Some make me dance, some make me cry but this song just makes me burst out in tongues..... Hallelujah! Thank you Lord! You are indeed Bigger!!!!

Leviticus....

For some time in my life, I have had a personal target to read the bible in a year, and I have been on target. Now has my life been a reflection of all I have read in the bible?.... Far from it. Did I reach my target of completing the bible in a year, sure I did because that's actually my personality, I love to exceed targets especially individual goals.



But God is such a loving God, He just watched me and let me do my thing, I guess He said, at least its a step in the right direction and she will get the "Memo"soon hahaha. I love Jesus! But at some point I reflected on what I was doing and my real intentions and the impact it was having on me....... hmmm. It wasn't really me having those reflections, it was actually the holy spirit speaking to me. The focus at this point then changed to holy spirit speak to me, inspire me, let this word change me if I must read it, let my life change, my view change, my flesh be subdued, may my reasoning be deep, my love be genuine, my forgiveness be quick, may I be a replica of God and may my life experience the miracles that I read.

Now has all of this happened..... No, But my life is changing for good and will keep changing. I am receptive to the voice of the holy spirit, in these years of meditating on His word differently, I have equally made mistakes that I regret, but again the holy spirit reminds me of GRACE.

As I studied the book of Leviticus the past month which is one of the books in the bible I am never eager to read, I studied from a different interpretation this time which is the 'Message Bible' and I had a different inspiration. I have never been so thankful for Jesus than as I am now. I am thankful for the cross and salvation with a different understanding. All the sacrifices, the peace offering, the wave offering, heave offering, grain offering , first born vows etc Oh my! How would I have coped?

If you are yet to accept Jesus as Lord and saviour, you might want to have a rethink. The GRACE is available. Don't wait until it is too late.....

JESUS IS LORD.........

Start the Spark - March 2016

Ellyeleanor Foundation is a foundation with the primary focus of educating children from less privileged homes. They are put in the best schools in their environs with private tutors provided for them where we deem it necessary depending on the childs age and IQ.

Keystone Montessori Nur/Pri Sch has partnered with us to give Chisom the best form of education

This year our focus is to "Start the Spark" with hopes of an inferno. By this we mean a wild form of positive transformation. We had home visits because we do not take things at face value, we wanted to truly see their living conditions to know the best cause of action.  This was made possible by some religious leaders and community leaders as well as our fantastic ground squad in Nigeria who are constantly working to identify lives in need of help and ensure they experience change. At the end of it all, we are giving full scholarships to 6 of these children and we will be giving start up loans to some hardworking women we identified, to help them start petty businesses which they indicated interest in.

Thought For The Week...

Be-Attitudes...

I really enjoyed the service of today and the sermon was on the Beatitudes. Now this is not the first time I have listened to the beatitudes or heard it preached. In fact I know it by heart as I had to memorise it to pass my religious knowledge exams at some point when I was in primary school lol!. Today however was different, as this is the first time I have read it from the message version. My pastor equally had a twist to it as he said its the "Be-Attitudes"which literally means what is required from us as Christians. In other words how we should be/act. Interesting right? I thought to share how the message version puts it.

Matthew 5The Message (MSG)

You’re Blessed

5 1-2 When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. This is what he said:

3 “You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.

4 “You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.

5 “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.

6 “You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.

7 “You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full,’ you find yourselves cared for.

8 “You’re blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.

9 “You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.

10 “You’re blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom.

11-12 “Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don’t like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.
