The person who you are is the best of yourself

“I reached out to Javis last month. I wanted her to be the main vixen in my music video. She responded, and we had a conversation, I was ready to pay her 20 million naira.

But when I sent her the script detailing the role she’d be playing, she declined, saying it was inappropriate because she’s in a relationship.

Well, that’s her loss now. I dropped the video, and it already has 15 million views in just 24 hours.
Imagine the kind of exposure she would’ve gotten. She turned it all down because of a relationship that probably won’t even last. So pathetic.” ~~BlizzyDice

If Jarvis were your younger sister what would be your advice for her?

Islamic Religious Extremists In Ogun State, Yoruba Land, Stabs An Igbo Lady To Death

Today, we received the report of an Igbo woman identified as Mrs Blessing Eze who was stabbed to death by some Islamic religious extremists in Ogun State. The Extremists  goes about collecting unlawful levies from traders for the June 6th Eid Mubarak prayers. It was gathered that the Islamic Extremists had Unlawfully taxed the Info market traders  the sum of 1,500.00 Naira per shop for the Eid Mubarak prayers on June 6.  When they stormed the market in  collection of the money, it was in the morning and Mrs Blessing Eze told them that it is still morning and that she had not sold anything for the day. She told them to go and come back later but they refused and then began to destroy her goods. She then firmly buckled one and demanded that they pay for her goods they have destroyed. That was when they stabbed her. One of the Islamic Extremists collecting the unlawful levy quickly brought out a knife and stabbed the woman in the chest right in her shop, and she died.
For clarity sake, these extremists are Muslims but their act is criminally. That is why we called them extremists because we don't want to believe that they were sent from the mosque to go and extort or to go and kill people in the market,  unless otherwise.

Extortion is a crime and no crime  bypasses the punishment of the laws. When has Muslims started taxing people for Eid Mubarak prayers? And, why should people compulsorily pay you for your own prayers?  Giving is by willingness, you don't force people to give to you. We believe that no true Islamic leader will send his people to go and force 1,500.00 Naira out of traders and to kill any trader who refuses to pay.
Mrs Blessing Eze did not refuse to pay, rather she told them to go and come back later that the time was still early for her to raise such an amount of money. But they refused and then killed her. This is how crimes are committed in Nigeria but the most painful thing is that when it is committed by Muslims against an Igbo person or against a Christian, justice will be denied.

If there would be no justice for this woman, then we might be left with the option to believe what people have been parading about that "Islam is a religion of violence". People have been saying this but we just don't want to believe it because inasmuch as we know that some Islamic worshipers are evil, there are many good ones in there who are not violent and this also extends to every other religions.

Fingers crossed, but the case of this woman will never be swept under the carpet just like that. We are demanding justice for her and, every Islamic person who believes that Islam is not a religion of "violence" must stand up for this woman's justice. All those involved in her death must be arrested and made to pay for the crime they committed. Of course, no payment will bring back the dead, but they must pay for it. It must not go like the case of Deborah Samuel.

MEMORIZE
Luke 5:5
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

READ
Luke 5:4-9
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: *When we submit to God's word over our lives, we have submitted to the ultimate in the universe.*

MESSAGE
The universe came into existence at the instance of God's spoken word.

He literally spoke everything into existence and held them in place firmly by the same word. So powerful is the Word, that He Himself submits to His word.

Everything is a product of words relatively.

Every man or woman is a product of words. We all are products of the words we have listened to cumulatively over the years.

The medical doctor was made by listening to certain words over a period of time. The lawyer was made by words. The Architect is a product of words. Our parents moulded our lives with words.

And God moulded the universe by simply speaking.

*In the realms of words, God's word is the ultimate.*

The Bible puts it this way;
Psalms 138:2 "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name."

The word is the greatest revelation of God in the universe. He has always existed as the Word. He manifested as the Word. His word is His bond.

And when we submit to God's word over our lives, we have submitted to the ultimate in the universe. There is nothing as great as the Word of God anywhere in the universe.

The one who submits to God's word will be put in command of the world, because God rules and runs the world by His word.

It appeared that Peter the fisherman understood this truth even as an unschooled fisherman that he was.

As against his professional ethics in fishery, he hearkened to the word of the Son of God and his night was turned into day.
Peter became an apostle of the Word because he was converted by the power of the word that worked in his life. He was a living witness of the wonders of God's word.

*Beloved, everything changes and turns around at God's word.*

It doesn't matter how bad your case may be today, there is hope for you if you will surrender your life to God through His word and begin to obey what He says.

Make the word of God your greatest companion today, and your story will surely be rewritten. Shalom.

ACTION STEPS
1. Locate the scriptures that deals directly with your peculiar case and apply them to your life.
2. Meditate on them regularly until they become part of your life.
3. Act on them, speak them over your case until your change becomes obvious.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide. Open my eyes that I might see wondrous things from your word. And let my own seasons of enjoying your wonders begin in Jesus name. Amen.

REMEMBER
*When we submit to God's word over our lives, we have submitted to the ultimate in the universe.*

HYMN
" There shall be showers of blessing " :
This is the promise of love ;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.

Show - - ers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need ;
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.

2
" There shall be showers of blessing "
Precious reviving again ;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.

3
" There shall be showers of blessing " :
Send them upon us, O Lordl
Grant to us now a refreshing ;
Come, and now honour Thy Word.

4
" There shall be showers of blessing ":
Oh that to-day they might fall,
Now as to God we're confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call !

𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 (𝟖) 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐀 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐆𝐆:

We have so many things in life that we can handle with strong hands & they can withstand pressure and force. There are things that are so fragile in nature & anyone who wants to handle them must do so with every carefulness and tenderness. I saw a truck loaded with cartons of Noddles. Two guys were asked to move the cartons of noddles from the truck into a shop. You need to see the throwing and catching prowess of this two guys. One was in the truck throwing the cartons to the one at the entrance of the shop and he was throwing it into the shop. The one in the truck can throw about 3 cartons at a go and the one in the shop will catch it so well. They can do it like that because the noodles in the cartons are not fragile.

They can't handle crates of egg like that when loading from a truck into a shop. It takes extra carefulness and tenderness, if I not ,it will break and that will amount to huge debt and wastages.

Friends, there are things we also must carry and handle with extra- carefulness because these things are fragile and once broken, it is not easy to put back together and once some of these things get broken, they can lead to huge damage and destiny wastage.
Let me mention 8 of those things you must carry /handle with carefulness as if you are carrying a crate of eggs.

1. 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄: Your name is very important and fragile. There are names that stink in the ears of people simply because, those who bear those names spoilt the names. The way to handle your name with carefulness is to be careful of your doings. Your actions can rubbish your name. A good name can open doors for you & for your children and generations after you. The Bible says ' A good name is better than precious ointment...' ( Ecclesiastes 7:1). When your name is mentioned anywhere, like in your office, at home, church, on social media like Facebook, Twitter, IG, etc. What comes to people's minds? Carry your name with carefulness. It is a huge asset. Read one of the quotes written by Shakespeare. 'Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed'.

2: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓: Many hearts are broken, shattered, wounded and bitter today. One of the factors responsible for this is because many of this heart owners were careless with their hearts. You can guard your heart from being broken and bitter. Run away from people, and things that are bent on breaking your heart. Carry your heart like a crate of eggs. You need a whole heart before you can be said to be fully whole!

3. 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐖𝐈𝐅𝐄 : When you put too much pressure on your wife, you will 'break' her. ' Likewise ye husbands, dwell with your wife according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel...' ( I Peter 3:7)
Handle your wife with carefulness and tenderness. Let tenderness flow in your manliness. Don't be wicked to your wife. Carry her like a Queen. She's stron, powerful and wise, yet, she needs to be protected, cared for and handle like a crate of eggs. Treat her like that.

4: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐄: Your purpose is your destiny. If you don't handle it with utmost carefulness, it can slip off your hands and gaze and get broken. So many things can come like pressure on this 'crate of egg of purpose'. Discouragement, lack of fund, delayed Breakthrough, etc. These are things that may want to come like pressure on your purpose to break it. Don't allow it! Carry it with care. Carry your purpose away from people and things that may want to put pressure on it and break it.

5: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇: You have only this body as a vehicle that will carry you throughout your journey of destiny in this life. Handle your health with carefulness. No matter how big your vision is, once you are dead, nobody can really run the vision like you!

Fight for your health. Avoid things that can destroy your health. Wealth is useless when your health becomes useless. Don't kill yourself before your time. Do your best to stay alive. We still need you here. Don't use your fork and your spoon to dig your grave. Watch what you eat. Always pray for divine immunization against sickness and diseases.

6. 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐆𝐄.: So many people handle their marriage like a carton of noddles. Let me remind you sir/ma. Your marriage is fragile. Handle it like a crate of egg. It must not break! A broken marriage is not easily put back together, because, when a marriage breaks, many things get broken with it. Husband and wife, please, carry your marriage like an egg. It must not break!

7: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒. : Your worth is attached to your words. Be careful with words. Once broken, you can't gather it up again. Many people are careless with their words. They speak violently. They make empty promises and break it. Some say things they later wish they never said. Guard your words. Be careful with it.

8: 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘: Those who are running up and down to fulfill destiny here on earth without thinking of their eternity are not wise! Hear what the Bible says ' Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, they would have considered their latter end! ( Duet 32:29). Friends, the matter of eternity is not something you should handle with levity. Think about where you will spend eternity. You will die one day. I will also die one day. All that we are and have in this world are vanity upon vanity. Take the matter of your end very serious. Stop living carelessly as if you have extra life. Think about eternity. Don't live for the pleasure of this present moment alone. If you miss heaven, you will cry!

I believe someone here is blessed with this. You can share it to bless others. (don't plagiarize it )
