"Nigeria is like a vehicle. While you are fixing the brain box, someone has removed the tyres.
After fixing the tyres, you discover that the
brake system has been damaged. When done fixing the brain box, you find out that the battery had been stolen.
Done with those and about to start the engine, you realise that the Kickstarter is faulty.
You fix the Kickstarter, you discover that the plugs are gone.
When done
with all these fixes with relief and excitement, and finally about to leave the dangerous spot, you then realise that the headlight bulbs are dead too. While trying to figure that out, it begins to rain. Unfortunately, the wipers are old and unable to wipe the rain water cascade
on the windscreen. For safety, you decide to park the car and sit out until the ebbing of the downpour, and as you attempt to roll up the windows, it is discovered the power controls aren't working."
That's the frustration one can sometimes face while trying to fix anything in
Nigeria."
That's the reality on Ground, but, we are not deterred. We are moved by faith and not by realities.We walk by faith and not by sight.
We trust God to change these seeming #REALITIES into what He desires for is as a nation.
Psalms 21:2 MSG
You gave him exactly what he
wanted; you didn't hold back.

1 Samuel 2:1 MSG
Hannah prayed: I'm bursting with God-news! I'm walking on air. I'm laughing at my rivals. I'm dancing my salvation.
She was "walking on air" she was bursting with ecstatic joy. It's the kind of joy that can make anyone restless
D life of a chosen is always a call into d life of conflict. A call into d unknown, into a life of d mysterious

An assignment dat brought"conflict" into her life
2..
To be chosen creates conflicts.
-“Conflict” means a clash of two or more things. ,in this context, clash of two natures.

D way God works is unfathomable. Sometimes, He uses humour to achieve d ultimate goal.
D king was so bored & in a twist of d discussion he was havin with "Assistant Elisha" brother Gehazi, he asked in V4
📌
2 Kings 8:4 MSG
The king was talking with Gehazi, servant to the Holy Man, saying, "TELL ME SOME STORIES OF d GREAT THINGS ELISHA DID."
📍
The king had said, tell me a story
That woman's story was not d only story Gehazi knew.
Records have it that Elisha performed 16 miracles.
Parted the waters of the Jordan River (2 King 2:14)
Purification of the water source for Jericho (2 King 2:18-22)
Protection of the prophet by two she-bears (2 King 2:23-25)
Water for the army of Israel and success over the Moabites (2 Kng 3:16-25)
He was d king of Assyria.
He was known as d "d great king"
He was so powerful nations feared him. He used d gods of d conquered territories as wood to flame the fire around him during winter.
He had other gods thrown into trash cans and burned with fire 🔥 (V19)
Mortals were no match for him.
gods too were "running" from pillar-post seeking for help from other manmade gods 😂. None could withstand him...none could stop him either.
On a day like this, he turned his attention on Israel and Israel's God. He had just finished dealing with Judah, Israel's sister.
Now, a king with such a RESUME would easily be on top of the world, after all, he had some gods behind bars, others, he used as firewood.
