Once upon a time, there was a king. The king liked one of his
followers very much because he was very wise and always gave very
useful advice. Therefore the king took him along wherever he went.
One day, the king was bitten by a dog, the finger was injured and the
wound was getting worse. He asked the follower if that was a bad sign.
The follower said, Good or bad, hard to say'. In the end, the finger
of the king was too bad that had to be cut. The king asked the
follower again if that was a bad sign. Again, the follower gave the
same answer, 'Good or bad, hard to say'. The king became very angry
and sent the follower to prison.
One day, the king went hunting in the jungle. He got excited when he
was on the chase of a deer. Deeper and deeper he went inside the
jungle. In the end he found himself lost in the jungle. To make thing
worse, he got captured by the native people lived inside the jungle.
They wanted to sacrifice him to their god. But when they noticed that
the king had one finger short, they released him immediately as he was
not a perfect man anymore and not suitable for sacrifice. The king
managed to get back to his palace after all. And he finally understood
the follower's wise quote, 'Good or bad, hard to say'. If he hadn't
lost one finger,he could have been killed by the native people.
He ordered to release the follower, and apologized to him. But to the
king amaze, the follower was not mad at him at all. Instead, the
follower said, 'It wasn't a bad thing that you locked me up.' Why?
Because if the king hadn't locked the follower up, he would have
brought the follower along to the jungle. If the native found that the
king was not suitable, they would have used the follower. Again, the
quote 'Good or bad, hard to say' stands.
The moral of the story:
Everything that happens in this world, there is no absolute good or
bad. Sometimes good things turned out to be bad things eventually,
while bad things become a gain.
Whatever good things that happen to you, enjoy it, but don't have to
hold too tight to it, treat it as a surprise in your life.Whatever bad
things that happen to you, don't have to feel too sad or despair, in
the end, it might not be a total bad thing after all.
If one can understand this, he or she will find life much easier.

True Friendship
True friendship isn't seen with the eyes, it is felt with the heart, when there is trust, understanding, loyalty, and sharing. True friendship is a rare feeling, but when it is found it has a profound impact on our well-being, strength, and character.
True friendship does not need elaborate gifts
or spectacular events in order to be valuable or valued.
To ensure long-lasting quality and satisfaction,
true friendship only needs a few key ingredients:
undying loyalty, unmatched understanding, unsurpassed trust, deep and soulful secrets, and endless sharing. These ingredients, mixed with personality and a sense of humor, can make a friendship last a lifetime!
This is just a thank you, my friend, for all the wonderful and colorful special ingredients you've brought to my life!

USED Vs. LOVED
It is true, sometimes, anger and love have no limit.
Must read...............
USED Vs. LOVED
While a man was polishing his new car, his 4
yr old son picked up stone and scratched lines on the side
of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand and
hit it many times; not realizing he was using a wrench. At
the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple
fractures. When the child saw his father with painful
eyes he asked, 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'
The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car
and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own
actions........sitting in front of that car he looked at the
scratches; the child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'.
The next day that man committed suicide. . .
Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a
beautiful, lovely life.....
Things are to be used and people are to be
loved, But the problem in today's world is that,
People are used and things are loved...
During this year, let's be careful to keep this thought in mind:
Things are to be used, but People are to be loved ...
Be yourself......This is the only day we HAVE.
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch
your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Kindness Pays!
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal
he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught us never to accept payment for a kindness." He said... "Then I thank you from my heart."
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor's gown he we nt in to see her. He recognized her
at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the
business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked
at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her
room.
She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her
life to pay for it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught ;
her attention on the side as She read these words.....
"Paid in full with one glass of milk." (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, GOD, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

It all about love..
There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This
romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.
Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his future didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the both of them, so they went their own ways there and then...
Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make something out of himself.
Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had
set up his own company ..
You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain
walk ing to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still
drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his girl's parents.
With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the
couple, wanting them to spot him
in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was
walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and
followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right
beside her...
Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened. They
explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with
cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you wa nt them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her again...he can take some of those back with him...
Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may escape but what's in your heart will remain forever.
The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting
right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with her
ever again.........hope you understand.
Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to
you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant nothing to you.

THE WOMEN..
When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day
An angel came by and said: “Why spend so much time on that one?”
And the Lord answered:
“Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her ?"
“She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable and she must function on all kinds of food, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands”.
The angel was impressed.
“Just two hands....impossible!“
And this is the standard model?!
“Too much work for one day....wait until tomorrow and then complete her“.
“I will not”, said the Lord. “I am so close to complete this creation, which will be the favourite of my heart”.
“She cures herself when sick and she can work 18 hours a day”.
The angel came nearer and touched the woman.
“But you have made her so soft, Lord”
“She is soft", said the Lord, “But I have also made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.“
“Can she think?" the angel asked.
The Lord answered:
“Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."
The angel touched the womans cheek....
“Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her.”
“She is not leaking....it’s a tear” the lord corrected the angel
“What’s it for?" asked the angel.
And the Lord said:
“Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”
This made a big impression on the angel; “Lord, you are genius.
You thought of everything. The woman is indeed marvellous!"
Indeed she is!
Woman has strengths that amazes man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when feeling like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, crys when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid.
She fights for what she belives in.
Stand up against injustice.
She doesn’t take “no” for an answer, when she can see a better solution. She gives herself so her family can thrive. She takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid.
Her love is unconditional.
She cries when her kids are victorious. She is happy when her friends do well.
She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.
Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies.
But she finds the strength to get on with life.
She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.
There is only one thing wrong with her
She forgets what she is worth...

RELOCATING ENEMIES
Memorise: "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways" (Job 22:28)
Read: Exodus 7:10-12
Some years ago, there was a popular native doctor in Akure, Nigeria. He was extremely ruthless and several people flocked regularly to him. But his shrine was next to the factory of one of my children. One day, this son of mine came to lay a complaint about the terror in his domain. He said each time he went around his factory, he saw mutilated bodies of children - bodies with no heads or genitals. He wanted the man to relocate. When I went to Akure, he showed me the place. I simply lifted my right hand and commanded him to be moved in Jesus' Name. My son asked me, 'Is that all?' Then I told him there are times for regular prayers and there are times for decrees. The fetish priest had built his shrine around an iroko tree. Within seven days of that decree, the iroko tree dried up. And within another seven days the man died. Today, I decree that every satanic nuisance in your life will stop now in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ. I command every satanic strong hold around you to move.
Apart from the fact that Moses' hands were special, the rod in his hands was not an ordinary one. In Exodus 7:10-12, the same rod swallowed the magicians' serpents in Egypt. Every evil force that will not allow you to reach your goal shall be swallowed today in Jesus' Name. From today's reading, it is glaring that Satan can counterfeit God's miracles. Satan has never performed a miracle, only magic. A miracle is the authentic version of a divine intervention in human affairs, while magic is the fake attempt to replicate it. So don't be amazed when people of the occult perform magic. Another lesson here is that both the forces of good and evil know which is real and which is fake. Satan fakes speaking in tongues in a bid to deceive the undiscerning, but when he comes face to face with a genuinely Spirit - filled believer, he panics because the difference is clear. Similarly, from today's reading, God's power supersedes that of Satan. And just as the rod of Moses swallowed the snakes of the Egyptian magicians, every agent of darkness fighting against you will lose their weapons to the power of the Holy Spirit inside of you. Ask in faith today. You can relocate that enemy today!
You are light. Darkness should not dwell with or around you. Command every agent of darkness living around you to relocate now.
