"EBEZINA" - What a powerful song!!!

About two months ago, I was itching to listen to some deep Christian Nigerian and foreign songs (not the "shake body" types void of the spiritual backups) because the ones I had were getting too "common" and watery to me, I then told my dear brother Dickson to get me some CDs (collections); he came back with many CDs including one mp3 CD full of about 70 songs I didn't really know and sincerely yours I was cross with him, but I took it in good faith and embarked upon this journey of listening to all the songs (over 120 in all). That was the first time I listened to the whole track of Frank Edwards, Sinach (to discover that most of the worship songs I sing were her songs), but the one that captivated me most was an IBO song (amazing isn't it? even when I did not know the meaning of the lyrics, although I later dug it out) called "EBEZINA" by Preye Odede (got to know his name just yesterday). Since that day, no day passes without me listening to this song, every hour of the day, infact i make sure I run out my phone battery over night just because of this song; I later got to know that this song emanated from Preye's personal experiences, and a reassurance from God that HE IS STILL GOD!!!
Are you there going through some rough times or even good times, GOD IS GOD all by HIMSELF; Circumstances or situations do not define GOD, HE calls the shots, changes times and seasons, turns the table around to favour HIS own, all you need do is TRUST HIM. I leave you with the lyrics of this powerful song that has ministered to me continuously for over 2 months.

He's the same God

Who was there for you in the midnight hour.

He's the same God 
Who is able to wipe your tears away.

He's the same God 
Who was there in times of lack and want

He's the same God 
He's Jehovah, my great provider

Tell me why you're giving up on God

Tell me why you're giving up on Him

Tell me why you're giving up on God

Hold on, change is on the way

Ebezina, (... Don't you cry)

Chukwunonso (God is so close)

Ọgịnị bụ nsogbu gị? (What is your problem?)

Ị mana ọdịghị adịgide (Don't you know that God doesn't TAKE LONG)

Nwanne muo  (My Beloved)
Jidesie Ya ike (Hold Him TIGHT)

Hichaa anya gị eh (Wipe your EYES)

Chukwu adịghị atụ asị (God never lies)

Ọ ga-adịrị gị mma. (It's gonna be ALRIGHT)

Don't you cry the change is here

Weeping may endure for a night

Joy's gonna come in the morning

You don't have to cry no more

Hold God by His words

He's gonna do what He says

Lift your hands and give Him praise oo.....

I know you've been crying

I understand

I know you've been wounded

But it's okay

I know you've been broken

But I'm here to mend your broken heart

Believe in Me,

you will overcome

Yesterday will be your story

I'm the God of all flesh

Nothing is too hard for Me to do, yes!

Call: Don't forget

Response: I calmed the sea

Call: Don't forget now

Response: I raised the dead

Call: Don't forget

Response: I came to die that you might live, Forever...

Don't you cry it's gonna be over

You will overcome today

Wipe your eyes and give Him all the praise

Oga diri gi mma…

It's gonna be alright

It's gonna be alright

Oga diri gi mma…

Deep meditation on Ephesians 5:1-10 (The Message Translation)

This scripture passage, shared by Jide Okoli ministered to me during #ThefathersChurch ‪#‎GetConnected‬ (Lunch-Hour fellowship) yesterday; I trust God to minister to you also.

Eph 5:1-10 (The Message Translation)

1. Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents.

2 Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

3 Don't allow love to turn into lust, setting off a downhill slide into sexual promiscuity, filthy practices, or bullying greed.

4 Though some tongues just love the taste of gossip, Christians have better uses for language than that. Don't talk dirty or silly. That kind of talk doesn't fit our style. Thanksgiving is our dialect.

5 You can be sure that using people or religion or things just for what you can get out of them — the usual variations on idolatry — will get you nowhere, and certainly nowhere near the kingdom of Christ, the kingdom of God.

6 Don't let yourselves get taken in by religious smooth talk. God gets furious with people who are full of religious sales talk but want nothing to do with him.

7 Don't even hang around people like that.

8 You groped your way through that murk once, but no longer. You're out in the open now. The bright light of Christ makes your way plain. So no more stumbling around. Get on with it!

9 The good, the right, the true — these are the actions appropriate for daylight hours.

10 Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it.

God's standard should never be compromised; Lets do it HIS way....‪#‎KingdomOperatingSystem‬ ‪#‎TheKingdomWay‬ #JiggoInspires
