MOTIVATIONAL

Sir,

We kindly seek for financial assistance for little Miss Precious Edem Usoro, she is a native of Afaha Eket in Eket L.G.A, Akwa Ibom State. She is 5 years old and a pupil of Qua Iboe Nursery and Primary School, Afaha Eket Road, Eket .

I was moved to tears the first time I came across this story. This is not one of those facebook gimmicks and tales but absolute reality. Please read and help this little girl and her parents in anyway you can. 

A day in June 2013, she suddenly came back from school and complained of feeling pains in her left leg. After a few days she began experiencing swelling which has got worse recently. Due to her fallen health, she had to stop school for the leg to be attended to. The case was drawn to us when we were on family visitation in their neighborhood; the mother of Precious Edem Usoro has been to several hospitals all to no avail. The state of her health has got so bad that she has lost her left foot and may no longer walk -a situation which happened in barely two (2) months to date.

How much longer can we afford to wait? We beg not to and we will not! At this time, she needs us all to be there for her and we will. Please do find on page 5 of this letter, pictures of Precious for your perusal. We wish she would be able to take adequate treatment within or without the country as the case may be for medical treatment as the situation is far beyond our understanding. How far would we go to save a child’s life? Would we put all we can to it? Would we push as much as we can? We would all want to imagine ourselves the proud parent of a beautiful, healthy child whose first three years of life have brought us endless moments of happiness. Now picture that same child developing a life threatening situation such as this.
All of the sudden, our unbounded love for the child should lead us to dedicate the most we can to saving little precious.

It will also be noteworthy to say that we would welcome new ideas, advices, suggestions, recommendations and above all prayers. We thank you and look forward to an early and favorable response from your end to set out modalities for proper take-off as time is of essence. With your assistance we will be able to do all we can to make Precious live and not die.

PRECIOUS MUST LIVE!

Yours Sincerely

THE BOOK OF LIFE:

Yesterday, Pst Sam Effiong looked me in the eyes and asked a very profound question... Actually about 100 or more of us.

He asked a question that every sensible human being in this world should ask himself. He asked a question of which you and I must answer one day. Better on earth than beyond.

He asked; Is your name in the book of Life?

Look at this:
"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
(Revelation 20:11-15).

This world is coming to an end. Get RIGHT  with God or get LEFT behind. If you miss HEAVEN you will not miss HELL.

Confess your sins, Repent of them, Accept Jesus as your Personal Lord and Savior.
Shalom.

REST: LIFE OF FAVOR AND NOT LABOR

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake." (Psalms 23:1-3).

Life was not meant to be a place of struggle but a place of grace and favor, thus: rest. When a man walks with God, the Prince of peace comes into his life.

Once you lose the consciousness of favor, you fall under the conditions of labor and struggle. Yes, man must work to eat. Yes man must labor to succeed, but there are some who are in rest by covenant. David fought all his life enjoying conquest by God's mighty hand, but his son was a man of rest by covenant... 

"but the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight. Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days." (1 Chronicles 22:8-9 NKJ).

How do I connect God's favor, peace, rest?

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28 NKJ).

Come... Come to Jesus. He is the Prince of Peace. Accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. Denounce all covenants of struggles, all burdens of sin, all chains of suffering and accept the Peace that God gives.

LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND

LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND:

One of the most facinating principles i have gotten to learn about the U.S army is the "leave no man behind principle".

Even if a fellow soldier dies all efforts are made to bring him home. Prisoners of war are not abandoned. There is always a hidden mission cooking to bring all Americans (uniformed or not) back home.

Oh what a pride and sense of belonging! What team Spirit. Why wouldn't i be loyal to the flag knowing the we are bound by such a strong love and brotherliness.

This is the attitude Paul had wen he was writing to the Thessalonians. He was deeply concerned about their faith and well being knowing the pressures and persecutions that they where under. Even when he (Paul himself) was going through a prison term for preaching Christ, it didn't dampen his love and concern for others whose faith was under fire... Look at this folks,

"We sent Timothy, who is our brother and God's fellow worker in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. You know quite well that we were destined for them. In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know." (1 Thessalonians 3:2-4).

Paul is a model for us to follow when it comes to brotherliness and Love (even unto sacrifice). He believed in the "leave no man behind" principle knowing that the devil (like a lion) walks about seeking whom to devour. When he did not hear from his brother he was bothered and deeply troubled.

"For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter might have tempted you and our efforts might have been useless."
(1 Thessalonians 3:5).

Questions
1) Are you your brother's keeper?
2) Are you worried, concerned about your brother's and sister's progress?

 More Mercy and Grace He brings:
When I remember my past my heart always sings:
That's why am here, with testimonies, rhymes and strings:
No special skills: Just praise to the King of kings:
Lifter of my head...
Hide me in your Wings:
End time coming, folks chasing cash n bling:
Forgetting the Kingdom first above every other thing:
The mark is everywhere:
Fools still waiting for the beast:
The righteous shall live, the wicked shall taste His fist: 
Enough said..
Jesus is coming soon...
If u miss heaven, you wont miss hell!

The Blood Of Christ is potent in love and forgiveness

THE CHURCH vs THE BLOOD

 One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member of the church.

She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children.
It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans.

This is when the problem began. You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.
The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting.

As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand.
The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past.

As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak. He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was this: "My fiancée’s past is not what is on trial here. What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin.

Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?"
The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

LESSON
Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters.

Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely, then it cannot cleanse us completely.

If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.
What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Psalms 66:11-12

Just sheared this with someone that is going thru challenges. It helps me when am in a hot spot. hope it helps u too.

"You (God) brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs. You have caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment."
(Psalms 66:11-12).

There is a purpose for what you are going thru. God wants to take you to a place where you will never lack again. But first, you have got to be strong and be refined so you can manage your blessing and not be overwhelmed by it.

"For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined." (Psalms 66:10).

Life is a battle

Life is a battle
Faith is my shield
The harder destiny blows
The brighter my hope glows...

In this life not every one will believe in your dreams or convictions. The truth is not everyone should because what sets you aglow is not meant for everyone.
Oh how silly people can make you feel because of what you believe in. Bible says...
"Who against hope believed with hope, that he should become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be." (Romans 4:18).
Joseph's dreams lead him into slavery and even to prison.
Moses faith in God was tried by the murmuring Israelis time without number...
But through all of this God never failed. The battle may be fierce but with God victory is sure

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The storm never lasts forever

 HOLD ON

There is a point where you get to in life...in God, in business, etc that it doesn't make any sense giving up. A few years ago I heard a whisper in my Spirit that said "one more push". So I pushed and pushed again, and again... Then I asked, " didn't you say one more?".

A push a day takes you closer to your end destination. So 
Pray Until Something Happens.
Don't give up! You are closer than you were yesterday.

AKA Mr Hold on

BURNING DESIRE

 Our secret desires can burn like fire, but God knows them all

                                                                       Name: Mary

Origin: Magdala

Nick Name: Mary Magdalene

Resume: Ex nobody; Ex Prostitute;

Evangelist, Testimony and Gospel Carrier,

Supporter Of The Ministry Of Christ Himself.

Known by a sinful past for she was a lady of the night. Mary must have been the stain on the lips of mothers and wives when they needed an example of what a woman shouldn't be. This stigma placed Mary at the center of local gossip. No respectable man must be seen around Mary's residence or even in her company. An expert seductress,
pleasure seller, mid night delight; was she doing it out of the circumstances life dealt her or was she just a loose woman unable to control her needs and desires? That's another day's discuss. But for now, I wanna narrow the path of her desires to just "one desire". Her ultimate desire; "Forgiveness and acceptance", a sense of value. Mary broke social and (her professional) protocol and dared to show her face at a social gathering arranged for a Holy Man of God. She pressed through judgmental eyes, and condemning little tongues with a broken heart and tearful eyes. I can't completely imagine what the action in this verse most have cost her...

"Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil." (John 12:3).

Mary anointing the feet of the Lord Jesus. 

Mary counted the cost of her sins and personal afflictions and weighted it against the cost of her savings (which was the costly oil with a surreal fragrance). By her estimation the oil wasn't even enough, so she marched it with the most precious gift of all: a broken heart.

Mary believed in Jesus. She saw true compassion in His being. He was like no other man she had met (and believe me she had met them all). Jesus was pure and true.

She wiped His feet as a sign of submission, symbolizing an acceptance to yield to His authority. She had finally found a man that had what she was looking for in un quantifiable proportions; love, dignity, compassion, respect, truthfulness, Holiness...
She allowed God melt her heart, thus a precious gift to make her way to the heart of a King and a broken heart in exchange for that "desire".

Life had stolen Mary's dignity. Life had stolen her pride. And in one setting and encounter, she was gonna claim it all. Mary wasn't only forgiven her past by the Master but her story was rewritten that same day. Jesus speaking said,

"Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her." (Matthew 26:13).

I had a nasty past too. A lot of people too. But there is always that one bold moment of encounter. A moment when you not only face yourself squarely, but you face the world. This point is what will define you forever. No matter how hard it seems or how painful it is, I assure you, facing yourself, the world and God will sure bring you peace of mind and an eternal selfless fulfillment and purpose in life.

Do you have a desire? Step up... You are next.

COMFORT AT THE RIGHT TIME

Loss provokes the strongest and deepest heart break 

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. One morning, when the boy was around two years old, his father saw a medicine bottle left open on a table. He was late for work so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to it, fascinated with its color, he drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the
hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.What do you think were the four words? The husband just said
“I Love You Darling”

Mending a broken heart is the most noble act of humanity 

The husband’s totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. N0 point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who is to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship when we fail to give each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don’t multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

DRUGS, SEX, AND ALCOHOL... THE "GOOD" LIE

I couldn't get enough. 

 A couple of years ago I was caught in the chains of substance abuse. I was really messed up and I knew it. I couldn't help myself because I knew my chains were beyond me. I was dealing with depression, low self esteem, alcohol, sex and substance abuse. I hurt a lot of people, friends, family, and most especially a beautiful lady that was carrying a baby for me.

I felt sick to my stomach knowing that I was not ready for that level of relationship, or the responsibility of fathering a baby. Daily I would feel my strength leave because I had began to indulge more and the abuse was taking its toll on my mind and physical appearance. I wished I could kill myself but my addictions where too strong to let me. In other words it was my sweet pain. I could feel the weight of the world on my neck all the time. Sleepless nights, tears, bitterness, and depression where all very close and wicked friends. They followed me everywhere I went, discrediting to would be helpers. In all honesty I never imagined things could got so bad, but I do know that in my carelessness and carefree attitude to life I allowed things get out of hand.

It hurt to know that I would be a useless father and a good for nothing womanizer all my life. I knew my little girl would hate me for abandoning her and worse of all she might end up the same way I was going. Why? The truth is when parents are not there for their kids or the family is broken, that creates a space in a child's life. That space remains empty and the child spends the rest of his or her life trying to fill it up with "sweet nothings".... false love, alcohol, drugs, sex (all workings of the flesh) and the bible says all these things will lead us to hell ! (Gal5:19-21) No excuse. I looked for a solution everywhere I could think of, but nothing could break me out of the prison of my desires, lust, drugs, alcohol, and even hate for myself.

I had battered my life so much that if it where possible I would have exchanged it for another... Little did I know how possible that was.
At the time, I enjoyed no comfort, no solution, no peace, until one day I made up my mind to go and see
Jesus. I heard something that birthed a hunger in my spirit. I went to a local church and fell on my knees for

This is the actual church I fell on my knees

three days accepting my weakness and pleading with God to break my circle of addiction I had found myself in. I cried out to the Lord of Lords and King of kings and a miracle took place. For the first time in my life I understood what the sacrifice of Jesus Christ meant. I understood the pains He went through and how it related to me as an individual. I understood that Jesus cared about me and was willing to take my hand, clear my past and walk with me to a glorious and expected end. That day, I gave my life to Jesus Christ and He took all my cravings away without a day in rehab.


Few months later baby Mama and I made a comeback. She forgave me for breaking her heart and walking out on her and our baby and for the first time I could carry my baby without alcohol, weed, or tobacco on my breath. It felt so good I broke down in tears... those tears of joy I still cry today for the Lord has given my life a meaning.

Myself, my wife and our baby: Kiki

Today am a passionate Dad and a learning Husband. I serve in my local Church assembly offering my talent to the Lord in service and endless appreciation for His sacrifice for me on Calvary's cross. All glory to God. There is someone reading this that is seriously enslaved by his or her own desires. It may be not be drugs. It may be other addictions. It may be alcohol, or sex, or a cage of bitterness and unforgiveness. You might be a Christian, saved and separated, but still plagued by your past and hunted by a secrets lifestyle.

JESUS CAN SET YOU FREE.

All it takes is acknowledging that you can't make it on your own and that load you carry is too heavy for you to bear. Jesus speaking to you today says:
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:28-29).
Break the limit! Tag Him in! He is the victor that never fails.
