Meaning of Christmas

By Kelvin Eloho
Merry Christmas to you. 

Merry: Happy
Christ: the anointed one and the anointing
Mas: Carnival Celebration (West Indian word)
This means Happy Christ Carnival Celebration to you. This is the period we celebrate Christ, the birth of our Savior, the Messiah.
Not everyone celebrating Christmas know what they are celebrating. Some think it's just time to be merry with family and friends or go out to all sorts of places and have fun, eat Christmas rice, food and drinks.
But what's Christmas rice without Christ. What's the need celebrating Christmas without Christ; without having Christ; without being born again.
The son of God became the son of man so the sons of man become sons of God.
He came to give us life; anyone who doesn't have Zoe (the God kind of life) is dead to God. He is dead spiritually, alienated from God. God told Adam that when he eats of the apple in the midst of the garden he'll surely die and he did. He was alienated (cut off) from his source. A fish that isn't in water(its source) won't last long so will terrestrial animals when submerged in water for long periods. Every living thing has to be connected to its source. Man is a spirit being and God is the father of spirits so we are to be connected to our source to draw from this life source.
What better gift can you give to Jesus today than your life? Make Christmas worth it's purpose because you're the reason for the season, the reason he was born. Just take the step today and the rest is history.
I invite you to give your heart to him by just saying this prayer:
“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!
Merry Christmas 

Nigerian Currencies

By Kelvin Eloho
At first, Cowries were used for buying and selling before banknotes and coins were introduced into the Nigerian economy. Payments mostly made in cups or in bags. .. There was also the Trade by Barter System: adopted by people who lived in the same locality, and it involved giving what you had in exchange for what you needed. You could exchange a cow for 5 goats etc.  .. The Nigerian shillings were issued in 1958/1959 Even though this denomination is no longer in use in present day Nigeria, the shilling is the legal tender in Kenya and Uganda.  .. The Nigerian pound issued in 1967: This was the legal tender used in Nigeria back then. Currently 1 pound is over 500 Naira.  .. Another 5 shilling note issued in 1968: This was done as a strategy of war, the shillings notes were changed to reflect different colours. While the banknotes were changed, the coins remained unchanged and in circulation. .. 1 pound notes were reintroduced in a different colour in

Handle things wisely

By Kelvin Eloho
Some times you've got to leave the good for the greater good, be the villian to save the girl. Hit the ground to touch the sky. Do wrong to make it right. You got to look ahead and forfeit now pleasures. Be heartless to let wrong emotions go. You've got to walk alone to make a difference. You've got to be silent to observe the hawk.  Fake your acts to bewilder the snake. Quiet as dove but dangerous as scorpion. You've got to prune the tree from its branch, let go of the boys and take the boss. Handle the hard ones the light ones will succumb. Know priorities and handle them first. If you can't take the rest and the audience are disappointed. Take the blame and be a man. Please your long-term and the short term is included. The lesser is included in the greater. Be a man of wise choices. Besides, maturity calls.
