Packaging the Truth

Image
Ever found yourself between a rock and a hard place in regard to telling the truth? Have you ever been compelled to lie to rescue yourself from a situation? In parenting, have you ever told your child one thing but knowing very well you meant the opposite? Did you, while searching for a job make up some lies in your CV? Well this and many other questions that you may ask yourself put you in a place where your personal integrity is tested. Communication is said to be that activity that we engage in consciously or subconsciously. Truth on its part needs to be communicated at all times by all.

1 st Timothy 2:15 “But women will be saved through childbearing, assuming they continue to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty.” The moment a child is born, a mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new! A woman praying Mothers have an unfair advantage with the Lord. In Luke 7, Jesus observed a huge funeral procession in Nain. The entire town was present. He observed the young men and women weeping. He observed the pastors and apostles weeping. He observed the elders weeping. He observed the fathers weeping. He observed the children weeping. He observed the sadness on people's faces. Nothing seemed to move Him, until HE SAW THE MOTHER. The Bible says He had compassion when He saw her and immediately raised her boy from the dead. (Luke 7:12 -15). It was the cry of a mother that moved the Heart of God. Still today, Mothers who cry before the Lord for their families, for th...

Smart Shopping – Tips to save money and time

Trying to save money when shopping often means spending a lot of time instead.  If you don’t like to shop or if you don’t have time to go from store to store, here are ways to shop carefully without spending all your time. Shop with a list. This is the cardinal rule of shopping. The list represents your shopping needs. Making your list ahead of time helps prevent guesswork and trips back to the store for something you forgot. If you keep to the list, you can avoid making impulsive buys.

Know your brands.  It’s good to compare prices, but sometimes you need to be able to choose something quickly.  If you know which brands is usually the best deal and you have a past experience with them, then you have a better chance of getting a value even if you don’t stop to compare prices that day. Discard brand loyalties. Som...

The tourist complimented the African fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. “Not very long,” answered the fisherman. “But then, why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the tourist. The fisherman explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family. The tourist asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"  The fisherman answered, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife.  In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs.  I have a full life."  The tourist interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you!  You should start by fishing longer every day.  You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger bo...
