MR. ADEJOKUN'S BLOG

Been away from blogging for some while now as School has resumed with training. We have been working on a new administrative software 'RENWEB'. Do you have suggestions on this?

I intend making use of this blog more on academic matter as the 2007/2008 session continues. Can anyone interested in teaching give me ideas on CLASSROOM AND BEHAVIOURAL MANAGEMENT as the session gradually creeps in?

Over the past few days, I noticed the trend that a lot of people around me were catching the flu.
Of course I could not but think about the fact that the Viruses Influenza and Para influenza were out jumping from one person to the other but further observation showed that the climatic change which in Nigeria is divided into two seasons : the dry season (Harmattan) and rainy season (wet) had changed.
It is no longer possible to time the seasons. The seasons come haphazardly. We are currently in the rainy days but there is a combination of both seasons at the same time with the cold and windy harmattan season joined to the rainy and wet season.
The outbreak of the flu is no longer a surprise. I have suffered it and it is now receding.
Alas! Thank God it has not caught up with the members of my family.

Today, I sat meditating about the theme of this month which corresponded with that of the national Headquarter Church (The Redeemed Christian Church of God)

The bible says in the gospel according to Saint John chapter 11 verse 35 that JESUS WEPT. This is the shortest verse in the scriptures. Jesus though the son of God could empathise with others around him, grieving that he was overtaken by his emotions, that he wept.

Are you going through any torment, probably you're a wife or husband or lover that has been jilted or you've recently suffered the departure of a loved one, Jesus can feel your pain.

Emmanuel means God with us. That name tells us that He (Jesus) is with you. Jacob on running away from Esau following the advise of his mother (Rebekah) found himself at a lonely town (haran, Genesis 28 verse 10) where he knew no one (quite a lonely place you might say)got a vision with the assurance that even in his flight He (God) was there with him assuring him of His ever dwelling presence and a God who wants the best as seen in verse 13 surprised Jacob that he had to offer a sincere and hearrtfelt sacrifice to him said in verse 16 'Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.

Whatever you are going through there is this constant assurance that GOD IS WITH YOU. He loves you and will take you through the storm you are faced with.

Why not bow your head in prayer to talk to our wonderful God who yearns to comfort you and weeps when you weep. Remember, When you walk through the flame or through the waters, He is EMMANUEL. He is with YOU.

God bless you. AMEN.

What is your assessment of this Poem

When Upon Life's Billows
Like a Dream I found You
The Eastern Sun Had Set
And Ours Like the Acorn
Shall Grow to the Oak that
Never Fades
