ISUIKWUATO: PROMOTION OF TOURISM THROUGH ORAL LITERATURE: The Proverb

Mbe si naya mara n’ogu German ga-alu yakwara okpu igwe no’ge:

(English translation)

Explanation of the Proverb

With the exception of punitive expeditions organized by the British Colonial administration on some dissidents and uncompromising tribal groups during their advent in Nigeria, Isuikwuato people: Ndi-Isuikwuato or the Nwanneukwus, knew very little about war organized and fought in such a massive scale as the World War II.

SOUL FISHING: Golden Silence

CALOM DAILY DEVOTIONALS BY REV. JOY OKARO

Text: Deuteronomy 27:9 (Amplified)

"Then Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, “Be silent and listen, O Israel! This day you have become a people for the Lord your God."

"Be silent and listen, O - Fix your name here." Be silent and listen, hear God and people. Hear them and depict self control. Let your silence bring blessing to you and others, and glory to God. There is time for everything including time to speak and time to be silent (Eccl.3:7). The busyness of our lives has made silence to be a special habit we need to deliberately cultivate to help us to be quiet in our everyday life and desist from unnecessary noise. We are in an era where people think the use of much words and actions is sufficient to manage themselves and control others. Some think much words and many activities make them more spiritual. Let your silence be golden!

Prayer Point: I receive wisdom for blessed silence in a busy world.

SOUL FISHING: Leverage in God

CALOM DAILY DEVOTIONALS BY REV JOY OKARO 

Text: Revelation 1:5-6 (Amplified)

"and from Jesus Christ, the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who [always] loves us and who [has once for all] freed us [or washed us] from our sins by His own blood (His sacrificial death)— and formed us into a kingdom [as His subjects], priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."

From our text today, we see the leverage we have in God through Jesus Christ in time and eternity. Mankind has to take God by His word (Hebrews 4:16). Anyone God's word (Jesus Christ) cannot save needs his own 'god'. It is either God and His way or nothing, as regards leveraging Him. Celebrate and maximize the leverage!

Prayer Point: Thank you God for the leverage through Jesus Christ.
