Good afternoon great gada, happy end of match 2025.
Glory to Almighty God for his mercies upon us all.
You can win failure and disappointment if only you choose persistence as your weapon.
There's a greatness locked up in your purpose, it is only persistence that can unlock it.
It takes persistence to attend perfection. If you can persist, you will become perfect.
Thomas Edison persisted until he perfected his invention.
Edison gave the world meanfescent light, after he conducted one thousand failed experiments.
It was a journalist that asked him how he felt about failing one thousand times replied, I didn't fail a thousand times.
The electric light blue was just a one thousand step process.
Our problem is that we're coming from an orientation, where failure is seen as an embarrassment. It is unacceptable. Many folks would perfer to do nothing in order to avoid failure.
Thomas Edison assert that, many of life's failure are just people who did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up. The key to success is being persistent, willing to move through your failure, leaning as you go, and taking hold of the object of your pursuit, that lies just beyond them.
You should not allow failure or adversities to determine your destiny. You must even prepare for adversity, knowing fully well that adversity is not synonymous with your destiny. You're created unstoppable.
With God on our side we're unstoppable. Have a blissful week.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

TOPIC:ENFORCING YOUR RIGHT AND TAKING A STAND VIA THE WORD

TEXT:1 CORINTHIANS 16:13

•To "watch" means to be vigilant, expecting something to happen.

•Weakness is not of God. Power is God and it is what you have in your inner man. You are as big and strong as the one you carry inside.

•Taking a stand via the word means, be fearless, be willing to push past every adversity. Don't see a situation and run away, else it will outclass you.

•Your right has been given to you, you need to enforce your right and take a stand.

•You need a word to liberate you out of every fear and issues of life.

•Nobody fights where there's no courage - 1 Timothy 6:12

•There's a word for every war.

•The provocation of your faith is to see the results of all that God has spoken concerning you - Hebrews 11:1-3

•If you say you have faith in God and you don't practice it, then you're outdoing yourself.

•Faith is action.

•By faith we understand God's word in your life.

•Your understanding of God's word will always give shape to the results you have in your life.

•Result is the outcome of a particular action with the desire to produce desirable or undesirable proofs - Hebrews 11:33-35

•When it is a desirable proof, it is what you want. When it produces undesirable proofs, it is what you don't want.

•Lies contaminates the pureness of faith once it is considered.

•Every lie is a bondage to keep you perpetually entangled in the same problem.

•Taking a stand in faith is identifying your current position and acting out your faith in that direction - Luke 15:15

•Your current position propels you to speak the right word. Use the word to shape it in.

•The daily confession has profound impact on your destiny.

RESULTS THAT YOU CAN SEE WHEN YOU ENFORCE YOUR RIGHT IN GOD'S WORD

1). Renew's your mind.
Transforms your attitude to align with God's word - Romans 12:2

2). Builds your faith.
Strengthens you to trust God the more on every promise He has made - Romans 10:17

•Repeated confession of God's word creates new ground for God's word.

3). It protects and defends you - Psalm 23:1-3

•It makes you fearless.

4). It enhances your spiritual growth and improves your relationship with God - Galatians 5:1-2
Proverbs 18:21

•What you fail to speak, the devil will hold to it.

•When you keep resisting him, he will flee.

According to psychologists, there are four types of intelligence:

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ)

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ)

3. Social Quotient (SQ)

4. Adversity Quotient (AQ)

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ)

IQ measures your ability to comprehend, analyze, and solve problems. It helps with tasks like solving math problems, memorizing information, and recalling lessons.

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ)

EQ reflects your ability to manage emotions and interact harmoniously with others. It includes skills like maintaining relationships, being responsible, respecting boundaries, showing humility, and demonstrating honesty and empathy.

3. Social Quotient (SQ)

SQ measures your ability to build and maintain relationships over time. It reflects how well you connect with others, collaborate, and navigate social environments.

Why EQ and SQ Matter

People with high EQ and SQ often achieve greater success in life than those with a high IQ but low emotional and social intelligence. While schools primarily focus on developing IQ, EQ and SQ are just as important for personal and professional growth.

Someone with a high IQ may end up working for a person with strong EQ and SQ, even if the latter has only an average IQ.

EQ represents your character.

SQ represents your charisma.

Focus on developing all three, especially EQ and SQ, to thrive in different aspects of life.

4. Adversity Quotient (AQ) – A New Perspective

AQ measures your ability to endure difficulties and bounce back from setbacks without losing mental stability. It determines who perseveres in tough times, who abandons their responsibilities, and who may struggle with despair or hopelessness.

A Message to Parents

Expose your children to more than just academics. Encourage them to value manual labor (never use work as punishment), participate in sports, and explore the arts.

Help them develop IQ, EQ, SQ, and AQ so they become well-rounded individuals capable of navigating life independently.

Instead of preparing the road for your children, prepare your children for the road.

"According to Psychologists, there are four types of Intelligence:

1) Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
2) Emotional Quotient (EQ)
3) Social Quotient (SQ)
4) Adversity Quotient (AQ)

1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve maths, memorize things, and recall lessons.

2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine and considerate.

3. Social Quotient (SQ): this is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time.

People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go further in life than those with a high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ and SQ are played down.

A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ.

Your EQ represents your Character, while your SQ represents your Charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs, especially your EQ and SQ.

Now there is a 4th one, a new paradigm:

4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ): The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life, and come out of it without losing your mind.

When faced with troubles, AQ determines who will give up, who will abandon their family, and who will consider suicide.

Parents please expose your children to other areas of life than just Academics. They should adore manual labour (never use work as a form of punishment), Sports and Arts.

Develop their IQ, as well as their EQ, SQ and AQ. They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independently of their parents.

Finally, do not prepare the road for your children. Prepare your children for the road."

“5 THINGS NO ONE TALKS ABOUT BEFORE MARRIAGE"

Sometime ago, I told a married friend of mine I was going to wash his car for free in exchange for some delicious marriage advice that they hardly discuss in Church.

I mean like practical everyday things my partner and I should know before we walk down the altar, not the regular 'submit to your husband, love your wife like you love yourself, only missionary style is godly, respect your in-laws, and all other things they teach us on the surface that we have heard and tired.

I washed his car cheerfully after he shared these 5 deep facts with me, I believe it will bless you too...

05- EMOTIONAL TEMPERAMENTS: Do not wait until marriage to find out how deeply emotional your partner can be, and to what limits.

What are his breaking points? How does she deal with a fight? How do we apologize after a disagreement? Is keeping mute or ignoring your calls her own idea of avoiding a fight? Does he love to be left alone after an argument as a way of avoiding a confrontation? It is so important that you talk about these things when the 'I love you' is still fresh, to help you have a good knowledge of your partner's reactions when they come.

04- HOLIDAYS AND TRADITIONS: Wow! Holidays can be so wonderful together, but where do we spend most of our holidays? And with whose parents do we spend it with, mine or yours? Is it okay for my family and relatives to come around for a holiday? Whose family traditions do we pass on to our children?

You might think 'naaa, this isn't important' , but wait until marriage when one mother in-law decides it's her right to be visiting the family every weekend while the other mother in-law is not happy she only gets to see her grandchildren once every Christmas.

03- SPIRITUAL TEMPERAMENTS: it is not enough to know that your partner is a Christian, God-fearing, and all other pretty Christian stories we make up to qualify a spouse!

How is his relationship with God? How does she reflect her excitement about God with other people around her? Does your partner charge you to get intimate with God? Does he approve of morning devotions? Does he approve of raising an altar for God in the house? What are their beliefs about tithing and seeding? Where do they stand concerning faith principles like first fruits and charity? I hope you know it is possible to have a prayer strength of 6 hours and still not believe in seeding.

02- HOUSE HOLD DUTIES: this is one thing we never talk about. Women do all the chores right? But WRONG! Unless you are comfortable with playing the ‘complete house wife duty’, then you’ve got to talk about who does the what, at what times, and at what conditions? Whose turn to look after the baby, who drops them off at school and back, who takes the car to work, who pounds the fufu? Etc. Heheheeheh, I can hear some unromantic men saying “Godforbid I cannot pound any fufu after paying the bride price”. Lol

01- MONEY STUFF: some of us are more comfortable with our boyfriend taking us to exotic places to eat and drink lavishly, buy us expensive gift presents, and spend big on extravagant dates. But we forget to pay attention to his ability to manage his finances, spending habits, credit history, and bills. What will our budget look like? How should we save? How do we invest? How much does she earn? What is she bringing to the table?

00- SEX: hehehe, I would have loved to talked about this too, but the strong things he shared with me, hmmmm, if I share them here some people will start dreaming dreams and seeing visions in this cold weather. Soo bye bye!

There are a lot more cardinal points than the above listed five, things like love language, family orientation, business sense, adversity quotient, core values and principles e.t.c. but sadly, the majority focus more on physical appearance, pocket strength and sexual ability. We live in a society where men especially are weighed by their pocket strengths and gbola size. Frivolities have become priorities in these present days and it's so sad.
But God will Help us to choose right & love right.

If you see a future with that partner of yours, and you haven’t taken time to deal with these topics yet, please hurry and get on with it. Because this will become the big talking point a day after the WEDDING.

A TRUE FRIEND IS A FRIEND IN ADVERSITY!! BRAVO DAVIDO!!!

In the quest for success,
find peace with your failures.
Embrace your weaknesses.
Let rejection strengthen you.

Cherish the days when you feel inadequate, as they signal
your potential for growth. Appreciate the highs and lows.

Welcome the "no's and let
them guide you with passion.
For it is through these experiences that the summit of
Success is truly rewarding.

From the depths of adversity,
the heights of greatness are
most cherished.

Your Setback Is a Setup for a Comeback
What looks like failure is just a setup for your next breakthrough. Every great champion has faced adversity—your time to rise is coming!

#SetbackForComeback #StrongerThanBefore #GodIsNotDone #FaithWins #BounceBack #VictoryMindset

The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity

Life can throw storms at us when we least expect them. The loss, the setbacks, the heartbreaks—they can feel unbearable. But here’s the truth: storms don’t last forever. They come to test your faith, refine your character, and prepare you for the blessings ahead.

Instead of focusing on the storm, focus on the One who can calm it. God’s strength is made perfect in your weakness. He uses every challenge to build resilience, every pain to birth purpose, and every obstacle to create opportunities.

You may not see it now, but one day, you’ll look back and thank God for the very things you thought would break you. Keep walking in faith; the rainbow comes after the rain.
