Vegetables are the parts of plants which humans consume as food either raw or cooked and are essential sources of nutrients for the body. Some common vegetables are carrot, cabbage, lettuce, sweet and white potatoes, cucumber, tomato, pumpkin, onion, garlic, pepper, spinach e.t.c

Vegetables are the wellspring of antioxidants which protect the human body from oxidant-related diseases, stress, cancer, inflammation and kidney stones. It boosts the immune system of the body and decrease bone loss.

Vegetables are low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals. It ensures proper bowel function and protects the bowel from protracted constipation, hemorrhoids, colon cancer. Food rich in potassium help to maintain healthy blood pressure. It equally helps the body form red blood cells and it is very good for women of childbearing age because it reduces the risk of neural tube defects.

To cook your vegetables; steam them, do not overcook or microwave your vegetables. Both method destroy enzymes.

You cannot do well in life without ambition.
When I talk about ambition I am not talking about wishful thinking. I am not talking about saying ?I want
to be rich?, ?I want to have my own company?, ?I want to be a Professor?, No! It has to be deeper than
that.

Real ambitions are backed by figures and expectations. When it is, it makes you wake early in the
morning and keeps you from sleeping late into the night.

Real ambition is well defined. It states in naira and kobo your revenue expectations.
Let me ask you, if you could get all the money you wanted, needed and deserved in 2019, how
differently will your life look? What vacation plans will you make? What kind of car will you drive? What
class will you travel?

See; Friend, we all love good life. I do myself; I wouldn?t even lie about it. Everything in me hates poverty
like shit. But, beyond just hating poverty I love wealth. You may have escaped poverty. The goal should
NEVER be subsistent living. Average life does no one no good. The average life gives you the illusion of
good living whereas the distance is like Oyo to Maiduguri. Don?t ever settle for subsistent living.

You can?t afford an average life in 2019. I am excited already on your behalf that 2019 is another
spectacular opportunity to remake your life.

Time to start preparing is NOW! You must NEVER bungle it.

Garlic is a plant in the alliums (onions) family. It is closely related to onions. Garlic grows in many parts of the world and is a popular ingredient in cooking due to its strong smell and delicious taste.
However, throughout ancient history, the main use of garlic is for health and medicinal properties.

Here are some health benefits of garlic:
? Garlic is highly nutritious but has very few calories
? Garlic can combat sickness, including common cold
? The active compound in garlic can reduce blood pressure
? Garlic improves cholesterol levels which may lower the risk of heart disease
? Garlic may help you live longer
? Garlic improve bone health
? Garlic is easy to include in your diet and tastes absolute delicious.

The subject of the Holy Spirit is difficult even for adults to understand. Many people confused it with other spiritual gifts and Christian experiences. To help your child understand what the baptism with the Holy Spirit is all about and to receive it, you should teach him/her what the experience is not.

The baptism of Holy spirit is not:
? The same as salvation; it is a separate and unique gifts following salvation and sanctification. (Acts 19 :1-6)
? Not for adults only: This empowerment is for every Christian including a child ( Acts 2:39)
? Natural: It is a supernatural experience. A child cannot be taught how to speak in tongues or manifest the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus is the baptizer. ( Acts 1:4-8)
? Just for Bible times: This experience is for today as in times of old(Acts 2:39)
? An experience where tongues are optional: Those baptized with the Holy Spirit will receive power and a prayer language. Children take their cue from adults around them and often pray to receive tongues. Encourage them to pray for more of God?s Spirit and power. The tongue will follow. (Acts 1:8)
? Scary: God will do nothing scary to Children. Once your child overcome the fear of unknown, it is easy for him/her to be filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit.

Finally, ensure he/she fulfils the pre-requisite for the Holy Spirit baptism, which includes salvation, sanctification, strong desire and consecration, as well as waiting on God in prayer. You should guide him/her in prayer.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the?Lord?of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the?Lord?of hosts..

The call to redemption is a call to glory. The whole purpose of our election is the fulfillment of the prophesy made by God at creation. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air? The man that emerged after the tragedy of Eden was certainly not the prototype of God. All mortals inherited an inglorious destiny by the error made by one. ?For as by one man′s disobedience many were made sinners (Rom 5:19)?.

The starting point of liberation is knowledge. Some Christians are so well used to the story of Eden and the fall of man that it has become the very pattern of their lives. The real deal for ALL Christians is NOT the fall. The fall is pure history, the real deal is redemption and then Glory!

What exactly is the meaning of glory? Glory means shining beyond the comprehension of men.
How exactly does a Christian shine? Let us for a moment examine the scientific concept of luminous and non-luminous bodies. A luminous body is one which can give light by itself. It possesses the ability to generate light while a non-luminous body is one which does not produce light. Naturally, the sun is the first example of a luminous body, but you will be shocked to learn that the moon and stars are numbered among non-luminous bodies. The reason is that both masses shine only by the reflection of the Sun. If they do not get any ray from the sun they remain blank. In effect therefore, without the sun?s help the moon and the stars are just huge masses of darkness.
The story is much the same for the Christian. No Christian can shine all by himself. Isa 60:1 says ?? and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.? Brethren, no Christian can shine if God?s glory is not shone on him and just as the moon gives no light when it stays away from the sun, just so a Christian shines no brighter than the level of his exposure to God?s word.
?Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path (Ps 119:105)? Hard labour only produces maximum frustration. It is divine leading into genuinely profitable endeavors that makes a man a star. So God?s word shows us the way to the top. In God?s word we see what we were made to be. It is time for Christians to stop praying God to bless what they do and get involved doing what God already blessed. The most blessed of all life endeavors is what God himself instituted. If God instituted a plan, He will secure it to the end. If God created an agenda he will furnish the means all by himself. So the most rewarding thing you can do is to get aboard God?s plan because it?s already blessed.

Now there are at least three attributes of men of glory.

One, they put grace to work. They spend their nights as part of their days. They are no sluggards. ?Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.(Prov 22:29)? . Brethren there are far too many believers who abuse the precious grace of God. Paul speaking in 1 Cor 15:10 says ?But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me?. Men who are preferred even among the best labour night and day seeking to reap a yield on grace. If you are reading this and still sleep ten hours every 24-hour day, you are far from glory!

Two,they keep at it! Glory is never to be a single day occurrence, real glory endures and indeed it does result from a process. The moment of glory with glitters that you see on primetime TV advertorials are products of months, sometimes years of painstaking hard work. So if after your initial trials it seems you have not made much headway, be sure you are sowing a seed and soon it would speak. Please understand dear friend that for every glory there is a waiting period. It took thirty whole years before the glory of Jesus was unveiled.

Lastly, men who shine see farther than their peers. They invest in the future. God took Abraham to the field and asked him to look. God promised to give Abraham the land as far as his eyes can see. You cannot go farther than you can see. Dream big, think ahead and aim high. Very soon, your own star will shine.

I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year ahead.

I remember the story of Helen Keller, one of the world?s most accomplished singers who was also blind. She had been asked ?Is there anything that can ever be worse than being blind?? and then she said one of the world?s most unforgettable words ?The greatest misery in life is not being born blind. The worst misery is having sight and not seeing? Vision!

No one has ever gone further than they can see. People are in poverty today because all they see around them is lack. They cannot for a minute imagine ?what can be?. They cannot imagine the difference that their lives can experience. They refuse to see the possibility that the sons of slaves can become a king. People lack imagination. That is what Helen Keller was talking about.

Vision is more than sight. Vision is the capacity to see beyond your eyes. Everyone who ever became great saw their greatness years before it came. Dear reader, a lot can still happen in 2018 for those who can see it. If you can imagine with your head and mind the things that can change and be different and then go to work on them you can still make 2018 count. When God wanted to bless Abraham he taught him an incredible lesson in visioning. He asked him to go look into the skies.

v14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
v15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. (Gen 13:14-15)

I spoke to a man a couple of weeks ago about his state of lack and all he told me were the many failures he had been through. He blamed everyone else except himself for his woes. That is the best way to fail. You see, the entire talk of this man focused on people who had failed in helping him; holding them to account for his own woes. Very interesting! Can I say to you that men who hold other men accountable for their failures never amount to much, ever! You alone are capable of lifting yourself first by your imagination.

Secondly, men who keep company with ?no-gooders? never do good for themselves. Now look at what happened in the above verses
?v14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him...? Until Abraham left Lot, his vision was shortsighted. Nothing beclouds a man?s vision as much as bad company. People who keep company with failures will inevitably fail. Those who keep company with average people never see excellence. Those who seek company with aspiring, forward-thinking hardworking men will be infected by their virtues. This is pure fact. If you don?t want your vision to be eternally corrupted please run from visionless men.

Dear reader, 2018 is racing very quickly but it can still be your best year ever. It is now 57days before the turn of a new year but God can actually make November the beginning of your 2018. Here is where you should start. Write down the vision you have for your life in spite of the obvious limitations. Write down what it takes to build that dream and start work building it. If you need a higher degree go and get the form. If you need to start a business go right ahead. If you need to learn a skill, start right away. Keep your end goal in focus which is your vision.

Don?t tell your vision to naysayers, they will fight to kill it ?v5. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.? (Gen 15:5). What you need are destiny helpers, people who will give their all to see you flourish not people who will laugh you to scorn upon sharing your dreams. It is my prayer for you this month that God will enlighten the eyes of your understanding and give you the power to pursue after your vision.

Happy new month
