PASTORS ARE HUMAN TOO!

By
I stood up to teach in our midweek service.
The first thing I asked the church to do was to go ask someone "How was your day?".
Everyone went around asking, shaking and patting each others back. Some even hugged themselves.

I smiled as I saw it all. Guess what, no one came to the pastor to ask that simple question
'How was your day?'. Yet! I was tired and it had been a really hard day.
Pastors and Medical doctors may have
something in common- people believe they are fine as long as they breathing!
You are quick to ask your pastor "Are you
praying for me?" But have you ever told him
"I am praying for you".
You know how to accuse the pastor of not visiting you but have you ever stopped by to check on him and his family?
You tell the pastor that you are going on
vacation but have you ever wondered when last he had a break?
Your pastor smiles at you telling you "It is
well with you" when at times, it is a prophecy for himself.
A pastor can officiate a wedding just after consoling a bereaved family (Can you imagine
that emotional switch- yet he must be
stable).
Your pastor is human too! Trust me, there
are sundays he did not feel like coming to
church but he still did! Some of the lovely suit covers the pains.
The year is coming to an end and I have seen pastors quit because of depression (true!).
You can put a smile on your pastors face as the year comes to an end! Buy gifts for your pastor and his family too.
I have simply told you what your Pastor
would never say!

$40b drained from External Reserve in 10 years, says CBN

By
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has lamented that about $40 billion was depleted from the nation’s external reserves in 10 years due to the taste for imported goods by Nigerians. To stop bleeding  the external reserve, the CBN has urged Nigerians to begin to process raw materials so as to get more value and earn more foreign exchange. According to the CBN governor Mr Godwin Emefiele, “exported raw materials such as crude, wood, cocoa amongst others whose end products are later imported, are being sold cheaply and bought back at more expensive rates.” He said the level of the external reserve will be significantly beefed up if fuel which takes up 20 per cent of Nigeria’s import bill is locally produced. Defending the decision of the CBN to support the real sector, Emefiele said the apex bank “is convinced that the sector has sufficient employment capabilities, high growth potentials, contributes significantly in accretion to foreign reserves, expands the industrial base and divers

BE BLESSED BY THE STORY BEHIND HYMN Higher Ground

By
Higher Ground Lyrics I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining every day; Still praying as I’m onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven’s tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where those abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven’s tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. I want to live above the world, Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground. Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven’s tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But sti
