                                TO MAKE NIGERIA  A GREAT NATION

                 life is a place that harbors in it beings and things created within 6days, by God.
God laid to us simple commandments but the devil tempted and infected everyone through the first man and woman(Adam and Eve) by making them eat from the only tree God forbade them from eating out of numerous trees in the Garden of Eden.   devil infected mortals with covetousness and disobedience.

                  LOVE AS THE STEP TO LIVING A GOOD AND MORAL LIFE

            Life is useless without love, the commandments God gave to us in the old testament was summarized and presented to us in the new testament in a much more simpler  way.   His commandments in the new testament is (a)love your God, and, (b) love your neighbor as yourself.   If one lives by this, then he will never be put to shame in any of his life activities. The new commandment which is as simple as 'A B C'  have not been properly followed because devil has brought into the world Ignorance.  There is a saying that 'In our weakness lies our strength' so until you discover your weakness, then one can never progress or develop. the one thing every man lacks is Love.   Nigeria is yet to discover its problem and until it does this, it will not progress.   I pray for the progress of my country everyday
 

          Philosophers has said in time past that;
1.         There is only one evil 'ignorance' and one good 'knowledge' - Socrates
2.         In everything, there is a share of everything- Anaxagoras
3.        To do as one would be done by, and to love ones' neighbor as oneself, constitute the ideal perfection of utilitarian morality- John Stuart Mill
4.        All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing- 'mistakenly attributed to Edmund Blurke'
5.       Whatever is reasonable is true and whatever is true is reasonable- G.W.F. Hegel
6.      The unexamined life is not worth living- Socrates

          Every individual should make their motto 'love your God and Love your neighbor as yourself'.   If Gods' commandments becomes our motto then, we would relate our everyday business with love which will make life dealings go smoother, however, love doesn't make you stupid.
-   If an administrator loves God and loves his neighbors as himself, then will he not only be worthy of his position among men but also worthy in the sight of God, making God and man love him in return because of the love he has shown with his acts.
-   If an individual loves his God and loves his Neighbors as himself, then will problems of  relationships between individuals be solved, then will there be co-operation in the society which will lead to positive changes in the country and its environment.
-   If the society loves God and loves its neighbors as itself, such society will witness growth and development in all areas of its life.

                                              LEADING BY EXAMPLE

            We need to follow the commandment of God, i.e. love your God and love your neighbor as yourself, thats the rule God gave us with which to excel in our daily dealings, be you anybody.   A good leader leads with example, If God hasn't loved us, will he show his mercy and grace unto us despite our evil acts, one thing i know is that irrespective of your religion, we all pray for Gods' mercy, even traditional doctors prays for mercy and to receive mercy, one has to show mercy to mankind.   God has made nations comfortable(resources), then the administrator is left with the responsibility to manage and distribute it through some other means to the general public because government rose as a result to managing Gods' gift to humanity.   So to return Gods' help, we need to show love to God and also show love to our neighbors, love commands love and also calls for respect, and there is a saying that respect is reciprocal.

Conclusions:
              To finalize love,
in the new testament of the bible is, John 3:16.  type at the search space on my blog and any search engine available to you. ''For God so loved the world and gave his only begotten son.............''
              If an entity loves God and also loves its neighbor as itself, then it will surely lead to growth and development of such entity. If love is administered in our various dealings by everyone, it will be used in solving differences among individuals, tribes, states and nations. Parties involved in every dealings should exercise love and solutions will surface.
             Love cures all crimes, i mean all forms of crime, and remember that ignorance is evil and knowledge is good.   We need to pass across to everyone that in order for our country to grow and witness Gods' divine help, we need to love ourselves.

              Now that we have known the solution to our problem, every human should exercise love in its day-to-day activities, because an individual constitute of a society and inside the society lies the administrator.   I believe the general development of an individual will lead to the general development of the society.

                             MY LITTLE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GOD AND RELIGION

 God, the supreme being -

                    Genesis 35:11(definition of God)
                    What God wants of us is nothing but not to depart from his teachings through the holy book and to always worship him every time we are chanced to do so.
Our father in heaven also wants us to disseminate the gospel far and wide, therefore making his words known in this world making the holy bible our guide, no matter the amount of professionalism in us.


Definition of a religion and its relationship to God-

                 A religion is a way of worship to the Almighty God.
if your religion isn't all about worshiping God, the most high king, the only being that kings bow for, the only name that creates way even in the most difficult situations, then you need a switch of religion.
                My sole reason for the above paragraph is that it is when you truly serve the almighty God, then one can show love to him, and when you show love to him, you'll obey all his commandments, therefore, you fear God which is the beginning of wisdom to rule our society and household.


Relationship of God to our society-

               any religion that doesn't recognize the existence of a supreme being called God almighty, Creator, Jehovah, Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the end needs a change. If we respect God truly as we say we do, then the causes and solution to societal problems would have become known for every problem brings with it a solution, for i know that God is alive and remains alive but our acts have silenced Him. We need to come nearer to him. We wouldn't be in this situation and still don't know where and what is next, which i consider the problem of the society and i think this is due to the fact that we have left God out of so many things, have we forgotten that He created us and nature, and nature harbors everything we do as man is the measure of all things. Its high time we retraced our steps to the Almighty God, only he can save us. lets pray for divine visitation so that solutions can surface to our difficult problems.

Vision of the Almighty God is our mission on earth:

               Different human with different perspective, our different perspectives will give solutions to different problems. So, until we serve him and honor him, then will he be able to manifest in our lives.
               Every being on earth came with talents, talents create solutions. God has given us so many things we are yet to discover and not until we serve him, the wonders he has created in us will not manifest which is why some people die without being able to do anything on earth.  I pray God opens our hearts to his words.

        Philosophers have said in the time past that;
  'we are too weak to discover the truth by reason alone - St. Augustine'- which means we all need God
 Wittgenstein said  'i don't know why we are here but im pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves'

 Seneca the younger said 'virtue is nothing else than right reason'- if you reason right you'll retrace your steps to almighty God.


      +++:
                I mean let every human being retrace their steps to serving the one that created them by using whatever our talents are to glorify his holy name and make his commandments which are 'love your God and love your neighbor as yourself' our guide.
