Time and chance

Ecclesiastes 9:11 “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all”.

In the passage of life, we will experience the good, the bad and the downright ugly. We will pass through the proverbial eye of the needle, we will also experience breakthroughs and marvelous testimonies. Life is about highs and lows, curves and straight roads, valleys and mountains, hell and hills.

Why is God silent? - By Victoria Ijeoma Agomuo

I changed my position from sitting on the floor to lying face down. It had to be the position. I waited for minutes that seemed like hours. This thing doesn't seem to be working for me. Massive book shelves loomed over me silently , their contents penned by God's generals and spiritual giants like John G Lake, Kenneth Hagin, Smith Wigglesworth, A W Tozer, Derek Prince, Andrew Murray, Charles Finney, Kathryn Kulhman, Maria woodworth Etter and many more seemed to be mocking my failure.

Let your light shine - By Ifeanyi Chukwujekwu

Everyone has talent,
It must not be music, sport, or art.

So don't you ever relent,
Seeking out what you're good at.

It may not be audible or visual,
And could be subtle, unlike the usual.

Discover the reason you were made,
Uncover your light and step out of the shade.
Let it shine bright and never fade.

Faithful, Merciful, Just God - By Ifeanyi Chukwujekwu

He is sure to keep His covenant

Though our commitment is sometimes itinerant

His mercy seems quite tolerant

But let no one be deceived

On that day each one's judgement will be received

So let's commit our lives to Him

Our Saviour who gave His life to redeem

Morning Glory (March 5th 2017) - Work the Dream

Have faith - claim your victory by Ifeanyi Chukwujekwu

Victory is sure
So hold on and endure

Though He may delay

Do not dismay
He is making a way

So when we emerge victorious

We would not be oblivious
Of His saving power so obvious

Overcoming life's challenges

2 Kings 7:1-4 

1Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. 

2Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

3And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die? 

4If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

In life we face challenges of varying degrees and characteristics. Sometimes we go through the fire and other times through the water, sometimes through the valley, other times through the desert. Life itself is a challenge and we as children of the most-high God must face those challenges with knowledge, wisdom, vigour and grace.

Move with your vision - By Ifeanyi Chukwujekwu

He has placed within you, a vision
Perhaps bigger than your wildest imagination

See that you set out on this mission.
Don't get stuck in indecision,
Thinking you lack the qualification.

He who sent you has made provision
So keep moving, stay in motion
With the seal of God's commission

The Church and Unity - by Victoria Ijeoma Agomuo

One tailor insulted my mom because she was upset he didn't finish her cloth as at when agreed. Mom came home that day livid and almost breathing fire. She was so upset she didn't talk to anyone so we all knew whatever transpired between her and the tailor must have been really ugly. 'Essy!' (Pet form for Esther) ishi n'ogini mere?' (What did you say happened?) My dad called her into the 'other room' and the discussion of the event didn't last long. Next thing we knew dad was dressed up in trousers, shirt and a mighty frown of fury. Some tailor nearby was in for it. To cut the gist, my dad didn't engage the guy in a fight of words or fists, he just got the police to do the job for him. It wasn't long before the tailor started tendering unreserved apologies to my mom. Never insult a man's wife, you would be forcing him to display the rough side of his masculinity.
