Still on this lateness issue on wedding day.

I recall sometime in 2013 or there about, on my way to Sango-OTa to conduct a wedding slated for 10am, I had left Abeokuta, where I was and still resident at 7am for Sango-Ota which is just about 1hr 30mins drive. At 9.30am,

I was not even near my destination. What I'm I going to do all decked up in an expensive suit, white shirt and a bow tie to match, I asked myself..."I don't arrive late for ministry assignment I said... it's still a guiding rule for me.

Without much ado, I asked my wife to get behind the wheels while I hopped on a bike. To cut the long story short, I got to the church at exactly 9.55am.

I had pastored the intending couple for about 4 years and they very well knew I was a stickler to time, particularly,

"church runs."

During counselling sessions, the intending couple had been reminded over and over again not to come late to the church on their wedding day, but alas, one of them came late. (You guessed right)

I got to the church and met the groom who was at this time on the

talking to his wife angrily.

To cut the long story short, at the strike of 10am, I gave instructions that the service should commence.

We proceeded accordingly and just at the moment I asked, "who brings in the bride?" I saw the bride running in at 10.35am into the church, wow,

This short drama is still playing out in our days.

Jesus noticed this man who had been sick, stagnant and hopelessly hopeless.

He had been there for 38yrs.
Obviously, he was not born there. He was probably dumped there by his parents.

2.
He was probably a teenager with dreams and aspiration when calamity struck, and had to be dumped there when his parents got tired of taking care of him.

Obviously, he had been in his new "residence" even before Jesus was born.... been crippled for 38yrs. WOW 😳

3.
📌
Matthew 5v6-12 TPT
When Jesus saw him lying there, he knew that the man had been crippled for a long time. So Jesus said to him, “Do you truly long to be healed?”

To cut the long story short, the crippled man was healed
📌

4.
8 Then Jesus said to him, “Stand up! Pick up your sleeping mat and you will walk!”
9 Immediately he stood up—he was healed! So he rolled up his mat and walked again! Now this miracle took place on the Jewish Sabbath.

Now, watch this in V10

5.
📌
The leaders who did not see him when he was in abject poverty and pain, suddenly saw him when he was delivered. They never came to his aid...infact, he must have been a good sport to watch. Rather than rejoice with him, they began to use their reggae to spoil his blues.

You are more than what "men" can see or would ever see..

Let me start with this Mantra from Guinness Nigeria Ltd.

They have this brand of stout, and at the end of the advert, I usually hear these words..."You are made for more..."

2.
Yes, we are all indeed made for more, but, sadly, many never attain unto what God has called them to be, either through spiritual laziness, ignorance, nonchalance etc.

Many have allowed their background keep their "backs" perpetually on the ground. In the beginning,

3.
it was not meant to be so.

You see, You are more than what "men" can see or would ever see. You are even more than what you see. There is always more.

While Pastoring at the RCCG many years ago, I heard these words by the General Overseer, Pst. E.A. Adeboye, over a zillion

times.. "I have not even scratched the surface..".

Each time he reached what we all considered to be a major milestone, he would be quick to tell us, "I have not even started".

I recall the inconceivable idea of gathering over
6m people at lekki '98 Holy Ghost service.

5.
It was crazy at the beginning and many were full of unbelief at the time, but, the rest, they say is history. CNN even confirmed we were over 6m that gathered at lekki.
Fast forward to when the RCCG built the largest camp ground auditorium in the world, measuring 3km by 3km,

A SHORT EXHORTATION

The Holy Spirit Helps in many ways and in every way

This is just a very brief testimony.of how I lost something valuable yesterday and later found it this morning.

Woke up to the news that my wallet was missing... missing ke? How, where? My biggest concerns

were all my ATM cards therein etc.

My son and I began turning the entire house up side down with no comforting result.

Afterall, I only stepped up briefly yesterday to get some fruits and it was a distance of about 200mtrs.

I said to myself, this cannot happen. I have never

lost anything and not recover it, not even when one of my staff defrauded the branch of a bank I was managing some years ago.

I said a short prayer. Holy Spirit, thank you for covering my wallet wherever it's been since yesterday. Thank you for leading me to wherever it is. As I

step out in search of it, let me come back home with it.

I stepped out in faith and viola, as I got to the fruit seller's shop, everyone was gazing at me in a funny and unusual way. Suddenly and in one accord, they all asked me "what are you looking for?

There and then, I knew

my wallet was in safe hand. Infact, the elderly woman said, someone found it on the floor and since the fellow knew I was a regular customer here, dropped it at her shop. Infact, she said, she was about sending her daughter to bring it to my house. Long and short of it, I came

🔰 *PRAYER4NIGERIA* 🔰 Part 2

You and I know things are not alright in Nigeria.

If we don't take this nation back, "they" won't hand it over.

If we don't do what what needs to be done, the hardship will continue.

Enough of our SIDDON LOOK approach..

Enough of blaming those in their 70s & 80s that refuse to retire.....

we need to rise up and be seen to be ready & well equipped to take over Nigeria.

Sulking and social media commentaries are no criteria for winning elections or being called upon to take elective positions.

When the youths of this country refuse to cease or grab opportunities, then we shouldn't complain when incompetent and thieving people step in or cling on to power

Truth be told, we have allowed these crop of politicians to continually DISTRACT us at critical moments.

We either take it back now, or remain "WHERE" we are

"IN"

Judges 8:20 MSG
Then he spoke to Jether, his firstborn: "Get up and kill them." But he couldn't do it, couldn't draw his sword. He was afraid - he was still just a boy.

We could conclude that afterall, he was just a youth, agreed...

David had his chance against Goliath too, he took it & the rest they say is history.

When God reached out to David desiring to use him to save Israel from Goliath, it was up to David to arise.

A SHORT EXHORTATION

THE TRUE HELPER

It's a horrible thing to remain defenseless in this wicked world, and that's why we all need Jesus.

There are places your millions will not be able to defend or help you.

Places where the high and mighty you know are not only helpless,

but, unable to defend you.

There are times the best doctors you know are helpless when you are rushed to the hospital.

Places where your security measures even run into hiding and unable to defend you.

The name of Jesus, that name alone is the ultimate defense. The ultimate

name everything and everyone bows down to.

A ready help and helper in time of need.

Others may want to help, but are unavailable or unable.

Others may initially want to help, but, suddenly change their minds in your time of need.

Others may have the capacity to help, but,

choose not to help or offer you help at a cost you are unable to afford.

Jesus is different. He is the real deal.

Always ready
Always available.
Always willing to help.

Psalms 46:1 MSG
God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.

If no one else chooses to

My ABEOKUTA-Lagos Train trip dairy, 17th February, 2022

This is without Prejudice

A mixture of the Good, The Bad & The Ugly

It's supposed to be my first train ride & this is my personal experience.

First and foremost, the idea of initiating and completing this laudable and long awaited infrastructure, is awesome. Kudos to the Buhari administration for it's completion.

I was inbound, Lagos. (My bitter sweet experience)
D journey from my home to d station began at 6.15am,

all in an attempt to avoid the rush for tickets. The station which is about 8km from my home started on a good note. I had planned to take a cab to the station, a break from the accompanying stress of driving to Lagos. (We all know Lagos is not an easy place to drive to)

At exactly 6.20am, a flagged down an incoming car, thinking it was a cab, as the atmosphere was still a bit foggy, and difficult to make out which car was approaching. The driver stopped and to my disappointment, it wasn't a cab, but, a privately own car. The driver bent over and

asked me to come in, I asked how much to the nearest destination to the terminal, and he said, "don't worry, just hop in, I just want to help you"

The first yeye thought that came to my head was, "look well before you enter o, we don't want stories that touch in these days of
