The most inspirational book of all times is the bible! At World Royal City Church, we share bible verses for daily inspiration on our morning prayer line, and we also study the bible together on Thursday nights at the church. Studying the bible, and meditating on God's word is a source of strength, joy, and peace.

Season of Honor
We live in a world of qualifications and certifications. You are either qualified for something, or you are certified for it. But there is something called honor. It is when a person is accorded positions or respect that they ordinarily do not qualify for, nor do they have certification for, but which people feel they deserve.
Thus you hear about honorary doctors, citizens, etc. Honor is a lifter. when a person is honored, they necessarily may not even have formal education, but then, they will be treated even better than those who have.
Honor comes from God to those he desires to lift.
It's your turn to be honored.
This is your season of honor. Receive it with joy. You may not be qualified for it, but you deserve it.
Enjoy!

When we laugh
When was the last time you really laughed yourself to tears? Laughter helps us to unload the burdens of the soul. Laughter eases pain, kills bitterness, overcomes anger, destroys resentment, prevents hypertension and most blood related cases. Laughter is an outward expression of inward joy and happiness. Laughter is the product of genuine excitement. You cannot laugh and hate at the same time. you cannot laugh and be bitter, you cannot even laugh and be sick. Laughter has healing properties. it eases pains, and releases positive emotions to take charge of your body mechanism.
Laugh at your silly mistakes which we all have. Laugh at the funny things you did childhood. Laugh at the jokes you 've heard or read about. Laugh when someone or something is funny. Laugh in a funny way. Laugh with your friends, it will draw them closer to you. Laughter throws down the iron wall that stands between two strangers. Laughter is contagious, it binds people together and boosts energy levels of those involved.
Laughter releases endorphin, which causes your whole body to feel good. Laughter is fun. Laughter boosts your immune system, relaxes your body, and protects your heart.
Guard your heart! Practice humor!! laugh a lot!!! It will change your world, it will change the way you look.
Thats what happens when we laugh.

Remember and be remembered
It's amazing how much attention we pay to memorial services, and how much energy and money we spend to remember the dead, while we forget the living and their deeds of love and kindness. We go through all kinds of troubles to remember the dead, and there is nothing wrong with this, but we rarely remembered to thank them, love them, or even recognize them while they were alive.
I believe that lying deep in the heart of everyman is the need for recognition. The need to be loved, and remembered while they are alive. When we do that, it will inspire people to do more, and live more.
When was the last time you remembered someone who has done you some good in the past, to send them a note, a mail, or even give them a call? can you imagine what difference that will make in the life of that person? Just imagine someone calling you from the blues and reminding you of something nice you did to them a long time ago. You may even have forgotten, but then, they remind you and thank you for it. Imagine the feeling of love and appreciation that you will feel, knowing that they didn't have to do that.
It's great to remember the good deeds of the dead, but even greater to remeember the good deeds of the living.
Remember someone today for their good, and you too will be remembered.
Enjoy the rest of the month of July for it your month of rest!

Discipline
An indisciplined life is not worth living. Discipline is the ability to constrain oneself to adhere to certain rules, in order to achieve a set goal.
Life always makes room for discipline. if you don't discipline yourself, you will be disciplined by nature, situation, or circumstances. Sometimes even by organizations or other people.
You can either pay now and play latter, or play now and pay latter, which ever way, payment is inevitable in life. Those who refuse to discipline themselves when they where young end up being disciplined by circumstances of life when they get older. In life, there are many examinations to pass, if you keep postponing them, you will keep carrying over that particular course.
Indiscipline breaks marriages, foils good plans, destroys friendships and relationships, kills the best of intentions, and can sometimes result in premature death.
A little discipline today, can save your tomorrow.
Examine yourself and see if you are disciplined.
Have a great week.

UNDERSTAND ME
I think one of the greatest needs of man is the need to be understood. many times, we lack the words to express what we truly mean to say. Sometimes, we end up using the wrong choice of words, the wrong facial expressions, or the wrong body language, and we end up being judged wrongly.
Lying deep in every one of us is a strong desire, a need to be understood. we wish that our spouses, children, siblings, friends, and even enemies will understand that our intentions are different from our actions. 'Man judges from outward appearance, but God sees the heart', and because man is the one that we have to deal with daily, our outward appearances (which for the most are inadequate expressions of our inward impressions) form the basis of people's perception of us.
As you read this blog today, i pray that you will be understood more by the people around you, and i pray also that you will seek to understand the people around you before you take any action.
Have a great week ahead.

Be Thankful
Gratitude is the attitude that changes your altitude. A thankful heart opens doors for more blessings. Man in recent times seems to has forgotten the place of thanksgiving in the scheme of live.
We murmur, complain, grind our teeth and squeeze our faces when things don't seem to our way. but as soon as things start working the way we had imagined they would, we forget to be grateful, and just carry on as if nothing happened.
But gratitude can make the difference. Gratitude to all men for the roles they play in our lives. gratitude to God for his love towards us, gratitude to our friends for always being there for us,gratitude to our enemies for always keeping us on guard.
Gratitude will expand your latitude and increase your altitude.
Be thankful. it helps.
