WORD FOR TODAY

LOVE PART 1

One of the most beautiful thing that God gave man is Love. Some of us will agree, some may decline. But Understanding Love in a different realm will truly show you the beauty of Love. 
I have and I am experiencing a wholeness of Love from him that brings so much Joy  this morning, Not because he loves me more or Loves me less but that his Love abounds in all that surrounds me. He loves me, he has given me amazing friends who are there when i need them, he has given sufficient needs to homes,he has given true love to friends who are finally heading to the alter, he has given beautiful careers and academics to friends and he has given me love. This is the Love I see.
love is not about all the haves and the haves not, it is the Joy of sharing in the happiness of others , it is letting your friend or brother's happiness be important to you. Love is not about yourself is about the next person putting a smile on faces
Love is Sacrificial, sacrifice that the other may never understand Just like the Almighty sacrificed his son which the world is yet to understand.
Love is an image of the Almighty. Everyman should posses Love in their heart to brighten each day like the morning sun. Love gives courage. When you have love in you, True love will find you.

God is Love, Love is God.

I love you all, Have a Fine Weekend

UK COLUMNIST RAISES CONTROVERSY ABOUT GOD AND EBOLA

Michelle Hanson, a UK Guardian columnist wrote this article, she tried to question the existence of God on why God could save two Americans from Ebola and leave another 1,200 Africans die of the same Ebola virus. The writer, said she gave up on God many years ago. Read the article below...

"Lucky Dr Kent Brantly, the American doctor who has recovered from Ebola, having been given a dose of the experimental antibody serum Zmapp, whizzed home to the US, and given another dose. He is now thanking God for saving his life. Through the medical team and drugs, he admits, but ultimately, it seems, God was in charge. And he chose Brantly, not the other 1,200 mainly west African people who have died horribly, which seems a bit picky." Continue...

WORD FOR TODAY

The season of failure is the best time for sowing seeds of success. Paramahansa Yogananda.
When i read this quote all i imagined was the flowers above(pictured above) dying out. All the things I thought were good suddenly dies out and i have to start all over again, it is totally a devastating state of mind.

In life, a season of failure must come marital failure, financial failure,etc that is certain, if we stay stuck in failure is our choice. It is very possible to rise above failure, if you can retract your step and find out what went wrong.
It is okay to cry, feel angry and devastated when things go wrong but we cannot wallow in them and suppress ourselves to depression, we need to get back on our feet and make it right.
I believe everything is for a reason, see a season of failure as a time for the Almighty to manifest in those challenges, it is a season for His Glory to shine Through You. He is always with us(Emmanuel) even in our seasons of failure but we must believe, and not give up, pray and work hard. It may take months, years or days for your success season to arrive but it will surely come if you believe and surrender it all.
When a plants die out what does a farmer do, he clears his land of the dead crops and weeds, and tills the land afresh to begin a new planting season.

The plants are dead, lets us prepare for another planting season. May God bless our Lands to bring forth good fruit.

I leave you with Proverbs 3:5-7

NEW MAP FOR NIGERIA AS PROPOSED BY CONFAB

The National Confab in July made recommendations for the Nigerian states which was 36 to be increased to 54 by adding 18 more states to the Nation. Above is a copy of  the would be Nigerian map if the states are created.

The new states proposed by the conference are: Aba, to be carved out of the present Abia State; Katagum, from Bauchi State; Ijebu, from Ogun State; Amana, from former Sardauna Province; Apa, from Benue State; Anioma, from Delta State, Savannah, from Borno State; and Etiti, from South-East.

Njaba/Anim, from Anambra and Imo states; Gurara, from Kaduna State; Ghari, from Kano State; Adada from Enugu State, New Oyo from Oyo State; Orachi, from Rivers State; Ogoja, from Cross River State; and Kainji, from Kebbi and Niger states Ose state from Edo, Edu from Niger.

The Closing ceremony will take place tomorrow 21st August.

As a country with only 36 states we have so much trouble with tribalism and disagreements with regions and borders even with those in the same zone. Is the creation of these new 18 states, expected to bind us or separate? I believe the confab were sleeping when they passed this as a recommendation. Having said this it is still up to us to decide.

Nigerians do you want more States?
