BOOK REVIEW: Fulfilling Your Days By Bishop David Oyedepo

Cover of The Book By Bishop David Oyedepo

Fulfilling your days by Bishop Oyedepo is a very powerful book. An eye opener for me. It explains a lot about life, choices and death.

Today is also his birthday which makes it fitting to share his impact.

In this review, I highlight the major points that I picked from the book.

- Jesus has the key of death and He showed that with examples when He died Matt 27: 50 -53 which Paul confirmed in Colosians 2:15. - That Jesus showed us practical example of the authority/Keys He's been given by God by Raising the dead immediately He gave up the ghost after saying it is finished in John 19:30.

- We should ask Jesus for help when facing the horrors of death or life and He will answer.
- The book also says that 70 years is the minimum age we(are covenanted to live Ps. 90:10) but it can be increased to 120 -180 as we want and according to our strength).

- He reminded us about what Hezekiah did in Isaiah 38; calling/putting God to

remembrance of His word and promises and God added 15 more years to him.

- Papa says to die less than 70 isn't good. David died a good old age of 70(1 Chronicles 29:26-28) after reigning for forty years and was rich in everything like Abraham.

- I was also reminded that it is a choice to live long. I have a choice from David who died at 70 - Abraham and Isaac who died at 175 and 180 respectively.

- It is not something to pray for but to find with wisdom. Prov. 3:13-16

- That we should look to our Fathers Jeremiah 6:16... our covenant examples of what God has in mind for us and how long and well we should live. Isaiah 51:1-2.

- Psalm 91 was called the Long Life Psalm: i.e it has covenant terms for long life. Serve God and He will provide every other thing listed in Ps 91.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!

My First Day In Ikoyi Prison

Hello guys, I was led to join the Prison Ministry in my church many moons ago. I had a desire to help people in many ways by providing resources, my time, etc. Serving there has been a blessing. Ikoyi Prison Entrance My first experience at Ikoyi Prison, Falomo was enriching. I left home early to avoid the usual Third Mainland Bridge traffic so that I could make it to the Prison and join my team mates on time so I was feeling drowsy. I was surprised when my team mate said I should not worry that the sleep would disappear as soon as we step in. She was right. I forgot the sleep and was emotional all through our stay/service. Before we entered the facility, we were thoroughly searched. Azzin!! Head to toe something. No phones allowed. No sharp objects either. Then I saw the men. There were so many men. So many hungry and hopeful gazes at us. We were led to the Church, yes, there are two churches and a mosque in that facility. I was impressed an...

Customer Service Talk with Jane

The not so huge secret is out! I have been sharing some business tips on this blog but I am more passionate about Customer Service and I am very vocal about this not because of my years of experience working as a Customer Service Executive but because Nigerian vendors like to test our patience and I have experienced too much of it to ignore. I have also been hosting talks on a Whatsapp group for a while now where I share some tips and my Customer Service experience, answer questions business owners have and how to resolve customer complaints satisfactorily. I am excited to share publicly that I will be hosting another Customer Service Talk on March 6, 2022 by 8pm. Attendance is free and virtual(Google Meet) but you have to register. See link below: https://forms.gle/Jp9cTX6fTLNUzpnf6 See you there!

Don't Keep Your Customers Waiting

Feedbacks like the above aren't good for business growth as they discourage other "intending" Customers. You should not keep Customers waiting whether you own a kiosk or a conglomerate. We have terrible and incompetent policymakers in Nigeria whose policies crumble businesses, but business owners should play their part and ensure they keep their businesses afloat by keeping loyal Customers satisfied. When you satisfy your clients, they would not leave. They will bring more clients to you saving you the cost budgeted for Advertisement and Promotion. One of the parts you need to play well is to hire willing and loyal staff. I didn't believe tales of few good or employable people until I started helping employers to hire people. The labour market is not encouraging, yes, but you should keep searching. You can use job sites well, give them your requirements and pay the applicable fee needed to get what you want. You can also headhunt after proper due diligence. If you d...
