13 DAYS TO 30!

Waoh! The big 30 is here!! First, it took a bit of intentionality for me to process my thoughts and emotions. I mean, I had to sit and hold several conversations with my tripartite -Spirit, Soul and Body- in order to understand what I thought and feel about turning 30. I want to scream right now. Places my hand on my chest Lifts my head up to the ceiling Says, I LOVE YOU, LORD. While I can't exactly tell why I am so excited about the figure 30, I am certain that I love how it feels to clinch this pretty even number without carrying pouches of regrets in my tiny heart. The last 29 years was more than I prayed for, somewhat dramatic, and massively fulfilling. Looking back on this 13th day to 30, I can't help but realize that I am blessed beyond description. I am one of those privileged few who have their Purpose, Passion, Productivity and Profit connected. By that I mean, My career path is both my calling and my business.

WHY DOES HE EVEN PROMISE?

When I newly got saved at age 9, each time father made me promises, I will be sooooo excited. My eyes will pop, I will almost want to tell anyone who cared to hear.  The things he said to a 9 year old girl where too big for her mind to fathom. I couldn't wait to grow up. I had to see, be and have all He promised. I carried that auto excitement response mode into my teen years . Father won't stop painting fancy pictures. He won't stop saying high sounding things and I believed all of it. Eventually, I saw most of what He said happening before my eyes. I could say like the psalmist to my onlookers, "Taste and See that my Lord is good". Teen years ended at 19. I had my 20th birthday and everything changed. I had some significant experiences in my 16th and 19th year that gave me a rude awakening. I found that His promises, those sweet whispers came with  price tags. Some of which He wouldn't say until you are about to pick th...

Today, we will hear from a single, fruitful, and fulfilled Icon. She is the author of the new book titled, SINGLE, FRUITFUL, FULFILLED. Please help me welcome, ChinyereDistinguished Anoke. Anne:  Hi Chinyere, It’s an honour to have you here with us on Young and Relevant series. I can imagine you are giving us the dimple flash right now. hahaha Chinyere :  Hahahaa, Thank you very much for having me. Anne:  What inspired you to write a book addressing singleness? Chinyere:  In as much as I have always desired to author books, I never imagined that I'd write a book on singleness. Writing the SFF book - "Single, Fruitful, Fulfilled" was inspired by God after my relationship mess. As a matter of fact, the book itself is just a small subset of the SFF vision. Anne:  Hmm, powerful   Chinyere:   The SFF vision is focused on addressing a whole lot of issues associated with Singlehood and empowering Singles with the rig...

THE PRICE FOR RELEVANCE

© 2018 EAGLE’S SOAR CONFERENCE /THEME: YOUNG AND RELEVANT/ This is a sequel to an earlier post . Please read it here before you proceed We access glory when we impart lives. This is also what it means to be relevant. This kind of impart isn’t born from vain ambition or a need to be noticed by the world. It’s born and driven absolutely by aligning with the will of God! In the above scripture, Jesus points out two simple steps required for this level of relevance/impart. In the above scripture, Jesus points out  three simple steps required for this level of relevance/impart. 1.    Fall to the ground:  The Greek word  (pip'-to) means to fall under in prostration. This talks about surrender and Humility. The lesser bows to the greater remember? The greater is the creator. You are the one to surrender; not Him.  You can’t enter into valid relevance if you are still full of yourself!  See Philippians 2:5-8 If you are ...
