Pastor Julius Ejedenawe (PJ); A Hearty Happy Birthday!

O God, this is a prayer of a grateful 💖 

Your name forever be praised. 

For your miracle again, has manifested

Pastor Julius-PJ you gave us few years back

His heart, future and whole we rededicated, 

But years on he wandered; we wondered, “ifs”

Questions tumbled to what panaceas to turn.


Today, in thanksgiving angel Uju sings by him

For, by your grace they found each other; and,

By your mercy what restless wind and storms

There were you have cast out of his as her life.


Thank you for your mercy that has seen him

Protected and shielded from all the darkness

And turmoil that has consumed his generation.

Your blessing that has seen him exemplary; as 

Leading light followers of Christ in Ataga home

I pray your baptism remain rooted in his abode 

The Ataga homes and of all extended families; by

Marriage, by assemblage in the name of Jesus.


In Pastor Jay many have found on the pulpit:

On radio your power to quench their longings

Please help to renew him as he rekindles his

Quest to continue on the path to find lost souls

To help rehabilitate repentant prodigal children


Thank you for every opportunities he has had,

Thank you for being there despite our-shared

Impatience and not being appreciative enough.

For endless rain of mercy, even as we fail you:

For your patience, understanding, forgiveness;

For giving in abundance, your divine sanction.


🙏.

Turned 50

What a journey ..so far

Its was God Himself who designed that certain organisms known as cells and around forty million or more of them in number would need to fight for a chance to reach the finishing line and survive in spite of the odds stacked against them.

The beginning began for me as one one these cells ....... soon as the channels where open, i was somehow carrying a stable particle with enough positive charge to burst me out of the starting line up,

..... all around me cells, cells with amazing dna all rushing inside the same tube and with their self generating fire power from within and it was blast off....

This magnificent yet mysterious, arduous Journey of life , we all embarked upon started...... swim...I , but this was no ordinary swim.....it was upstream burning up more energy ... We head towards the fallopian tubes our mission ( all over forty million of us) to fertilize an egg...just one egg...

UnLike in the Olympics where only the fastest times make it to the next phase, this race I realised quickly was going to be the Heat and finals all at the same time.....who prepares for this kind of adventure and how...

I bless God for his manifold wisdom..I really do!

As I scribble I can feel his presence all over me...like a teacher watching its prized student, diligently nudging me along the right paths of thoughts and articulation of ideas...
I understand how David felt when he had to encourage himself...its the same feeling

bless the God for his manifold wisdom..I really do!

Its the Survival of the Fastest-Swimming Cell to reach the egg that will win the grand prize of being the one... The very one..

How did i prepare for such a race, what courses are there to enroll in ,who knows the rudiments and dimensions of this realm - so they can instruct I and the over forty million of us.

What are the odds... One in forty million that's not so exciting is it?
Although the exact odds will depend upon many factors, all of which i have no clue.

Here's how it looks like.if I happen to be a number O71670 (July 16/1970 ) In a lottery in which you pick let's say 6 numbers from a possible pool of 49 numbers, my chances of winning the jackpot (the egg) (correctly choosing all 6 numbers drawn) are 1 in 13,983,816.- that's (thirteen million Nine hundred and Eighty three thousand, eight hundred and sixteen) 1 shot in almost 14 million. pheeew!!!

What a chance..but that's how God has designed it....

Remember As many as we are the journey is programmed to end less than half an hour or a few days, nevertheless..... Its on your marks, steady.....go...

Not only do the over forty million of us cells have to swim and wade through torrents and temperatures not controlled by any of us, we by Faith have to believe we are swimming in the right direction....our GPS system called faith - have to be trusted over distances that are around a thousand times our entire body length, ..... Who fit for such?

Only God Enables

.....the various pit stops and need for a retreat and fresh breath of air are not allowed,what about the sudden turbulent, dangerous chemicals and currents along the way. ... Keep swiming

My God Almighty I bow in sweet and awesome surrender!

as the race progressed i discovered that the number had began to drop very fast,very fast indeed, at certain currents and flow speeds, so many millions dropped out of the race, died i was informed ...

......i considered looking back but the fear of loosing my rhythm kept me going, this is the Olympics of life....
am panting but I was still in it.....the race that started with over forty million ended with just a few more ... oscillation .

I did it....I did it

Oh He Did it

My first battle, to celebrate my first victory

July 16th 1970
Today....its Fifty years already.


While am here!!
Every blessing you poured out all these years
I gather to return as praise

When I looked out of my window of life
The gains from pains washed away by your rain of mercy and Grace
Abba Father, Thank you Sir!

ZACK'S STORY

By Abidemi Sanusi ZACK’S STORY is a response to Kemi’s Diary; that is, stories of two narrators in love but unlike in the earlier story where we shared kemi’s diary, here we’re taken on a journey of reflection of the other half- Zack Kariba. Zack gave a testimony of how within two years leading to their ten years anniversary, on where he had been, how he and his fiancée who eventually turns out wife had lived in his one room apartment, his emotional turmoil within the period and an usual discovery of his past. The story is a real, palpable documentation, that streak of actual record. Zack’s character Abidemi Sanusi shows aptly, writes his story in a different style from Kemi - showcasing the typical male orientation and worldview. She writes with the precision of highly literate prose novelist with very well crafted dialoguing. Zack is shown to have the habit of interrupting himself, as if impatient with the fictional convention of telling a story linearly. For instance, let me qu

TENANTS OF THE HOUSE

BY WALE OKEDIRAN The historical real-life tale in the ‘Tenants of the House’ will come alive for all those who were fortunate to witness the shenanigans that went with similar attempt few years back; as in the ‘Tenants of the House,’ there was an impeachment procedure instituted against the Speaker of the House of Representative, spear headed by the president, then there was a successful fight back, but then, this was followed immediately by an attempt to institute constitutional amendment for tenure prolongation through the back door which caused an uproar and,...finally, a counter impeachment procedure instituted by the the two houses against the president. The book’s uncontested star is ofcourse, the president; a Chief Ambrose Oneya, a caricature; sloppy, foul-mouthed chief executive whose only ways to do things was to stampede everyone into doing whatever he wanted done, done his way and who never believed, until he was humiliatingly humbled, that Nigerian and Nigeria as a c

WHY WOMEN WON'T GO TO HEAVEN

By DUL JOHNSON 1. I want to start from the very beginning – the opening; What does a reader want in an opening? First is to have the writer introduce the main character(s) and intimate something about the situation she/they are in-i.e the conflict that will provide dramatic twine for the story; (2) to get us interested and involved; and (3) to do it all in a timely fashion, i.e. it stops being an opening as soon as possible and gets on with the story.... ‘WHY WOMEN WON’T MAKE IT TO HEAVEN’ succeeded in doing just that...it introduces us to the characters, showed us where they were, and showed that they’ve gotten concerns or problems. And it does all these in the first page; starting with a long paragraph and quick five short paragraphs. After this, the story is up and running as the conflicts between a husband and his wife, then similar issues between other husbands and their wives escalates with disastrous consequences. The second story is more leisurely, comparably. Reading throug
