All these wins here and there and as a result of God making ways where there seem no ways and preparing a road that leads to purpose delivery because I will be read internationally.
And I bless His Holy name for loading me daily with wins, wins and more wins.
Welcome once again to this channel. It has been fantastic 20 days all along.
To start with, I am a Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬. A proud one at that and I love my country for the following reasons:
Multi-pluralities: both in tribes (over 200), languages (over 250), religions (more than 5), political parties (close to 100 in the last general elections),etc.
Famous personalities who are shaking the whole world in all human endeavors. Name that sector and you will definitely met a Nigerian in the top seat there.
Highest numbers of twins in the whole world
And many more.
In traditional Yoruba agbada.
Therefore, I thank God for the provision of all these in my country.
Semo and okro soup
I also thank God for our leaders across all strata for the wisdom and understanding you have given them and will give them.
I also appreciate your Holy name for our economy. You are wonderful oh Lord, my God.
For adding to us daily making us the most populous Black nation, you are highly exalted
Thank you for everything concerning my country. It is by your power and allowance, that we are, despite the threats of terrorists, seccessionists, bandits, insecurities, etc.
Conclusively, let’s sing the national anthem;
Arise, O Compatriots Nigeria’s call obey To serve our fatherland With love and strength and faith The labour of our heroes past, shall never be in vain To serve with heart and might, One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity
Oh God of creation, Direct our noble cause Guide our leaders right Help our youth the truth to know In love and honesty to grow And living just and true Great lofty heights attain To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign
Today’s task for you: (1) How many state of the federation have you been to? (For Nigerians). (2) Have you been to Nigeria? If yes, which state? (non-Nigerians).
P:S: To non-Nigerians wondering if these assertions are true. They are true and Nigeria is not as bad as it’s portrays home and abroad and we have our own national challenges as every developing and developed nations.
Let’s praise the Lord for day 19 of our #GratitudeChallenge because He knows all things – the past, the present and the future, the explainable and the unexplainable.
Why He created me a black man in Africa in one of the best African countries called Nigeria – the giant of the Continent. While you are created in that skin color, is wholly to God’s idea which you may not be able to explain.
While you are created a female and I a male may not be fully understood by us now.
The reason that incidents happened, the explanation may blow your mind.
There are many things, phenomena, happenings in this present world, that our human reasons, logics and intellects can’t fathom because as long as we are here we will be knowing in parts and seeing in parts but one day, you and I will understand everything.
You will understand why the accident happens.
You will understand why your business fails.
You will understand why your Christian boyfriend dies.
You will understand why that lady abandoned you in the relationship without prior notice.
You will understand why your spouse died or even divorce you even though you fought for the union on your legs.
When we get home, you may be chanced to ask God why did he introduced Job to Satan for testing cos actually you protect you asset.
Meanwhile, while we are still in this earthen vessel let’s thank Him for that He knows all things and does all things perfect and good.
Lord, thank you that although there is so much that I do not understand in this world, I can trust in your wonderful love. Help me today, and every day, to continue to wonder at your great love for me.
It seems our world is a sex world. We are so craze about it to the extent we made it look like without sex, a human being can’t survive.
Had it been, what the world promotes is conjugal sex – sex between a biological male and biological female in the exclusive confine of marriage, it would have been better but what they promote is illicit sex, casual sex and perversions.

They have commonalised and commercialized it.
We are bombarded with sexual scenes on our streets, TVs, smartphones, billboards, books, etc. Even church is not spared.
… Jehovah Aronilagbara – the Strenghter and JehovahOlopo ore ofe – the plentiful Grace enabler
But among all these temptations, I asked God to help me keep myself sexually till my wedding night and He marvellously helped me.
If not for God, the power failed. Not once and not even thrice but I was prevented from failing and tarnishing the image of Christ in me.
I called him, Jehovah Aronilagbara – the Strenghter and JehovahOlopo ore ofe – the plentiful Grace enabler
Thank you for helping me and my wife to do Your will and that we will continue to do Your will throughout our lives in Jesus name. Amen.
If God helped my wife and I, He can helped you too and if we can do it, you too can do it.

There was this lady I want to marry that had God granted I wouldn’t have a good Marriage like I am having now.
She is good behaviorally and I am not to bad either but His perfect will override mine.
As with my supposed courtship did not materialize, so has many things I had prayed for did not materialized.
Is God not good again? God is always good because later when I ruminated on those things,any of them I don’t need them.
Is it all that I don’t need? Many others like house, car, better jobs, etc, are real needs and Yahweh is still good because at His own time and for His own glory and honour, He will do it.
Thank God for all unanswered prayers that there are for goodness.
Today’s task for you: Reflect on God’s graciousness to you.
25 more days to go in appreciating the goodness of good great God.
As I always said, thanks for the follows, likes, shares, comments and subscriptions. It’s sooo heartwarming! And even if you haven’t done any of those, thanks for visiting here.
One of the beautiful names we called Lord God in my mother tongue is Eleti-lu-kanra-bi-ajere – The One who hears.
Furthermore, He is a God who hears indeed and it is a great honour that a mortal me should dare to commune with the Holy immortal God and He does listen.
Brethren, God listens to prayers and do answers them, even the ones prayed in not-so-prayerful mood. That I can testify and I say;
Thank you Lord for answered prayers.
Thanks you Jesus for unanswered prayers. For I know that with You, noting is impossible and it’s for Your glory and my benefits that it was so.
Thank You for fast answers.
Thanks for slow answers because everything happens at Your own time.
Thanks you sweet hours of prayers.
Thank for the stupidest prayers I even prayed.
And hallelujah for the wisest ones I had offered.
In all, glory be to Your Being for the privileges of prayers.
I love You, Lord.
To close for today, let’s sing this popular hymn:
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! that calls me from a world of care, and bids me at my Father's throne make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief, and oft escaped the tempter's snare by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! the joys I feel, the bliss I share of those whose anxious spirits burn with strong desires for thy return! With such I hasten to the place where God my Savior shows his face, and gladly take my station there, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! thy wings shall my petition bear to him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless. And since he bids me seek his face, believe his word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

As I was writing yesterday’s gratitude post, it dawned on me to appreciate Jehovah for the grace, opportunity and privileges of services on day 11.
You know, many are called but few are chosen and the few of us who responded, He has chosen for the work of service in His vineyard both in worshipping Him and rendering ministerial works to my brothers and sisters in the faith.
As a former Choir member, I am grateful my King for the quarky voice. At least, it ministered praise to Your eternally blessed Name and help in blessing the lives of brothers and sisters you have given me in the church.
For the privileges of ministering as Secretary of our Royal Ambassador group, hallelujah to Your awesomeness.
How do I start with that privilege of preparation as Students’ Fellowship President of my local church, I throw You salutes sir, Ancient of days.
The Fourth Man in the fire, Hallowed be Your Name for opportunity of being General Secretary (Uncle) during my National Youth Service Corps’ (NYSC) year. The lessons learnt in the house of RCCF Gumel, Jigawa State is unforgettable.
Now as a Sunday School Teacher, it was a blessing to be counted worthy to be a teacher to your people. A blessing, I am most grateful for, I AM THAT I AM.
I will never failed to acknowledge Your Divinity for the privileges and grace of ministration I have obtained from fellow brethren.
To summarise your goodness, I dedicated this song of praise by Sinach:
Waymaker, Miracle worker, Promise keeper, Light in the darkness, My God, That is who you are.
Today’s task for you: Do know that God is God with or without you and I?
Today being day 10 of 40, I asked my wife was she is grateful and she mentioned grace.
What is grace? Grace means unmerited favour. In my language, we called it ore ofe meaning free favour.
I can say that I have enjoy grace upon grace even my first girlfriend was named Grace. Lol.
By grace, I was saved not of any work. I don’t even have any work to boast of in the first instance.
By grace, I am alive not because if I am gone, God will cease being God. With or without me, God is.
By grace, I received and receiving many goodies of life from the Almighty for my living and comfortability. After all, I didn’t put any money in fixed account with Him.
Grace upon grace found me just as I am.
His grace didn’t give me what I deserved but what He has purpose to do.
By grace, I am married when I least expected it but grace picked me up and make me sit among the princes and princesses.
God’s grace has been overwhelming and I say all glory, power, honor, adoration, blessing and admiration to You and You alone.
I bless you Holy name for the sustaining grace bestowed upon my household. May your name be exalted.
Let’s conclude this with a song
Ore ofe sa nigbekele, Jesu ku fun araye, O ku funmi pelu.
Grace is my backbone, Jesus died for the world, He died for me too.
Today’stask for you: reflect on God’s graciousness to you and praise him.
Today’s is day 9 of 40 days Gratitude Challenge. If you are reading this episode for the first time, the reason behind this challenge is to appreciate Yahweh for everything He has done, is doing, will do and will not do not because He is powerless to do it because because He knows all, during this Lent.

Now to today’s business. It was said of eagle that each time, it is getting tired and old, it will retreat to a solidary place to hibernate, shed all its feathers and get refreshed. Isn’t it wonderful when Bible said, those that waited on the Lord, their strengths will be renewed, mount high like eagle, run and will not be tired and walk but not be weary.
It is always refreshing to me that God supplies all the energy for each day and He keeps renewing the strength daily.
Isn’t it glorious that sleeping very tired and waking up highly rejuvenated?
Isn’t it awesome when you are not up there spiritually, Holy Spirit is upholding you?
Each day you had disagreement with your spouse, but still your Marriage is Hale and hearty. It is because the Limitless Supplier is giving you and I the strength to carry on loving our spouse daily.
As a result of this, our mouths are satisfied with good things like Psalmist said in Psalms 103:5
Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's [strong, overcoming, soaring]!
(Amplified Bible)
So we honour the name of the Lord for the daily strength to overcome the life challenges and difficulties. Hallelujah be unto His mightiest name. Amen.
To round up, today’s praise service, I will like to sing this song:
Awa ta duro d'Oluwa, A o tun agbara wa se, A o fiye goke bi idi, A o sare kii yoo rewa, A o rin are kiyo mu wa.
