The song is fresh, soulful, and touches your spirit. Regardless of your belief or denomination, you can relate to the lyrics. The vocals are flawless and smooth. Its one of those songs that you will put in your playlist and listen over and over again while singing along and praising God. Wow! Its possible too because you can download the song.  As a reminder, see the video below. Watch, leave your comments, share, download and spread the word cos we should support true talent. 

How to Attract a Man AKA How to Attract Masculine Energy Into Your Life

So Iyanla Vanzant is one of my favourite people. My view is that she is skilled, gifted, and blessed at what she does. 

Here she is telling single women how to attract masculine energy i.e. a good man into their lives. It is priceless and something you should be paying for, but you can get it here for free. Watch it, share it, and leave your comments below.

Best wishes. 

5 signs you're her "FAUX-BOYFRIEND"

One of the cruelest things a woman can do to a guy, is to know that he has a soft spot for her and believes in her niceness, but will use that to sweetly use him as a way to pass the time and help do odd-jobs, and to keep him hanging. She also offers nothing in return apart from empty words. A fake friendship of one-sided convenience. In short, you are her go-to person, her Man Friday.

In such cases, the best thing you can do yourself is simply this – save yourself before the inevitable showdown, take the higher ground and cut off ties. Do this not to get back at her, but to simply realise that you are not getting younger and you should be focusing your efforts and energies on a girl that truly feels for you and reciprocates. Here are some of the signs that you are being royally used. It’s important that you learn to read these signs, because she will never tell you the same in a blunt manner. After all, why would she give up the opportunity of having a glorified servant for free?

1. She wants a lot of space
Are you friends with someone who calls and messages you often or wants to meet you only when in need and having done that, ignores you for a week or so, before the Next Big Emergency? Every time she ignores you or pushes you away, you may find yourself falling more madly in love with her. On the other hand, she’s probably not only playing you like a puppet, but having sex with other guys who probably don’t treat her even half as nice as you do. Remember this – when a girl claims to really like you, but avoids you for stretches of time despite claiming to “never get tired of spending time with you” there’s a good chance there’s another guy in her life and that given the opportunity, she will be sleeping with him. Save yourself for a better woman.

Candid Camera!!! Police officer negotiating bribe with a motorist [VIDEO]

         

This is something that happens everyday yea? But it's so disgusting when watched on candid camera.

The police officer in the video tries to extort 25k from this man, and the sharp guy quietly records it and uploads on Youtube. 

I hear the Nigerian Police has arrested this officer, according to reports on their Facebook page. 

What do you think about the video and how should the erring police officer be dealt with? 

Spirit and Life Devotional: Angels on Assignment

The words of God are "things", spiritually speaking; so are our words. When words are spoken, they are not just sounds, they are collected, stored and can be retrieved. Jesus said the words He speaks are spirit. Do you understand?

Whenever God speaks, angels are responsible for the fulfilment of His words. As soon as the word is spoken, they act swiftly on it and ensure that it is either delivered or fulfilled. And they are strong enough to ensure that whatever God says is done exactly as He said it and on time too. Joel 2:11 says that the troops that carry out God's commands are mighty. And Psalm 103:20 says, "Praise the LORD, you angels of his, you powerful warriors, who carry out his decrees and obey his orders!" Hallelujah!

Tweet(s) of the day

I can't stop laughing, but I have to, so that I can type. This is hilarious!!!

So Globacom recently dropped some old Nollwood ambassadors, cos they recently signed on naija singers. 360nobs boss, Noble Igwe tweeted the news with a rather condescending headline referring to the Nollywood celebs as "Has-Beens". Rita Dominic, one of the ex-ambassadors, replied his tweet with finesse. LOL

Do you agree with Rita Dominic?

Barcelona striker, Cesc fabregas "steals" Lebanese Millionaires wife and house

Rihanna lets loose at Barbados carnival

Rihanna was in rare form while making an appearance at the Crop Over Festival in her hometown Barbados. The 25-year-old, whose love of partying is almost as well known as her hit songs, attended the Fourday Morning Jam event and let's just say her presence didn't go unnoticed.

While her outfit was out there, Rihanna was thoughtful with her footwear — Converse sneakers. It turned out to be a very smart decision because she was on all fours on the ground at one point twerking with her gal pals. Naturally, a crowd formed around her while she showed off her risqué moves.

I love it when Riri keeps it real, and I love the fact that she goes back to Barbados every year for the carnival.

Spirit and Life Devotional: Rapture Ready?

We can talk about dominion, talk about success, prosperity, wisdom, faith, and so on, but we must not forget to remind ourselves that we are pilgrims here on earth, and that this place, no matter how comfortable we may have become in it, isn't our permanent place.

There's life after physical death: spirits don't disappear, evaporate, go into extinction, nor become annihilated; they live forever - in Heaven with God or in the Lake of Fire along with Satan and other fallen angels.

Spirit and Life Devotional: Know What Is Yours In Christ

It will be so difficult to possess and enjoy what you don't even know belongs to you. In other words, you'll hardly have faith for what you're ignorant of, since faith is activated by knowledge. Lack of knowledge of what's yours will make you beg for it!

They are certain things that are available for us in Christ already. They belong to us now and we don't have to do anything to have them, except to believe for them. You don't have to pray to have them, just to know them, believe, and receive them. 1 Corinthians 2:12 says we have received God's Spirit (not the world's spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. Hallelujah!

Spirit and Life Devotional: Receiving The Word

The word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

No doubt, the word of God is powerful; but what baffles me is the fact that though some people keep hearing the word day in and day out, on and on, there's hardly a noticeable change in their lives, lifestyle and situations.

In the News: A Man Passes Out Drunk and Wakes Up With No Penis

This crazy news was reported by Huffington Post:

"And you thought losing your car keys was bad.

Dominican man Geraldo Ramos told local TV station Noticias Sin this week that he passed out drunk and woke up with no penis.

How to Eat More and Still Lose Weight

By Jay P. Granat, Ph.D.

Many people who want to lose weight do not really understand the mathematics of weight loss.

Early in my career, I directed the counseling program at a hospital based program where we treated more than four thousand obese and overweight patients. Understanding the mechanics and techniques of losing weight was quite important for those patients and it may be important for you or for someone you are concerned about.

Spirit and Life Devotional: A Divine Set Up

A DIVINE SET UP

For a long time, Pharaoh wouldn't let the Israelites leave Egypt, despite the wonders God used Moses and Aaron to perform before him. Pharaoh would have thought himself to be strong and powerful, he didn't realise that he was divinely set up. His heart was hardened so that God would demonstrate His power in that land.

If the world knew, they wouldn't dare to attempt to mess up a believer! 2 Chronicles 16:9 says that the eyes of the Lord runs to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him. God will always come to our aid! Woe unto the man who tries to frustrate a child of God!

12 Fun Ways to Pop the Question

by Lydia J.T.

Asking your partner to marry you should be a memorable experience, but what if you don't have enough cash to hire a plane and pop the question in the clouds? If you're feeling the pinch, but still looking for something pretty special, then turning to the internet and social media may just be the solution. The internet provides a vast opportunity when it comes to asking someone to stay with you forever, but by far the most difficult challenge when using the internet is to make the experience feel romantic. 

Face to face is by far the most romantic way to propose but with some extra effort and thought it can still be achieved. A romantic experience by definition can mean different things to different people, so whether you're a pizza fanatic, love New York, brilliant at building WordPress sites, or have great persuasion skills, the internet may just be your key to rocking your partners world.

Here are the 12 ways you can pop the question...

'A Bullet For The Pope" - Written by Charly Boy

Nigeria's most controversial entertainer, His Royal Punkness "Charly Boy" wrote this piece inspired by Pope Francis' controversial statement on gay priests.  Read and drop your comments...

The first 20yrs of my life, I seriously had this dream of being a priest. I was overfed with an overdose of religion which has always been a very serious business in my family. You dare not be late for morning mass or else you get the whipping of your life, yes my father was that strict, no nonsense when it came to going to church or anything spiritual. That’s where I’m coming from, we were a family that prayed together and were very staunch Catholics for that matter. 

When I turned 16 I became an altar boy, at that time that was the coolest thing to be, considering years of going to bible classes and regular confessions. Eight months into the spiritual things as an altar boy, I made a big goof; I drank the priests wine and ate a bunch of Holy Communion enough to fill me up. I figured I could be more spiritual by that action, but I got expelled as an altar boy, needless to say how scandalized and angry my father was then, OMG. 

Rihanna gets a major haircut...goes short and curly

Spirit and Life Devotional: It's In You

Many people out there are searching for some 'special' wisdom and 'superior' knowledge, sadly they are looking in the wrong places. What's even more troubling is the fact that not all 'believers' uphold the Scriptures as final authority on all matters of life; to them, they have an 'open mind'. I pray for them.

Colossians 2:3 says that in Christ Jesus are stored all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Hallelujah! The number of people who believe it, the calibre of the people who believe it, and for how long it has been believed don't matter if it didn't originate from Christ - all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Christ alone; anything from anywhere else is rubbish!

Royal Baby Domain Names Snatched Up by Cybersquatters!!!

Do you remember where you were and what you were doing when the royal baby name was announced?

Well, I remember – I was busy trying to post the news of the name to the blog! Bad move.

For other people around the world, as soon as the name was announced they went online and bought domain names relating to the royal baby. Take for instance www.princegeorgeofcambridge.org and www.georgealexanderlouis.com were bought within moments of the announcement. Other variations have also been bought up as well. The owner of one of the domains has put it up for sale for £10,000 (that is ten thousand pounds).

Who Would Have Thought? Rolling Stone Wins With Controversial Cover

The last issue of the Rolling Stone magazine had a picture of the Boston bomber on the cover. Some people felt that it glamorized the bomber while some felt it was insensitive to the victims.

Some major retailers refused to stock the issue because of the controversy.

It turns out that the issue sold more than double the magazine’s usual sales for the past few years. Adweek reported that people bought more than 13,000 copies of the mag from 1,400 retailers from July 19 – 29.

I guess they won with the controversial cover, eh?

Report: Keeping Up With the Kardashian's Is Coming to An End? [VIDEO]

Is Jealousy ruining your relationship?

Jealousy has been an issue in relationships right from the garden of Eden. That feeling of suspicion or fear of being replaced by a rival. Men and women alike are victims of jealousy. Though it is globally believed that women are the jealous once, i personally believe that men are more jealous than women. Shoot me!

A little jealousy, they say, is good for a relationship. The reason being that it gives that feeling of worth, that your partner values you and is scared of losing you. 

I guess no girl will appreciate her man to be nonchalant about her affairs; who her friends are, who she spends time with, where she goes to, and all that. Everyone wants to have a sense of belonging. 

 Too much jealousy, on the other hand, could be  a big issue. Some people let jealousy suffocate their relationships to death – and for some it can even be physically dangerous. It could escalate to a very sticky situation.  

Happy New Month Wonderful People!

Happy New Month Friends, 

I'm so excited about the new month. I like new beginnings. 

I am delirious that this month will be fantastic for you. 

Speak into your month, don't just take things as they come. 

Write your vision for the month and work towards them. Fix your eyes on God. Nothing is impossible with Him. Any success you feel you didn't record in July, just let it go, this month will be smashing. 

God said in His word that He daily loaded us with benefits. I pray you take practical delivery of all the daily benefits for this month. Wouldn't it be amazing to receive 31 wonderful surprises?? :) Oh yes, what joy that would be.

Let me share with you my bible verse for the month...

 1 Corinthians 2:9

 " But, as it is written, no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him” (ESV)

This time next month you'll have a major testimony to share. Amen. 

Have a blast!!!!

Spirit and Life Devotional: Stewards Of Grace

There's no useless person or member of the Body of Christ, not because we are all talented, but because God gave everyone of us grace to do something. Adult, children, men, women, able and disabled - everyone is useful and relevant in the church. Romans 12:6 says that God in His kindness gave each of us different gifts.

Now, 1 Peter 4:10 says, "As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." Therefore, being a good steward entails ministering to others with the gift that God has blessed you with. Refusing to use your own gift makes you a bad steward. I pray you're not one. Don't bury your gift!
