Turning a new leaf on this day. What has the world to offer?
Am believing God for success and prosperity. It shall come to pass that my gifts will only be coming in ribbons due to their size.
Wish me well, and watch what God will do to His glory and Honor.

The History of Drums
How did drums begin and how have they changed over time?
History of drums began with the emergence of human civilization. Drum beating as it is popularly known has been associated with the birth of humankind. Drum and bass (commonly abbreviated to DnB, drum n bass and drum and bass) is a sort of electronic dance music also known as jungle. It is also called a membranophone, means an instrument that makes sound by striking a prolonged membrane with some type of object, typically a curved stick.
Drums consist of a hollowed out piece (called the body), a covering extended over the end of the drum, and tuning keys or pegs which stiffens or loosens the membrane to achieve different tones. It is a common notion that the body of the drum generates the sound; it is in fact the membrane and its vibration that creates the sound when struck.
Following the history of drums, it is presumed origination of drums to be as early as in 6000 BC. Mesopotamian excavations discovered small cylindrical drums dated 3000 BC. Inside caves in Peru several wall markings were found which show the use of drums in various aspects of communal life. The American Indians used gourd and wooden constructed drums for their rituals and ceremonies. Drums are not always used for creating music only. It has also been used for communication purpose.
African drums
Adding more than one drum!
In African tribal cultures (also in the regional culture), drums bore an important part in the use of rituals and religious ceremonies. The people of different African tribes relied on the use of drums to express themselves and important messaging was done through series of drum beats along the length of the jungle. African drums and drummers provided an addictive and unique sound that deeply influenced Western Rock and Roll music
When it was discovered in the history of drums that one player could play two or more drums at the same time, people started placing groups of drums together for one musician to play. The player not only played drums of similar types but also imported from other cultures and around the globe. The early 1930s discovered a newly found trick. Musicians found out with the proper drum placement and a lot of practice, a single player could handle a set of drums, and an entire group of drum players was not necessary anymore. This leads to the origin of the Drum kit.
How did drums develop
Double drumming is an important development in the history of drums. Double drumming is one drummer playing more than one drums. Cymbals and tom toms, invented in China were added to drum kits of the drummer, which was fast to accommodate different set of drums. Cowbells, wooden blocks, and chimes which were the percussion additions were incorporated as well. In the flow of the history of drums, by the 1930s the typical drum kit had taken shape with the various instruments in its armory. The kit consisted of a foot pedal and bass drum, snare, hi hat cymbal, tom toms, and large hanging cymbals.
1960s saw the rise of rock drummers, who began the development of drum kits that are the standard today. More toms and cymbals, as well as the accumulation of another bass drum to boost speed were added. Electronic drums then came into being with the intention of creating sounds that traditional drums were unable to generate. The history of drums thus echoed the variable sounds and rhythms of human development.

Invest in who you are.
It has been said that the best investment is investing in your future. I differ.
It is not even in investing in the future of your friend, NO!
According to me, the best investment is the investment in your present.
INVESTING IN WHO YOU ARE NOW, and making him or her better.
We can do this, and we will do this. Yes. As parents, you can invest in your childrens present. I personally did. I invented in my present. After high school i served God for one year-2005. After college am again doing another year-2011. This gives me a chance to connect with God well and to become a better man.
You can do this as well. If intrested, let me know if you are wondering how?
An investment in their present, is an investment in their future.

BELIEVE because you are a believer...
Abram - Abraham
Am reading through the book of Genesis.
Just stopped at chapter 24.
The life of Abraham is surprising me- Ch 12ff
This man is extremely blessed -13:2
Though without a child until 100 years - 15:2, 21:5
He is successful – 14:16
Much Livestock, Silver and Gold
He has favor with Nations – 23:5
Even though he struggles with a lying tongue – 20:2
God still talks to him -21:12, 12:1
Nobody wants to have him as an enemy – 21:22
And all this is because of one thing.
He believed – 15:6
He believed the Lord.
I choose to believe.
Yes. I choose to BELIEVE that God is.
He is a rewader of them that diligently seek Him.
But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

JESUS THE GATE, SATAN THE GATE CRASHER
John 10:1-101:Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2: But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3: To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4: And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5: And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6: This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7: Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
It is good to note that Christ refers to Himself in verse 7 as the DOOR. Not the shepherd, No! he is the door. Did you know that there is only one way to salvation and into been part of the kingdom of God? Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. We can only go to the father through Jesus Christ. There is no other way by which we can be saved. Only the Jesus way.He is not the shepherd, but the good shepherd. He is not the king, but the King of Kings. He is not the Lord, but the Lord of Lords. He isn’t just a counselor, but the Mighty counselor. God is above and beyond what you might think of Him. Never limit Him this year. He once asked the disciples, ‘whom do people say that I am?’
WHO DO YOU SAY JESUS IS? Who is He to you? To me He is El-Shadad. Jehovah, the Lord my Father]
8: All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9: I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
God has this party organized for you and has invited most of your friends and loved ones. There is alot of food, music that you like, decoration, Swimming- that is drowned in water, awesome lighting and a time for some fireworks. Later in the night, people will unwind around the fire and talk almost till Dawn. It's a party to die for, long for and not to miss. According to Jeremiah 29:11 the plans of God for you are ever good. Just as this one.
This is the plan of God for you this year. It is for good and not for evil. You will surely attain all that you hope for.
All in all, there are some people-uninvited guests who choose to come and ruin the party. Since they have no invitation Card. They have to find another way in. Ruka (Jump over the) fence. Vs1. This is drunkardness, Lies, evil thoughts, hatred, jealousy, porn, faithlessness, no prayer, and no bible reading , friends and people who build as not at all . . . among others.
These guys are out to spoil the Party and make sure that all the food, drinks, music, friends and company, fireworks etc goes to waste.
But God has some good news. He says - I AM COME. That you may have life, and have it even more abundantly. Vs10.
Abundance will mean no lies, no hate, no hurts, no pain, no sicknesses, no porn, no fellowship missing, no lack of prayer, no peer influence in the wrong ways and the list is long. ABUNDANCE.That and this is what I pray for you. That God will set you free from any sin that easily entangles you. In the Name of Jesus, you will walk a sin free life. It is possible. So that at the end of the day you will enjoy the party set for you.Don’t allow any Tom, Dick or Harry to ruin your party this year.
