I just want to say thank you Lord, thank you Lord, all I want to say is thank you Lord.

My prayer is that may we, individually be ready when the Lord returns for each one of us. For none knows the time and the day, but the King and our Lord is surely coming. Your king is coming - either Jesus Christ or the anti Christ. Who are you serving and waiting for.

For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because that we deserved it, but because that was His plan from before the beginning of time - to show us His grace through Christ Jesus. And now He has made all of this plain to use by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death and illuminated the way of life and immortality through the Good News. (II Timothy 1:9-10).

I pray that you accept the Lord's invitation to live a holy life for He that called you is Holy and His plan for you is to be Holy just as He is.

Thank you Lord for saving me

Overwhelmed by His Mercy and Grace everyday that He gave me. Hence, I am thankful to Him alone. To God be the Glory.

[Biafran Documents] Goldstein's Open Letter Of Resignation To Odumegwu Ojukwu .Tuesday, 16 October 2012 16:40 Written by Robert S. Goldstein (PR Representative of Biafra in the United States) Hits: 238 . .12345 Open Letter Of Resignation To Odumegwu Ojukwu

FROM Robert S. Goldstein (Public Relations Representative of Biafra in the United States) (Published in the Morning Post, Lagos, August 17, 1968)

As your Public Relation's Representative in the United States, it is my distasteful duty to tender my resignation based on the following points:

POINT 1 - In November of 1967 when we met in Umuahia, you and your Cabinet were very impressive. You told me of the woes of your little Republic, that thousands of people had died, were dying and more were prepared to die for freedom's sake.
You and your Cabinet told me you believed world opinion would help your cause if you could get your story across.

You expressed the opinion that very few if any people in the United States knew of the plight of the Biafrans.

You asked me to tell the world that Britain had teamed up with Russia in a conspiracy with the Federal Government of Nigeria to murder every Ibo in Biafra. You suggested I use my talents to induce the Press to write about the Biafran side of the war, as at that time all news came out of Lagos.

You will recall I did not take the assignment that day but stayed on several days before deciding to take that job.

To help win the peace

At that time I stated to you and your cabinet that I was taking the assignment making it crystal clear I would try my best to help win the peace not the war.

POINT TWO - I immediately arranged the first world Press conference in Biafra inviting the US Press as well as journalists and television people from England, France, Switzerland, Africa and other parts of the Globe. This was the first news break through. I arranged regular trips into Biafra for the world Press, helped set up stringers, etc., so that your statements and the statements of your Cabinet would be heard.

At that time, I was absolutely positive you were right and your cause was a just one in the best interests of the free world and your countrymen.

POINT THREE - Finally the Republic of Biafra was recognized first by Tanzania, then quickly followed by Gabon, the Ivory Coast and Zambia. Our public relations work was paying off, world opinion was starting to side with us.

Peace talks were arranged at Kampala. I thought that if anyone walked away from the table it would be the Federal Government. But to my dismay it was Biafra that left the Conference. After all the fighting and killing, I knew that peace would not come easy but I could not understand leaving the Peace Conference until the last point was negotiated and the avenue explored.

POINT FOUR - Then urgent telex messages were received from 'Biafra' telling of tens of thousands of people starving in the refugee camps, the villages, the bush country - stating if something weren’t done in the next few months over a million women, children and aged would be starved to death. I immediately contacted the Press, urgently petitioned the State Department for action on their part. Food, medicine and milk were sent to the only available ports open for immediate shipment to 'Biafra' via land routes through Federal and Biafra territory, under the auspices of world organizations such as the International Red Cross among others.

Then came the incredible answer from 'Biafra' that land corridors could not be acceptable until there was a complete ceasefire, and that an airlift was the only solution to feed the starving.

You then appeared before the various Heads of State and representatives of the OAU at Niamey in Niger. I fully expected you to at least accept the world help that was offered your starving throngs. However, you delayed, hoping to use these unfortunates with world sympathy on their side as a tool to further your ambition to achieve war concessions at the upcoming peace talks in Addis Ababa. Thus innocent victims continue to perish needlessly of starvation, the most agonising death that can befall any living creature.

POINT FIVE - This was incredible to me. I am now convinced that I have been used by you and your cabinet to help in military adventures of your origin....using your starving hordes as hostages to negotiate a victory.

If at some later date, following the isuance of this letter, you do concede to allow a mercy land corridor...would you expect me to agree to espouse before the world Press the incredible delay of your decision. What explanation could I honestly give for the needless prolongation of this horror.

Inconceivable acts

I pray this communication may in some small way influence you to move affirmatively, allowing the mercy land corridor to be born.

It is inconceivable to me that you would stop the feeding of thousands of your countrymen (under auspicies of world organizations such as the International Red Cross, World Council of Churches and many more) via a land corridor which is the only practical way to bring in food to help at this time. It is inconcivable to me that men of good faith would try to twist world opinion in such a manner as to deceive people into believing that the starvation and hunger that is consuming 'Biafra' is a plot of Britian, Nigeria and others to commit genocide.

POINT SIX - I cannot in all conscience serve you any longer. Nor can I be a party to suppressing the fact that your starving thousands have the food, medicine and milk available to them.....it can and is ready to be delivered through international organizations to you. Only your constant refusal has stopped its delivery.

I am this date, tendering my resignation and am returning to Mr. Collins Obih of the African Continental Bank all the fees you have given me (Letter of Credit No. 354 $400,000 US.)

I have sent your representative in New York a Bond in the amount of 800.000 pounds that I was holding in your behalf. I have also this date, sent the Bond of 200,000 pounds issues by the Central Bankl of Nigeria back to them for disposal.

POINT SEVEN - I am now convinced that one Nigeria is the only solution to peace. I also call upon you Mr. Ojukwu to allow your starving people to be fed. Their well-being is of deep concern to me as well as other right thinking people of the world. Your acting in the utmost haste in this matter is in my opinion the first step toward any lasting peace in your country."

@ O.D.B. Thanks for the explanation, but my interest is to know when the cloud base is at the highest in South South area. The project I am working on is highly dependent of vertical visibility and I will want to know more a period or season in the year where the cloud base could be at its highest.

Thanks and I really did not get your email address. But you can email me using the email in my profile.

I am also interested in getting a contact at the MET center, have a project in Nigeria that is highly dependent on weather conditions especially in Lagos and South South area. Any assistance on cloud base will be highly appreciated.

For a certainty, Jesus is coming soon, but no one know the day nor the hour. I pray that we will all be ready when He returns.

Thank you Lord for giving me this day and for renewing your mercy unto me and my family. Indeed great is your faithfulness.

How do I attach or copy and paste pix into the reply

The pictures are not going through and I don't know why. I can have them email to you if you give your email address.

Still faithful after 30 years of marriage by the Grace of God

These people are just stupid, the organizer/convener children and family are in Europe and these brainless ones are being used as foot soldiers.  We were they when those that have a legitimate protest against the illegal toll gate at Lekki-Epe road were battered and bruised by MOPOL deployed by Fashola.

Crook Personified

I have been married for almost 30-years and never for once cheated on my wife. Though have the opportunity many times over the years but I chosed to not succumb to such temptation.

Christian! seek not yet repose,
Hear thy guardian angel say;
Thou art in the midst of foes;
“Watch and pray.”

Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for thy unguarded hours;
“Watch and pray.”

Gird thy heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one;
“Watch and pray.”

Hear the victors who o’ercame;
Still they mark each warrior’s way;
All with one clear voice exclaim,
“Watch and pray.”

Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His Word,
“Watch and pray.”

Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray that help may be sent down;
“Watch and pray.”

For God to use a person effectively (and every one born of the Spirit can be used by God), that person have to come to the end of him/herself.

Jonah came to the end of himself while he was in the belly of the fish. A prophet being rebellious towards God and claiming to know God more than God Himself (for he said that he knew that God will not destroy the city because He is merciful).

Then the four lepers (2 Kings 7:3-9) came to the end of themselves and decided to take a step of faith in walking to the camp of the enemy. Their little steps sounded like the noise of great army approaching the camp of the enemy and the enemy panicked and ran away abandoning their tents and leaving all their horses, donkeys, silver, gold and clothing. The lepers on getting there not only have a free dinner but also took possession of the abandoned riches left by the Syrian army. God used their seemingly little strength to achieve so much for his people Israel - for the siege of the Syrian army was lifted and food was again restored in abundance.

The prophesy of the man of God - Elisha as receive from God came to pass because these lepers have come to the end of themselves and took a seemingly natural step that God now used to accomplish supernatural deliverance for his people.

The question for you and me is "Have you come to the end of yourself?, or has fear incapacitated you to the point that you are holding up a fulfillment of prophesy for you, your family or a whole nation?.

I pray that the Holy Spirit will enlarge this word in your heart and may He shed His light at every area of our life. Oh that the Blood of Jesus will set you free today to believe God enough to abandon all and do as He alone has commanded you to do in Jesus name.

What is the size of the land?

Yes, Yes and Yes. having being married for almost 30-years, I could not pray for any other woman. But all is to the Glory of God that has been sustaining me.

As a Christian and especially as a minister of God, when do we substitute "being led by God and the Holy Spirit" to being led by "personal conviction."

I am running on personal conviction, God didn’t ask me to run -Bakare

As the 2011 presidential election gathers momentum, Senior Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly and vice presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Pastor Tunde Bakare has said he never at any time said God told him to participate in the election. He said he was contesting the election based on a personal conviction and warned that no man should use the name of God in vain.


Bakare made the clarification while addressing members of his congregation on his decision to get involved in partisan politics. He spoke during a service of the church yesterday in Lagos.
The preacher was nominated last week as the running mate of the former head of state and presidential candidate of the CPC, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) in the April 2011 election. His nomination and decision to go into politics had attracted mixed reactions across the country.

Rationalizing his decision to get involved in politics, Bakare said all it would take for evil to flourish in the land was for godly people to refuse to get involved in the political process. He said his involvement in politics would neither change his person nor his Christian faith. The Later Rain Assembly pastor stated that if anything, his decision to participate in the forthcoming presidential election would impact on the country positively.

According to him, “if Buhari wins, we will make the difference. If he does not, Nigerian politics will not remain the same. We are going to influence the environment.” Quoting copiously from various portions of the Holy Bible in a message entitled: A tale of three priesthood, the fiery preacher said the bane of the nation had always been bad governance epitomised by corruption and other social vices.

Bakare said it was only when the righteous were in authority that the people could rejoice. But that when the wicked were in authority, the people would groan. According to him, a wicked ruler in a country was like a bear on the prowl. He wondered for how long Nigerians would continue to groan. Speaking further, he said a lot of people had expressed concern on how himself and General Buhari would get money to fund the campaign as both of them were known not to be billionaires.

The CPC vice presidential candidate said just as was the case during the election of President Barack Obama in America, they would be depending on the ordinary people to fund the campaign. He expressed optimism that the common people would be willing to support the campaign with the little they had because they would see a difference in the CPC team.

He said though the campaign had not started, he was already receiving support from Nigerians. According to him, about 600 Nigerians on the social networking site, facebook had volunteered to be part of the campaign to realize the Buhari/Bakare presidency. Bakare displayed before the congregation, a branded T. Shirt with the inscription ‘Buhari /Bakare 2011’, which, he said, was prepared by some individuals as part of their support to the CPC presidential ticket.

“Ordinary people will give us money because they will see the difference. By the Grace of God, we are going to raise standards. “The campaign has not started and already they are volunteers. We are going to dethrone money politics in Nigeria. We are not seeking power. We already have power.”

“It is a new day. The future is here. The hope that is shattered is returning to our country. This is going to be one of the greatest elections, because we are not depending on money bags but on God,” he declared.
He said though many had wondered whether it was possible for the shepherd of the church to shepherd the nation?

“A pastor can actually transit from leading a church to leading an entire country. Why die a local champion when you have the opportunity to reach an entire nation?” Bakare queried. “Nigeria will be saved. Nigeria will be great in our time. It is time to pastor the nation. It is time to restore. Let’s build a great nation,” he urged.
