Who is Valentine?

Did you know The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred?  But the most popular Saint Valentine, and the one frequently attributed with fathering Valentine’s Day, was a Roman priest during the third century, serving under Emperor Claudius. Emperor Claudius believed that single men made better soldiers than those married and with families, and passed a law  making marriage illegal for all young men.  Valentine recognized the horror of this law and continued to marry young couples in secret, effectively defying his Emperor. When Claudius discovered Valentine’s acts of defiance, he had him killed immediately. Valentine was later canonized by the Vatican and, in the 5th century, February 14th was named his feast day,  the day designated by the church to honor and commemorate a saint’s life. Still, other people believe that February 14th’s designation as a day of love...

Can being a little Jealous Help?

Ever wonder why most ladies still remain in  abusive relationships? You see a young lady being physically abused by her partner, most times the reason being why she gave a very long hug to some guy or she wouldn't say who called her and why... You would think, well, this is certainly it,  they are done, but to your surprise the very next day,  you see them holding hands in a shopping mall or a cafeteria some where and you can't help but wonder what kind of voodoo the guy must have used on the girl! Ladies like that are crazy and don't have self worth or esteem,  they should know better than to remain in such relationship might be your response right now, but it's often said that it is he or in this case,  she that wears a shoe that knows where it hurts! For some time now, I have listened, asked questions about this and most times I am always amazed! Some say they chose to remain because the guy aside occasionally laying hands on them, know...

ECONOMIC CRISES, NOT AN EXCUSE!

Makeup by LD Makeover Women have to prove themselves at every point in their life to earn the same respect that men get rather easily. Disparity  is highly prevalent, the low salaries, the need to sacrifice a career for the family, someone dictating what and how she should wear clothes, how she should behave and what she should do with her life only because it is believed that a woman is not good enough when compared to a man! -According to the editorial team of The Health Site, However, it’s high time that we pledge for parity and break free from these notions. This is not a post about the superiority of men over woman neither is it about how women can possibly do everything a man can do (though, personally i believe they can), this post is about celebrating creativity, ingenuity, zealousness, will-power and belief in possibilities and greatness!  It's no longer news, in my beloved country, the failure of the flow of oil, (to put it in a lay man's languag...

How Long Will You Continue Like This, How Long?

How long will you remain a child? How long will you keep your Shephard running after you with food? How long will you keep celebrating everyone around you without your victory in sight? How long will it be before you start realizing your place as a son? How long.... Apostle Paul speaking;1 Cori 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things . Don't you know that the Mysteries of this Kingdom are foolishness to a child? They can't practice them. Don't you know your blessings are in DOING and not just in HEARING? It's good that faith cometh by hearing but if you don't put what you hear to work you won't know how do you know it works! Many Pastors are getting thinner daily for they continue in praying and fasting daily for the expectations of the people to be met, because these people have refused to understand they too carry the power to work out their ...
