THANKING GOD FOR A PERSON THAT INFLUENCED ME

It's been a great day. I can't but be grateful to God for journey mercy-over 6 hours of traveling on Nigerian roads and arriving at my destination safe and sound.
Moving by the gratitude plan, I will thank God for a person that has influenced me. We meet people everyday and every time but they impact us
in different ways.
I have been positively influenced by a number of people over the years,yet I am grateful for someone who had influenced me positively- especially into the world of good books,
self help books- My elder sister. She always brought home some christian literature and self help books from her college's library, and I found them so wonderful, from reading Gifted hands by Ben Carson, to reading Power of positive thinking by Norman Vincent Peale and other amazing books by John Maxwell.These books all whetted my appetite for more , till I went for more great books by Zig Ziglar at the state library. The works of Zig Ziglar influenced me more into the world of motivation and a bit of selling.
I thank God for all the wonderful people who influenced me, most especially my elder sister, Layo.


With all Gratitude,

Emmanuel Ayeni

THANK GOD FOR A COMFORTABLE THING

Today as always I am once again a grateful soul. I am grateful for a comforting thing.
In actual sense there are so many things we can always be grateful for as they are still comforting amidst the vagaries of life.
It's so comforting to know that though sorrow last for a night time, joy comes in the morning.
It's comforting to know that God's plans for us are plans of good not of evil.

It's also comforting to know the whole world lies amidst so much abundance and if we believe, desire and add action to faith, we will surely receive in bountiful measures.

It's comforting to know that a man can begin to alter the course of his own life through conscious effort based on God's ability resident in Him.

Alll these are comfortable and I am grateful to God.

Grateful soul,
Emmanuel Ayeni

THANK GOD FOR PROBLEMS SOLVED

DAY 7 of 30


THANK GOD FOR PROBLEMS SOLVED
If we set our mind to thank and appreciate God, we will discover how indebted we are to him.
A Yoruba proverb stresses that ' gratitude is usually the product of deep thinking' . This means we can never run out of reasons for being grateful.
So tonight I choose to thank God for problems solved. The whole world is full of problems ... and also solutions. It all depends on the spectacle through which we see the world.
One person looks and sees problems another looks and sees or anticipates a solution.
Problems give us capacity for growth, I thank GOD for problems solved.
It will be almost impossible to pinpoint only one problem solved out of the many wonderful stories i could possibly share, however, I am so grateful for how the problem of my University admission was solved.
I had graduated from the high school and applied for admission into the university via the University Matriculation Examination but I stillcouldnt gain admssion due to my low test scores, I took the exam the 2nd and 3rd time, I refused to give up my plan and desire for a University degree and so I attempted the exam again even while at the polytechnic and I finally made it to the University.

I am grateful for this and many more problems solved.

Grateful!

THANK GOD FOR FAMILY

30 DAYS OF GRATITUDE CHALLENGE
DAY 6 0F 30

THANK GOD FOR FAMILY
Today I am grateful for family members. The family is the smallest unit of every society. Family is the greatest unit of socialization. My family members are members of my clan, we are the basic structure on which the.entire civilization hinges. The family is the first unit of education,social interaction and integration in the first developmental phase of any child.

My family is my home team, they got my back anytime. They believed in me when there was actually nothing to really believe. They kept on hoping even when there was nothing to hope for and even no hope in sight.
My family members are my best supporters, my number one fan base.They are my best cheer-leaders.
My family members are my soundboard for my numerous ideas, they listen objectively, critique constructively while commending, recommending and commending me all the way.
My family members are my key investors, they are worth.more than a billion dollars to.me.
I have been privileged to come from a great and interesting family with wonderful Parents, Sisters, brothers, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Grandpa- and ofcourse, my fiancee too,they are all God's invaluable blessings to me and I am forever grateful.

I am sure we all have got one or more family members we are grateful for.Please join the gratitude challenge ad share them with us in the comments section.below.

THANK GOD FOR TALENT

THANK GOD FOR TALENT
In this day 5 of 30, while I am grateful for a nice day with a wonderful movie hangout with friends and members of my Network Marketing company (Avenues to Wealth), I will still keep to the current gratitude plan and appreciate God for TALENT.
Talent is the innate ability developed or undeveloped which a man possesses. A talent is a gift or a natural endowment. I thank God for a couple of talents I am blessed with both tapped and yet untapped. Researchers propound that every super achiever has only used an infinitesimal part of all his mental endowment! indeed we are powerful beyond measure.

A study once revealed that the human brain is capable of comprehending a minimum of over 27 languages in his life-time, this shows the extent at which it's possible to not have developed all our vast talents- everyone is a potential hyperglot!
While I may not be a polyglot ( a master of multiple languages) yet, I am grateful for several other talents, ability to connect deeply with people of varying backgrounds,interest in new languages, a unique voice that has been complimented by God's grace times without number, and mostespecially my speaking and writing talent. They have been a blessing to me in times past and I believe they also hold for me a world of possibilities now and in the not-distant future. I am grateful to GOD .

What talents are you grateful for, I will appreciate your decision to share with me in the comments section.
Be blessed!

30 DAYS OF GRATITUDE : THANK GOD FOR A TEACHER

THANK GOD FOR A TEACHER

I thank God for the gift of teachers. A teacher is an indispensable guide in our quest for knowledge. A teacher is always the human bridge from our ignorance to the point of awareness.
Today I am grateful to all the teachers who have imparted skill and knowledge to me, they have challenged me and helped me grow. Talking of teachers, I am grateful first of all to my parents, they were my early teachers in life. They taught me to read, cook, ride the bicycle and to be good to everyone that comes my way.
All through my young life, I have met a lot of teachers and I am grateful for them all, however, a great teacher who inspired me so much is by the name Vivienne. She motivated us to study and excel and encouraged us all to read sound and positive books- good literature.
Thank God for great teachers!


I am grateful to GOD

30 DAYS OF GRATITUDE: THANKING GOD FOR AN EXPERIENCE

DAY 3 OF 30

30 DAYS OF GRATITUDE: THANKING GOD FOR AN EXPERIENCE

Today is the day 3 of 30 in the 30 days of Gratitude. Going by the plan which I have chosen to follow for these 30 days, we will thank God for an experience.

I believe we are the sum-total of our life’s experiences, while I am grateful for all wonderful experiences, I will choose today to appreciate God for a unique experience. For clarity sake, I will proceed to a clear definition of what an is experience.
According to Google, experience (noun) means "practical contact with, and observation of facts or events" It can also be "an event or occurrence which leaves an impression on someone."

Merriem Webster’s dictionary also sums up experience as follows;
noun \ik-ˈspir-ē-ən(t)s\

: the process of doing and seeing things and of having things happen to you
: skill or knowledge that you get by doing something
: the length of time that you have spent doing something (such as a particular job)

So in the context of this article, I choose to be grateful to God for every wonderful events that has happened to me or the practical contacts with, and observation of facts that I have had - most especially my spiritual experiences.
This is going to be a spirituality post, just like it is usual of my Sunday posts, I thank God for my spiritual experiences most especially the unique experience of my salvation- the day I became born again, for lay readers, this was the day I became a friend and follower of Jesus Christ.

16“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him- John 3:16-17 (NLT)

My salvation experience was when I chose with all consciousness to serve the Lord Jesus Christ; I made a decision for him to become my Lord and Saviour by accepting the works of salvation and redemption of mankind from sin and reconciliation of men back to God. He did this by willingly offering his blood (life) as a sacrifice on the cross of Calvary and rising again on the third day. All this accounts can be found from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John of the New Testament of a wonderful book- The Holy Bible. This Book is God’s powerful word. There are versions of it sold world-wide and even available for free online as well.
I gave my life to Christ as a young school boy who was, though brought up in a Christian home,but had gone on secret escapades of experimenting with stuffs too young for a young school boy. However, the true change came when I began to read the brown old Bible written in Yoruba in our then face-me-and- i- face-you (bungalow) apartment...that's story now... about that time I met a Christian friend in school who shared the new birth message with me so I prayed and asked Jesus to come into my heart and fill me with His wonderful Holy Spirit. Oh what joy ! And what peace I felt at that instant. I thank God for that experience.

This salvation experience was an amazing one and has been for me the beginning of a whole new life. Deciding to make a personal relationship I believe anyone can make...This is possible when you acknowledge you are a sinner and invite Jesus into your life with a simple prayer called the sinner's prayer like one shared below...This ushers you into a wonderful experience which will be the beginning of an exciting journey you will ever be grateful and thankful for.

SINNER'S PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. In Jesus Name!
Amen

I am grateful for many wonderful experiences most especially my salvation experience.
