When David decided to face Goliath, Saul discouraged him not to make that costly attempt. Goliath ridiculously belittled the small Shepherd boy who had no sword nor shield, except for a few stones and a sling. Eventually, Goliath's sword became a potent tool, which was instrumental in giving David the final victory over this wicked foe. The bottom line was- David's goal was a great one, but it was valid! The main goal for this huge attempt was for God's Glory and not for selfish ego! His affirmation at the valley of confrontation with the Giant revealed his topmost goal and intention. “And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.” 1 Samuel 17:47  This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand;...that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 1 Samuel 17:46 This great goal got a divine backup! God had no choice than to back up this small shepherd boy. In...

LET’S PONDER TOGETHER! Wonder 1! When this boy slave was sentenced to prison, Providence brought him out and he later became Egypt's prime minister. How will Potiphar who sentenced him and his dear deceitful wife describe Joseph’s story of repositioning? Maybe, they'll say- so, we became Instruments of elevation to a stranger!😔 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Who cares, That is now history! . . . Wonder 2! After years of disdain and provocation due to barrenness, Hannah later became a mother of seven, of which Samuel became a child of destiny! What later became the lot of taunting Peninnah? I guess, listening 🎧 to Hannah's prayer of Thanksgiving in 1 Samuel 2:5,👇 (They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.) We can perfectly relate what later became Peninnah's portion. . . . . Wonder 3! When David overcame all the battle from the philistines-( enemies w...

                 UNITY IN DIVERSITY! Sometimes it's really amazing to see how the love-bond, fellowship and single-mindedness exhibited in some families trigger sporadic progress. Such bond, I must confess, is a replica of Unity, found in the Trinity!🥰  The Trinity exhibits distinct roles and functions, Yet, each co-exist in perfect Unity.  Likewise, within a family, individuals have different personalities, talents, and roles, but they come together to form a unified whole. The diversity within a family contributes to its strength and richness, as each member brings something unique to the family dynamics. However, It's saddning to see this first created institution, called family, falling apart because of disunity. When true fellowship and communication of “let us…” has displayed in the discussion session at the creation story is truly embraced and executed in the family unit,  I'm sure, it would go a long way in solving fam...

𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐑𝐄𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐀𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐀-𝐀𝐙 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐘𝐋𝐄! Fellow colleagues representing the fourth estate of the realm, here is a reporter down history lane, who has no facts to his news story, he probably heard a rumor via his long antenna, then, decided to broadcast the message, immediately through social media. I guess his Editor knew better when he tried to restrain him from sharing a shallow news story, The Editor asked Reporter-Ahima-az thus; " why will you run, seeing that you will have no reward for the tiding?" But, all to no avail; the constraint did fell on deaf ears!. This ignorant and inexperienced reporter responded- "Come what may, let me also run and carry tidings!" In his mind's eye, he thought he could out-run and out-smart the messenger who had a message with the full gist, because the latter was fully abreast of the event that transpired at the scene in question. In addition, the real reporter had a wonderful attribution to ...
