POWER OF DESIRE We first must think "I can," then behave appropriately along that line of thought. Marsha Sinetar As I was putting pen to paper for this book, dramatic news broke in London, England. A 26 foot Northern bottle nosed whale weighing 23 tonnes had swum up the Thames. This attracted many tourists and onlookers, first as an astonishment, then delight, then about two days later to sheer sadness. The impact was well reported, and it is understandable that over 23 million viewers watched the failed rescue on the television all over the globe. As I pondered on this whale-ish experience I see a metaphor in the way that this whale, that was supposed to be a master in water, (the whale is the world’s deepest diving whale) and a specie that could not survive anywhere else but inside water, came to its death in the most inglorious fashion. It is not the fact that the whale died, which is regrettable for all animal lovers, but the fact that the water which was supposed to gi

NOVEMBER: THE MONTH SIGNS AND WONDERS FOLLOW ME Mark 16: 17....And these signs will follow those who believe... It’s most amazing how much we Christian run after money and other material things. It is particularly surprising how we go all out to ensure that they do not leave our sight. We make great efforts to seek as many signs and wonder as possible. They become the parameters for our success and our Christian landmarks. see John 4:48. Whereas, we should not be seeking after signs and wonders, they should be running and following after us. The bible is clear who should be following whom: Take for example in Mark 16: 17, God promised us that signs will follow us. His statement of assurance is definite, not arbitrary. It is infinite and not finite. It is inspirational, encouraging and reassuring. It does not take rocket science to understand that God has favoured us immensely with this remark. For example, the children of Israel had the experience see Deuteronomy 6:22-24; Also Daniel 6

OCTOBER 10: SIGNIFICANCE IN NCC EDMONTON; SIGNIFICANT IN YOUR LIFE. The Lord gave us the power to purchase our own worship centre with offices and good facilities. On the 6th of February 2009 we bought the building known as Charles Lamb Institute, 65 Church Street, Edmonton N9. The legal title passed on to us on this day after many years of its occupation for purposes other than for Christian worship, and 100 years of it’s built. A Grade 2 listed building with all its fancy, the original builders had envisioned such a day, and had stated that any religious organisation who buys the building must only use it for Christian religious doctrines/worship. To God be the glory, we in the New Covenant Church Edmonton, both old and new are blessed for this cutting edge achievement, for God has located us in the UK to be part of this ground breaking event. We took the building back for Jesus. After a long tortuous planning process, and challenging times with the builders and the architects, I

I RETURN TO BETHEL Genesis 35:1 “Then God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an alter there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.” And so Jacob returned to Bethel. In this God fulfilled a major part of Jacob’s prayer in Gen 28: 20-22. The significance of this return cannot be overstated. Jacob had fled from the wrath of his brother having cheated him, and lied to his father depriving Esau of his blessings. In the same breath he had been the one God had chosen to be His touch bearer and the line of promise. Jacob was continuing what his grandfather and father had embarked on before him. During the time of his sojourn, he had learnt many lessons by experience, acts and omissions. He had learnt the lessons of life and death(His fleeing from Esau and Laban…see Gen 27:41; and Gen 31:23) He had learnt the act of negotiation(Gen 30) the art of managing in lack, prospering in hope, hearing God, making a vow, courting a wife;

OCTOBER: THE MONTH I MAKE A NEW FRIEND. Ecclesiastes 4:9...two people are better than one... Some people are very good at making friends, they are extroverts. Some are not so good. They are introverts. However, as long as you are a Christian, you have the anointing with the commission to make friends...new friends every time. Making friends can be sensitive. The reasons varied, but top on the list is the fact that experience has taught some people that friends can mess you up big time. I say that may be true, but it is not enough to jettison making new friends. You cannot cut off your head because the cap does not fit you, neither can you cut off your nose because you’ve got cold! Instead of looking at friends who have betrayed you, why don’t you look at friends who have not let you down. Someone said friendship is like an elevator, it either takes you up or bring you down...I believe what is crucial is how you choose the friend, rather than who you choose as a friend. This month we ne

Dear Disciple The issue of love and submission has become so naughty that some couples are really contemplating divorce. Recently, we have been discussing matters of relationship in the church at Edmonton, and I am beginning to see some issues differently that i want to share, maybe these things would help some people out there. I will highlight important issues and say a bit about each of them... 1. We cannot even begin to advance any argument in love and submission, without submission been a character trait in one's self. You cannot submit to anybody or love anybody without first loving and submi tting to yourself. The extent which you can submit to yourself and love yourself is the proportionate to the love and submission you will feel disposed towards someone else. 2. So responsibility for submission must be mutual in the first instance. Submit oneself to one another. Once you can firmly understand this, you will understand everything. Submission and love will then be very

TOUGH TALK: 80%-20% theory...is it true of your marriage?

I was trying to resolve some testy and complex issues of marriage, and this theory came up as a poser. It says, men and women may never find 100% satisfaction in their marriages, and thus would look outside of marriage for the missing 20%...what an exchange of practical and down to earth exchanges we had. I then thought up some posers/questions/thoughts, and wonders if one or more of these posers ever crossed your mind? Can you be true...and real...if so, answer these questions and post back to me as comments on my blog www.toughtalk@blogspot.com ; if you dare! POSERS Always better to have one wife(woman) and One husband(man) Always better not to be divorced It is sometimes better to divorce or separate It is sometimes better to have a partner outside the marriage It is justified to have a partner if the spouse in house is unbearable Always better to avoid domestic violence There are some spouses that they understand only correction through domestic violence The man is always responsib

Let’s look at Birth and Death against this background: Birth: You did not choose where you were born neither to what parents, city, country, religion or whenever you were to be born. If you had a hand in it, some of you would not on your life ask to be born in Africa, may be in the USA, and not just in any city or any family. Some would like to be born in Hollywood, right in Tom Cruise’s family, and right on his bed!!; Maybe in Sean Connery’s BACK YARD. Or better still inside the four walls of Buckingham Palace, you would salivate on the paparazzi; don’t mind the I don’t like them attitude…It’s better than been born in ile-oluji; arochukwu; abatete; kanji, and the Baghdad and Darfur of modern day etc. You also got it free. You just came to the world after someone’s labour and pain!! In fact, you with several billions of other would be individuals attempted the gasp for life, and you succeeded, and others were unfortunate, hence you came in with a cry and a whimper. Death: You also have

PERSISITENT PERPLEXITY SHALL NOT PERPLEX YOU Dear Disciple, I am writing this piece as an encouragement to some of you who may be going through some perplexity at this time and also because every one of us has gone through it or will go through it sometime, as a basis of preparation. One thing that is sure is whatever you are going through now; this also will come to an end, because the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut off. Amen. Now what then is Perplexity? A tangled, involved, or confused condition or situation. So, there you are. If by any means you have been tangled, involved in, or confused with a condition or situation, and you are not finding ways out, and you are beginning to be frustrated and confused and discouraged, this piece is for you. I feel led to speak to you through this piece. I will be basing my writing on the experience that Paul so much analysed in 2Cor 11:24-26; and the conclusion that God came to, with him… my grace is sufficient for you and 2Co

Essentially it has been said that the time of birth and the time of death are very significant. The reasons why we say they are significant are because we see Birth as the miracle of a life being celebrated. Unless we want to deceive ourselves, we know that not all births are celebrated. Some are sad when they have children; some are sad by the circumstances of birth, and some children are born in unpalatable circumstances. No wonder then, that what you consider precious is an object of ridicule, pain, and eventual abandonment to others. Someone says: Your birth is a mistake you'll spend your whole life trying to correct. Another reason for saying birth is significant is that you are introduced to a wide new opportunities at birth Birth is the sudden opening of a window, through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect. For what has happened? A miracle. You have exchanged nothing for the possibility of everything. ” William MacNeile Dixon quotes “ Birth is the beginning of dea

Dear Disciple, 1. PREPARE FOR ELEVATION: It is always important that you are prepared for elevation or promotion or before you move into something new. Funny enough it could be to a new job, career, marriage, ministry, or even retirement etc. As we prepare for this move, we should also prepare spiritually. Most of us don’t prepare with expectation. Expectation must bring preparation as its first cousin. This month as you are expecting to be lifted in all the areas: spiritually, physically, and in all the …ally, I implore you to also begin to prepare in your heart for the elevation. See, what could have happened if there was no water in the jars at the wedding at Canaan (see John 2:6 ) Simple: NO WINE!!!! Jesus could only turn something to anything. He could fill the jars with water, but he wouldn’t, a waste of time. He was a Guest like all others. But thank God that the first miracle came by some people who prepared the water, and fetched the water into the jars. Some of us wonder why

Have you noticed? If not, I have noticed that we are in a season of corrective regimes...that is what you have when everybody is blaming someone for letting us all down...Its one of the hallmarks of a bad economy, and general amnesia and wanton corruption in the system. The church was blamed a couple of years ago, and last year it started again with the MPs blaming the bankers, and then the MPs themselves were blamed by the Press over expenses, and now guess what...the Press is being blamed over telephone hacking etc. The question is when would it stop, do you know? We experienced it in Nigeria too...Tafa Balewa came to correct the colonial masters, who came to correct the traditional rulers, then Nzeogwu came to correct Tafa Balewa that came to correct the colonial masters...Ironsi then came to correct Nzeogwu who came to correct....then Gowon came to correct Ironsi, who came to correct...who came to correct....then Murtala came to correct, Gowon who came to correct...then we paused u
