SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS

By -



Some talk about the devil in fear, I talk about God in faith.
Some see the evil that had filled the world; I see the good that fills God’s creation.
Some talk about how difficult things are, I talk how wonderful things are.
While many discuss about their enemies, I talk about my friends.

Those who detect when i’m sleepless and stay awake with me
Those I didn’t invite yet they come to join me do what am doing
Those who know when i’m disturb and want to cheer me up
Those who laugh at my joke though it sounds dry and un-funny
Those who notice when i’m tire and natter me to rest
Those who make time for me though it cost it
Those who forsake what they are doing because they think I may need their attention.
These are the people who fill my world; these are the people I carry in my thought always. If you are among them, know that I think of you always and I thank you so much.
Our world is not filled with enemies but friends; our life isn’t filled with hatred but love. What you pay attention to becomes more evident in your life. If you pay attention to the hatred and enemies and all the bad stuffs, these negativity would become the eventualities of your life but when you concentrate on acts of love done towards you, friendly gestures showered on you and all the good stuffs, you’ll enjoy life.
When am taking bath in a warm Jacuzzi, I do have fun and when am in a place where I have to bath in a dirty public place, I even have greater fun; when am eating a sumptuous meal at MacDonalds, I do enjoy and when am drinking ‘garri’ (deprived food) in a poor house, the ecstasy in my face doesn’t reduce. No place is inferior if you learn how to enjoy every place and no meal is better if you know how to get pleasure from it. The joy in what we do is not in what we do but in who we are and in what fills our heart.
Why not start noticing smiles instead of frown, love instead of hate and care instead of rejection etc. always look for what to enjoy in a thing and not what to loath
I enjoy my the snake game in Nokia 3310 more than those with I pad enjoys the PES 2015 game in their Ipad, I enjoy my made-in-Aba shoes than those with Italian made shoes etc. I have learnt to enjoy everything created by God. There is always something good in everything, reach out for the good and ignore the bad. We are surrounded by friends.
Christ came that we might enjoy life (John 10:10).
God bless you

EVIL

By -
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
