Lemon Water 

My friend cousin gave me this little tip that is well spoken of; drinking lemon water before breakfast. That might not sound too appealing but the benefits of this tip are wonderful.


Lemon water has a lot of benefits to your health and even your skin. 

     'It triggers hydro-chloric acid production which happens to   be a great help in food digestion.'

Hydro-chloric acid helps in breaking down of foods to enable digestion and better absorption. The molecules of food that enter the stomach are quite big, if they are not broken down, digestion will hardly take place and most definitely, no absorption.

'it gives your metabolism to a great boost for the day'

as we grow older, our metabolism slows down and this will lead to gaining of weight. Lemon water is one of the ways to give your metabolism a boost to avoid any effects of a slow metabolism.

'it helps the Liver function much better'

The bitterness of the mixture helps the liver in its function and detoxification. If the liver is not functioning well, a lot of complications may arise; low energy, poor complexion, hormonal imbalance to mention a few. So the liver needs to be active and healthy, just so you know, the liver cannot be replaced long term.

Try this, warm water with a squeeze of lemon (amount depending on how much bitterness you can withstand) and drink up 20 minutes before you take your breakfast. Note that after a few days of using this tip, you might feel a little worse, CHILLEX, this is due detoxification that maybe your liver hasn't been able to do well. After that time of feeling worse, there will be great benefits.


Try it, give it time and enjoy its awesome benefits!!! 


Remember 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "¹⁹ Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; ²⁰ you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

 God bless you

The treasures that are hidden

Its been a long time i know, bit this post will explain why...in a way!
When we talk of treasure our minds run to jewelry, money, etc. But i have come to realize that those are really not treasures but they can be stealer's of true treasure. We tend to trade the true treasure for these things and then we get to mistake them for treasure. Treasure simply means valuable things! what is valuable to you? How have you been showing that it is valuable?

There is a system in the world that we get assimilated in, its as if at birth you are already incorporated in it. Here are the stages in the system:
1. Get an education
2. Get a job
3. Get a house and a car
4. Get married and have a family
5. Accumulate more of the houses and cars as well as a lot of money.
6. Get some status in the community or socially
7. Raise your kids to follow the same cycle
How many of us are on the track of fulfilling this cycle? i Know, a lot.But is this it? i mean life? is this as good as it gets? shouldn't there be more to it?
The truth is that there is more to life and there is more to living than just accumulating wealth and becoming somebody to other somebodies. The devil has trapped us in this fast lane life that we don't even see the precious things in life: People, family, friends, bonding times, serving others, bringing hope to the hopeless, bringing a smile to the gloomy faces, enjoying nature and its beauty (taking sometime to smell the roses), being nice to others for no reason, helping out the poor etc..you get the drift! Doing things that will bring fulfillment to you and change lives.

I have come to know that time is treasure, people are treasure, family is treasure, peace is treasure, joy is treasure, happiness is treasure.ITS IS THE SMALL THINGS THAT MATTER!!!

Just indicate, look at your mirrors for behind vehicles and shift lanes, get on the slower lane. Take some time off your busy schedule,park your car by the road side, talk to that Old lady selling oranges, ask her how she is doing, encourage her, pray for her hug her and tell her how important she is!

Miss that huge conference, get your child from school, take them to the playground, get dirty with them and enjoy their company, be a child once again!

Cook a nice carefully prepared meal, get your car and pick as many street kids as you can, invite them into that marble floored living room of yours, let them seat on those suede velvet dining chairs of yours and treat them as high class visitors with your meal!

Get off the fast lane and enjoy your life, feel your heart with joy for once instead of your pockets or your bank account. We miss out on life running after things that will never bring us true fulfillment. Love, serve, spend time, pray for people. Thats how Jesus spent His time!!!!

True treasures are Hidden, find them in your own life and go after them, you will never regret it!!!

simplicity, love...

Life has become very complicated, it is no more as simple as it used to be, thus complicated. A lot of things now complicate our lives and enslave us. What happened to just living and loving, appreciating what you have and being thankful?

We live to gain wealth now, do whatever it takes to get rich and gain status and respect. The more you get the more you want and the more you push and toil to get. we even forget to take time and enjoy what we have already with thanksgiving. Today we get parents leaving behind their families to study in far places for 10 years to gain a lot of qualifications and be well respected and honored in their places. Money controls people's lives and pulls them up and down making them forget their loved ones, reaping a mother from her child and breaking marriages. It is no more something that made things easier but it makes everything complicated and even painful.

Money has polluted even the most beautiful thing of all, love. Love used to be an innocent thing that required no condition, it just took the heart and letting it flourish without struggle. But now we have socio-economic class, education and even background setting conditions for love. People now marry for what they can gain, its no more love that brings people together. "He is a good man and i love him, but what can he give me?" isn't love enough? isn't love the requirement for marriage? The words "love you forever" have no meaning anymore, its "love you as long as you are rich forever".

What happened to simplicity? was it not working? It managed to keep the love of a husband and a wife burning, to keep families together and siblings intact .But now you find siblings fighting and plotting one another's death over spilled milk because the simplicity of love and just having each other does not exist anymore. It has been replaced by greed, competition and power.
Love while you still can, appreciate what you got and those around you. Money cannot buy happiness, it only turns one into a greedy monster. Give thanks for all you got and let it bring you closer to your loved ones not apart. Learn to minister through love, Unconditional love. This world is full of surprises, you ill never know what tomorrow brings, that is if tomorrow comes!!!

Read the Bible for yourself

e need to learn to read the Bible for ourselves. Read the scripture and let it talk to your life. We need to read the Bible for ourselves and not rely on other people, read and ask the Holy spirit to explain the scriptures for you, not always relying on other people. The word of God is a guide, a campus for our lives, it should direct our path. Psalm 119:105"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path."

We should dig into the scriptures ourselves and get the message and with the guide of the Holy spirit practice it in our own lives. What you receive from the Bible is not exactly what i will receive because our lives are different and we need different things, so we might read the same scripture and get different interpretations of it depending on the season of our lives. Not reading the Bible for yourselves can be very dangerous especially when you get to meet up with people who lie and cheat others using the Bible. Read for yourself and get wise.Do not be deceived. watch the following videos...

Where are you headed???

Life can be so many things, meaningful especially when things are going well, depressing when you are going through fiery challenges and just okay when there isn't much pressure in your everyday life. Its a roller coaster, different speed at different parts of the ride, but even a roller coaster is ridden for fun, but why are we doing life? why are we living? where are we going with his life? why do we have to go through such traumatizing experiences? for what?

You see when you do not know why you have to do something, its totally meaningless and everything leads to weariness. The reason why we suffer in life is because we lack direction, so it appears that difficulties is only torture in our lives as we never get to see the benefits of the difficulties in our lives.Some of these challenges and pains are brought about by abuse, we tend to abuse our lives because we do not know why we are living.

"When purpose is unknown, abuse in inevitable"

When you know why you are living, you will have a direction at least to where you are going and you will be able to trace your challenges t your goal, where you are going.It is when you know where you are headed that you will realize that all your challenges are equipping you for what is ahead of you. You will realize that the challenges no matter how cruel they may seem, they are all working together for your good Romans 8: 28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Nothing JUST happens, but all things happen for a reason, but you will never know why they have to happen because you do not relate them with anything, but when you relate them with where you are going, you will know that the certainly is a reason for everything happening the way they are happening and at that time as well.

And you will even get to appreciate challenges when you know where you are headed because you know you definately need the training if you want to do the best job when the time comes. So, WHAT DRIVES YOU? where are you going? why do you exist? what is you purpose in this life? Stop living aimlessly and working hard for perishables, it is not a wise investment. Rather invest in things that are priceless and will last forever. Matthew 6: 20 "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."Stop being myopic and look beyond what you see. Colossians 3:1-2"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Stop living and live for God, stop being just a Christian and be a kingdom minded Christian, desire to see the kingdom of God advance!!!

Boy Meets girl review

I have just finished a book by Joshua Harris called Boy meets girl: say hello to courtship. it is a wonderful book that i enjoyed reading and i don't mind reading it again in the future. I recommend it to all young people in the Lord, those who are single and those who are married as well.

Its a great testimony of a Godly courtship that later led to marriage between the write and his wife. It talks widely of courtships with different endings because of different reasons. It was through this book that i learnt that courtship is always successful, whether it ends in marriage or not because the main idea behind courtship is to see if you can get married to your partner, live with your partner after marriage, just how compatible you are with the person you are courting.

Joshua reveals courtship as another level of friendship, not a sexual indulgence. he defines courtship as "a relationship between a man and a woman who are actively and intensionally together to consider marriage". He continued to explain that courtship draws on the principles and priority of sexual purity. From His definition of Courtship i picked out that courtship is a relationship that which a man and a woman engage in when they have intension of marriage. But these days we see a lot of people especially youth indulging in relationships and calling them courtships but without the intension of marriage thus totally dissolving the true meaning of courtship.

Another thing that caught my attention about Boy meets girl is that Joshua clearly explained that courtship is a relationship that has a very clearly stated purpose of finding out if God will have the courting persons marry. This means there can never be courtship if God is not involved. Any courtship should be guided by Biblical principles and whatever the LORD says at the end should be done, since the whole idea was to hear from him.

There are more things in this book and i highly recommend it for everyone,young old, its useful to everyone. I believe you can get it in any Christian book store near you or even order it online. The author is Joshua Harris.
