He did it again. He woke us up today, with breath in our body and strength in our limbs.
Just type Amen if you believe God is the reason why you’re awake today
14 years later and we are still building for our future. I am Grateful to everyone who has supported the vision, the artists, the music, and the culture. So much more to come. #MAVIN14#IDJA 🐘
Yesterday, Abia State stood still to honour one of our greatest sons, Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai, a global evangelist, God’s General, and a man whose life touched millions.
At the State burial service in Umuahia, I reminded everyone that Papa Uma Ukpai did not die, he only transited. His works, his children, his legacy, they all speak louder than words.
The real challenge is for us. What will people say when it’s our turn? Papa lived a life of impact, of faith, of service. That’s why we celebrate him.
We thank God for the gift of Rev. Uma Ukpai to Abia, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria, Africa, and the world. Truly, honour belongs to whom honour is due.
To his dear wife, Pastor Mrs. Philomena Ukpai, and the entire family, we say thank you for allowing us to honour him. We grieve, but not like those without hope. We know Papa rests in glory, awaiting that resurrection morning.
Good night, Daddy Uma Ukpai. Your legacy lives on.
LIES YOU SHOULD NOT TELL YOURSELF
1. WHAT IS MINE WILL ALWAYS FIND ME: Who told you that? Abeg get up and go get it...Fortune favours the Brave!
2. THIS IS WHO I AM, I CANNOT CHANGE: No Sir/Ma, Times are changing , your adaptability to changing Seasons will always put you ahead of others. Did you hear a Wise man when he said- Madness is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
3. I DON’T NEED ANYONE, I CAN MAKE IT ON MY OWN: No matter how disappointed you are with people, you must need someone at some point to help you navigate through life’s hurdles. God Ordained Relationships are answered Prayers.
4. MY CHARACTER DOES NOT MATTER, I CAN MAKE IT REGARDLESS: Some habits are blessing blockers. Be Careful!
5. I AM TIRED MEANS I SHOULD GIVE UP: This Week, you might get exhausted mentally, physically etc. issues might stress and attempt to drain you. It’s okay to be tired....REST and hit the road again...NO GIVE UP MENTALITY here!
6. I AM WHAT I DO : Overtime , you probably may have disappointed yourself with your actions but always remember- YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU DO. Your Identity is who God says You are not what you’ve done.
7. I STILL HAVE TIME: You’ve got no time to waste time. Every time you are lazy, someone is working real hard. Every new day brings you closer to your next birthday- I don’t think you have as much time as you say you have. FACE YOUR FRONT. BE ALL IN with your Purpose and MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!!
Hope this made a little sense...
