Overcome by Jesus

I stepped out of office to get to National Hospital. Brother F assisted me with money incase i had challenge with ATM. Upon trying to withdraw from ATM, was given a NGN1,000 note with a part chopped off. I immediately went into the bank. The lady, customer care directed me further in. Earlier, she told me their machine would be up, when i checked and it was temporarily out of service. Was directed further to the cashier who wanted proof eg sms alert that i indeed tried to withdraw from their ATM and am not just a random visitor. My phone was home, forgot it in the morning. Gave her my word, she should have faith. Thank God she did, else hopefully, the lady i met earlier would have supported by His grace. Upon departure, i hailed the security man at the door who supported me and encouraged me when i came earlier to try withdrawing and was seeing temporarily out of service. Upon getting to the Hospital, succeeded in paying my bill of NGN1,500. I waited for quite long just to be made...

Spent more time studying PHP server scripting programming language continuing from where i stopped the previous day. Stepped out after 10am to National Hospital, was suppose to have appointment by 11am, being 22/03/2017 as they had written on the card. Showing card in the hospital, appointment booker revealed to me, it is Gastro, Thurs was written at extreme left so i should come back tomorrow. Unhappy about the development. He changed 22 to 23 after i wasted my time, money and resources including energy and emotion. Gastros occur on Thursdays was revealed to me by Wardens. I have been coming on Wednesdays for long, over months, perhaps close to a year to see Dr Falodun and Dermatologists. All of a sudden being told about Gastro and Thursday and booking was not right... I made more enquiry about Gastro was told it's some sort of lab if i understood well, and bill is like consultation fee of NGN1,500. Bounced, mindset is get to office soonest so joy shall be on faces and in peop...

Fellowship topic was about evangelism. Pastor asked what we could do so we improve the church and the output of our evangelism? He shared a passage in the bible where it was mentioned, that God answers and blesses people who bear fruits. Many pray shaking heads, binding the devil stopping their promotion and other things. Few in the church ever avail themselves to share the gospel like on Saturdays. Some that get determined may see themselves shaky around eve of the D-day. Our church is a fancy building, lets stop deceiving ourselves and improve quality of worship and service unto God first and foremost and stop putting activities and building of church structures number one. Many expect the pastor only to be in the lead like for praying for the sick. It is duty for almost any christian God has charged us with power. Amongst benefits of evangelism is restoration. Many are afraid to go out and engage in evangelism like on Saturdays. Many get occupied with activities such as marri...

Stepping back home from Garki, i got some oranges for me, my neighbors and the family. Let's enjoy some juicy oranges. We were having evening fellowship with the Danmagaji's; Pastor E.A. Adeboye shared a story how he was travelling to see His Father in the Lord. Because he forgot to get the gift he wanted to bring, he got some oranges. When his Father in the Lord asked him if he got it on the way, with the intention i.e. while he was still journeying from afar, he said yes. The Holy Ghost started pricking him, convicting him, based on the intention of the question, he was lying. He argued, but realising no point to this, he opened up and confessed. His Father in the Lord exclaimed 'Holy Spirit'. We should learn to be sensitive to the prompts from the Holy Spirit, and avoid our hearts and conscience seared by sins we ignore till they become habitual. Grandma shared we the younger generation we shall wake out of slumber, endeavor to give respect to those that are ah...

Sunday was a good day. I hailed Sunday Baba Peace, glad we are in a day named after him. Whilst preparing for service, I got a call informing me that it is Baby Tinu's birthday. Glad to hear and i was invited after service at Hope Hall Parish Gwarinpa. Baby Tinu happens to be the baby daughter of my mentor Pastor Biodun of Hope Hall Parish. At RCCG Faith Chapel, powerful service was about Evangelism. One of the greatest way to grow in spiritual power is via fulfilling the work of the evangelist. I shared with George while resting at home after service; after wishing Tinu a happy birthday and singing songs for her and clapping hands with smiles; eating the cake, i shared that i got a lot of blessings via evangelism. Because of evangelism, i have gotten the skill of approaching almost anybody as long as i am firmly determined. Used to be introverted, often drank a lot to get 'psyche' to approach ladies. But now, evangelism has given me the ability to easily meet peop...

IT IS GOOD TO CLEAR MOUNTAINS. THANK GOD FOR A NEW DAY. GENUINE REPENTANCE - 18 Mar 2017 We were somewhere. Seemed like abroad. I and my friend Adebayo and Dami were in a car and behind a two storey building that was like a plaza, museum, hall and hotel, opened to the public. We were accessing the building via a laptop, from the back. At a point, i retorted, why have we been behind this building all this while looking at things from the back? My question did not come off coherently, cos as i was asking, i thought we were probably accessing via backend and i got myself believing, yeah, backend. Then i finally asked, may we look at things from the front cos i wanted to view the front and appreciate the view. That got us driving towards the front. While going, in a loving brotherly way, Ade helped in massaging my fingers was very relaxing. I wonder if it was the massage Ifeanyi started in office the previous day that triggered this. He didn't go long started teasing i am rela...

Since the previous day, we have been having issues with ntel and connecting to the internet in office. We called support since 16th, confirmed we had our validity ending 17th of Mar, 2017. Though, unfortunately, we got a cold feet on the 16th and 17th, couldnt browse. Affected work, productivity and relationships. Thank God for his love. 17th, went and added more units and we were up and running. Good ntel was smart enough to take initiative to call back and follow up on status of connectivity and upon complaining about validity and make up for missed day, lady said would see what could be done about it. Ntel's office address in Garki, was told No 40, Ladoke Akintola Crescent Opposite Garki 2 Market. I got there, there was no such thing opposite the market gate. Worst is the fact that to no avail, i didnt see Ladoke Akintola Crescent, rather, Ladoke Akintola Boulevard. Asking around was pointed to a Pharmacy, Skylark or so, said in that same building is ntel office, like 5-10m...

At church, was blessed with a gift of the shoe. Shared my testimony felt i was loved and cherished for by the church. My sister Rita is back, thank God all is well with her. Pastor Sola too was back, missed him thank God was back from his journey. I got home, tried to put on gas cooker to cook some yam, then gas ran down. Didnt have money to buy, it's after 9pm, the guy selling could be gone. I trudged forth to his station and praise God he was around. Due to our friendship, he offered to assist with gas, whilst i give him his money the next day. Thank God things went well. Wanted to sleep was having difficulty decided to take a stroll. Prayed to God for support and Anthony came in. Good company he was helped to ease my mind cos was not in a very good mood. Besides, i didnt eat well the whole day. He escorted me out, took some air and we were back. Whilst i was cooking yam and listening to music in the kitchen, Damsha popped in had some good conversations, planned on steppi...

Had a good day and a good morning. I thank God for helping me get up from bed. I got to work, Dele was sitting down and waiting outside. Some men were working beside our office doing construction at our neighbor's. Saw them again, as they continued. Reverse to Mama Harrison's to get me and Dele some items. Thank God for leg and the ability to move. Much later in the day i was at UTC trying to find a phone to buy. So i ran into PETER CHIME! Was glad to see me same with me. Connected me to his guy a phone repairer, said could help me get what i am looking for. I shared with Peter - this guy, that is me, has budget of N10k to get an android device supporting 3g network. Repairman shared he aint got the one now, could come tomorrow. Should budget about N20,000. Appreciated the offer, got my sim from the test offered by some boys i met earlier and decided to head back office wise. Peter Chime is my old friend from way back in school in secondary. NTIC alumni just like me great t...

Woke up it was way after 7. At Area 8, i branched at phone repairer. He gave me word that phone would be ready and the money to collect back because he didnt succeed in fixing the phone. Kept to his word. Happy we were able to finish dealing with that issue fair and square. Thank God was able to live the quality of agape love, trusting in all things. 1 Cor 13 is a great lesson for the human soul and interest is going to be built for practise to live a godly life through Jesus Christ. Got to work did css, php and html. Learnt how it is very important not to get angry easily cos it blocks the mind and retards innovativity. What could take a few minutes might end up taking hours to complete it. Hung around with Baba Peace after meeting with him just after stepping out of my office. He is a friend of mine from the neighborhood. By the way, close to the location of our meeting, much earlier in the day was with Nura who was about to venture in his first volunteer act with Life ...

I stepped out late missed Baban Wahli just by a few minutes. Went back home prepared special garri i had be chewing during the day. Though after some feeding, Life Builders Initiative came back from Common Wealth program at the National Assembly which involved School Without Walls with large quantity of rice. I got myself some in containier i used to carry garri, and o boy, i did enjoy the chicken as well. During the day, collaborated with Dele and succeeded in making the library to work, if no data is found upon a search, it goes online and fetches from the internet. Boss was glad, blessed us. Journey to Area 1 was assisted by my boss. Journey started, i strolled round went round. Met few new faces and the day was interesting. Later during the day, a friend of mine was playing a game on android, and he believed he was the actor. Poor planning, exited area close to the dawn of the morning. I reached home when almost everybody was asleep. Important lesson learnt: learn how t...

I woke up, i still wanted to sleep more. Decided, could skip Sunday school self. Then heard 'bgm', a vibration and a spasm under my skin. Realized this could have come because of my weak resolve. So, i decided to go against the decision. Wondered what time it was upon checking, wow, the day is just breaking, a few minutes after 7. I decided on getting ready, putting systems in places. Warmed the rice-spaghetti from the previous day and the stew. Had a good shower i was warming up for the day. Contemplated on what i am  gonna put on. Wanted to iron but upon checking my locker, i found could mix white and a white. White top with message Jesus loves me and a white trouser i got as a gift from Uduak from Church of Christ. White top was self designed in caftan like fashion. By the way, in church, during testimony time, i shared i am thanking God, for his spirit in us and creativity, he gave and i used to design the cloth. Shared i was happy the people were present without t...

Woke up way after 9am. Expecting Friday to come. This is Saturday morning, thank God for weekend. Way into the morning he came. I did work on cleaning making the house look more like an abode of sons of God. Friday came, while was on pc, though was busy, he assisted me in mopping God bless him. In his Final year at CACTS just needs a few support and extra hands to support his ministry and education. To God be the glory, a fund raiser motion was moved and actions were invested in coming up with a letter. If the Spirit of God touches you, and you want to sow a seed into the life of our brother Friday with his theological program, pls you could contact me now on jesus.servant.barka@gmail.com lets get holy growing. A bit later, i got into the kitchen becoming a cook for all. A question, i wanna make potatoes, how do u prefer it, cooked or fried? Damsha - anyone. Friday - anyhow. At first, i wanted to go with boiling to economise oil, but opted for frying and making chips. Hey, this i...

Praise the Lord! On this faithful day i met my friend za Kasim in charge of fruity affairs. A pleasant surprise and surprise was indeed pleasant! Shared warm regards and welcoming and warm was the welcoming. Went that way to check on phone repairer and run other UTC affairs like get lemon or is it lime, mix with spirit get high? ha! Got generous offer. Dike Dim was on communicando. At ace of high , this arab looking motherlover approached wanting some of my lime. We got on a rhyme, bandage on the eyelid, jealous lady gave him a bottle kiss. Should not be hugging another babe, girls are envious! A christian fulani, thought he was indian or something. Chatted, had fun, played mind games; got high; officers; madam; public, drama & acting; played tricks; manipulated, manipulations, manipulators & mindsets; events and things happening and unfolding... Parted upon the meat affair, still succeeded in hustling a 50 out of me God bless him. He some sort of blood; some meat in the...

Dusty particles were covering the two cars belonging to my neighbor. I decided to aid us clean one out of it, the one we used the previous day. In the process, Anthony advised me to put a little water on the rag which i was using. I added water, was wary and careful as i went about the act didnt want to bring a scratch even while i was dusting. Then my neighbor stepped out. We decided to leave. Asked our gateman to assist in washing the other vehicle as we were stepping out. Was not happy as grinding machine was close to window, and it was switched on first thing in the morning. Position ought to be at a place where it wont affect others. Via grinding with the machine, dust arose and covered his two vehicles. On the express, drivers showed some funny colors. I insisted that we speak words that are constructive, believing the good we want to come forth. Showed appreciation for the lift, reduced my distance and my expenditure. God's blessings shall follow in Jesus name. At ...

I and Baban Wahli moved together, thanks to him thank God he dropped me at Tipper Garage. Over there, i shared paper with some divine message i wrote the previous night. A guy took it personal, gave me his own sermon. Blessed brother. In Jesus name, we shall escape mental psychological slavery many of us have found ourselves in via our leaders and some churches, so is conclusion. I shall be sharp and fast like light to switch between golden states and head heavenly in Jesus name; and so shall be the portion for those that love God mightily. Praise God was able to recover my pam slippers after almost a month at the repairer's. My stomach upsetted me for quite some time i thank God i found relief at home. Should have taken orange before leaving in the morning could have helped but went for nuts, off plans with friend who came visiting. Ask and shall be given i appreciate LBI for supporting me with cossy bottled water at office while was thirsty. Through out Garki had issue with...

In the morning wanted to step out together with neighbor but was barely on time. On my own with bro J by my side, journeyed to Galadima. I entered a government bus to Wuse for N100 and from Wuse got Area 8 for another N100. Getting to office on time, i decided to go to Utc to check phone repairer. Substance was still unready, he suggested his boy is coming could check in the afternoon. At noon, phone was with him, though, they havent succeeded in getting the screen talkless of changing it. Assured if i would wait till Thursday, it would be ready. Shoe buddy whom since morning left when i visited, leaving me think he left to get my slippers, told me stories. 8th of Mar must be a good day in Jesus name with my shoe ready. At office, deleted some old junks and info, then did an update of the profiles of the two new workers on LBI: Amara and Tolu. Cool personalities they are. Could see more about them at http://www.lifebuildersng.org/about_us/meet_our_team.php at Administrative ...

Woke up this morning my dad was preparing to travel to the South East, Enugu. Came over for the weekend to spend time with his boys. Presence of dad, good one, felt nourished and taken care of. Miss mama. Stretched out of the bed put things in order. As dad was about to leave, gave me a huge gift of a mango i felt blessed. Ebere gave me cold pure water much later in the day while i was trying to go towards Pastor Gabriel's. Happy to have met her. It's been long havent seen her face and her countenance was welcoming full of smiles, light and cheerfulness, some warmth as well. I stepped out of the house in my caftan and headed towards church. COCIN and environs was filled with presence of people. Got to church, saw Basil, wanted to sit near him, usher instead took me way forward. Two gentlemen were by my side, had a good sunday. Shook hands, greeted, worshipped and danced together to God's glory. Prayed for one another, more praises to God our Father. Earlier at home, ...

3rd Mar Continues Went to work together with my dad who dropped me around Area 8 park and garden. We journeyed round avoiding holdup close to Tipper Garage. Was the first to report to office, holding big mango. Ifeanyi came later while me and Dele were chatting while sitting. Ifeanyi wanted mango told him nah till later. Guy working on my phone, he was of good report. I called, went to his place, no response, was out. May God help us all to learn to keep to our words in Jesus name. Gabriel was with us much later during the day. With his phone had whatsapp and Life Builders Initiative group on it, integrated with more contacts. Amara succeeded in motivating me to invite my friends to Facebook Life Builders Initiative fan page which i did and wow, as of evening saw some positive response from invitees. Before going to bed, watched video about love on youtube. I do have an understanding of what love is and the attributes, just like many of us, i pray and ask God, charging us, t...

After the last day of divine encounter that occured in the month of february, crowd of people were giving life to Christ. Some where running to the pulpit. What a day. Earlier, was at home. At a point, my sisi sister Zizi, came bye to we oui , Von D was not in, Barka and Friday just coming. No light, condition made us to go to Lungu twice. First time, Friday mistook my adapter for laptop with Damsha's, carrying it. We had to come back home. And wahla their was sisi Arzi, coming with a whiz in. We had to leave, the meeting was a brief one, at a point, was hanging out with drama grouping. We were acting, made me realise how much more of life we try not to act culminates to what appears to the eye as sampling. Was diving on the ground, the pastor, the man of God fire within him running his heels, we shall be restored unto God our true loving Father, in one unity worshipping with all we have got, so may it be accomplished in our lives successfully in Jesus name. So, during ...
