Inspirational Quotes From Social Media, #99.

"A woman was forcefully taken by five men who according to hospital and police reports said that she was raped by a gang of men before they dumped her at a bus stop.
When she regained consciousness, she was unable to remember the events of the previous evening. But the tests that were carried out on her revealed that she had been raped repeatedly. The tests also revealed that there were traces of "Rohypnol" in her blood. "Rohypnol" is presently being used by rapists to rape their victims. "Rohypnol" is actually a small sterilization pill which is now being used by rapists to drug their targets especially at parties. The drug makes the minds of the targets (would be victims) go blank so that they don't remember anything that transpired and worse still, the drug sterilizes the victims so that thet don't conceive from rapes and the rapists need not worry about having their identities revealed later by paternity tests.
The real bad news is that the drug have very bad side effects.
"The Side Effects "Are Not TEMPORARY But Sadly, They Are PERMANENT".
Any female that takes it "WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE".
Rohypnol is administered by dropping it into the target's drink. Their targets wouldn't remember a thing the next morning, nothing at all that had taken place the night before will be remembered.
Rohypnol, dissolves rapidly and easily in drinks, leaving no taste and no change in colors which makes it impossible to detect. It's that easy and Rohypnol is about to break out big on campuses everywhere.
Believe it or not,there are even sites on the internet telling people how to use it.
Girls, please be careful when you are out, especially in a party. Girls should avoid leave their drinks unattended.
To be on safer sides, they should at least buy their own drinks. They should ensure that bottles or cans that are given to them are not opened or that they are sealed and they should not even taste someone else's drink.
FOR GUYS:
Please,inform all your female family members,relatives and friends. 
Always remember that you also have sisters or that one day,you and your sisters may have daughters.

"The semiliterate of today are people who have degrees but have no skills. Degrees are fast losing their relevance. Almost everything you learn at university can be sourced from the Internet. Without practical skills, degrees won’t pay your critical bills. Some people don’t have degrees, but they have ideas and, practical skills and abilities and degree holders work for them.

An example is Apple. It was founded by two skilled men-Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak (although Wozniak later got a BSE). Yet, Apple has thousands of PhDs working for them. 

1 Chronicles 15:22 teaches that skill (not degrees) makes you a leader. Many people are not leading because they depend on their certificate rather than their skills."-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).

Inspirational Quotes From Social Media, #97.

"My name is Nicki Cruz."

I was born into a family bound by witchcraft. My father was a satanic priest, my mother was a witch. My parents were deeply immersed in shamanism and black magic.

When I was born, I was raised and dedicated to Satan, my head was anointed with blood. I inherited my father's mantle, so it became a curse on my life.

When I was a child, I never got a single kiss from my mother, nor did I kiss her. I felt like i died when I was eight years old when i heard my mother say she didn't love me..

I felt no affection and I got brutally beat up multiple times until I was eight.

Many times i lay unconscious in a pool of blood.

At the age of 4 I wanted to kill myself

You know when your mom calls you "freak", "bastard" it really hurts.

I eventually realized she didn't love me and I hated her because of it…that I screamed with a broken heart that I would rather be called a "nothing" than to be called her son.

The last time she slapped me I was 8 years old, I swore I would never love anyone and cry again in my life.

At the age of fifteen I ended up in New York in the Mau Mau gang named after a blood thirsty African tribe.

The gang became my "family" that I never had.

A family of hooligans who draw their strength from each other and look out for each other.

New York is a city where you have to have eyes in your neck. It was all about survival. You had to abide by the laws of the jungle. And the beast doesn't know the difference between good and evil. The beast must be killed to survive.

I could always remember my mother's voice grabbing my hair and smashing my head against the wall so blood would flow.

I tried to look into her eyes like fireballs to see something human but all I saw was coldness and hate. And I heard "You're not my son, I don't love you! Get out of my life, I don't want to see you! "

Being in that gang I knew I was gonna die young, but in my life I was already dead. I died when I was eight years old when my mother said she didn't love me.

At 16, I led that gang myself in New York.

I fell into the depths of hell, thought about suicide many times.

When the police arrested me, I was isolated from all the other prisoners because I was dangerous.

The court ordered me to see a psychiatrist. Finally I met Dr. Goodman He took me to one of the worst hospitals ever a very famous hospital for crazy people. Then he took me to another psychiatric clinic in Manhattan.

Six months later, when we were walking with him on the street, he directly told me, "You're just cold! I tried to infiltrate you, punch you in the chest to get some kind of emotional response. But you're completely lifeless, you're very dangerous!”

And he said “there ain’t nothing I can do for you Nicki! You go straight to jail to the electric chair. F## you! And there is no hope for you. You are dead!”

But by the grace of God these words did not come to pass!

God became my last hope and in my misery He found me. I never thought about God in my childhood until suddenly this man, Pastor Wilkerson, fell down from heaven into our neighborhood.

The police warned him: "They are going to kill you." This jungle, this a battlefield "All we gotta do is come get your body. "

Wilkerson answered them with great conviction: "God will be with me!"

The police said, "We hope he's going with you because we're not going!"

This man was used by God. When I showed no interest in anyone, God showed interest. He put great love in this man's heart and brought him to New York's biggest city with a message of hope.

Just two weeks before this, my psychiatrist said: “Nicky, you’re stepping on the electric chair and you’re going to hell! "

But Wilkerson said “no he’s not!”

It's heaven, it's God. It's Jesus Christ who died for your sins, who gave his life for you, just like you're willing to give your life for your friends, gang members, boyfriends and girlfriends.

There is a God who is truly the living God His name we remember. But when one of you dies - no one remembers you, you're not there anymore. But Jesus is always there. He is not dying ! "

And this is the most important news David Wilkerson has ever given me.

And I approached him and started hitting him.

I would not let him go. He couldn't get rid of me that easy.

I cursed him, his God and everything in this world.

Like a wild animal, I jumped on him, grabbed his hair and began banging his head against the wall. Just like my mother did to me.

But this guy, ignoring the pain and blood, said in the middle of the street, in the presence of three hundred witnesses, "Nicky, I'm not scared."

“I came here to give you the news from heaven. I came to tell you Nikki Jesus loves you! "

And when he told me that, I withdrew."

I've got my eyes on him. And he said, "If you want, you can kill me." And I know you can. But even if you kill me and cut me into a thousand pieces and scatter them across the street, remember: every piece will scream to you: Nicki, Jesus loves you! "

This hit me hard. It felt like a stroke in the heart.

Two weeks later I went to listen to this man.

I didn't go alone, I brought 70 guys as security to listen to this skinny guy.

To my great surprise, two thousand people were already there. Twelve gangs. We came prepared. I came in with a loaded 22 caliber pistol.

And that night for seven minutes, even though I was so restless, high off drugs, seven minutes later something happened to me that night.

Wilkerson told why Jesus came to earth. What really moved me was the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

The first few minutes seemed boring to me.

But then I saw Jesus Christ crucified before my eyes, so alive that I thought I was there, and saw Him die.

And this has touched me deeply.

I was struck by the perseverance of Jesus. Loyalty to friendship. He, Jesus, friend, the best friend you could ever have.

He is not a lying politician who promises a lot and fails to deliver. He promises you eternal life. He promised to die for you - and He fulfilled it. And I admire a Jesus like that.

It was the first time in my life I felt respect for someone. And this honor brought me to kneel before my saviour Jesus Christ.

Glory be to Jesus! "

Today, Nicky Cruz travels the world, ministering and preaching the gospel.

The former callous "beast" teaches people about forgiveness and love.

He is the founder of the "Ministry of Nicki Cruz" which helps young people leave a life of crime and turn to Christ and serve Him.

Pastor Cruz is also the author of many books, including a bestseller, "Run, Baby Run."-Randys777's post on X-platform (2024).

Inspirational Quotes From Social Media, #96.

275.
"BEING HUMBLE CAN KEEP YOU ALIVE."

"In 1988, I was working in Kaduna, Northern, Nigeria. Our company was handling a project in Okene for an Army General. I was the project manager. 

After work on that fateful day, we traveled to Ajaokuta for fun. I sat in the front of the station wagon car with the driver. 
A junior staff was sitting behind me. He suddenly said, “Sir, you are the boss; move to the back seat.” I came out of the car immediately, and we swapped seats. I did not know that I just saved my life. 

We started traveling, and I slept off. Fifteen minutes later, the man was dead. Seeing that we were asleep, the driver started speeding, and a front tyre bursts.

The car somersaulted and threw the man who took my place out of the car, and he died instantly. May his soul rest in peace. 

In 2020, during the End Sars riot, I was in Akure, the capital of Ondo state. We tried to get out of town on the way to Lagos. We got to where they beat anyone who looked like a ‘big man.’ They were breaking and setting cars on fire. I was using the car of my friend Reverend Victor Adeyemi of Global Harvest. 

My driver said, “Sir, get down and start walking. Don’t let these boys kill you. I will see you when I see you”. I immediately got down and walked for 4 hours in the scorching and unfriendly weather until I found a hotel and checked in. I did not see my driver until 7 hours later. He saved my life. 

Hello, why are you constantly arguing? Why are you so stubborn? Why don’t you listen to what people say to you in good faith? Why do you think you are so powerful and all-knowing? You may die young due to pride. 

I gave you just two instances, but I have many more. Humble yourself to prolong your life."-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024), Slightly edited.

"IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS AND YOUR HEALTH."
"The immigration problem is now a significant cause of high blood pressure, hypertension, mental health issues, depression, and marital breakdowns. 

Friends, it is not a matter of life and death. What will be will be. 

You will need good health to enjoy your immigration status when you eventually get it. Look after your health today. 

Las, las, you will be okay. 

I reported at the police station three times a week for eight years; I was detained for five weeks, I was taken to Gatwick Airport to be deported, I lost appeals in court several times, I used eight different lawyers and spent thousands of pounds despite my wife and children being British Citizens. 

I made up my mind to fight and win. I was always in church doing praise and worship. I was always laughing and joking. I even released two gospel albums in 1999 and 2000. It shall not be well with the devil. 

Today, different nationalities want me to help them settle in the United Kingdom. 

Your situation is not as bad as mine, so don’t give up. Fight, fight, and relax. 

This is my story. My three children saw my pain, my trials, my challenges and my sorrow. Without forcing them, they also became lawyers to fight for Justice. 

I hope this lifts you!"-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).

"There are two big scams in the world. The first scam is the belief that painkillers actually kill pain. No, they don’t. They just manage pain. The second is the belief that a salary can cure poverty. No, it doesn’t. It just manages poverty. Stop being scammed. When a rat is eating your toes, it blows air on it so you don't feel pain till it is too late. Your job is the rat. Your salary is the air. Your sack is the time when it is too late. Salary can't make you rich. Save your toes. Kill the rat by starting your own business."-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).

Inspirational Quotes From Social Media, #93

"Common Tautologies That Project Less Class"

"First, what is a tautology? It is to use two or more words with the same meanings, which in polite society indicates a deficiency in education and class. 

Many people who use clichéd tautologies think they sound intellectual. But to the discerning, they appear common. 

There is nothing like a future plan. That is bad English, but too many people, including well-educated ones, use it. Every plan is focused on the future. It is impossible to plan the past. You can only learn from it. Therefore, to say you have a future plan is a tautology. And to talk about your plans for the future makes you seem less knowledgeable than you may actually be. 

Similarly, there is no such thing as a regular routine. A routine is by its very nature, something you do regularly. You can say daily routine or just routine. That is grammatical and commonsensical. When you qualify routine with words like daily, weekly, etc, you are describing the regularity of the rhythm, which is acceptable. 

Also, the use of exact same is repetitive and incongruent to English grammar. Exact and same have identical meanings. They should be used interchangeably, not consecutively. 

Saying my personal favourite is another common usage that is unnecessary. My favourite will suffice. You cannot have a favourite that is not personal to you, except you are referring to another person's choice. 

Another combination of words that can confuse is saying things like, I gave them two two each. You could say I gave it to them in twos, or I gave them two each. Either of these conveys a better meaning for what you are trying to say. 

And it is unnecessary to use the term write down or write it down. The use of down is not needed. Please can you write your number will suffice and is more accurate than please can you write your number down or could you please write down your number? Think about it for a second. Do people write their numbers, or anything for that matter, up? 

Also, when you use the term close proximity to describe distance, you are needlessly repeating two words that convey the same meaning. You could say my house is close. Or you may want to indicate that my house is within proximity. But it is an overkill to say my house is within close proximity.

Also, religious persons like to say heaven above. The thing is that heaven is always above. Therefore, the above is unnecessary.

Additionally, when correcting people, especially alarmists, you do not need to say that they over-exaggerate. Exaggerate is sufficient. The term over exaggerate is itself an exaggeration. You are, in effect, guilty of what you accuse the person you are scolding of doing.

And when you say first and foremost, you sound verbose. Either of the two would suffice. For example, you can say first, I was not there. You could also say it is foremost to note that I was not there. But to say first and foremost is to add to what is already sufficient. And the more intelligent you are, the more meaning you convey with fewer words.

Another common tautology is unite together. To unite is to come together. Therefore, it is only necessary to say let us unite. However, if that is too plain for you, you may want to say let us come together. 

I do hope these examples have helped you understand some ways by which we can communicate better. My motivation for this is Yeshua (Jesus). While on Earth, He spoke in common diction. He used everyday words. It was easy to understand him because he avoided highfalutin language. 

True intelligence, in my opinion, is communicated using the simplest form of speech. Because the purpose of speaking is to communicate, not to impress."-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).

Inspirational Quotes From Social Media, #92.

266.
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT DELAYS."
"Many of you who follow me on social media admire my life, but my life was riddled with delays. 

Today, I will tell you a story that will change your life. Many people have become sickly or died prematurely because they were worried about delays in certain areas of life. They died worrying about the future. They worried about delays in their career, business, marriage, or ministry. 

Getting to the position that I am today shows that even though you may suffer from delays in your life, it does not mean you will be a failure. 

Before I started primary school, I was made to wait for a year so that I could start with my half-sister. 

When I completed primary school, I could not go to secondary school immediately because I lacked money to pay my fees. I had to work as a houseboy for an Indian couple in Ondo Town, Nigeria, for a year before starting secondary school. 

After completing my secondary school education, I had to wait another year before starting my A Level. 

When I finished A Level, I had to wait 11 years to attend the university because there was no helper. I started university in the UK after having two children, and I paid for it privately. 

Here we are today. The man who struggled with his school fees due to poverty sent his children to private schools and paid for his children’s university education without student loans or bursaries. 

So, don’t worry about delay. Don’t kill yourself. Don’t give up. Keep working hard and believing in God for a story like mine. Only compete against yourself. 

If I had given up, you wouldn’t be reading my story today. Delay is nothing if you don’t give up on your dreams. Share to encourage someone."-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).

"A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner.

Father being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt and trousers. Others diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm.

After he finished eating, his son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took him to the wash room, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed his hair and fitted his spectacles firmly. When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that.

The son settled the bill and started walking out with his father.

At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, "Don't you think you have left something behind?"

The son replied, "No sir, I haven't".

The old man retorted, "Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for every father".

The restaurant went silent.

To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors. Share if you agree."-Anonymous author.

"A lady sent me a message some days ago.

She was telling me how that it seems God is partial

That she sees me and it seems that everything is going well for me and that things that God is doing in my life

But that things have been so bad for her

I said “Sister sit down and let me tell you a story

————————————————————————

In 2022, it was one week to my engagement and it ended

Yes you read that right.

The person that I was supposed to marry said he was not doing again

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My mum had bought chicken 

My dad was in the process of repainting our living room because we were expecting in-laws 

And just like that, it wasn’t like we had quarrel or anything.

I looked up to heaven with the most pain I’ve ever felt in my life

I cried to sleep and I cried waking up.

The embarrassment on my family
The disappointment 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I can’t even begin to unpack that onwe of my life

But then I went to my Father in heaven like the daughter of Zelophehad and I can never forget 

Because where else can we go?

In whom else is there help????

I asked him “Lord what’s my inheritance in you “??

I thought you led me here????

I can never forget the words I heard that day

“He said Deborah, do you trust me”???

I said yes Lord

He said “Hold my hand and keep coming”

The Holyspirit started healing my heart

And In a few months, my husband showed up and the rest they say is history.

—————————————————————————-

🤍 I’m sharing this story to let you know that everyone goes through tough times

Sometimes people don’t share their tough moments but mostly you don’t hear their struggles 

So don’t feel like it’s just you

God does not promise us a life free of troubles
But he promised to be there every step of the way

🤍You may not have all the answers to all the questions but you can’t let go of God

In your confusion, in your pain, just keep holding on

It won’t be easy in the moment but I promise you, God will come through at the end

🤍Stay with God

Just stay there

It will make sense when the dust settles

I hope this encourages your heart 

God bless!"-Deborah Ocheido's post on X-platform (2024).
