My 26th Give away + NBA Appreciation

First of all, I'd like to appreciate all my friends, fans and followers of this blog for your votes towards the Nigerian Blog Awards. Sincerely, even though I didn't win the Most Inspiring Blog Award, I found it such great fun to be in a community where not all things are predictable. I enjoyed the twitter award show as it was afternoon here in NZ and didn't have to stay awake, like my fellow bloggers in the UK and Nigeria. LOL. I sincerely appreciate your votes and efforts towards the award. God bless you all immensely. Let's keep fulfilling purpose. We'll surely get there if we don't give up! Congratulations to other winners of the awards too. Keep writing...

Now to my birthday post give away... I promised two books; In Pursuit of Purpose - Myles Munroe and His Helping Hand - John Ekundayo (My Dad). You will find out why In Pursuit of Purpose means so much to me in the answers to the questions asked as you read the rest of the post. I have decided to not use the 2nd and 3rd rule of the contest because people obviously didn't bother to do them. However, the questions asked; though not many, were very down to earth and awesome! Here are they and my answers to them right after.

1. GINGER | Three ways in which Dudushewa touches my life that makes her special

They are numerous but I would mention three since that's what you have asked.
a. She is my best friend. Sincerely, there is hardly anything I don't tell her. She is my closest ally. She is always there for me and I can't wait to tie the knots.

b. She can go out of her way to do anything for me. I see this quality in her all the time. Her love for me is so genuine that I feel I am the most favoured man alive.
c. She is my number one fan in everything I do. She understands my ministry and always ready to offer her support. In fact, she's always looking forward to taking part. She is my chief editor and publisher. I couldn't have gone this far in my PhD if I don't have her support. Time when I'd cry and weep cos of challenges, God has always used her to encourage and cheer me on.

2. GLORIA | If God gives you a minute to ask for just one thing u DESIRE THE MOST , what would u say..?
I'd ask that His mercy would prevail and avail for me in every phase and all the days of my life such that I will not miss His will, purpose or destiny for my life.

3. Sisi Yemmie | When are you writing a book? and when is your wedding????
Hmm... sincerely, I am hungry to write a book too. The resources in terms of manuscripts are ready. The only thing is the time to put everything together. So, I have decided when I complete my PhD study by God's grace, I'd start putting out the books, WATCH OUT.
As for my wedding; you know its not only my decision but that of two individuals. Also, yours sincerely is still a full time student (LOL). However, we are already in talks about it and very soon by God's grace. I assure you, very soon.

4. BBB | When exactly would you say was the turning point in your life, what exactly made you realize your gift for pushing people on and inspiring others to be great?
The turning point in my life would be when I found and read the book, "In pursuit of purpose" - Myles Munroe. I had, before then been struggling with questions as to so many gifts and talents in my life that I didn't know what God wanted for me specifically. But God used Myles Munroe for me in that area. After reading that book, I went on a 'search' for my life's purpose and I remember God speaking to me one day, "Son, all these that you know how to do, are all for one purpose - to be an encourager and to raise leaders in this generation and the ones to come." That's why I carved the vision of my life as: "To bring my world to heights yet unattained, fabricate ease from complexities and put smiles on every face in my generation and the ones to come". So my desire is for every man to discover their purpose; be who exactly they were born to be and make the best of their potentials in life and most importantly, make heaven. Although I try not to use biblical references on this blog because I want to reach a wider audience but I assure you, God is my ultimate source of inspiration, not any man.

5. Segun Akiode | how you narrowed down your option to your 'sweetheart'? How did you know she is the one?
I didn't really have to many options like that when we met but when we met, I knew an end had come to my search. We met in the most unique and unexpected way but I was so sure God was in it cos He spoke to me. I don't think one should be considering too much when God has already spoken. Today I am confident it'd work out not because I know how to do it, but because He spoke to me and confirmed it severally. That's why I always say [God forbid] if I lose her, it'd be missing God's will and purpose for my life and I can't afford that. There would be challenges; in fact, there are challenges but the assurance is that our relationship is built on God and His mercies that endures forever.

The Winners are:

1. BBB - 1st Prize

2. Ginger - 2nd Prize

God bless you sisters. I appreciate you. For others that didn't win, you are all winners already. God bless you mightily. Thanks for your constant support for me.
