"Central banks don't have DIVINE wisdom. They try to do the best analysis they can and must be prepared to stand or fall by the quality of that analysis."- Eddie George (Governor of The Bank of England from 1993 to 2003)

We do use wisdom when speaking to people who are mature in their faith. But it isn't the wisdom of this world or of its rulers, who will soon disappear. We speak of God's hidden and mysterious wisdom that God decided to use for our glory long before the world began.- 1 Corinthians 2:6-7 

Good Bye, Good Night Dad!

It is with a sad and heavy heart that I do this post as a tribute to my beloved dad who passed on to glory just over five weeks ago. His funeral took place today Friday 30th October, 2009 at Ado-Ekiti in Nigeria.

Dad's death was a shock and huge blow to us his children, relatives and friends. We will miss him so dearly, but sweet and fond memories of him shall always remain in our hearts.

We love you dad, and we thank the Almighty God for your admirable and sacrificial life, much more we thank the Lord for taking you to glory, into the bosom of father Abraham. Rest on oh beloved dad, for even in death you win, and you remain precious to us and to the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.”- Psalm 116:15

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,- John 11:25

 “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”- 1 Corinthians 15:55,57

A Rare Gem is Gone. Adieu Daddy!

A Good Plan For You

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.- Jeremiah 29:11 

A wise man once said: "If it is good, it is God; if it is not good, it  is not God."

The Story of Joseph:

Joseph had a dream, it was a God-given dream about his future, and it was undoubtedly a great, though far fetched and envy-provoking dream.

Peace, Be Still!

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!- Psalm 46:10

A wiseman once said: 'Only the still can still the storm.'

Do not fret;
Do not worry;
Do not tremble;
Do not be troubled;
Do not be afraid.

Picture of the Day

As the Earth spins on its axis, the sky seems to rotate around us. This motion, called diurnal motion, produces the beautiful concentric trails traced by stars during time exposures.

Partial-circle star trails are pictured above over Oregon, USA last month. Near the middle of the circles is the North Celestial Pole (NCP), easily identified as the point in the sky at the center of all the star trail arcs.

The star Polaris, commonly known as the North Star, made the very short bright circle near the NCP.

"Only the still can still the storm."- Dr. David Oyedepo

...a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown? When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.- Mark 4:37-39

...And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.-Hebrews 11:4

The Chaff Must Go

The House of God is a threshing floor, the place where all is threshed out before the Lord. All our chaff, our vanities, our emptiness, is being got rid of, all that really does not count. No chaff here; nothing that is not real, genuine, true, solid; nothing that will not contribute to building up.

God is after that which builds His house, or, to change the metaphor, the body. He is after the corn. The chaff must go. In our very relationship to the Lord amongst His people, as forming His house, we find He is winnowing, threshing, getting rid of our vanity, our unreality, our chaff. But in so doing He is getting reality, He is getting what is solid, what will stand.

Pause & Examine Yourself

Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?- Job 40:2

It is plain and utter display of foolishness for anyone: wiseman, intellectual, academia, scientist, atheist, fortune-teller, sooth-sayer, diviner, spiritist to challenge and contend the existence, power, authority and sovereignty of the Almighty God.

Only fools say in their hearts, There is no God.- Psalm 14:1

One Step

Encouragement is the oxygen of the soul.- John C. Maxwell

Foolish people with all their other thoughts, have this one too: They are always getting ready to live, but never living.

Your success will start when you begin to pursue it. To reach your goal or to attain success, you don't need to know all of the answers in advance. You just need to have a clear idea of what your goal is.

He Will Complete It

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;- Philippians 1:6

A wiseman once said: 'God is not the God of half measure, He is the God of full measure.'

Whatever project the Lord begins, He always completes; whatever thing He starts, He always finishes. He never leaves a project half way done neither does He fails to conclude a work.
