SELF DISCOVERY

HER IDENTITY.. (Pt2)
Haven read the preceding part of this same article, one will be rightly entitled to ask the question who is a woman? Or where and what gives her identity? These questions we shall try to exhaustively discuss in the successive paragraphs of this chapter.
 A woman is generally seen as the opposite of the male sex. Hence the synonym female. She is described to be an off shoot of the masculine creation(a product of his rib). The etymology of word 'woman' is explained to have originated from the English word 'wif-man' to mean the 'wife of a man'. Looking at the above assertions, it is clear to point out that the woman is always traced back to the ideology of being subjugated under a man or to a man.
 For the purpose of a better understanding, I'll like us to relate the two basic concepts here: 'man' and 'woman' to the ultimate power of abstraction(this is because we can't really get the truth off a physical phenomena until we relate it to infinity). Therefore the 'man' here represents strength, while the 'woman' represents 'a product of the strength'. Herewith lies the identity of the woman: a product of hardness(bone), carefulness, patience, thought and organisation. Though this has never occurred to the heart of many women or ladies, therefore they live out their life assuming the roles place on them by others. This singular reason is why the world around us is facing an unfathomable rise in moral decline. Let them go back to their place of love, patience,inner strength, etc. They should form their thought from the strong principles of strength and disallow contentions against themselves..

BARABBAS

Aha!  It is not raining here,  wow!  God's awesome majesty.  We ran into the temple,  and met a tumult! The whole place was charged,  there was restiveness everywhere, but the paradox was everyone seemed to be happy,  I had just entered the Solomon's porch through the beautiful gate. I asked a young man standing there, he looked like he had seen a ghost.  I said "Shalom,  please what is happening?" he said "didn't you see them?"  "see what" I said. A crippled man has just been healed.  Wow! ...Just then Stephen rushed past,  Hey!  "Barrabas hurry help gather the people, Peter wants to speak to them." "the Lord Jesus has just given a sign,  and it is our opportunity to Preach. Hurry!" as he zoomed off.  "OK Josephus you heard that,  let's move". Then looking at my confused travelling companions I said "you will love this,  wait for it!" as I took off.

Two hours later the place was so quiet that you would hear a denarii hit the ground.  The Holy Spirit has descended upon everyone in the temple heavily,  over 4000 people were going towards Peter as if drawn by an unseen force. I couldn't believe my eyes!  Shera is in tears,  calling on the name of Jesus,  I loved the sight of it,  Shera is saved.

"This is madness!" Archipus retorted.  "What has come over both of you".  Simeon cut in "Let's leave this two love birds,  before we get infected with this God forsaken way"

I AM BARABBAS

MY NAME IS BARABBAS.

It was about 12 noon,  I was sitting under an oak tree,  opposite the sheep gate,  was waiting for Josephus. It was almost time for prayers,  about 1 mile and 3 furlongs to the temple.  Then I began to think about HIM again,  I couldn't just get him off my mind. I mean I met death face to face,  and he just almost casually took my place,  and with a smile too. "where have I heard that voice before?" "I think I have met Jesus before" this were the thoughts in my head. Oh yes!...

I AM BARABBAS

BARABBAS....

I was there,  I stood there that day.  I couldn't understand it,  even when I looked into his eyes,  there was this mixture of pain and fulfilment.  He was about to be sentenced to death!  Even the governor of our region Pontius Pilate wanted to free him.  I got the shocker of my life when he said "My Kingdom is not of this world."

My name is Barabbas. Yes the Barabbas for whom

ONE NATION UNDER GOD... OUR IDENTITY

I stumbled into a picture depicting Nigeria's coat of arms. I shook my head in pity. There was a deafening silence in the recess of my soul, which was soon overtaken by thoughts rioting for supremacy. These thoughts cycled around the identity of the Nigerian Republic.

What alarmed me about a common coat  of arms???

THE WORD

Psalms 23:3 He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him--not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake.

We have looked at psalm 23:1&2 now let's dwell on the riches of verse 3.

I want to bring out a point in verse 3

KANENE'S DIARY

Dear Diary,
Boy did I get it hot on Sunday night. Serves me right for opening my wide mouth. My father surprisingly did not end my miserable life. But heavens, he beat me up to a pulp. Diary  on Wednesday, my father and I went to see the Reverend. I entered first  and I narrated everything to him, withholding nothing. The Reverend screamed and started saying some comforting words and asked to see the proof, that is asking me to show him my body and the ugly scars that I bore, then I remembered that he is a man and he would want to do what all men probably loved to do to a woman. It didn't help that he stood up to help me out of my long sleeved shirt

 BLESS THE LORD - Tim Godferey

 Tim Godfrey releases another single “Bless The Lord” off his forth coming album FEARLESS.  
When asked, Tim Godfrey expressed how he enjoyed recording this song. He said “I always like experimenting different sounds, when this song dropped in my spirit, while we were preparing and waiting on the Lord for our FEARLESS concert that held last year on the 3rd of July, where we had Bishop Marvin Sapp as our guest,  I smiled and immediately called SMJ our in house producer and shared with him. I was really excited and I am more about the release, I can’t wait for this song that expressly describes God’s Love to be released. I’m positive it will help us bless him some more, for the battles won, and for the very life we live”. 
He further said the song was first recorded at his Live recording last year and added that Bishop Marvin Sap’s testimony on hearing the song was how much he loved it and how he would love to have it on his album.

THE WORD

               
John15:1-6

1  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

 2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

 3  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

 4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

 5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. note

 6  If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
