Ladies are treasured minerals not to be mined illegally

Two young ladies arrived to a meeting wearing clothes that were quite revealing their body parts. Here is what the Chairman told them: He took a good look at them and made them sit. Then he said something that, they might never forget for the rest of their lives.
He looked at them straight in the eyes and said; "ladies, everything that God has valuable in this world is well covered and hard to see, find or get.
1. Where do you find DIAMONDS? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.
2. Where do you find PEARLS? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.
3. Where do you find GOLD? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers of rock and to get them, you have to work hard & dig deep down to get them.
He looked at them with serious eyes and said;
"Your body is sacred & unique" You are far more precious than gold, diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too. So he added that, "If you keep your treasured mineral just like gold, diamond and pearls, deeply covered up, a reputable mining organization with the requisite machinery will fly down and conduct years of extensive exploration."
Then he said, "First, they will contact your government (family), sign professional contracts (wedding) and mine you professionally( legal marriage). But if you leave your precious minerals uncovered on the surface of the earth, you always attract a lot of illegal miners to come and mine you illegally. Everybody will just pick up their crude instruments and just have a dig on you just freely like that. So, keep your bodies deeply covered so that it invite professional miners to chase you

Youth Can Change The WORLD........... |

Someone once said, “Everything is a matter of perspective. To one person, it’s half-full; to another, it’s half-empty.”
Youth can change the world—a far-fetched idea or a realistic goal?
Longman Dictionary of American English defines “change” as “to become different, or to make someone or something become different.”
Now, that’s sounds like something plausible. But, the world?
I love the perspective given in Acts 1: 8, “And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
It starts from the ones closer to you and expands outward.
But the clincher is in the words before: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.”
God can change the world and He wants to work through us.

Who Is Benjamin Carson?

Well before Dr. Benjamin Carson ever set foot at the podium to face the audience at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington D.C. on Feb. 7, the renowned neurosurgeon was already a brand on his own in the field of medicine.
In 1987, he became the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins and stamped his place in medical history.
When his biography, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story was subsequently published in 1990, the Christian doctor who rejects the theory of evolution became a global inspiration.
His story of triumph over crushing poverty in Detroit to become the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md., at the age of 33 became a well-known and compelling narrative.
And the doctor has been speaking and inspiring with his message of personal responsibility, moral integrity and discipline ever since.
From a passion wrought out of his personal experience with education, Carson and his wife, who have three adult sons, also decided to start the Carson Scholars Fund sixteen years ago.
The Fund, according to Carson, celebrates and supports the achievements of "intellectual superstars" in schools across America.
But on Feb. 7, when Carson hit the podium, America heard his thoughts on something else – government.
The neurosurgeon surprised the audience, which included President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, with his thoughts on government policy in areas such as taxation, education and debt management.
Now, with a growing chorus of social conservatives clamoring for him to run for president, everyone wants to know, who is Benjamin Carson?
"We don't know much about Ben Carson except for his personal biography," said noted Columbia University political scientist, Fredrick Harris in an interview with the Christian Post on Tuesday.
Those who know Carson or are familiar with him will only talk about Benjamin Carson the man, not his politics.
"I don't know him more than anybody else. I know of his good deeds.
He is a good man as far as I know," said Dr. Franklin W. Knight, Leonard and Helen R Stulman Professor of history and director of the Center of Africana Studies at Johns Hopkins.
"One of the things that we are committed to here at Spencerville is that we guard Dr. Carson's privacy very much," said Patrick Morrison, associate pastor at the Spencerville Seventh Day Adventist Church in Maryland, where Carson is a member.
He would only say that Carson, who also sits on the board of several for-profit companies like The Kellogg Company and Costco Wholesale Corporation, is an active member of the church.
He attends services regularly and teaches a class as well. "He is quiet and humble. He is a man of faith and a man of integrity," said Morrison of Carson.
And that's the mantra repeated by almost everyone who knows him.

Let the Young Speak

Proper youth should observe to do this exceptional things:
A Man Wise by the Spirit
Slow to Speak
Angered When God Is Belittled
Burdened to Speak the Word of God
Does Not Flatter
Increases Our Understanding of God's Ways
Finally, when a man is driven to speak by the Spirit of God (rather than by his age), he brings forth genuine theological insight and increases our understanding of God's ways.
It is not a punishment but a cure and a purification. It is not the result of God's anger but the remedy of his love.
God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds, then he opens the ears of men, and terrifies them with warnings that he may turn man aside from his deed, and cut off pride from man; he keeps back his soul from the Pit and his lips from perishing by the sword.
That is the first way God speaks to man for his good.
The second is the one that applies to Job. Verse 19: "Man is also chastened with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones."
The description of the sickness follows and how man is moved to seek God and confess all sin. Then verse 29 says, "Behold, God does all these things, twice, three times, with a man, to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may see the light of life." And 36:15 says, "He delivers the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ear by adversity."
Wisdom comes from the Lord and can be given to the young as well as the old.
The question, therefore, is not, "Who is old?" but, "Who is full of the Spirit of wisdom?" Five things will mark these people who are stirred by the Spirit of God.
1) They will be slow to speak, eager to listen, and conscious of how much they have to learn.
2) But there comes a point when they get angry at self-justifying, God-belittling men.
3) They have a passionate love for God's truth and can find no relief until they speak it.
4) When they speak, it is not with flattering words. The Spirit has given them rest in the promises of God, and they do not need to curry anyone's favor.
5) What they say is genuine insight, and it increases our understanding of God's ways and helps us trust him even through pain.
