WHAT FAVOR CAN DO...THE STORY OF OLAJUMOKE

By

The story of the sudden turnaround of a 27 years old Nigerian lady who slept a bread hawker and wake up a celebrity is no longer news. Currently, she is the most googled person in Nigeria just between two months. Someone may be  tempted to ask, why the sudden change? is she the most beautiful girl in Nigeria?, is she the most educated or is she the only bread hawker in Lagos streets?. The answer is NO, so what then brought about the sudden lifting from grass to glory, that even churches now uses her pix in program banners. It is far from being ordinary, let me ask: where are the Phd, Bsc, Hnd and whatever certificate holders. Where are the beautiful young Nigerian girls messing themselves up in modelling schools scattered across the country in a quest to become a model: Apostle Paul said in 1 Cor 1:27-29:

 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:That no flesh should glory in his presence. 

Yes, it is not qualification, beauty and not even labor. It's Joseph order of favor which can only be given by the Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and permit me to add Joseph. It is not by virtue of what you have done or what you have not done. God says:
 ...and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. Exodus 33:19
When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. 
what attracted my attention most in this story is the fact that this lady is going about her business, she is living Proverb 22:29, she is been diligent hawking Agege Bread while hoping for a better future, she is not like many of us in the Christendom who claim to be waiting on the Lord while doing nothing. Such people are wasting without knowing.  It is important to wait on the Lord but much more important is what you are doing while waiting. So get busy, start that small business, God will surely meet you there, if you are faithful with the little in your hands.

From non-entity to a celebrity
From sleeping in bakery to luxury Apartment in Lagos
That's what favor can do...
Remain blessed.

THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU

By
Calvary greetings brethren, it's another great privilege from the Almighty God given me to share the word of truth. Dear Lord, we ask for your light (Revelation) and spiritual understanding as we journey through your word this moment. let every broken and depressed heart be comforted by the power of your word to the glory of your mighty name. in Jesus wonderful name we prayed. Amen. The Wikipedia free encyclopedia defines Hope as an optimistic attitude of mind based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in ones life or the world at large. it is that instinct that tells you that there is  a better future, it is instinct that tells you that this is not my end, I am coming out better. If you are going through any challenge right now, I am announcing to you that it's not your end, you are coming out of it a better person. the bible says in Job 11:18; And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope ; yea, thou shalt dig ...
