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.

THANK HIM

By
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you . 1These 5:18  Giving thanks to God or humanity seems to be the hardest thing to say for some folks, especially in the christendom. Gratitude is a covenant way to our high places, giving thanks for where we are today is one way to get to where we ought to be. Apostle Paul through the Holy Spirit said in everything, that is all things minus nothing. both in convenience and out of convenience, give Him thanks for that is the will of God  in Christ Jesus concerning you. Hear what God said:   If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name , saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Mala 2:2 That will not be our portion in Jesus name. Giving thanks here is not as the world will see it, that is thanking God or someone for w...

A LETTER TO GOD

By
Dear God, I am using this medium to appreciate your faithfulness, kindness and mercies in my life and to thank you most especially for the gift of life. Lord, it is another year you have given me, new opportunities, new challenges that'll take me to my next levels. but Lord, you know how weak I am. I acknowledge my weakness because I know that your strength is made perfect in my weakness, I know that I cannot help myself for by strength shall no man prevail. I therefore ask for your strength to go through this challenges so that I can get to where you want be me to be. Father, you said in your word that ... the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. Jer. 10:23. I therefore subscribe to your leading. Guide me precious father in all my endeavors this year. You said in Isaiah 30:21  And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left....

THE REALITIES OF ETERNITY II

By
Greetings, I believe you were blessed by the previous post, as I always says it's a great privilege from the Almighty God for us to see this day. it's not by our power nor by might or because of our righteousness but by His mercy, If you are reading this post, it's because God loves you, He wants you to prosper here on earth and enjoy your eternity in heaven. If there is anything He desires in this world, it is a relationship with you, that's why He created you anyway. I want to remind us of eternity once again. As we saw in the previous post, " the realities of eternity ", eternity is life without end which is the initial plan of God for humanity. We are made to last forever, we are just here on earth to prepare for eternity. No matter how long you lived here on earth it is nothing compared to life in eternity. Rick Warren rightful said: “Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye, but the consequences of it will last for...
