 GIVE IT UP TO GO UP!

There is the story of a three year old daughter, and her father. One day, her father bought her a baby doll and she happened to like the baby doll so much. Two weeks after her father asked for the baby doll back. His daughter replied, dad you know I love this baby doll, if you do not mind, I can give you my toy car instead. The father walked away, saying nothing.

A month after the father asked her again, “Can I have your baby doll?” His daughter replied again, “Dad, this baby doll is dear to me. If you do not mind, I will give you my water bottle instead.”  The father walked away again. 

Two months later, the father was back and asked, “My daughter, that your baby doll, errrrrr, please let me have it.” The daughter replied, “Daddy, it is not as if I do not want to give you…but I love it so much. I can give you my wristwatch instead.”






This happened again and again until one day the daughter finally decided to give up her treasured baby doll. When her father came and requested for the baby doll, the daughter just quietly stood up, went into her room, brought out the baby doll and handed it over to her father. After she gave it to her father, he also went into his room and brought ten brand new baby dolls of different sizes and gave it to her and said, "I have had this all along. I just been waiting for you to give up your own little baby doll so you can have these brand new ones."

Now, How many like this daughter have you held on to a lower version of ourselves when there is obviously more in stock? How many times have you called yourself not good enough when God calls you excellent? How many times have you called yourself rejected when God calls you accepted? 

Please listen to this. You have to give up that lower impression and picture you have of yourself and embrace a better you. There is a world of possibilities right in front of you. You are more than you think yourself to be. That is not all there is. There is more to you and you are more than meets the eye.  Peace.

    Have really learn a lot from this story.
    The first lesson I learnt is that as long as you're willing to give you will surely receive more in return, but the main lesson is that you should learn to give yourself and surrender yourself to God that's the only way to succeed

TIPS ON CROSS-EXAMINATION

-

Cross examination is a delicate act and art that requires mastery of the intricacies therein and understanding of the subtle nuances of human nature. The following tips are relevant.  The first rule of cross examination is not to examine crossly. Abuse is not an argument, no matter who gives it. It is dog's eloquence to  abuse and stoop low to injure another's personality. Get the defendant to commit to absolute statements; then confront him with the damaging letter or evidence. Proceed with as much easiness as if the value of a loss in cross examination were less than a kobo. Establish other possibilities that are open even when the evidence is or appears to be  substantially true. Cross examination can be directed to show that witness was occupied with circumstances surrounding the fact rather than the fact itself. This can be skewed to show that the witness was completely inattentive when the incident happened.

GOAL SETTING AND GO GETTING; THE EAGLE EXAMPLE (PART FOUR)

 THE EAGLE'S NEST The eagles nest is a sight to behold; It weighs more than two tonnes and in fact, it can support two grown men. You do not find this kind of nest anywhere else. It is usually found in the most remote and unattainable spot the bird can find and then it will be perched very high in the mountains or on some sheer cliff or a very high tree. Due to the massive size of this nest and the fact that each and every stick and materials like timber from construction sites, discarded clothing, paper, fresh stick, grass and leaves  to prevent the nest from getting dirty  has to be carried to this remote building by the eagle, you will easily agree that the nest building will be a huge task for the eagle. The eagle, however, is not intimidated or overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of this task. It understands the power of goals and taking little steps  which add up in the long run  towards the achievement of these goals. As Robert Schuller said, “By the yard, it is hard but in

WHERE YOU ARE IS NOT WHO YOU ARE By ISHOLA EMMANUEL There is a very interesting experiment which I would like to share with you. The experiment is this: Try taking a container and put in it, carefully selected big stones. Make sure that the stones are big and put them at the bottom of the container. Now place on top of the container stones of smaller sizes. By now you would have a container with small stones on top and big stones underneath. The next thing is that you shake the container. What would you find? You would find that the smaller stones wuld find their way to the bottom while bigger stones will find their way to the top. The big stones signifies people who have built capacity in areas such as physically, mentally, spiritually, socially etc. but due to the vicissitudes of life find themselves down. Whenever you find yourself in this category, I am here to tell you that it is only a temporary phase. You will rise again. Whenever you find your self down
