God's Word To Me/You

About the Book

I was praying and meditating one day before the Christmas day on my bed about what God would have me to do in the coming year – asking God for direction. The Lord reminded me of one of my habits, how I will write my notes during church services, revivals and bible studies, and how I will create a section for further studies on the theme of the sermon. God made me to realize that He gave his Word and spoke his Word to us his people but after each service or sermon we never meditate or work on his instructions. That if his people would meditate on his word, they will have success in all areas of their life, because his word transforms through revelation. How can we get the benefit of a medicine we keep in the cabinet that we never used? The book of Habakkuk 2 verse 1 talks about while we are looking and waiting on what the Lord will say to us, verse says that the Lord says write the vision down. The word of God gives us and creates vision but sometimes we receive revelation after. Joshua 1 verse 8 tells us “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”

About the Author

I was born in Nigeria to a Muslim father and a Christian mother. Both of my parents loved each other so much that they will help prepare for each other’s religious celebrations and as well be together as one throughout the celebrations. It was never a problem to my father that my mother would take me to church every Sunday; and my father never insisted that I should attend any Islamic or Arabic schools. He prayed for me always that I should know God by myself and that God will reveal Himself to me. I was eight (8) years of age when my father died of diabetics; before he died I was his favorite among his children. His death was a terrible loss for me, I could not bear the separation and I was really traumatized by his death. On the eve of new year as we were preparing to go to church for overnight prayer or vigil to welcome the new year 1969 my mother told me when I get to church that night I should tell God whatever I wanted. At the balcony of the church the officiating pastor asked us to make all our requests known to God; mine was simple ‘I used to see my dad in my dreams, and sleep and sometimes when I would be awake’. I prayed that night and said God, ‘my father is dead now and I am alive, that God will grant him rest and I do not want to see him again in my sleep or in my dream. I asked God to separate the living from the dead ’. Since that day I never dreamed of him again. That sort of developed my faith in Christ from that time. So when my mother died four years later though I thought life was hopeless but I had believed that with God all things are possible. Now I have gone far beyond my imagination at her graveyard and I still believe the best is yet to come.
