Mangoes generally offer a myriad of skin benefits for the skin, hair, body etc. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 6 amazing benefits mangoes, the king of fruits.
Enhances Skin Health
Mangoes are rich in beta-carotene and Vitamin A. Beta-carotene is a photo-protective agent that helps quench photochemical reactions in the epidermis, which protects the skin from ultraviolet rays. The Vitamin A in mangoes has also been found to reduce oil production in the skin which helps to combat acne and dark spots. Both the beta-carotene and vitamin A help to resurrect dead skin and make radiant and luminous. Eating mangoes as well as smearing some mango pulp on your face and leaving on for about 30 minutes will do wonders for your skin.
Winning Wisdom: Be Contented

| Author: Ese Ehimare Dave |
I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. - Philippians 4:12
One of the keys to unending joy is contentment. When you see a man that is contented, you will notice the joy in him. He is not downcast by the lack of the riches of life. And even when he has much, he is also at peace and full of joy. Contentment is a mindset. It has nothing to do with poverty and wealth. A wealthy man who is not contented with the much he has will go after more wealth, even if it means defrauding people and denying others of their entitlements. That is one of the reasons our politician and public servants and people generally are corruption and embezzled money meant for the public good.

Joel and Victoria Osteen’s daily devotional March 27, 2017 – You Were Not an Accident
Today’s Scripture: "I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb..." - (Jeremiah 1:5, NLT)
Topic: You Were Not an Accident [Monday March 27, 2017]
God knew you before you were even born. What an amazing thought! He saw your unformed substance and said, “I have a purpose for this life. I have good plans for them!” Then He breathed His life into you and sent you through your mother and father. They may have had issues, but that doesn’t have to stop you from becoming all that God intended for you to be. You have been handpicked by Almighty God to be here at this time in history!
David Abioye's Daily Devotional March 27, 2017 – Follow Order
Topic: Follow Order [Monday March 27, 2017]
…The LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought Him not after the due order. - 1 Chronicles 15:13
Order is the cure to chaos.
Chaos exists when order exits.
Joyce Meyer's daily devotional March 27 2017 – The Journey Toward Unselfishness
Topic: The Journey Toward Unselfishness [Monday March 27, 2017]
. . . I die daily [I face death every day and die to self]. — 1 Corinthians 15:31
Selfishness is not learned behavior; we are born with it. The Bible refers to it as "sin nature." Adam and Eve sinned against God by doing what He told them not to do, and the sin principle they established was forever passed to every person who would ever be born. God sent His Son, Jesus, to die for our sins, and to deliver us from them. He came to undo what Adam did.

Bishop David Oyedepo: Accessing Divine Wisdom through Meditation!
Signs & Wonders (Sunday, March 19, 2017)
Topic: Accessing Divine Wisdom through Meditation!
By David O. Oyedepo
…What wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands (Mark 6:2)?
According to scriptures, the wisdom of God is that of mighty words which expresses itself in mighty works. For instance, Jesus exemplified divine wisdom as He taught in the synagogue and people were utterly astonished, as seen in the above scripture.
DCLM Daily Manna March 27, 2017 by Pastor Kumuyi – God’s Sanctuary among Men
Topic: God’s Sanctuary among Men [Monday March 27, 2017]
Text: Exodus 25:1-22
Key Verse: "And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel" (Exodus 25:2)
God still seeks to dwell among men. He still craves to continue His fellowship with us just as He did in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve. He has a burning desire to have a continuous relationship with man the crown of His creation; hence, the call to the nation of Israel to build a tabernacle unto Him where He would dwell among them. God instructed Moses on the mountain to prepare for the making of a tabernacle wherein He might dwell with man.
Foundation For An Enviable Marriage (4) by Pastor Faith Oyedepo

| Author: Pastor Faith Oyedepo |
Dear Reader,
So far, we have taken time together to look at the Word of God, as it relates to birthing an enviable marriage. Among other things, we have discussed that God has made available in His Word, the tools needed to make this a reality (Psalms 119:105).
This week, as we round off this teaching, I will be sharing with you what I captioned, Satan’s Interest in the Home. Every successful marriage is a threat to Satan’s kingdom; that’s why he would do anything to destroy it.
Our Daily Bread Devotional, March 27, 2017 - Image Management
Topic: Image Management [Monday March 27, 2017]
Read: Isaiah 43:1–9, Bible in a Year: Judges 1–3; Luke 4:1–30
You are precious and honored in my sight, and . . . I love you. Isaiah 43:4
To celebrate Winston Churchill’s eightieth birthday, the British parliament commissioned artist Graham Sutherland to paint a portrait of the celebrated statesman. “How are you going to paint me?” Churchill reportedly asked the artist: “As a cherub, or the Bulldog?” Churchill liked these two popular perceptions of him. Sutherland, however, said he would paint what he saw.
Kenneth Copeland’s daily devotional March 27, 2017 - From Believing to Perceiving
Topic: Ambassador for Christ [Monday March 27, 2017]
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. - Romans 8:37
The Bible calls us kings and priests (Revelation 1:6) and world overcomers (1 John 5:4). But for most of us, those are just phrases. They haven't become real to us. That's why the devil's been able to hoodwink us into living lives of defeat. It hasn't actually dawned on us who we really are.
Billy Graham’s daily devotional March 27, 2017 - The Greatest Act of Humility
Topic: The Greatest Act of Humility [Monday March 27, 2017]
. . . he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. — Matthew 23:12
In almost every instance in the Bible, as well as in life, pride is associated with failure, not success. We hear a great deal about the inferiority complex, but the superiority complex of pride is seldom spoken of. It was pride that caused the fall of Lucifer, and he became Satan, the devil. It was pride that led King Saul down to a shameful and untimely death. It was pride that caused Peter to deny his Lord.
Dunamis’ Daily Devotional March 27, 2017 by Pastor Paul Enenche – Come Out From Among Them
Topic: Come Out From Among Them [Monday March 27, 2017]
Scripture: “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you” 2 Corinthians 6:17
Thought For The Day: There can be no distinction without separation; conformity is the reason for uniformity in calamity.
Our subject today is in the form of an instruction – ‘Come out from among them’. The question now is, come out from among whom to do what? It is to come out of the worldly system to live the life of righteousness.
The truth is, there can be no distinction without separation. To be like the rest is to die like the rest. Conformity is the reason for uniformity in calamity. Until your nature is different your future can never be different.
The tragedy today is that it is difficult to differentiate a believer from an unbeliever because of similarities in habits. They all tell lies, dress in the same seductive fashion, cheat in examinations, forge documents and give false declarations of age, etc.
Beloved, that the whole world is doing it does not make it right. The standards of God remain sure. The principles of God cannot be changed to suit the life of compromise of a believer.
For as long as you are not different from them, your destiny can never be different from theirs.
I prophesy on you the grace to stand for God in character even if you are standing alone in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: There can be no distinction without separation; conformity is the reason for uniformity in calamity.
Assignments:
1. Ensure that you make the Word of God your standard not man.
2. Determine to be clearly different in character and conduct from the unbelievers
FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTIANITY
Prayer: LORD, I ask for Your forgiveness in any area I have lived like the unbelievers in times past. I make demands on Your Grace, O LORD, to be clearly different from the world in Jesus’ Name.
