HOW BIG IS IT? HOW SPECIAL IS YOUR REQUEST?




Do you that over 100 billion neurons of the brain form the main control center of the body only? Do you that no one knows for sure how many animal species exist on earth? Though, in 2011, scientist indicated that there were about 8.7 million known species of animals on earth while some 10 thousands species are discovered every year. Do you know that the world population currently stands at 7.3 billion?
All things bright and wonderful, all creatures great and small, the lord God made them all in their great numbers! He single handedly destroyed a legion of army without raising a sword. He was the one who replaced eye balls without any surgical instrument. He decided to raise multitude of soldiers from dry dead bones. He even decided to make a sea divided in order to make a path in it.  
Do you know that thousands call on him per second all over the world and He still hears them all? Do you know that it took him just 6 days to have in existence the water, the land mass, the air, the elements, the animals and even man?
Is there any limitation to what this mysterious God can do? He has done so much that He got names for each line of wonders (Jehovah Nissi…Victorious God, Jireh…Provider God etc.). Is there anything impossible for God to do?  
In 2010, according to Pew report, about 2.2 billion were Christians. Amazedly, if all call on the names of God at the same time, He can choose to hear them all! Little wonder the Yorubas call him abeti lukara bi ajere (God with multitude of ears over His body).
Though there is no searching of His understanding, but some things are known about God, He honours His words. Which means that if He says, He will do! He is trustworthy. Are you expectant to receive from Him? Your expectations will not be cut short. Do you have a court case and it seemed you are cheated already? He will turn the situation around to favour you. No disease can disobey His words. For His words are angels if only you will speak to the situation.
How big is your problem, I bet it cannot be bigger than His word! Your situation is just another example of the solved cases that waited on God. The world awaits your testimony and you will testify. Amen!

Election Goodie Chain



It is hard not to talk about it these days. Election stories is probably the most interesting stories and news you hear these days; on the electronic media (radio & TV), social media, tabloids, you get to hear propaganda, promises, advertisement, debate, campaigns and a whole lot about INEC.
Here in Oyo state, there is nothing more interesting to the younger minds than the political arena. Not even football nor internet business nor how to make money as everything is tied to who get that position or occupy that space. The fact of the matter is that almost everything is in a state of inactivity; contracts are neglected waiting for who to occupy that position, employment opportunities are waiting, school admission are waiting, even some private business owners have put a stop to transactions, either because they travelled only waiting until after election or for some other reasons.
Parties or no parties, we have roles to play in this election (or electioneering process) one way or the other. May be you are not the Mike Tyson with a cutlass or gun who can steal the pollen unit, or fight passionately for your candidate, may be you are not that controversial pastor, who can declare vehemently his/her support for a candidate, may be you are even the partisan type, who only follows the party’s activity gently without causing any problem to the opposition or you are the type who love writing and therefore not afraid of expressing your opinion on the social media for others to gain and learn or you are one of such people who have considered yourself too old to be part of this election. To cut the story short, one way or the other, we have been influenced by our decision about this election.
These are some facts, now the truth. If your candidate wins, he will consider himself first! His immediate family second or his godfather before considering his extended family, his friend, well wishers and his party members before considering the nation; the largest proportion of the people who voted him/her into power.
What is your exact position in the goody chain? Change or no change, if you are not the one contesting, then the closest you can get in the goody chain is to be an immediate family member or an important godfather without whom the election would not have been successful and therefore must have had a covenant with the election candidate of his choice before the election on the list of benefits that will be accrued to you! Yeah, you will benefit greatly, it will pay you better than others.
However, is that the best you can get? One need to weigh out the risk /reward ratio (RRR), what percent of one’s effort or resources is needed to get to get a certain profit? Does the reward worth the risk? If I hack down this opposition candidate with my cutlass, does it worth the risk?
We are all risking something taking that action or inaction as the case may be. Am not sure how profitable this election is to you but am certain of this fact. There is no better transaction than this; that a man would lay his life for his friends, for we stand to gain 100% with miniature efforts.  Election would come and go, peace would come and go, wars will come and go and even the earth would pass away but we would all give account of that spirit, that breath of life because it was freely given to us.
On that day, when it is your turn to be weighed, when there is no longer any opportunity to be preached to, when you can no longer give a valid excuse, what will your scale weighs? Zero Kg or 100%? Somebody paid the price bro., why not take advantage of this, you have little to lose other than that pride, those old friends, that fleeting pleasure and that habit. There is no better time to take that action than now. Accept Jesus as your lord and personal savior! Take advantage of the 99.9% RRR. Choose life and live!
