SEE THE CHANGE


This interview was in February 2004, three months after Eji Owuro was released.



When challenges come, and it looks like I should give up, I am led to, with staying strong and being sure of The Father's mercy, read my old books, look at old pictures, and see how far the mercy of GOD has brought me.

Line upon line, step on step, on purpose, I am here. And still going on, strong and steady. Here cannot even compare to the beauty of "there", as much as I am deeply thankful and privileged to have been here at all.

Whoever you are, let your hope rise again at this time. It is a journey. Success does not happen "just like that". You got here, you'll get there. And I am talking to myself too!
Raise your head up, square your shoulders, it'll occur to you that your feet have been made strong all this while, you only didn't know because your head was bowed in discouragement!

You've found it like me? Keep at it. You are not sure of it? Put in more effort at what you've found for now, it'll unfold. You are confused about it? Be your best at what you're doing now and strive to find it, you'll find.

You'll see the change. I see the change. The growth. The transformation. The metamorphosis wasn't easy. A lot of groanings, but still keeping on. Even as a higher step is being climbed now, but I see the change. See the change!

Remember that Baba Abraham laughed himself, who directly got the promise? Not to talk of Mama Sarah? Both of them! Check out The Book properly again! Remember the change they eventually saw? I am trying to say, it may tarry but it won't! Ó lè pé sugbon kò lè yè!
This has been my confidence over the years, coupled with doing whatever my hands find to do with all my might, living by the values of The Father, learning from every situation, picking that which is beneficial to me, using the method of separation, seclusion, segregation; my mind being transformed everyday.

And I see the change! Oh, I see the change! And I shall see the change! Yes, I shall!

See the change! Oh, you shall see the change!

Reflect a bit. Disallow and diffuse all the pressure pushing you. Think back, sincerely. See the change!

We shall see the change!

FILL YOUR OWN MOULD By Emeka Nobis I had boasted to Ikenna and my classmates that I could play the number five position in football. That was borne out of envy because Ikenna's football skills were hailed. I decided to tame his mouth. That was in 1992, my second year of secondary school at Marist Comprehensive Academy, Okigwe. I became the last substitution in the fifth minute of the second half of a match our school played with a neighbouring school. That meant I couldn't be replaced anymore. It was absolute tomfoolery. I ran around the pitch in a pattern similar to pollen grains in water. I couldn't even trap the ball, mostly letting it pass through the hollow of my legs to the opponents. I was playing what was called "Shorting one" in our local parlance. Football wasn't just my forte. For me, it was eating the desert before the entrée in a four-course meal.  But it was different when I handled a pen and a sheet of paper. I could write e...
DO YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE ENDLESS BLISS AND FIND LASTING FULFILMENT?  Every individual born into this world is endowed with at least a gift, with which to achieve greatness in life. It is a great pity that so many people have not yet discovered or maximised their gifts- their source of wealth, impact and influence. And unless they discover their gifts, they can't rule their world. Discover your gift(s) and rule your world. Your gift is your source of wealth. Unravel it early while you still have breath because it is your primary source of influence and affluence in life. Creativity is an asset entrusted to you as a special gift to benefit humanity with. If truly you are genuinely created in the image and likeness of God that automatically gives you the assurance of possessing creative and innovative power both to invent and to discover new and profound ways of doing things.  On this note we all @ SCHOOL OF PURPOSE DISCOVERY INTERNATIONAL have brought the FABULOUS ...
