THE BREAD BOY A Short Story With Morals. On a certain day, a young boy who sold sweet bread was having a really bad sales. He had walked several hours under the scorching heat of the sun without anyone stopping him to buy a bread. He became frustrated, exhausted and angry. Then he said to himself. "I think I will take a little rest under a shade, and then I'll continue. I might get lucky and sell some bread" He deliberately tried to ignore the situation to keep his hopes up. As he wandered the streets, looking for a place to rest, an elderly woman stopped him. She uttered. "You look so tired and weary. And it looks like you haven't sold a bread yet. Oh, poor child struggling under the burning sun" The boy whispered. "What do you suggest I do now, ma'am?" The elderly woman said. "You should give up already. As it stands now, it doesn't look like you'll sell a bread today. Just go home already. Or would you rather spend all day roaming around unnecessarily on the streets?..." The boy remained speechless as he watched the elderly woman walk away. At that very instant, a young man who was standing nearby and had overheard the short conversation, walked up to the bread boy and said. "I think she's right. You should quit already. Don't you see how exhausted you are? It's already a bad sales day for you and there's nothing you can do about it. Just go home now, otherwise you'll fall sick from excessive stress" The boy suddenly felt discouraged and bewildered. With little or no hope of selling his bread, he decided to give up for the day. So, he turned and left immediately. But no sooner had he left, than a man drove his car down the street, asking some group of people. "Have you seen the kid who sells bread around the streets? I want to buy all his bread to feed the children in our orphanage" Someone replied. "I think he has already retired for the day" Morals Of The Story: Believe what your heart tells you, not what others say. And also, don't give up too fast just because you don't see it working. Sometimes, all it needs is a little bit more time. Exercise patience.

Unfortunately Adelekes are returning to APC. It was Aregbesola that drove them out.‼️ From my inbox: I greet you, sir. The actual situation is that President Tinubu has not accepted the defection of the Adelekes. The rumoured defection has no sanction of the President, ex-Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, Baba Bisi Akande, Otunba Iyiola Omisore and other stakeholders in Osun APC. The condition given to Governor Adeleke in Bourdillion during Sallah was that he should reconcile with leadership of the APC in Osun and most importantly that the ticket was not Automatic. Till date, Governor Adeleke has not met the condition. His media men and supporters are even cursing and abusing Tinubu for forcing and blackmailing the governor to join APC. They are not disclosing to Osun people that they are the ones begging the President to join APC. Those lobbying for Governor Adeleke like Governor Dapo Abiodun are encouraging him to gate-crash and buy every structure over when he settles down in APC. On their side, the Adelekes are reluctant to take such a gamble. They want to be sure of what is in the offing for them before they defect. Everything is still at the standstill.❗ Ayoade Ojeniyi

BY THY MERCY OH LORD, LET EVERY OF MY WASTED TIME AND SESSION BE REVERSED FOR MY GOOD. I PLACE A DEMAND ON THE HEAVENS FOR AN IMMEDIATE AND TOTAL REVERSAL OF MY WASTED TIME. BY YOUR MERCY I SHALL FULFILL DESTINY AND PURPOSE IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

Daily devotion for July 13th Halfway Christians Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. He said to them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? Acts 19:1b-2a When Paul came to Ephesus he found men and women who had been told about Jesus, at least to the extent of the baptism of John. He obviously thought they were Christians when he first met them. But, as he watched them, he observed that something was missing, and I am sure there is puzzlement in his voice when finally he says to them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? This question indicates that the normal Christian pattern is that the Spirit is given immediately upon belief in Jesus Christ. There is no suggestion here that the Spirit of God is given a long period after belief in Christ. There are many people who believe in Jesus and yet who today do not evidence much sign of the work of the Holy Spirit. There are many churches in our land today where, as I am privileged sometimes to speak in them, I want to say to the people, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? There is no sign of it. The Holy Spirit is given upon belief in the Lord Jesus, but that does not stop with one act of believing. We are to keep on believing in the Lord Jesus and thus to manifest his power and vitality in our lives. It is that continual act of believing which releases the freshness of the Spirit in our lives. Paul says to the Colossians, As you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him... (Colossians 2:6 RSV). As you received him by an act of believing, keep on believing, walk in him, live in him, so that you might demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit. So what is wrong if there is no evidence of the working of the Spirit? None of the joy, none of the grace, none of the power? It is because we are not believing in him. We believed in him once, but that believing has ceased. There is now no sense of expectancy, no fresh anticipation of his working in our lives today. Are there signs of the Spirit of God in your life? Are his presence, his power, his working, the freshness, the vitality, the enthusiasm, the excitement of the Spirit visible in your Christian life? If not, you have ceased believing in Jesus. There must be this expectation of his working, for he makes himself available to us continually, moment by moment, to fulfill every demand life makes upon us, as we expect him to do so. That note of expectancy is the evidence, or the sign, of faith which marks the difference between the sterility, the deadness, and the dullness of religiosity without the Spirit, and the fullness, the freshness, and the vigor and power of a Spirit-filled life. So this question, addressed to these halfway Christians of long ago Ephesus, still has meaning for us today, as we understand the need for a continual act of faith in the Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus, how frequently I fail to understand the truth of your promise that you have come to live within me. Grant to me anew, Lord, the faith to lay hold of this promise and to make visible in my life.

IMPORTANCE OF SAYING SORRY IN A RELATIONSHIP AND MARRIAGE WHEN YOU ARE WRONG Apologizing is an essential part of maintaining a healthy, strong, and resilient relationship or marriage. It serves as a bridge to healing, restoring trust, and building a deeper connection with your partner. Here’s why saying sorry is so important: WHY APOLOGIZE? 🤔 1. Acknowledges hurt or wrongdoing An apology signals that you recognize the pain or harm caused by your actions, showing that you care about how your partner feels. 2. Shows empathy and understanding It reflects an understanding of your partner's perspective and emotions, demonstrating that you value their feelings. 3. Diffuses tension and conflict Apologizing helps to de-escalate difficult situations, calming emotions and clearing the air for healthy communication. 4. Rebuilds trust and credibility A sincere apology demonstrates your willingness to take responsibility for your actions, which helps rebuild lost trust and re-establish credibility in your relationship. 5. Demonstrates accountability and responsibility Apologizing shows you are accountable for your actions, accepting responsibility rather than deflecting blame. 6. Encourages forgiveness and healing Saying sorry opens the door to forgiveness, allowing both partners to move forward and heal together. 7.

HOW TO APOLOGIZE EFFECTIVELY 🙏 4 1. Use the "3 Rs" of apology: Regret, Responsibility, and Remedy Regret the hurt caused, take responsibility for your actions, and suggest a remedy for moving forward. 2. Be sincere and genuine in your apology Authenticity is key. A half-hearted apology can often do more harm than good. 3.

Follow through on your commitments An apology is only meaningful if it’s backed up by action. Ensure that you take steps to avoid repeating the same mistake. 7. Show empathy and understanding Show that you truly understand how your actions have impacted your partner, not just in words but in actions as well. 8. Be patient and open to feedback Healing takes time. Be patient with your partner and open to hearing how they feel, even if it takes time to forgive. TIPS FOR MEN 🤜🤛 1. Swallow your pride and admit fault It takes strength to admit when you’re wrong. Let go of your ego to foster a deeper connection. 2. Use "I" statements to take ownership Phrases like “I am sorry for…” rather than “You made me do…” put the responsibility on you. 3. Avoid making excuses or justifying Resist the urge to explain away the mistake. Just apologize and focus on your partner’s feelings. 4. Show vulnerability and emotional intelligence Being open about your emotions builds trust and shows that you care about your partner's feelings. 5. Be willing to make amends Your partner should feel that your apology is sincere, so be prepared to make real changes if necessary. TIPS FOR WOMEN 👗 1. Communicate clearly and assertively Share your feelings honestly and directly, avoiding passive-aggressive behavior or withholding. 2. Specify what you need from your partner Let your partner know what will help resolve the issue or what you need moving forward. 3. Avoid being critical or judgmental Offer a soft, loving approach when addressing the issue, rather than criticizing or pointing fingers. 4. Show appreciation for your partner's apology When your partner apologizes, acknowledge their effort and express gratitude for their sincerity. 5. Encourage open and honest communication Foster a space where both partners can freely express their feelings without fear of judgment. WHEN TO APOLOGIZE 🤝 1. After a conflict or argument Don’t wait for too long to apologize. Address the issue as soon as possible to prevent lingering resentment. 2. When you've hurt or offended your partner If your words or actions have caused pain, it’s important to recognize that and apologize immediately. 3. When you've made a mistake or error A simple acknowledgment that you were wrong goes a long way in healing wounds. 4. When you've broken a promise or commitment If you’ve failed to keep your word, apologize and demonstrate that you can be trusted moving forward. 5. When you've disregarded your partner's feelings Apologizing when you’ve been insensitive shows respect for your partner's emotional well-being. Saying sorry isn’t just about saying words; it’s about understanding, acknowledging, and healing. By apologizing effectively, you strengthen your relationship, deepen trust, and build a stronger foundation for the future.
