.FIVE PRINCIPLES OF STEWARDSHIP

FIVE PRINCIPLES OF STEWARDSHIP

Stewardship is best defined as the use of God given resources for the accomplishment of God given goals. Therefore ,the teaching on Stewardship is the teaching about our relationship to invest whatever resource God  has given  us wisely and purposely in service to God and humanity.
  Our time on earth and our energy, intelligence, opportunities, relationships and all gifts from God. He has entrusted them to our care and management. We never really own anything during our brief stay on earth. God just loans us the earth while we are here. It was God's property before you arrived, and God will loan it to someone else when we  die. There are basically 12principles  of stewardship.
PRINCIPLE NO1:OUR LIVES BELONG TO GOD: We are God's property. We are not our own and we don't belong to ourselves, so the life we have we are given, for a season and for a purpose. We must understand this.
God owns us, he owns our bodies and our body is his. This body belongs to God, because he made us. God made us for one purpose and that purpose was'' for his pleasure''. The stewardship  of life is by living your life for the very purpose God made you. If your life does not portray this purpose then you would have missed the very essence of life.
PRINCIPLE NO2:NOTHING THAT WE HAVE THAT IS OURS: God gave man stewardship of the earth, and not ownership of it. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. We are managers and caretakers of any resource God has taken into our hands. God owns everything but he called us to take care of it on his behalf "The earth is the LORD'S and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein" Psalm 24;1
PRINCIPLE NO3:WHATEVER YOU DONT USE ,YOU LOOSE: This is a natural law, whatever you don't use depreciates in value. For instance the easiest way to damage a machine is to leave it redundant without greasing or any sort of maintenance over a period of time. When you are not adding value you are depreciating and the more you depreciates the more you loose the special gift or talent divinely given to you by God to glorify him.
PRINCIPLE NO4:THERE IS NOBODY WITHOUT A GIFT: There is nobody without ability; everyone has something to offer. It has proven that each person each person at least twenty-six unique abilities. Our potentials is God's gift to us and what we do with our potentials, is our gift to him. Zig Ziglar said," You are the only person on earth who can use your ability." So are you investing what you have been given, regardless of how much it is ? Or,have you buried your blessings and kept it hidden from others.
PRINCIPLE NO5:THE END PRODUCT OF STEWARDSHIP IS MULTIPLICATION: The purpose of stewardship is not just to maintain, but to multiply what God has given to us. Productivity and fruitfulness is required of us.

INDECENT DRESSING:THE DEVALUE OF WOMANHOOD

INDECENT DRESSING: THE DEVALUE OF WOMANHOOD




 
The rate of indecent dressing has greatly increased in recent years. This degrading behavior is seen at every nook and cranny of our every day society. In the church and other public places, you will men and women (especially women)dress indecently. Even modern day musicians exploit this trend of indecent dressing to promote and sell their music .A look at the picture above ,will showcase the low value in which some women place on themselves. Wouldn't this young lady be termed a prostitute?. Any wise man in his correct senses will never approach this kind of  a girl for a meaningful relationship that would finally end up in marriage. This is because this lady dressed indecently and only men with depraved minds would approach her for only one thing "SEX". Term it whatever you like, the way you dress, is proportional to the way you would be addressed. 50% of rape cases now in a high trend in this country ,is traced to indecent dressing. There are many reasons a woman should not dress indecently .I  would  highlight them briefly.
   (1) Indecent dressing brings down the value of a woman: Most men view woman that dress indecently as prostitutes .No matter how good  or well mannered a lady is , they view such women as   sex symbols that are always there to satisfy their sexual urge. A man that sees a lady with her boobs and bum heavily exposed, always has that negative picture of her as a prostitute or a latrine in which his sexual lusts are always fulfilled whenever he approaches her. No wonder this negative saying among most men that "All women are the same" in terms of being loose . In the real sense not all women are the same because they are some ladies that value themselves greatly and dresses properly.
 Also in our tertiary institutions, you hardly see cultists chase ladies that dress decently ,they always go for the so called loose ones who dress indecently. A lecturer  is hardly interested in ladies that are decent in their dressing ,but use any means within their power to sleep with those that dress indecently even to the extent making them to stay for donkey years in school until they succumb to their demands. All these Nigerian artistes that use almost naked women to promote their music example Iyanya and whizkid e.t.c. can never approach a lady that knows her true worth and dresses properly to dance almost naked for them on stage. What for???? he would be afraid of being insulted by the lady for taking her for a prostitute. They would always go for the ones that derive joy in dressing almost nude.
  (2)Indecent dressing is a sin before God: The Bible condemned immorality and indecent dressing in 2corinthians6:19 and "Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God; You do not belong to yourselves but to God". Verse 20 says "He has bought you for a price. So use your body for God's glory". A lady that dresses indecently does not glorify God with her body. God sees the body of man as a temple in which his spirit resides and guides man to what he wants man to be. A woman that dresses indecently does not showcase
the presence of  God and I doubt the spirit of  God has his temple in the body of such a person because the lady does not show his glory. To every lady, it is how you dress that shows your worth
Dress properly!!!!

7THINGS THAT DAMAGES THE LIVER

SEVEN THINGS THAT DAMAGES THE LIVER


The Liver is the largest internal organ of the body and is involved in more than 500 functions of the body including digestion,metabolism, nutrient storage and removal of toxins. There are several things that cause liver damage
(1)ALCOHOL: Alcohol consumption is the most cause of liver damage. When one drinks alcohol, the  liver gets diverted from its other functions and focus mainly on converting alcohol into a less toxic form. Absorption of alcohol by the liver causes fatty liver disease ,inflammation of the liver and cirrhosis.
(2)OBESITY: People who are obese, have amounts of body fat which tend to accumulate around the liver causing what is known as fatty liver disease. Obesity is also linked to cirrhosis
(3).DIABETES: Having diabetes increases the risk of liver disease by 50%.People with diabetes due to insulin resistance have high levels of insulin in their blood. This causes liver to store fat internally, causing liver disease.
(4)HIGH SALT INTAKE: High salt intake is well known to increase blood pressure, but can also cause fatty liver disease by building up fluid in the liver(water retention)and swelling it up.
(5) SMOKING: Although cigarette smoke does not have a direct effect on liver function,harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke increases oxidative stress of the system after reaching the liver, causing irreversible damage to the liver cells .
(6)OVERUSE OF MEDICATION: Overuse of over-the-counter drugs and certain prescription drugs known to cause liver damage. Some of these drugs include anti depressants, mood stabilizers, corticosteroids(used in treating inflammation) and pain relievers. It's therefore important to review the side effects and adverse effects of medication before taking them.
(7)NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS: Research suggests that dietary or nutritional supplements can increase the production of certain liver enzymes when taken in excess amounts causing liver damage. A well known cause of toxicity is overdose of vitamin A
