A Great Chat with a Great Man
His name is Mr. Uwaifo. I have known this man for about 18 years now and He is one of those God used to inspire and motivate me to take my walk with Him to another level as I was wrapping up my secondary school education. I'll leave that gist for another time. For now I want to just share some things with you that this great man said to me and some of my colleagues when we bumped into each other in the office some time ago. I usually jot better after a message, so after our discussion these are the things I put down from what he said:
"The type of fire a
metal goes through determines its resistance and the resistance of a
metal determines its quality and value.
Resistance means the type of pressure a substance can withstand.
Some
people have reached that point where as far as they are ok with God,
every other thing is ok. They don't worry about anything else, no matter
what they face. We all need to get to that level.
We all need to think back and remember the things God saw us through.
God is still faithful.
I remember how someone I had not seen for so many years called me and gave me N500k just before my wedding.
When
David said he ran through a troupe it wasn't just a grammatical
expression it was a reality. He had to run and kill his way through an
advancing army (like the picture above. Can you imagine running through this army?).
When he said he leaped over a wall do you
know what He really meant? Do you know how city walls were in those
days? Do you remember how the wall of Jericho was?
Caleb
and Joshua actually saw giants in the promised land and they actually
looked like grasshoppers before them. Imagine entering a city where
every body in that city is as huge as Goliath.
Yet they were ready to go in and take that land because God had said so.
God will not use you as an experiment of failure. Archbishop Benson Idahosa.
God
has never failed before and He will not decide that now He wants to
know how to fail so He will use you to try and know what it means to
fail".
Now A Powerful Closing Thought:
As he was leaving he said something else that was very striking. He said:
"I
remember the days when we used to challenge ourselves with sharing of
the scriptures back then in Agape Force. Nowadays I wonder if young
people still challenge themselves with sharing the scriptures like
this".
Wow!
