Words, like they say, are like eggs and when broken, cannot be made whole again. No doubt, the outgoing year 2013 has been eventful and has also witnessed some trending events.
Some public figures, who should be very careful of what they say in public, have said many rather unfortunate words, which received widespread criticisms. Some were reckless with what they said in the heat of sad and difficult situations.
We have compiled 10 worst quotes uttered in 2013 by some Nigerian public figures. Enjoy.
10. “Come, sit on my laps and I will show you a level of grace you do not understand.”–Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA. made the above statement and was revealed by Ese Walter, who alleged that the man of God slept with her hiding under the grace of God.

9. “God is a democrat, [he] does not support rigging, but if you rig and succeed, that means God approves of it.”

Thankfulness : Psalm 124
Daily Reflection
Sat 14 Dec., '13
Thankfulness
Psalm 107 : 1 - 8
"8.........o that men would praise the lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men.
The greatest secret of living is thanking God, and you can't be a good thanker if you're not a good thinker.
Only someone who can think-well can thank-well.
You might have requested a hundred things from God and @the moment , you've received answers to twenty or fewer, Yes He deserves praise. Remember, It is of the lords mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.....Great is His faithfulness unto us
The greatest gift you've received is the gift of life , the fact that you're alive gives us assurance that your best is yet to come, so forget about the failures , disappointments , setbacks and inadequacies of this year , start thanking God for all the innumerable blessings you've received since the start of the year .
Until you learn how to sing and dance , even in the rain , you can't receive more from God, cos if you can't thank Him for the little then you can't manage His Plenty.
God wants to commit plenty into your hands but he wants to check your faithfulness in the little and it all begins with thanking him even for the little.
Countless number of plane crashes , tsunamis , tremors, hurricanes , earth quakes , road accidents and the list goes on and on, but here you are today, alive ......so he deserves your praise , forget about the unanswered prayers , forget about those your pressing needs , forget about your enemy ,
Psalm 124 : if it had not been the lord who was on our side, now may Israel say ; if it had not been the lord who was on our side , when men rose up against us: ....................................Blessed be the lord , who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Let His Praise ring out Now
Worrying , complaining and murmuring lead to nowhere ! Stop the murmuring and start Praising God remember His grace has sustained you this far so be still His Grace will see you through.
Good morning and Happy weekend
