    • I can prove what you say is true… I am going to write an item about it. We in Jamaica actually tested the racism….

    • When you talk of racism Apartheid comes to mind and this I suppose was confined to South Africa. It does not exist any more but individually people practice it here and there. Why just the colour in every walk of life there is this segregation for different reasons.

    • It is difficult to change the attitude of privileged people who are used to defaming, exploiting and cheating others for personal gain or hatred. Discrimination and racism is prevalent worldwide

    • indeed it is unfair for a nation to treat the color of a person skin different, same goes with religion.
      racism is everywhere, not only in the western countries but in asian countries too.
      Though I can’t mention country name, I can tell you that the majority of the same religion treated other minority religion with unjustified laws and rules.

    • It is quality and not quantity that is important when it comes to having people around us. If you look at FB accounts there you will find some with countless friends but they are not friend but just a number.

    • he most important aspect of connecting with other businesses is the element of positivity; it is far easier to be dragged down by someone’s discouragement or apathy than it is for you to raise them up to your level, so try to cut off or ignore any negative influences. There are some who try to build things and there are others to try to tear them down: don’t let those telling you something cannot be done stop you from doing it.

      Enthusiasm is contagious, and being around other businesses with the same high levels of drive and ambition that you strive towards can only increase your motivation and inspire a little healthy competition; a company doesn’t have to be in the same sector or industry as you to be like-minded, they just need to have a similar attitude. If you’re a start-up business, it’s no bad thing to associate with other start-ups and SME’s, but what are their goals for the future?

      Are their aims simply to run a successful local business? If you’re dreaming on a bigger scale than that, don’t be afraid to communicate with companies bigger than yours and receive invaluable advice on how they got to where they are.

      Inspiration isn’t just a one way street, either. Eventually, when you are experiencing success and having your ideas heard, you can start to influence others and allow them to discuss their goals, too. Encouraging someone and giving them great advice now could reap plenty of rewards in the future. Building a network of support, for you and others, means you have a source of support and innovation as well as a place to shout about your company’s accomplishments.

    • Picking wheat from chaff and managing one’s life is what you have so aptly described in your blog. It takes time to do that as good analysis is required before shutting off that which interferes with one’s peace.

    • Madness is nothing but the uncontrolled state of mind in a negative way at home and out of home. There are two types of madness caused by bad situation and madness caused by evil spirit. Both are dangerous for men and women.

      The main cause of madness is that madness, in our culture, is defined by visibility. From the popular press to TV soaps and films, the depiction of madness always borders on the extreme: violent outbursts, fits, hallucinations. But what if madness is not exactly what we think it to be? What if it is the rule rather than the exception?

      Madness may be treated in such ways as
      A mental illness, like many chronic illnesses, requires ongoing treatment. Fortunately, much progress has been made in the last two decades in treating mental illnesses. As a result, many mental conditions can be effectively treated with one or a combination of the following therapies:

      Psychotherapy.
      Group therapy.
      Day treatment or partial hospital treatment.
      Specific therapies, such as cognitive-behavior therapy and behavior modification.
      Other treatments available include:

If they refuse or if they did not learn something from us, maybe that’s the time that we should block them from our lives. Spread the love and positivity to them.

But i thank God for his goodness and protection because he is always watching over us regardless when people do us wrong we call on God and he saves us. There is always light at the end of a tunnel however dark it may be. Thank you for the inspiring word.

    • I tart my sermon with is Biblical verse those who all day calls for God will not enter into heaven because God knows your hearts and wicked will against men and God. Because holy are those whose hearts are like sheep and innocent like babes and whose smiles full of love and peace but today’s men hearts are black, intentions are devilish, minds are full doubts…what is doing today’s man on earth who has forgot God and his commandments.

      Now I quote some verses from the Holy Bible…read and think will open your eyes and heart that are blind, deaf and dumb.

      Matthew 7:21-23
      “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

      Proverbs 6:16-19
      There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

      We all have to reponder over our deeds and intentions so that we could get lost paradise.

    • All over the world Promise Politics is made in the name of democracy. Before going into details I tell you in the present election Hillary will win the presidential election because it was already decided by the big bosses of the world.

      I have pondered over the nature of democracy and find that it is totally fraud with the citizens of the country. Think for a while, when they start the campaign of votes people elect the president but after being successful what they why not ask to the people. When they embezzle country wealth they ask the people, when they make corruption they ask the people…

      No, why it is the best technique to beffol the public get vote in the name of democracy and after winning do what they wish. The country of all subjects must keep in mind that in every election no election but selection made by big bosses of the world.

      Horse trading is an other fault of democracy the man wins by the votes of peoples lose the election in the next round because the opponents will one or two candidates giving his bribery millions of dollars.

      Now I ask where is the voters’ choice, yea went in hell. People are given just lolly pops to lick on lone. Lolly pops remind the voters you have made a mistake.

    • Wow I just love what I have read, and if this piece would be read by all politicians or people who are in the government then for sure we would not have to worry about the many atrocities that are taking place within our countries, people will be more willing to take care of issues that affect them and get help, there will be no murders taking place between communities because of lack of understanding, the youth will be more willing to take up responsibilities and work for their futures. I applaud this article and I wish everyone of us would step up and do what is right in their lives because it all begins with me.

      • There’s a lot of social issues that need to be addressed and hopefully some of these issues will gain the attention from those who are positions to make a difference. Too many fearful people. To afraid to speak up because of fear or some sort of retaliation for doing so. If everyone stood for something that can create a better world then we all would be in better positions. Silence doesn’t get anyone anywhere. There’s times to be silent but not when it comes to people’s lives. Thanks for your comment. Have a blessed day. It all begins with everyone. Too many people are afraid to address these issues. Tanikka Paulk will continue to stand for people’s “rights.”

    • Social issues are common in every society and in the government sectors also. I think social issues are self created not imposed by God and any other creature. the main cause of social issue is greed and jealousy and nothing else.

      I think these are htt social issues…
      Abortion. What is your stance on abortion? …
      Gay Marriage. Do you support the legalization of same sex marriage? …
      LGBT Adoption Rights. …
      Planned Parenthood Funding. …

      Religious Freedom Act. …
      Government Mandates. …
      Marital Rape.Abortion

      Anti-Muslim Discrimination
      Binge Drinking
      Birth Control
      Bulimia Nervosa
      Bullying
      Campus Crime

      It is most difficult to deal with all of them because the government does not want to solve these issues because on these issues they make politics in all countries of the world.

    • I sense from what you wrote that you have been hurt by others. Jesus told us that in this world we will have tribulation and suffering. He is with us, but evil in the world won’t stop until he returns. He knew what it was to be despised by those around him and rejected and hated. As his servants, we can expect the same kind of treatment. He warned us about that. It is still our job to trust him and do good.

    • No one is spared from having to face what this world dishes out. Taking every such situation as a challenge and meeting them is how one should go about them.

    • This world is not cruel yea you say that the world of man is cruel not the world of nature that loves human beings. I think it’s perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don’t know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. Actually,

      if he is keeping out of sight, it’s because he’s ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they’re responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I’d want nothing to do with them.

      The world was a terrible place, cruel, pitiless, dark as a bad dream. Not a good place to live. Only in books could you find pity, comfort, happiness – and love. Books loved anyone who opened them, they gave you security and friendship and didn’t ask anything in return; they never went away, never, not even when you treated them badly.

      Just one solution we can adopt just love as Anger, resentment and jealousy doesn’t change the heart of others– it only changes yours

    It’s not easy when one is on assignment and being called. There will be attacks and those who won’t understand the assignment. At the beginning it will be difficult to understand how can so many turn their backs […]

    • True, it is evident that whatever God has assigned to be must be. There is no two ways about it. Besides, the called have to pass through challenges, struggle, trials and temptation but in that they are confident and filled with joy.
      The called sees trials and temptation as a stepping stone to reach their destiny. When trials come, they become more willing and enthusiastic to serve God.
      However, everyone who accomplishes great things in life or lived as an achiever will equally tell the same story. It may not be easily at the very beginning but the end result is glorious.
      Thanks for posting this wonderful article.

    • I just commented on another of your blogs where I said any difficult situation needs to be taken as a challenge. Meeting challenges and winning them over is what makes life worth living.

    • Challenges are a part of life.It is written in th3 bible that in life we will go through trials and tribulations. When God calls you it doesn’t mean that you won’t face challenges, in fact they will come fill force and if you do not know God they will seem very hard to handle. His has given us the ability to fight this things in life of only we put on the armour of God which is his word and prayer. We are told that for does not being challenges our way of he knows we cannot tackle them. You have the ways and means and you also be a brain’s to think that’s why for enablesus with wisdom to be able to think and do what is right. When pastors are chosen to do the work of God, they don’t get into it thinking that all is well and that no evil shall befall them, no they know that they will be in constant battle, because the devil will be there to throw all kinds of distractions on them. We know that the devil doesn’t like anything that is Godly, so he will keeo fighting them to bring them down, and that needs they’ll armour of God to keep strong and keep going.

    • human life is full of trials and tribulations since man’s creation. first of all Eve was tested by God not to eat the fruit of forbidden tree but Eve the mother of mankind reject God’s decree and ate the fruit. This brought Adam on earth and from this disobedience death was created for man to take back from earth to heaven where she was before the fall.

      One more thing keep in mind goodness is from God and evil if our self created on earth. So far as trial and tribulations on earth are concerned I say that God’s trial is different than man’s self created hardships on earth and we call it the trial of God. Read the holy Bible carefully you will know the reality of reality. As the Bible says:

      Acts 14:22 (Jer) … “We all have to experience many hardships,” they said, “before we enter the kingdom of God.”

      When Bad Things Happen

      The Scriptures speak of three types of “trouble” for the believer: 1) Discipline, judgment, or rebuke from the Lord; 2) tests, trials, persecutions, suffering; and 3) temptations or attacks from Satan. So is this present trouble the hand of the Lord in direct rebuke, or the promised testing of our faith, or are we being “had” by Satan? We should know, so we can respond accordingly.
      James 1:12 (NIV) Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the victor’s crown, the life God has promised to those who love him.

      If someone’s case in the court and he is under the trial may not be called this trial is from God. Make efforts for goodness and for the betterment of humanity and to make the government of God on earth in such trial and tribulation if someone suffers we may say the trials and tribulations from God as I have quoted some verse from the Holy Bible.

      Falling into self created troubles may not be called trials and tribulations of God as the article shows in bold words.

    • Usually those who consider themselves as good, or belonging tot he group of the converted, judge and criticize those of a different standing. But God has given each of us wonderful gifts. We must not share them with everyone at once, believing that it will bring them to faith. Instead, share according to the guidance of God.

    One thing hate can not do is solve a single problem. Hate creates problems and hate destroys. If a person is filled with hate then they’ll be confined like a prisoner. There’s a lot of hate in […]

    • It is not possible to love everyone but it is possible not to hate. I have this formula. When I know I cannot get along with someone I shall stay away from that person but will not hate them. This can be done. As they say it is not always black and white – there is also the grey colour. I choose that when I cannot love someone but I will not hate either.

    • The bitterness of the heart produces hate in our lives. When our heart is filled with ridicules, we will in turn channel it to someone who does not deserve it.
      The Bible says: Be angry but let not the day goes down without you relieving it. Love one another for love is settles all things.

      In our daily life, we are meant to love one another, love everything that come across us and love everyone we come across so that we will not give room for Satan to prevail in our hearts.

      One thing I have learnt in loving is that its opens way for more good things to come, it shows the way out to every situation and when we fill our hearts with love there will be no room for hate to occupy.

      Therefore , let us learn to love for love is the greatest.

    • That’s word here is a very strong word. It should not be used in people’s vocabulary at all. But I know lots of people like to use that word so much. We should always try to avoid using this word whenever we can. Hate has made people do so many bad things in life. It has made people kill one another or even caused murder between siblings. And that is very sad. Why would you hate someone to that point? I always say if people have issues in their lives, the best thing that people can do is to try to solve things amicably when they are having issues. Keeping them quiet builds up the hate and then gets people in trouble. But when you sit down and talk about them you avoid alot of problems.
