1993. A year to remember for me.

Scam!

There are things that really draw Mr. Right to a lady though. I think the first one is the look and the manner a lady compose herself. Mind you, out of arrogance, some ladies would have driven their Mr. Right away @ their first meeting, though unknowingly.

Tinubu! 64? No ooooo, he should pass that age now for that his look.

RIP. I sincerely sympathise with his family and the entire staff of Diamond Bank.

What must have been disturbing him? Whatever, that is making Baba to be parting him @ the back so?

Hummmmm! It is well.

“The strength of the laborers is giving out.”  Ne 4:10 NIV

What causes discouragement? (1)

The story of Nehemiah highlights four major sources of discouragement. Let’s look at the first of them: Fatigue. The people in Judah said, “The strength of the laborers is giving out.” In other words, they’d worked themselves to exhaustion. They were worn out physically, mentally, and emotionally. Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that discouragement is strictly a spiritual problem. We say, “Maybe I need to recommit my life to God,” when in fact the real problem is we’re burned out. We need rest and renewal. Indeed, sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is relax, or go to bed, or take some time off. When do fatigue and discouragement surface? Look at verse six: “So we rebuilt the wall until all of it reached half of its height.” Do you know when you’re most apt to get discouraged? When you’re halfway into a project! Everybody works hard at first. The Bible says the people “worked with all their heart” (v. 6 NIV). Why? Because of the newness of the project. It was exciting and novel, but after a while the newness wore off and the work got boring. Life settled into a routine, then a rut, then a ritual. Be careful: When fatigue walks in, faith walks out! That’s why the Psalmist said, “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul” (Ps 23:2-3 NIV). Fatigue is one of the biggest causes of discouragement, and it often shows up about midpoint. It’s why we leave so many projects unfinished. Bottom line: If you need time off, take it!

EASTER SUNDAY – Sunday March 27


“Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.”  Jn 11:25 NLT

Alive, immortal, and just like Jesus!

The story is told of a nine-year-old boy named Philip who suffered with Down Syndrome. In Sunday school the other kids made fun of him because he was different. The Sunday before Easter the teacher gave each of the kids a plastic egg and asked them to look for symbols of new life, like seeds and leaves, and then place them inside the egg. The idea was to open their eggs on Easter Sunday and discuss what they had found. When the children gathered they had collected all sorts of things like flowers, butterflies, and rocks. But when the teacher opened Philip’s egg it was empty. One child said, “That’s not fair, he didn’t do it right!” But Philip tugged at the teacher’s sleeve and said, “I did do it right. It’s empty because the tomb is empty. That’s why we have new life.” The class gasped—and from then on Philip rose to a new level of respect and became part of the group. But Philip’s family knew his time was short—too many problems for one small body. So that summer he died. As the class of eight-year-olds faced the reality of death, they marched up to the altar—but not with flowers. Together with their teacher they each placed an empty plastic egg on their friend’s tiny casket. Why is the resurrection of Jesus so important? For two reasons: (1) His resurrection guarantees yours. (2) If you live long enough you will experience the heartache of losing someone you love. Easter guarantees you will meet them again—alive, immortal, and just like Jesus!

EASTER SATURDAY – Saturday March 26



“For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin.”  2Co 5:21 NLT

He did it for you

The Roman soldiers may have nailed Jesus to the cross, but what held Him there? The Bible gives us the answer: “For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” The reason Jesus didn’t call an army of angels to save Him, as He could have, was because He’d rather give up His life than give up on you. We struggle to comprehend such a love because we’ve nothing to measure it by or compare it to. Nobody has ever loved us like Jesus, and nobody ever will! And His crucifixion makes it possible for us to “come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most” (Heb 4:16 NLT). W. A. Criswell writes: “In a dream I saw the Savior. His back was bare and there was a soldier lifting up his hand and bringing down that awful cat-o’-nine-tails…I rose and grasped his arm to hold it back. When I did, the soldier turned in astonishment and looked at me. And when I looked back at him I recognized—myself.” In the movie The Passion, people worldwide were moved by the hideous nature of crucifixion. Underlying the story were two clear messages: (1) This was the price required to redeem each of us, a price only Jesus could pay. (2) This is what we need to stop and think about each time we’re tempted to sin and disobey God.

If only most of this humility is directly from our inner life, and not just an ordinary outward appearances?

GOOD FRIDAY – Friday March 25




“Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?”  La 1:12 NKJV

Two questions

John Griffin, who controlled a railway drawbridge over the Mississippi River, took his young son to work with him one day. After putting the massive drawbridge up, Griffin was eating lunch when suddenly he heard the whistle of the Memphis Express roaring toward the crossing. Leaping from the observation deck, he ran to throw the control switch. Glancing down, his heart stopped! His son had fallen into the gears, trapping his leg in the cogs. Desperately he tried to devise a rescue plan, but there was no time. His son was down there—but there were four hundred passengers on the train! Griffin knew what he had to do. Burying his face in his arm, he pushed the master switch just in time to lower the bridge into place as the train thundered across. Then raising his head he looked into the passing windows with tear-filled eyes. There were businessmen casually reading the newspaper, ladies sipping coffee, and children eating ice cream. Nobody even looked at the control house or glanced down at the great gearbox. In agony Griffin cried out, “I sacrificed my son for you people. Don’t you care?” But as the train rushed by, nobody heard the anguished father’s words. On this Good Friday as we consider the cross where God sacrificed His Son for each of us, He’s asking: “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?” The question then becomes: “What…shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” (Mt 27:22 NKJV). There is only one right answer to that question: “Today, I accept You as my Savior and my Lord.”

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”  Pr 29:18

What do you “see”?

What do you “see” in your future? What’s your “vision?” In 1872 Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, yet one hundred years later African-Americans were still victims of segregation. During a speech at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. expressed his vision in these now famous words: “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the State of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream… of that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing the words of the old Negro spiritual, ‘Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!’” The night before Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis, he told his audience he had “seen” the Promised Land, and even though they may not get there at the same time, they would one day enter it. If you don’t have a vision for your life, ask God for one. And when He gives it to you, pour your life into it believing you’ll live to “see” it fulfilled!

What about this for the parallel market?

“Time would fail me to tell of…Jephthah.”  Heb 11:32 NKJV

Your child of promise (4)

Your child of promise may be far from perfect today, and their transition into God’s Kingdom may be anything but smooth. “Time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of aliens” (vv. 32-34 NKJV). When you read these names and know their stories, you realize Satan will fight your child of promise from the day they’re born until the day they die. And if he can’t get to them, he will try to get to their children. Jephthah had to rise above the stigma of having a prostitute for a mother and a father who wanted nothing to do with him. But he overcame all this, led Israel to victory over their enemies, became known as “a mighty man of valour” (Jdg 11:1), and ended up listed alongside the Bible’s greatest heroes, including Abraham, Moses, Esther, Ruth, and David. Abandonment, abuse, addiction, absenteeism, anger, and aggression—none of these can stop God from using your child of promise if you’ll “stand in the gap,” pray on their behalf, and keep speaking God’s Word over them. “What is the gap?” you ask. It’s the difference between what is and what can be; the difference between who your child is right now and who God knows he or she will become in the future.

“I sought for a man among them who would…stand in the gap.”  Eze 22:30 NKJV

Your child of promise (3) 

Sometimes your child of promise may get into trouble at school, mix with the wrong crowd, and experiment with drugs, alcohol, gangs, sex, etc. They may rebel against everything you’ve taught them. But that doesn’t mean they won’t eventually respond to God and do His will. Before Saul of Tarsus became Paul the apostle, God had to throw him off his horse, humble him before his peers, and blind him for a season. Do you remember what Jesus said to Saul of Tarsus on the Damascus Road that day? “It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks (thorns)” (Ac 9:5). Sometimes your child of promise will come the easy way, other times they’ll come kicking and screaming; and they won’t get there overnight! God took Paul into the wilderness for three years to detox him from wrong thinking and reprogram him with the truth of His Word, because that was necessary to equip him for his calling. So when your child of promise seems to be lost in the wilderness, blind to their destiny, or even down in the dust, don’t despair; God is still at work. What should you do? God said, “I sought for a man (or woman) among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of…” Build a wall of protective prayer around your child. “Stand in the gap” and pray God’s Word over them. Jesus promised that when you pray with authority here on earth, He will move heaven on your behalf (See Mt 16:19).

“Jephthah…was a mighty man…but he was the son of a harlot.”  Jdg 11:1 NKJV

Your child of promise (2)

Genes are powerful things! They can determine a child’s hair color, eye color, and the proclivities that make them like their father or mother. But when a child grows up and constantly makes bad choices it may not be genetic; it may be that the Enemy has targeted them because he’s discerned their destiny. That’s when God steps in. Moses’ mother placed him in a basket and hid him in the Nile River. But God arranged for Pharaoh’s own daughter to find him, take him to the palace, and raise him as a leader in Egypt. As a parent, when you do your part God will do His. When you do all you can for your child, God will intervene and do what you cannot do. Paul writes, “We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Ro 8:28 NLT). God has a “purpose” for your problem child, so keep loving them and praying for them however long it takes. The Bible says, “Jephthah…was a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot.” Your child may have been born in less than ideal circumstances, but that won’t stop God from blessing them. On the contrary, He can use every circumstance in their past to fuel their future with wisdom and strengthen them to fulfill the thing to which He’s called them. So don’t give up on your child of promise. Pray, “Lord, You promised it, I believe it, and it will come to pass!”

Father forgive me for the spirit of backsliding. I need your grace and mercy father. Teach me more your ways, and give me more grace to follow you in Jesus mighty name.

“Satan hath desired to have you…But I have prayed for thee.”  Lk 22:31-32

Your child of promise (1)

Your problem child could be a child of promise! God has a special destiny in mind for them; that’s why there’s been so much drama around him or her. Satan has targeted them because he sees their potential. He has discerned God’s plan for them and he’s out to stop it. Would Satan do that? Yes! He used Pharaoh to get to Moses, and King Herod to get to Jesus before they were two years old. Why? Because one day they would arise as deliverers and fulfill God’s plan. Likewise, Satan will attack your child of destiny. Paul said, “It pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles” (Gal 1:15-16 NKJV). But Paul spent the first thirty years of his life going the wrong way before he met Jesus and started going the right way. So as the parent of a child of promise, what should you do? Pray for them! Knowing the special plan Peter would fulfill and the attack of Satan that would soon come against him, Jesus told Peter: “Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren” (Lk 22:31-32 NKJV). When your children are young lay your hands on them and speak God’s Word over their lives. And as they enter their teenage years continue to pray and speak God’s blessing upon them. Fight for your child of promise!

“A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.”  Pr 29:11 NIV

Keep your anger in check

Anger is a God-ordained emotion, but it’s meant to be your servant instead of your master. So keep your temper on a leash. Any time you’re tempted to give in to anger, stop and ask yourself two questions: (1) Is this really worth my anger? Much of the time you’re working only with partial information. Furthermore, when you view someone in the context of their best qualities rather than their worst ones, you usually respond differently. (2) Is this the best way, place, and time to express my anger? It’s hard to ask yourself this in the heat of the moment, but your emotions can be tamed and your temper can be trained. The Bible says one of the fruits of the Spirit is “self-control” (See Gal 5:23). When someone wrongs you, the question isn’t are you big enough to do something about it; the question is are you big enough not to? The story’s told of two brothers who got into an awful fight and their mother ran upstairs to break it up. When she asked how the fight got started, the older brother said, “It all started when he hit me back!” If you’ve an anger management problem, write this Scripture down, carry it with you and try to read it before you lose your temper: “Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs” (Pr 19:11 NLT). You say, “That’s hard to do!” Yes, and you’ll never do it perfectly. But if you do it more often God will be glorified, and you’ll feel better too.

“God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.”  Ge 1:31 NKJV

Feeling “less-than”

Farai Chideya graduated from Harvard, worked for Newsweek magazine, and quickly rose to the top. Yet she spent years fighting bulimia, trying to become like the glossy images in the make-believe world around her. When she finally broke free from her disease she wrote: “Losing weight didn’t change my personality and it didn’t lighten the emotional baggage I carried from my childhood. I thought I wanted to be thin. What I really wanted was to be happy, and neither my looks nor my achievements could do that. Because I couldn’t love or accept myself, the acceptance of others was never enough. When I tried to be perfect I came across as remote and unapproachable, yet the exact opposite was what I wanted.” Then she shares four life-changing principles: “(1) Your obsession to be perfect will keep you trapped in loneliness, for satisfying relationships can only be built on honesty and total acceptance. (2) Your obsession to be perfect will force you to see your shortcomings as something to hide, instead of opportunities for growth. (3) Your obsession to be perfect will keep you fixated on what you’re going to be some day, instead of enjoying what you are right now. (4) Your obsession to be perfect will rob you of the chance to make your life count, for by focusing constantly on yourself you’ll have nothing left to give to others.” Bottom line: God didn’t need to create you, He chose to. On the day you were born He smiled and said, “Very good.” When you fully grasp that, you’ll begin to overcome the problem of feeling “less than.”

What could have cause the discord among the 2 brothers? Could it have been money or women?

Anyway, God knows all about it. It is well.
