HUMAN BEINGS, NOT HUMAN DOINGS

Interview.....

Pls Read this:

This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren,
'Purpose Driven Life' author and
Pastor of Saddleback Church in California.

--In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren,

Rick said:
--People ask me, What is the purpose of life?

--And I respond:
In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

--One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.

--I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity.
This is the warm-up act --the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity..

--We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.

--Life is a series of problems:
Either you are in one now, OR you're just coming out of one, OR you're getting ready to go into another one.
--The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
--We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.
--No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.
--And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.
FOCUS ON PURPOSE NOT PROBLEMS
--You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems:

--If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain. But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.
I SURRENDER ALL UNTO JESUS!
--We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?

--Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?
WHAT IS YOUR DRIVEN FORCE?
--When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better.
Phil.3:10 -" That I May Know Him, and the power of His  Resurrection, ..." - Apostle Paul
God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.

--That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

--Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
--Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
--Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
--Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
--Every moment, THANK GOD.

--If you do not pass it on, nothing will happen. But it will just be nice to pass it on to friends...

THE EVIL CALABASH !

I read this somewhere and found it worth sharing. "Ohun ti o wa ninu igba kii jeki a le gbe  igba lo nigba miran" - meaning what's inside the calabash doesn't allow it to be taken away sometimes! Now THE STORY! Iya Rhoda called me one day and said Ayodele omo mi, I replied yes maami. She said, be strong in character, let your integrity be your navigator, don't fall for cheap blackmail, but above all let love and humility rule your life, because even the devil can not resist LOVE. Ah! Maami kilode? I asked. Then she said, sit down let me tell you this story. "There was a woman who was a witch. This woman was average in wealth but lost her husband which is the major reason she joined the coven. She had only one child who happened to be a girl. This girl was well trained but she retrained herself. She was HUMBLE, LOVABLE, INTELLIGENT and exhibited LOVELY character always. As the practice were, all member of this coven had to at a poin...

BENEFITS OF OILING BELLY BUTTON (NAVEL)

Image
DID YOU KNOW? Our belly button (NABHI )  is an amazing gift given to us by our creator. A 62 year old man had poor vision in his left eye. He could hardly see especially at night and was told by eye specialists that his eyes were in a good condition but the only problem was that the veins supplying blood to his eyes were dried up and he would never be able to see again. According to Science, the first part created after conception takes place is the belly button. After it’s created, it joins to the mother’s placenta through the umbilical chord.  Our belly button is surely an amazing thing! According to science, after a person has passed away, the belly button is still warm for 3 hours the reason being that when a woman conceives a child, her belly button supplies nourishment to the child through the child’s belly button. And a fully grown child is formed in 270 days = 9 months. This is the reason all our veins are connected to our belly button which makes it the foc...
