My husband was travelling so we decided to have a quick one before he leaves home. We have two kids. The first was out playing with his friends. He's ten. The second one was sleeping in his room.

We felt safe doing it without locking the door because it was going to be quick and also our young soldiers were out of sight. A minute into the action, our door flung open and our first child walked in calling my name. What pains me the most is the fact that I was holding a table. If we were doing it in bed it would been fine because that's the normal way.

Immediately he saw us, he shut the door and walked away. We both collapsed into the bed arguing who should go out first and talk to him. While arguing, my phone rang. It was a neighbour. She said, "I sent your son to call you for me but he came back to tell me you are busy. I'm wondering if he's telling the truth because he was morose."

We came out and had a round table discussion with him. We apologized to him and explained that we love each other so much that's why we would do such a thing. He didn't say a word or maintain eye contact.

My husband is gone and we are left alone. Truth be told, I've become shy around him. He's also not helping issues. He has lost his bubbly nature. He barely talks. He keeps to himself these days. Is that normal? How long before things come back to normal between us? Ama m’ayɛ basaa.

"Don't Believe Everything You Think: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life" by Joseph Nguyen is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between our thoughts and emotions, emphasizing the importance of mental clarity and self-awareness. The book aims to help readers recognize and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that can lead to anxiety, stress, and negative self-perception. Here are ten key lessons and insights from the book:

1. Understanding Thoughts vs. Reality: Nguyen stresses that thoughts are not necessarily reflective of reality. He encourages readers to differentiate between their thoughts and actual facts, highlighting that many negative thoughts can be distorted perceptions rather than truths.

2. The Nature of Cognitive Distortions: The author delves into various cognitive distortions, such as all-or-nothing thinking and catastrophizing. By identifying these patterns, readers can better understand how their thinking can lead to unnecessary anxiety and self-doubt.

3. Challenging Negative Thoughts: Nguyen provides strategies for challenging and reframing negative thoughts. He encourages readers to question the validity of their thoughts and to consider alternative perspectives that may be more constructive and accurate.

4. Mindfulness and Present Moment Awareness: The book emphasizes the importance of mindfulness as a tool for managing thoughts. By cultivating present-moment awareness, individuals can reduce rumination and enhance their ability to respond to situations more thoughtfully rather than reactively.

5. The Power of Self-Compassion: Nguyen highlights the significance of self-compassion in combating negative thinking. By treating oneself with kindness and understanding, individuals can create a more supportive internal dialogue that fosters resilience and emotional well-being.

6. Emotional Regulation: The author discusses the connection between thoughts and emotions, explaining how unhelpful thoughts can lead to emotional distress. He offers techniques for regulating emotions, such as grounding exercises and deep breathing, to help manage overwhelming feelings.

7. The Role of Values: Nguyen encourages readers to reflect on their core values and how their thoughts align with them. By grounding thoughts in personal values, individuals can cultivate a sense of purpose and direction, leading to more meaningful decision-making.

8. Constructive Self-Talk: The book emphasizes the importance of cultivating constructive self-talk. Nguyen provides practical tips on how to shift from negative affirmations to positive, empowering statements that can enhance self-esteem and motivation.

9. Creating a Supportive Environment: Nguyen discusses the impact of social environments on thought patterns. He encourages readers to surround themselves with supportive, positive influences that can help reinforce healthier thinking and emotional resilience.

10. Embracing Change and Uncertainty: Finally, Nguyen emphasizes that change and uncertainty are natural parts of life. He encourages readers to embrace these experiences as opportunities for growth rather than sources of fear, helping them to develop a more adaptable mindset.

"Don't Believe Everything You Think" by Joseph Nguyen provides valuable insights into the nature of thoughts and their impact on emotions and behaviors. By encouraging readers to challenge negative thinking patterns, practice mindfulness, and cultivate self-compassion, the book serves as a guide for fostering mental clarity and emotional well-being. Through practical strategies and reflections on personal values, Nguyen empowers readers to take control of their thinking and create a more fulfilling life.

Completely Sold Out to Him.
Fully surrendered.

His whisper a command, I rise to heed
His path unfolds, I ask how far to speed
He speaks, I leap, no questions in my stride
A joyful pause, when He bids me bide
His “GO!” ignites, I leave all cares behind
Just a nobody, with a Savior on my mind

No earthly audience, for this heavenly show
My eyes seek Jesus, wherever I may go

YHWH

There is prophecy over me. I cannot fail my Lord!
in this world but not from it. there is no restraints as far as my work is concerned. It cannot be undone!

Pst Paul Adefarasin Pledges to support Moses Bliss amongst other Gospel Artist.

"I need some strong business people to say we are going to take this gospel music to the best quality that it can get to, and we are happy to be part of that process….

I’m not going to let them steal Church boys and then go and do secular music whilst God’s church guys aren’t getting the same opportunity. The devil has to pay us back 10 times if not 100 times, and we’re taking this gospel till you hear it on the streets of London, the streets of New York, the streets of Washington DC, the streets of Manchester, the streets of Commerce, all over the world…

The secular guy is listening to the beat before he listens to the lyrics. These guys have the beat. I’ve heard beats here that will sell. And I don’t need them doing only ministry. If the ministry is bringing Jesus in, then they deserve to have industry”
~Pastor speaks about at The African Praise Experience.

THE RISE AND RISE OF Apostle Orokpo Michael

Earlier today I was just reminiscing and I saw how God indeed makes everything beautiful in his time. Just 4years back Apostle Orokpo Michael was a classroom teacher at Mount saint Gabriel secondary school in Makurdi Benue State Nigeria, earning 19,000naira ( 52USD using 2019 rates) monthly. Fervently and passionately labouring among his then students, teaching them about Jesus Christ and baptising them in the power of the Holy Ghost.

Then SUDDENLY, the nations came calling and the rest is history. Like a torrent he poured himself to the nations quenching the thirst of many and triggering hunger in the live of millions of people in Africa and across Europe with the undiluted word of life and the power of the Holy Ghost.

Earlier this evening I was streaming his meeting in Zambia and all I could see was how mightily God can use any man that avails himself to him, I saw the beauty of aligning one's self to the ultimate will of God and I also saw how God is a no respecter of persons and how He shows mercy on whom he would show mercy and how He lift the bagger from the dunghill and makes him to sit with princes .

In conclusion, we can't tell how far we can go with God until we begin to walk and work with him .
