Background Check on God





When someone gives you a promise or says they will do something for you, sometimes, to be sure that they will deliver their promise you may want to do a background check on them. If from your background check on them you find out that they do not have the capacity to deliver on their promise you would no longer put your hope on them or their promise. Have you ever thought of doing a background check on God? 

If you ever try to, these are some things you will find out about God:

1. God is Self-Existing – He doesn’t depend on anything to exist, rather everything else depends on Him for their existence.

2. God is Infinite – Nothing can limit Him. Time, space, location cannot limit Him. 

3. God is Immutable – He doesn’t change His being, promise, and purpose. He can never reduce to become less God. His Word is yea and amen.

When God gave His promise to Abraham, He was willing to confirm it to Abraham that He will surely perform what He was telling him. There wasn’t anything else to swear by but Himself. When God gives you a promise, it is a sure word. You can take it to the bank and it won’t bounce. Stay on the promise He has given you. There is a sure word for you entrenched in His Word for every situation. The Word of God is equal to God. You cannot separate God from His Word, John 1:1. They are one and the same. He watches over His word to perform it. Isaiah 55:11 says “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” 

Numbers 23:19 says “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” 

 Luke 1:45 says “And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.” 

In John 6:63 Jesus said “it is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” 

Hebrews 4:12 says “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” 
God Bless you

The Greatest Revolution Nigeria Needs in 2024

What you’re about to read is a summary of the major conversations that took place in my mind as I listened to the wonderful session by Mrs Ndidi Ukaonu at The Platform event held on May  1 st ,  2023.   1.0 Clarification of Terms: An Intrapreneur is not just someone who is working in an organization. That’s an employee. Not every employee is an Intrapreneur…..just as not everybody who starts a business is an entrepreneur. The major difference between an employee and an intrapreneur is in how they view their work and carry it out.  Just like an entrepreneur, an intrapreneur employs innovation in his/her work.  A certain mindshift needs to take place for an employee to shift and evolve into an intrapreneur. Mrs Ukaonu dealt extensively with this in her session. This is the greatest revolution Nigeria needs right now - The Intrapreneurial Revolution .    2.0 The Great Need for This Revolution: 1. A. Intrapreneurship boosts national productivity – The more we have intrapreneurial

11 Phenomenal Leaders/ Mentors I have worked directly with/ under (Part A)

Bishop FEB Idahosa (All Time) – Bishop FEB Idahosa is a great man that I have been privileged to meet and be trained and inspired by. One thing I remember very well, is how Bishop FEB made me and other leaders of Christian Fellowship International meet with great ministers of God when these ministers came for Church of God Mission Conventions and programs. I mean people we only see on TV. As a student at that time, those meetings were such a great blessing. Later on as a CGMI Model Church Pastor, we had great times and meetings with Bishop FEB and his lovely wife – Rev. Laurie Idahosa, where we brainstormed, prayed, shared God’s word and were impacted to be better leaders. The very first time I travelled on a plane was on a flight to Lagos from Benin with Bishop FEB. He still inspires and blesses me till today.      Rev. Prince Arheghan (1999) – I entered Benson Idahosa University around August/ September 1999 and one of the best things that happened to me was joini
