IT IS ANOTHER MONDAY MORNING

It is a beautiful Monday morning, the first working day of a new week. A new week full of opportunities.. I want to amplify September 24 "word with Joel &Victoria" (A devotional writer) . God's word in 1 Corinthians 2:9 which reads “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man, The things which God has prepared for those who love Him" is really an encouragement for all of us to raise our level of expectancy no matter the condition of economy in the country we are. It’s like God is saying to us, “You think you’re blessed? You haven’t seen anything yet!” Sure, God has been good to you, but He also has things for your future that if He told you right now, it would boggle your mind. You wouldn’t even believe it! Know today that God wants to bless you in your future. He wants to overwhelm you with His goodness and with things so wonderful you can’t even fathom it! This week, get ready for increase. Get prepared for promotion. You can still step into blessings you can’t even imagine this year . Keep believing, keep obeying His Word, and keep your heart open because you haven’t seen anything yet! Can you join us and make this prayer? “Father, today I raise my level of expectancy. I choose to take the limits off of my thinking. I know that You are able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all I could ever ask, think or imagine. Thank You for the blessing You have in store for me in Jesus’ name! Amen.” GOD BLESS YOU AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD!

CALMNESS AMIDST CRISIS

On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison........ Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists. Acts 12:6-8 when I read the line in bold, something struck me..... Peter was aware that from this prison he will be proceeding to a trial that may lead to his death, he knew he has fallen into the hands of a strong man. He was handed over to four squads of four soldiers, he was bound with two chains and amidst all these life treating conditions, peter was able to sleep with his two eyes closed. He was deep in the sleep to the point that he did not even know when the angel of the lord appeared, the light notwithstanding. In times like this when things seems to be going wrong, when prices of commodity are rising while income has remained virtually constant with the purchasing power falling. What should our attitude be? It is time to take a leaf from Peter's life on how to exercise calmness in the face of crisis. It is time to relax inside God who knows the future of Nigeria and holds tomorrow. Cast your burdens upon him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all we can ever ask or think. God is God and He is what He is. Have a great week ahead! God bless you !

I got challenged

10th and 11th May 2016 was ICAN induction for students who have successfully completed the institute's examination. Among everything that happened in the event, one thing that really caught my fancy is the performance of one of the students; Okewole Ronke, a female student that completed her exams November 2015. The interesting thing about her is that she came out with not less than four awards if not more among over 600 inductees present . Included in the awards she won were: best qualifying for the year, best qualifying for the diet and best qualifying female candidate. I was challenged by her brilliant, thrilling, resounding, outstanding, great performance. despite her other engagements as a lady (& perhaps a woman). Her performance reminded me that: I can actually become or achieve whatever I want or intend to, I should take responsibility for whatever happens to me, I can positively influence my own destiny, I can have impact on my own life. I can be stubborn about my goals but flexible about my methods, I can create the future I want for myself. I read from somewhere that if Plan A did not work, there are 25 more alphabets. I should keep trying until I hit my target. Dear reader just look at the lines below and answer the question I cant do it I want to do it How do i do it? I'll try to do it I can do it I will Do it Yes, I did it Yes,...Where are you? You have brains in your head, You have feet in your shoes you can steer yourself any direction you choose-Dr Suess Have a great day.

THE UNCERTAINTIES OF LIFE

I got to the office this morning and I heard about the demise of a colleague, a man in his young age, full of life and vigour.....He is healthy and strong, always conscious of his children until yesterday 3rd April 2016 evening when the cold hands of death grabbed him..... He left his family to drop off somebody and never returned........ The uncertainties of life.. we are here today & we are gone tomorrow... What a life! Most times I wonder ..... Is this life worth all these struggles???? We get up every day, put in all efforts, some even step on peoples' toes, soil their hands, lie, kill physically, mentally or emotionally just to make it. Suddenly we close our eyes to death and leave all these behind. .......The great question remains ...Is this life worth all these struggles??????? This life is full of uncertainties, but there is only one thing that is certain that all mortals must answer this call one day....transition from mortality to eternity. Another frightening truth is "there is another life after here" a life after death.... Eternity!!!!!! Dear reader don't you think it is better we hand over our life to Jesus who is our certainty in confusion?....Our certainty amidst this life of uncertainties This is more than going to church..belonging to one association in the church, picking a position or title in the church, paying tithe and offering. Christianity is a life. The bible says we should work out our salvation with fear & trembling. It is stated categorically that without holiness no eyes shall see the lord..... Friends, Is it not better we live our lives being conscious of the fact that there is a supreme being to whom we will give account of the way we lived our life and even if at the end of the day it does not happen that way we lose nothing?????? It is a fearful truth.....Once a man is born the soul never dies
