Hi there,
Last week we talked about the "Spirit of Love". And as much as we have connected with our loved ones we should also forget that there are people out there who need us to extend some of this love to them.
The weak, the poor, the distressed, the hungry, the thirsty, the homeless, the fatherless, the widows, think about it...dont they deserve to be loved as well?
I know its not easy because everyone of us is faced with a challenge or another, but love is not about how you feel per time, love itself is been able to think less of yourself in order to give someone else joy,a smile, a warm hug,anything as much as you can give and you would want for yourself.
The real proof of love, the real proof that you love someone or someone loves you is "GIVING AND FORGIVING".
If we say we love our neighbours, friends, families, colleagues at work, in school, in church, in the mosque,anywhere, in nigeria, in your community then we will give to help and forgive them when they offend us.
Holding people in your heart, not forgiving will only cause you more harm than the person you hold bitterness against.
Forgiveness elevates you, it gives you peace of mind, it opens more opportunities from God to help you, its life-changing. Also, Giving will always put you ahead in everything you do,never beneath. Its not in the volume of what you give, its the Heart in it. Its your heart that matters, if its sincere and open and real and you know God sees all your heart and thoughts, He will only reward you based on your heart or motive for giving.
Lets shock our world, lets change the lethargy, lets challenge the norm, let us prove that we love ourselves especially in our country Nigeria, lets love one another and Give to those who do not have and Forgive those who have offended us.
Do have a wonderful week, Forgive anyone you are angry with and give to someone you have never given to before.
Am so sure, your Joy has just began...
ciao

Spirit of Love
Hi There,
Its been a while, we could say, and its great to know we are still staying strong and trusting God to bring to pass our heart's desires. I have had an unusual experience in the last two weeks that has been phenomenal and has changed me and I would like to share it with us.
The fact that on a daily basis we go out and come in to rest, pursuing our dreams and plans, running towards a set goal and doing all we can to find fulfilment is very critical and crucial in our living in this world.Everyone of us have something we are pursuing right now and we want accomplished. When we finally get it, another one will prop up and we focus on it as well.
However, there is a very big tendency we forget the most important people in our lives, the people who are there and will be there even when all we are pursuing don't get accomplished, people who know us in and out and love us for who we are, people we don't have to pretend to and prove something to, people who watch our back for us and this is our FAMILY.
Our Mums, Dads, Brothers and Sisters and sometimes for some of us close friends. They are our fans, heroes who will be there for us when all is lost. Isn't that true?
The question for us is are we taking time out to tell them how much we love them and appreciate them. When was the last time you told your brother or mum or sister " I love You". whether or not they have really been there for you, they are still your family.
Telling them how much you love them goes a very long way to affect them and help them and you as well.
I know we live in an environment where a lot of hustling and bustling seems to take so much place in our lives, but we need to rearrange the priorities of our lives and put our families first,express our appreciation and love to them and reunite the Spirit of Love that is strong enough to fight off any strife in our homes.
The regular excuse for some people is the fact that the money they are working for is for the family to eat and feed on, but the real truth is as much as it is important for the family to be fed and be comfortable, the intangible resources been deposited through, words of encouragement, affection, smiles,love and other gestures will help and sustain the family in dire times and situations.
Take a time out today, give your family a phone call, send a text, visit them,pray for them if they are far away,write a letter,send an email,do something to communicate with them, tell them how much you love them, and let the Spirit of Love permeate your homes and keep the love alive.
Do have a Blessed week filled with Love, Joy and Gladness.
Ciao.
