*THE DEAD EVANGELIST IN CHOIR ROBE!* Brother Clifford made it a duty upon himself that come sunshine and rain, he will be at the Train Station distributing Gospel Tracts to passengers as they board or leave the train! This he did faithfully for several years! One day at the church service after a rendition by the choir members in church, the choir was appreciated, praised and given a standing ovation! Brother Clifford, instead of being happy for them was very sad! He thought his soul winning efforts was not being acknowledged, rewarded or recognised by the church members and ministers! He also noticed that nobody from the station has met him to say thank you for what he has been faithfully doing over the years! Brother Clifford decided to abandon the trips to the Train Station! Instead he joined the choir and started singing with them! To his surprise he was warmly welcomed! He discovered also that very soon he was singing and receiving standing ovations. He concluded in his mind h...

A SHORT STORY ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Copied! There was an aged artist who lived in a small village. The man used to design beautiful artistic works to be sold at an attractive price. One day, a poor man among the villagers challenged the old man saying: "You earn a lot of money from your handiwork but why don't you assist poor people in the village? Can’t you see that the butcher is not as rich as you are, but he still shares free meat to the poor people in the village? Also, look at the village baker. He is a poor man with a large family. Yet he gives the poor people free loaves of bread". The artist did not respond angrily to the accusations. He only smiled. The poor man was confused about the reaction of the artist so he left him and went out spreading rumors that the artist was so rich, but he was a selfish person who only accumulated wealth and refused to help the poor. The villagers hated the old artist and they all forsook him. Th...

SECRET OF A WOMAN. At one time, a newly married young man was shouting at his 20 years old wife and his father called him aside and said to him, 'We only shout at people our shouts or threats can frighten. But not to your wife. The way you are shouting, you are giving away your power to your wife.  Your threats make her stronger. Most men believe that when a woman is threatened, she gets subdued,  but women are not changed with fear. A woman may  stay quiet when a man is threatening and shouting at her but she is not sitting down inside her. She is evaluating the man's weakness and how to subdue him rather. Cast your mind back to those days men used to  beat their wives flippantly at slightest provocations, today most of  those men are older and they suffering consequences Those women their husband were beating years back are the ones enjoying the marriage with their children today, the mothers have their children's sympathy, the men are at the receiving...

POSITIVE THINKING: *1. Don't complicate life. We won't be here forever. Once this day is over, it's gone forever. Your time is too valuable to waste on nonsense.* *2. No matter what knocks you down in life, get up and keep going. NEVER GIVE UP. Great blessings come as a result of great perseverance.* *3. Talking about our problems is our greatest addiction. Break the habit. Talk about your joys.* *4. Good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient, and the best things come to those who don't give up.* *5. Do not pray for an easy life; pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.* *6. Disappointments were not meant to destroy you. They were meant to strengthen you and give you fortitude to accomplish your God-given destiny.* *7. We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but by appreciating what we do have.* *8. Your child will follow your example, not your advice.* ...

*Are your children ready to inherit you?* The only son of a certain wealthy man wanted to inherit the father's business. The old man gave him one condition to fulfill: "Earn 10,000 dollars, show me the money and my multi-million dollar business is yours" Not long after, his son brought the money he had collected from his mother claiming he worked for it. His father who was relaxing by an oven collected the cash and threw it into the oven. The two watched the oven until the whole cash was burnt to ashes. He told his son to simply  go on and work for the money and bring it to him. The mother again gave him another $10, 000 and told the boy to wait for some time, so he could disguise and look worn out before seeing his father. When he eventually met his father with the money, the old man was at the same spot close to the oven.  The man took the cash again threw it into the oven,  and again the two watched the $10,000 burnt to ashes. Then he told his son to go, work and ...

BETWEEN MY WIFE AND MY MOTHER By: Lizzy Oyebola Oyekunle "Iya Michael! Iya Michael! I know you are inside and can hear me o. Come out now!" I was on my bed, trying to get a nap when that familiar voice pulled me up. My mum! "You think you can just continue to use my son as a slave and I will keep mum? The news has gotten to my side. Come out here!" She said again and I started racking my brain. What could the matter be? When did my mum become abusive? "Maami, ekaasan ma"  I genuflected from upstairs where I was. "Ah, today is Monday na, why are you at home? Why haven't you gone to work? You see what I am talking about? You stay at home with the children while your wife goes to work? What nonsense! I can't condone this any longer" She said, gesticulating furiously. My wife had just gone to see one of our sick church members. I was so glad mum didn't meet her at home. She worked a nurse in our nursing home, just beside the hou...

The Sexual Fast! So inspiring write up. Daughter: (Coughs out) Hmmm…  Mum: (looks up at her, then continues picking her beans) Any gist for momma? Daughter:( Looks at her) Mum, I think I am not normal anymore…like, I am sick Mum: (Chuckles)  Sick?? Why? Daughter: Because I am over-sensitive. Whenever I see a guy, I have this weird feeling compared to when I meet a girl. Mum, I get worried often times if I would scale through adolescence without defiling myself Mum: (Laughs) you are afraid? Daughter: It seems you don’t understand mum. When I see a guy’s bicep, oh my God! If he mistakenly exposes his abs, then I would almost faint, feeling as if I should run into his strong, muscular arms and be cuddled. Mum: And so? That’s why you are not normal? Daughter: (Eyes widen) Mum! Mum: That shows that you are very normal my baby girl Daughter: I don’t understand mum Mum: You fasted recently right? Daughter: Yes mum. A three-day dry fast...
