Nagging is really a bad tool to employ when it comes to changing a person's character, because it blinds ones eye to the other person good attributes, while all we see is the person's bad aspects, it also makes us overlook our own bad attributes and we see ourselves as perfect and without fault.
I have seen men nag in a serious way on a partners issues, and I have seen women take to nagging like its an everyday job to render their displeasure, with both hoping it will change the other.
But do we know that prayer can change a person faster than nagging.
Do we know that while employing prayer as a tool it also help to change ourselves too.
Do we even know that nagging is a device of Satan which he ignites like fire to keep up argument and when the fire of nagging is still burning we can never see the good in what the other person does.
So while that nagging fire is still in us, we become the most difficult person to cope with or even change while we think its the other person...
Lets quench the fire of nagging that the devil has started first and we will realize that we can only change the other person by first changing our self because the easiest person a man can change is himself and when prayer makes one change in aspects that matters most, the change we desire to see in that other person too will be effected in no time, and do we also know that nagging is the attribute of an hypocrite.
The bible says
“Why do you notice the small piece of dust that is in your friend’s eye, but you don’t notice the big piece of wood that is in your own? Why do you say to your friend, ‘Let me take that piece of dust out of your eye’? Look at yourself first! You still have that big piece of wood in your own eye. You are a hypocrite! First, take the wood out of your own eye. Then you will see clearly to get the dust out of your friend’s eye.
Matthew 7:3-5 ERV.
So to change that other person we must first change ourselves, and the only way we can change ourselves is to take up prayer in place of nagging...
God bless us all

EASTER IS NOT FOR YOU
EASTER IS NOT FOR YOU
Easter is here again, and it's a season that most people look forward to because it's a time to unwind, relax, enjoy and spend time with families and friends as it's a season that comes along with a long weekend break.
But how many people really know the meaning of Easter?, who are the people really worthy of celebrating this Easter season.
Easter is a season to celebrate the greatest achievement a man named Jesus Christ made while on earth.
It's a season to remember his life, work, death, and purpose here on earth.
It's a season to share in his pain, grief, and glorification, but its a pity that most of the people celebrating it today have little or no understanding of the meaning or the essence of it, thereby making a mockery of it unknowingly.
Jesus Christ came into this world to settle an age long rift between mankind and his creator. See Gen 3:1-24.
Hr came to be the mediator between man and God. See Heb 9:11-15.
Jesus Christ came to give man a chance at eternal life. See Jude 23.
And because of all this, he endured the shame, the pains, the grief, the blames that man would have had to carry on the last day. See Luke 23:1-56.
But still, it's a pity that most of the people he came to do all this for do not even know that he really did all these for them.
Some don't even know the impact of his coming, of his death, and of his resurrection.
Easter is not for you if:
1. You don't know who Jesus Christ is and if you have not met with him personally. John 14:7
2. You have not accepted him into your life as your Lord and personal saviour. John 13:20
3. You are not a follower or disciple of Jesus Christ. John 8:12.
4. You don't know why Jesus died on the Cross.
5. You are still going contrary to his will and wish for your life. Matt 12:50, John 7:17
6. You are letting the reason of his death be in vain over you.
7. You are still alive to sin but dead to the new life in Christ which he is offering to you. Romans 6:11
8. If all the blood Jesus shed is still not enough to change you from your sinful and evil ways.
9. You still love the world or cherish the things in it. 1 john 2:15.
Easter is not for you if you are not heavenly focused.
Anyone who does not accept the reality of the essence of the suffering, death, resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ is guilty of eternal damnation, and who or what can save a man from that horrible day.
The only thing that can save a man from eternal damnation is to do the following steps mentioned below.
1. By confessing your sins.
2. By acknowledging your evil ways and acts and not going back to them.
3. By accepting Jesus Christ into your life.
4. By really knowing that he died for you to be free.
5. By doing his will and laws which he hath commanded
6. By being a witness for him everywhere you go.
You can only be made right with God through constant fellowship with him.
This Easter can really be for you, if only you would not let the death and resurrection of the man we are celebrating be in vain over you.
Easter is not for everybody but for those who have been redeemed and saved from eternal damnation.
Easter is not only and time of celebrations, but also of reflection about one's faith.
Do your best not be guilty of this easter you are witnessing or celebrating today.
Accept Jesus today.

Friends Forever
When I hear people say this person is my best friend, The first thought that comes up in my mind is that were you the one who introduced him/ her to Christ or was it the person who introduced Christ to you.
If your answer is No, then I believe you have to reconsider whom you call your best friend Cause a best friend is that person who is meant to have your back all the time And how can the person have your back when he/she is not spiritually sound and vibrant.
The Bible says... "I was glad when they said to me..let's go into the house of God.". Who is meant to say that to you if its not whom you call your friend, Your friend is meant to support you when you are weak Your friend is meant to hold on to you when you feel like letting go, Your friend is meant to be the one to let you know that you are already going off course, Your friend is meant to help you achieve your purpose because you can't do it alone.
No one ever made it alone Samuel had the permission of Eli to make it.
Moses had to make use of Aaron to be able to deliver his message at Egypt.
Caleb also had Joshua to be able to say the truth as spies.
You can't do it alone. So if you know that you can't do it alone why not just select the kind of friend you want to be seen with, why not select the kind of people who would share in your vision.
Why not select friends who would defend your course.
Jesus selected twelve disciples out of the many he had and his mission was fulfilled.
Joshua selected 300 and his mission was fulfilled.
Elijah selected Elisha and his mission was fulfilled.
Why not select friends who will make your mission fulfilled.
Friends can ruin and can build.
Friends can lead and can mislead.
Check out the calibre of friends you have today, are they truly worth calling friends.
Friends with heavenly view should be your best friends not those with vanity views.
Friends who are friends of Christ should be your friends not sons and daughters of Belial.
Friends who have discovered purpose should be your friends not disoriented ones.
Learn to move with a team of Godly people.
Best friends are friends forever, so choose wisely.
Friends forever.
