The Choice is Yours - God Does not Foce People

19 “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! 20 You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This* is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Deut. 30:19.

God has the power to compel us to do His bid. But He will not do that because he wants us to have a say in the affairs of our lives. That's why the above quotation is important to us all. You are a product of your choices in life. So, choose right. Good morning.

Soldier and Police Corruption, Their Biblical Bases

Soldiers (Matt. 28:13-15)

A meeting with the elders was called, and they decided to give the soldiers a large bribe. 13 They told the soldiers, “You must say, ‘Jesus’ disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body.’ 14 If the governor hears about it, we’ll stand up for you so you won’t get in trouble.” 15 So the guards accepted the bribe and said what they were told to say. Their story spread widely among the Jews, and they still tell it today.

Police (Matt. 5:25-26)

25 “When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 And if that happens, you surely won’t be free again until you have paid the last penny.*

Yet it is still prevalent till today! Good morning.

Dangers of Scheming

"According to lessons learnt from David's choice as king of Israel recorded in 1 Samuel 16:6-13, the one Heaven will anoint for significant assignments must be recommended by God. Similarly, the fellow must not be a position seeker. David was not seeking for the position of king, yet the Almighty God grabbed him and said, 'You will be king'. Whenever you see someone scheming one way or another to get ordained or to be considered for some important appointments in God's house, you can be sure that fellow is not chosen by God. Anyone truly chosen by God who hears that he or she is being considered for ordination, or any higher assignment will be humbled and would want to reject it. If he has the opportunity of dodging that appointment, he will gladly do so. If you examine those God called in the Bible - Moses, Joshua, Jeremiah, etc, they always asked, 'Lord, who am I that you would choose me for this assignment?' When God says He wants to ordain them, they would ask God to look for somebody else. God has a warning for those who scheme, manipulate or bribe their way into spiritual positions and promotions. "And seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest". It simply means putting yourself where God has not placed you can bring you a myriad of problems. Be wise."
Culled from Pastor E.A. Adeboye's Open Heavens of October 18th 2009

God is talking to somebody this morning who is a specialist in scheming for positions in their offices, families, churches, clubs, societies, etc. If you schemed yourself to attain the positions you currently occupy anywhere or have become an all-time schemer, ask God for forgiveness and ask Him to redirect your steps towards His purpose for your life. It is on in His purpose that you can succeed without sorrow added. Good morning.

Scoffers Don't Experience Breakthrough

Jesus did many more miracles everywhere except in his home town and amongst his own family. All his miracles were in foreign lands. Then he concluded “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.”

For you to record the breakthroughs, it is advisable you distinguish between the person you know in the physical and the person God intends to use to bless you and get glued to the latter irrespective of how familiar you think you have been to him or her. He may be your son, brother, sister,husband, auntie, Pastor, brethren, it doesn't matter. Also, don't get unnecessarily angry over their capability for it is God's gift for them. When you are angry, you losing the more! Good morning.

There’s appropriate Timing for Everything

“The time promised by God has come at last!” he (Jesus) announced before he finally started his ministry.
Planning always take the greater part of any project than its execution. Jesus spent 30 years preparing for a ministry that will last for only three and a half years but have ETERNAL effect upon the entire world! Learning from Jesus, therefore, if we want to succeed in anything, it is instructive that we check the appropriateness of the timing for whatever we intend to do and spend more time planning than rushing to execute them.

How do you know the timing is up? God may speak to you directly (audibly or through the Bible, through dreams, visions etc); He may use others (your Pastor, neighbour, unbelievers, believers, parents, teachers, friends, films you watch, books you read,things happening around you, etc); You may suddenly become restless about the project; you may feel unhappy unless you do something about it, everything surrounding you will tell you to PROCEED. When these convictions are overwhelming, then proceed. Will it be smooth? It may and it may not. Either way it does not mean that the timing is wrong. If it is tough, God will strengthen you if it is smooth, then it is a bonus. What's important is go ahead and do it. So to everything there's an appointed time!
(Eccl.3:1ff). Good morning.

What should polygamous people do with their extra wives?

Polygamy or monogamy, is not a condition-precedent for salvation! It is God who determines who is to be saved. BUT IT IS AGAINST BIBLICAL TEACHING THAT A POLYGAMIST BECOMES A PASTOR in the church - a serious limitation to serving God.

The irony of it all is that a monogamist Pastor who does not obey God may go to hell while a polygamous member of his congregation who has good relationship with God receive the grace for salvation!

So, you haven’t fallen into it, do yourself a favour,don’t fall into the booby trap of polygamy! The inevitable distractions (unfair treatments, pressures, quarrels, misunderstandings, etc) may pave way for living in hell on earth and eventually end you up in eternal hell because you are most likely to always be particularly angry and anger prima facie, sound parameter to go to hell (see Gal. 5:19-21).

Now as a man if, for whatever reasons, you find yourself in it. What do you do? If you really want to grow in the spirit and aspire to become a Pastor in a Bible believing Church, you must reduce the number of your wives to one - your very first wife even if she's a devil! Yes, it is a difficult decision to make, but what the Bible says. It is called restitution. Great men of God e.g. the founder of RCCG, Late Pa Akindayomi did it for the passion he had for Christ. Yes, they might have serious repercussions so the restitution itself must be properly handled and Holy spirit guided. The approach must be equitable to all (the outgoing wives in particular). If they are still marriable, they can re-marry but if not it is just fair that the man continues to provide for their needs in all things but two: living together as husband and wives and engaging in sexual relations. The children in the relationship remain the man's legitimate children for every child is God's child. The man must continue to be responsible for their needs till they become independent. Therefore All parties to it must be made to understand why and voluntarily agree to it otherwise it will lead to negative consequences.

Another important point is this: Restitution is not exactly "divorce" in the negative sense of the word. At the very best, it is ‘separation’ and separated people can still be friends if they carry Holy Ghost in them. It’s all about the sacrifice to right what is wrong. Good morning.

Attract, don’t repel people

"When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. 2 Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door.

Many Christians homes today are as dry as the dessert. That was not Jesus' approach. By his good deeds, he always attracted people to himself. It is not to gain popularity, but it naturally follows that if you do good people will always be attracted to you as it was to him. He only isolates himself when he needs a break to commune with his Father.
It is better to be sought after by people than to be isolated by them. Good morning.

Don't Run Away From Favour

The story the demon-possessed man (Mark 5:1-15ff) who sleeps in the caves and could not be controlled is instructive to us all who consider ourselves sane. He came to Jesus, bowed to him and in Mark 4:15 and was perfectly healed. He became himself and followed Christ.

But sadly those who were considered‘sane’ became insane by ordering Jesus out of their lives instead of embracing him like the mad man did. We all (the writer inclusive) see many signs and wonders that would have saved our lives as Jesus did to the mad man or people whom God would have used to help us fulfil our destinies. However, instead of bowing to Jesus to help us mend our ways, and move closer to our helpers, like the mad man did, we revolt against him or runs and run away from them. We continue in our old ways like those who saw Jesus did. In spite of whom we are, may God just have mercy upon us. May His unfailing love combined with His grace deliver us from doom and if need be (FORCE) us to attain our earthly and heavenly destinies in Jesus name. Good morning.

Did Joseph Become a Prime Minister because of his Righteousness?

“How can I do this evil against my God?” Many preachers have continued to emphasise that it was the righteous act by avoiding to have an affair with Portipha’s wife that eventually led to Joseph becoming a Prime Minister in Egypt. No, it is the fear of the Lord in Him which upturned that temptation. It is different from where God was taking him - his pre-ordained destiny! So, it is not this ‘work’itself otherwise many of us are more disciplined and self-righteous than Joseph. David wasn’t righteous at all but in his weakest position, he had good relationship with God because he feared Him. David fulfilled his destiny in spite of his weaknesses.

If our ‘works’ or ‘self-righteousness were considered exclusively, none of us would have gotten to where we already are in life talkless of fulfilling the greater and better destinies ahead of us.
The writer’s submission is: let us develop good relationship with God. It will become easier for us to do righteous. However, the fulfilment of our earthly and heavenly destinies have been pre-destined (remember Joseph's dream) and will be only achieved by the HIS GRACE obtainable through His unfailing love and mercies. Good morning.

Having Difficulties Arriving At a Decision?

Life is full of choices. Our parents took a decision before we were born. They took a decision whether to send us to or not. We took the decision whether to obey them by excelling or failing out of the school. We take a decision whether to work or not or even become a criminal or not; we take a decision on the career to take to. We decide whether we should marry or not ourselves; whether or not to bring forth children; invest our or waste them; care for our parents or not. Serve God or not. The writer of this post decided to post it!

All these have repercussions on us, good or bad.

Are you having difficulty reaching a decision on any issue, apply Ben Carson's B/W Analysis approach. It is called BEST, WORSE or WORST BEST ANALYSIS.

For instance to marry or not ask yourself,

What is the best thing that will happen to me if I got married?
Ans: I will become responsible; I will have a companion; it is the will of God; I will be able to produce children named after me; I will be able saved from sexual temptations. At old age, I will my children will cater for me.

What is the worst thing that can happen to me?

I will take on more responsibilities directly or indirectly (higher feeding, dealing with extended family challenges, faced with challenges of parenting. If my wife is incompatible with me, then I am in trouble for the rest of my life. If I divorce her, my life will never remain the same; I must provide for my family compulsorily; Even if we are compatible, we may face some unpleasant challenges such that we have to tolerate ourselves if not our relationship will pack up; and so on. If I marry inter-tribally, my wife might not settle in my village at my old age.

If I don't marry at all what is the best thing to happen to me:

Ans. I have ONLY to myself, maybe my parents, siblings and extended families and community, If I so desire, to cater for So no less stress for me.

If I don't marry at all what is the worst thing that can happen to me
Loneliness at old age. Appear irresponsible in my active days and my life may be miserable because I have no companion. I will likely frolic around women to satisfy my sexual urges, through that produce children that will become problems to my society.

Then take a decision. Whatever decision you arrive at, those things you forsee will be waiting for you as you journey through life. As they arise, you prepare for their solutions. Don't ever take any decision without considering the B/W Analysis. That's what Ben Cars, a reknowned international Neurosurgeon uses even to take decisions on whether or not to cary out brain surgery on all his patients. He adds prayers. And they have resulted in his success! Good morning.

There's No Blissful Marriage!

Spinsters & Bachelors, I know you are anxious to get married!  You've spotted that 'angelic' spirit-filled man or woman of God.  Day and night you dream of him or her!  Indeed nothing is sweeter than him or her in your life anymore!  Your marriage will be 'blissful'! 

Good thinking!  Let me first advise you that MARRIAGE itself is only but a NECESSARY RISK.  Whether there's a blissful marriage or not, ask those who are already in it. Read the newspapers, surf  the (visit http://www.onlinedivorce.com/ ) for statistics, go to the law courts for details of past/ongoing divorce cases.  Above all, ask our wise King Solomon what led him to 700/300 wife/concubineship!

Why is there no blissful marriage? It is so because every marriage is like a voyage in the ocean, some portions of the oceans are peaceful, some turbulent.  Every marriage must pass through its own wilderness where there are mannas, serpents, valleys, mountains, swamp, desserts and thick forests etc. Sometimes, water must come out of the rocks to continue in relationship!  Only those who are prepared for these challenges will succeed in it!  Want yours to succeed?  Order your copy of my books: "Now That You Are Married, Make It Work"  and for singles: "This Think Called Marriage"

Good morning.

Be Persistent in Your Struggles

1. “Eli, Eli,* lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”*  Jesus Christ!  Matt.  27:45; 2. And then, though it is against the law, I will go in to see the king. If I must die, I must die.” Esther 4:16. "But again Elisha replied, “As surely as the Lord lives and you yourself live, I will never leave you.” II Kingas 2:6. All these people, with persistence, achieved their goals.

Victory is not always attained when we still have some energies left in us otherwise we'll trust in our strength. It is attained at the very point where our ALL energies are SAPPED and we bother less about whatever happens to our lives It is painful but such is life. So be persistent in your struggles until you attain your POSITIVE goals. Where your power ends, God powers will take over. Then you will value His awesomeness. Good morning.

Want's to Go Just Like That? No, Please Don't!

Dear Subscriber,


Let's reason together! God gave us the manuals of our lives to read - The Bible.  It is guiding our lives today. Some other faiths have theirs too.

Other great authors like William Shakespeare left their own footprints in the sands of time through writing books; some more people e.g. Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Ben Carson, Bill Clinton, are leaving their own now for generations yet unborn to learn from. The writer of this blog has written 8 books (the first of which is his autobiography) and is still writing, and intends to write many more - just to better the society.

America made the advancement it made through preservation of ideas for generations to come. India and China are doing so today. Indeed, do you know that they have surpassed America?

What are you going to leave behind for the generations to come? Start with the documentation of your own history then write something about what you know about your chosen profession for others to read. Don't be selfish, don't come to this world quietly and go just like that! Leave something. Advance knowledge in whatever you know best to do. Document them! Good morning. For my other blogsites on marriage, wealth creation, etc,  (please click here) and remember to share them with your loved ones too!

That We'll All Die of Something

According to Ben Carson in his book "Take The Risk", p. 61 the odds that we will die of something  at some point in our lives is in a ratio of 1:1. This is because the risks are just too many around us.  Let's consider the ratios of our dying of the following risks:

Cancer: 1 in 500
Drowning: 1 in 50,000
Riding your bicycle: 1 in 130,000
N ieplNW XEah ` in 1:250,000
In your bathtub: 1 in 1,000,000
Falling out of bed: 1 in 2,000,000
Freezing to death 1 in  3,000,000
Struck by lightning (if you are a man) 1 in 2,000,000
                            (if you are  a woman) 1 in 10,000,000
Rabies (in the US): 1 in 100,000,000
A foreign object inadvertently left in your body during surgery 1 in 80,000,000, (far lower in Nigeria!)
A falling meteror roughly 1 in 5,000,000
Schacharin sweetner is dangerous but the same volume of sugar for sweetening is more dangerous!
Aspirin causes stomach ulcers, yet we are advised to take aspirin to avoid stroke
The process of giving birth to a child by a woman is one of the riskiest of of all risks because the woman dies, then the baby comes out of her, then she comes to life again Yet women will always opt for pregnancy!  (my own addition)

So whichever way we tilt, there's danger, it is simply a matter of being knowledgeable enough to consider their level of severity and whether we can tolerate them or not.  So, again, whether we like it or not we all take risks!  Good moni.

Unfailing LOVE of GOD for Nigeria

I did say God loves Nigeria UNCONDITIONALLY AND UNFAILINGLY. Let me prove it:
1.  We got our independence on the platter of Gold.
2.  We went through civil war and came back as one
3.  Remember June 12?  We came out of the quagmire unwounded.
4.  Niger Delta problem, you think it's ordinary that both the genuinely aggrieved people
       (And some disgruntled elements too) are surrendering their weapons?
5.  God gave us so enormous resources that we've tapped only one  of them (oil) and the rest are there waiting for us to harness,
6.  The more of our resources that are stolen, the wealthier as a nation we become!
These and many more must be amazing to discerning hearts.
Now ASUU is calling off its strike!
They're not ordinary, they are God's unfailing love for this country called NIGERIA.
Then you ask me: why are we still suffering?  I asssure you it will soon be over.
That same unfailing love of God will soon deliver us and without any bloodshed whatsoever.
How?  I don't know but I believe that He who has helped us this far will is capable of oppressing our oppressors and will do so soonest!  Our size or ethnic composition have never been our problems.  Our problem has been bad leadership so Nigeria will never break up because there's just no need for it. Instead God will break up our opperessors!  Good morning.

What Is Nigeria Celebrating?

If are appraising Nigeria by looking at power failure, bad roads, kidnappings, robbery attacks, and all forms of corruptions, we would be sorrowful. But instead, let's appreciate God and  look beyond those vices and trust and that with time, prayers and practical efforts, they will all fade away.  

So, what we are celebrating are:

1.   The Unfailing LOVE of GOD that has held us together
2.   Unity in diversity - that we see beyond our problems
3.   The hope of a better tomorrow - that with God on our side, our oppressors will one day, which is very near, our oppressors shall be oppressed themselves. Happy celebrations!

PLANT NOW!

We are all responding to meltdown in different ways.  I know everybody is scared of the stock market now. Those who had their monies trapped in Wonder Banks investments will not want to remember that for now.  Bank savings or loans are not encouraging either.  So there's confusion everywhere.  Inside this confusion, I see great hope.  If you still have some money you want to invest, though it may sound foolish, but I bet you this is the best time to invest in the stock market!
Secondly this is the best time for you to think hard on creating multiple-streams of incomes.  When lack of power supply is driving bigger conglomerates out of Nigeria?  Yes, NEPA is a major factor but its absence cannot successfully block our resoning faculties such that we can think alternative!

Farming is one of the best alternatives to paid employment today, especially backyard one. 
Why not give it a trial?  Late September to November ending is the best planting season in the Southern parts of Nigeria.  Therefore find out what you intend to plant and plant now for you to be able to harvest something good in 2010.  Happy Independence! Good morning.
