Bible Verse Of The Day: Genesis 4 vs 9 - 15


9 ¶ And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
 10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
 11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
 12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
 13 ¶ And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
 14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
 15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

Pre-Exam Prayers



 Tomorrow Morning, over a million people around and even outside Nigeria will be writing the entrance exam into Tertiary Institution.
 This is one of the most dreaded exams in the academical calender here in Nigeria, students spend over all of the three years of senior secondary school, and sometimes even more to prepare for it, This exam raises the confidence of people, makes their future and takes them from being boys to being men, at the same time, it has reduced "Big Boys" to "Little Babies". It even drives some people to the point of suicidal tendencies.
 Some people write this exam only once and get the desired results, while others have a couple of tries at it before getting their desired results, while some have written it over five, if not ten times, and are yet to gain the much sought after admission into Higher Institution of Learning.
 I happen to have a couple of friends (Over Five of them, including my best-friend as well as my younger sister who are writing this crucial exam tomorrow, some of them are confident, while others are scarred,  some of them are optimist, while others are pessimistic and skeptical. I do have a word for everyone of you, "Fear Not, God is with You".
 I pray you find favor tomorrow, find the exam easier, and meet questions from areas you have read.
 May God's Presence and Favor be with You, Go in Peace, The Lord is Your Strength.
 To All JAMB/UTME candidates, this is to wish you the very best, God bless you.

The Innocent Loving Heart Of A Child.







 The child is easily God's most beautiful creation, (Other than Heaven) a child is an epitome of perfection, he is an imagery of innocence, and a pictorial representation of Humanity at it's best.
 Children have a heart filled with love, care, tenderness, innocence, humility, confidence, and every positive attribute that could ever be present in any man.
 No matter the level of  offense you might commit towards a child, the child might leave you alone in anger, hurt and distraught, but in a matter of hours, if not minutes, the child is sure to comeback to you, forgetting about the past, and acting as if everything you did never happened.
 No matter what you own or do not own, if you give a child the opportunity, he is sure to love you selflessly, without fear, and with all purity of heart.
Children do not care about your past, they have a bright and beautiful picture about the future, they believe irrespective of the past, they can be whatever they want to in the future, they are willing to share what they have selflessly, and will do whatever it takes to pro protect a friend.
 Children will love with all sincerity, and there love is not blinded by lust, selfishness, negativity, race, religion, political affiliation, ethnicity, or any other prejudice.
 To a child, things only fall into two categories, good or bad. There is nothing like "complicated" in their dictionary, if it is not good, then it is bad, and vice versa.
 It is simply impossible not to fall in love with a child, and if at any point you fall you are losing touch with your humane side, just take time out to look at the children around you, spend time in their midst, trust me it's gonna be a life changing experience.
 Here's what the bible has to say about children:
Matthew 18 : 3 - 5 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

 From this verses, I learned a very important lesson, "Children are God's way of teaching adults the most important lessons."
