The Unsung Hero: This moved me to tears

So, I watched this video, this is an example of someone that served, in reference to my post

on SERVICE yesterday.
Watch this video and be blessed, he was not a famous person but he served in his own little way.
He is called the "unsung hero"

SERVICE

Okay, today's message was on the power of being changed through serving. The preacher said we don't have to be famous to serve others, we don't need to be rich to serve others, we don't need to have everything going for us and he cited Mark 10 vs 42-45.
This bible verse in summary said to be great you must serve, you must put aside your pride and serve others be it in your own capacity.
You don't have to be in the limelight to serve others, you can even influence others by advising them, by being a reliable and responsible person. They might not be your friend anyways serve them, your reward will show up later.
Humans can be selfish we think of only ourselves, chop alone, me , myself and I.  Oh it is all about me who cares, I don't need to give her any money, I don't need to be kind to her because I know what I went through to get there.

I don't need to share this money, it is all mine

Don't be like this woman in the picture above, you keep hoarding it and one day you see it is all gone.
That is a myopic mentality, we need to shake it off, if not, because of others I don't think we will where we would have been because they chose to serve.
He also mentioned four ways we can serve:

1. Serve God: Without Him, you wont be alive , He is your all in all
2. Serve your family: Oh my parents don't treat me well, serve them there are many people who would love to have those parents you are neglecting
3. Serve the world: Your friends, boss at work, people around you, your co-workers, the community at large.
4. Serve the church: Join a group in your own little way and contribute

Then when you serve you become great, greatness does not connote riches, fame, wealth, yes they are the side attractions but the greatest of all is the inner peace and happiness within you.
There is this satisfaction you derive when you serve others, you feel fulfilled.
Reach out to that depressed soul, that lost girl, that battered child, be a source of impact to others and good will come to you.
I hope you have been blessed, love you all and have a great week ahead of you.

What are you doing during your waiting period

I was reading the books of Job this morning and I got to know that Job was a perfect man, he was the most righteous man who eschewed evil. He was also the greatest man of his time, he had so many possessions. Just imagine Aliko Dangote or Bill Gates of our time, he had people at his beck and call, he had numerous servants, estates, livestock e.t.c.
He could get anything he wanted at the snap of his fingers because he had everything money could buy, am sure he could even buy slaves if he wanted.
He also had children who had their own apartments and went there to feast during vacation. Imagine travelling to the United States on a week's trip or going to Dubai to cruise around because the world was at your feet. He even offered burnt offerings to God or even donated to charity in case his children had sinned unknowingly or knowingly so God could forgive their trespasses.
And suddenly something tragic happened which altered the course of his life, he lost everything from the estates, livestock to his children, e.t.c.

WHY ME LORD
 

He became penniless and he kept questioning himself, "why me",
God who I have wronged,
Did my business partners connived together to deceive me.
Did I not serve God well
Did I not give to the poor
Did my wife wrong God
Did my children commit sins
Was I not faithful to God enough.
So many endless questions we ask ourselves when evil befall us
And because of that, he lost hope in himself, you can imagine someone who gave hope to the hopeless now becoming hopeless himself, he did not know how to forge ahead of life, he was confused, embittered, frustrated. And in that process he started cursing the day he was born, he became depressed. Even his friends tried to console him, but they did not succeed.

How to use a treadmill

So I watched this video on how to use a treadmill, if you are novice, you can watch it and learn the steps involved.
Treadmill is used to burn fat and also strengthen your cardiovascular muscles. It is a very good machine for those who are new to exercise.

Friendship

FRIENDSHIP: FRIENDS SAILING ON THE SAME SHIP NO MATTER THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE.
Friendship means to be in mutual agreement with someone. Friendship is a choice that can either make you or mar you.
An adage says ''show me your friend and I will show you who you are''

There are friends and there are friends. Friends come in variety, those who will be there for you, those who want you for what you have.e.t.c.
This story below is a good example of a true friend.
A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.
The two survivors who have been good friends, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. 

However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man’s parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. 

The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. 

The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island.He considered the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, “Why are you leaving your companion on the island?”

What to do when Joy does not come in the morning

So I stumbled on this post from this site www.prayingwoman.com and i decided to share it with you guys.

After a long hard or stressful day you determine that the most appropriate solution is to retire for the night or go to sleep. “Let’s get this day over with”; after all, who doesn’t feel better after a nice long nap or a successful night’s sleep? In most cases this is true. But, what does one do when you don’t feel better after snoozing for eight hours? What does one do when he/she goes to bed upset, hurt or bothered, catches an attitude with everyone in their dreams, and STILL wakes up with no change of heart?

Secular logic may insist that one should feel better after a good night’s sleep, explained by physiological reasons. During sleep, our bodies complete all functions needed for memory consolidation and release of hormones, so that we wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. 

The medical world has everyone convinced that sleep plays a major role in our everyday lives, our health and social relationships; I concur. We can all relate to feeling groggy after the lack of sleep, or some may attest to “not being a morning person”. All of this is related to the quality and quantity of sleep we are getting each night.

Biblical logic states “weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Psalms 30:5). As a Christian, I have declared this many times over my own problems and those whom I have helped. But what happens when morning comes, and joy is nowhere to be found? Biblical teachings tell us that God’s ways are not like our ways. His thoughts are not like our thoughts and his timing does not translate into the time guidelines of this world. Morning to God does not mean 12:01 a.m. as chronological time defines, nor does it mean daylight which is the commonly accepted definition of morning. In the Bible, morning refers to the time after physical and spiritual darkness in one’s life.Spiritual darkness can last days, weeks, even years which, in turn, means morning can be offset by a day, a week and even years. The Bible does not advise when morning comes but it does declare that when it comes, joy will be its companion. When you are in the midst of your darkness, what can you do? S.L.E.E.P, continue to sleep through the darkness and when it’s morning time, time for your blessing, time for your joy… Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior will awaken you. Stay blessed!

How to make puff puff

So, I made puff puff during the weekend and I  want to show you guys the recipe and the method.
It is so easy to do, you dont have to go to a catering school to learn.
Easy peasy right.

Ingredient
1 teaspoon of dry yeast
1½ teaspoon of sugar
1 cup of flour
A pinch of salt
 A cup of water
Vegetable oil
These are the quantity of  ingredients I used to make the puff puff  but you can double the amount depending on the quantity of people you want to cater for.

Method

• Add the yeast to the cup of water and allow to dissolve by stirring
• Add the sugar to the dissolved yeast and stir
• Also add a pinch of salt and stir
• Cover the mixture for some few minutes using aluminum foil or any substitute and allow to rise for some minutes
• Then add the yeast after it has risen to the flour and stir
• Cover the flour with aluminum foil and allow to rise for 45 minutes
• The batter would have doubled in size and there will be no air bubbles
• Then it is ready for frying, it must be a little thicker

The batter should look like this, so it is ready for frying.

• Scoop some batter into the oil with your hand by pressing the batter to come out from between your thumb and index finger.
• Put in more scoops of the batter, as much as the space in the frying pot will allow without overcrowding.
• Once the underside of the puff puff has turned golden brown, flip the ball so that the topside will be fried as well
• Enjoy your puff puff

  You can also watch the video above on how to make it
