Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens. Take a deep breath and focus on what’s really important.

To enjoy the rainbow, first enjoy the rain. To be kind is more important than to be right. Be kind to your mind.

It is the hard days, the times that challenge you to your very core, that determine who you are.

People who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashes, it’s not everything you should respond to.

Every sunset is uniquely beautiful, and so are you. The Lord restates…

Good morning. Have a blessed Thursday

Be yourself because everyone else is already taken, you cannot function well when you are trying to be someone else or running someone else race, when you don’t maintain your lane you can be run over.

Everyone is them, no one can be you because you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

You will face many defeats in life when running your race but never let yourself be defeated because you are unique.

The Lord strengthens. Good morning and it is Wednesday……

The management of National Examination Council (NECO), has appealed to the Plateau State Government to intervene by assisting parents to register students in this examination session.

This, according to the team, was imperative considering the hardship caused by subsidy removal, making it difficult for parents to pay their children NECO Examination for this year academic session.

Led by the Plateau State Coordinator, National Examination Council (NECO) Office Jos, Mr. Donald A. Adi, on a courtesy visit to the office of the State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Ephraim Usman, Wednesday, the team solicited for synergy between them.

While stating their reasons for the visit, the State Coordinator, commended the Time Is Now Administration for its development strides noting that, they deliberately choose to register their advocacy to the Commissioner’s office because of the importance they accorded the office.

He said, “NECO is here to seek synergy with you and to complement your outstanding performance in the area of education and scholarship. We wish to appeal for your support in our advocacy to assist in mobilizing patronage for our services.

“If it will be possible, Sir, government should register indigenous candidates in all state public schools for NECO SSCE. It will alleviate the hardship faced by parents due to subsidy removal”, Adi appealed.

Responding, the State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Ephraim Usman, appreciated them for thinking in that direction admitting that, there was hardship in the country and difficulties in parents upsetting tuition fees and registration for their wards.

He assured them that, government was going to look into it, discuss with the local government chairmen and see how it could push in such registration to alleviate the difficulties parents currently faced settling their children examination fees.

Usman, however, assured the team of their synergy describing the Governor as a man of vision, focused and determined leader, who was always deliberate about policies that touched the lives of his people.

Honesty is the foundation upon which integrity is built. It’s the unwavering commitment to truth, transparency, and authenticity.

When we choose honesty and integrity, we build trust with others. Earn respect from ourselves. Cultivate a clear conscience.

Develop strong character. In a world where compromise and shortcuts may seem tempting, remember that honesty and integrity are the ultimate currencies.

Invest in them, and you’ll reap a lifetime of rewards: a clear heart, a strong reputation, and the respect of those who matter most.

Stay true, stay honest, and stay integrity-driven. The world needs more of you.

Let your word be your bond. The Lord rewards. Good morning and have a blessed Tuesday…

We can’t control how others behave or the energy they bring, but we can control how we respond and regulate our energy.

Staying grounded in positive energy, despite external circumstances, is a hallmark of emotional intelligence, resilience, and spiritual maturity. By choosing to maintain our inner peace and positivity, we: Protect our mental and emotional well-being.

Set healthy boundaries. Inspire others through our calm and composed demeanor. Create a more harmonious and uplifting environment.Stay positive and avoid drama.

The Lord said “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them”.

Good morning and a blessed Monday…

The world is full of people who quickly give up at the slightest pull, whose determination is short-lived by circumstance.

But nature celebrates refreshing souls who believe in rising above the occasion, those who look beyond limitations, these are strong-willed eagles who refuse to be bothered by the negativism and skepticism of the world!

They believe that mediocrity must be crushed and that confrontation must first take place in the mind, which is the place of endless and limitless possibilities.

Some people dream of accomplishing great things. Others wake up and make it happen. The Lord affirms.

Good morning and a blessed Monday..

It’s a new month of March 2025! A new month brings new opportunities, new blessings, and a fresh start!

Take a moment to reflect on the blessings in your life and express gratitude to God in thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is the language of heaven, and it has been from the beginning. It’s a powerful spiritual practice that opens our hearts to the goodness of God and helps us cultivate a deeper sense of gratitude and trust.

May this month be filled with joy, abundance of grace, peace of mind, and prosperity!

The Lord said “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name.”

Good morning and a blessed Sunday!

Oh! What a beautiful thing to behold a new Month! God deserves our appreciation.

Thank God for all the blessings and all the danger that He caused you and your family to escape from January till date!

It’s been God all the way! Joy and happiness belong to those who are sufficient unto themselves and full of praises to God!

For all external sources of happiness and pleasure are, by their very nature, highly uncertain, precarious, ephemeral and subject to change, that you can’t control but you can control what happens within you!!

Choose to be happy and thank God for the gift of this beautiful Month full of Joy, Abundance, Happiness and positive surprises! The Lord Leads. Happy New Month!!

Learn to accept rather than expect, and you will have far fewer disappointments.

You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you, rather you will be criticized by someone who is doing less than you.

Never you post your achievements, post jokes and stupid stuffs, let them think you have no future, as some people hate progress.

If you don’t come from rich family, rich family must come from you.There is nothing in this world that can trouble you as much as your own thoughts.

Surround yourself with what makes you happy. Forget about the girls and focus on one woman, she will help you to achieve everything.

We all feel lost sometimes.The Lord assures.Gudmoni. Thank God it is Friday.
