Rejection is a bitter thing when it comes from those we expect more from!
A long time ago,a friend told me that the path to greatness is a lonely one,one thing he did not say was it would be littered with rejection.
When we run to those we presume closest to us and the throw it back at us,it hurts pretty bad. There is nothing like it!
Doing business in Nigeria is hard but doing business in a doubt stricken and mediocre minded society is harder. I have never seen a place littered with doubt like Nigeria yet I make bold to say:not even the church is left out.
There is a philosophy I call agreeing in principle but completely objecting in practice. When people accept the letters of a contract without standing by the details,we say you are inconsistent.
The nature of rejection in the church is wide spread. When Jesus said if you are rejected,don't be surprised cos I was rejected too,many of us would think it was restricted to preaching on the street. Anyway I assure you rejection is in every regard.
When God ask you to do a thing,I noticed that the first trial is doubt and rejection by the people around you;if you don't believe ask Noah,Moses,Joseph, Jesus etc.
There is a long list of persons rejected cos they seek to birth a vision. My friend,you are no exception.
In fact what I learnt is that a time of rejection is a time for sober reflection,a time when you learn to trust God and him alone.
Rejection makes you ask question that have no answer,you'll ask why lord? Why me? Why can't they see? Anyway if what you seek to do is unique and a revelation,then you can be sure that it takes a few to see what you see by divine revelation.
The benefits of rejection are inherent in the character of doggedness formed in us afterwards. The bible says if you fail in the days of adversity then your strength is small. Rejection is a clear signal that you need ONLY GOD.
Until people's yes and no means nothing to you,you are not ready to pursue a dream. My friend would say your waiting would weary your enemy. We have to get to a point where an inner voice assures us of the positivity of what we seek to achieve. What I have learnt doing business is that the voice of one can be the voice of God. Majority is a sign of mediocre. The cheapest option is almost never that best answer to birthing vision. There are no short cuts. Vision is birth in pain. Pain is a prerequisite for achieving the extra ordinary. You cannot birth a dream without character and character is forged in the furnace of affliction. Patience,tenacity,perseverance and faith determine the outcome of your pursuit. All this character traits are formed at the point of rejection or the dream dies with the dreamer.
This is what I have discovered,that when you are rejected,dust your feet and MOVE! From business to love relationship,keep MOVING at the point of rejection. Forget who walked away so long as you know what you made of. Let heaven fall but stay focused. Life is a teacher. The people who left you would seek you when the time is right.
The benefits of rejection are best understood when you understand that separation is the key to revelation.
We cannot know beyond focus. Knowledge and understanding comes from a calmness of the soul which is best attained when you are striped off what you thought you had;hence rejection births your next level.
We need to deal with rejection and master the sober moments that precedes rejection. Let the hurt go and receive the newness of reason. Seek that which can aid your fulfilment of vision cos your best is revealed in solitude.
Have a happy comeback.

Dont Quit
You quit too soon;you loose too soon...this August,DON'T QUIT. Baby steps produce GIANT strides. The most complex obstacle you have to face is you;hence you're your own DELAY. GOD meets MAN at his point of FAITH. Change the environment to alter results. Your DECISION determine DESTINY. The BATTLE starts& end with you .Your DESTINY is secured in GOD but its in your hands. Wrong DECISION is better than INDECISION. GOD is the only CONSTANT in all SUCESS story. Decide Early.

Sucess Quote
The security of sucess is anchored on the integrity of the character/principles of God. (Vision,Decision,Desire,Planning,Perseverance,Patience,Hardwork,People,Hope and Control)
LOOSE IT...FOR GOD SAKE
The sin of self.
God said my glory will I share with no man.
In the bible,there a story of King David praising God to the point of going naked: David had just returned from war,he was so overwhelmed that he danced his life out to the point of loosing it for God and in that process,he lost his garment!
Amazed by the seemingly reckless show of excitement,his wife spoke up and cried out in shame..oh david,that you would remember you are king!
You know the rest of the story. God was so vexed he caused the lady.
The fundamental crime she committed was identifying David's class above Gods deserve of worship. David lost it for God,he stepped away from what we define as style and threw his hands and cloths in the air to praise God.
How often we focus on ourselves at the expense of God. How important I have become. I am fashionable and I got class. Wake up dear friend,have you lost your mind? How long shall we live in denial of who's the boss.
Since when did you become so important to the point that you are so consumed with self and what people think to the point of ignoring what God thinks.
If God raised you up and he can put you down,then he can put you down if he has no place in your being up.
God is not worried about your sucess,its how you carry the success that bothers him.
In Deuteronomy 8v10-19 God said less when you have entered the land I promised your fathers and you have planted a vine yard and you have fed and your soul is made fat and you say I and I alone have done this then the lord would strike you.
God still strikes today. This is a call to humility. Loose it for God. Let him feel you hold nothing back from him. Make time for him #Nomatterewhat! God inhabits the praise of his people. Praise him with your life. Its said that abuse is inevitable when purpose is misunderstood.
From your seeming sucess to your obvious beauty. Let nothing consume you but gratitude. Walk through life as though you know what you have is not your but Gods. Life is a gift;loosing it for God is the best way to keep it and live full.
Enjoy!

I am SAVED
21st Oct 1993.
This day about 7pm 18yrs ago. I was walking back from dinning hall in Federal Govt Coll Ugwolawo. Kogi State. I was in company of one Enemaku Adukwu. Behind the then Uredo house senior hostel;I was stopped by one David Adejoh. He was my senior by one year,a strong member of FCS. He preached to us,I accepted Jesus as my lord and saviour.
I was born into a christian home,I got born again many times in sunday school at Fourspuare Gospel Church Idah Kogi State. Sister Racheal was my teacher,everytime she told us a story of hell as kids,the next thing was an alter call and all the class would run forward. At home we prayed daily,morning and night,with support memory verse,to be recited on Saturday and I was so poor at remembering chapters and verses so dad would always run me down while Victor(my younger brother) could remember anything so long as it was from a book.I never had a day I could call the day I got saved till this day 21st Oct 1993.
18 years down the line and I can tell you that making that decision that day marked the beginning of my journey. Its been tough as I rise and fall and I rise again. One thing I must say is I am still standing.
Walking with God is best appreciated when you look at the journey not the events. Holistically I would say God has been faithful. I have never been able to ignore God. I have struggles but I always keep trying to work out my salvation with fear and trembling.
So to David Adejoh and everyone that care to speak about Jesus even when it seems like everyone has heard the message already;I say thank you and thank God for the courage to speak.
A seed may look small but plant it in the right environment and you'll be amazed what it becomes. I am a seed. I walk on water. I am a promise kept. I live cos God lives. I am not ashamed to say I fell but am standing again. I believe God is in this business call me.
My friend,don't take for granted your journey of faith. It look small but its worth it. Keep inching closer to where you were forged out from...God.
Remember the day you were called and bless him that called thee. If you have not made a decision,today is another day. Whisper under your breath,Lord Jesus,I believe. Come into my life and be Lord of all. I repent of my sins oh God. I need you always...Amen!

Dear Sin
Last week,on my way to work,I saw you at the junction.
Yesterday I was told you call but I was not on seat.
I just got your mail requesting an audience with me later today.
You try so hard.
I can imagine how you feel not seeing me for so long.
I have been busy. I work late nowadays.
I changed Job/friends hence I no longer visit your neighbourhood.
You said in your mail you needed to return my belongings with you;keep it.I won't be needing them anymore.
Tell your friend(Temptation) I have moved on.
I have new friends called sober and vigilance and we hangout at House of Pray.
Inform doubt I said I believe faith would see me through on the new job.
Finally,I have dominion and it works. It comes with a 66 chapter manual. In fact a lot is said about you and temptation.(You seem popular) I spend a lot of time studying with faith. She's growing as we study.
Anyway don't let me bore you. Greetings to your parents. Tell then I now know more so won't be needing their counsel anymore.
Bye
Your Old friend.

Oh Naomi
Time is never late....Oh Naomi.
What you seek shall come.
Give attention to vision.
The clanging of cymbals shall cease.
The colours would fade!
The days would cease!
Oh Naomi,that you would see beyond sight.
Deep are the detail of man.
Seek....Naomi. Seek.
Choose the way of worship.
Seek wisdom from the Lord.
Time is short but life is more.
Oh Naomi. Give God his place.
Weary are the days of a vain damsel.
She shall dig up rot in pursuit of happiness.
Many are the ways of a man.
Only God reveals.
A husband is just the beginning.
Wait on the Lord!

Oh Mother!
Oh mother! How I recall!
Every sacrifice made to grow me!
Every word said to teach me.
Every night shared to care!
Your place no one can fill.
That son is a man!
Oh mother!
The pride of your youth,the fruit of your womb. The head of another.
She's cloth in elegance and style.
Enveloped in the beauty of her youth.
Her breast soothes me when yours fail.
I delight in her vitreous fellowship.
She is the woman of my youth.
Oh mother! She is my wife!
The glory of my crown.
The future she shall birth!
Rejoice with me.
I have made a choice that endures.
A wife for a mother;mother for a wife.
Peace! Its possible.

Wife Role
Place/Role of a wife!
To understand the use of a wife,you just have to look @ what she's not meant for.
She's NOT:
1. A sex toy.
2. A cook.
3. A laundry machine.
4. A nanny.
5. A baby making machine.
6. A cleaner
7. A dish washer.
8. A punching bag.
9. A family scapegoat.
10. A shopping assistant.
11. A yam pounder.
12. A house maid
Footnote:
A wife in the final analysis is a COMPANION. You walk through life with her achieving a vision that reflects the interest of each other. If the best you achieve with your wife is any of the above;then you are a cheap man.
The success of every relationship is anchored on the understanding of the place of each party in the said relationship.
Abuse emanates from lack of understanding of purpose.
The value you place on your partner determines what you'll become.
There's no perfect woman or man. Just 2 people leaning on each other while they make a journey for good.
You're only as good as your spouse.
Be sincere,be open to change. Learn from your mistakes. Admit when you're wrong. There's no blue print for being married.
Each is unique,so is the marriage.
Your best adviser/teammate on marriage is each other; cos you have all the facts.
The strongest man never have the last say.
Always begin with thank you or am sorry.
Its ok she see you cry cos she's all you've got.
Pray together...Always.
The list of what a wife is not is endless. Kindly add.

When was the last time you got something special for your wife;NOT SEX.
A sour relationship begins with neglect of little thing.
Every day you ignore little things,either as a man or a lady,you dig a hole for what's left of your relationship.
In principle,we all agree that family is the most important thing to us but in reality,how we handle little things that concerns our family reveals that we really don't understand what matter to family.
You missed a birthday or anniversary,a time out with your wife or kids. This seemingly little things form the bedrock for a crack in your relationship.
What matters you ladies NEVER make sense to the men. Her hair,nails,the heel of shoes,the under growth of her hair,her next birthday,what people think,etc. To the man,its unthinkable to worry about this things when the economy of Nigeria need be fixed. However,I have learnt that the economy starts with the happiness of your wife and kids. Fixing a bigger problem starts with fixing a smaller problem.
Similarly,men have unique needs; we love cars,success,power,show off our wives. Men celebrates women that celebrate their little success hence the secretary that adores him always gets his best over a wife that nags always.
Its a mistery we can never understand but little things count.
Men and women alike need little thing to feel fulfilled.
Building a viable relationship starts with identifying the solutions are always simple.
For example,when was the last time you planned a dinner date for your wife or husband? When was the last time you visited her parents without her knowledge. When was the last time you did her laundry while she procrastinates doing it. Loyalty is born out of conviction that he or she has my back. People are loyal to whoever they feel would protect them.
The feeling of protection begins with little things.
Try saying this;honey,do you need anything? Anything at all.
Its makes you feel responsible and the other person feels safe.
Guys,learn to say to your wife;you are beautiful and am glad I have you.
Ladies learn to say to your man;you are my hero and I look up to you.
We have all we need once we look carefully at what we have....each other.
Be comfortable admitting you need to learn more to be better. The arrogance of knowing too much is destructive. Always seek to know and know you will.
By default,show love with little thing even when it don't make sense.
The value of your effort is understood in time.
Life is a journey where small thing count.

The Man: The Lady & His Fears.
I'm a man,strong and afraid.
Not of man nor the levaitan.
Not the storm that rock my boat.
I'm shaken to my marrow.
My days are longer.
My nights grow cold.
I sweat,then I sweat again.
My thoughts make music.
The echo of fear.
Words fail me.
I'm a man in fear of the presence I adore.
I'm a man;words grow cold within.
She calls me man;I grow cold.
Her strength and elegance, power of submission. I'm silenced by wisdom.
I'm a man;my world cave at her presence.
I'm a man in love.

THE REAL DEAL
In life,what you'll have to deal with is always more than what you are afraid of...so quit hesitating and MOVE. The real thing you need to worry about is still ahead. Prophet Elijah was told by God to eat,eat again for the journey is still far. its amazing how we worry about tribe of who to marry when you have to deal with a sick child in future or loosing a family member or divorce. We worry about who's in charge in a relationship that might not exceed another year or fighting a spouse that you might loose in 10 yrs. Imagine the victims of UN bomb blast at Abuja,imagine Mr man fought his wife on a silly issue that morning before leaving home, Imagine she called to say sorry and he refused to pick her call. Imagine the young lady that won't forgive a friend for gossiping,imagine she plans to fight it out after work. Imagine that long tribal analysis on who is best in Nigeria for a job you won't have by this night or a friend you won't be seeing ever again. Review you dealings with everyone; Christians,Muslims,Hausa,Igbo,Yoruba and others...cos after all is said and done,we are just people trying to survive another day. Focus,everyday is a gift. Appreciate life and each other. That might be your last time.
God rules in the affairs of men. We'll account for all to ONE.
Thank you.

SMS Part 2
…..Going, going, going; gone!
Hello how’s life with you? I’m hopeful that we are achieving objectives. I am equally hopeful that we’re making progressive decisions.
Anyway let me quickly give an update of my last encounter with the pretty usher in church.
I went undercover….hahahahaha, I met my usher friend, very friendly I must say but before I met her, I got few details but it was too late. She’s is not available, in fact as we speak, she’s preparing hard.
Here’s my story, I have a friend in church, she called me and bla blab la we went, I did not have the ushers name so I had to describe her, I started by saying, the lady wears good shoes….hahahahah, her hair is always well done, she ushers with style….hahahahaha. Look the description sounded funny. Finally she got the name and said she’s not available. Dissatisfied I asked on another day, are you sure she’s the one? I did not get a quick reply so I went to ask another spiritual sis in church, this time around I had a name so I asked, omg the answer was same….she’s no longer available.
Guys;that was it, I accepted and dealt with it pretty fast. My usher is dating a fine gentle man I must say, very Godly from afar, committed member of this church. He looks like a reliable person in my view and I wish them well.
In the cause of my undercover mission, I discovered that many times we do the right thing the wrong time, we procrastinate a lot on matters that need urgent attention. I took time out to ask a few persons questions about their experiences; it was amazing what I heard. A few ladies I talk to complained about the refusal of the guys to speak up, a particular lady decided to be more forward and on a particular day had to say something nice to a guy she admired in church, she said, after service I noticed he was wearing a lovely shirt so I mentioned “I love your shirt” the guy just walked pass her, she said she was ashamed, she prayed for the ground to open and swallow her up.
For a lady who wanted to make an effort, that was not a good experience, she’s still healing from that experience. Another lady said recently that guys don’t know what it does to a lady when we (Ladies) expect them to say something and they just keep staring. It breaks every wall we (Ladies) put in place. Another lady said she feels funny when a guy just walk past her and look away whereas he was looking at me from afar, only to get close and say nothing.
Guys, wahala dey oh,I never knew ladies feel anything, I see them on six inches heel and with awesome bags and they look almost untouchable, they look like Gods specials, I mean the don’t look don’t touch of Gods program in the church but from all the feeds coming in, I am sorry that’s not how it is, ladies are people, Pastor Tony once said, all the people you see in church are just ordinary people, the have issues and they are just like you. We need to renew our minds about each other. I decided to review my dealings with people, I don’t have an issue with perception, but I guess many of us assume wrongly about each other.
If you don’t speak up, you might never know, if you have a pain or an interest that needs attention, you need to speak to someone, if you like a guy, talk about it, open up, talk to each other. I understand many people don’t seem to want to be embarrassed but you need to understand that no one is going to run you down from trying. In fact you might be better than me in the sense that you might meet your usher single hence you get to get to know her with strings attached.
I have learnt a new lesson, its broken down into two; going and gone. Some people are going, going and going…..meaning that they are yet to decide, that does not mean there’s no guy pressing for the mark of the lower calling in their lives(I mean the love thingy) it simply means they are still looking and studying, if you get to speak up early, you might be the person that bail the cat out of the bag in that you win her heart.
There’s another group like my usher friend called GONE group, they are the people that are not available, when you hear not available please stay away oh. Don’t say there’re NO LIMITS…hahahahaha in this case of my usher, there are limits. Fi le, don’t touch it.
I want to encourage us as a house to be more proactive, not just in issues regarding relationships but in every aspect of our lives, from business to family, to walking with God, being proactive help us not miss the mark of the high calling. Pastor Tony said a few things during the weekly prayer and fasting that we had in the month of June, he said God works in 2 ways, in exodus we saw the finger of God at work, he suspended natural laws to show forth his strength in Egypt un behalf of Israel, whereas in the book of Esther, we saw the hand of God at work in that he directed and orchestrated the deliverance of his people from Hammans ploy to destroy them.
Pastor Tony said God has a monopoly of choice to determine when to use his finger in our lives, however the hand of God is at work everyday, the problem he pointed is we always wait for the finger of God, we want a spectacular miracle, we want him to part the red sea, we want to see him on Ajah or Lekki road like Paul saw him on his way to Damascus.
I learnt that God is directing us daily, we need to listen, draw closer in the place of prayers and you’ll know what to do and when. Back to meeting people in church, you don’t need the finger of God to show you a lady or a guy in church, you need to understand the hand of God has led you to TPH,Helleluya, if you believe it say yeah! (I feel like preaching) When you see a pretty lady, just do it like Nike, No limits like Pastor Tony, when you see a guy or lady you like feel free like airtel to say hi to him or her. Whatever you do, don’t quit like Tdjakes. Always expect more like glo cos life is beautiful.
I pray we find fulfillment in our objectives. I pray that we learn to decide early.
God bless you.
Hello how’s life with you? I’m hopeful that we are achieving objectives. I am equally hopeful that we’re making progressive decisions.
Anyway let me quickly give an update of my last encounter with the pretty usher in church.
I went undercover….hahahahaha, I met my usher friend, very friendly I must say but before I met her, I got few details but it was too late. She’s is not available, in fact as we speak, she’s preparing hard.
Here’s my story, I have a friend in church, she called me and bla blab la we went, I did not have the ushers name so I had to describe her, I started by saying, the lady wears good shoes….hahahahah, her hair is always well done, she ushers with style….hahahahaha. Look the description sounded funny. Finally she got the name and said she’s not available. Dissatisfied I asked on another day, are you sure she’s the one? I did not get a quick reply so I went to ask another spiritual sis in church, this time around I had a name so I asked, omg the answer was same….she’s no longer available.
Guys;that was it, I accepted and dealt with it pretty fast. My usher is dating a fine gentle man I must say, very Godly from afar, committed member of this church. He looks like a reliable person in my view and I wish them well.
In the cause of my undercover mission, I discovered that many times we do the right thing the wrong time, we procrastinate a lot on matters that need urgent attention. I took time out to ask a few persons questions about their experiences; it was amazing what I heard. A few ladies I talk to complained about the refusal of the guys to speak up, a particular lady decided to be more forward and on a particular day had to say something nice to a guy she admired in church, she said, after service I noticed he was wearing a lovely shirt so I mentioned “I love your shirt” the guy just walked pass her, she said she was ashamed, she prayed for the ground to open and swallow her up.
For a lady who wanted to make an effort, that was not a good experience, she’s still healing from that experience. Another lady said recently that guys don’t know what it does to a lady when we (Ladies) expect them to say something and they just keep staring. It breaks every wall we (Ladies) put in place. Another lady said she feels funny when a guy just walk past her and look away whereas he was looking at me from afar, only to get close and say nothing.
Guys, wahala dey oh,I never knew ladies feel anything, I see them on six inches heel and with awesome bags and they look almost untouchable, they look like Gods specials, I mean the don’t look don’t touch of Gods program in the church but from all the feeds coming in, I am sorry that’s not how it is, ladies are people, Pastor Tony once said, all the people you see in church are just ordinary people, the have issues and they are just like you. We need to renew our minds about each other. I decided to review my dealings with people, I don’t have an issue with perception, but I guess many of us assume wrongly about each other.
If you don’t speak up, you might never know, if you have a pain or an interest that needs attention, you need to speak to someone, if you like a guy, talk about it, open up, talk to each other. I understand many people don’t seem to want to be embarrassed but you need to understand that no one is going to run you down from trying.

SMS- Single Male Searching
SINGLE MALE SEARCHING? (SMS)...Lord do something before something do me.
Hey guys, how’s it going? How’s works, business and family for those that have family. Anyway I don’t. Now that’s an issue oh, I literally bore myself lately, I think I finally discovered why God created women, the are very important, I mean very important.
I pursue all this lovely projects/business and as exciting as the get, there’s always this emptiness, I mean imagine coming back home and trying to get some rest and it feels like this house is boring oh. Haba! I should call someone but there’s no one to call.
It got me thinking, how can a man be in TPH yet he’s not married, or seeing anyone? Its either the ladies have a problem or we (Guys) are just not looking.
It got me thinking, friend A,B and C not married, all the big boys are nice and doing pretty well or let me say fair, sound guys but no show. I must confess, we did not see this coming, we just got busy, trying to achieve big dreams, and I must say the dreams are pretty good stuff, we don’t regret but the problem now is its not good for man to be alone.
Look this is to the married people in church, Welldone, I feel the process is so long, the distance between dating and married looks like walking on waters. I however am a firm believer in the fact that good things comes to people who wait. That means I wait, then I shine my eyes.
Meanwhile I don’t want anyone to think I have not tried oh, check out my Cv,I have met a few ladies, some speak too much English, some are career persons, some want to be missionaries,one wanted to be a boxer, some want what the want but in all, I guess its been a journey, I met this lady, we dated and it look like we were going somewhere till she said she could not control me,(Chineke,God forbid bad thing) I said how, she said she wanted a guy who would relocate abroad but I seem not cut of for any abroad runs; that because I have a business in Nigeria and things are looking up pretty well. Well, that one did not work, another lady always said yes, everything I do was good, if I vex she says sorry and knowing who I am,trust me I don’t need that, I am not perfect, am still work in progress, so how can I have the lady in my life concede to anything I do. No way men. Its not good.
I have decided to start looking and hopefully God would open my eyes and show me my own person(Smiles). I would keep correcting anything I need to correct in myself, I would travel less and do the chit chat thing more. I am hopeful that very soon, I would sing it out loud, it is the lords doing and it’s marvelous in my sight.it is the lords doing I would praise him..haleluya....(Sing with me if you know the song)
I was in church recently, I mean the Eko hotel event we had, the one Myles Munro was guest speaker. You know we had a men@work program on Friday and we got some strong words, let me rush through some points,
The place of a man in a home is not on top, its at the bottom, it means we take responsibility, we make things happen, we should be dependable, we are the custodian of the mandate of God in the home, if you were not there, please get the Cd,I advice the ladies to get the Cd too, it pays to know what a good man should be doing. Anyway back to what I was saying, at that event I saw one lady, wao, she’s pretty. She gave me envelop for offering, I almost did not give the offering oh hahahahahhaha. I was turning my neck and looking out for her but it seem this ushers don’t stay in one place.
Am sorry oh but the message is more than words, sometimes God uses a donkey to speak to people, so he can use the ushers or choir or any lady to speak to any man-Shine your eyes. I saw a pretty lady, wao; see her shoes, her hair, skirt, makeup, in fact she was so well dressed I had to ask ( Who be this?) That day I said to myself, there are pretty ladies in TPH and any man that says he’s not seeing them needs PT to lay hands on him oh(Just my view)
I am really optimistic, I have not seen that lady lately, but I would keep attending church for the love of God and other side attractions. I know whom I have believed. That which he has said about me would surely come to pass. Did I hear you say Amen? Hahahahaha.
Guys, we have good people(Ladies) in church, prayerful sister, very polished ladies, sometimes the speak too much English, sometimes they don’t see how good you are but trust me if you wait long enough and work at it, you’ll get the best out of her. No lady is perfect, just like none of us(Guys) is perfect, we all are work in progress, we need to speak up and less I forget, ladies be nice with the phone number thing.
I read sister Janie’s diary and she mentioned the Ankara guy, in fact if you ever meet me in Ankara, please imagine I have a pair of suit at home hahahahahhahaha, just did not feel like the suit thing today. If you see me on Okada, please show some understanding, am working on getting a car. Ladies, try and see us as people, we are lovely people(Guys),we are been built daily by God, the same words you hear and you believe you are changing, we(Guys) hear those words too, God is working it out.
All the best and hope to say more about my usher friend when next am in church and she’s on duty.
God bless.

No Limits
Limiting NO LIMITS:
Hello, have you ever been to church and you heard a message and you felt like bulldozing your way through anything that come, all charged up. Wao! it happened to me but before I go into that let me tell you what another friend in TPH experienced, he was in church and PT went on and on(inspiring sermon), declaring what God was about to do and we went Amen,Amen,all charged up; my friend went out after service and met another guy from church, he was in the same service; the got talking, this my friend runs his own company too, he mentioned to this bro; Meeeen…I feel so positive about my next deal, I would go and face this project and God would see me through and blab bla bla,then the bro from church goes, don’t even bother, that industry is already taken by the big boys. My friend was shocked.
Anyway that was the same thing that happened to me, I was in church and Ndada from South Africa preached a sermon titled NO LIMITS, he went on and on, I was so caught up in the revelation, God was confirming certain things he said to me during the week. I was excited. I came to church with a bro, we were seated together, after service I said to him, this sermon was on point, I am speechless and while I was speaking, he cut in, don’t mind that pastor oh, he’s talking like that because he’s from South Africa, things don’t work like that in Nigeria. I was SHOCKED,I was so upset, I cant imagine how 2 people would attend the same service and come out with2 different perspectives, I cant understand how anyone can hear the message we hear and remain the same.
I went home thinking about the limits we put for ourselves even when God has declared No limits, I am an entrepreneur and I know when its said no limits, it could mean less to the skeptic that don’t know God but I don’t understand how a said believer,a child of God would doubt God, the living God, the one that says yes and no one, I mean no one can say no, would say a thing and we (that claim to believe) say its wont work because the pastor is from South Africa.
Guys, we need to wake up, faith without work is dead, we cannot keep expecting that God would do more than he’s done, he has declared his word, he has announced your arrival, now he says become that which I have called you to be and you say blab bla bla.
No limits mean No limits, I understand some of us have been burnt time and time again but we cannot let that determine our faith in God.
Common guys……its God we are talking about, He is KING over all, Peter went fishing, all night, he caught nothing, then comes Jesus, cast your net into the deep, he(Peter) goes master we have toiled all night yet caught nothing BUT at thy word, the rest you all know, they caught so much fish, their net broke. I am a living witness to the fact that when God decides to change your story, the same place you tried and you were let down, try again and the door would open by itself. There are no limits.
I heard the story of one of the south south governors, I heard he contested the primaries amidst instructions by the party that no one should run against the then governor, he refused to listen, he went ahead, against all odds, after the election, he had 7 votes, obviously he lost. Days after the election, the sitting governor was nominated to run as vice president, time was too short to conduct another primaries so the runner off was asked to fly the flag of the party, the rest is history, he’s currently the governor.7 votes, I mean how bad can it get, 7 silly votes. Many of us are 7 votes away from our destiny, 7 votes away from our dreams being fulfilled. The question remains can we believe again? Can we dare to believe God just one more time because that might just be the 7 votes needed to make you the governor of your dream; so from business to relationships, from a new job to a new house, we must believe again, God has said it and I believe it, that settles it. NO LIMITS guys. I mean it, there are no limits to what we can do, its here, you just need to try again, learn from your mistakes and try again.
You can be all you want to be, you can be a good husband, good father, good investor, good date, good staff, good anything you want to be. Its possible, the bible says behold I set before you an open door that no man can shut. I don’t know about you but I would hold on till something happens, its said that the difference between a failed dream and a successful one is time, time spent planning, waiting and believing. You cannot allow the unpaid rent discourage you, you cannot allow the scandal discourage you, you cannot allow the seemingly failing business dictate to you what God can do.
God is in the business of doing good, he cares even when you don’t feel it, don’t loose the battle on your mind cos that’s the biggest battle, the bible say guard your heart, I mean this, ladies, guys, guard your heart, if the enemy can run you down mentally, he’s done with you; but as God lives, I am so confident that we shall overcome.
No Limits, you need to speak to yourself daily, look in your mirror and say it till you believe it, NO limits. Even when that relationship you prayed for fails, don’t quit trying, just say No limits, even when you loose that promotion, say No limits and even when the banks say no to your loan application, say No limits cos a man is ensnared by the words of his mouth. It simply means your deliverance is in your mouth, the church, the pastors are doing their best, the talk to us every day, the listen, the pray for us, we must go out there and take on the goliaths, it a win win situation, but you cant win when you don’t try. The performance of your goal is tied to effort. I believe baby steps make giant strides. God bless you as you learn to say and do….NO LIMITS.

Fisrt Impression
First impression
It’s a great privilege to be able to write in the TPH review when you have an opportunity. I am excited, not just because I want to contribute but because I want to relay a perspective that I feel might help one or two persons.
Quick one, my name is Godwin, I am a member of TPH, and I’ve been around for about say 7yrs. I am one of those persons that go and go due to work, I am part of a team, we own a business, it’s a very good thing, but the challenges that come with this enable me understand many things about God and thus far it’s been amazing. When I say amazing, I don’t mean every business venture has worked but I mean I have been through a lot yet I can say I am still standing.
In business, we meet all sorts, from good to bad and urgly, we just learn to accommodate and draw the line. Anyway I have this friend, he’s a Christian or let me say he’s a church goer,that means he goes to church but acts lawlessly if you know what I mean, its like a dog eat dog thing for him in business, he can do anything to get anything. Now you have an idea.
He was in Lagos one Sunday morning and he called hey Godwin, I want to visit your church, I said; good… so we went to church, it was the usual thing tph is known for, a continuous attempt to relay the standard called excellence. Everything went well, I was always observing my friend to see if he had any dissatisfied look on his face but nay, he was good through out, PT went on and on(inspiring sermon), the choir did their magic and the ushers showed off with style .I was proud to be a member of TPH.Hahahahahah.
Anyway service ended and we headed home, he (My friend) was quiet……I asked, guy wassup, how was church? He goes: Godwin…Did you hear anything the pastor said; I said yes, he said cos Oboy I no hear anything oh, I never see anything like this before. I asked what? He goes, see LEVELS, see the chicks, how person go fit hear the word of God for this place? We laughed and he said a lot about the ladies and how they look imported and classy and bla bla bla.
As funny as the experience above might seem, it meant a lot to me, it showed that someone could come into church and becomes speechless not because of what we do wrong but because of how well we invest into doing whatever we do as a house.
First impression counts, it’s so important that we keep a high spirit in everything, my encounter with my friend opened my eyes and taught me the need to get better at what I do, I mean everything. We cannot begin to drop standards just because we don’t feel appreciated, in fact I was getting tired of working on myself to be better when God used my friend to teach me that it pays to do better.
We might not feel it but trust me guys, we are making inpact, my friend is now a committed member of a church in Abuja, he now insist on a higher standard and I know on another visit, he’ll not just see the message, he’ll hear it.
God bless you.
It’s a great privilege to be able to write in the TPH review when you have an opportunity. I am excited, not just because I want to contribute but because I want to relay a perspective that I feel might help one or two persons.
Quick one, my name is Godwin, I am a member of TPH, and I’ve been around for about say 7yrs. I am one of those persons that go and go due to work, I am part of a team, we own a business, it’s a very good thing, but the challenges that come with this enable me understand many things about God and thus far it’s been amazing. When I say amazing, I don’t mean every business venture has worked but I mean I have been through a lot yet I can say I am still standing.
In business, we meet all sorts, from good to bad and urgly, we just learn to accommodate and draw the line. Anyway I have this friend, he’s a Christian or let me say he’s a church goer,that means he goes to church but acts lawlessly if you know what I mean, its like a dog eat dog thing for him in business, he can do anything to get anything. Now you have an idea.
He was in Lagos one Sunday morning and he called hey Godwin, I want to visit your church, I said; good… so we went to church, it was the usual thing tph is known for, a continuous attempt to relay the standard called excellence. Everything went well, I was always observing my friend to see if he had any dissatisfied look on his face but nay, he was good through out, PT went on and on(inspiring sermon), the choir did their magic and the ushers showed off with style .I was proud to be a member of TPH.Hahahahahah.
Anyway service ended and we headed home, he (My friend) was quiet……I asked, guy wassup, how was church? He goes: Godwin…Did you hear anything the pastor said; I said yes, he said cos Oboy I no hear anything oh, I never see anything like this before. I asked what? He goes, see LEVELS, see the chicks, how person go fit hear the word of God for this place? We laughed and he said a lot about the ladies and how they look imported and classy and bla bla bla.

My App World
Hello, let me share a revelation with you;I hope it helps you understand better the nature of your divine heritage.
Yesterday I had to upgrade an Application on my phone,while doing that,I saw an App for flash light,I did not know my phone had a flash light so I tried it by downloading it,I was surprised it worked, its been right there all along, then it hit me,you don't know what your phone can do until you download an App.The Spirit of God now dropped a word within me,"you do not know what you can do till you download an App from God".
We are like phones,just hardware,useless without our software.At most we do basic functions,however once we key into the revelation of who we are in Christ Jesus.We are almost invincible.We can walk on water.
Common,just plug in and download.The word of God is your App world.Everything we need; God already provided.
Salvation,Healing,Grace,Mercy,Direction,Wisdom,Power etc. Knowledge is power.Your capacity is tied to your divine identity.Plug in and download.
May God enlarge your understanding in this regard.
I wish you well.
Igonoh.
