O HOLY NIGHT- A GOSPEL MESSAGE TO START YOUR WEEK BY ONE OF MY MENTEES- PRINCE NSOFOR- PERFORMING ARTISTS AND WRITER

Image

 

 

O Holy Night..! It was jubilant singing and exultation in all spheres of Creation when Christ was born..! While the shepherds watched their flocks by night, they saw the Heavenly Heralds that proclaimed to them of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ; the Son of the Most High God! They were made clairvoyant at that time to see the Heralds and learn about the birth of Christ…, they fell on their knees out of fear of the Greatness of the Event…! For they were deeply afraid but were consoled by the Heavenly Heralds to not be afraid..! After which the proclamation of the birth of Christ was made to them…! Then men were very simple and childlike to believe the messages from the Shepherds, so the shepherds were specially chosen as the best tools for the proclamation of the birth of the son of God! It was over 2,000 years ago when the world was going into premature disintegration as a result of the sins of men that weighed upon the earth and was leading it towards the channel of premature disintegration. The Almighty Father out of Love for a few who longed for the Light but could not make it unaided to the Luminous Realm as a result of the darkness that encumbered the earth severed a part of Him in the person of Jesus Christ to come as an emergency Act of Grace to first of all raise the earth with His luminous Divine Radiation beyond the funnel of premature disintegration and then save those longing for the Luminous Kingdom by bringing them His Message of Enlightenment and Love! When He came down to the earth, accompanied by the Star of Archangel Gabriel (the Radiant Star), the three wise men who were kings/rulers saw the Star of Bethlehem or the Radiant Star; as called ones who were meant to protect our Lord Jesus Christ with their earthly powers and positions in the fulfilment of His Mission on earth. They saw the star and traced it to where Christ was born, but did not fully recognize their call to protect the Truth Bringer; Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ grew normally like every other child before He finally embarked upon His mission of showing mankind the way to the Kingdom of His Father through His saving words, as He once said: “Not those who call Me Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of My Father, but those who do the Will of My Father..!” This Will of His Father is what Christ actually came to show us through His Word of Salvation. Since all those Called Ones, Prophets and Messengers sent by the Almighty Father were all killed and were not heeded, the Almighty had to send His Own Son, as described in the parables..! But sadly enough His Own Son was equally killed by the very people He came to bring help through His Word! They saw Him as a troublesome Truth Bringer who took all patronage and power away from them, the Priests. So they had to plan his elimination. He was killed and the whole story was turned around; that His blood is what washed away and will wash away the sins of man and not His Word that brings redemption through observing It and following the way to self-atonement/redemption and development shown in the Word. Actually this was done by those who killed Him, in order to still retain their powers! If It was His blood that was needed to wash away man’s sins, why was He not killed at childhood for His blood to wash away man’s sins without allowing Him to pass through the trouble of growing, recognizing His mission after the baptism by John and also visit to the Wilderness, and then without Him troubling Himself by bringing knowledge of the Will of His Father to Mankind! God is not a God of imperfection and injustice..! It was a crime mankind committed against the Godhead by Killing the Son of God! That is why the Curtains of the Holy of Holies had to tear apart, in the reactions of the Nature Beings to the evil incident..! A heavy curse could have fallen upon mankind if not for the prayer of Christ: “Father forgive them for they know not what they do!” And people these days, no longer have sense of judgement to know that you do not forgive a right action but only a wrong action done against someone..! Only those who recognize this action as a sin against the Godhead is this prayer of intercession by Christ going to bring salvaging help..! Those who believe in His blood washing away their sins are just those He referred to as calling Him Lord, Lord. They are those who do not want to bother themselves about knowing the Will of His Father and doing It in order to inherit the Kingdom of His Father; as he rightly stated: “Not those who call Me Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of My father but those who do His Will!” You must know His Will before you are able to do It! And that is why Christ came to teach us The Will of His Father through His Words, but He was killed! This is the time we remember the Love shown to us over 2,000 years ago by the Almighty Father, by the birth of a Part of Him upon the earth: Jesus Christ, to show us His Will to follow through the Saving Words in order to inherit the Kingdom of the Almighty Father, since we neglected and even killed all those sent earlier by Him as described in the parables… The Love of God Almighty pours down upon the earth and strengthens those striving for the good, through the Radiation of the Star of Bethlehem or the Radiant Star! Those who are not striving towards the Light experience this Loving Ray in form of bad experiences where they pass judgment upon themselves, because they are not striving in accordance with the Radiation of the Pure Divine Love poured out into Creation at this time..! They are actually not homogeneous with these Rays…,
To prepare ourselves to receive of the Radiation of the Pure Divine Love that will be poured out to Creation – , we must open our souls in humility and in all Childlikeness. We must also swing in Purity, as Love does not tread where there is no purity, for they go hand in hand. Above all, practice the teachings of Love Christ brought to us, then you will get purified from within to receive these Pure Rays of Divine Love that Will be sent to strengthen everything and everybody striving for the Good and towards the Light of God!The Message of Love Christ brought is actually the Key to inherit the Kingdom of God; for His Kingdom, Paradise, is full of Love and harmonious living, and for us to inherit It, we must have learnt how to live in Love and in harmony with one another..
 
FOOD FOR THOUGHT –  Why is it that we humans while signing a serious business contract or a legal paper, we tend to be very careful and logical to the minutest details, but when it concerns the most important thing; which is our spiritual salvation, we tend to be carefree and believe whatever we are told and dictated to, without passing it through logical examination and inner reflection! Why should this really happen to us..! We are not meant to be slaves to ourselves but masters..!

HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ZIMLINK?

Image

Zim Link aims to promote the free exchange of information and knowledge with local people through film, media and photography.

Our first project will be to travel to Zimbabwe and use film and photography to empower individuals to work together to create better understanding of the world around us. We will join together with our brothers and sisters to learn and transform our understanding, creating new links to encourage a better understanding of the planet we live in.

As part of the trip we will be taking camera’s and equipment to be donated to some of the village schools so that children can have them to work with. We will be exchanging skills in web design, blogging and social media with the schools. We will also be documenting the journey and creating a short film to share with Zimbabwe and the world.

This project will be run in collaboration with Media4youth and has the potential to create new partnerships with Zimbabwe and empower individuals and organisations to express themselves through various forms of media. It will have both economic and social benefits for both societies. Zim Link promote the active participation of local communities in development and understanding of other cultures, through education, understanding and empowerment.

FERDINARD LAWSON- MY INTERVIEW WITH TONY TOKUNBO FERNANDEZ OF AFRICA4U IN CONJUNCTION WITH ZIM LINK

Image

 

 

I was interviewed by Tony Tokunbo Eteka Fernandez from AFRICA4U in conjunction with ZIMLINK Organisation ( UNITED-KINGDOM) who congratulated me for winning the best author ( BEFFTA AWARD. 2013) and also for being an inspiration to many young people out there especially on the social media ( Facebook). MR Fernandez, also interviewed me on how I was able to turn my life around, considering some of the challenges I had to overcome to become an author and motivational speaker and if there is a chance for me becoming a role model or mentor to some of the youth within the ethnic minority by empowering them to turn their lives around as well.
I began by saying that, life itself is a challenge but the question is how an individual see and perceives the challenges of life will determine what they do and how they overcome it. It is vital that society appreciate and value the future of our youth by focusing our attention on some of major challenges facing the youth of today. Until we are able to do this, we will never be able to help them to overcome some of the complex challenges facing them such as drug abuse, crime, violence, sexuality and poverty. 
Some of the youth are now having an identity issue, not actually discovering themselves and because of that, they Lack their self-confidence, developing low self-esteem (their worth in life or purpose in life) and majority of them have lost their hope in society. The only way these challenges or issues faced by our youth can be address is by them having the following four things:
• Having mentor ( positive role models in their lives)
• Discovering themselves as individuals ( their unique identity)
• Discovering their purpose in life( why they are here and where they aspire to be) 
• Discover their interest ( talents and gifting )
• The youth should be ready to learn some positive things from their peers, family and society in general.
Are you an organisation working with youth?
Are you a youth and do you have a mentor in your life 
Do you want to be inspired to discover yourself and to improve your self-esteem? 
Then please you can email me at info@ ferdinardlawson.com or inbox me.

LIVE YOUR LIFE TO INSPIRE SOMEONE TODAY.

THE RISE OF A NIGERIAN RADIO AMBASSADOR LEGEND IN GERMANY- MR TONY AIRHENBUWA

Image

My name is Tony Airhenbuwa but i am often referred to as TONY AIR by friends and fans, I am the  Programs director at AFRICAN HERITAGE on FM Radio 96.0 in Hamburg Germany and originally from Edo State Nigeria

.I  am passionate about  good music, entertaining, and hosting ceremonies and started The Programme  “Whats up Naija” in the year 2010 on TopAfric Radio, Hamburg, Germany

My aim was to create  a platform to communicate and discuss issues about Nigerians in Diaspora and at the same time entertain them with good music and interviews. I am passionate about letting our communities and Nigerians back home know about Africans making us proud in Diaspora. , I called  the programme  WHATS UP NAIJA as a way of projecting the positive developments  in my home land and at the same time create a sense of unity, belonging and social harmony among Nigerians all over the world

I felt  inspired to start the show because  I believe no one can tell your story better than yourself and to entertain/inform Nigerians in Diaspora get the latest news, music and African artist that come to Germany to perform.

I have interviewed the likes of  MC LOPH, J MARTINS, DUNCAN MIGHTY, FUSE ODG, CASTRO & NANA BORO, MEMBERS OF NIGERIA DELEGATION ON NATIONAL PLANING TO Germany, MOJE QUEEN FEMALE FOOTBALL Team FROM NIGERIA,Wizboy and many more.

Show business has always been part of me and coming to Germany has opened the way for this dream come through.

, My skills as a Compere and MC  has also helped me to overcome being nervous on Air. And the fact that I enjoy listening to music helps me keep the show lively.

The show has really changed my life in so many positive ways., and I am very grateful to all my fans all over the world. Without them there will be no WHATS UP NAIJA, and Tony Air wouldn’t be known all over.

Most of all I am grateful to God and my family The best is yet to come and I believe i will be able to create more wealth in the near future, through my passion for music, Radio presenting and as an MC/Compere

.  My advice for fellow Africans living in Germany is to get themselves properly integrated in to the German society because that’s the best way they can better their lives.

They should also try to learn the language and seek information for skills that can uplift their standard of living.

i was honoured at the Nigeria Europe Award (NEU) in Spain as the Best Radio Presenter of the year 2013. Best Radio presenter of the year award at TopAfric in 2013, Merit Award in 2011 for a job well done on Radio as presented by Ambassador Okoye of Nigeria embassy. Watch out for my next show on FM 96.0, its all about WHATS UP NAIJA. my contact is, whatsupnaija@hibceurope.com

ROLE MODEL OF THE WEEK- LULU OMOAGHE- PERFORMING GOSPEL ARTIST AND COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR

Image

 

 

Born in the city of Benin, western Nigeria as the 3rd of many siblings, Lulu realised his love for music early (Age 8), largely influenced by legendary artists such as the Jacksons, new edition, boyz II Men and Stevie wonder. He says his ability to sing came naturally and as such he recognises the fact that he has been given this gift as the key to fulfilling his PURPOSE.
However it was his transition to becoming a Christian in August of 1994 that marked the turning point in his musical history, from singing in choirs, to being one of the founding members of the Nigerian Gospel group Positive Change notable for their uncompromising lyrics and soothing sounds reminiscent of Gospel greats such as The Winans, Commissioned and Men of standard.
Lulu’s musical abilities transcends exercising his vocal cords  as he is responsible for penning some of the most heartfelt , hard hitting  songs ever written , clearly evident in his debut single titled ‘Hope Again’ which was released globally on itunes in December of 2012 . Indeed he fits the biblical metaphor that says “You make my tongue like the pen of a ready writer” (Psalms 45:1).
Songs I write are aimed at two things; to stimulate minds and change hearts.Essentailly; we must be instruments of positive change for as long as we are able to breathe. The music is just my own way of enforcing that change!

As a person I have been largely influenced by Jesus – the love and compassion he showed to the world at large remain a big part of  who I am and what I do… not just in the dedication of my life to him…but learning that until we begin to show that love too, we haven’t really tapped into the meaning of true Christianity.

INTRODUCING COME TO NIGERIA TRAVEL MAGAZINE – SETTING THE PACE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

Image

 

 

“It’s all about letting the world know and see what they are missing”

The concept behind COMETONIGERIA.COM came up in order to let the whole world rediscover the abundant wealth of opportunities Nigeria has to offer and to encourage tourism and its potential role as a major instrument for socio-economic development. We believe that by doing this, we will be able to open windows of opportunity not only for the locals, but also for the tourists for interaction and cultural exchange.

Nigeria as a country is the most populous country in Africa and the eighth most populous country in the world with a population of over 140 million. Tourism is relatively a budding enterprise in Nigeria but owing to Nigeria’s potentials, it has undergone a gradual but progressive evolution in the past three decades.

Nigeria is a country greatly endowed. It is blessed with warm, sundry climate, over 800 kilometers of fascinating beaches and evergreen vegetation in the South, while in the North, alluring landforms overshadows savannah grasslands. Added to these are the interesting natural features in form of water falls, springs, hills, some mountainous areas with temperate like climate and a range of special and common species of tropical wildlife.

These, coupled with wide market opportunities, diverse socio-cultural heritage that gives the nation its uniqueness and the hospitality of the about 120 million people earn Nigeria the sobriquet, GIANT OF AFRICA.It is almost impossible to deny Nigeria its prime of place amongst the richly endowed potential tourist destinations in the world.

For these and other common reasons, we decided to create an avenue through which tourism in Nigeria would be properly and extensively rebranded, thereby open up the gate for tourists to come in.

COMETONIGERIA.COM is not an affliate of any government ministry or private body but we wish to work with everybody to promote Nigeria’s natural, artificial and cultural attractions readily available all over the country.

Our roles at COMETONIGERIA.COM are:

  • 1. To promote and market Nigeria to leisure and business visitors.
  • 2. To advocate quality improvements to tourism infrastructure and services.
  • 3. To maximise the benefits of tourism for the improvement of the country
  • 4. To work closely with a number of key partners to achieve our aims and objectives.

Nonetheless feel free to contribute to the development of the site and send us your comments and suggestions including personal reviews and pictures of your trips to Nigeria.

Thanks.
CTN Teams.
