Prayer for the New week

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter: "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river." The little girl said: "No, Dad. You hold my hand." "What's the difference?" asked the puzzled father. "There's a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."........... OUR PRAYER IS SIMPLE In whatever bridge of life u maybe crossing, may the Almighty God hold your hand and never let u down in Jesus name.
May your doors of success be always open to you. May you see opportunities where other people see troubles. May the Lord's presence never hide from u. May He grant all the desires of your heart. Because of you, your family is blessed. You will always stand & not fall. Abundant wealth and good health shall be your portion now and always in Jesus name.
I decree and declare a new level of success, promotion, and prosperity over your work, your business, your finances, your relationship and family. Your heavens will be open and hindrances shall give way. You shall excel in all good things, at all times, with all people, and under every circumstance. In whatever you do, situations will bow down before you; systems, ordinances, institutions, policies and legislature will adjust for you to have your desired breakthroughs. Go forth and possess your possessions in Jesus mighty name.’ (Amen)
Happy new week from us ASB-World.

'A Must Read'

Your Mother carried you inside of her womb for nine whole months, she felt sick for months with nausea, then she watched her feet swell and her skin stretch and tear. She struggled to climb stairs, she got breathless quickly and even a simple task like putting her shoes on was a huge struggle for her. She suffered many sleepless nights while you kicked and squirmed inside of her and while you demanded that she scoffed junk at 3am, she then went through EXCRUCIATING PAIN to bring you into this world.

She became your nurse, your chef, your maid, your chauffeur, your biggest fan, your teacher, your agony aunt and your best friend. She's struggled for you, cried over you, fought for you, put herself second for you, hoped the best for you and has driven herself insane with worry for you but never has she asked for anything in return because she loves you and did it all on love alone! Most of us take our Mums for granted but there are people who have lost or have never even seen theirs. If you have a loving Mother who did all of this for you, you are very lucky, never devalue her worth because one day, you'll wish you hadn't! What are you still waiting for?.... say I LOVE U MUM!!

Some 10 Things Your Feet Say About Your Health

What can your toes tell you? The nurse just took your temperature, checked your blood pressure, and even made you step on the scale (with that heavy sweater on, no less). And as she hands you the paper gown, she gives her final directive: "You can leave your socks on."
When it comes to your health, that could be a big mistake. A change in your feet--whether on the skin, nails, or even how they feel--can be the first sign of a potentially serious problem that, if caught early, could save your life. "Our feet are the first parts to be affected by nerve issues because they're the farthest from our hearts and spine," explains Carolyn McAloon, DPM, a Bay Area podiatrist and president of the California Podiatric Medication Association. Even more reason to never ignore feet: They're easily compromised when our bodies feel threatened, since we send blood to the internal organs and the brain before the extremities.
Here, we reveal what could be lurking behind your most common foot concerns. If you see something familiar on the list, it's best to get it checked by your doc or podiatrist before attempting any treatment.
1. Hairless feet and toes
What it might mean: Serious circulation problems

Sure, it's a pain during sandal season, but hair on your toes is a good thing. Sudden baldness can be a sign that your feet aren't getting enough blood flow to sustain hair growth. Expect your doctor to check for a pulse in your feet, which is another indication that your heart may not be able to pump enough blood to your feet, says Dr. McAloon.
(Feet aren't your only cue to poor circulation.
2. Frequent foot cramping
What it might mean: Dehydration and nutritional deficiencies

Randomly occurring cramps are about as generic as foot problems get. They can be as serious as circulation and nerve issues, or as harmless as a nutritional deficiency. If you're exercising, be sure to drink plenty of water, since dehydration often leads to muscle cramping. You might also try upping your intake of potassium, magnesium, and calcium (with your doctor's go-ahead, of course), since their deficiencies make cramps more common. "For relief, soak feet in a warm foot bath and stretch your toes toward your nose, not pointing down," says Dr. McAloon. If the cramps don't let up, see your doctor for testing to rule out circulation issues or nerve damage.
3. A sore that won't heal
What it might mean: Diabetes or skin cancer

Stubborn sores are red flags for diabetes. Uncontrolled glucose levels in the blood can lead to nerve damage all the way down in your feet, which means any cut, sore, or scrape can come and go without you ever feeling it. And if it gets infected, the most serious cases may call for amputation.
A non-healing wound can also be a sign of skin cancer, says Dr. McAloon. Melanoma can pop up anywhere on your body--even in between your toes--so be sure to include your feet in your regular skin checks
4. Perpetually cold feet
What it might mean: Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is the most common cause of feet that just can't get warm. And if you're over 40, you could be living with a sluggish thyroid without even knowing it. Unfortunately, cold feet are the least of your problems--hypothyroidism can also cause hair loss, fatigue, unexplained weight gain, and depression. Get your feet feeling toasty again by heading to your doc for a simple blood test, and you'll start warming up shortly after starting the daily medication.
5. Suddenly enlarged big toe
What it might mean: Gout or other inflammatory issue

"The sudden onset of a red, hot, swollen, and painful joint requires immediate medical attention," says Dr. McAloon. Typical causes include gout, inflammatory arthritis, infection, or trauma.
6. Numbness
What it might mean: Peripheral neuropathy or a pinched nerve

Numbness in both feet is known as peripheral neuropathy, caused most commonly by diabetes, chronic alcoholism, or a side effect of chemotherapy. If you're experiencing neuroma, or numbness in only one foot, it could be due to a pinched nerve in the foot, ankle or back. That's most likely caused by years of wearing tight shoes (we mean you, stiletto devotees.)
7. Bunions
What it might mean: Inherited faulty foot structure

If you thought your bunions were caused exclusively by a closet full of gorgeous (yet restrictive and often painful) shoes, you can stop blaming the boutique. Bunions are actually a sign of a flawed foot structure that's often inherited and merely aggravated by inappropriate shoes. "The first foot bone drives toward the middle of the body, and you see the bump," explains Dr. McAloon. It can be painful and unsightly, but the only way to really correct it is with surgery.
8. Heel pain
What it might mean: Plantar fasciitis

You can't mistake it--that sharp pain in the bottom of the heel when you get out of bed or stand up from a chair. It's a strain of the ligament that supports you arch. And whether you did it by wearing too-tight shoes, walking in flip-flops, or wearing worn-out workout sneakers, the longer you let it go, the longer it takes to heal. Your podiatrist will probably tell you to ease up on your workout at first, rethink your footwear, and adopt a good stretching routine.
9. Flaky, itchy, or peeling skin
What it might mean: Fungal infection

Even if you're never donned an athletic jersey in your life, you could still be walking around with athlete's foot--the euphemistic term for a fungal infection. The most common cause of itchiness and peeling, it can be treated by applying anti-fungal cream and keeping your feet as cool and dry as possible during the day. If you're fungus-free, you might be dealing with eczema or psoriasis--both to be determined by your podiatrist through a skin sample.
10. Yellow toenails
What it might mean: Fungus or pedicure overload

Seeing yellow when you look down? Don't freak out--especially if you've been wearing nail polish for months on end without a break. "Yellowness can also happen naturally with age," says Dr. McAloon. If it's accompanied by brittleness or flaking, it's most likely you have a fungal infection like athlete's foot.

THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN S*X!

Hey! Got a few moments to spare?
There is something I want to share;
It's an issue you scarcely hear;
Coz to many, it's dirty to the ear.

You see just like Fred Rex;
We all sometimes want to flex;
Pleases, my friend don’t be angry;
Let's talk a little about sex.

I know many times you're tempted;
To satisfy desire on bed;
But first, please listen to Fred;
He's speaking from his deathbed.

"I was young and promising;
But hated being called a virgin;
And since sex was the in-thing;
I thought there's no harm in trying.

As a youth, I had a vision;
Unfortunately, I watched too much television;
It filled me with sexual tension;
And so I made a wrong decision.

Wasn't long before I found;
A couple of guys who'd slept around;
They seemed so cool and sound;
So I chose to hang around.

They said if I use a condom;
Or shove it up her bum-bum**;
It'll be sweeter than tomtom***;
They didn't add that I'd fall to bottom.

So I met this babe with huge boobs;
Boy! Was she cheap despite her good looks;
Well good for me I thought, she's a goose;
Never knew that I too would lose.

Rolling beneath the sheets I thought;
Oh my! This girl is hot;
I should do this thing a lot;
I didn't see my life start to rot.

Soon I was all around town;
Messing with dark, white and brown;
How didn't I see the Lord frown;
Each time I took my pants down?

They said that AIDS is real;
And that it's out to kill;
Yet I continued still;
Till I became its meal.

Yes, I agree sex gives pleasure;
In fact, it does in great measure;
But God gave it as a treasure;
For a man and his wife in leisure

So as a single, wait for your time;
Because if you commit that crime;
Satan will strike you in your prime;
And make you pay till the last dime.

If you're married, stick to your wife;
Don't push God out of your life;
Adultery brings fear, pain and strife;
It eventually stabs you with a knife.

It's too late now to make amends;
But I hear Jesus- He's an old friend
Telling me that if I truly would repent;
He can save me this final moment."

Hmnn..my friend, there you have it;
Whenever you're tempted to 'do it'****
Please remember him- the late Fred Rex;
My dear, THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN SEX!!!

LOOK TO JESUS

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:1-2

In the Greek games, a judge would stand at the finish line holding, in 'plain sight, the laurel leaves that would be rewarded to the victor. As runners came down the final stretch, they were exhausted, tired, and feeling as though they couldn't go another step.

But suddenly there was the prize in sight, and a new burst of energy would kick in.

This is the picture behind the phrase "looking unto Jesus" in Hebrews 12:2. We have to keep our eyes on Jesus Christ. And our prize is the privilege of standing before Him and receiving the crown of righteousness that He will give us.

That is why we live the Christian life, why we try to live godly lives, and why we try to reach people for Him. It isn't for earthly riches. It isn't for applause. It isn't for notoriety. It is so we can hear Jesus say to us on that final day, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

It isn't to earn His approval, because as believers, we already have found it. But it is to ultimately say, "Lord, I took the life you gave me and tried to make a difference. Here it is. I offer it to you."

"Looking unto Jesus.... " That is what keeps you going even when the going gets though. You can get discouraged at times. People will let you down. They will disappoint you. They won't appreciate your hard work. They won't see your efforts. They won't see your real motives.

So they will criticize you. That is when you remind yourself, "I am not running for any human being. I am running for the Lord. And I will not give up. I will keep running till I see His face."

Prayer: I look up to You, Lord, my strength, the author and finisher of my faith.

LET THERE BE ORDER

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Genesis 1:1-2

After God created the earth, something happened to disturb its peace. The earth we are introduced to in this passage was in a state of chaos. It was not a state to accommodate all the great things that God wanted to put on it.

It was all water, had no atmosphere and no land for plants to grow or animals to roam.

• Without form - waste, confused, desolate. It means to be in a state where you did not fulfil any useful purpose.

• Void - empty, blank, unused. It means to be unoccupied.

• Darkness - unilluminated, obscure, vague.

The state of chaos that the earth was in did not imply that God did not create it. We learn in verse one that God created the earth.
In addition to the fact that the earth was created by God, it had the Spirit of God hovering over it.

The Holy Spirit was actively present on the earth. What does that tell us? It tells us the simple truth that, it is possible to be born of God and impacted by the Holy Spirit and still has your life out of order.

Order is the state in which everything functions productively in its divine and proper place. Simply speaking, order is 'To set things in their right place'.

God's first task on earth as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis was to bring order into a chaotic earth. That should also be our commitment as we begin this New Year.

Indeed, it should be our commitment throughout the whole year. May the Lord order your ways this year.

Prayer: Lord, please bring order to every chaotic condition in my life.

Scriptural Reading: Genesis 1:1-5
