ARTICLE ONE - EPISODE 3

 EPISODE 3 

Chioma immediately accepted the great task. She received burdens and began to tend to them. She began to raise voices of intercession unto God and prayer altars to God on behalf of her family and, of course, she put the headmaster's family in prayers too. When she got to SSS3 class,  things began to turn around for her family. Rapid change began to take place. A young missionary came to her village together with his family and held a crusade. The power of God moved mightily and Chioma's father was one of the converts. He visited the missionary's house and was followed up by the missionary. His way of life changed and he began to work hard on his farm. He received a grant from an agricultural association and got a bigger farm. He became fruitful and his produce multiplied. 

Chioma's brother who do steal, repented and accepted Jesus. He became an apprentice at a welder's shop and was doing very fine.

Chioma's mother found favour when a rich man suddenly visited the market square and saw her selling petty things. The man asked her what certificate she had. It was a shock to him when she told him that she was priviledged to have an OND certificate but, when she got impregnated by Chioma's father (she was actually raped by Chioma's father), she had to leave town to settle down with him in the village because her parents threw her out and she would like to take care of her baby. So, the rich man later got her certificate and placed her in one of his companies in town as the Administrative secretary because, she studied Business Administration and had a very sound result. Hmmn, little wonder, Chioma was so sound.

The Headmaster taking care of Chioma got promoted and relocated to a city, together  with his family, to be the principal of a prestigious secondary school.

What later happened to Chioma? With the results she had seen, would she be satisfied and slack in her intercession or would she continue? 

Many people think that after we have prayed to God and received answers to Prayers, there is no need for serious fellowship and intercession. They slack in their worship of God and sit back to enjoy their possessions. Even, some will forget that it was God that provided for them and would attribute their success to their own power, diligence or hardwork. Will Chioma follow this trend? Watch out for the next episode to know more. God bless you.

LESSONS FROM ARTICLE TWO

 2) Prayerlessness: James 5:17-18 "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."  Even after delay is for an appointed time, we need to understand when its timing is over, in order to avoid prolonged delay. Elijah prayed earnestly that it would not rain and it did not rain on ground for three years and six months. In 1 Kings 18:41, Elijah prophesied about a sound of abundance of rain and to bring it to pass, he went to pray earnestly. 1 Kings 18:42. Prayerlessness prolongs delay but prayer brings it to an end. Hannah went up to Shiloh to pray unto the Lord and made a vow. I Samuel 1:10-11. She had been delayed in Child bearing; the Lord shut up her womb. She prayed unto God to remember her. We need to pray unto God. Are you experiencing any form of delay, pray unt

CAUSES OF DELAY (CONT'D) LESSONS FROM SECOND ARTICLE

 5) Sin Proverbs 14:34 "Righteousness exalteth a nation: But sin is a reproach to any people.  Sin is a major cause of delay. Some people experience delay, not because God wants it but, because they have sinned. Moses and the children of Israel experienced delay in the wilderness, because of the sin of disobedience. Num. 14:34 "After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise." Joshua 5:6 "For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey."  Disobedience is sin and it can lead to delay in the fulfilment of God's promis

LESSON TWO (SECOND ARTICLE)

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO. In the article, Prince and Mrs Adeyori faced some tough times which were as a result of a single challenge which was inability to give birth after wedding. They were abused and mocked but the Lord came through for them at the appointed time; after eight years. One can imagine the shame they would have had for eight years. It was not an easy ordeal they had to pass through, but God helped them through it. You, also, might be facing a tough time presently or later. It might be in health, finances, relationship, family, place of work, business, academics or spiritual life. May I remind you that tough times never last? God is always there for you. What he require of you is for you to call unto him and trust him completely. In Jer. 33:3 "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Yes, you have been calling, but may I submit to you that he is never tired of hearing your voice? Han
