My First Words

There is time and season for everything under the heaven. Many have asked me for my blog and expected that I should have been one of the most proficient bloggers in town, but I believe the bell just rang over the blogging grace.

Let it be known that my interest will be as varied as am led by God, my eternal muse. My dependence on the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in whatever you read on this page shall be absolute, even if and when the discourse is secular, environmental, political or professional. 

A whole lot of the time, you will find me exploring issues in the scriptures. As a pastor, teacher, mentor, brand consultant, strategic management fellow and trainer, the entirety of my being is immersed in the power and anointing of the almighty God Himself. So, if you need encouragement, hope, grace, a word in season, a nugget of enlightenment, or a kernel of prophetic unction, travel with me on this pilgrimage into the myriad wisdom and grace of God.

I was tempted to rename this blog 'The Verbalist's Podium', but I have decided that I will leave it 'The Way It Is'. Quite apt! Isn't it? While the blog name is a  phrasal consideration in the public domain, I cannot really deny that Uzor Okoye's Etu Odi, somehow tickled me in giving thought to the blog name. 

Well, to you all out there reading me, let's take our seats before the big screen: the scenes of life are about to unfold.

See you on the other side............wait, thought I called this "My First Words"

YOU WILL GO FAR! Pharaoh said, "All right. I'll release you to go and sacrifice to your God in the wilderness. ONLY DON'T GO TOO FAR. Now pray for me." Ex 8:28 (MSG. Emphasis mine). Have you ever experienced a regressive progress before in your life? Have you ever known the destructive force of being pulled back by the chains, just at the threshold of breakthrough? That is where the enemy wants you: making motion without significant advancement. Pharaoh's tactics is to let them go, but not too far. He aimed to give the people a semblance of freedom, but with conditional clauses: You are still tied in bondage though you think you are free. To go away from slavery and servitude, yet have the reins pulled in to draw us back into the abyss of failure at the whims and caprices of the enemy is the strategy the devil has employed from ages past. It's time you choose to have true freedom than the freedom of the world that comes with terms and conditions ...

GOD WILL HELP YOU! Welcome to a new month. Many will be sending April fool messages, but I want you to know that God never fools you. There are times in our lives when we are confused, feel left all alone in the world, rejected, despised, troubled, tempted and fallen. Such times we mostly groan hoping for succour in the face of enemy attacks, seeing no sure way of escape if a miracle doesn't happen. God says He will always show up for us, make Himself strong on our behalf so long as we have are mind stayed on Him. Let me encourage you to not be discouraged. Don't despair, because God will never leave you. He has promised to save; He remains 'THE VERY PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE'. All God requires of you is to trust Him enough to call upon Him. He declared in Psalm 50:15, "Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." It doesn't matter how difficult the situation is, He will sort you. Let not the devil lie to...

THE ARK IS ON ITS WAY----THE BLESSING IS RETURNING I SAMUEL 5 & 6 II SAMUEL 6:12-23 Moses was instructed to build the ark of covenant by in Exodus 25. This became the symbol of God’s presence among the people. As we journey through the national life of Israel, we see the ark playing vital roles in the territorial expansion in Jordan, Jericho, Ai etc, as well as the defense of Israel’s territorial integrity against hostile and marauding nations. It was also a reference in worship for the nation, and by 1 Samuel 1:9; 1 Samuel 3:3, the ark had made its abode in a consecrated temple at Shiloh. However, it became a source of worry to the enemy as it was seen as the power behind the untamed strength of Israel, hence the desire by the Philistines to take a grab and thereby waste Israel as they desired. They cried foul at the entry of the ark into the battlefield. So they became obsessed with snatching the perceived powerhouse of the children of God. Read me clearly my fri...
