TODAY IS FRIDAY 31 OCT.

By -



Mum said it’s a perfect birthday because I was born on a Friday of 31 Oct. And today is Friday. Dad had returned home with his salary because it was his payday and there was much to eat and celebrate with. I grew up shy and reserved, I grew up thinking as a parent while I was still a kid. I thought of what to eat, how to pay my school fees, how to care for mum and siblings; I don’t tell mum that I have pay school fees or eat, I rather want to find the school fees myself and pay and so I was really hard working. Every body in the neighborhood loved me because of the sense of responsibility that I exhibited. As a kid I had issues with anger, as a teen couldn’t talk to women because I do think they can’t love, I was wild and strong (climb the tallest trees just to proof to people there is no tree I cant climb, any kid then that saw any tree that looks challenging to climb would come and call me and the rest kids would gather to know if I can climb it.).
I grew up learning perseverance and love from my mum; she is my role model for a wife and mother. She did things to care for us and taught me early never to shy from responsibilities.
I grew into ministry following Bishop Promise Emeribe; he together with his wife, Rev. Ijeoma Emeribe taught me how to spend my life for God.
I grew up reading Radio Bible Class devotions (RBC), I learnt my style of writing from them and I was taught to show love to the unknown community through that devotionals.
I played my best football under CIG academy; this team believed in me and made me believed in myself. I had my best football moments with them.
People say a prophet is not known in his home, by my nuclear home so much believe in me, from my elder sister that calls me ‘my gold’, to my younger sibling that calls me ‘my best’, to our last girl that calls me ‘one and only’.
Thanks to all my sons and daughters and readers all over the world. Those that had used my picture to do me a birthday card, those that made me their profile pictures, those that sent a wonder message (as at this morning I have received not less than 200 messages) I love you.

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
