DELAY DOES NOT MEAN DENIAL



The Almighty God heard the cry of the Israelites, like He has heard your cry and sent a deliverer in the Person of Moses. After series of plaques they were finally released from bondage. What a Joy! They were going to the Promised Land – a Land flowing with Milk and Honey.

“The shortest distance between two points is a straight line” according to the laws of geometry but because the ways of God are past finding (Romans 11:33) He sent them through a longer route (Exodus 13: 17 – 18)

A journey that would have taken according to scholars between 11 to 40 days, lasted 40 years with many dead and only two adults of the age of 19 and above arriving at the Promised Land. Why did God do that?

Many believe their mindset was not right hence they perished in the wilderness, with the exception of Joshua and Caleb. As we look unto God to take us to our Promised Land of Miracle Marriage, Health, Business Breakthrough, Well Paying Job, Miracle Baby etc, we should continue to trust in the Lord.

In trusting God, we also need to trust His timing for “In His time, He makes all things Beautiful” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) His Time not ours: as the song writer said; “He may not come when you want Him, but He is always on time”

Most importantly we must trust the path He is taking us through, He is our Shepherd and knows where the Grass is Green. Robert Frost in his poem “The Road Not Taken” wrote “Two roads diverged in the wood, and I – I took the one less Traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”

Today and Always, may we receive Grace to trust His Timing and Follow His leading and be conscious of the truth as Mary and Martha found out that “Delay does not Denial”

 

Remain Always Blessed and have a very Refreshing Day!

KAIAMA DECLARATION - WHITHER THE STRUGGLE

Image
THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and ...

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called ...

DELTA EPZ - TOMPOLO BREAKS SILENCE

Image
Delta EPZ and matters arising my take is on justice, equity and fairness – Tompolo So much has been said about the $16 Billion Export Processing Zone (EPZ) which is meant to galvanize Nigeria’s economic growth through adequate gas processing and supply, using our dear Delta State as the hub. For one, I am happy as a Deltan that this laudable project is being planned and nurtured in my time, especially on the heels of our fight for the need by government to industrialize and enhance our economic well-being in the oil-rich Niger Delta Region. Nonetheless, I am not persuaded by the nebulous and loudly-echoed ‘economic and industrial gains’ slogan being orchestrated by some forces hiding under the EPZ Project to re-launch a back-door move for the acquisition of lands belonging to the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State. In this regard, I stand on the side of my people as I have always done, to ensure that the voice of reason was r...
