MISSION A1:8

WHEW... it's been 13 long days since my last update... it's been a bee hive of activities since my birthday and mhen... i have been busy...
well guys i'm writing with feverish joy(una never hear of that one before?) as the official count down to one of the greatest events of the year(hold on a bit... ) yep i knew something was wrong... i meant the GREATEST EVENT of the year starts in earnest...... 29 days to go...

many years ago when i got admission to study Law in benson Idahosa university, little did i know that it was gonna be an encounter with destiny that i would not recover from(for full gist grab a copy of my best selling book, "The story of my life" out in all the major bookstores near you from year 2025)

yes so back to the parole... april 2006 began to draw near and the whole school went into fevered preparations for JAM SUMMIT and i was like what is all this one na... well since i was the typical 'refugee'(people wey no dey go house even durin christmas n new year not to talk of easter) i decided to just go along with them make i no dey bored... till today i have never regretted that decision.

after then i have been opportuned to be in the JAM SUMMIT planning committee twice when the vatican city of C.F.I(yes that's B.I.U, Uniben no cry, ) hosted...

it's always been an awesome experience and continues to be... Jesus And Me Summit(that's the full meaning of JAM, because i know some of you's mouth are already watering thinking of food.) is a perfect blend of social, spiritual and educational interraction and is one of the only places in the world where i can finally be myself.
Now that i work in a sensitive position in church i have to be all prin and proper but in JAM SUMMIT i can express myself without inhibitions as i get High on the Most High God.
now let's see if CFItes reading this post can catch up with a few things

ITS MY 25TH BIRTHDAY(25 THINGS I HAVE LEARNT IN 25 YEARS)






Wow… I’m finally 25… yea I know peeps don’t like screaming their ages out loud. But walahi(in hausa accent) I don’t care! God has been so faithful and he has brought me through a lot to where I am now…


Well I’ll be having a thanksgiving service this afternoon by 2pm with a small reception then off to the motherless home to have fun with them. You can join in if interested. Simply beep me on 08062999121 or 08095205555.
Well I wanna share 25 things I have learnt over 25 years and I hope you learn something from them. They can be used as nuggets or just general guidelines to help you as they have helped me. I had to learn some of them the hard way.(still currently going through the pains of one of them, but God is faithful)

Here we go…

#1
The recipie for failure is to try to please everybody at all times

#2
when push comes to shove, the only friend who'll never leave you is God

#3
don't compromise integrity, when the chips are down integrity will speak for you

#4
when things begin to look really hard, hold on tight, your miracle is around the corner

#5
not everyone who calls you friend is happy with you

#6
give without expecting anything in reture, it's one way to open the heavens

#7
everyone has a past... if you don't put it behind you you can't move on

#8
you need to love you for people to love you

#9
you cannot feature in a future you cannot picture

#10
until your heart agrees with your mouth you can't get answers to prayers

#11
Never run ahead of God, you will hit a ditch and have to wait for him to come pick you up while you suffer pain. save yourself the pain and walk with him

#12
love is not pain, that's a lie lust has spread. love helps take away pain.

#13
until you know God you cannot truly love. likewise anyone that does not know God cannot love you

#14
when you stumble into sin, stop wallowing in guilt, it's a trap! run back to your maker for reconciliation

#15
everyone makes mistakes, stop beating yourself up, put yourself together and move on...

#16
Diligence is the key to breakthrough, even if you are just a cleaner clean well!

#17
no one can look down on you without your consent, value yourself.

#18
Life without Christ is crisis... no sentiments.... he can turn ur mess into a message

#19
You cannot truly understand mercy until you have been rescued from a mess you deserve to be in

#20
You cannot give what you don’t have… your words are a reflection of who you are

#21
Watch what your friends say when they are angry, their angry words usually say how they really feel about you

#22
Anger is inevitable but how you react to it is a choice… one moment of uncontrolled anger can mar you permanently

#23
when Jesus cried 4rm d cross "it is finished" all ur sins from womb to the tomb were paid 4 in full. satan cannot cross the bloodline. thank God for Jesus....

#24
It is better at times to remain quiet even when you really want to say something in order to avoid an argument with someone you care about.

#25
After all said and done, God remains faithful stick to him!!!
Happy birthday to me and I love you all
