BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU CALL IMPOSSIBLE!

What exactly is impossibility? Is it in the reality of the situation, or the reality of your own mind? I received this testimony and would like you to be blessed too...

"When I wrote my first semester examination as an undergraduate in UNILAG, I saw all my results but had a missing script in FSC 104. I was scared because it was not what I bargained for. When I went to meet the lecturer in charge of the course, he chased me out of his office because I came at a time that was not the Visiting Time (Tuesday).
There was only one option – I would have to
rewrite the examination the next year. I was not ready to go through the stress of attending lectures, writing assignments and preparing for an examination, I had already written. Therefore, I took the case up to God in prayer,separating myself in a 3-day fast.

The last day of the fast was a Saturday and I was taking a Meditating walk around DLI (Distance Learning Institute) in University of Lagos when the Spirit of God instructed me to go to the man’s office one more time. I said to myself, “it is either God does not know the regulation in UNILAG or someone is trying
to deceive me”. I had been to the office of this lecturer during the week and he chased me away, what would happen if I go on a Saturday, which was weekend?
Since I was convinced that it was God speaking, I went to his office and for the
first time in my life,I found him smiling.He looked at me and said, “Young woman, I still cannot find your result but write down the result of your other exam and I would give you a grade based on your other performance”.

That was really a miracle and I would have gladly accepted a ‘C’ but when I checked the notice board some weeks later, I found an ‘A’ with 75 marks beside my Matriculation Number. I realized that God is really a God that specializes in impossibilities ­ ­ .
Three years later, I graduated from the same University with a first class."

I pray for that seemingly impossible situation in your life to be turned around in Jesus Name. More impossibles are going to be possible for you!
Good Morning!

Who Is To Blame?

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages.
When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

What do you think were the four words?

The husband just said "I Love You Darling"

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. No
point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult...

SINK OR SWIM: HELPING THOSE WE LOVE

You see your friend, or someone close to you, messing up. You try to tell them, sometimes repeatedly. But are they listening? And when is enough really enough?

It’s hard

One of the most difficult things in the world is watching someone you care about mess up. It could be family, a friend or a partner. The situation could also come from a huge list of possible scenarios: dangerous habits,cheating, dating the worst type of person or staying in a destructive relationship... We would want someone to tell us if we were blind to any of the above, especially if it’s someone close to us. So we try to help them. We point out what exactly they’re doing wrong; how exactly it is they’re being lied to, how they’re being taken advantage of. This hardly ever goes down well, sometimes because of our execution as outsiders, and sometimes because the person we’re telling is in too deep. So where do you go from there?

Tact

You have to approach any situation where you’re telling someone that they may be wrong very delicately. After all, no one wants to learn that they are wrong – especially when it relates to something they are deeply invested in.

Empathy is very important: What if it was you in that situation? How would you take it? Before you approach someone about something this sensitive, you have to know them pretty well. This not only means that there will be an element of trust, but that you will also know this person well enough to have a plan of how to go about it. Consider the information you have before you pass it on: Do you trust the source of the information? Is there someone else who can verify? If the ayes outweigh the nays, it’s a sign that this is something you should share. Know when to fold in the end, if you tried your best and nothing changed, then you have to remove yourself from the situation.

Take a break from your friend or loved one and let the negative emotions cool down, especially if there was an argument or your integrity was called into question. Nothing is worth losing your peace of mind over, not even the people we care about most. After all, you also have to look out for yourself.

Sometimes we can present an irrefutable body of proof and the subject receives it well. Then, as a friend and a loved one, you have done your duty. However, chances are that no matter how well you present your case, the other person won’t listen.

As human beings, we’re stubborn to a fault sometimes. Then, the only thing you can do is wait. If you were wrong, then apologize when you get the opportunity. If it turns out you were right, that’s when your friend or loved one will need you the most. There will most likely be many pieces to put back together, and your strength and comfort will be invaluable.
