The Number One Basic Key To Personal Transformation!

Personal Transformation is all about improving or developing your capabilities to attain maximum success and excellence in every area of life. One of the factors that guarantee progress or success as a child of God is when you have the knowledge of the fact that there are heavenly virtues inside of you that need to be given expression.

Your love and trust in God determines the extent of your success in life! Isaiah 48:17, Jeremiah 17:7-8, Isaiah 45:2-3. Success in life is not only the achievement of your personal set goals but also the ability to achieve God’s goals for your life i.e living a life full of God’s purpose.

To be excellent means to be outstanding in all you do; being the best among contemporaries or peers. To stand out as the best, you must possess God’s wisdom and love. Your love for God empowers you as a believer to succeed in all you do while God’s wisdom guarantees your access to excellence Prov 8:10-11, Prov 9:9-10.

To become wise, you have to acquire the right kind of knowledge or Godly counsel Prov 8:33, Prov 12:1, Prov 13:20.It is said that ‘Knowledge is Power’; you will automatically become empowered when you begin to acquire and apply the right kind of information in your life. It is therefore important to know how to operate in wisdom by investing positive things in your mind! The mind is said to be the center of God’s wisdom Prov14:33.

One of the 5 basic keys to Personal Transformation in life is the Mind!

Your Thoughts (fruit of the heart): The mind is the greatest asset in the journey of destiny. You are what you think! Prov 23:7. Your thought is your reality; there is nothing that is or that has been which isn’t dependent on the power of the mind.

 You are the architect of your own destiny. This life is just like a mirror; whatever it finds in your heart is what it will reflect or give back to you. 

The root of happiness is joy, the one that lives inside of you. Just don't allow the negative experiences in your life try to squeeze you in but be transformed by the renewing of your mind and the opportunities you see around you.

 God has packaged a lot of great things inside you, you just need the opportunity to give expression to what you carry on your inside!

For true happiness, it’s best to look within. Begin to align your thoughts to what God’s purpose is for your life and reset every form of negative mindset or mentality you carry.

When you change your thoughts, your circumstance will automatically change.Nothing changes without Personal Transformation.

P.S: Your real wealth is not measured by what you have or by what you are but by the spirit that lives in you!

Some Tips On Bloating And Gas...

Bloating…you know that feeling of ‘gassiness’ with abdominal discomfort that you get after a meal? Have you found that it is associated with some meals? Do you know the cause(s)?

Well, bloating is usually caused by the twin factors of what you have eaten and how you chose to eat it. 

For what you have eaten, easy culprits are rich, fatty foods, beans, dairy (especially in lactose intolerant people), high fibre foods (if lots of water is not taken afterwards) etc.

How can how you eat cause you a problem? If you tend to over-eat or rush your food (eat it very fast or like a friend of mine would say, ‘inhale’ it, then you are a target for bloating. The reason is that you eat so fast that you don’t give enough time for signals to travel to your brain from the stomach confirming that you are full. By the time that signal arrives, you are all stuffed up and bloated to boot! Note that it may take up to 20 minutes for those signals that confirm fullness to get to the brain…sounds like a long journey.

Other causes of bloating are swallowed air (which can happen when we eat too fast or drink too fast) and smoking.

Prevention?
This is really simple: Reduce portion sizes, limit your intake of fats, eat slowly, quit smoking and limit your intake of foods that cause this, if all else fails.

If your bloating is caused by swallowed air, avoid carbonated drinks (most soft drinks fall into this category), don’t drink with straws (at least on a regular basis) avoid chewing chord…oh, sorry! I meant to say, avoid chewing gum  and stay off your candies that you suck so hard and suck in quite a bit of air too!

Remember that if this ‘gassiness’ continues ‘regularly, you should see your doctor to be sure this is not the symptom of something else.

So, when you attend that party, go easy on the food. Take a small serving and eat slooowly.

Rest For God's People...

It is very evident that the rest which we are to find as God’s people is a rest which grows entirely out of our spirits; being conformed to the spirit of Christ. It is vain to think that if our circumstances were altered, we should be more at rest. If we cannot rest in poverty, neither would we in riches. Also, if we cannot rest in the midst of persecution, neither would we in the midst of honor. It is therefore the spirit within that gives the rest! It is independent of any circumstance.

The spirit is the spring of rest. The outward surroundings are of small account. If our minds be like that of Christ, we shall find rest unto our souls; that kind of deep, abiding and growing rest that only comes from God to his people Hebrews 4:9-11, Jeremiah 31:25.

REST – staying refreshed in a chaotic world.

 In these times, God’s people must trust him for rest of body and soul. – David Wilkerson

#RestInTheGoodnessOfGod

The New Moon Service for the month of April is tonight. Let all Celestians attend. God has been faithful!

5 Signs You Are Not Drinking Enough Water

There is not much in this world more refreshing than an ice-cold glass of water. A simple glass of water is more satisfying than a cup of coffee or a can of soft drink. When next you are on the road or dining at your favourite Lagos restaurant , rather than drink soda, take water.

Dryness
This is one of the most obvious signs that you are not drinking enough water. According to researchers, water represents 60% of body weight in adult men. So if, your eyes, skin and mouth are always dry, you need to drink more water. A bottle of water cost N50 while softdrink is N100. Water is more affordable but many do not drink it. Drinking water oils the skins, mouth and eyes.

Extremely thirsty
There is a measure of thirstiness that is acceptable. Nevertheless, if you are already addicted to soft drink and an advocate of not drinking water, you will not just be tasty always but extremely tasty. When you sight water, your face radiates, and the water pangs disappears as you are forced to buy a bottle of water. Why will you deny your body water when you are not travelling across the Sahara Desert?

You unusually stay sick longer
A reliable avenue for staying healthy is drinking water. It is a perfect resource that helps rid the body of waste products as well as aid digestion. If you are always dehydrated and stay on the sick for too longer, you should question your water drinking habits.

Feel fatigued
Water is as important as blood in the a body. If the water in your body system do not suffice, it borrows water in the blood. When this happens, you begin to feel tired, worn out and lethargic. Just take a break and go drink water. You will feel the impact in a flash.

You Experience Reduced Urination
If you do not visit the toilet to urinate, you should be worried. Equally, if you have to muster all your strength to defecate, it is simply a sign that you are not drinking enough water. A egular trip to the restroom means you either drank enough water or drank too much water. Importantly, try to find a balance. Additionally, if your urine is light colour or clear, it is a signal you are drinking enough water. But if otherwise, you better start drinking water before you plead for dehydration to leave you.



Health is wealth!

Photos: Laying Of The Altar At The New CCC LIBERTY PARISH In Lagos

CCC LIBERTY PARISH is the new parish that emerged from CCC ARAROMI GLORIOUS PARISH due to a crisis. Here are some photos from the successful laying of the altar at the new site earlier today.

Congratulations to the shepherd and entire members of CCC Liberty Parish a.k.a.Land Of Grace!

News: Crisis In CCC Araromi Glorious Parish in Lagos...

This is a throw back picture of 2015 before the crisis started (The shepherd,secretary of the parish and a member of the congregation celebrating their birthdays on a sunday during service).

The ongoing crisis of this parish has been on for several months now (since late last year). It all started when the shepherd who was newly posted to the parish early last year wanted to dissolve the parochial committee of the parish because they have been in office for five years instead of the usual two years tenure. His decision was apparently not welcomed by them. After then, strong allegations were laid against the shepherd by some elders, members of the parochial committee and some youth.They wanted the shepherd to be removed from the parish at all cost!Not minding the fact that he is yet to complete his required two years in the parish. This generated a lot of heat in the church, so much that several elders in celestial church especially those from the international headquarters in Ketu tried on several occasions to resolve the issue in the parish but to no avail. It then escalated to the point of division between members of the parish;those who are in full support of the shepherd because they believe he is innocent of the many allegations against him and  the others who strongly want the shepherd out of the parish for reasons best known to them.

Close to two months now, the parish has been having two different services at the same time. The group against the shepherd worship at the smaller church while those with the shepherd worship on the floor in front of the locked cathedral. See pictures below

Recent information coming from a reliable source says the shepherd's group have broken out of the parish and are relocating to a new piece of  land where they will have their first service tomorrow sunday 3rd April. As a matter of fact, they have a new parish name and are laying the altar today at the new site. The other group are moving back from the smaller church to the cathedral too.

It's really sad it resulted to this but i believe God's eyes is seeing all our works and he is the only one who will rightly judge all.

Best wishes to both parishes(old and new). I guess now peace will reign and there will be no hassles anymore.

Happy Month Of April People!!!

After the Easter celebrations,the month of April represents the beginning of the second quarter of the year 2016. May we all experience next great levels in all our endeavors this new month and beyond in Jesus Name, Amen.

Wishing you all a splendid and wonderful April ahead!!
