*(2018) With All (2)*

_Jesus said unto. him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind_ *(Matthew 22:27).*

Surrendering our lives to Jesus means we are all His property, plus the property we have, here on earth. We cannot truly love God and keep from Him the material possessions that we have.

There is this joke told in the Nigerian circles, that when an armed robber pointed a gun at a rich man and barked: “your money or your life”.

The man replied “please take my life and leave my money”.

It may sound funny but some people say that much in the manner they handle their possessions in response to the needs of the ministry.

The Bible gives the command that we must love the Lord _with all;_ everything we’ve got! How come you own landed property and your church/ministry have being struggling to have a permanent site and it does not bother you? See how Jesus demonstrated what God expects of us in that we owe in Luke 19:31:

_And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him._

And the great thing is that God never deprives you of your possession, because He made use of it. Rather, He would bless you the more. Look at the example of Peter’s boat in Luke 5:1-6:

_And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,_ [2] _And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets._ [3] _And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship._ [4] _Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. _[5] _And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. [6] And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake._

Peter got out of life, what he had never seen before, simply because he let The Lord use his boat. While we serve, may we be ready to serve with all, that we have.

You are blessed in obedience to His Word.

*(2011) Eyes On Him*

_But when hll(e saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me._ (Matthew 14:30).

Peter did not walk on water because the.sea was calm, he walked on water because he was focused on and believed in Jesus!

There was a time Jesus rebuked the wind and the storm ceased

See Mark 4:38-41

_And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?_
39 _And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm._ 40 _And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?_

It is more like; as long as you keep your focus and faith on Jesus, not the "tribulation", victory is certain and, no
matter how the sea rages!

_These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world_ (John 16:33).

You are blessed with your household.

*( 2010) Do Likewise*

_And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise_ *(Luke 6:31).*

These are not human words nor are they opinions of men open to "superior" arguments. These are authoritative, eternal commands from our loving Father!

Do unto others as you would they do unto you! Or simply: _do likewise._

Permit me to observe that many of us are simply observing this command of Jesus in the breach! We expect others to give all to help or honour us or for our comfort, yet are most reluctant to simply lift a finger to do same to them or others!

Do you wish others make sacrifices for you? No problem. Are you willing to make a simple sacrifice for another? It is a command from the Lord, to do it to others as you would want to be treated.

There are those who think fellow believes should empty their bank accounts for them, yet cannot let go a single dime for a fellow believer in need! GError function!

Jesus wants us to match what we expect from others, not just get consumed with our needs and forget that others equally have feelings and the way we treat them matter to our Father in Heaven.

The next time you take an offense because a fellow brother or sister have not trrated you as expected, take a moment an reflect whether you are doing same, or will do same if the opportunity came along?

_Do likewise_ .

You are blessed going out, you are blessed coming in.

*(2009) What's In That Name? (5).*

_And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh_ *(Genesis 37:19).*

They knew his name. His name was Joseph, their own in brother; who was known for dreaming about his great future. Hence acquiring the nick name, "Dreamer".

What you do often or are known with can become your nick name: like the "Dreamer"!

Many people are known by their aliases or nick names, which define who they are or what they do. The decision to call people by their nick names is made by those that observe them. The Bible says, by their fruits you shall know them.

_Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?_ (Matthew 7:16)

For the believer, your lifestyle should earn you your nickname: generosity, patience, gentleness, love , faith, endurance and the like. We must be known with that which is commanded in Scripture and not what the world offers!

In Acts 4:36; we read of Paul's ministry companion:

_And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,_

Barnabas had his name, yet he was referred to as _son of encouragement,_ by the kind of work he did in th. Insitey and mamibsgt the people.

Our lives must be lived in a manner to attract the right nicknames and aliases.

Matthew 7:16-18:

_Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?_ 17 _Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit._ 18 _A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit_

Whether you have a good name from birth or not,.may your lifestyle attract the right alliances, by His grace.

You are blessed going out, you are blessed coming in.

(2008) What's In That Name? (4)

_And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requeste *d_ (1 Chronicles 4:10).*

As far as I know, no child pre-determines where they would be born nor have a hand in their parentage choice. Parents can choose the child they wish to have, but children cannot choose before birth, which parents to be born to or their nationality!

Imagine growing up to discover that your mother named you "pain"! Whether it was her pain, or the one you bought her or are expected to go through, it is simply NOT a good name for any child to bear! So was Jabez.

Jabez is a Hebrew name, meaning: "he causes pain," "sorrowful," or "borne in pain".

His mother named him this due to a difficult birth, yet he was considered more noble than his brethren; because of his prayer.

I have been privileged to work with and minister to children both in the cities and (sometimes) deep rural settings. I have had cause to ask myself: what did those children born in London, Paris or New York, do inorder to be born in those developed countries, as opposed to what another child did or did not do to born in the poverty-stricken jungles of Africa?

While I may never have an answer beyond what the Bible teaches as regards God's predestination, there is a glimpse of how a child born to remind others of or remain in pain, can change their story, as Jabez did.

_And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow._ (1 Chronicles 4:9).

Whatever names Jabez's brothers bore, he was determined to change the cause of his life, by praying for a transformation of his future, despite his very negative name!

I have also seen how parents have literarily "prayed" that God would help their poor children, and hellp came in diverse ways. Also, many children from disadvantaged backgrounds have become great, (both with God and men) when they knew to seek God early in thei lives.

While we do not run an orphanage currently, we have over ten children living with us or in our care, drawn from various poor families in different states of the federation. They are learning about the love of God and getting some basic education. When you hear some of them pray, tears fill your eyes, as they almost mimick Jabez.

And you know what? Any of us can pray the prayer of Jabez.

Whether from a privileged or poorer background, may God expand your coast beyond your wildest imagination, for His glory, in Jesus Name.

You are blessed going out, you are.vlessed coming in.

*(2007) What's In That Name? (3)*

_And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me_ *(Ruth 1:20).*

'Naomi is a primarily female name of Hebrew origin meaning "pleasantness," "delightfulness," "sweetness," or "beauty"''.

"Mara" on other hand, is another Hebrew word derived from _marah_ meaning; _bitter_ or _bitterness._ "It signifies sorrow or emotional anguish".

Now, imagine the contrasts between those two names. Perhaps at birth, either her parents or someone else named the baby _Naomi._ She grew up, matured and got married and had two sons. But then she had to run to the land of the Moabites, because of the prevailing economic hardship in the land of Israel. Maybe she was temporarily relieved down there, until her 8i8husband died. Then the two sons got married to Moabite women. Soon, one for he sons died! And the other also died! Both do them leaving behind no children, but their wives and Naomi as the mother in law. I suppose fewer women (or people generally) have battles such do evastating emotions. Losing all th makes in youf family and leaving behind no children? Many of us cannot blame Naomi, by asking to be known and addressed as Mara!

And as if the economy was waiting for the annihilation of her male dynasty, suddenly there was economic recovery back in the land of Israel. This fascinating background story is found in chapter one of the book of Ruth. See *ETERNAL TRUTHS IN TIMES LIKE THIS*

And if the economy was waiting for the death of alm the males, suddenly there was economic recovery back in the land of Israel. This fascinating story is found in chapter one of the Book of Ruth.

See Ruth 1:5,6;

_And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband._ 6 _Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread._

Now, that's what one must not resort to. No matter what life has thrown or will throw at you, never seek to answer the wrong name! Never use your own mouth to pronounce: barrenness, fruitlessness, lack of progress or perpetual sickness, etc as your "name" or permanent experience! For as Naomi was to soon find out, God always had a better experience ahead for you, even if it currently only looks "bitter".

So choose to call yourself and bear the name(s) that glorify and testify of God's goodness, whatever the case.

You are blessed with your household!

*(2006) What's In That Name? (2)*

_Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee_ *(Genesis 17:5).*

Abraham did not start off walking with God. He came from an ungodly background of idol worship, without the heavenly revelation of who He was.

His earthly father (or whoever) gave him the name "Abram" (exalted father) - not a bad name by all standards, but not the destiny-fulfilling name! And God changed it. He was no longer to remain "Abram", but the prophetically "Abraham" (father of many nations)!

Sometimes, the ways of The Lord can lead some ignorant people to wonder if It may not be setting one up for ridicule! "Abram" could be fine for a man who didn't have children...but you switch his name from that to "father of many nations", and then he lives to be ninety- nine years without a child? Think of the several past years of mockery from various people, once he announced himself as "father of many nations" without a single child, yet!

In the eyes of God though, whatever He has spoken is as good as in existence....or coming into existence! That was how He created the world anyway. And that is how He expects us to "create" the world around us, if we have to "change" some names to be in line with His vision for us. Whether it be human names or place-names, some names need to be changed!This perhaps is even a mild case, when cast against the more negative names.

Look at "Jacob" (heel-catcher or supplanter). How would you call a child supplanter? For the same name which meant "heal-catcher" also meant supplanter. Little wonder, many things took that turn in his life. Thankfully, our God can change names .

Genesis 32:28

_And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed._

God changed his name to that of a victorious person! So should your name be changed, if It does not rhyme with the plans of God towards you and yours.

People change names for various reasons. But when God changed anyone's name, it was so that they could fulfill His plans for them.

Serai (Abraham's wife) went through the same experience.

_And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be._ 16 _And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her._ (Genesis 17:15,16).

Even with the promise(s) of God, what's in that name you bear? Or your loved one, bear?

Take a bold step and effect a charge in your name, if It connotes something other than what God has destined for His children.

You are blessed in obedience to His Word

*DISPUTE ON THE EIGHT BILLION NAIRA JUDGEMENT DEBT OF THE ZAKI-BIAM MILITARY MASSACRE OF 2001*

_Please Note_ : This is not a chronological account nor a legal presentation of the matters here raised.

* Most peole have heard of the Zaki-Biam military massacre of 2001, during the Obasanjo era. What many may not know is that late Dr Gaadi took the matter to court, suing the Federal Government, on the platform of Benue Development Movement (BDM). At the time, Barr Ulegede (an Igede man from Benue State) was the Secretary of BDM.
* Th petitioner wrote to the then Tor Tiv and Mdzough u Tiv, that he was only acting on their behalf and they were to carry on with the case.
* However, after the demise of Dr Gaadi, the Secretary of BDM, Barr Ulegede, resigned from the organisation and took over the case as his personal litigation.
* It is to be noted that late Gaadi was Tiv, while Barr Ulegede is Igede, all from Benue State.
* The case went through many hands led by Barr Ulegede, who presented 14 people as the victims of the crisis (largely illiterate) on the one hand, whereas others acting for the Tiv nation had access to late Dr Gaadi's documented thousands of victims and had a comprehensive cost of damages attached to each victim. These included Ibo traders in Ukum, Logo, K/Ala and Kwande LGAs.
* The FG lost the case and Dr Gaadi and the victims were awarded 42 billion. At the time, it was rhe largest single judgement debt, in Nigerian history.
* Passing through Barr Ulegede and several hands, the judgement sum was negotiated down to 8 billion naira; which could still not be accessed!
* Th BDM approached Rev (Barr) Mrs Torkwase Iordaah to lead them in accessing the judgement debt on behalf of the thousands of victims represented by late Dr Gaadi.
* When the current Tor Tiv was sworn in, he was ceased with the case and again, invited Barr (Mrs) Iordaah into the case.
* Working, praying and consulting tirelessly with several of her Lawyers and other SANs, she was able to bring in the Tiv Traditional Council as parties, which hitherto were not.
* Prior to her involvement, the caee had gone on for 18 years. Within one-and-a-half years, not only was she able to bring in the TTC, her arguments led the court to hand the 8 billion naira into the custody of the TTC on behalf of all parties for equity and justice.
* The requirement for drawing the money, was for the TTC to show the court a satisfactory sharing formula. However, this has not been effected since the judgement in 2022!
* In the meantime, it has been alleged that Barr Ulegede (along with others) have accessed part (or all) of the 8 billion naira, and shared it amongst the 14 of his "victims"; leaving out the thousands of victims and TTC! The EFCC was alerted and have stepped in not the matter.
* Now, Barr Ulegede has sued the EFCC and the TTC for trying to breach his "fundamental human rights" to access the money!
* The case was lodged at the Federal High Court, Makurdi, Benue State.
* The next mention of the case is 4th May, 2026 at the Federal High Court, North Bank, Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria.
* If you believe in prayer...join others to pray for the peaceful resolution of the matter to the satisfaction of all parties to God's glory.

*ETERNAL TRUTHS IN TIMES LIKE THIS*

By Bishop Peter Agabi Iordaah Agabi

*(2005) What's In That Name? (1)*

_And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins_ *(Matthew 1:21).*

A _name_ is defined: "as a word or phrase used to identify, designate, or call a specific person, place, or thing. It serves as a label for an entity (referent) to distinguish it from others...."

Everyone and everything that exists, have a name. And it didn't just begin from nowhere, it all started with God giving Adam instructions after the creation to name everything that was created; see Genesis 2:19:

_And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof._

Think of such a huge task given to and dutifully accomplished by one man! Infact, at the time of this massive assignment, Eve was not yet created. Adam simply must have leaned on divine help to give the appropriate name to each creature!

Well, that is a study for the scientists in various fields, but what interest us most is the phrase:

_...and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof._ In other words, whatever Adam called it _was_ or _became_ that!

Names have meaning; and they are divinely honoured!

What is named on earth, is recognised as such in heaven.

This is so important that God does not want anyone to bear a "wrong" name or that which does not rhyme with their destinies! It is for such reason that Jesus was _named_ long before He was born. And He is not the only one in Scripture to experience that.

So, _what's In that name?_

What name are you bearing today? Do you know that it means a lot in the spiritual world what you are called? In the case of Jesus, the angel told them clearly:

_"...for he shall save his people from their sins."_

It matters how you got your name; before or after birth...or even, later in life; changed by your character, other people or yourself! The effect may well be the same. So not every name fits every one!

The name "Moses" ("drawn-out" of the water), may serve for the deliverer of the Israelites from Egypt, but it does not match the work of "The Deliverer" from all sins - Jesus!

Again, _what's in that name_ which you bear or have given to your children or other loved ones?

For names have meaning and God will respect your desire, in the _name_ you answer or call others.

You are blessed in obedience to His Word.
