My Summary of Bill Johnson's Book "GOD IS GOOD" - Part N



Our knowledge of God should take us to Him.

The size of God in our eyes must always be bigger than the devil and all our problems.

We should not miss the opportunities we have to give God the sacrifice of praise in moments we don't understand or exactly like what is happening around us. 

Faith doesn't deny the existence of a problem, it only denies it a place of influence. Our faith needs to endure in times of trials. We don't get the peace that passes all understanding until we give up our right to understand. 

God is attracted to weakness and brokenness. Not broken and depressed but broken because of our tenderness to Him. God wants us to seek Him for His promises to manifest 

When answers to prayer come to a yielded heart they release greater strength. 

There are times when our love for God can be measured by what we hate. We are supposed to hate the things He hates. God hates sickness and disease 

Sometimes we may be in dilemmas like John the Baptist found himself but we must learn to focus on what God is doing (scripture based theology) and not on what is not happening in our lives (experience based theology). 

We are living in the realities of two worlds. We need trust in God's goodness to survive. Expecting to see God's goodness keeps us from fainting or being swallowed up by what we are going through, Psa.27:13.

We value the outcome of situations but God treasures the process; as it reveals our devotion to Him. What we really believe about God becomes evident in trial.  

Our yielded soul is an indication of hope for healing to the world. We are to reign with Christ and Christ rules to serve. We are to serve with the heart of a king and rule with the heart of a servant. We rule to protect (by executing judgment on evil) and we serve to empower others.

Miracles happen entirely by God's grace. We don't need to panic in the process because we are assured of the outcome; all things will work out together for our good. 
We shall stop here right now and we shall conclude with the next post.
Thank you for reading. Please feel free to share with others.

The Greatest Revolution Nigeria Needs in 2024

Image
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

  I'm sure you must have seen designs containing quotes that were made during church gatherings or some other events. Something like this: In this blog post, I will be showing you briefly the basic system and structure used in the church I attend - Church of God Mission International, The Historic Miracle Centre, Benin City.  The aim of this post is to inspire and guide any church media team that is interested in either setting up such a structure and system, or beefing up the structure/system they have. So let's dive right into it!    There are basically 5 Whatsapp groups that have been created:   I'll briefly explain what happens in each group: CONTENTS is where people jot down quotes during the service and post.

GRAPHICS UNIT is for those who design the quotes they receive from the review team. Designed q

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

Image
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
