WORD THERAPY

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. Luke 17:17-18 The principle of thanksgiving is the secret of multiplicity- Apostle Joshua Selman N. Ten healed, just one came back to give glory, what an attitude.  Christ urged them t go. Does it surprise you that He could still ask after the other nine? That’s because he expected them to come and say thank you.  Nine were healed but one was made whole; that’s the power of thanksgiving. There are lots of lessons to learn from this Bible story.  A friend once said; don’t expect your tank to be full when you are not thankful. Oh! How I wish you understand the power of thanksgiving. If only you understand the efficacy of appreciating God, you will never let an hour pass you by without taking a stop to say thank you Jesus.  Being so blinded by what we don’t have we actually forget to see that which we have and to also thank G

  1. DON’T DEPEND ON THE GRADE “Go to school, read hard, come out with a good grade and you will secure a good job and would live the kind of life you want”… this is a common phrase sang in the ears of the young one always, my parents told me same too. But in the present day in this part of the world, it has failed, and not just that it failed, it has crashed a lot of lives especially those who held to that kind of philosophy in life. Many people have gotten the good grades but still don’t know their bearings in life. Some have gotten the good paycheck, yet are not happy with their lives. How far you go in life has nothing to do with your grades. I would like you to pause and give this a thought. Are all those unemployed today, people with low grades or people without certificates? All those living meaningful life who also have recorded great success in their lives, are they graduates of one prestigious university with good grades? The belief that schools c

Living a productive isn’t really about having a swollen bank account, or a job with good pay . It also involves living a life that even after years of your departure from the realm of men; your works will still speak in the hearts of men. In my previous posts, I said that if one must live a productive life, that person must first have a vision to live for. This means making your living meaningful. Secondly I also said that man is made or unmade by himself. This is to say that whatever decision we take guides us. Productivity is a matter of choice; it is not certificate, government or parent dependent. Its your choice to make. Another most important prerequisite for living a productive life is UNDERSTANDING YOUR SOURCE.  No one knows a product like the manufacturer. If you must move from who you are now to whom God created you be, you too must seek to understand God’s original design for you, before sin ravaged your life. Apart from God your source, you cannot live life m

I believe that the last post on this subject was really a blessing to you. Well, I would like to complete what has already been started. It has always been said that good things in life does not happen by themselves, rather they are made to happen. People make them to happen. This means that whatever good you desire to see in your life, it is in your power to make it happen.  When I was studying about this subject of being productive in life, I came across an amazing scripture that opened up an entirely new portal of understanding to me. Deut 30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. After going through this scripture over and over again, it dawned on me that another important factor that would lead a man to living a productive life is DECISION-BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS IN HIS LIFE. Apart from having a vision, we have

Should I say I missed my page or my wonderful readers? Well I missed both. February was really a busy month for me; I did a lot of travelling so I couldn’t just settle down to write. Never the less I am here again. *Smiling* Recently I was travelling to the western part of my country, Ibadan precisely, and a sign post caught my attention and this drove me into some hours of deep thoughts. The write up on it was an invitation to a place where you can actually be given rings for success and other things like money e.t.c. firstly I thought within myself, Do I actually need a ring to be successful in life? Is a ring a basic requirement to live a productive life? Is any man responsible for my success? These and so many other questions ran through my mind. While I was thinking about this matter, I remembered that James Allen once said “man is made and unmade by himself”. This cleared the way for answers to flow in at that minute. I have come to understand that no man was creat

Myles Munroe my favorite author once shared a wonderful thought in one of his work that holds a great deal of life lesson. He said, “A sculptor works in a very interesting way, and it would be great foolishness to argue with an artist until he is finished. He said; don’t discuss anything with a painter or a sculptor until his work is completed. An artist can be very rude if you disturb him before he has accomplished what he intends to do, because he sees differently that those who are not artists. An artist can walk by the stone in your front yard and see a figure in it. He may stop by your house and beg you for a stone you have walked past many times without noticing. The dogs may have been doing stuff on it. You may even have been planning to get rid of it because it’s a nuisance. But the artist walks into your yard and sees something beautiful in that stone beyond what you can imagine. Two months later when the artist invites you to his workshop he says, “do you see that? D

I just concluded a little research I started about two months ago, and I am really shocked at the findings.  By the Grace of God, I have been opportune to travel to different parts of my country and this gave me the opportunity to learn little about different culture.  I have also been opportune to meet great minds who I have in one way or the other, shared from their experience and knowledge.  Meeting these persons, have also shaped my understanding about certain important issues of life. A lot of Christians act in a way that is questionable and if such behavior or action brings about a negative result, God takes the blame. Most times, when we hear of the death of someone, many are quick to asking God why. A lot of persons even go ahead to blame God, some blame the old people in their villages; some link it to some sort of witchcraft manipulation.  There are a lot of cases I been studying for a while now, but I would love to share very few with you my wonderful readers, to k

My dear readers, i believe you all have started the weekend in a grand style. Me too! It will interest you to know that among several other things, the people you associate with can greatly determine the extent to which you go in life. The persons you call friends can greatly determine your take in life. I know you must have heard “ show me your friends and I will tell you who you are”. This is past now, I would rather choose to say, “show me your friends and I will tell you where you are going to in life”. A minister of the gospel here in Nigeria once said, who you follow determines what follows you and the company you keep determines what accompanies you in life. No man traveling to Lagos would board a bus with as friend going to Abuja, because both of them are headed to different directions. Friends! If you have greatness in view, then you must separate from any one who isn’t headed to the same direction with you.  Don’t wait until you drown before you know that Jonah does not

My dear, I believe that you enjoyed the last letter I wrote to you and you have also seen how important that letter is to your future. Well, just like I told you the last time I wrote to you, I am here to complete what I started. Among many other things, I would love to remind you that you should not be confused when you see your opposite sex, behaving in differently in a relationship. Lack of understanding of the difference between a girl and a boy, makes a lot of your friends endanger their lives.  You should be able to know what the guy wants from you and you the guy should know what the girl wants from you. God created you all differently and reasons for doing this is best known to him. But I believe that God love variety and as such decided to create us all differently instead of a robot. Lifestyle is another practical reason why a lot of your friends fall in love today and fall out tomorrow. Please I would love you to learn early that you can do things that will attra

My young boy and girl, you should make it a market of your time to discover the origin of love and   friendship, because it is only a mad man who eats without seeing the face of what he or she is eating. Love and friendship comes from the most high God. He is the inventor. His intention for creating love and friendship is to help mankind. God invented love when he realized that men cannot be at peace without his love being with them. My young boy and girl, what you feel for the opposite sex is not love because love is far bigger than mere feelings. At this sensitive point in your life, think of hoe to build stronger relationship not how to make love; LOVE is created through the act of relationship. Love is developed through friendship. My little girl, permit me to also say that sex is not a form of payment for someone loving you or doing something for you. There are many of your pseudo friends whose mindset and thought is to have sex with someone that they helped throug

Good morning my readers, I believe that you have been enjoying your week. Here’s a short story for you. This will cause more than a little change in someone’s life. As you read, share and comment. “A few years ago our friend Terrilynn went through a terrible tragedy when her twenty-two-year-old son was murdered at college. One of the young men who was involved in the murder was convicted and about to be sentenced. Just before the sentencing date, Terrilynn encountered the truth. Despite her grief, she came to a conviction: “if I had only one month to live, I would want to forgive everyone, including my son’s murderer.” When the time came for the ruling, the judge asked Terrilynn if she wanted to say anything to the man who was involved in her son’s murder. She stood up in the court room and read aloud the most beautiful letter of forgiveness. She looked at the young man who took her son’s life and said, “I choose to forgive you for my own healing because I see Jesus standing nex

Firstly I want to say a very big thank you to all my wonderful readers, those who sent me mails to encourage my works and all those who call. You all have been wonderful and I must say that you inspire me too.   I would love to share a story with us, it got me thinking and also changed something in my life so I know it’s worth sharing. “I had an experience recently that made me feel completely invisible. I flew to Nashville to surprise my son Josh at his college. When I arrived, I made my way with my printed reservation to the rental car clerk. I handed over the reservation, and the clerk said, “Oh, we are sorry, but we gave away your car”. What do you mean you gave away my car?” I replied, “I have a reservation!”  He informed me that it was CMA (Country Music Awards) week, and they were really busy with lots of important people coming through. They didn’t have any cars left, but I would get the next car that came in. he went on to say “you just picked a really wrong time to com

Here’s the story of two guys. They met in high school. They connected with each other, as they later joked, because they were both misfits. Nin the gym class the two overweight boys were forced to run track and that disastrous experience likely cemented their early friendship. They both graduated high schools in the late sixties and launched themselves into…. Failure. One found himself being fired from series of jobs. The other dreamed of going to medical school and failed to get admitted twice. One was especially artistic; the other was seriously interested in helping people. Different, but similar in spirit, they began to explore a common dream. The thing was, they both loved food.  Together they took a course in food preparation, a correspondence course that cost them each a total of five dollars. Not long after that, they joined forces to open their first shop in a run-down garage. In time the little shop became very popular in their home town, and soon it was the talk of thei

A wealthy business man from a town called Kutuba by name Ralph Tom was on his way to the big city of Zankuta for an important meeting when his car breaks down outside a small village called Zion. Ralph anxiously walks into the village and meets a man called Parlfix coming out of Sunday church. Parlfix listens to his predicament and tells him that they will help him any way they can, but he calmly explains that it’s really hard to get anything done on a Sunday in Zion. Ralph is frustrated and annoyed when he finds that the gas station is closed on Sunday and he can’t get his car repaired. He can’t stand Zion and wants to get on to his important business, yet he’s stuck there. Irritated, he refuses to eat Sunday dinner with Parlfix and his family. He refuses to sit in the front porch and relax. Finally he loses it completely and screams out, “Everybody in Zion is living in another world!” (This was true). After giving up hope of his car being repaired, he resigns himself to the fr
