Only 300? - My Birthday Gift

I just listened to a message about Gideon and his army of 300 soldiers. Somehow, I was hearing something else in my Spirit (got a new understanding, saw in a new light).
The 9,700 soldiers that failed God's test can be those who in Nigeria now have seen a semblance of peace and stability. And have thrown away their PEN and indulged themselves with 'enjoying' the moment. Those are not part of this movement.
Why did God choose that few? Out of 32,000 soldiers! He wanted all the glory for Himself, and wants to make it hard for Israelis to take the glory for themselves. Hence, they would have said 'the size of our army helped us' instead of acknowledging God.
Now, the second group by the river who passed are the members of this group. We acknowledge what is going on in our country now, but we still have our hand on our weapons 'PEN' while using the other hand to take up the water, still conscious that the enemy 'corruption, greed, selfishness, and the like' is still at large in the minds of the leadership and citizens of our country.
We are the ones God will use to break the hold of the midianites 'corrupt leaders a.k.a Cabal & Sons, Nigeria Ltd', 'When-I-get-there-I-will-do-my-own Company' on the soul of Nigeria.
I say to you just like Gideon told the 32,000-strong army, if you are fearful or afraid or unsure, please leave the group. You can encourage and support us in your mind, it will still be ok. If you look at your actions the past couple of weeks, you will know if you have 'put your head into the water with reckless abandon' or you have 'dipped one hand in the water with the other hand on your PEN'.
My encouragement, let us put our trust in God and pray for the leadership of this group so that they will receive with accuracy, the next phase in the journey of reclamation of the soul of our Great Country - Nigeria.

God Bless you all,
God Bless Nigeria
This is my Birthday's gift to my Country! (April 21, 2011)

WORLD SHAKER

The first time I said the words ''WORLD SHAKER'' was way back October 1, 2002. For the next 5 years, I kept on telling anybody that cared/didn't care to listen that I am a World Shaker even though I didn't fully understand what/how exactly I would go about shaking it. Sometime in 2007, God asked me who a World Shaker is and honestly between you and I, my head was blank; He [God] taught me right there and then that a World Shaker is someone who affects his neighbour positively i.e. someone who influences his neighbour to think/act positively; someone who adds value to another person. The power of 1 is so strong because that 1 person has the potential to influence 1 million others the world over; ergo, do all that is within your capacity to help someone think better. It is said that you act to the best of their knowledge per time; if you know better, you will do better. If you change a person's thoughts, you have inadvertently changed the person's li...

HOPE + FUL - LESS = HOPE

#OccupyNigeria #FuelSubsidy #ABSURAPE #ALUU4 #MUBI #BOKOHARAM #PLANECRASH #FESTACRAPE #UNBOMBING #KIDNAPPING #PILEUPS #BUILDINGCOLLAPSE #FIREDISASTER It is evident that we live in a broken world and nothing we do will fix the predicament we the inhabitants find ourselves because we ourselves are imperfect and there is no way we can create a perfect system out of an imperfect mind. The mere fact that we go from one tragedy to the other shows that the change we seek has to start with us, otherwise, we will remain in the same dysfunctional state where things seem to work, only to take turns for the worse and degenerate into terrible situations which jolts us back to reality. That some of the tragedies we have witnessed in recent times are man-made and preventable is enough reason for us to realize that we need to consciously work on renewing our minds. Where's the love gone? Love for self precedes love for others and this will breed fore-thought and help your decision-making ...

Highly Indebted

There is no self-made human being anywhere, we are all products of the people in our lives, a reflection of who they are. More often than not, we turn out just like the people closest to us, and we perpetuate or if at all possible, re-invent ourselves to chart a new course. I would like to appreciate some of those people who shared their knowledge with me. Sometime in December of the year 2000, my friend Bukola had told the class to expect someone who would come to teach us some science subjects after closing hours. I couldn't have imagined that the trajectory of my life would be altered forever. He sauntered in about a full-hour behind schedule, said simply "my name is Franklyn Eze, you can call me FRC" and after apologizing asked the about a dozen of us left in the class the question "what makes tomato red?" I was taken aback, not only because it had never crossed my mind, but because I had been asked by someone who was about the same age as me or a co...
