"THE SMALL PRINT" BY ABIMBOLA DARE
A seductive mistake.
A deadly obsession.
Ambitious illegal Immigrant Wale Ademola has the perfect solution to avoid deportation: - a contract marriage to Jennifer Lennox, the attractive stranger with a British passport. The terms of their agreement seems straightforward. Nothing could possibly go wrong- that is until Jennifer makes a demand that threatens to destroy Wale's entire existence- if he doesn't run.
Christian housewife Sade Williams is fed up of living a sheltered life and thinks nothing of secretly working behind her husbands back. But when she makes a devastating discovery at home, Sade questions everything about her marriage and faith.
Then the unthinkable happens.
The immigrant falls for the housewife: a fatal attraction that enmeshes them both into a twisted web of lies, deceit and adultery.
Jennifer is a woman scorned. And she is bent on avenging a broken contract and a shattered heart.
From the shores of London to the far reaches of Lagos and Abuja, three individuals battle insurmountable challenges that lead them through a journey of desperation, desire, hope and ultimately, redemption.

The Trials of Friendship By Melissa Taylor
"A friend loves at all times, and a brother in born for adversity." Proverbs 17:17 (NIV)
When I asked "Paula" if she could get together Thursday evening she declined. She and her mother already had plans.
A little while later I called "Dana" to see if she could hang out Thursday. You can imagine my shock when she said, "Sorry, I'm going to a dinner party at Paula's. You're not invited?"
Ouch! I couldn't help but wonder why Paula felt she could not be honest with me. Dana said the party was small and Paula probably didn't want to hurt my feelings. I understood, but being left out and lied to really hurt.
An uncomfortable knot sat in my stomach as I struggled with whether I should approach Paula or not.
We'd come to a crossroads in our friendship. I wanted to tell her, "It's okay you didn't invite me to your party but you didn't have to lie to me. And I forgive you, because 'a friend loves at all times.'" But I was too afraid.
At times like this, I follow my mom's advice. "When you don't know what to do, that's your cue to pray." God reminded me that when a "friend loves at all times" it means we believe the best about each other and work through problems.
Despite both my mom's and God's wisdom, I'm sad to say I decided to just let it go; I was too fearful to caringly confront my friend.
Paula called me a few weeks later. She felt bad for lying to me, apologized and explained the dinner party. I also apologized for not confronting her. I should have known our friendship was stronger than my fears.
We ended up laughing about our insecurities, and ourselves, because we knew we loved each other and wouldn't intentionally hurt one another. She should have been honest and I should've been brave enough to ask her about it.
Lying isn't supposed to be a part of friendship, but neither is fear. Every relationship will have its share of trials and mishaps. But it should also have its share of believing the best in each other and forgiveness.
When obstacles that aren't dealt with come between two people, they can eat at our hearts, little by little. When we allow it to build up over time, our enemy will use it to divide us.
Perhaps the Lord is prompting you to tell the truth to a friend you've not been honest with. Or maybe you're the one who's been told a lie. Scripture tells us, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone" (Romans 12:18 NIV 1984). Whether telling the truth, or confronting a lie, it rests upon us to do whatever possible to reconcile with our friend.
You may be on the other end of a confession or confrontation that was not well received. I'm so sorry. I know it's painful to lose a friend. But we can rest assured, that once we've done our part, the Lord will continue to do His and heal the wound left.
If you're at a crossroads now, wondering if you should confess or caringly confront, may I encourage you to pray and take the next step? I am so glad Paula called me. What we have is too good to allow hurt feelings and misunderstandings to ruin it.
God's Word tells us "a friend loves at all times." That may not always be easy, but in the end, it's worth it. In fact, I can honestly say our friendship is now even stronger than it was before.

Secrets of Success Found in Small Places By Lysa TerKeurst
"Then
Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD
had given ability and who was willing to come and do the work." Exodus
36:2 (NIV)
The International Christian Retail Show is a big book
convention where publishers, authors, agents, media, and bookstore owners all
gather to talk shop. Books are pitched. Books are sold. Books are talked about
a lot!
I went to this conference years ago when I was a
wanna-be writer with a book proposal and a dream. Last year, as I signed
pre-release copies of my 16th book Unglued,
two thoughts went through my mind.
First ... thank
You Jesus that people actually came to my book signing. Seriously, there's
nothing quite like standing there with a big stack of free promotion books, a
permanent marker, and not a soul interested.
So when people actually came, I just wanted to hug
every single one of them. Seriously. And if I had lots of money I would've
bought them all a steak dinner. I'm not kidding.
The second thought was ... look for those desperate
for your encouragement. Many who came through my book signing line were
interested in writing a book. I remember being there. I know what it feels like
to walk around with a tote bag full of book proposals and a heart full of
nervous hope.
I felt the weight of responsibility to give them the
encouragement I so desperately needed when I was in their shoes.
Maybe you are there right now. Maybe you're looking to
actively pursue your dreams in this New Year. Whether it's the hope of being an
author or another dream you have bumping around in your heart, here's what I've
learned:
Always remember, rejection from man doesn't mean
rejection from God.
If God has gifted you to write, write! You don't need a book deal to have an impact with your writing. The same is true with other dreams ... sing, create, teach, paint, develop — use your gifts right where you are to bless others.

Most overnight success stories are years in the
making.
Value the daily discipline of small steps, hard work, honing your craft, and putting in time learning and developing. Take classes. Be mentored. Push through those moments you want to slack off. And do it over and over, year after year.

Be a blessing to others.
Don't keep your work to yourself. Find people who could be blessed with your work. I love to write. But what I love more than writing is seeing my writing help other people. That's where I find the encouragement to push through the hard times.

Expect opposition.
The challenges and disappointments and set backs are all part of it. And honestly, these hard times serve a great purpose. I've learned much more from my failures in writing than my successes. Use these lessons ... don't waste them by giving up too soon. And remember to glorify Him whether it's a struggle or a success. God uses all things for good.

Look for the small open doors right in front of you.
I always scratch my head when I meet people who tell me they want to write and speak but aren't willing to teach a small Bible study first. If God is calling you to do something — He'll have a door open in front of you. But it might be a small door. Look for the small door and walk through it.

Actually, dance through it with great joy because He
will always do great things with people willing to be faithful in the small.
Dear Lord, I
praise You for giving me the opportunity to pursue my dreams. I am so humbled
that You would call me to serve You. Please help me persevere as I come up
against opposition and frustration in the process of saying "yes" to
You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

JESUS THE HEALER
Hello
everyone this is just a quick message to you all out there who are going
through challenges in your health, physically, emotionally and mentally, the
word that came to my mind this morning as i was studying the word of God and
Kenneth E Hagin food and health devotional, i decide to put this up on my blog,
because i know it will sure minister to someone out there. Here it
goes>
Have you ever pondered about where
sickness and diseases come from?
i will put it in a nutshell, the
bible says in Luke 13 vs 16, And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham,
WHOM SATAN HATH BOUND, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on
the sabbath day?
it was certain that sickness was
from the devil, he might as well realize the fact that God has a
special will to make you well, it is HIS WILL for you to get well, so God wont
lay up sickness and diseases in your body.
in Acts 10 vs 38
How God anointed and consecrated
Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power;
how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who
were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with
Him.
Jesus went about doing well not
evil, it wasn't HIS mission to do evil, HE came to redeem life and give life
ABUNDANTLY. HE came to die for you and I, just that we might enjoy the life HE has
given us through his grace
If you are going through health
challenge i will leave you with this word, unless you believe that sickness is
from the devil and that it’s not from God you will wondered through the
scripture and doubt the word of God, which many f us are a victim of (
including me). Until you open up YOUR HEART to receive the revelation that
Jesus stripes WAS A REVELATION OF THE FULFILLED WORD IN JOHN 10 VS 10. HE made
his body a bread for us and HIS blood a wine for us that we might partake of
the NEW COVENANT.
1SAIAH 53 VS 3-5
3.
He
is despised and rejected by men,3
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief
And we hid, as it
were, our faces from
Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4. Surely He has borne our grief’s
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5.
But He was wounded
for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
This is just to encourage you with this word and please
make this confession where ever you are.
Confession
Satan
is the author of sickness and disease. According to Luke 13:16, John 10:10,
First John 3:8, and Acts 10:38, sickness and disease come from Satan. So I
refuse anything that comes from him, and stand my ground on the Word of God,
which says that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to give me
life more abundantly.

UNIQUE BEING BY REV GBOTEMI
Hello everyone i hope your day has been filled with surprises and unending joy, this is to highlight you about what i have been up to recently,I'm sorry i haven't been able to blog for a while now i promise i will start to be frequent on it very soon. I practically stumbled across a message sent to me on my email from one of my mentors who reside in Nigeria and i felt that i should share it out to you all, hope you get something tangible out from it and believe me you will never stay the same, so here is the article i read on my email. Thanks and God bless you
Funmi.
When God finished creating you,He destroyed the mould so that another like you will not be made.You are unique in your home,people may say that they saw somebody like you,but it is only a resemblance,for there can never be another you.In fact,who they claimed they saw will be utterly different from you if you are to stand by his/her side.
There are over six billion people on earth,yet there are no two human beings whose thumb prints are the same.What is true of thumbs is true of potentials,talents,abilities,creativity,brains,endowments etc. You are a celebrity waiting to happen ;a king waiting for enthronement and a hero that will soon be celebrated.
With this in mind,refuse all forms of intimidation.Never permit the result of others and your assumed failure to intimidate or frustrate you.
Know that there is nothing anyone have achieved or is achieving that you too can't achieve.
Never allow your past failed attempts or mistake kill your morale.You can rise from the ashes of failure to the pinnacle of success.This is because you are a bundle of possibilities,too loaded to fail.
So,look inward to discover what you carry. Allow the real you to emerge.For sure,there is something in you waiting for exploration.This is not the ultimate you.
You are bigger,higher and greater than this.As you begin to work on yourself,the real you will emerge.By the power of the Living God you will break forth to the left and to the right.Every maybe in your life will become reality in Jesus name.
Stay lifted.
