Women are identified with spirituality, strength, savour; Dexterity, capacity, beauty; Courage, care, concern; Will-power, winsomeness, womb-bearing........ In my work place, one of such assumed a new position as the Provost, the transformation was obvious within few months. The ability of a woman in leadership. Manliness, manhood or masculinity has it irreplaceable position, however, the power of change by a woman -positive or negative I never underestimate.  Bible knowledge serves me right; Barak, son of Abinoam, can tell you of Deborah, wife of Lapidoth-a prophetess and judge; Samson can also tell you of Delilah in valley of Sorek-a seducer and slayer.  I celebrate every woman on this memorable day. Women leaders, mothers, sisters, friends......I celebrate you all.  Be of God and Be the Best! Happy international women's day!

And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,  [43]And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.  [44]And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.  [45]And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with

With careful consideration of the journey from the month of January to December, I recommend you exercise yourself in the following: 1. Thanksgiving- Thank God!  There's a whole lot to thank  the Shaddai for. Just like the Psalmist, you can confess  " If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Certainly, It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2. Evaluation: Conduct a self-check up. It will be awesome to spare sometime for a self assessment.  Spiritual, Ministry, Career, Academics, Business, Relationship, Finance, Personal Growth, Mental Investment... name it; assess yourself in these areas.  For example, ask yourself the following questions. This year- How far? how well?  Am I better or otherwise?  Any improvement, and to what extent?  How m
