THE GROUP IS ALSO A FAMILY

  THE GROUP IS ALSO A FAMILY

A man, who regularly attended meetings with his friends, suddenly without any notice stopped participating.

After a few weeks, one very cold night the leader of that group decided to visit him.

He found the man at home, alone, sitting in front of a fireplace where a bright and cozy fire burned. The man welcomed the leader. There was a great silence.

The two men only watched the dancing flames around the logs that crackled in the fireplace.

After a few minutes the leader, without saying a word, examined the embers that formed and selected one of them, glowing most brightly of all, removing it to the side with a pair of tongs. Then he sat down again.

The host was paying attention to everything, fascinated. Before long, the lone ember flame subsided, until there was only a momentary glow & the fire soon went out.

In a short time what was previously bright light and heat had become nothing more than a black & dead piece of coal.

Very few words had been spoken since the greeting.

Before preparing to leave, the leader with the tongs picked up the useless coal & placed it again in the middle of the fire. Immediately, the ember was rekindled, fueled by the light & heat of the burning coals around him.

When the leader reached the door to leave, the host said: Thank you for your visit and for your beautiful lesson. I'll return to the group soon.

Why is the group extinguished.....?

Very simple:

Because each member that withdraws takes fire & heat from the rest.

It's worth reminding group members that they are a part of the flame.

It's also good to remind us that we are all responsible for keeping each other's flame burning & we must promote the union among us so that the fire is really strong, effective and lasting.

  THE GROUP IS ALSO A FAMILY

It doesn't matter if sometimes we are bothered by so many messages that reach the chat. What matters is to be connected. We are here to meet, learn, exchange ideas or simply to know that we are not alone.

Let's keep the flame alive.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR FIRE

Life is beautiful with friends and family.

AN ARMY COMMANDING OFFICER TOLD ME TWO THINGS HE ALWAYS TELLS HIS COLLEAGUES WHICH REALLY STRUCK A DEEP CHORD

 AN ARMY COMMANDING OFFICER TOLD ME TWO THINGS HE ALWAYS TELLS HIS COLLEAGUES WHICH REALLY STRUCK A DEEP CHORD

He said ....

1. Everyday before you go to bed, fix your uniform and hang it up on the wall opposite your bed. 

  When you get into bed look at that uniform and ask yourself.... What happens if I don't wear this uniform and try to enter any army installation..?

  The answer is far from being saluted! You will be stopped at the gate and questioned!

  And if another person wears this uniform and walks past the quarter guard he will get a salute. 

  So the salute was not for you it was for the uniform hanging on that wall which made you what you are but remember it's not going to be yours forever! It will go away one day...

So, prepare yourself for it!!!

2.  Every day when you finish work make every one leave your office.

Get up from your chair, walk across to the other side, sit down and look at your chair.

There were so many orders you passed today thinking they were very important...

But tomorrow someone else will sit on that same chair and may reverse all your orders rubbishing them!!!

The orders you passed thinking you were an important person was actually the chair which was passing them. And that chair is only temporary! It's not going to be yours forever! It just gave you some temporary powers which will be gone the moment you leave the chair.

Use the powers given to you judiciously. 

Use it to write your name in GOLD.

Use it to wipe away tears from the faces of the less privileged in our society. 

Use it for nation building and not with arrogance to prove your superiority!

 May I ask you....

What are you using your uniform or chair for today?

   Are you using them to bring people down and show them where power lies?

   Are you using them to help friends and cronies even when it is not their time and just because they salute you every morning?

   Are you using them to divide and rule and create enemies

  What are you using them for?

   Remember the person today you are using your uniform or chair to destroy may be the one that will tomorrow supervise your child, nephew, niece, grandson, granddaughter, stepchild, your sister or brother. 

   How will you feel if same is repeated on all these people?

   Think, my brothers and sisters, think. For you do not know tomorrow.

   Use your uniform or chair to promote the betterment of all.

Be a father, mother, sister, brother, a friend to all. 

Be an honest judge.

Hear all sides of every story.

Fear your creator. 

 Hate none, love all. Remember, Tomorrow is unknown. 

Good morning. Share, because it might help someone.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE ENDORSE PETER OBI, AS THE NEXT NIGERIAN PRESIDENT.

The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God,( RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye on Monday called on former Anambra State Governor, Mr Peter Obi to prepare to take over from president Mohammadu Buhari come 2023.

He made the called when members of CAN paid him a courtesy call at his residence in Lagos to discuss the issues affecting the country, church and the state of insecurity in Nigeria.

Daddy G.O as he is fondly called revealed that massive corruption is killing Nigeria gradually and must be stopped before it consumes everyone.

Having checked on the crop of politicians parading themselves as leaders, I found Mr. Peter Obi to be the most qualified to lead Nigeria to the promised land, therefore, I endorse him for president come 2023.

Pastor Adeboye who was involved in a Protest March recently against the killings of Christian before the lockdown call on the Federal executive to shorn tribal sentiment and work towards installing Mr. Obi as the next president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

  In the past, I have supported all the candidates that sort for my support, but today, I’m calling on all and sundry to rally round and support the emergence of Mr. Peter Obi of Anambra state ahead of the next general election”., he said.

  Let an honest Igbo Man with many years of wealth of experience lead Nigeria to the PROMISED LAND. 

Saying ”We have tarried here for too long, It’s time to crossover to the other side of the Jordan” he appealed.

Never frown, Rejoice in the Lord alway:

Never frown 

 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Philippians 4:4.

The apostle Paul found a key in Christ Jesus in the course of doing the work of Christ; the key is to remain in continuous joy in the Holy Spirit. What spurred him on was to apply this key daily in whatever circumstances he found himself in. When Jesus Christ appointed him He made it clear to Paul that he would suffer many things for His name's sake. The apostle was ready to do the work for Christ no matter what. To overcome every obstacle, Paul chose to rejoice evermore. This key has been committed to every Christian. It is our choice to use it, and failure to use it results in complaints, frowns, murmuring, sadness and even death. The devil's strategy is to take away our joy in Christ and we must not allow him. Any time he shows his wiles we should see it as an occasion to rejoice and we shall overcome. Let us choose to remain in the joy of the Lord which is our strength, amen. Share your thoughts here!

Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand Matt 3:2act17:30 

  Prayers point 

  Oh Lord my father have mercy on us and our country Nigeria in the name of Jesus Christ 

  lord, we pray today that love, unity family love will not cease in our minds in the name of Jesus Christ 

  we pray that as a individual none of us will miss God's kingdom, in the name of Jesus Christ 

  every decree of untimely death hovering over my life, catch fire, in the name of Jesus Christ 

  I shall not die but live, the number of my days shall be fulfilled, in the name of Jesus Christ 

  I speak life into every organ in my body and command them not to malfunction, in the name of Jesus Christ 

  every arrow of untimely death fired at me in the dream, come out and go back to your senders, in the name of Jesus Christ
