A New Nigerian

As we celebrate our democracy today, with high hopes of a better Nigeria, I will like to shift our focus a little from those in authority to us that are being governed. We as followers should take up our responsibility. We should do what's right. Do it because it's right, then Do it right. We should have a change of attitude and ensure that we ourselves are agents of change and transformation anywhere we found ourselves. We must be willing to obey authorities and laid down laws and ordinances. We should pay our tax and bills as at when due. We should love ourselves regardless of tribe and ethnicity. If you love me you won't cheat or dupe me, you won't want to steal from me. We should embrace peace for nothing can be built in the time of war. Also, don't let us bad mouth and speak speak evil of our leaders. Give honour to them, reverence them regardless of whom they are because every authority is constituted by God and speaking against them is speaking against God. Let's be correct citizens. And finally, lets pray for those in authority. Our prayer alter is our control room. It's a place where we can determine what we want them to do according to the will of God. As for me I choose to be an Agent of Change and Transformation, I choose to be a blessing to Nigeria, I choose to work towards seeing a better Nigeria that I and my children and their children will be proud of. I therefore pledge to Nigeria my country to be faithful loyal and true, to serve Nigeria with all my heart, to defend her unity and uphold her honour and glory. So help me God.
I am the new Nigeria.

House of Leaders or Warlords

As I ruminate on the ugly incidences that bewildered Benue House of assembly and the House of Representatives this outgoing week where law makers engaged in a free for all, I nodded my head in utmost dismay of what has become of the people we chose to lead us and make laws for us. This is not the first time we will be seeing something of such but every time it occurs it leaves a negative impression of incompetence, immaturity, clueless and law-less law makers on the heart of Nigerians and people all over the world watching.  I'm not a political analyst neither do I want to become one but i'm an advocate of good 'leaders-in-a-ship' and I believe that what the nation deserves at this time is a way forward from where we are not engaging in blow throwing and cloth tearing. Leadership is not by occupying position, that is, you are not a leader by being in an office or by holding a post. Leadership is all about influence. Its all about the ability to transform a vi...

God's Got You

I was on a trip recently and we drove into a difficult terrain. The driver did well by maneuvering the terrain well and got us safely out of it. However, during this drifting, I doubted his professionalism to get us out safely, in fact I panicked, I gave my opinions and advise based on my experience of driving. Unfortunately, my driver will do the opposite, stating reasons why my counsel will not work and truthfully, his judgement always proves to be right and at the end he drove us safely to our destination. This experience got me to think of how many times we have given God our thoughts and advice on what he should do or should have done. We tell him the direction we feel is right for us to go and at times drag the steering with Him. God is to be trusted. The moment you make him the driver of your life, you can trust him to take you safely to a glorious destination. The terrain may be difficult, He might drive you through surprising and difficult places, just hold on and trust him. H...

Jehovah Huperekperissou

R ecently I was believing God for financial provisions which were very huge. Having understood the fundamentals of faith, I gathered scriptures upon which my faith can stand.  In the process of time, I stumbled upon a particular scripture that seems to be new to me in the scriptures, in fact, I thought my Bible was updated. It is Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him, that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, The fire phrase is " exceeding abundantly " and in the Greek language means Huperekperissou .  Huperekperissou is a combination of three words actually;  Huper meaning above ek meaning an idea of exhaustlessness, and  Perrisos which means exceeding some number or measure, over and above, more than necessary Together Huperekperissou means  superabundantly, surpassingly, beyond measure, exceedingly, quite beyond all measure, overwhelming, over and above, more ...
