MY COUNSEL TO STUDENTS WHO FAILED THEIR EXAMS

I was called to address some group of secondary school students who just failed their o-level exams.
I stood before them not knowing what to say, but as I looked at them compassion welled up in my heart for them then what I said next caused them to cheer up. A mother asked me afterwards, what did you said to my daughter, she came home and for the first time after the day her result came out, she smiled, and we discussed and laughed like nothing is wrong.
I told them that I was good in matrix, calculus, differentiation and permutations etc. and I’ll rather face an additional Maths problem than write a 450 words essay. In fact, I failed my essays over and over again in school.
But today, many think I write the best essays and I have edited for several high school English teachers and proof read many literatures.
I looked at them as they wonder the connection of what I was saying to their exam results; then I continued, your exam results is not your life result.
Don’t give up on yourself, that you failed an exam doesn’t mean you’ve failed in life and for those who thinks passing an exam means success in life, they are far from the truth.

The real test is the one on whether you kept the faith on God’s ability to give you your expected future. Whoever that haven’t given up trusting God for his or her future has not failed in life.
Then I asked them, do you still believe in God’s ability to take you to your destiny and give you your expected future? They all raised their hands and echoed, ‘yes, I believe’ then I replied, then you’ve not failed.
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
