One of the things we need to learn as humans, is NEVER to speak bad of people who have helped us before, because we are no longer cool with them. I see it all the time, and it is sad. Some of us will even go ahead to spill some secret things we know about them, forgetting how they helped us in the past. Very bad attitude!
ReplyDeleteNo matter how 'uncool' you are with someone right now, remember what y'all shared in past, remember how they came through for you, remember the good times, and let that guide you in respecting them enough to not wash dirty linens in public.
Una Gud Morning....#ALiSpeaks
Well said, bro. Greetings π
DeleteThat's very bad. Even some folks that dated or were married talk bad of their exes. How they suddenly "un feel" all they felt for themselves before is not cool at all.

DeleteYour Tongue Is The Compass!!
ReplyDeleteJames 3:2.
Excerpts!!
"As revealed in our opening verse, Christian perfection or maturity is expressed primarily in your communication. If you want to go in the right direction in life, your tongue is the compass. If you offend in words, you’re sunk; but if your communication is wholesome, your life will be great. Your speech controls you."
"No matter what’s happening around you, keep the Word on your lips. The Bible says, “When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up…” (Job 22:29). Again, the emphasis is on what you say. When things are rough and tough, you’re not to wait to be lifted; you have a lifting power; it’s in your mouth."
"What is it that you want? It’s all in your mouth. That’s the compass with which you steer your life aright, in the direction of God’s perfect will."
Prayer!!
I have a wholesome tongue; my words are sculpted in line with God's perfect will and direction for my life. I walk in divine health, prosperity, victory, success and financial abundance, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

DeleteRESTITUTION
ReplyDeleteNumbers 5:6-7, Luke 19:8, Exo 22:2-3,5-6,10-15
This is the act of giving back something that has been lost or stolen.
Back in the days when you were still in secondary or primary school, the quote lost but found is very popular among students. You happen to find a lost pen, textbook calculator etc, after declaring it lost yet no one came forth to pick it up, you then decide to start using it.
U borrow money from a friend, bank, app, colleague, even your sibling or spouse etc. you refuse to pay, even when you have the money to clear up your debts this s a sinful practice before God which will lead you to hell.
Beloved abstain from all forms of sin, God has not lowered his standard nor has he modernised his principles, he is still the same God yesterday, today and forever.
That sin you consider nothing is a big issue in his sight, even if you borrow plate from your neighbor or friend, for the fact you borrowed it, you must return it, even if it is matches, maggi cube etc, return it.
Honey please borrow me 5k i will pay you back by next week, 2yrs later you have still not payed back, and you call it nothing. You must restitute or in the area where you don't have the means or the person is no longer within your reach, kindly go to God in prayer and ask for forgiveness, in a case whereby you have the money to pay back but the person cannot be located, please take that same amount and sow it as a seed before God.
Restitution is a good Christian practice, don't be ashamed of it, return that which you have taken by crook or honest means if not you are at the risk of hell
Some spouse tamper with each other's money without permission or prior information, this is also a sin. Always inform your husband or wife that you took so so so amout of money from his pocket or her bag. You are not supposed to lie or be deceptive about it.
Be honest in all your dealings child of God. Live for Jesus, desire to do right always.
JESUS LOVES YOU, COME TO JESUS TODAY.
ROM: 10-10
Say this prayer of salvation
Dear lord jesus, I'm sorry for all my sins, please come into my life, i believe you died on the cross of calvary for me, and on the 3rd day you rose again, please come and be my lord and personal saviour. Please Wash away my sins and bring me into your loving light. Amen

DeleteSPIRITUAL GROWTH TAKES TIME
ReplyDeleteIf it dies, it produces many seeds.' John 12:24 NIV
God takes two days to grow a mushroom but sixty years to grow an oak tree. So, would you like to be a mushroom or an oak tree? Spiritual growth takes time.
Do you ask, 'Why is it taking me so long to improve? I am still struggling with many of my weaknesses.' Why? Because spiritual growth, like natural growth, takes some time. The best fruit ripens gradually. Jesus said, 'Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds' (John 12:24 NIV). When Jesus says, 'Very truly,' he means, 'Now understand this! Listen! This is very important.' The point Jesus stresses here is that just like a grain of wheat has to die to produce fruit, so we also must die to ourselves to produce spiritual growth. And dying to our own self-absorption takes a while. Our inclination is to unearth the seed periodically to monitor its progress instead of trusting God to perform his work in our lives.
Christ will produce fruit in our lives if we stay in him. Jesus said, 'Abide in me' (John 15:4 KJV). The word 'abide' means 'to live in'. Abiding in Christ means staying in contact with him, depending on him, living for him and trusting him to finish his work in our lives in his perfect timing. Wait for God's promised harvest and, in the meantime, delight in his presence in your life. God is happy with you at every phase of your spiritual growth. He is not waiting until you're perfect to begin loving you. He will never love you one drop more than he already does.

All of you above should rest.
None of you have good character. None.
You only display good character on this blog to trap someone's innocent son. When he wed you, you will show the tiger and lion in you. Pretenders.
Venita showed the intelligent side, the no nonsense, the crying, the screaming, the winning of task, the humble side and all. Unlike all of you that pretend to be good.

ReplyDeleteEnergy transfers - what are these energies?
"Energy transfers" refer to the movement or exchange of various forms of energy between individuals, objects, or environments. In a broader sense, it can include emotional, psychological, spiritual, or even physical energies. Instances of energy transfers:
1.) Emotional Energy:
When you spend time with a cheerful friend and start feeling happier, that's an emotional energy transfer.
Conversely, if you're around someone constantly angry, you might absorb and feel their negative emotional energy.
2.) Physical Energy:
During exercise or sports, your physical energy can transfer to others in a motivating or inspiring way, encouraging them to push their limits.
When you're around someone exhausted or drained, you might feel their low physical energy, which can affect your own energy levels.
3.) Spiritual Energy:
Engaging in a spiritual practice or being in the presence of a spiritually uplifting individual can transfer a sense of peace, clarity, or purpose, positively affecting your spiritual energy.
On the other hand, being around someone engaged in negative spiritual practices or beliefs might transfer a sense of disquiet or unease.
4.) Intellectual Energy:
Engaging in a stimulating conversation or attending an enlightening lecture can transfer intellectual energy, sparking new ideas and stimulating mental growth.
Conversely, being in a situation where intellectual discourse is stifled can drain your intellectual energy.
5.) Environmental Energy:
The ambiance of a place, its aesthetics, and the overall atmosphere can transfer a particular energy—calm, vibrant, chaotic—which can influence your mood and well-being.
Nature walks or spending time in serene environments can transfer a sense of tranquility and rejuvenation.
Being mindful of these energy transfers can help you choose the environments, people, and activities that align with the energies you want to experience in your life. It's about being aware of how various energies impact you and consciously choosing what you surround yourself with.

ReplyDeleteUpdate on the teacher that took my son's phone battery and replaced it with panduku .
I went there at closing hour, straight to the staff room to confront the teacher. She denied it. I saw a small phone on her table and I told her to open it cos I put a mark on my son's battery. She said she was not the owner of the phone. I just grabbed the phone and opened it, Lo and behold the mark I put using a needle to write my son's initials was there. I matched to the principal's office to report. The man was begging me. He also said I should ensure that my son doesn't bring any contraband to school again,that his disobedience caused everything that is happening now. I now asked him "so that was why your staff stole? You people are now Nigerian police that steal from citizens when they commit an offence? Police will arrest someone and extort money from the person, other times they steal money, phones and other valuables from offenders, o ma se o"
After all the teachers gathered to beg, I told them to produce the owner of the small phone if not I am taking their case to the public , they said it was for the same teacher. She too was begging. I took the battery, returned her rubbish to her and left.
Such a disgrace to the school. I hope they suspended her. Teacher isonu.
DeleteCan you imagine?Someone that should know and do better.One of the bad eggs giving others a bad name.I'm glad you took it up and eventually resolved it.
DeleteShe really messed up.
DeleteSee disgrace on top battery of how much?
She thought your boy will not notice, unknown to her that you are the one that will charge it.
I'm even thinking maybe she borrowed the battery and forgot to return it to your son's phone, that battery is too cheap for a teacher to disgrace herself like that. Haba!
So because her phone is not what you gave your son,is now rubbish.
DeleteWhy did you buy an Android phone for a boy of 10, until they teach him how to watch porn ypur eyes will open. If it is for homework,you can give him yours while you monitor him. I'm sure you're too busy for that.
Now his teachers phone is rubbish. Is your type that belittle teachers cos u feel you're better.
Unnecessary drama. Teacher was wrong but madam train your child to do better. Why is he already breaking rules at such a young age? You and your son have a bigger issue with to be concerned about.
DeleteIn my child's school,the phone will be confiscated and won't be returned back to the parent,if you like make noise. Encouraging your kid to break law by bringing contraband to school is an example of bad parenting. The teacher too get her own for body
DeleteYou’re a bad parent! I repeat a bad parent and an enabler! Why’s your 10yr old son with a phone? And why’s he disobeying school rules by taking it to school? Train your child well because you’ve a problem child ahead
DeleteIt's either some anons did not follow this story from yesterday or they did not understand.
DeleteHer son is 12yrs old now. She got him an Android phone when he was 10 but collected it from him and gave him a small phone this year at 12.
The phone is not Android but a small touchlight phone
The teacher removed her son's new battery and put her own fake battery in the boy's phone, small phone battery of 1500.
She called the teacher's battery rubbish because it was fake.
In my own view, the school should have confiscated the phone, it would have been better than what the teacher did. She messed up.
Good morning all SDK blog family. To all the good prayers, I say Amen!

ReplyDeleteN100 and N1000 were best friends. One day they had an accident and both died. On reaching paradise entrance, Angel allowed N100 to enter freely. So N 1000 asked. My Lord, am I not 10 times more valuable than him? How can he enter while I'm outside? Angel answered. N100 & his siblings N50, N20, N10 always come to Church and even during Bible studies and prayer meetings, including midweek services but you are always present in parties, restaurants & shopping centre, so disappear, I don't want to see you.
Pls let's help N1000 to enter Heaven....take him to Church

DeleteMy supposed friend said he would've raped me.
ReplyDeleteI had done a job for his boss,we knew each other,he asked me out,I said no. He has offered a lot of things I declined. Fast forward to last month he bought items from me and said he didn't have cash on him and his card is at home,his house is on my street,that evening I went for prayer meeting in church on my way back hr called and called I told him I was on my way,well I got to his gate and had this eerie feeling,I decided to go home straight and ask my security to come with me,I went home,asked my security to follow me,he did. We got to ogbeni's house he was happy to see me till he looked again and saw my security,someone that his gen was on said he hasn't charged his phone and can't do transfer that my security should go I will come back later. People of God I turned back with my security and left,days ago he called me and in the midst of the conversation he blurted what I planned for you that night I would've raped you but you escaped.
God punish Oga
I told him he will die the death of fools
It will never be well with him
Idiot thunder fire you there
Ozu
Hope he later paid your money. Bastard pikin! Let him keep raping, the one that will kill him is on the way
DeleteAnd he wasn't even afraid to tell you that rubbish. Rapist oshi.
DeleteCollect your money and cut him off, he's evil.
DeleteSuch a waste of his mom's nine months. And to think the day they gave birth to him they told his parent congratulations
DeleteAdvice for ladies:Whenever a guy asks you out and you turn him down. Sever all communication or contact. Don't bother being his friend.
Thank God for u..
DeleteHe will have succeeded and society will still blame u for his actions
He's Evil. Stay away from him!
DeleteHe's a God forbid something.π₯΄
Some people are plain evil. I went to buy indomie from my neighbours shop and she opened mouth tell me one of our neighbor always come to her chop to form ,that she'll be buying Milo ,buy sardine and bread atimes that she'll buy peak milk sef, that she should continue with eating away her destiny, I asked if she's buying on credit,and she said no she pays o. So what exactly is the problem? Let's be careful what we buy in Street o, wonder why she stocked up her shop when she be getting jealous of people patronising her. I've decided just to be buying only detergent from her, who knows who she's going to tell that I came to oppress her by buying indomie and egg?
ReplyDeletesee wahala ohπ±
DeleteReal wahala
DeleteI avoid buying certain things from my street, I buy from the market
So she doesn't want people to buy her goods or what? Nawaa.
DeleteWitchcraftπ
DeleteCan you imagine,so she's jealous that she's buying all these things and she's even buying from her. This one na winch.
DeleteJealousy..
DeleteThis is why I am always leary of people I don't know too well because you don't know what is going on in their heads. You don't know how evil some can be. You would be living your life not knowing someone is vexing on your behalf.
DeleteI remember the day someone blurted out to me while looking upset that I am always eating. I was shook ! Meanwhile, back then, I hardly cook in the morning. No appetite that early but getting close to afternoon time I get hungry so I buy snacks then cook when I get home in the evening. I did not know this person was already getting angry on my behalf and seething on top of my money.
You tried, game mistress. I would stop buying from her if I were you. You think you are safe because you buy detergents? I hope she doesn't complain to another customer about how you guys don't eat but would rather look polished and neat "from the outside".
People need to mind the business that pays them.
There was this cold room where I buy my frozen foods. I have been going there for close to six months so I was already a customer. That particular day, I showed up again and when I greeted the woman, "Good evening", Instead of her usual reply, "Good evening to you too" . She turned to me and asked, "how is your partner and your children?" In my mind, I thought to myself, "when did I discuss my private life with this woman?" I smiled and that was the day I stopped buying things from her.
Nosiness will make you lose your customers. Be professional!
She's a horrible person.
DeleteGive her her distance.π
Thank you Jesus for another day π

So I did something few days ago. I posted dancing emojis on my status update,out of the 50+ viewers,just a handful sent celebration wishes to show that they were rejoicing with me I need whatever I was celebrating. Then after wks,I posted crying emojis on my update,before I'd drop phone, messages started coming in...babe wetin happen,babe ogini etc π π π I now came to conclusion that people like hearing bad news.
Bvs have a great day ahead ❤️
E go surely be ✌️
That's human being for you
DeleteNo be today nah. Some people like hearing bad news than good news
DeleteSuch is lifeπ
DeleteHmmmmmmm, that is to tell you people don't like celebrating with others,but are quick to show fake sympathy
DeleteThe day I got an award for something huge, my friend didn't congratulate me and he was instantly moody. He stylishly belittled the plaque I got. Though he acted like he was miffed with the organisers who gave me just a plaque and nothing else but I knew he was indirectly throwing jabs at me and trying to tell me the plaque had no value and that was the only thing given ro me so I needed to stop being ecstatic. He was quiet till we went out separate ways and when I spoke to me, he only gave one liner responses. He was someone who always showed concern when I was beat down so when I was up I thought he would be happy for me.
DeleteLike they say, misery likes company. When you rejoice you probably make them feel inadequate and alone in the travails of life but when you seem sad they can relate so in their eyes they are trying to pacify their group member.
Good morning one big blogfam. I celebrate Me , myself and I today. May God bless our hustle and meet our heart desires before the end of this week. Amen

ReplyDeleteGood morning beautiful women on this blog, I crush on us all e no easy
ReplyDeleteThe words: SPEAK AND TALK.
ReplyDeleteAny differences?
The verbs speak and talk both generally mean ‘say words’, that is, 'say something'.
But, there are some small differences in how they are used.
Compareπ
I need to speak to you.
And
I need to talk to you.
Speak is more formal than talk.
I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU
You use "I need to SPEAK to you" in a variety of situations.
It is possible that:
– the speaker does not know you very well.
– this is in a formal setting, such as work.
– what the person has to say is important/serious.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU
"I need to TALK to you" is informal.
It is possible that:
– the speaker is your friend.
– the speaker is someone you don’t know very well, but what they have to say is informal.
We usually use 'speak' for more formal presentations and lectures, and 'talk' for more informal ones.
For example π
1 Dr Graham Foster will speak about the history of the region.
2 Kyle is going to talk us through the benefits of the software and then Liz will talk about the marketing plan.
When we refer to languages, we use 'speak'.
For example:
1 How many languages do you speak?
πNot: How many languages do you talk?
2 I wish I could speak Italian.
πNot: I wish I could talk Italian.
'Speak' usually only focuses on the person who is producing the words.
For example:
He spoke about the importance of taking exercise and having a good diet.
'Talk' focuses on a speaker and at least one listener, and can mean ‘have a conversation’.
For example:
I hope I can meet you to talk about my plans for the company.
Not: I hope I can meet you to speak about my plans …
Compare 1 & 2 below:
He always looks down when he is speaking.
&
I was talking to Maria yesterday.
πHe always looks down when he is speaking.
The focus in the sentence above is on the use of voice to produce words. Thus, 'speak' focuses only on the person who is producing the words.
πI was talking to Maria yesterday.
The focus here is on the use of words as part of a conversation with someone else.
Finally, we use SPEAK on the telephone:
A: Is Rita there?
B: Who’s SPEAKING?
Not: Who’s talking?
A: Hello! Can I SPEAK to Laura, please?
B: Sorry, you can't SPEAK to her at the moment. She's in a meeting.
………
This lesson was abstracted and edited only slightly.
I got it from this source: π

I'm rooting for you ✌️
