Fragments Of A Disgruntled Heart

Fragments Of A Disgruntled Heart
Credits:glogster
The blessings of Christ over His Church (And yes am a Christian; I believe in the full proof power of the Cross, its ability to save as it does through the name Jesus), plenty they are in number, with the abilities it comes with (for the blessing and its manifestation for some reason seem, seem two differing kettles of fishes entirely) numerous they are being trampled upon over a few UNSAVED hearts (that in capitals, for truly they are some unsaved hearts within the fold) most especially where I live in particular, arose my heart to these series of letters across the churches.
Now, never get me wrong, not as though the saving grace of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ has in itself not saved me and the people around me (in here do I speak locally; I speak of the quakes, the aches across my locality that has caused these groans within my heart of which I speak) neither does it seem as though the power that judges a lesser thing by a manifestation of something greater has not dawned on my people. It just remains as if a power, a force, a gripping as if a curse has dipped itself, establishing a wall, as though a hollow, a barricade, something disallowing (forgive these, whatever makes this clear is what am up for) those carrying the truth that Jesus saves, heals restores, those leading the pack, proclaiming the saving grace that comes from our master and King; glory to His name, has by their leadership held us bound, it stopped us. For it seemed when we should release, give forth with all that is within us, the onus of our persons. Great blessings stored within as from creation, we were stoppered by this. This …….. huh, pardon me, this DULL, this great wall, hindering us from entering the light, stoppered us from stepping into truth. Sigh, you could stop here if none of this resonates, if none of these ring no bell, this is not meant for you, but if you’ve ever been stoppered, told to ‘drop this thing’….’Let this be…’ ‘Here is how it’s been done’ ‘This is how we’ll continue’…. Well here’s harsh reality, you’re not in the fight. What fight? The fight of truth, the fight of blood, the struggle that those long before us stood, withstood, fought, lay hold unto … This my friend, is the fight for the faith … contentions within my spirit … Is it that thing that has me say ‘No’ then ‘Yes’? Well, still is… that thing that has me stop, then start again all over? Yes? Still that thing that would have me think, today? Tomorrow? Tomorrow would be like today? Yes that’s it. It compounds all our struggles… What’s my trouble? What’s my begrudging in the Church? What’s left me with distaste for glamour and a need to pen down my hurt feelings? It’s your distaste for this truth. Ever wondered if my life would go all better if I Just embraced it? Am in a fight, Am in a struggle ….. This’ll never let go…. It calls for blood; it involves my life … what is this fight? It’s my fight; it’s your Fight …
‘…. Contending earnestly for the faith that was once delivered ……….’

Short has been my time, few and far in-between, my learning … Cross roads betwixt several experiences. Safe to say am not like a few of us who get spiritual experiences night and day :), no pun. I have, however, found this deep stirring in my soul, a need, to voice the truth, act a witness to this versatile, yet short standing ministry a few of us within the church can say; ‘Hell – yeah! (Pardon my French, *closed mouth), I see this consistently!’
 
Here’s a humming I came across recently
 
Chorus
 
Shoo do doo shoo do doo, shoo doo doo oooo ooo ooo ooo, Sho do doo shoo doo dooo oooooooo (2ce)
Ring a bell?
If not, here’s another I Think you’ve heard …..
Micah Stampley’s “Another place”
 
Chorus
We’re in another place in Him ……………..
That, A Psalm, Revolutionized worship experiences world round ….. You not left out…
If not?
Sure you’ve been at places where, be it your home, worship place; that a man, brother, sister, lady, herk! Could be you! Leading a totally meaningless humming, beat, song, to a totally meaningless compilation, yet with such spiritual recognizance, it brings you closer to the Father ….
The truth, friend, this…..
‘Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and Spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord’
– Ephesians 6:19
Glad to announce to you.
There, in Him, lies a learning, brief interface, your heart and His. This allowing that delight in spirit.
Notice there, a couple more…. ‘Psalms, Hymns, Singing’ hence the need for the use of the word ‘brief interface’, for this isn’t the only there is ……
 
Oh blessed be our God and Father, blessing us with all spiritual blessings they are ….. Ephesians 1:3
Boy oh boy, let me say, Should you give up that humming, key note that blesses your heart? Kindly not!. Be encouraged, Stick with. Could just be the next song that leads into Worship.

How To Upload Any Book Format On Okadabooks

Uploading Any Book Format

Okay, earlier today i shared some Tips To Sell Your Books On Okadabooks.com then i got this email from Steven (not his real name) asking how he could upload his manuscripts on Okadabooks. Here it is…

Note: “A MANUSCRIPT” is what your newly finished story is called before it is published.
For the mean time only Electronic Publication (EPUB) formats of books are allowed on OkadaBooks. Which means If you have other formats of your Manuscripts you’d need to convert them to .Epub, this tutorial is for you.
This is as easy as uploading your photo to Facebook (or downloading a friend’s photo)
Before you begin, I believe you have your manuscript fully typed and formatted. Do not worry about the format of your manuscript, it could be in pdf, doc, docx, or any other format
Step 1: Visit http://www.online-convert.com/ with the device you have your manuscript in. The website converts any of your book formats to any other format you choose. It’s very easy to use from the homepage if you select the Ebook Converter on the hompage. See screenshot below
Step 2: After you have uploaded your book. simply click on the Convert File button and you’re done. You’d be redirected to a page where you’d download your book in the output format you choosed. That’s all… see the image below
Conclusion: Once you have the newly downloaded .epub copy, go to okadabooks.com/publication/add fill in your book details and description including a cover (or use the default covers) and price then click on “UPLOAD EPUB” to upload your converted book. Once uploaded, click on “PUBLISH” and your book will do what you clicked…. publish.

My Life As An Author – Ibitola Ojoye Adebayo

Life as an author

“The reasons I write these testimonies are because one of the greatest witnessing tools we have available to us is the testimony of a changed life. Whatever you want is usually easier to get than you think, as long as you are willing to adapt and do what is necessary.
With me I found myself on a journey that I had never intended to travel. A journey to find myself. This was when I began to write. My heart was burdened, and I wrote to get what was in me out. I started writing because if I didn’t, I would explode.
On this journey I realized I truly love spinning together stories. I can go places, do things, and be a part of adventures and lives in ways that just aren’t possible in my real life.
The pay off in my writing career hasn’t been in fame. Rather it’s come in the form of hearing from readers and knowing they’re enjoying my stories. Each email, Facebook comment, or tweet warms my heart.”

But Who Is A Nigerian Geek?

Who is a Nigerian Geek?

A programmer friend of mine was called for a web designing job in Lagos, on getting there, the staffs of the company where in a meeting and he was required in the same meeting for some reasons known to them. He walked in and the Oga (boss) of the company yelled “Are you here for the interview? Why are you dressed like you came to see your friend?” He had said it with so much hatred in his face but my loyal but pissed off helpless friend didn’t reply him. He stood and watched the rude oga babble “…look at the way you’re dressed.”
What was the Oga putting on? Black suit. My friend? He was wearing a CLEAN (intentionally capitalized) T shirt, black trousers and shoes. Was he there to take up a permanent job? Not really. They needed a web designer, that’s all.

While i was narrating this to another guy, he explained: “There are so many awesome things they don’t teach you in a computer science class that undergraduates are learning online but when they go for interviews, they’d have to tender certificates or else, no job.”

The entire occurrence got me wondering: This smart guy was treated like this (obviously because he’s not in a black suit with a 6 inch tie around his 22 year old neck) and most of these guys who learnt outside the “Nigerian” school are insulted asked for papers… Who is a Nigerian Geek?

Why Women Cheat: The Good and Ugly Reasons

For men, it’s typically about the sex—the more sexually excitable they are, the more likely they are to cheat. For women, it’s more about the level of satisfaction in her relationship; if a woman is unhappy in her marriage, she’s 2.6 times more likely to cheat – Womansday.com

According to 2012 statistics from the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, 14% of married women have cheated compared to 22% of married men. Although women are not exceeding men in cheating, women are having emotional affairs and sex behind their man’s back. However, when a woman cheats, she is usually cheating for emotional intimacy while a man usually cheats for physical pleasure.

Reasons Why Women cheat
Most of the reasons why women cheat has been divided into emotional and physical reasons. Every affair is different, and so are every woman’s reasons for her involvement in cheating.
Fact: Men can be a lot happier in their primary relationship and still cheat. The same men will say “it’s in a woman’s gene to cheat”.
Here are the reasons why women cheat.
1. Emotional Starvation: When a woman is lonely in her marriage for one reason or another, She goes looking for emotional attachment elsewhere.
2. Anger and Revenge: Especially if she has caught a man cheating before. Even if the man apologises and they pretend to move on, she might still cheat on him.
3. Excitement seekers: Some women are so much in love with their husbands and will never entertain the thought of leaving him but they want more. These women are thrill seekers who “want more” or need a little extra something.
4. The Sexually Deprived Wife: If she isn’t getting sex at home, don’t be surprised if she goes looking for it outside the marriage. As men age their testosterone levels drop. When this happens they become less interested in sex or develop sexual dysfunction and are unable to perform. A wife ends up with a husband who would rather watch football or read a good book at bedtime than have sex with his wife. When she gets fed up or can’t do anything about it, she’d cheat.
5. Escape from Punishment: Then you have men who withhold sex as a form of punishment. When a woman feels her husband no longer wants her sexually, she feels deprived and uncared for. Feelings that may spur her into going outside the marriage to find what she needs.
6. The Low Self-Esteem Wife: Some women become nothing more than a mother, housekeeper and wife who keeps the family running smoothly. Maybe she is feeling frumpy and unattractive. Her self-esteem is in the gutter…she no longer feels sexy, beautiful or desirable. If her husband doesn’t do anything about it, FAST! She could jump into the hands of a man who desires her heart, body and beauty.
7. Bad sex: Women need to feel desired and experience REAL orgasms during sex. If women are getting bad sex, not enough sex, non-emotional sex, she may eventually lose interest in the relationship and look elsewhere for GOOD sex!
8. Lack of interest in the marriage: If she is not interested in the marriage or relationship in the first place, there might be nothing anyone can do to make it interesting. She might cheat.
Other reasons are:
9. Boredom
10.Feeling under-appreciated
11. Financial independence
12. Lack of attention and intimacy
Conclusion: A woman doesn’t just cheat. There is always a reason. If you have had or heard about another reason why women cheat, leave a comment below.

New Update: Okadabooks 3.0 With App Reset

The Amazon appstore and Instagram are not the only apps getting an update this month. Okadabooks app has a new update – 3.0.
Like any other app with an update, there’s always something new in the Application or it’s component.
In this new update, you would find:
– Improved UI
– New Startup Image
– Implemented design for tablets
– Fixed bugs and issues
– Optimized push notification for android 5.0+
– Changed login functionality to use username
– Fixed books ordering in “My Books” screen.

It also works with my neighbour’s old Android Device and on my blackberry Q5.
Okadabooks 3.0The new update also had something i’d like to call a pain killer – App reset option in it’s Menu.
I call it a pain killer because with the App Reset function you could fix minor errors and download issues.

Once you notice an unusual error like books not downloading, data unavailable pop ups, inability to log in, crashing and/or other things your phone could cause the app to do, simple tap the “Reset App” beneath the “Sign in or Sign out” option in the app’s Menu. The app reset function also works when you’re not signed in.

Note: The App reset deletes the books you’re reading (you can simply redownload them from “My Books” for free), clears your cache and your preferences. The App reset function technically formats the app without touching the books you bought.

Download the new update for FREE on: Android Playstore || Blackberry || Website
