1. Your emotions affect your health. Our emotions have direct impact on the state of our body. Our emotions produce direct physiological effects on our physical bodies. (Isaiah 61:1-3) #HealthyLiving
2. Emotions produce physiological changes in the body. Anxiety makes us sweat. Frustration and sadness produce tears. Embarrassment and fear also produce changes in your system. #HealthyLiving
3. Negative emotions affect our level of immunity. Having a bad mood can make us susceptible to common ailments like cold, malaria, etc. #HealthyLiving
4. Medical scientists say that stress, which is real or imagined threat & your body’s response to it can affect your immunity, brain chemistry, blood sugar levels, hormonal balance, & much more. Immunity is the capacity of the body to fight infections & diseases. #HealthyLiving
5. Positive emotions also produce effects in the body. In Proverbs 17:22 NLT, the scriptures says “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength” #HealthyLiving
6. Positive emotions also affects the production of chemicals like oxytocin and endorphins. They boost positive feelings and the body’s level of immunity. #HealthyLiving
7. Conversely, positive emotions like joy, peace and love release endorphins and oxytocin, which improves immunity and change the cellular structure of the body. #HealthyLiving
8. To live healthy, exercise responsibility over your emotions. Pay attention to your emotions and learn to identify the emotions in your system per time. This is called self-awareness. #HealthyLiving
9. Exercise your power of choice. Be proactive not reactive in your response ability. Do not allow Satan to create a script for you to follow, this is what happens when you fail to choose positive emotions over negative ones. (Phil. 4:19) #HealthyLiving
10. Line up your emotions with God’s word. Be anxious for nothing. Worry never solves a problem, rather it creates fresh ones. (Eph. 5:1) #HealthyLiving
11. Switch from negative to positive emotions. Be deliberate about it. How ? Gain God’s perspective to your situation and give it a positive interpretation. Life is about interpretation. Life is not fixed, it is how you see it. #HealthyLiving
12. Look for God in everything and in every situation. In Genesis chapter 1, as dark as it was, the spirit of God was present. Temporary setbacks should not cause permanent damage. (Habakkuk 3:17-19) #HealthyLiving
13. Fellowship with the Holy Spirit and not just praying in the spirit. Prayer can be religious if your thoughts run contrary to what is being prayed for. Your asking has to align with your thinking. (Jer 33:3 & Eph 3:20) #HealthyLiving
14. Mind your Association and don’t hang around negative people who only look for the devil and not God in a situation. Watch the kind of news or information you feed on. (Psalm 1:1-3) #HealthyLiving
15. Seek professional help when you need to. Some doctors are trained to help the body, some others are trained to help the mind. (James 5:13-15) #HealthyLiving
16. I pray in Jesus name, the days of negative emotional patterns and emotional torments are over. Sadness is terminated. Revelation comes to you; You will find a cause for celebration. #HealthyLiving
17. We release of power of God on your situation and declare a supernatural turnaround. Every malfunctioning organ in your body begins to function perfectly in Jesus name. #HealthyLiving

1. We laid the foundation for Exploring Eternity in our last discussion. We said that the physical death of man is not the final termination of the existence of man; beyond the point of death, we continue to live. #ExploringEternity
2. We emphasised that this short life is a preparation for the next one which has no limit. We drew on the Law of Time Perspective - The longer the time you take into consideration when making decisions; the more successful
3. We said that when a Christian has a consciousness of eternity, our short term decisions are more accurate. Psalm 39:4 - The Psalmist’s prays here ‘’Remind me how short my time on earth is’’ because he wanted wisdom. #ExploringEternity
1. One of the stories I find most fascinating in the scriptures is that of the rich man and Lazarus (the poor man) in Luke 16:19. They both died however their lives continued afterwards. #ExploringEternity
2. They ended up in different places. The rich man had serious regrets. They retained their memories after death. Their view of their lives on earth changed. #ExploringEternity
3. From the story they still recognised each other, the rich man realised that his life on earth was in preparation for his life after death & that he had made the wrong choices. He also knew that his brothers’ decisions would qualify them for the same outcome. #ExploringEternity
1. Our children gives God some of the greatest opportunities for Him to answer our prayers for change. When a nation prays for change, God gives them babies, when babies are born, the future is defined and locked into them. #ChildrensDay
2. We have a very important role to play in preparing them to influence their world for good. Children do not need to be taught to sin, it is innate. We therefore need to deliberately put them on the right path. #ChildrensDay
3. WE MUST HELP OUR CHILDREN DEVELOP THE CAPACITY FOR LOVE. Capacity to love God and to love people #ChildrensDay
1. We understand people perceive love in different ways and if a relationship will be built effectively, particular attention must be given to this. You must be sensitive to your spouse’s difference and always take this into consideration. #LoveandMarriage
2. Gary Chapman in his Book describes it as the Five Love Languages. Some people feel loved when they are physically touched, others prefer words of affirmation, some others like gifts and the size does not matter because it’s their love language. #LoveandMarriage
3. Others appreciate quality time; they want you to drop everything and focus on them while some people feel loved when tasks are done for them; this is known as acts of service. #LoveandMarriage
Thanks to all that posted responses to the questions on my mind. I asked for some reasons. Someone visited his son in the US. His son asked why he’d been only sighing for 3 days as they drove him around. He said, “People are suffering at home but don’t know they’re suffering.”
A former governor told me that he heard people on his cabinet were complaining that he was always talking about vision. They asked if it was vision they were going to eat. How can you win elections describing your vision for development when can’t conceptualize development?
My first few trips to the UAE, Europe and the US were paradigm shifting for me. It was a more powerful experience than watching movies or reading magazines. Normal was redefined. Some things I considered luxury became basic items. My environment and the way I do things changed.
1. We are emphatic about starting and running businesses because these days, our schools are like factories designed to produce en masse, people that are equipped to work for other people #WisdomForBusiness
2. In time past, it was normal for a child to pick up the craft of his/her parents. The child of the farmer took up farming, the child of the carpenter took up carpentry; #WisdomForBusiness
3. Jesus was the son of a carpenter and then somewhere along the line, they asked, “is that not the carpenter?” When you think about it, there was an entrepreneurial dimension to all that; it was a family owned business #WisdomForBusiness
