All of creation

From Mammoth Mountain with the most snowfall in the world

To the Amazon with rainfall like unending love

And don’t forget the Iroko tree in Nigeria that towers above

From the countryside to the exquisite cities abroad

Even the beautiful Salto Ángel waterfall knows you are God

Imagining the savage, blistering cold in Vostok

And the Lut Desert with heat temperatures untold

From the shattering wind gusts in Australia so bold

To the devastating humidity that Bangkok unfolds

I will search for your special hold

Regardless of the rugged terrain or treacherous roads

The world is in your hand and your presence is everywhere

I can search the entire universe, to you nothing compares

You took only six days and even had time to rest

The psalmist said it best; all of creation speaks of your greatness …

Myself

Myself

Can I? Should I? Would I?

Whole-heartedly serve God, Do I?

A question I ask myself

I will never tell another lie

Wow, that’s another lie to myself

Self-gratification, High five to myself

All things must become new

So I said bye to myself

They told me about Jesus

Consequently I seek for myself

My testimony is something I cannot keep to myself

Meditating on his Word

It preached to myself

Pleasing God by my faith

I have to believe for myself

Jesus died for our sins to save the world and myself

Can I? Should I? Would I?

Whole-heartedly serve God, Do I?

A question I ask myself

Stewardship

Give an account of thy stewardship.  

       

Who is a steward? 

A Steward is one who is employed to transact the business of another, as his agent or representative in the business in which he is employed.

Ø  His duty is, to promote, in the best possible manner, the interest of his employer. He is liable at any time to be called to an account for the manner in which he has transacted his business, and to be removed from his office at the pleasure of his employer.

Ø  God treats us as such, and removes us at his pleasure and disposes of the property in our hands, which he would not do did he not consider us merely his agents, and not the owners of the property.

1 Chronicles 29:14 But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you have already given us!

Ø  A steward cannot be idle

Ø  A man that is idle, is dishonest; forgets his responsibility, refuses to serve God, and gives himself up to the temptations of the devil. Basically, the idle man tempts the devil to tempt him. Idleness is a snare or trap to the soul.

Ø  All men/women were created to be God's stewards for kingdom business

GOD IS LOVE

  

Love brings unity

Love is kind

Love can attract

Love makes one shine

Love yourself …

Love the Church body

Love the Holy Word

Love to meditate & study

Love conquers all

In whatever hatred brings

Love stands out

In every little thing

Love endures long suffering

It might be hard

Ask & receive

Trust in the Lord

God is love

Love is sacrifice

For he so loved the world

He gave his only son Jesus Christ

Don’t give up on love

When it seems it’s lost

With God there is hope

Because he paid the cost

Love is forgiveness

He forgives your sins

Hear the knocking on the door

Let Jesus Christ come in

Love should be unconditional

That is the honest truth

Love is love

Be a living proof

Farewell

_______________________________________________________

I plead thee farewell in your new chapter

May our memories bring you nothing but joy and laughter

Together we all jumped over many obstacles and bites from the viper

I hate to see you go, but God is in control

He is the captain of your faith and the master of your soul

Put Him first and He will quench your thirst

Put him last and you will repeat the class

I will sincerely miss you

May all your dreams come true

Yes sir!

May God lift you up over your oppressors

Keep on reaching out for your aspirations, even if you face the unknown

The sky is your stepping stone; your first step sets the tone

Your future will be brighter; I confirm it in Jesus name

He is the author and finisher of your faith, that’s simple and plain

May our memories bring you nothing but joy and laughter

I plead thee farewell in your new chapter

Umbilical cord

Much appreciated, I have been elevated and separated
I have been set aside, consecrated and sanctified
My soul realizes as I arise, brought back to life
I was once blind now I can see, to Him I give glory
I was once lost but now I am found
I send my praise towards heaven with magnification
Embracing your love, acknowledging you are God
May I forever be attached to you Lord
Please don't cut the umbilical cord

to be continued...

Who am I in God’s eyes?

I am special, created with a purpose

Highly favored, protected from the locust

I am blessed with life after death

I do my best in faith, God does the rest

I am protected, guarded by angels

Sanctified, set aside, consecrated for the Lord

I am heavenly sent, a blessing to others

The salt of the world, a Christian scholar

I am Beloved, truly loved by my Father

He orders my steps; I’m bound to go further

I have been washed by the blood of Jesus

I am a child of God, I repent he forgives us

He blesses … he blesses me, myself and I

 I will bring glory to God, the Most High

A chosen generation in the presence of devastation

We are love, joy, peace and no segregation

I am here to help save the lost …

I am prepared to be a bridge for the lost to cross

Moreover, I am a fisher of men, women and children

I am a friend to the friendless who is in need of a friend

I am filled with the Holy Spirit for discernment

I am thankful for his provision and my contentment

I am in the Lord and the Lord in I

I am SOMEBODY in God’s eyes

I am more than a conqueror through Christ

I am of God who multiplies … He gives life

I am kind, patient and working on my long suffering

I am not perfect, however, I lack nothing

I am called to love and to serve my brethren

Brethren, we are called with one vision

We are all in one body with many calling …

I am talented as I have been blessed with talent

A talent is a gift in the form of an investment

God willing, I bring many happy returns

Keep in mind, if you play with fire, fire burns

I am a disciple in Christ, learning to be wise

Being wise is securing your soul then your life

I am free from all demonic shackles

I am bought with a price, so I’m set loose

I am a believer and a believer in the word of truth

I am not boasting, but truly humbled in His presence
Heavenly Father it is you I reverence 
It is you Father I live to satisfy

I am Beloved, specially sanctified in God’s eyes

Learn how to cook egusi soup

Learn how to cook egusi soup ... 

Egusi soup, also called melon soup is an absolute delightful delicacy enjoyed all over West Africa, especially amongst Nigerians anywhere they live.
It is arguably the most popular Nigerian soup, especially in the Southern part of that country.

---

Are you new to Nigerian foods, and trying to learn nigerian recipes, then egusi soup is a sure place to start from. It is easy to cook. It is quick to cook too. The real egusi soup is prepared from egusi seeds, not pumpkin seed.
It is a spiced thick soup cooked with or without vegetables and fish or meat. It is highly nutritious, and very satisfying. Using egusi seeds will ensure you enjoy the unique flavour and satisfaction of agusi (egusi) or melon soup.
Where egusi or melon seeds are not obtainable, some have used pumpkin seeds, and even pepitas. Egusi can be obtained from most African food shops.
This soup is prepared basically the same way all over West Africa, but with some cultural and regional variations as in most dishes. We shall describe the most common or generally acceptable method of cooking egusi soup here.
