MONTEÈCLAIRS TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVE

The last few months particularly, have been very eventful,  especially being the Music Director of the AG-Leaders Domain Choir Intl., the youth choir of Assemblies of God church,  Surulere,  Lagos. The leaders felt prodded by God to take on the challenge of an album in 2015. The thought seemed daunting,  but we strategized and trusted God for everything including songs, funding and help in every way. Worthy of note is the fact that many had never written a song before then. And so we asked Baba God, then declared open season for song writing.  The result was outstanding. Someone is already saying what's the big deal about a music album. Truth is, we'd seen NO CHOIR within our fold , on a national scale, come up or trive with a music album that permeated the market,  society & christiandom. This is with great respect for many who worked on this path and will be encouraged to do MORE after this groundbreaking single from AG LEADERS DOMAIN CHOIR. I can tell you for f

Mr.  Kunle Adebayo  was sharing his vision of www.godschannel.tv with me and mentioned how God always speaks to him in the bathroom. I quickly told him to bath more often...lol. Don't look at me like you don't hear it too. Don't raise your eyebrow like you've never asked yourself this question, 'am I crazy? Am I hearing things? Is this God speaking or just my subconscious talking? This idea is outlandish,  won't people call me crazy?... '. Perhaps you're right about the crazy part. #LaughingOutLoud I remember hearing Mr Ubong King share at a singles hangout program i recently coordinated, how he usually (hearing a mysterious voice in his mind) receives radical ideas that change his life and transform his finances while he's sitting on the 'throne'. That's his toilet seat actually. Lolz 😄. Mine happens at odd places and positions,  some of which I've blogged about. It's amazing!  Hope I'm not speaking over someone'

Amazingly this world is made of words. We still use words everyday, everywhere and in every way as we live. Words are so powerful,  they make or Mar a person and anything at all. Every thing visible or not has ears, so they respond to words. Review, cook and season your words today before dishing it out. Do not waste this innate , God-given power. Someone wrote a poem just for me. Wow! Impressive & deeply appreciated! Feel free to write yours o...lol...I'll publish too. The lines all seem deep, each heavy with meaning. I'm a word person,  I'm gonna spend time on this one. I think it was God inspired. I love it, so I'm sharing to those I care about too, and you reading, are top on this list. At times God just speaks mysteries; We connect the dots to get the picture It feels good to be thought of and appreciated with such deep words without deceit or strings attached. Appreciate a friend today.  You never know what impact you'd be making. To my dear new

It happened again.  This time for real and outside my house... ...I couldn't flush the toilet. Okay I'm laughing here but it's a serious matter.  We need to talk about toilets. Many people especially some adults need to be toilet trained, re-trained and prosecuted when they default any toilet laws. I Imagine this law will be sponsored by the ministry of public health , toilet affairs unit maybe...lol. For me this is important because I've had strange,  painful experiences, heard bizarre stories about toilets. I think its wicked for any adult to walk away from a dirty toilet and do nothing to tidy it.  Whatever your country,  there are toilet issues, so feel free to share. I once heard of a girl who used to stand on the toilet seats, then one day it broke and her buttocks was stitched in more than 20 points. Let's not mention those toilets where maggots are having a rendezvous , even dancing shoki....#puke loading . Google images of pit toilets  Toile

When the Holy Spirit wants to give you a crash course,  you best better pay attention. I needed to be somewhere early this morning and chose the bus stop closest to my house to catch a fare. As soon as I got there,  I asked myself why I even chose that point and was about to move to the main park when I heard be patient.  So I waited. I watched many buses come past me, I watched as employees disembarked rushing to their desks like minions,  I watched as mothers ferried their reluctant children to school,  as the street cleaners swept acting like they had iron man's armour on so could withstand a hit by an oncoming vehicle... I was getting tired.  Twice at fifteen minutes intervals I pleaded to be allowed to go to the main bus stop,  but I was restrained by the Spirit. So I waited. The sun was already out and on its way to work,  coupled with my black lawyer-like dress, I was already sweating. If only I'd been  forewarned of this training exercise I'd have come out wi

Scrolling through cable channels, credits already scrolling to mark the end, my eye suddenly caught the title of the show, 'I am Cait'. I shuddered. What's happening to mankind?   As a teenager, I used to imagine who or what I would I have been if I was a male. I imagined the male 'me' a foot taller , ebony black complexion or Caucasian,  silky curly black hair, shaped nicely on my face and a complimenting side parting or perhaps a short afro, nerdy glasses, a combination of good looks and brains... chei! man-crush! surely all the ladies would go 'gaga' over me because my 'shakara' (arrogance) would know no bounds After fantasising a while, I'd then laugh hard at myself,  thanking God for making me the perfect person I am today, a wonderfully created female. Pride, arrogance, has never done anyone much good, including lucifer. Back in my teens when I had such thoughts,  science hadn't done or mentioned transgender possibilities, today

Dr. Ben Carson (Retired world renowned neurosurgeon, and Republican Presidential Aspirant) wrote this profound & beautiful piece. You may wish to review and enjoy your life after this. Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life, while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life. A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead and dreams of flying. But, a pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of returning home. That's life!! Enjoy yours. If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the streets. But only poor kids do that. If power ensures security, then officials should walk unguarded. But those who live simply, sleep soundly. If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages. But those who live simply, walk humbly and love genuinely! All good will come back to you!!! Man asks, “Where was God when Myles Munroe, wife and his associates were killed in a crash?  He answers,

I got this post from my music producer friend, +Job Treash  , I'm not the copy n' share kinda fellow,  but this y'all got to read. If perhaps you have an answer to my question , ' What's wrong with the world? ', do share. Billy Graham's  daughter was interviewed on the  Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let  something like this happen?" (regarding the  attacks on Sept. 11). Anne Graham gave  an extremely profound and insightful  response. She said "I believe God is deeply saddened by  this, just as we are, but for years we've been  telling God to get out of our schools, to get  out of our government and to get  out of our  lives. And being the  gentleman He is, I believe He has  calmly backed out.  How can we expect God to give us His  blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us  alone?" In light of recent  events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I  think it started when Madelein

It’s no fun to be the target of gossip. It can be frustrating, embarrassing, and hurtful. Maybe that’s why God encourages us to guard our tongues against gossip in His Word. I did a lot of search on this matter after being hurt recently.Some insights I simply copy-pasted for emphasis. God warns not to associate with gossips: "He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets; Therefore, do not associate with a gossip." (Prov. 20:19). They get you into trouble. God lists gossip alongside people who: do not acknowledge God; have a depraved mind; are full of unrighteousness, slander, wickedness, greed, malice, murder, strife, deceit, and envy; who hate God; are insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and people who approve such things. (Rom. 1:28-32) Without mincing words, God hates gossip. Gossip is evil, reprehensible and detestable -- an abomination. Even the devil used in Ede

"Ha! Na wa o! Are you serious?  How can he be involved in such, and yet he calls himself a Christian?  No wonder she was looking like that the other day. Anyway, Don't tell anyone I told you this o, let's just be praying for each other..."...and the gist spreads out of 'concern' for the church. I've always hated been caught or my name mentioned in such gossip gists. Interstingly, quite a number of people 'work' voluntarily for Gossip Incorporated'. They're everywhere,  including us. Ehn o! You and I are involved somehow. You will find out soon. So I hear a tale about a friend of mine, I call the friend aside privately and confront them with the 'gist', as there is no smoke without fire,  so they can deal with it. Has my strategy been effective?  Sometimes. Well, I found it ended the tale but gave me 'enemies'. Not enemies like the devil or boko haram anyway. Lol. The person who brought the information in confidence fee

Today, in spite of doomsday prophecies particularly by the western world, Nigeria stands as one people, reportedly jubilating wildly at the turnout of the presidential election. I'm apolitical but I love this great country. There are Lots of lessons for all this season. I'm totally 'Jega-ed' right now.  This is the country that we sing of in our national anthem and recite in the pledge. Our compatriot, JEGA so impressed the country that his name got a new Meaning: JEGA - to be inexplicably chilled/relaxed and untold refusal to be overwhelmed in the midst of stupidity or antagonism or conflict. Usage: A Soldier slapped me, but I just Jega'ed. Lol There are loads of comments on social media, so I'll be reviewing a few plus mine for your reading pleasure. One of my friends, after making Jega his middle name remarked that is like the lucky thief who died beside Jesus. That last moment cleaned all his years of mess. Now an Elder statesman, Jonathan, had sho

Perhaps a better caption would have been, ‘what is the worth of a woman?’, ‘what   is her present and future premium value?’. This question comes to mind considering what is taken in exchange for the ‘head’ of the woman at traditional marriages. Is she just worth some alligator pepper, oversized yams, palm oil, coconut, red oil, baskets of groceries, bags of rice, a box   of clothes and wads of cash? Or perhaps a baby manufacturer, milk factory, child processor, room toy , a piece of furniture or even antique? When my friend, Winston (real name withheld) got married in June last year, he lamented, ‘omo Beryl, those guys are cruel. The bride price negotiation started from N 1,500,000 aside the other items customary requested and exclusive of refreshment and logistics for the occasion which almost gulped N2,000,000. Ehn! How much am i earning to warrant all the harassment?’ . i told him, ‘guy calm down o, na u wan marry, just take care of their daughter o’. He said, ‘what! Look i wil
