The message from Acts 27 v16 - focused on the pain and tribulations we go through in life. God's word to us in all our varied circumstances is that there shall be no loss. GOD assured Paul in the storm that none of their life's' will be lost even though the ship will be wrecked.
We may have goals that propel us forward in life. Our progress may be slow and difficult but with God we will experience no loss.
The African's progress is slow and difficult because there is a lack of trust that makes cooperation almost impossible to achieve. The church needs to break this trend if there will be progress.

Victory
Bishop George Bloomer used his personal life story to illustrate the power of GOD and motivate us towards acting on our beliefs.
He used Haggai 1 v5 to prophesy that GOD wants us to "consider our ways" and do the work ("gather wood & build") required for success. He also said the people will serve me and not me serving them. I will be debt free in Jesus name.
I bought his book titled "Witchcraft in the Pews." He autographed the book for me and called me smart man for buying the last copy of the book. He came with other materials developed and produced by him. He especially has a Bible with God's word written in red in the old testament. the Bible's focus is on warfare against powers, principalities, wickedness in high places and authorities.

Success is not Cheap
It was an inspiring and empowering message from Romans 12 v2.
God does not take from us but adds to us. By his power, I must have confidence and dominion over my environment (finance, wealth, work, etc). God wants me to succeed so that I will promote his glory and power. GOD is not intimidated by my success.
I need to be determined to succeed.
Genesis 12 v1-3, 13 v14-16, 18 and 15 v1-6.
Read Jeremiah 6 v16.
The history of a place is important for success. Canada (from Kanata meaning "village") is based on discovery and made up of people who came in search of wealth - some found, most did not. Ontario means "sparkling waters" in local language. History shows that the co-existence of the French and English was based on survival and independence from America. Blacks fleeing from slavery found solace in Canada. the land has a lot of resources but the weather makes it difficult. Determination is a major requirement towards success in the country.

Till up your fallow ground
This was the title of the 2009 Adult harvest at All Souls Church Bodija, Ibadan by Ven. Olayinka the Vicar. I was privileged to be present and did the thanksgiving with the AYF. I caught up with lots of people e.g. Adedeji's, Mbuba and Fabode.
From the book of Isaiah, the vicar enjoyed us to examine and develop our unused talent and resources. We will need to do the work on the fallow ground and not God. It is after the work that harvest will come. The harvest might be now or in the future. The type of tilling (work) we do now will determine the quality and quantity of the harvest when it comes.
He gave about seven examples in the Bible of where work was done before harvest e.g. death of Christ (work) before salvation (harvest) could come into the world.
