Time is 10.00am @ RCCG, Place of Grace, 113 Akowonjo Road, Egbeda, Lagos. See the attached link for a copy of the advert. YOU WILL SUCCEED!

IRRESISTIBLE INFLUENCE!

What did Jesus mean when He called us salt and light in Matthew 5:13-16? That is what I believe to be the Leadership concept of Irresistible Influence which is what I will be sharing and exploring come Sunday evening, April 1st by 4.00pm in the City of Abuja, Nigeria. It promises to be an exciting edition of our Purpose ‘n’ Life Seminar. I am looking forward to it. Will you be there? For more info: see here

If you’re in or around Abuja on Sunday, April 1, 2012, I invite you to join me at this meeting. It promises to be life-changing.

MINISTRY REPORT

I just returned from the city of Lagos, the commercial capital and nerve centre of Nigeria where I ministered to the warm and beautiful people of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, House of Grace, Ketu Lagos. A big “God bless you” to Pastor and Mrs. Akinola Odupitan for that wonderful opportunity. It has always been a pleasure ministering for Pastor Odupitan and this was no different. God bless you, sir.

Thank you, friends and partners for making it possible to carry this life-changing message to the ends of the world. You are blessed!

WORDS TO LIVE BY

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold. (Proverbs 22:1 KJV)

THOUGHTS TO CHEW ON

If your name is not good without a title, your name is not good! – Yomi Olufiade

THOUGHTS TO CHEW ON

God has given us everything we need to bring about godly change in our nations, but until we stop simply talking about it and start acting on it, He will watch from heaven, allowing us to continue with our choice of dull and suppressed lives. – Roberts Liardon

JOIN ME IN PRAYER FOR NIGERIA


Let us pray:
“Give us men! A time like this
Demands strong minds, great hearts,
True faith and ready hands;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor – men who will not lie;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fray,
In public duty and in private thinking.”
– Josiah Gilbert Holland

So be it, Lord, in Jesus name. AMEN!

WHERE I STAND ON THE FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL ISSUE

I am a Nigerian. I live in Nigeria. And I love and believe in Nigeria. I am not an activist neither am I an insurrectionist. But this is an issue that affects us all and our yet unborn children. This fuel subsidy removal has only brought into the open a long overdue leadership question we need to address as a people and nation.

If you know me, you know that I am not partisan where politics is concerned. My calling will not even permit me. I am a pastor. I lead people of different political persuasions. I neither campaigned nor canvassed votes for any particular candidate in the last April general elections. And I have no beef for the government in power or any of the dramatis personae in this matter. But I feel the pain of the man on the street because I have been there. Of course, high priests are chosen FROM among men and ordained FOR men (Heb. 5:1-2).

And that is why I’m speaking out. I will not bore you here with all the facts and arguments for and against. I’m sure you are aware of that.

Subsidy Removal or no Subsidy Removal, God’s Word still works! Faith is yet the victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4). Even though today I bought less than 10 litres of PMS with the same amount that would have bought me 20 litres just last week, we’ll still be here and standing. Whatever happens, we will still triumph by the covenant. We will survive! And we won’t just survive, we will thrive. In fact, we will FLOURISH! For “the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew” (Exodus 1:12). So it is for the children of the covenant.

BUT, and this is a big BUT, “the heavens belong to God, the earth has He given to us sons of men!” (Psalm 115:16) GOD will not do what MAN must do. We will pray but we will speak out! There’s a time for everything – “a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;” (Ecclesiastes 3:7b). WE WILL NOT BE DOCILE! Government or leadership must be accountable to the citizenry or it should quit!

I support the president, his cabinet, aides and the national assembly members. I pray for them. And I understand the burden of leadership. What I do not understand and I cannot endorse is a government that lacks empathy, that puts self before service and is full of arrogance.

Like I said in my facebook status post yesterday evening: “It will be well with Nigeria but not until we as Nigerians accept responsibility and take our destiny in our own hands. No one leader is smarter than the collective sensibility of the rest of us. I say NO to insensitive, unjust, and self-centered leadership. When a people become aware of their God-given rights and decide to exercise it and enforce it, let every ‘ruler’ posing as a leader beware! The time has come! No longer will Nigerians be taken for a ride.” GOD BLESS NIGERIA!
