BE Anxious For NOthing | Peaceful February 2015



6 BE anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and THE PEACE of God, which surpasses all understanding, WILL guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
-          Philippians 4:6 - 7 (NKJV; emphasis mine)



A peace beyond comprehension is guaranteed when we pray with a heart of gratitude 
instead of worrying.



10 BE still, and know that I am God; I WILL BE exalted among the nations, I WILL BE exalted in the earth!
-           Psalm 46: 10 (NKJV; emphasis mine)


3 and God saith, ‘Let light BE;’ and light is. 4 And God seeth the light that [it is] good…
-          Genesis 1:3 – 4 (YLT; emphasis mine)


39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, BE still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
-          Mark 4:39 (NKJV; emphasis mine)

What we keep saying, we keep seeing.

…On that day, the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but quite the opposite happened. It was the Jews who overpowered their enemies.
-          Esther 9:1 (NLT)

This month and beyond, we decree;
Nigeria, Peace BE upon you!


God Bless You!

An Aspiring Gnomist Prays At A New Year Family Meeting

As a prelusive gesture on this propitious occasion which is an incunabula and inchoation of my traverse with you in this year, I would like to say I am blithesome, rident and filled with mirth at the mere thought of being part of not just a klatsch or coterie but a truly pulchritudinous mishpocha. To be able to meet with you today, was once a desiderium but now, it's more like a sweven that is sooth.

Since I didn't have time to prepare a speech, this address would most likely come across as a prayer from the stables of an aspiring gnomist for each one of us in this family.

For every dyad, I pray that anon, each of our homes will be filled with more vinous and romantic fondness in ever increasing votive and troth.

May our bond not conk out or evanesce but rather, it will effloresce and flourish viridescently.

May every delitescent grace and gifting come alive as we become the echt portrayal of the Creator's masterpiece.

May our peace all through this year be smoother than a saunter through a xyst.

Concerning your goals, may you be endowed with axiomatic chutzpa difficult for every pusillanimous and horripilating crapehanger to gloze over or grok.

This year, I previse you walking into the realm of thalassic abundance and opulence, annulling every flak and wanion be it from progenitors or otherwise.

May this be the year you demesne and come into dignity. On meeting you, kings and nobles will agnize and tutoyer.

May our transit be peregrine; pre or post our end of year meeting as we thank God that not a skosh of His promises went unfulfilled.

As for all the naysayers in your life, they are fast becoming fusty.

By virtue of being bel-esprit and a specter to your adversaries, may they become exiguous as their gatherings become pell-mell, higgledy piggledy, arsy-varsy and star-crossed. May their meeting places be rubricated for destruction as they slubber into discombobulation, garboil and subjugation.

While your enemies cede and receive their comeuppance, may they become gapeseed as you sit to tiffin, slake and degust a toothsome outlay of kickshaw et al. They’ll still be peckish, panivorous and resorting to rejectamenta due to maw while you'll have an excess of both chow and pabulum.

My God will deliver you from flibbertigibbets, fussbudgets, coxcombs, whippersnappers and mythomanes.

May this year end well for us all in Jesus name.

To Perform, BEcome | January 2015



28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “BE fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
-           Genesis 1:28 (NKJV, emphasis mine)


The first instruction God gave the man He created wasn’t to “DO” or “HAVE” but to “BE”.
Before the mandate to fill (do), subdue (do) or have dominion, was the mandate to be.


12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to BEcome the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
-           John 1:12-13 (KJV, emphasis mine)


Those who become, are empowered to perform.
Perhaps this is another reason we’re called “Human BEings” – we are perpetually becoming; our fruits lend credence to our state per time.


4 Take care to live in me, and let me live in you. For a branch can’t produce fruit when severed from the vine. Nor can you be fruitful apart from me. 5 “Yes, I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in me and I in him shall produce a large crop of fruit. For apart from me you can’t do a thing.
-           John 15:4 -5 (TLB)


Those who remain connected, remain fruitful and productive;
Those who are productive, dominate. (Matthew 25:23)


10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
-          Revelation 5:10 (KJV)

God-made leaders are BEing enthroned in this season.

May this first month and new year, mark the BEginning of a new level of DOMINION indeed!

Welcome to BEing DISTINGUISHED!

God Bless You!

WETIN YOU CARRY??? (What do you carry) | Nathaniel Bassey

Shalom saints, this is a hard Post, but I have to share it all the same. To those who take this in humility, and act accordingly, it would sure change your life. But to those who don't, good luck.
JOHN 7:3-6 (NLT)
3 And Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, where your followers can see your miracles! 4 You can’t become famous if you hide like this! If you can do such wonderful things, show yourself to the world!” 5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him. 6 Jesus replied, “Now is not the right time for me to go, but you can go anytime

I'm quite concerned for our younger brethren, in a hurry to shine. I see too many young folks who are in a hurry to shine, have their faces on flyers and billboards, and platforms who have no business holding a mic yet. Most don't even know who they are to begin with. No revelation of God yet. But they want to have albums and sing everywhere. They have not served, but want to be served. They are quick to say God told me, when it is clear God didn't. If you are one of those, can you just SIT DOWN! And know God first!!!! That thing driving you may just be your flesh. A desire to be a star, and that's all. There is time for everything. Your job now is Psalm 27:4. Do that first until the anointing comes on you. Behold the glory first before trying to reflect it. You sing from an overflow of revelation of God. Most don't even have yet. JESUS, the son of God, and God by all standards, spent years learning and asking questions from doctors of the Law. And even when he was asked to "Show himself", said "my time has not come", when you come out before your time, you fizzle out fast!!! And without any impact. The crave to be celebrated is getting out of hand in our time. Truth is, People don't want to celebrate mediocrity. Get some substance first. Haba!
Most genuine music ministers we celebrate today had to go through a path. One of consecration, mentoring and discipleship. Look at Sinach, though not someone I know one on one, apart from meeting her at the Experience. Even after having her songs everywhere, still didn't go everywhere. Only until recently do we see her coming out frequently. She still serves in her church, and submits to her pastor.
By God's grace, I had to be mentored for about 10 years by my late pastor, ESKOR MFON. People would come asking him to have me minister outside, but he would tell them I wasn't mature yet. I could play the trumpet so well, sing and etc. but he insisted I had a lot more to learn.
But now, someone just sings a note, plays a few scales and they want to be independent. They print business cards, have a website, get a PR consultant and want to travel the world. HOW NOW?????
Sit under the Word first. Be mentored. Serve. Submit to a local church and pastor. Practice and work on your craft and character. And when the time comes, it will be very clear.
You won't have to beg to minister, the world would practically chase after you, because you carry something. I ask you, WETIN YOU CARRY?
You want to have REAL IMPACT, with posterity? This is THE WAY. At least in this kingdom. Don't be deceived. There is a path in this kingdom. If you sense a calling to the music ministry, the next thing to do is not to SHEW YOURSELF. RATHER, HIDE YOURSELF....seeking God, until you find him. It is what you have found that you then sing to the world.

This is a hard saying, who shall hear it. I say this out of love. It's hard, but it's the truth. God bless you.

Nathaniel Bassey
