An absorbing and thought-provoking read from start to finished; it is a book which has a great deal to offer it’s readers, whether these be of religious principle or not. Mr. Enogieru does not seek to preach to his readers, but presents them with the ideas and the basis for a more satisfying life, and the direction in which we can all work in order to live at greater peace within ourselves, with our fellow beings, and most importantly of all with the Lord our God.

As you read through this book, I know you will not be disappointed, because this is the book designed to raise the level of your comfort. Mr. Enogieru completely committed to the sufficiency of the scriptures to address the needs of even the ugliest-parts of our world.

It will be of good to take the author’s words to heart, and having finished ready this book you may found yourself attempting to implement in your life the principles he explores.

His ideas have a universal appeal, and are written in a language which is deeply expressive and allows the readers to feel an immediate empathy with the writer, encouraging him or her to see the similarities in his or her own life and apply the beliefs expounded in the book.

Such words as these: the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow, are just one example out of many which demonstrate the author’s understanding of the world we live in.

Let Overcome Your Shackles thrill you to understand that our own wrestling and efforts can never deliver us from sin, neither advanced knowledge or strict penal laws are able to free us, but through Christ Jesus alone we have salvation.

Gob Bless you.

You Can Make It

The problems of this world can easily be understood as shackles, chains, and setback hindrances that prevent us from having the freedom to realize God’s thoughts, plans and blessings towards us.

We can clearly understand this as the devil’s main weapon for pulling down God’s children -away of implanting negative thoughts and beliefs, things that weigh us down and prevent us from being the person God wants us to become.

Ministering to group of tourist in Hungary, Eastern Europe, in the year 1989, I was told by a lady that she never believed in the existence of God. She asked that if God truly existed, why were some people richer and the majority poor, especially those who served and worship him sincerely. This automatically drew my attention to letting her know the meaning of the word rich.

In earthly terms we all know that someone is rich if they have a great amount of wealth or resources. But it is untrue that God creates some rich and majority poor. It is God’s plan and desire that all men be prosperous and uses all things in creation for their own good and His glory. How we obtain it may vary but God gives it equally to all people. God gives power to those who obey Him get wealth: But thou shall remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that gives thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swear unto thy fathers, as it is today (Deuteronomy 8:18).

It’s true that a lot of people acquire their riches in dubious ways, but true born-again Christians or those who serve the Lord always want to wait for God’s hour. That may be one of the reasons you find more riches belonging to worldly people than Christian people. But thank God that our riches are not built only here on earth but are abundant in Heaven too.

We’ve come to the age now when people misunderstand the reality of God’s existence, ordinances, and plan. Why? I may ask is that we as the chosen vessels of God have failed to stand firm and do our duty here on earth. The Devil now uses our inability to confuse the ignorant and those who have little or no knowledge about Jesus Christ.

Christians today spend too much time proposing instead of disposing, making too many vain comments and promises in our lives, talking around the gospel instead of preaching the true gospel of Christ. Endowing having feasted or ceremonies in church instead of fasting and communions, we need to break the shackles and not to strengthen them.

Are we trying to neglect the beauty of the Cross of Calvary, all Jesus Christ did and attained for us, his bruises, wounds, and stripes?

Do we have to turn down the true gospel because of the push and shove of life?

I will say No, Go forbid!

God wants us to have a passion for the next level in life. Being the same old person is not God’s desire. We need to grow in faith, worship and in spirit. When we come to Christ we are like a newborn baby. A mother of a newborn baby desires her child to grow and become strong, but if after a year or two that baby remains the same as it was the first day she had the child, she will certainly know that something is wrong with the child and will like a physician to check him or her out. The same applies to our Heavenly Father. When we accept Him, Christ desires us to grow in spirit and to increase our knowledge and understanding of His Word. God wants us to enter the next level of achievement, to start to dream about and profess His blessings and justice.

You are aiming at the special goal in your life which you thought might take years and decades to materialize, but God wants you to move to that level today with confidence. Put it in God’s hands and let Him prevail. Remember the word of God, which says, Every yoke shall be broken. The issue is not about what we think or how we feel about certain situation, but it is what God thinks about us.

In Jeremiah 29:11-14, God speaks to His children saying:

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I hearken unto you.

And ye shall seek me and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart. And I be found of you, said the Lord."

Furthermore in the book of Isaiah, He says, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, said the Lord. For as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thought (Isaiah 55:8-9). And Isaiah 41:10 says, Fear not: for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

We must learn to hold on to our dreams, just like Joseph in the Bible. Sometimes our dream or vision might take a long time to materialize, but if God gives it He will realize it. The devil might try to shake it before it becomes real. The good thing is that the Devil cannot stop it.

As we know, Joseph had a dream, he told his brothers immediately and it caused his brothers to hate him.

His dream caused him to be thrown into the pit;

Caused him to be sold as a slave’ Caused him to be taken to Potiphar’s house; Caused him to be accused and thrown into jail; It was dream that brought Joseph out of the jail and installed him into that high position next to the king.

Why?

Joseph travailed because he held onto his dream or vision. (You can read more about that in Genesis Chapters 35 – 41).

If God has given you any kind of dream, vision or idea take advantage of it because it’s meant for you alone to understand it, not any other man, woman, boy or girl but you alone.

The things of this world may seem to draw you away in all kind of ways. However they don’t have the power to give you the ambition to live your life everyday and to set aside all negative things, obstacles and people.

No man has the power over your destiny in life: only God has that control and power to determine your destiny. So may God remove all shackles from your life and keep them far away from your sight.

TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED

You see sometime, our blessing may seem far away. The Holy Spirit may say, Be Patient, Obey!

As time blow by we sometimes wondered why. You can’t control the unavoidable so try ignoring the negatives, trust God, Pray to enable you realize positively.

Nothing is impossible under the sun. Stand firm beloved.

NAGETIVES

Don’t recycle them. Throw negative thoughts and ideas away.

Good choice brings good will and happy hearts. It’s a good thing to feel a negative depart. Outsmart Satan, bullies and negative people today and let’s start positive without delay.

Obtain simple salvation, positive choices and remove doubts from your life; ignore Satan covert and choose wisely.

Do good and you’ll be blessed in many ways, by doing and exercising good Christian morals will reflect thanks and praises in the hearts. Jesus is happy if we choose what is worthwhile.

Are you blessed and stressed?

Then smile. Don’t let Satan complicate your mind, write on toilet tissue Negatives things that tried to weigh you down, then flush them out of your life. Intelligent choices each day will makes your negative feelings go away.

Like a river flows, negatives also flow far astray.

Jesus at the cross stretches his hands and said, It is finished. Therefore; my dear reader We are too blessed to be stressed.

The eternal life is for you to know the invisible God. God wants us to have joy - full joy
