GOD'S TEMPLE

-




Our body is the temple of God. God is the Sole Owner of it. God gave it us to use for His glory.


What you do with your body matters a lot. There are people who don't see anything wrong in using their bodies to fulfil d devil's desire: indecent dressing, prostitution, adultery, fornication even over or under-eating. This should not be.


When some are scolded for using their bodies in this manner,  they tell you-"it is my body, i can do whatever I like with it". This is wrong. That your so called body can function only because you can breath, and the breath you breathe is not your own. If the Owner of the breath takes it, nothing is left.

Invariably, God owns our body and we should do things that will please Him with it. Glorify Him with it. Never forget,  your body is the temple of THE LIVING GOD.

RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BOUNDARIES: RESPECT THEM OR LOOSE THEM.

 In life, some people come into your life for a reason. Don't use them for what they are not meant for, or else you will loose them forever. Some come as a beacon of light to help you find your way. If you use them as a stool instead, you will shorten the time they are suppose to be in your life and you will eventually loose them. And  Loosing them will affect your life journey. It will affect your destiny.  When people enter into your life, first things first.  📌Know who they are.  📌Two, know the reason why they are there.  📌Three, define your relationship with them.  📌Four, stay within the definition of that relationship. Don't cross beyond the boundary.  For example, "What is this person in my life for?"  "What is the duration of their stay (forever or a time)?" and  "How can I maximize (not exploit) their stay in my life?"  In ALL relationships, there are boundaries. But you can only define the boundaries if the relationship...

 Emotional intelligence is very powerful and essential, yet undervalued in our society and among people. The importance of emotional intelligence in all interpersonal relationships cannot be over emphasized. Let's take a look at different works of life and the importance of emotional intelligence to thrive in them.  🔑 1. Workplace: A lack of emotional intelligent skills result in workplace conflicts and misunderstanding. This dynamic often stems from an inability to recognize or comprehend emotions. It is one of the most sought-after interpersonal skill in the work place. Note: A popularly cited survey from 2011 showed that 71% of employers valued emotional intelligence in an employee over IQ. In fact, 59% of employers would not hire someone if they had a high IQ but low EI.   🔑 2. Education: The importance of Emotional intelligence (EI) in education is seen in the ability to identify, name and manage emotions. This provides the learner with foundation for problem-solvi...

WHO ARE YOU RAISING?

Some time ago, I saw the video of a little girl of about 16 months old who took hold of a wallet full of money. She brought out 2 notes from it, tuck them in front of her dress (breast area) and closed the wallet back. She then stylishly put it back where she took it from.  I was shocked!  It is easy to deduce from that video that the child must have seen an adult do such at one time or the other. So, she is copying that adult (most likely a female who can steal and hide money in her bra). Who can she be mimicking? Giving the most probable assumption... Maybe her mother, how she secretly takes the father's money and tuck into her bra. She sees it done in her presence, and she does likewise.  Even if it isn't the mum she copied. The fact is that she saw something bad and she did likewise. That goes to tell you that every adult should be careful of the things they do in the presence these  little ones.  The question is: what kind of things do you do in the presenc...
