Champagne is expensive, but is not important to life like water. Ordinary things are often more valuable than expensive ones. Water might be ordinary, but without it, there's no life. Value the ordinary people in your life, if you want to succeed and thrive. Rich friends are like champagne, good to drink. But ordinary people like gatemen, security guard, house mates are like water, they are useful to life. They secure you while you sleep, they raise your children while you go to work. Appreciate and value them. Don't look down on them... To be continued

PART TWO OF - GOD'S BIG IDEAS

POWERED BY RAPHAEL UDOH
(THE INSPIRING WORD OF GOD FOR YOUNG WORLD CHANGERS)
Principle one :
There is nothing on earth more powerful than an idea.
Principle two :
Ideas produce everything. The chair in your home was first an idea, the shoe on your feet was first an idea, the TV you watch in your home right now was first an idea, the building you live in was first an idea, even the dress you are wearing was first an idea. This write-up you are reading now was first an idea from me the writer. Everything on earth is a product of ideas.
Principle three :
Everything began as an idea.
Principle number four :
Ideas produce everything. This shows you how powerful ideas are. We neglect the concept of idea but idea is the source of everything here on earth. Permit me to tell you that idea is the power house of wealth.
Principle four :
Ideas are more powerful than death because death can’t kill an idea. Ideas uplift men. Friends, permit me to tell you this, you can kill a man but you can't destroy his ideas.
Principle six :
Ideas can not be destroyed. You can see the reason why we have to embrace idea.
Principle seven :
Ideas submerge and the re-emerge in generations. This is why King Solomon discussed on Sakacism. The book of Ecclesiates is a Sakacism or zakacism. In that book the king said this word: there is nothing new under the sun. In order word, if you think you have a new idea, it was here before. So, ideas submerge that is to say, they could be lost to entire generations and then they can be re-emerge in the next generation. Ideas never die they just submerge.
Principle Eight :
Ideas control the world. The world is actually ruled by death men. America and even Nigeria my country is actually governed by death people. They died but the ideas is still ruling the country. You know, democracy was an idea that was invented by great philosophers. The ideas of democrater is a Greek word, which we embrace as democracy. Democracy was in

Kester quickly rushed and opened the door as if he was praying for someone to knock or expecting the knock.

It was Kester's talkative neighbor.

He needed a lighter to on his cooking gas.

Kester tries to introduce some talking to delay him since he was good with talking but the neighbor seems to be in a hurry today.

Kester apologized as he came in and sat down.

**WHEN YOU WERE THERE**
Episode 7
She went straight into her room and sat on the floor, gazing at the pictures on the wall.

Her grandma entered without knocking and sat beside her.

Mummy,
Her grandmother called her.

Do you know why I often call you my mummy?

Because you and your mother was my only surviving child before she died, and you too, her only child.

Now you are my only grandchild,
And each time I look at you, I see my mother, your great grandmother in you.

Hmmm... She was really a very strong women.

My father left her to cater for us, and she gave us all we ever needed.

She never let anything pull her down,

She saw through every problem and came out strong.

That's where I and your late mother got our strength from.

You are our offspring and I see a strong woman in you,
She said to Mona who is fast asleep with her head resting on her shoulder.

Grandma quietly lay her down to sleep and went Into her room.

On her knees she prayed;
Sweet Jesus, please help my baby pull through this, and grant me the wisdom to help her strengthen.
In Jesus name.

And she laid down to sleep.

Its 5:am and it was time for the morning devotion.

After the morning prayer, grandma called Mona to her room.

You came in since yesterday,
Grandma started with.

What brought you home so impromptu? She asked.

Mama, am sorry.
I know I have disappointed you and failed heaven,
Mona said, going down on her knees.

Grandma sat patiently, listening.

Mama, am tired of long speeches,
Am pregnant!
Mona said with head bowed.

Mona was silent, expecting a reaction from her grandma who was still listening.

There was a few minutes silence and grandma broke the silence.

Go on my dear,
Am listening.
Grandma said, holding her hands tight.

Mama am through,
Mona said, looking up

Learning is a central process in understanding human behaviour.

Learning is the process of the information of relatively permanent neural circuit through the simultaneous activity of the elements of the circuit to-be ,such activity is of the nature of change in cell structure through growth in such a manner as to facilitate the arousal of the entire circuit

when a component elements is arousal or activated.

Learning is a dynamic process whereby, through interactive experience, insights or cognitive structures of life spaces are changed and so become more useful for future guidance.

Learning is a part of almost every aspect of psychology, from development psychology (how we acquire behaviour through the life cycle ) to social psychology (how we learn to interact with other ) to abnormal psychology (how we develop such behaviour as phobias and depression ).

In my own view, learning is a process of developing a creative thinking mindset, which helps to solve human problems, and produce a permanent change in human behaviour land attitude .

INTRODUCTION Many Learning Theories have been developed over a long period, though a majority of those now in use have arisen in the last cent

WHEN YOU WERE THERE**
Episode 4

It's Mona's first day in her new fellowship. It's one of the largest fellowship on campus and Mona prefers it to avoid been noticed.
Kester is an usher in the fellowship and when new comers are welcomed, ushers are to help them with their bags and Bible to the front seat.
As part of the service, first timers where welcomed as Kester and other ushers move to welcome them, Kester took the black hand bag of a Lady who was covering herself with a veil. You are welcome, Kester said as he made to shake her, it was Mona!.

Their heart both skipped as they stood, starring at each other for some seconds.

Mona!
Kester!
They both called each other the same time.

Where have you been?
Mona asked as she tries to hold her emotions.

Kester also tried to put on a smile as his hands were shaking.

He welcomed Mona to the first timers seat and left without saying a word.

The remaining part of the service was a mess for both of them.

Why has Kester been avoiding me, ?

It seems as though he has been doing it deliberately,

Has he heard the rumor,?
Does he think am pregnant?
Does he now see me as a backslider?
Mona asked herself.

On Kester's part, he had left the Church and was sitting by the car park around the Church premises.

What in the world is going on??
Mona?
God!
Why do I have to meet her today?
I feel so terrible!
And she look so different too!
Kester thought within himself.

Mona couldn't wait for the service to end.
She have a lot of questions running through her mind.
....why was Kester cold when he saw me?
Why did he refuse to keep in touch...

Kester prayed the service never ends because he wasn't prepared on meeting Mona.

Did she trace me down??
Have she discovered I was the one that r***d her?
Why is she looking so fat?
Is she pregnant?
For who?
How?
When?
No way!
She can't be pregnant,!
Its been a while I saw her, maybe that's why she is looking so different.
Why is my heart beating so fast then??
I feel so guilty! He said, rubbing his hands together.

The service had ended and Mona was expecting to see Kester, hoping he would be the one to attend to her, but Kester was no where to be found.
Mona became a little bit worried and restless.

My world is falling apart! She said to herself.
I have lost my relationship and walk with God.!
I have been leaving a pretentious life and lying, because I know am pregnant and can't tell anyone.
I have ran away from my fellowship members.
I don't even know my way back to the Lord.
Kester is my only consolation.
If I open up to Kester and tell him I was r***d will he believe me?
Why does it seem as though Kester don't want to see me??
Mona's heart was beating uncontrollable.
God help me! She muttered.

Kester is in the church toilet, crying profusely.

There was a knock on the toilet door, someone wants to use it.
Kester quickly washed his face and came out acting fine.

The President of the fellowship who was aware of the whole issue and promised to help him handle it, had travelled to the village and won't be back till weekend because of an Emmergency. And Kester couldn't reach him because his village don't have network.

Kester don't know how long he can keep up since Mona has eventually located him.

He picked up courage to face Mona.

Hi,
Kester's voice came behind Mona.

Mona shivered and her pen fell as she was trying to fill the first timers slip in her hand.

She turned back and it was Kester.

Hi Kester,
she responded cold.
Where have you been?
She added, completing her details and handed over the slip to the sister attending to her.

Uuhm....
Can you wait?
I have to be the last person to leave the Church as the head of ushers,
Kester said, trying not to look into her eyes and avoiding her previous question.

OK! Fine! Mona said, walking out of him to seat at the back seat, in the church entrance

Kester's room mate is also away.
Kester tried to delay as he was c

***WHEN YOU WERE THERE***

Episode 3

In a long while, Kester had battled with the guilt he felt whenever he think about what he did to Mona.

But through the help of "new creation" teachings, from his fellowship, he has been able to convince himself that he is a new creation in Christ, hence, old things has passed away, and all things become new, though sometimes, the thought of guilt often over ride his heart.

Kester decided to change his number to avoid contact with Mona until he was ready to face her and tell her the truth.

His fellowship president promised to help him with the process.

Kester is really growing fast in his new faith and has decided to change his name from Kester to Paul as he often regarded himself as Saul of tarsus now Paul, though he hasn't officially changed the name.

Mona have never been to Kester's place, so she didn't know how to find him.

She was worried and wondering why Kester hadn't kept in touch for a long while.

I hope he is alright?

She said to herself.

Two weeks later , and it was no longer rumor that Mona was pregnant.

Mona became so worried and didn't know what to do.

Everyone in the campus began to gossip, but it was two stories making news in campus.

First, Mona, aka ebce, could she be pregnant?

Second, Kester, now brother Paul is now born again.

Mona became so uncomfortable moving around school, fear and anxiety got the best of her.

She decided to change fellowship.

Mona joined a new fellowship and it was the same fellowship Kester attends.

To be continued........

Episode 2
It's two months and two weeks and Mona's flow hadn't come.

Fellowship members began to notice the drastic change in Mona's body and questions began to roll in.

Mona was scared of the changes she noticed in her body but she tried to dismiss the thought of pregnancy, the Bible says that whatever is not planted by my heavenly father shall be rooted out, so this pregnancy or assumed pregnancy can't remain, she declared within herself.

Sister Pelline was assigned by her fellowship sisters to find out what was going on with the changes in Mona's body.
At first, sister Pelline quickly put up a defense for Mona saying that it was development, knowing that soon, she'll be transitioning into adulthood, but when it became obvious and her fellowship sisters insisted, she decided to comply.

One Wednesday evening, after dinner, sister Pelline decided to ask Mona.

Mona, there's something I want to discus with you, and if you regard me as an elder sister, you won't be offended, Pelline said, holding Mona's hands and putting them on her laps as Mona was paying rapt attention.

OK, what's it? Mona replied, She was already getting suspicious of the next question.

....and I want you to confined in me and tell me the truth, Pelline added.

Sister Pelline, i'm a believer, a daughter of Zion, so you don't expect me to lie, do you? Mona said, trying to be Bravo.

When last did you see your flow? Pelline pointed out? Staring fast at Mona's eyes.

But why the question? Mona asked, trying not to be offended.

People are thinking you might be pregnant, Pelline said, scratching her head.
Mona acting surprise. Why??? Do I look Pregnant?? Mona asked with a full expression of surprise on her face, as her heart was beating fast.

Honestly, you do! Sister Pelline said, trying to be honest.

Your b***s look bigger than usual,

your hips enlarged and your face and feet fat too,

you generally look fat and beautiful, though your tommy is normal,

Pelline went on but Mona

***WHEN YOU WERE THERE ***
Episode 1
(The cat and the bag)
Mona is the only daughter of Mr/Mrs Vooli. Mr Vooli was a medical doctor and his wife a pastor.

Their death was mysterious as they were both poisoned because of their wealth.

Mona was only 16years old wen she lost her parents and her uncles deprived her of all her parents weather so Mona had to live with her grandmother, (mother's mother) in the village.

Mona is a light skinned slim lady with an average height and a bright eyes accompanied with a beautiful dental when she smiles.

Mona soon got admission into higher institution and decided to read law because of her ordeal with her uncles.

Kester on the other hand is a student of same school, but running his Master's program.

Kester heard about this new brilliant and chaste student who everyone seems to be talking about and promised his friends that he must have her on bed.

I want this girl,
and I mean it.
Kester said to his friends scratching his beard.

If she be reverend sister, then I no mind to be pop, Kester insisted.

Mehn! That girl tight, free her, u no fit even kiss her lips. Said, chally, one of Kester's friends.

Am a professional, so watch me do my thing. Kester boastfully replied.

One day, Mona had a little argument with a bike man and Kester was passing by,
so he intervened and settled the bills, while Mona insisted that the bike man was only trying to cheat her because she was new.
Kester cautioned her that as a believer, we must be peace makers.
And he left without waiting for her to say thank you.

This caught Mona's attention and she got home thinking of the good Samaritan who reminded her of been a believer.

Kester on the other hand, got home and brieved his friends on the latest.

Guys, I don do my registration oo, Kester said!

How? you be jambito? Scot asked, not paying full attention.

I meet with that Virgin Mary today and I don register my face, Kester said, calling their attention as he smiles mischievously.

One thing led to another and Mona and Kester became very close.

Mona thought Kester was a born again brother and even more spiritual than she is, because often times Kester had told Mona he was having a fast, prayer or retreat and won't be able to see her or visit her.

Kester is an academic genius and good with women too.

Soon, he won her trust and even sometimes come with word from "God" for Mona.

Kester took his time and studied all about Mona.

Mona lost guard and became so addicted to Kester.

Visions and revelations began to roll in from Mona's fellowship about deceit and false hood and Mona decided to distance herself from all brothers in her fellowship and stock to only Kester to be safe.

Kester also came with such word, warning Mona against bad company and pretentious brothers.

Soon, Kester got ready to strict, (so many things in between) and Kester drugged Mona and r***d her.

It was a smooth game and it left Mona with no trace!

Kester's two friends died in an auto crash when coming back from party.

Kester didn't attend the party because it was the day he set aside to r**e Mona.

Mona was a Virgin.

Kester began to feel regret and the death of his friends led him to Christ.

Mona kept her r**e ordeal from everyone because of shame.

She have no ideal it was Kester that did that.

Now, Kester is genuinely born again.

And Mona is pregnant. To be continue...
