THE
BEAUTY OF YOUR TALENT
A gift
like no other, strictly from God to man. “Talent” Talent is a natural ability
to do something. Beauty (the quality of being pleasing to the sense or to
mind).Most often people tend to love other people’s talent and never want to
discover their own talents. Thereby, loving other people’s talent and wanting
to be like them. Moreover their talent might even be better than what some
people think. In (Luke 19:11-26), the servant that used their pound gained
extra and were rewarded by their master and the one that did not use it was punished.
You have to discover your talent to be able to do God’s will,. This is to say
that your talent will give you the sense to do the right things.
The beauty of your talent can only be seen when
you know your talent and use it well. Your talent will make people look up to
you and know you are doing what you are called for. If you know and master your
talent, you can do anything because even Jesus himself said he has commanded us
to go to the world and has given us the power (matthew28:18-20).
Your Talent is your
key to heaven, use it well.

PASSION FOR FASHION
I make it decent, but cute, simple and nice. I Love
fashion so much or should I say I have this passion for fashion, that even in
this environment were indecent dressings are not allowed, I never loose my
passion for fashion.
Most
people think or believe that fashion is putting on indecent cloths like[mini
skirt, sleeveless cloths, torn cloths e.t.c] , in a stylish way is fashion ,
but I Still add fashion to my dressing in Madonna University were indecency in prohibited.
Although
we do not wear sleeveless cloths, short skirts e.t.c .
I make a good combination of cloths that are allowed.
I put on my tube gown with jacket, for my long gowns I make them shaped and
sexy for skirt I sew them long and straight to bring out my shape.
Although, coloured hairs are not allowed, I still make
my hair with natural colours but combine them in a decent manner. For my attachment,
I use black and brown or Gold. If am to fix I use black weavon that tips are
brown so it is not too noticeable. Shouty contacts for the eyes are not allowed,
I still fix but with neutral colours like honey, grey and pure black.
Slippers are not allowed from Monday to Wednesday [Coporate].
I look the best although I don’t put on shoe and wear suit. I wear sandals with
the little cutest bow on top and Chiffon cloth. Either I tock in or fly out and
still look the best in school and even more coporate than those that put on
suit
So
if you have the passion for fashion like me, Madonna is a stepping stone not a
barrier for your fashion.

THANKSGIVING
AS A DIMENSION OF FAITH
“The doctor asked Diana, what will you
like to say before you are being taken to the theatre, and she blessed God, thanking
him for a successful operation even when she was yet to be operated upon .This
astonished the surgeon and he went in for the operation which was very
successful. By Diana’s combination of faith and thanksgiving, the doctor and
people around wanted to know and serve this god who had done it for her”.
The topic “faith” is not new to us, but
we shall be viewing it from a different angle which involves thanksgiving.
Faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).it entails taking a
leap into darkness. This is because when you have faith on God, you may not know
where the answer or the dimension where your prayers will get answers from.
Thanksgiving then is a show of
appreciation to god for what he has done and what he is yet to do.
It is our responsibility as
Christians to always give thanks to god in the face of any or all
situation.(1thessalonia 5:15).
HOW THEN CAN WE COMBINE BOTH?
From the story of Diana, she had
faith that the operation was going to be successful, but further expressed more
by giving thanks to the father.
The exam timetable is out and there is
tension in the air, so many people are afraid because of inadequate
preparation, some people’s faith are shaking already, am i going to pass at
all? God ooo!!! I am in final year please oo!!
But I come to you with a charge and
that is to combine your faith with thanksgiving. I don’t know how many of us
that knows that thanksgiving is the highest form of expressing faith.
This is because we are rooted in
faith and thus, abound in thanksgiving(Colossians 2:7).tell yourself that the
lord has taken charge of the exams and school fees issues and give thanks to
him. Instead of shaking in fear about the situations around you, thank him for
answering your prayers even when he is yet to answer your prayers because
thanksgiving is towards the past and faith is to the future. When you thank him
for something even before the answer comes, you propel god to consider that
expectation as a past or a done deal.
Faith can be grown by thanksgiving
because the greater your thanksgiving, the greater your faith grows. For as
many of us children of god who desire the growth in fact, it can be achieved by
combining it with thanksgiving (2 Thessalonians 1:3).
