A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he saw a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices he has a note in his mouth.
He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb,please. The dog has money in his mouth, as well".
The butcher looks inside and, behold, a ten dollar note. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth.
The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to shut up shop and follow the dog. So off he goes.
The dog is walking down the street when he comes to a level crossing. The dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button.
Then he waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and he walks across the road, with the butcher following him all the way.
The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe at this stage. The dog checks out the times, and then sits on one of the seats provided.
Along comes a bus. The dog walks around to the front, looks at the number, and goes back to his seat. Another bus comes. Again the dog goes and looks at the number, notices it's the right bus, and climbs on.
The butcher, by now, open-mouthed, follows him onto the bus. The bus travels through the town and out into the suburbs, the dog looking at the scenery.
Eventually he gets up, and moves to the front of the bus. He stands on 2 back paws and pushes the button to stop the bus. Then he gets off, his groceries still in his mouth.
You may continue to exceed onlookers'Well, dog and butcher are walking along the road, and then the dog turns into a house.
He walks up the path, and drops the groceries on the step. Then he walks back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself against the door.
He goes back down the path, runs up to the door and again, it throws himself against it.
There's no answer at the house, so the dog goes back down the path, jumps up on a narrow wall, and walks along the perimeter of the garden. He gets to the window, and beats his head against it several times, walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door.
The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing the dog, kicking him and punching him, and swearing at him.
The butcher runs up, and stops the guy. "What in heaven's name are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the life of me!" to which the guy responds:
"You call this clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his key."
----Moral of the story----
expectations but shall always fall short of the boss's expectations! ! It's dog's life after all......... *

MAKING YOURSELF MARRIGEABLE
Marrige is not for Boys and Girls but for Men and Women.What we mean by men and women is Maturity not in size nor age.
HOW CAN I MAKE MYSELF MARRIGEABLE.
*Character is an important aspect of a maried life, -it is what makes you unique and outstanding from others, -it is what makes you attractive to men/women.
Your character place the number one role weather you will get married or not. How far you go in life is traceable to your character and not degree or occupation. You can either succeed or fail because of your character(samson failed because of character). As a man your handsomness might attract others into relationship but it is your character that sustain that relationship. Your relevance in life is not by the clothe you put on or things you eat but your character.
AREA TO SHOW YOUR CHARACTER.
> On our word usage:
The Lord does not see as men seeth for man looks on the outward appearance but God looks at the Heart. God takes us by our words(the best thing to do when some one makes us angre is to keep quiet). The Bible says "A FOOL IS KNOWN BY THE MULTITUDE OF WORDS".
> The way you dress:
Dress the way you want to be address. The personality of God does not change but His method of doing things changes. It is high time we seperate Christainity from Religion. Our place of demostration is here on earth so we should dress well. The essence of cloth is to dress. Righteousness is a nature of God that you enter into when you get born-again. Our conduct should Reflect Christ

LIVING SACRIFICE
TEXT: - Romans 12:1-2
INTRODUCTION:
Sacrifice is anything offered or giving willingly, it struggles and then dies. God wants us to offer our lives (still living) willingly on the alter. Sacrifice requires fire, and so wood and fuel has to be gathered. Proverb 26:20a. As the fire burns out matters and materials, energy is released. A sacrifice must be holy acceptable unto God before it can make sense to God.
There is a pattern God has ordered your life to take and the world has its own systems and God is saying we shouldn’t allow ourselves to be compressed / squeezed to the pattern of this world. When you conform to the image of the world, you become wrinkled and Christ is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle and Christ is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle.
It is a matter of consecration that will bring a man to a point of “Don’t” (never be enticing). You have to stay under the fire of God and let Him mould you from within.
If a man refuses to present himself as a living sacrifice, such a person is not into spiritual worship, reasonable and intelligent service.
Things You Must Do If You Want To Remain A Living Sacrifice.
1. Do not have an exaggerated estimation of yourself.
2. You must be burning and shinning light John 5:35.
3. Do not be high minded and slothful in business Isaiah 57:15.
4. Be above reproach, be honest Mark 12:14
5. Be of integrity Luke 9:23.
6. Keep close to Him to be effective. As a man stays close to Jesus, His properties rubs on Him.
Characteristics of a Living Sacrifice
• Love 2corinthians 5:14-15.
• He doesn’t live for Himself, but for Christ Galatians 2:20.
• Your walk with God must be upwards Job 8:7; Luke 9:62
Conclusion:
A living sacrifice do not live for himself, but for Christ who died for him. As a living sacrifice, glorify God in your body for you are the temple of God 1corinthians 6:19-20 and have been bought with a price and you are not your own. You must also come to the persuation as a living sacrifice that you are a stranger in this world. Hebrew 11:13-37, if you fail to realize that you will continue to live a sub-standard life.

GOD'S LOVE FOR US
Do you experience God's love for us? Or do you sometimes think you are all alone in the world? Or that God doesn't love you? If so, you are not alone. Multitudes of people today, Christians and non-Christians, have similar thoughts. This was also true when Paul was alive. Look at what he said when he prayed that the Ephesians would deeply know God's love.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen (Ephesians 3:16-21).
The Ephesians did not fully grasp God's love for them. If this is true of you, too, prayerfully study the following Scriptures on God's love for you. As you read, ask God to help you believe and accept the wonders of his mighty love for us.
Accept God's love for us and the new life Jesus offers.
Jesus offers each of us a walk with God and a fullness of life that is not possible without him. As he said, "I am the bread of life" (John 6:35), and "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). He also said, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again" (John 3:3). Jesus' death, resurrection, and offer of eternal life is the greatest manifestation of God's love for you.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved (Ephesians 2:4-5).
If you have not been born again—that is, if you have not become a Christian—let me invite you to surrender yourself to him now, for "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13). Give your life to God by accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord. Let me invite you to read the following as a prayer.
Dear Lord, I confess that I am a sinner. Please forgive my sins and accept me as your child. I invite you to be my Savior and the Lord of my life. I surrender myself to you in the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord.

REFLECT CHRIST
Christ is the head of the church and as we know He is the authour and finisher of our faith we are call to serve that is what JESUS CHRIST showed to us when he was alive. If the Love of JESUS end up to die for you and me so what then are we supposed to do as we are the representative of His great Love.
For you and i to show this great Love of JESUS we need to reflect the most important thing which is the Love of Christ. (note: i'm not asking you to die for me or any body, but the only thing i'm passing on to you is to show the Love of JESUS to all (i.e every body that comes your way).
There are lots of way in which JESUS CHRIST show this love to us apart from the greatest Love He showed on the Cross of Calvary. He showed by Healing both the save and the unsave, providing for thousand of person, eating with the sinners, not condeming them of their sins but rather giving them hope and a chance to be the better person they ever love to be, He wash the feet of others showing submissiveness, to memsion but a few.
To you who has not yet belong to the fold of JESUS CHRIST or procastinating your repentance, you don't know what the next minutes holds for you and i why wasting time today is not the best. Accept JESUS CHRIST and you will see the big difference that will come into your life.
Today is the day for you to start REFLECTING CHRIST, and as you do you will be bless.
GOD BLESS YOU.
