So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. Romans 9:16

If Somebody Tells You - Arch. Chris Omeben
"If Somebody tells you
Pack up all your sorrows
And lay them all on me
What will be your answer
Won't you run to the caller
and lay your burdens on Him

The God Factor
Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased
in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Often times many attribute
their blessings to the "God Factor". Some believe it, others deride
it and some are somewhere in-between. I believe in the God factor! It is the
grace of God in the life of a person that makes that person excel. Jesus had
the God Factor as mentioned in Luke 2:52 above. Favour with God and men that
made him exceptional in all aspects of his life from a little child till the
end of his ministry.

My Alma Mater
Last week I was in Enugu and decided to visit my alma mater, University of Nigeria Enugu Campus (UNEC). Right from the gate, the school was different as expected, from the one I left 17 years ago. The uncompleted gate house and bad road therein was not welcoming. On getting to my former hostel which was the raison d'etre I went to the school, I found out that Mariere Hall, the seat of power, had become a female hostel!! My heart sank. I could not imagine this happening when we were at UNEC. But I was in for a greater shock! On enquiry, it turns out only Kenneth Dike and Mbonu Ojike are male hostels and the rest are now female. I was told the hostel allocation is a reflection of the ratio of female to male students in the school now. According to the three students I spoke with, there are now more female students in the school.
Inner Harmony
and attain inner harmony
Fleshy eyes must be rendered blind
To all Illusions
And canal promptings
Then thy soul
Into light
will plunge"

Miracles in the wind - By Bishop Sam Chidoka
A few years ago my uncle moved in with us after relocating from
Enugu to Lagos. This uncle of mine had a medical challenge that led to
epileptic fits from time to time and hence needed to have people around him
always. A few years down the line, he decided to move to an apartment of his
own, all appeals to him to stay with us fell on deaf eyes. His elder brother
who was in Enugu at the time, intervened and pleaded for some time to send him
a caregiver but he turned down the offer and proceeded to his own apartment. On
a faithful cloudy morning, we received news from his neighbours that he had
been “ill” all night and they struggled to manage him until day break when they
could send for us. Usually after the fit, he would get up and carry on like nothing
happened but on this day he couldn’t get up, he was dead on arrival at the
hospital, his miracle in the wind was no more.
