After speaking at METATHESIS, in the morning session on Friday August 27, I’d zoom off to Ibadan for THE COLLOQUIUM.I’d be speaking on the subject, “CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN”

After speaking at THE COLLOQUIUM, I’d rush back to Lagos to speak at the evening session at TREM Headquarters at Obanikoro.

The next morning, I’d be at the 100 PERCENT LEADER holding at the AFE BABALOLA Hall, University of Lagos.

I am not one of the main speakers but I shall be there to share A FANTASTIC BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY that is changing the lives of so many people for the better-one of the best business ventures I have ever  been involved in.

Later on saturday afternoon, I’d be on a TALK SHOW with Chaz B and Yaw.

It’s been organized by THE YOUNG EXECUTIVES, the Teens Church of House On The Rock.

At night, I’d be speaking at the Grace Evangel Mission at Okota.

Please try to be at one or two of these events.

More importantly, keep me in your prayers.

Ask God to grant me wisdom and favor and to cause the words that come out of my mouth to cause lasting positive change in the lives of those who hear them live or via electronic media.

I expect to see you at one of these events…and thanks for your prayers.

Destiny Beckons!

I have had the privilege of  working with thousands of young people over the last decade.

It’s been a great experience-one laced with a great measure of happy and not-so-happy moments.

I’ve had to coach, comfort and counsel.

I’ve had to touch, teach and train.

I’ve had the opportunity to reprimand, restructure and reform.

The experience is one I appreciate, cherish and I’m always willing to share.

With that in mind, it would be easy for you to appreciate the joy that filled my heart when I was invited to be one of the facilitators at a training organized by the YOUNG PEOPLE’S LEADERSHIP ACADEMY and THE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING FUND.

The event held on Saturday, August 7 at TOM ASSOCIATES, Anthony Lagos.

I shared my thoughts on the theme “Building A Sustainable Youth Ministry In The 21st Century.”

I wish I could give you the entire presentation but I have decided to put up the slides here.

Youth Ministry

If you’d like me to train a team at your ministry or church, I’d be glad to.Just click on this link to know the next step to take.

God loves you more than the devil hates you.

God’s love for you is overwhelming, intense, unconditional, pure, eternal.

In fact, it is indescribale, incomparable and incomprehensible.

Think for a moment.

Cast your mind back to the times when you messed up.

You remember?

You goofed.Yes.You flunked.You missed it.Face it-you messed up.

You called on God and inspite of your bloopers, He forgave you and restored you.

His love for you is not intimidated by your errors no matter how many they are.

His love is not fazed by your sins no matter how dirty they are.

All you need to do is return to Him because His arms are always wide open…waiting to embrace you.

You don’t need to be perfect before you come to Him.

In fact,  it’s because you are imperfect that you should approach Him.He is waiting to perfect you and everything that concerns you.

You deserve to know that…

no matter how much the devil hates you, the fury of his hatred can never match the passion of God’s love.

God’s love is so high, you can’t get above it.

It’s so deep, you can’t get beneath it.

It’s so wide, you can’t get around it.

It’s so full, you can’t get through it.

Run into God’s arm today.

He is waiting to hug you and he told me to tell you just that.

A few days ago, I wrote along these lines.

I still feel burdened to progress in this direction.

Perhaps only eternity will reveal the power unleashed by our words.

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love IT shall eat its fruit” Solomon said.

That means whatever you desire is in your mouth.

Poverty and prosperity are in the power of the tongue.

Which do you choose?When you have insufficient cash and your bills are due, do you say “I’m broke” or do you say “I’m temporarily out of cash but my God shall supply all my need according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.”

When you feel that fever coming on, do you say “I’m so sick” or do you say “My body feels kinda funny but I know that by the stripes of Jesus, I am healed.”

When you feel like you flunked the examination or the interview, do you say “I know I have failed” or do you say “I still believe that I am the head and not the tail.”

The way to change your life is to change your words.

Your life is ultimately the product of words you have spoken over the years.

if you don’t like what you seeing, change what you are saying.

Why not start practicing from today?

Isn’t amazing that we take God for granted so often.

We step out of our homes in the morning and return safe in the evenings and we assume that we kept ourselves safe throughout the day.

We travel by air, road, sea …and think we arrived safely because we boarded the right vehicles.

We eat different meals in restaurants, cafeteria, “buka” and conclude that we had no case of food poisoning just because we washed our hands properly or dropped by at the most hygienic eatery.

We use our computers and they don’t crash so we boast that it is because we use this antivirus and that security software.

We are promoted on the job and enjoy breakthroughs in our businesses and we grin because we think all the wonderful things we enjoy are a result of our intelligence and wit.

Hmmm…

We must always appreciate God for the good things we enjoy.

Truth be told-there are people who are smarter, faster, stronger and more discrete than us who still err and experience major mishaps.

We aren’t blessed because we are “all that”.We are blessed because of the goodness of God.

If this bruises your ego, I have no apologies.I tell you the truth, you are blessed the way you are because of the mercies of God so the next time you are tempted to boast of your string of accomplishments, watch it…give God ALL the GLORY.

Thank God.

Let that be your watchword this weekend.Thank God.

Reflect on His goodness and let Him know how grateful you are.

Thank Him…now.
