THE USE OF SALT AS A HACK

1. To prevent plantains or bananas from getting ripe, completely soak them in a solution of water mixed with salt. Remove them from the solution when you want them to get ripe.

2. Placing your overripe tomatoes in cold salted water overnight will help make them fresh and firm.

3. To remove the smell from your hands after cutting onions, chicken or fish, just wash your hands with salt and water, you will have no smell anymore.

4. If your liquid milk always spoils before you finish it, you can add a pinch of salt when you first open it, this will help the milk stay fresh for longer.

5. To avoid the hot feeling of chili on your hands after cutting/slicing it with your hands, rub them with salt and vegetable oil or red oil and wash them.

6. To preserve your beans mix them with salt and put them in a container. Your fermented carob beans will stay fresh

7. When the chili accidentally gets into your eyes, put a pinch of salt in your mouth, the heat of the chili will disappear and you will see the magic.

8. When storing empty containers or bottles, add a pinch of salt to prevent them from smelling bad.

9. Sprinkle some salt on your fresh chilies while pounding them, this helps to pound them quickly.

10. Soak bitter leaves in salt and hot water, this helps to remove the extra bitterness before cooking them.

11. The salt and detergent mixture can help you kill ants and cockroaches that are bothering you in the kitchen.

12. If you cut a lemon and don't want to use it to finish, sprinkle it with salt, it will stay fresh for 3 days. Make sure to rinse it before using it again.

11. Salt can be used as a preservation method to store meat, fish or vegetables. It helps prevent the growth of bacteria.

13. Grease fires or small fires can be extinguished using salt.

In the book Outwitting the Devil, there is this profound statement that I came across:
"It is a sin to remain in ignorance because that leads to poverty and loss of self-reliance."

In 2025, while the world debates AI disruption, economic downturns, and talent wars, a quieter plague keeps spreading unchecked.

Not the absence of data, but the absence of deliberate understanding. That distinction matters.

Napoleon Hill’s Outwitting the Devil didn’t miss words: “It is a sin to remain in ignorance because that leads to poverty and loss of self-reliance.”
And it’s true. The greatest mountain you’ll ever face is not your competition, your background, or your economy, it’s what you don’t know and refuse to learn.

Every time you outsource your thinking, ignore emerging trends, or operate by outdated assumptions, you’re silently licensing poverty, not just in your wallet, but in your decisions, relationships, and influence.

In the first quarter of 2025, over 62% of startup failures globally weren’t due to funding. They died from strategic ignorance, misreading market signals, misjudging buyer behavior, or misunderstanding internal capabilities.
Not lack of opportunity. Lack of perception.

Ignorance isn’t passive. It’s aggressive.
It robs confidence, delays execution, and deceives you into thinking you’re safer than you are.

The solution?
Kill ignorance like it’s your sworn enemy, because it is.
Read, study & practice obsessively.
Ask uncomfortable questions.
Audit what you “know.”
Seek perspective like your success depends on it, because it does.

Growth doesn’t begin with action. It begins with awareness.
And those who scale in impact, income, and influence, are those who treat ignorance as a problem to be solved, not a personality trait to be excused.

The truth? You don’t rise by chance. You rise by clarity, earned through the disciplined demolition of what you don’t yet understand.

And that journey starts today.

Dr. Joybert Javnyuy

If you’re someone who deeply self-reflects, you need to be very aware of something crucial for which most people are not aware of., ... Most people project!

This is an incredibly important awareness to cultivate because you might mistakenly self-reflect on their projections, thinking that they, too, are engaging in honest introspection.

You can easily get lost in this confusing loop of self-questioning, often based on people gaslighting you or subtly inducing self-doubt, simply because they are unwilling or unable to turn the mirror toward themselves.

So, before you consider what someone else says to you about yourself, first of all, be absolutely sure that it comes from a person who is not only able to take accountability for themselves, but is also genuinely in the state of mind of trying to understand you, rather than judge.

Understand that many people are not willing to confront their own flaws or turn the mirror to themselves. They don't care if they induce self-doubt and mental fog in you, as long as it helps them get away from their own wrong-doing. Not to forget those who know you are someone who self-reflects, and are simply using that very quality against you to manipulate you.

Self-awareness is beautiful, a powerful tool for personal growth. But that being said, external awareness—awareness of others' patterns and intentions—is just as important, if not more so, in order not to fall into other people's toxic traps. This commitment to truth, even when uncomfortable, allows you to live with unfiltered emotions and clarity.

Men,

*True signs of growth and maturity:*

– You forgive quickly, not because they deserve it, but because peace matters.
– You no longer chase love—what’s real will stay.
– You judge less and understand more.
– You accept pain as part of life, not the end of it.
– You learn to respect opinions, even when you disagree.
– You think beyond yourself—open-minded and grounded.
– You choose peace over pointless arguments.
– And most importantly, your joy comes from within, not from validation or people.

That’s how real men evolve. In silence. With strength.

Part 3

THE ARK LEGACY PROJECT:
1,500 YEARS, 400 YEARS AND 40 YEARS AFTER HAGIA SOPHIA, ST PETERS BASILICA AND OUR LADY OF PEACE BASILICA

APPARENT LESSONS LEARNT BY BISHOP OYEDEPO

Funding and Doctrine (contd from Part 1):

Bishop Oyedepo has ensured that the Ark project didn't affect any other project in the Church. Notably, the Kingdom Care as well as Transport Schemes were initiated or re-introduced to cater primarily for challenged members of the Church. Also no offering whatsoever is raised in services with regards to the Ark project whether in Canaanland or any branch/parish since inception. I believe that this has never happened for a project anywhere close to this in the history of Christianity. No special offerings, no special group of sponsors, no nothing, yet on a personal note, my biggest givings towards any building project in my life by plain conviction has been towards the Ark project yet I am not 'begging for factory" as so many haters of the Church pretending to love the poor do on social media..

In fact whenever the mention of the Ark is made in church, it's always as a testimony or a point of thanksgiving. Prayers of thanksgiving for the Ark commenced on 17th March 2025.

It has been said that if not that the project is so close to Faith Tabernacle and too big to ignore, nobody would have known that such a gargantuan project was going on. Bishop Oyedepo's mantra remains Matthew 6:33...Seek ye first the Kingdom.... and all these things (that others are dying to get) shall be added..." Thus focusing on soul winning and not fundraising throughout the period of the mega project. He has rather emphasized reaching souls, bringing them to Church and nurturing them to growth. By so doing, souls like the harvest are preserved and the role of the Church as the Barn for harvested souls from the vineyard is maintained. There have been many instances of newly won converts including children bringing in more souls such as members of their families and loved ones to be nurtured by the Word.

Many may ask, how then is the Ark being funded? The answer lies in the first example of the Tabernacle of Moses-Spirit led sacrificial giving. As far as I can remember, during Shiloh 2015, Faith Theatre (as the Ark was then called) was introduced to the Church. It was announced that the annual Shiloh sacrifice of that year would go towards the Ark, the announcement was made again at Shiloh 2023. Personally I disregarded the quietness of the Church and went in search of the Ark Project account details. I succeeded after almost a year as it was eventually made public after 3 years. Never have I seen an organization which keeps project account details away from the public until the Ark project. The aim of keeping the account details away from the people was to keep the congregation away from any kind of pressure.

Oyedepo tells the story of how he and other leaders in the early days of the Church decided to stretch themselves to raise money to pay the Church rent of ₦3000 after a member who pledged suddenly disappointed and announcement could not be made in Church which would embarrass the pledger and put the whole Church under undue pressure.
The Mandate states that:
The Church members or public must never be put under any kind of pressure to give towards any kind of project. Launching and appeal funds are prohibited.

Additionally it says:
All recurrent financial obligations must be given priority over project disbursement.
It goes further to instruct:

On no account should recurrent financial obligations to staff or third parties be delayed due to project execution.

It then concludes on projects:
Effort to provide appropriate facilities shall not be allowed to hinder spiritual growth of the Church.

Today the Ark is heading towards completion with breakneck speed and noiselessly yet none except outsiders, onlookers, the gates of hell and the gates of men such as factory beggars who do not give but want to convert kingdom resources (whose God is their belly) are against the project and hide behind their keypads to type like sons of belial.

Some of the people criticizing the building of the Ark will rather spend time on TV watching football in some of the best stadia in the world then engage also in gambling. Same people will rather see football stadia and betting centres filled than the Church filled. It's not really about the growth of the Kingdom but an anti kingdom and Judas Iscariot mindset.

For these, the response is that the Church of Christ is not built to satisfy the gates of hell...and of men. That must have been why the Lord Jesus Christ Affirmed...

... And upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S HOUSE shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills: and all nations shall flow to it. Isaiah 2:2

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S HOUSE shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills: and all nations shall flow to it. Isaiah 2:2

Part 3

THE ARK LEGACY PROJECT:
1,500 YEARS, 400 YEARS AND 40 YEARS AFTER HAGIA SOPHIA, ST PETERS BASILICA AND OUR LADY OF PEACE BASILICA

APPARENT LESSONS LEARNT BY BISHOP OYEDEPO

Funding and Doctrine (contd from Part 1):

Bishop Oyedepo has ensured that the Ark project didn't affect any other project in the Church. Notably, the Kingdom Care as well as Transport Schemes were initiated or re-introduced to cater primarily for challenged members of the Church. Also no offering whatsoever is raised in services with regards to the Ark project whether in Canaanland or any branch/parish since inception. I believe that this has never happened for a project anywhere close to this in the history of Christianity. No special offerings, no special group of sponsors, no nothing, yet on a personal note, my biggest givings towards any building project in my life by plain conviction has been towards the Ark project yet I am not 'begging for factory" as so many haters of the Church pretending to love the poor do on social media..

In fact whenever the mention of the Ark is made in church, it's always as a testimony or a point of thanksgiving. Prayers of thanksgiving for the Ark commenced on 17th March 2025.

It has been said that if not that the project is so close to Faith Tabernacle and too big to ignore, nobody would have known that such a gargantuan project was going on. Bishop Oyedepo's mantra remains Matthew 6:33...Seek ye first the Kingdom.... and all these things (that others are dying to get) shall be added..." Thus focusing on soul winning and not fundraising throughout the period of the mega project. He has rather emphasized reaching souls, bringing them to Church and nurturing them to growth. By so doing, souls like the harvest are preserved and the role of the Church as the Barn for harvested souls from the vineyard is maintained. There have been many instances of newly won converts including children bringing in more souls such as members of their families and loved ones to be nurtured by the Word.

Many may ask, how then is the Ark being funded? The answer lies in the first example of the Tabernacle of Moses-Spirit led sacrificial giving. As far as I can remember, during Shiloh 2015, Faith Theatre (as the Ark was then called) was introduced to the Church. It was announced that the annual Shiloh sacrifice of that year would go towards the Ark, the announcement was made again at Shiloh 2023. Personally I disregarded the quietness of the Church and went in search of the Ark Project account details. I succeeded after almost a year as it was eventually made public after 3 years. Never have I seen an organization which keeps project account details away from the public until the Ark project. The aim of keeping the account details away from the people was to keep the congregation away from any kind of pressure.

Oyedepo tells the story of how he and other leaders in the early days of the Church decided to stretch themselves to raise money to pay the Church rent of ₦3000 after a member who pledged suddenly disappointed and announcement could not be made in Church which would embarrass the pledger and put the whole Church under undue pressure.
The Mandate states that:
The Church members or public must never be put under any kind of pressure to give towards any kind of project. Launching and appeal funds are prohibited.

Additionally it says:
All recurrent financial obligations must be given priority over project disbursement.
It goes further to instruct:

On no account should recurrent financial obligations to staff or third parties be delayed due to project execution.

It then concludes on projects:
Effort to provide appropriate facilities shall not be allowed to hinder spiritual growth of the Church.

Today the Ark is heading towards completion with breakneck speed and noiselessly yet none except outsiders, onlookers, the gates of hell and the gates of men such as factory beggars who do not give but want to convert kingdom resources (whose God is their belly) are against the project and hide behind their keypads to type like sons of belial.

Some of the people criticizing the building of the Ark will rather spend time on TV watching football in some of the best stadia in the world then engage also in gambling. Same people will rather see football stadia and betting centres filled than the Church filled. It's not really about the growth of the Kingdom but an anti kingdom and Judas Iscariot mindset.

For these, the response is that the Church of Christ is not built to satisfy the gates of hell...and of men. That must have been why the Lord Jesus Christ Affirmed...
