OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY 22/01/2014

It pays to serve Jesus; I speak from my heart, 
He'll always be with us, if we do our part 
There's naught in this wide world can pleasure afford; 
There's peace and contentment in serving the Lord. 

CHORUS 
I love Him far better than in days of yore 
I'll serve Him more truly than ever before, 
I'll do as He bids me, whatever the cost, 
I'll be a true soldier; I'll die at my post. 

And oft when I'm tempted to turn from the track, 
I think of my Saviour, my mind wanders back 
To the place where they nailed Him on Calvary's tree. 
I heard a voice saying, "I suffered for thee." 

A place I remember where I was set free, 
'Twas where I found pardon, a heaven to me. 
There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary soul, 
My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole. 

How rich is the blessing the world cannot give, 
I'm satisfied fully for Jesus to live; 
Though friends may forsake me and trial arise, 
I am trusting Jesus, His love never dies. 

There is no one like Jesus can cheer me today. 
His love and His kindness can ne'er fade away, 
In winter and summer, in sunshine and rain, 
His love and affection are always the same. 

Will you have this blessing that Jesus bestows, 
A free full salvation from sin's bitter throes? 
O come to the Saviour, to Calvary flee, 
The fountain is opened, is flowing for thee.

EFFECTS OF SMART LEADERS - ISRAEL IS AHEAD IN FIGHT AGAINST COVID19

ISRAEL HAS REACHED HERD IMMUNITY Israel has once again shown countries how clever leaders think in the 2nd and 3rd order (thinking beyond the obvious). Last week, 19th April, 2021*; Israel became the first country to  inoculate its entire adult population over age 18. Yesterday, all schools and colleges were opened and mask requirements were removed all across the country (barring a few congested public places). Here's how this remarkable country did it. Israel's leaders are all well educated and many of them have advanced degrees in science and medicine. Their PM graduated at the top of his class at MIT, and started (but didn't finish) a PhD at Harvard.  Isreal's Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu They realized at the onset of the pandemic last year that the only way to beat a virus was through herd immunity, and that vaccination was key to expediting this process. They immediately zeroed in the two companies that were ahead of the pack in vaccine...
A WONDERFUL LETTER FROM HEAVEN TO MUMMY  Mommy, I am in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus' lap. He loves me and cries with me; for my heart has been broken. I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence, because my existence started from conception when I was formed in your womb. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you, maybe you didn’t expect me, but God sent me to you as a special gift, ...

Nigeria is Printing Money: Road to Zimbabwe Part 2

Let me illustrate what happens when Quantitative Easing is managed well and when it is mismanaged as follows: 1. If QE is used rightly, it is a veritable economic management tool that jumpstarts comatose economies back to life. So, let us say our economy produces 1,000 yams and money supply is N100,000, all the money will buy all the yams at N100 per tuber. Now, if the government adopts QE and prints N900,000 so that money supply is now N1 million and uses the money to boost the agricultural sector by clearing the land, buying farm equipment and building processing plants, there will be a sharp rise in output to 20,000 yams. N1m will buy 20,000 yams at N50 per yam so price has crashed (inflation tamed) and jobs created because the workforce that will produce 20,000 yams will be more than the one that produced 1,000 yams! This is the beauty of QE when used for economic growth!  However and tragically too, if QE is mismanaged, it spells a death sentence to an economy. Nigeria is mism...
