NO MORE STATUES QUO
The last days of each passing year is always a solemn moment of sober reflection for me. As I try to catch the events of the out going year in retrospect. It is a time of appraisal, when I take stock of all the activities of the last 365 days - the ups and downs, the failures and successes, defeats and victories and so on. It is also a time to chart a new course that will see me through the next 365 days of life just like many others do.
The reason we need to chart a course for ourselves is because no matter how wonderful and intrinsically exciting the previous year was, the truth is that you cannot have them again. Another is that we can’t continue to do things the same way and expect a different result. Therefore it will do those who live a care free life with a deep rooted philosophy of “life goes on,” a whole lot of good to equally have a rethink and get their arsenal ready to combat against status-quo, so as to fight it to a stand still.
Change is one thing they say is inevitable, yet we fight it to finish any time it reared up its head. Year 2011 is another year to say no to anything that will not allow the hand of God to move in our midst.
Am looking forward to experiencing God like never before in every facet of my life - spiritually, physically, mentally, socially. I say it again to you, No More Statues Quo!

YOUR LIFE AS A BOOK
YOUR LIFE AS A BOOK
You life is a book in the making; and like every book, the chapter called 2010 has been written and closed. A new one 2011 is opened waiting for us to inscribe on its pages the words that’ll impact positively on all the generations of human race.
Your live is a book in progress and we all are authors of this book. There are some few unique things about these books each of us are writing: (a) the content are not hand written with pen but by our deeds and action (b) every second of our lives is the syllable of this book, every minute is a word, every hour is a paragraph, every day is a page and each year is a new chapter.
2011 has opened a new chapter in this life book. As the author what do you intend to write on its pages? You no longer have your yesterdays (past), but you have today and the future to contend with. Your attitude or approach to life will determine what the content of this new chapter will look like at the end the year 2011. Make sure that your goals, plans and focus are geared toward making a master piece that can make you a best seller.
Allow the experiences of yester-years to guide your steps. It won’t be a mistake but foolishness if you fall victim of same kind of trouble that brought you down to the dust the last time. Above all trust the spirit of God to lead the way. Don’t rush into things only to regret at last. “For you shall not go out in haste, and you shall not go in flight; for the Lord will go before you, and the Lord of Israel will be your rear guard.
So if you desire to publish a good book and become a best seller make Jesus your editor. Take all those plans, goals, resolutions and heart desire in your manuscript to him for editing. Don’t publish any page without him editing it. In other words, don’t go out any day without telling him to guide your steps, He is waiting for you.

GOALS ORIENTED LIFE
GOALS ORIENTED LIFE
When a new year begins, it is a normal habit that many people will make resolutions. But most times these resolutions don’t work because of lack of goal setting.
A resolution can never stand where there are no goals. In order word, you can never stick to your New Year resolution if you have no aim Pro 29:15
Goal setting is very important in order to achieve much in life. These goals can be broken down into daily or weekly target. Then you have to persevere, be determined and get committed to your daily targets in order to achieve your goals.
It is essential to note that you have to paint a metal picture for your world. This will change the way you act, the way you treat people and how they respond back to you. And most importantly, your performance and results will change positively.
When you think and visualize your major goals often and how to achieve them, your reticular content will become very alert, this makes you to start articulating the law of attraction which helps you to be intensely aware and alert to opportunities, ideals, information, resources and people that will help you achieve your goals more rapidly.
In conclusion, conceive ideas, aim high and dream big, set big goals, believe that it’s possible and then make it happen. Never forget to commit your work to God Proverbs 16:3, Psalms 37:23

TRUE LOVE WAITS AT ANY AGE
TRUE LOVE WAITS AT ANY AGE
By Beverly J. Anderson
Sex belongs within marriage. Adults tell teens and youths “Just say no, true love waits!!” The wise person adds, “…….at any age”
Every married adult may one day be single again through divorce or death of a spouse. Single adults need to heed the same massages because the risks and the consequences are grave ….at any age.
Singles of all ages can agree on methods to diffuse situations which may lead to sexual intimacy. Here are some ways to help:
• Plan carefully where you will meet and have a clear goal or objective for such meeting
• Refrain from watching suggestive movies or listening to music with sexually based lyrics.
• Ask friends to hold you responsible for your commitment to chastity.
• Employ diffusers for heated emotions - walk at a moderate pace, pay attention to animal, work on a project, eat a snack or meal, study and meditate on the word of God.
Make it your goal to learn about God and people around you, to abstain from sex before marriage, and then to enjoy sex in marriage as God intended with his blessing. Remember, marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral (Heb. 13: 4 NIV)

New Year Resolution; facts & Fuss
NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS: FACTS & FUSS
In space, the earth is understood to revolve around the sun on its axis, of which a complete cycle of revolution results in a full year. Heralding the inception of a new year, several people usually come up with a-to-do-list popularly called NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
A resolution is a firm decision to do or not to do something. This quality is intended to tailor one’s life according to a set of standards. However its obvious values and potency have been emasculated by one or two persons reneging on their decisions.
Standards are important for a well structured and disciplined life. As Christians, our standard is Jesus Christ (Heb 12:2). So whether or not there’s much fuss about resolutions, the fact remains that with discipline every resolution is achievable.
