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.
🙏.

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!
