Nick Vujicic:The man without limbs

Personality profile
Nick Vujicic

 Nicholas James Vujicic the eldest son of Dushka and Boris was born in Melbourne, Australia, on December 4, 1982. The infant, though healthy in all other aspects, was born with autosomal recessive tetra-amelia, a rare condition where the child has no limbs at all, except feet with just two toes.However, instead of letting his disability deter his everyday life, he took it as a challenge, using it to change millions of lives with the same faith that kept him going. As a child of ten, he always wondered why he was different from others, and decided to drown himself since he saw no purpose to his living. However, he stopped himself in time, thinking of his loving parents and how much it would hurt them to see him dead. From then on, there was no looking back for this young man, who now has founded his own organization, called ‘Life Without Limbs’. He has released motivational films, like 'Life's Greater Purpose' and 'Biography of a Determined Man of Faith'. He has also written a book titled 'Life Without Limits: Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life'. This speaker has even acted in a short film, ‘The Butterfly Circus’, earning the film three awards, and bagging one himself, for his brilliant portrayal of a man very much like himself, who is given a second chance to love himself. He is a devout Christian, believing that God loves everyone equally, and has taken it upon himself to spread the message to everyone around the world.
 When Nick, as he is known, turned seventeen, he started delivering speeches in his church group. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Commerce, specializing in financial planning and accountancy, from the 'Griffith University' in Queensland.As a speaker, he mainly addresses school children, young adults, and working professionals. He has also spoken at various churches, all across the globe, because he believes that Christ loves him as He loves all his children.
In his career, Nick has travelled to more than sixty countries around the world, and has touched the lives of millions of people. In 2005, he established an NGO named 'Life Without Limbs', which has its headquarters in Agoura Hills, California.
 Nick is an evangelist who is known for his organization, ‘Life Without Limbs’, that hosts events and presents talks on courage and faith in God to overcome any adversity faced in life.In 2012, Vujicic got married to the love of his life, Kanae Miyahara, and the couple have been blessed with a son, Kiyoshi James.

10 KINDS OF PEOPLE YOU MUST NOT MARRY

 

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favour from the LORD. Proverbs 18: 22. (NKJV)  This means getting a woman or man to marry requires due diligence. You have to look for the right person. This is foundational. You know when the foundation is faulty there  will be cracks on the walls. This does not imply that you must get ‘the right person’ as if when you miss the person you can never find another right person. But is it saying that it is good to marry. Marriage commands favour from God and men

Over twenty years ago, I saw this scripture and believed it and began to confess it in prayer every day. Not long after, I meet a lady and we agreed to marry. At a job interview a week to the wedding, the panel asked if I am married. And I told them it will be by the following week and they said the job could be given to me as a wedding present. That day I got a job to a managerial position in a glass manufacturing company. Marriage commands favour.

However, you must search for the right kind of man or woman to marry. Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. (Proverbs 19:14 NKJV) This means when you see a prudent man of woman you should realise it.

The following are the kinds of a  person you should not marry:

1.       Don’t marry unbeliever. 

Do not marry a person who does not have the same belief with you. Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? (Amos 3:3 NKJV) Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14 NKJV)

 

2.       Don’t marry a married person. 

"So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." (Matthew 19:6 NKJV)

 

3.       Don’t marry an angry person. 

Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go, (Proverbs 22:24 NKJV). If a person cannot deal with anger before marriage, the attitude will be worse in marriage. Anger is destructive.

 

4.       Don’t marry thief.

 If your spouse is a thief your future is at stake. Watch out!  Zechariah 5:3-4. Some don’t only steal from men; they rob God in tithes and offering. Somebody who is not to paying tithes on his or her income accurately, regularly and promptly is not a good marriage material.

5      Don’t marry a jobless person. 

That you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, (1 Thessalonians 4:11 NKJV)  Don't marry an NFA- who has 'No Future Ambition'.

 

6.       Don’t marry a stingy person

 

7.       Don’t marry a disobedient person or a fornicator

 

8.       Don’t marry a fatherless person. 

Even if his or her father is dead, there must be a person in his or her life that stands in the position of a father. Somebody highly respected.

 

9.     Don’t marry a stranger.
 Find out where he or she comes from. Know them and let them know you. Don’t marry a faceless person simply because he or she shows up in church.
Then who should you marry?Marry the person that will reflect the opposite of the the ten people you must not marry.

Man Accidentally Sends Sexual Message To His Prayer Group

 

A WhatsApp message has earned a man identified as Ochieng Ochola some serious critcisms from Twitter users across the world since it went viral on Monday, October 26, 2015.

The message which had some sexually explicit content was intended for his wife but he accidentally sent it to his prayer group known as ‘Embakasi Prayer Cell’

The conversation that started with a message of goodwill to Fred and Marion, who were celebrating their anniversary took a different shape after Bro Ochollo sent the message which was contrary to the subject of discussion at the moment.

He wrote: “You seem to love my voice. This voice will whisper asking how you are feeling when you will be having your orgasm at cloud nine.”

A shocked member of the group immediately replied with an ‘Oops!’.

Remorseful Bro Ocholla immediately noticed the error and apologised to the group, but he wasn’t that lucky as the message was screen grabbed and sent over the internet by one of the group members.

By Tuesday, October 27, 2015 Bro Ocholla became the subject for discussion on Twitter with some condemning his message and others making some fun out of it.

 Here are some of the reactions from Twitter users:
 Kenya Airways ✔ @KenyaAirways
Bro Ocholla, we can fly you above Cloud Nine. Check out http://bit.ly/1K9cSbv  for great holiday offers.
 Durex Kenya @DurexKE

When you are on Cloud 8 and Bro Ocholla wants to give you a lift to Cloud 9.

Aloice Makilya @Almakilya 

 Bro Ocholla should grab this opportunity and launch his own ministry... Cloud Nine Ministry.

 Ciru Muriuki ツ @CiruMuriuki

I'm just here for all the girls laughing at Bro Ocholla in public and trying his number in private.

 Shiko @ShikoNguru

Bro Ocholla should have followed up that message by quickly saying: "Brothers and Sisters in Christ, beware of the many forms of the devil!"

How to cook Afang soup.

 

 Origin: Calabar Nigeria (Akwa-Ibom)

This is a traditional Nigerian stew made from the leaves of the forest plant Cnetum   africanum , known as afang , ukazi or okazi .
Ingredients:
500g meat (any combination of stewing meat, oxtail, tripe and/or bush meat [game])
1 hot chilli pepper, chopped
several periwinkles or any kind of edible sea snail (substitute shellfish if not available)
2 onions chopped
2 pieces of dried fish (stockfish) soaked in water and with skin and bones removed ? (for preparing your own, see the recipe on how to prepare salt fish/stockfish)
1.2kg afang leaves, cleaned de-stemmed, torn and pounded in a pestle and mortar (outside Africa substitute any strong-tasting greens)
450g waterleaf Talinum triangulare (or spinach)
200g dried prawns, crushed
400ml palm oil
water or stock

Method:

Add some 500ml of water to a large casserole pot and bring almost to a boil. Add the meat and cook for a few minutes on high heat before adding the onion and chili. Reduce the heat, cover the pot and allow to simmer.
While the meat is cooking bring some 600ml of lightly-salted water to boil in a separated pan. Add the periwinkles, cover and cook for some 3 minutes before removing the snails and setting aside. At this stage use a toothpick to remove the meat from the shells. Cut off the inedible 'foot' and rinse the meat under cold water. Sprinkle with the lemon or lime juice and add to the casserole along with the dried fish. Cover and simmer for some seven minutes.
Add the greens to the casserole along with the dried prawns. Top-up the water if needed before adding the palm oil. Season, cover and cook for some 35 minutes, until the greens and meat are completely tender.
Serve with FuFu or boiled and mashed yams.

Teach your children about financial independence

Do u Want your children to develop good money habits for life? Then teach them well from the start. Use these tips from parents and top personal finance experts as your lesson plan.To help your kids master essential money skills—and some day break free from you—devote time to financial home schooling. Parents are the biggest influence on their children’s financial habits, more so than work experience or financial literacy courses.

 Here are 6 Ways to Teach Your Kids to Be Financially Independent

1. Tie a “No” Today to a “Yes” Tomorrow

“My wife and I have three children, ages 6, 4, and 2. While they are still a little young for in-depth money lessons, we make a point to involve them in family finances and try to make talking about financial responsibility and independence a part of our daily life. This usually happens in a thousand little, ordinary ways. An instance that comes to mind is when my four-year-old son asked if we could go to a local pizza and games restaurant that he loves. I said no, but went on to explain to him that it costs a lot of money for our family to enjoy an evening there. I reminded him of our vacation in a few months and said we were saving up so that we can have a lot of fun on our trip. It was a good way to teach him about the important principle of delayed gratification and the lesson that sometimes you have to say ‘no’ to things you want now, to enjoy better things in the future.” —John Schmoll 

 

2. Let Them Make Spending Mistakes.

 “From the time our children were three or four years old, we’ve given them opportunities to earn money by doing chores and projects. When we’re out shopping, they can bring their own money and spend it however they’d like (within reason!). Not only do they learn money management skills, but this helps prevent the ‘gimme’ attitude. If a child sees something they want and asks if we can buy it, I always respond, ‘Do you have enough money for it?’ It also gives them the chance to make money mistakes. They’ve learned valuable lessons when they’ve purchased cheap items that broke almost immediately, and we’ve had great discussions on how to make wise purchases. We’d much rather they made $3 mistakes when they are little to hopefully prevent some $3,000 and $30,000 mistakes down the road.” — Crystal Paine,author of Say Goodbye to Survival Mode?

 

3. Show Them That Work is Rewarding

“’I get an M&M mama?’ my talkative toddler asks. I reply, ‘Yes, if you complete the job.’ Even at 2 1/2 years old, I’m attempting to lay financial foundations in my son’s life. At this age, he doesn’t care a thing in the world about real money, but when I break out the M&Ms he knows I mean business. That’s because chocolate is a special treat reserved for a reward. At this stage, candy talks, and I can teach my son about finances with food. He is learning that when he uses the potty, picks up after himself, or helps me with a chore, he is paid for his work in delicious, color-coated chocolate candies. He’s beginning to understand that hard work is rewarded. That’s a trait my parents instilled in me, and I desire to pass along. Cash and chore charts will eventually replace sweets, but until then, candy paychecks are perfectly fine by him. Coins just don’t taste as good.” — Kim Anderson

 

4. Break Out the 24-Hour Rule

“I’m blown away that my teenage daughter still remembers going to the flea market together years ago and learning a cool buying lesson from her mom. (As all us moms know, this is a rare and exotic occurrence!) Though I liked a pair of earrings, I waited a day to think it over, knowing that they would likely still be there if I changed my mind. Sure enough, after a day of thinking about it, I realized they weren’t all that special and that I’d rather wait to get something that I loved. To this day, whenever my daughter and I are out shopping and can’t make a decision, we invoke the ’24 Hour Rule.’” —Beth Kobliner

 

5. Talk About Debt, Too

“My two boys aren’t quite old enough for serious money lessons yet, but one thing I’m excited to teach them early on is the importance of smartly managing debt. If they want to buy something on their own, like a toy, they’ll have three choices: 1) Buy it now, 2) Save to buy it later, or 3) Borrow money from us. If they choose to borrow, they’ll have payment terms and interest just like a regular loan. My hope is that they can learn the consequences of debt, both good and bad, before it has any real-world implications for them and without the lectures and scare tactics. Then they’ll have the skills and experience to make smarter choices once they’re out on their own.” — Matt Becker

6. Make Them Work for Wants

“A key factor in reaching financial independence is what you spend. Some spending is needed and necessary. But it’s the ‘wants’ that can get people in trouble. Therefore, when our kids ask for a non-essential item, we reply with a two-step plan: 1. First, wait a week. If you still want it, we’ll get it then (most times the ‘want’ goes away by the end of the first day); 2. If you still want it after the week passes, you have to work around the house to earn half of the purchase price—even if you have enough in savings to pay for it. The second step forces them to think if the amount of work required to purchase the item is worth it to them. If they follow through with the required work, then we know that they’re serious about the purchase, rather than just expressing a fleeting, short-term desire.Several times the “acquiring of money to pay for the thing” becomes almost exciting as the actual purchase.” — Kevin McKinley
