Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets

One of my friends' brother used to ask, 'What are the eternal consequences of your hustle?" The question got me every time I hear it!

Psalm 90:12 is a prayer . Every son must pray it daily. To ask God to teach us how to use our days so we might apply our hearts to wisdom.

You see, one of the most common issues believers have with prophetic messages is that sometimes they do not come to pass. It is even more painful when it is a corporate word from God, and some testify of its fulfilment while others simply watch. In learning what is required to process a word unto manifestation, I have learnt that how we spend our time over time can impact on whether what we have been promised comes to pass.

God is both the justifier and the just. There are always conditions precedent for all that we enjoy in Him. And while He has sent His son to level the playing field, everyone ought to step up and know how they do with their time. Benefactors only help because we catch their eyes, and we catch their eye, because we spend our time well.

In Acts 9, Dorcas, who lived in Joppa, died. The people were so distraught that they sent for Peter and compelled him to come and bring her back to life. When Peter got there, all the people did was have the widows show him how valuable a living Dorcas was to them. He prayed, God answered, and she was brought back to the joy of the people she served. Even death was overruled because of how she spent her time.

An elder statesman and father of faith, Dr Tunde Bakare, recently, in explaining Ephesians 5:16, said that any time we spend that wasn't for redemptive purposes contributes to what is called an evil day.

My understanding is that, even when God has made me a promise, what I do with my time is the key to my walking in the manifestation of God's word and promise to me.

If you like me await the fulfilment of a prophetic word, I encourage you to review what you do with your time. Is it spent for redemptive purposes or self?

Busy isn't enough. It must also be redemptive. What is the eternal consequence of how you spend your time?

Father, teach me to number my days...

Embrace Your Super Power!

Being in a relationship is a full-time job; don’t apply if you’re not ready to commit.

Whether you are an entrepreneur or a student, or just someone who wants to have a productive lifestyle, the first and foremost thing to learn is time management.

We all are blessed with 24 hours a day. While some can be couch potatoes and feel that time flies in a second, some others can seal more than one deal, finish a chapter, or learn new skills in the same 24 hours.

However, some want to be productive and yet feel like time doesn’t favor them. In reality, they haven’t learned to save time ultimately. If you are one of them, here are seven ways to save time and make the most of your day.

Make A Structure Of Your Free Time
Structuring your free time seems pointless since you will not be doing any work. But that doesn’t mean your free time cannot be productive. People tend to stay motivated and focused on the workplace because of the presence of a work structure.

Although you would like to spend your free time freely, the downside of doing so is that you will lose focus of time spending or spend it doing pointless stuff. Structuring your time, on the other hand, will give you direction and purpose. This will provide you with something to stay motivated and focused or even help you understand your free time value.

Keep a Diary Of Time Details
Like they say, time flies, you can hardly keep track of it. But keeping a time diary on what you spend your time gives you an insight. You can see what things impact your productivity in the right way and what things negatively impact it. Knowing the same will lead you to make decisions regarding how you can make better use of time.

A time diary helps you see patterns of time spent, keeps you from spending time on low low-leverage stuff, enables you to focus on priorities, etc.

ind Out Your Priorities
Every person is unique, and so is the time they spent. Some people may work hard for a successful career or career growth in general. At the same time, some others want to invest more in family time. But the critical question is, which one is you?

The Life Hype recommends taking your time to think about which part of life is more important for you and invest your time accordingly. People sometimes go with the flow and hardly know if they are working towards their priorities, often losing valuable time and not getting any work done.

Understand Why 24 Hours Is Not Much
If you think about it, the activities and things you do, 24 hours shouldn’t be less for you. If an average person spends 7-8 hours sleeping, 8 hours working, 1+1 hours for eating and chores in the house – it leaves only 6 hours for the activities you want to do.

This realization of having only a little time for your other commitments will remind you how important time is and how you have to be strict about spending it every once in a while. This will remind you to say ‘no’ to things that are not taking you anywhere and continuously drive you to make the most of the time.

Focus On High-Leverage Activities
The 80/20 rule is quite popular, and it says that you can work 20% and yet gain 80% success. But it also depends on what work you do in that 20% so that you get 80%. Every activity is either high leverage or low leverage.

Some people might only focus on low-leverage activities like watching the TV, which unbeknownst to ourselves take away a considerable part of our time. However, investing the same time in reading a book, meditating, exercising can provide fruitful results when the time is right.

Don’t Over Work
The right approach isn’t how much you are doing but the quality of work you are doing. Take Apple, for example. They are one of the most successful companies, and they have only a few product lines.
You can take a similar approach to your life. You can do fewer things and yet have a productive lifestyle.

Pack Your Lunch in Advance
While you’re busy with your schedule and work structure, you hardly remember about your lunch. But when it’s time, whether you are a slow eater or fast eater, you end up spending more than 1 hour for lunch. One of the common reasons why it happens is because you spend half the time planning your lunch.

The right approach is to plan your lunch and pack a cold lunch in advance so that you can take a small break during lunch.

Bottom line
Time management skills are not something you will pick up in a week. You will need to practice it regularly to make it a habit until it becomes your lifestyle.

According to a new study, people who accept their negative emotions have better psychological health.
Pressure to feel upbeat can make you feel downbeat, while embracing your darker moods can actually make you feel better in the long run, according to a new study out of UC Berkeley.

“We found that people who habitually accept their negative emotions experience fewer negative emotions, which adds up to better psychological health,” said study senior author Iris Mauss, an associate professor of psychology at UC Berkeley.

The study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, tested the link between emotional acceptance and psychological health in more than 1,300 adults in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Denver, Colorado, metropolitan area.

The results suggest that people who commonly resist acknowledging their darkest emotions, or judge them harshly, can end up feeling more psychologically stressed.

By contrast, those who generally allow such bleak feelings as sadness, disappointment, and resentment to run their course report fewer mood disorder symptoms than those who critique them or push them away, even after six months.

“It turns out that how we approach our own negative emotional reactions is really important for our overall well-being,” said study lead author Brett Ford, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. “People who accept these emotions without judging or trying to change them are able to cope with their stress more successfully.”

Three separate studies were conducted on various groups both in the lab and online, and factored in age, gender, socioeconomic status, and other demographic variables.

“It’s easier to have an accepting attitude if you lead a pampered life, which is why we ruled out socioeconomic status and major life stressors that could bias the results,” Mauss said.

In the first study, more than 1,000 participants filled out surveys rating how strongly they agreed with such statements as “I tell myself I shouldn’t be feeling the way that I’m feeling.” Those who, as a rule, did not feel bad about feeling bad showed higher levels of well-being than their less-accepting peers.

Then, in a laboratory setting, more than 150 participants were tasked with delivering a three-minute videotaped speech to a panel of judges as part of a mock job application, touting their communication skills and other relevant qualifications. They were given two minutes to prepare.

After completing the task, participants rated their emotions about the ordeal. As expected, the group that typically avoids negative feelings reported more distress than their more-accepting peers.

In the final study, more than 200 people journaled about their most taxing experiences over a two-week period. When surveyed about their psychological health six months later, the diarists who typically avoided negative emotions reported more mood disorder symptoms than their nonjudgmental peers.

At this point, researchers can only speculate on why accepting your joyless emotions can defuse them, like dark clouds passing swiftly in front of the sun and out of sight.

“Maybe if you have an accepting attitude toward negative emotions, you’re not giving them as much attention,” Mauss said. “And perhaps, if you’re constantly judging your emotions, the negativity can pile up.”

Next, researchers plan to look into such factors as culture and upbringing to better understand why some people are more accepting of emotional ups and downs than others.

“By asking parents about their attitudes about their children’s emotions, we may be able to predict how their children feel about their emotions, and how that might affect their children’s mental health,” Mauss said.

Types of heart disease

1)Coronary artery disease:
is the narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply your heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients. This narrowing is caused by plaque build-up (cholesterol, fat deposits and other substances), which is also called atherosclerosis. This type of heart disease is also sometimes called ischemic heart disease.

Coronary artery disease is the most common kind of heart disease, and it causes most heart attacks as well as chest pain from angina.
Vascular disease includes problems in the blood vessels (arteries or veins) and can happen anywhere in the body. Vascular disease can reduce blood flow to parts of the body causing pain or other symptoms depending on the location. For example, people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) may experience pain in their arms or legs. Common causes of vascular disease include the narrowing or blockage of blood vessels from plaque build-up (cholesterol fat deposits and other substances), which is also called atherosclerosis.

2)Heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias):
cause disruptions in the heart’s normal rhythm. A healthy heart should beat in a regular, normal rhythm and at a healthy rate. When a person experiences an arrhythmia, their heart may beat too slowly, too quickly or in a disorganized and irregular manner.

There are many types of heart arrhythmias. Some can have symptoms such as a fluttering or racing heart feeling and some can have no signs or symptoms. Some arrhythmias can be more serious, causing shortness of breath or chest pain, and in rare circumstances can be life-threatening.
Congenital heart disease (CHD, heart defects) is a range of structural problem of the heart that are present during fetal development. There are many different types of CHD including abnormalities of the valves, great vessels, heart walls or chambers. They can be caused by genetic or non-genetic factors. People living with congenital heart disease and their families need support throughout every age and stage of their life. Ongoing medical care and surgical procedures can continue into adulthood.
Heart failure is a chronic condition caused by the heart not functioning as it should or by a problem with its structure. Heart failure can happen if the heart is too weak or too stiff or both. This can lead to fatigue, swelling in the legs and abdomen, and shortness of breath which can be from fluid in the lungs.

The two most common causes of heart failure are heart attack and high blood pressure. There is no cure for heart failure, but early diagnosis, lifestyle changes and medication can help people live an active life, stay out of the hospital and live longer.
Other heart diseases include infections, enlarged heart and inherited disorders. There is more information on specific types of heart disease on our conditions page.

I Am Humiliated; It Is My Reputation, My Honour– Woman in Viral Tapes Alleges Betrayal by Baltasar
HnewssNov 11, 2024 11:05 AM
According to Vanguard, a scandal involving former Director-General of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), Baltasar Engonga, has taken a dramatic turn as Cristel Nchama, one of the women allegedly featured in leaked explicit videos with him, has come forward accusing him of betrayal after a four-year relationship. Nchama has filed a formal complaint with the National Gendarmerie in Malabo, expressing her devastation over the leaked footage, which has caused a national scandal and severely damaged her reputation.

Engonga, who was already under investigation for fraud, faces further scrutiny after authorities reportedly discovered nearly 400 explicit videos. The footage allegedly includes encounters with several high-profile women, such as his brother’s wife, his cousin, a member of the presidential family, the wife of the police director-general, and about 20 ministers' wives.



Nchama stated that she had initially resisted being filmed, trusting that Engonga would respect her privacy. “I am humiliated,” she said. “My reputation and honor are at stake. I want to know how these videos were leaked and why he kept them.” Nchama claims Engonga had promised to delete the footage, describing the leak as a profound betrayal. She is now seeking reparations for the damage to her dignity.

Engonga’s immediate dismissal from ANIF followed the scandal, with the government also suspending several officials allegedly involved in similar activities. As details continue to emerge, the public is left grappling with ethical and privacy concerns in a scandal that has deeply shaken Equatorial Guinea

He said, “Following our recent meeting with Alhaji Aliko Dangote and members of his top management staff in Lagos, we are happy to state the following; Dangote Refinery has obliged IPMAN to lift PMS, AGO and DPK directly for onward supply to IPMAN depots and retail outlets. That this new arrangement with the Dangote refinery will ensure a steady and ceaseless supply of PMS products all over Nigeria, at an affordable rate for Nigerians also.”
