HE KNEW THE PSALM BUT HE KNEW THE SHEPHERD(THE DIFFRENCE WAS CLEAR)
There was once a Shakespearian Actor who was known every where for his one man show of reading and recitation from the Classics. He would always end his performance with a dramatic reading of Psalm23.Each night, without exception, the Actor began his recitation " The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want-----" The crowd would listen attentively and then at the conclusion of the Psalm, They would rise in thunderous applause in appreciation of the Actor's incredible ability to bring the verse to life.But one night ,just before the actor was about to offer his customary recital of Psalm23 ,A young man from the audience spoke up, "Sir ,do you mind if tonight I recite Psalm23?"The actor was quite taken a back by this unusual request ,but he allowed the young man to come forward and to stand front and Centre of the stage to recite the Psalm, knowing that the ability of the unskilled youth would be no match for his own talent.
With a soft voice ,the young man began to recite the words of the Psalm. When he finished, there was no standing ovation as on the other nights. All that could be heard was weeping. The Audience was moved by the young man's recitation that every eye was full of tears. Amazed at what he heard ,the Actor said to the youth, "I don't understand.\I have been performing Psalm 23 for years. I have a lifetime of experience and training ,but I have never moved an audience as you have tonight. Tell me what ,what is your secret? "The young man humbly replied,"well sir,you know the Psalm---- but I know the shepherd".One cant fully impart a maximum impact on the lives of men if he does not have a personal encounter with the Good Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ if he or she have a personal encounter through constant fellowship with him.Hearing about the savior through biblical stories and religious doctrines, can never usher one into a blissful experience of knowing him but a personal encounter through the daily reading of his word the bible and constant worship and prayers does. You want to know the shepherd? fervently seek to have an encounter with him and you wont regret you did.

I WILL SERVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
I WILL SERVE YOU FOREVER!!!!
During the years when slavery was legal in the United states, A Gentleman happened to witness a Slave biding in a crowded street .As he watched from the edge of the crowd to observe the activities, He saw one slave to another led onto a platform their arms and legs with ropes as if they were animals
Displayed among the jeering crowd, was a young female slave standing at the back, her eyes tilted with fear and looked so frightened. The Gentleman hesitated for a moment and then disappeared briefly. When he returned, The Auctioneer was about to start with the biding of the young Girl he had noticed before hand. As the Auctioneer started the biding, the Gentleman shouted out a bid that was twice the amount of any selling price offered that day. There was silence for an instance, and the gavel fell as" sold to the Gentleman". The rope that bound her was handed to the Gentleman who accepted it without saying anything. The young girl stared at the ground ,Suddenly looked up and spat in his face. Silently, he reached for a handkerchief and wiped the spittle from his face. He smiled gently and said "follow me". This the slave girl did reluctantly.
In the slave years, there were legal documents called "manumission papers" which was obtained upon the purchase of a slave. These Papers were necessary documents those days. The Gentleman paid the purchase price and the necessary documents. when the transaction was complete, he turned to the girl and presented the documents to her. Startled ,she looked at him with uncertainty .Her narrowed eyes asked "what are you doing", The Gentleman responded to her questioning look. He said "Here are the papers.I bought them to set you free As long as you have these papers in your possession, no man can ever make you a slave again"The slave girl was surprised and shocked beyond words, for she kept on saying the words of the Gentleman "you bought me to set me free?". As she began to grasp at the significance of the documents she now held,She fell to her knees and wept at the Gentleman's feet and with tears of gratitude she said" you bought to set me free? I will serve you forever" .Jesus paid such a price for us when he shed his blood on the cross for our sins at Calvary. That's what the Bible called Redemption.

WILL THE ESTABLISHMENT OF STATE POLICE BE A FINAL SOLUTION IN COMBATING TERRORISM IN THE COUNTRY
WILL THE ESTABLISHMENT OF STATE POLICE BE A FINAL SOLUTION IN COMBATING CRIME AND TERRORISM IN THE COUNTRY??
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vcsokqRWtcadL6YUjdQLsJXMEwNmQBqTPOIYSNc3dHShlxaJrjcK-90IHXeO4jXmymJBNouQrmMHlhOJVPkbQTYKM9iGUSegotvHC-9krSpz5Dew=s0-d)
Recently among Nigerians, the subject of discussion is the establishment of state police in the country. This subject currently on the front burner, has divided Nigerians into two major groups, those that support its establishment and those that don't. These two groups always confront each other with aggressive points like Gladiators on a Entertainment Arena. The groups are frequently seen in our newspaper stands, workplaces and even in the three tiers of Government each championing the Merits and Demerits of it.
But the issue is, will the establishment of State Police be a final solution to the increasing crime rate and terrorism that is plaguing the land or will its establishment further worsen it?
Its supporters see it as a means of curbing the high rate of unemployment, that is terrorizing the Nation with impunity . They also see it as a means of providing employment to able bodied youths in need of jobs and as a means of combating crime and terrorism. They feel that Police troops will be able and ready in fighting Criminals and terrorists with fastness and accuracy with State Police
Those that doesn't support it see it as a means of the State Police being used as political thugs during elections.They feel we are not yet matured to have one. But the issue is, will the establishment of State police give us the peace we need or destabilize us?It is like a puzzle without a solution at present. It is only time that will tell us whether we are matured for it or not.

He was also a source of inspiration to co-inmates who has given up on life.The Prison warden also loved and worship the ground he treaded on.This Commended act of leadership together with family members fight for his release, attracted the attention of President Obama who granted him a parole recently .He would be deported back to Nigeria before the year ends.

WOW!!! Meet The 2015 Guiness World Book of Records World Shortest Man !!!!!
Chandra Bahadur Dangi, one of the most iconic
record holders to have graced the pages of the Guinness World Records
book, sadly passed away earlier this month.
The Nepalese record holder was a
primordial dwarf, a condition that rarely sees people survive past
thirty, but Mr Dangi remarkably lived for 75 years and touched the world
with his strength and spirit.
At 54.6 cm (21.5 in) tall, and
weighing just 14.5 kg (31 lb 15.52 oz), Chandra held the prestigious
title of Shortest man living, and remains the Shortest man ever following an
official measurement at the CIWEC Clinic Travel Medicine Center in
Lainchaur, Kathmandu, Nepal on 26 February 2012.
Until his recognition by Guinness
World Records, Chandra had spent his entire life in the remote Nepalese
mountain village of Rhimkholi, about 250 miles west of Kathmandu. He
lived there with his five brothers (all of an average height) and made
his living weaving traditional Nepalese garments.
Chandra's home was so remote that
it wasn't until a forest contractor cutting timber in the village met
him and informed local media that his incredible size came to light.
Recalling the historic moment
Chandra was recognised as the shortest man on record, Craig Glenday,
Editor-in-Chief of Guinness World Records says:
“I had the honour of accepting Mr
Dangi’s invite to Kathmandu in 2012 to oversee his official
measurements. It was there that we stood in front of the world’s press
and announced his position as not only the shortest man living but the
shortest man ever measured in the 60-year history of Guinness World
Records.
“His life changed immeasurably
after his record was confirmed – he was showered with gifts and
invitations overseas, and he became an instant global celebrity. He
handled the media frenzy in his stride, and while he enjoyed the
accolade and recognition, he also understood what it meant for everyone
in Nepal to celebrate this iconic record.
Speaking at the time of Craig's
visit in 2012, Chandra said: "I'm very happy that I'm being recognised
by Guinness World Records and that my name will be written in the book.
It's a big thing for my family, my village and my country. I am very
happy.”
Above: Chandra alongside
Guinness World Records adjudicator Marco Frigatti and the Shortest
woman living Jyoti Amge (62.8 cm).
Chandra said that his Guinness
World Records recognition meant he “actually got the opportunity to
visit many places over the whole world, and meet many people”, adding
that that the love that was shown to him was immensely important to him.
In an extraordinary moment last
year, Chandra met fellow record-holder Sultan Kosan – the Tallest
man living (251 cm and four and a half times the size of
Chandra).
Speaking this week from his home in
Turkey, Sultan told of his sorrow upon learning of Chandra's passing.
"The news of Chandra's death saddens me deeply, may my fellow world
record holder rest in peace".
He
may now no longer be with us, but Craig says Chandra certainly made a
huge impact around the world.
“Mr
Dangi was the perfect ambassador for his country, always gracious and
dignified, and happy to pose for photographs and share anecdotes about
living his life at half a metre tall. Everyone at GWR is terribly sad to
hear of his passing and sent our heartfelt condolences to Mr Dangi’s
family.”
Let no man in any way view himself or herself small, that is a lie of the devil from the pit of hell. God sees us bigger than what we think we are. He sees us as vessels of greatness, conquerors and achievers. It is only when we key in into God's own way of seeing things that is when we see that we are UNSTOPPABlE. There is no mountain high enough friends. With God we can soar higher than we can ever imagine. Pleasant Day
God does not see our dreams the way we normally see it. It might look small but in the eyes of God it is so great. It might be weak and feeble but in his eyes it is full of strength. It might be dead but he has the power to make it alive again. It might be impossible but dont forget that he is a God of All possibilities. It might take time but be rest assured you will get there soon in glory. Just hold on, do not be weary of your little beginings. Have that robust faith in God because he was the one that gave you that dream and is more than able and eager to make it come to pass. Work hard towards that dream and believe me YOU WILL CERTAiNLY GET THERE. See you always at the zenith level. Pleasant Day.

Whose Report Will You Believe?
There can be reports that might atimes unnerve us and deprive us of Joy... Reports that make us to ask ourselves, "why do I have to tarry in this mountain for so long?"
If those reports came from men, know this, they have mouths but they don't have the final say. If they are based on conditions or circumstances, be mindful of this, they have facts but they don't have the final say.
But we have a higher report that outshines them all. A report that is garnished with divine promises and flavoured with miracles . A report that principalities and powers have no other say but to bow down to it. This report has been helpful to great men of the past and it is still helpful because its efficacy has never changed. It is potent forevermore.
Whose report am I talking about? IT IS THE REPORT OF THE LORD!! Cling with all your might to His Report and YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. For only his report has the final say. Others are baseless .
Pleasant day.

The Presence Of God
There is a presence great men seek. A presence that separates men of value from mere men. A presence that Open doors, blazes impossible trails and breaks yokes. A presence that is in all ramification Unique. The fullness of This presence in One's life transforms rejected Stones to corner stones, beggars to kings, timid men to fearless warriors and simpletons to Men of intense wisdom. The Power and Aura of This presence in one's life makes one's enemies to be at peace with him and transforms places of wilderness to an ever flowing Stream . What Else can i say of This Presence; for with it One prospers and can Do All things; but without it One can Do nothing. With it the dormitories of principality and Power bow, without it One is always entangled. With it One approaches the throne of Grace and asks the father of anything and it is done and With it One always prospers in all he does. The benefits of This presence in the lives of Men is inexpressible and unfathomable. What other presence Do i speak of but THE PRESENCE OF THE LIVING GOD. A presence, men of wisdom should seek and desire to be in. Pleasant Day.
