A TOKEN

Have you ever seen a pregnant woman in labour? What makes one know that such woman is in labour are the signs displayed by the pregnant woman.A token is simply something serving as an expression of something else put it as a sign or symbol.
A token can be a symbol of covenant between man and his creator as this can be evidently seen in the book of (Genesis chapter 17:9-11). The Father of fathers made a covenant with Abraham to make him a father of many nations hence, there was an instruction to circumcise every man child in his home in order to make the circumcision a token of God's covenant with him and an everlasting
 one.(Genesis 17:13).
  Also, in the book of Exodus chapter 3:1-12 the Lord appeared to Moses to deliver His children from Egypt and He being with Moses in showing all the miracles to Pharoah will be a sign that He sent him.Several plagues befell Egypt as a result of his stubbornness, to the very point that the Israelites were asked to put the blood of the Lamb on their doorposts in order for the angel of destruction to pass them over (Exodus 12:13) signifying that the Lord was with them.
   Furthermore, in Genesis 9:11-16, a covenant was made with Noah that the Lord will not cut off man from the surface of the earth again with water hence, giving a rainbow as a token of the covenant signifying that whenever He sees the bow in the cloud,He will remember His everlasting covenant between Him and every living creature.
   In conclusion, before there will be a token from God to us there has to be a covenant,accompanying the covenant is a set of instruction that needs to be carried out to the last letter from God to us,fulfilling these instructions brings about a token i.e a sign from God as a seal to his covenant and also as a remembrance to making the covenant an everlasting one.

PRAYER POINT:Lord Jesus, make an everlasting covenant with me and let me know instructions to it's fulfillment in order to see a sign that it is established.AMEN

FUEL IT UP!!!

 When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fuel u

BEHIND THE SCENES

 If someone wants to write and pass an examination, I want to believe that a successful candidate will want to ensure that no stone is left to guarantee such individual's success. I remembered a scenario I found myself during my final examination. You know that euphoria of "I am now a finalist" did grip me and I failed to prepare adequately before the final examination day and the funniest part was I was trusting in seat formation as we always say then in Uni as I believed that if I could have a good seat arrangement I would tap from my colleagues who were more knowledgeable. Behold, a very strict invigilator was in attendance that fateful day and the whole plan was distorted. Remembering this issue and going through the books of Esther, Daniel and 2nd Chronicles gave me a deeper understanding of the three words "Behind the Scenes". What does this even mean scripturally? Before I give a definition I would like to make another illustration to buttress my earlier

The Price of Destiny

                              In General terms, the price attached to a product or service is the value of such product or service. This explains why priority is placed on some products or services than the other. The fluctuation in exchange rate of different countries to another gives a deeper understanding of the value attached to different country's currencies. The economists say the price of a commodity confers value on such commodity. A person with a thousand dollar undoubtedly has more purchasing power than another with a thousand naira.  Speaking of what the price of destiny means, we can say it is the value of destiny, the sacrifice needed to pay before attaining a glorious destiny.When I mean sacrifice this is not some sort of ritual but what we have to let go or put in place to attain our glorious destinies because as children of God, we all are entitled to glorious destinies as this is His will for us all. Let's have a quick look at those who paid the price for their
