PRAY OFTEN

What is (prayer) but total submission to God! Lifting our hearts and minds to God in total trust is prayer. Praising Him for His kindness, seeking His will and fulfilling it is prayer. Doing good for His Glory is prayer and looking upon every rejoicing and every suffering as coming from Him is prayer.

CONQUER YOUR ANGER

It has been rightly said that anger is one letter short of danger. In fact anger can rush you to insanity and insanity can push you into danger.
One moment of anger can darken the rest of your life. So ferocious is its sting, it can sink you in destruction!
It can distance you from people and make you commit offences against them.
It can make you miss your chances of success and erase your fences against bitterness.

NB: If you are a man of anger, only bitterness can linger around you. Hence, control anger, conquer it and you will never regret it!

GIVE AND FORGIVE

A giving hand and a forgiving heart can never suffer want. They are there only to prosper. And that is why the happiest and the closest to God are believed to be those who have a hand to give and a heart to forgive.
Hence enjoy giving a helping hand, forgiving an erring mind, possessing a sharing kindness and dispossessing a refusing selfishness.

Extend support to the needy, lend help to the hungry, spend time with the lonely, and bring peace to the unhappy.

NB: When in God's name you divided what you have among the needy, you'll always find the remainder greater than the dividend. That is the wonder of His arithmetic!

DO WHAT YOU SAY

Be open - minded and large - hearted. Let your thoughts be God-centred and value based. Match your deeds with your words. Let not what you do contradict what you say.

Life is not worth living if it is a glitter of lights in public, but a gutter of stench in private.
The sea of humanity is infested with 'crocodiles' who speak about justice but don't abide by it, who preach love but make no effort to reach it, who hear God's word but don't adhere to it, who revere laws but don't fear them, who respet values but don't reflect them. Never be such a dangerous, venomous crodile!

Let what you seek tally with what you speak. Only then will you feel accepted.
Let what you do match what you say. Only then will you feel elated.
Let where you reach correspond with what you preach. Only then will you feel regarded.

NB: It is not where you live that matters. What does matter is how you live. Nor is it what you believe that matters, but how you live your beliefs that matters.
