Why We Pray

God has called us into a relationship with Himself. Relationships require communication. Prayer is communication between a holy God and a beloved you and me. Throughout God's Word we're taught the significance and role of prayer.

God commands us to pray.
“In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for Me in earnest, you will find Me when you seek Me” (Jeremiah 29:12,13, NLT).
God wants to be in relationship with us. And He knows we need what He can give. Through prayer, we experience life-transforming, life- renewing intimacy with the Creator of the universe.

God reveals Himself to us through prayer.
“Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing” (Psalm 143:10, NLT). We learn more and more about His character and how His perfect will is working itself out in our own life. Deepening our understanding of God also deepens our faith and desire to worship.

God invites us to bring our burdens andneeds to Him in prayer.
“Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28, NLT). We have a Heavenly Father who is more than able to bring victory to any challenge we face. God is a spiritual and physical healer. Like any healthy relationship, we must keep a line of communication open.

God responds to the prayers of His people.
“The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results” (James 5:16b, NLT). It is through prayer, that His work is accomplished on earth. The apostle Paul continually asked for prayer in his missionary endeavors and saw prayer as vital to his success.

10 Benefits of Forgivenes

Is there a psychological, even a physical benefit to forgiveness? Studies show that there are. Forgiveness has been associated with all of the following:

1. lower heart rate and blood pressure

2. Greater relief from stress

3. Decrease in medication use

4. improved sleep quality and decrease in fatigue

5. decreased physical complaints such as aches and pains

6. Reduction in depressive symptoms

7. Strengthened spirituality

8. Better conflict management

9. Improved relationships (not just with the offending party
but in other relationships as well)

10. Increase in purposeful, altruistic behaviors

So, are you holding on to anger? Is there someone that you are “punishing” by choosing not to forgive? Why not let go of the bitterness and start enjoying all of the above. It takes practice and effort to forgive, but it is well worth it in the long run (spiritually, physically, and psychologically.)

6 Tips to Improve Your Time Management Skills

When you learn and maintain good time management skills, you’ll find
freedom from deadline pressure and from stress in general. You’ll be more productive, procrastinate less, and have more time to relax, which helps further decrease stress and anxiety.
Time management skills are like shoes or a good pair of jeans — you may have to try several pair before you find just the right fit. They’re different for each person and you have to find what works best for you. Below are a few that work for me which you may wantto borrow.

1. Make a list.
The thing about making lists is that you actually have to use them. You may want to set reminders on your phone and computer.Lists really
do work if you use them. One of the most important things is to make sure your list feels attainable. No one wants a 30- item to-do list and have to, at the end of the day, look at the 20 items that didn’t get done. Prioritize yours and others’ needs and plan accordingly. You might even want to make three lists — personal, home and work.

2. Set deadlines.
Again, there is no point in setting deadlines if you make executive decisions to always push them back. Set a deadline and try your best to stick to it. Set your deadline a few days before the task absolutely has to be done. This allows for the possibility that other things will get in the way, but also allow for you still to get the task done.

3. Stop multi-tasking.
Multitaskers often seem to think they get more accomplished, but it’s not always the most productive or efficient route. Let’s face it, our minds work better when we are truly able to focus and concentrate on one thing.

4. Delegate responsibilities.
For those of us who like to be in control the very thought of this is likely to provoke a bit of anxiety. The truth of the matter is that no matter how good we are, we can’t do everything. Sometimes we take on more than we can handle. Delegation is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of intelligence. Find competent, reliable people and share some of the responsibilities. It will allow you to be less
stressed and more productive.

5. Use your downtime.
This tip requires some balance. Using all of your downtime for planning and prioritizing is bad and can lead to increased stress and burnout. However, if you find yourself sitting in early morning traffic, this may be a good time to start prioritizing your day or making plans for dinner. If you’re waiting in the doctor’s office, this may be a good time to write the grocery list. (Just don’t forget it.) If you have opportunities like these make the best of them, but also remember to use them for relaxation as needed.

6. Reward yourself.
When you accomplish something, celebrate it! How you celebrate is up to you. My word of advice is to keep whatever you choose to do healthy, make sure it’s something you really enjoy, don’t do it in excess, and don’t let it cause you to get further behind.Time management skills are an essential part of making your day just a little easier. Find what works for you and stick to it.

Healthy Sleep Tips

Healthy sleep habits can make a big difference in
your quality of life. Having healthy sleep habits is
often referred to as having good “ sleep hygiene.”
Try to keep the following sleep practices on a
consistent basis:

1. Stick to the same bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends.
This helps to regulate your body's clock and could help you fall asleep and stay asleep for the night.

2. Practice a relaxing bedtime ritual.
A relaxing, routine activity right before bedtime conducted away from bright lights helps separate your sleep time from activities that can cause excitement, stress or anxiety which can make it more difficult to fall asleep, get sound and deep sleep or remain asleep.

3. Avoid naps, especially in the afternoon.
Power napping may help you get through the day, but if you find that you can't fall asleep at bedtime, eliminating even short catnaps may help.

4. Exercise daily.
Vigorous exercise is best, but even light exercise is better than no activity. Exercise at any time of day, but not at the expense of your sleep.

5. Evaluate your room.
Design your sleep environment to establish the conditions you need for sleep. Your bedroom should be cool – between 60 and 67 degrees. Your
bedroom should also be free from any noise that can disturb your sleep. Finally, your bedroom should be free from any light. Check your room for
noises or other distractions. This includes a bed partner's sleep disruptions such as snoring. Consider using blackout curtains, eye shades, ear plugs, "white noise" machines, humidifiers, fans and other devices.

6. Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows.
Make sure your mattress is comfortable and supportive. The one you have been using for years may have exceeded its life expectancy – about 9 or 10 years for most good quality mattresses. Have comfortable pillows and make the room attractive and inviting for sleep but also free of allergens that might affect you and objects that might cause you
to slip or fall if you have to get up during the night.

7. Use bright light to help manage your circadian rhythms .
Avoid bright light in the evening and expose yourself to sunlight in the morning. This will keep your circadian rhythms in check.

8. Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and heavy meals in the evening.
Alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine can disrupt sleep. Eating big or spicy meals can cause discomfort from indigestion that can make it hard to sleep. It is good to finish eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.

9. Wind down.
Your body needs time to shift into sleep mode, so spend the last hour before bed doing a calming activity such as reading. For some people, using an electronic device such as a laptop can make it hard to fall asleep, because the particular type of light emanating from the screens of these devices is activating to the brain. If you have trouble sleeping, avoid electronics before bed or in the middle of the night.

10. If you can't sleep, go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel tired.
It is best to take work materials, computers and televisions out of the sleeping environment. Use your bed only for sleep and sex to strengthen the association between bed and sleep. If you associate a particular activity or item with anxiety about sleeping, omit it from your bedtime routine.

What if You Just Hate Making Dinner?

Nigeria poor, a cool bunch of people with little or
no money at hand. They are not just poor – they
are really poor and the class of Nigeria poor folks
do not include the Average middle class who feel
he is poor because his neighbor, the rich middle-
class guy, oppress him a lot with stuffs he
cannot afford even tho he is not really poor.
I have a problem with the Mr Biggs, Chicken
Republic, KFC, Ozone & SilverBird Gallery visiting
middle-class folks who thinks they are poor
while also paying N5000 averagely for their
monthly DSTV subscription. You are not poor.
You have no right to claim you are poor. You
have no right to claim you are suffering because
the real poor folks beneath you in the ladder are
suffering – Hunger pangs is a regular visitor to
their tummy. Average middle-class folks should
& ought not to be classified as “Poor Nigerians”,
– classifying them as poor Nigerians is an insult
to the real poor Nigerians.
The poor folks are those whose Mr Biggs &
Tantalizer are Mama Basira, Iya Bako & Mummy
Tobi; the un-kept looking food sellers whose
food you will never eat because she sells her
food in an environment unhealthy to your health.
The poor folks are those who Mama Basira haul
insults at because they’ve exceeded their credit
patronage limit but they have to eat, their family
have to eat and Mama Basira understands this.
That’s why, after the insults, she still sell food to
them on credit. She understands their situation.
She pities them because she can relate with their
situation.
The real poor folks are Ibrahim & Rashidat’s
parents; the little kids who hawk pure-water and
other stuffs down your street while their
privileged mates – the children of the middle-
folks are in the classrooms. Government-owned
Primary and Secondary schools offer the children
of the poor Nigerian folks a chance to be
educated. That’s all. After their SS3, Wo ma lo
ko ishe owo. The stubborn ones rugged their
University education. Some of the stubborn ones
later go on to become success stories while
others make it up to the middle-class social
ladder.
The real poor Nigerians have no time to
complain about the bad roads, bad government
policies & other stuffs we rage about. They are
busy hustling to survive. And the poor Nigerians
are not on social media – they have no such
time to waste. Time is money. They have to
hustle to eat, to feed their family. To stay aive.
The real poor folks are those who may have
never visited a hospital before after birth; not
that they don’t fall sick but because they cannot
afford hospital bills so they engage the service of
the local doctors (Chemist) or the traditionalist
(Alagbo) whenever they fall sick. When they
eventually die, their relatives have to contribute
money for their burial & their kids are shared off
among relatives because the possession they left
behind will fetch nothing of worth. They may
even have lots of debt hanging on their neck and
their creditors usually attend their burial to
confirm for themselves if he/she is really dead.
The Creditors are usually the most saddest
during the burial – Watch out for them.
The real poor folks don’t give a damn about who
becomes President or governor; they are
interested in Elections only due to the
benevolence of Nigeria Politicians during election
periods. Hence, The real poor folks are those
who collected rice from Fayose & Fayemi in Ekiti
state and still didn’t vote on Election Day for
either candidate because hunger calls and they
have no money for pepper & kerosene. They have
no strength for election queues. And they are
busy praying to God to send a helper to provide
for them pepper & kerosene so they can cook
Fayose and Fayemi rice in one big pot to fill their
belly.
For the real poor folks, Everyday is a battle for
them. Everyday, they fight for the right to stay
alive. Nigeria have failed them. The Politicians
have failed them & “We” – their fellow Nigerians
have also failed them. As their neighbors, we’ve
have never cared about them. We don’t give a
fuck about their existence. We spend lots of
money partying, caring for our dogs while they
tarry hungry – While they go to bed hungry. We
make subscription payments for our Dstv &
Phones with the same amount that is enough to
sustain them for months. We come online
Clamoring for change; because we have the
bragging rights to do so while we ignore the
existence of our neighbors who our little
benevolence to will “Change” their living
situation. Change does not begin at Federal
Level – “Charity begins at home” – Change
begins with You & I. Change begins with “You &
Your Neighbor”. Change begins with “US”.
The touts we see in Mushin, Oshodi and other
places where touts are – they are the children of
poor Nigerians. 99% of the little Children you
come across roaming the streets of Mushin,
Oshodi, Ibadan and other places you come
across them will up as a menace to the society,
they will end up as tools to be used by the pot-
bellied power hungry Politicians to unleash
violence. They are your problem, they are our
problem. Statistically, they are the government
problem. They add up to illiteracy rate and
children out of school rate. But realistically, they
are our problem. They will end up as our
problem.
God Bless Nigeria.
