Woman Crush Sunday (WCS): Magaret Idahosa

      Margaret Ekhoe Idahosa is the first female Archbishop in Africa (1998), She is the Archbishop of the Church Of God international Mission, She is also the first female University chancellor in Africa (2010) Benson Idahosa University .One of the intriguing thing about her is her willingness to step into the leadership role of her husband's ministry after his death. Wow! no wonder they say marry a woman that believes in your vision.
   She was born on the 29th of July 1943 to a royal family in Benin City, she was married to late Archbishop Benson Idahosa, the  union brought four biological children (3 women and 1 man), 3 adopted children and four grand children. Magaret Idahosa holds a Diploma in Home Economics from the Leeds Polytechnic (U.K), Bachelor's degree in Biblical studies, Master's degree in Divinity and Doctorate degree in Ministry of friends International Christain University, California, She also has a Masters in Education and a Honorary Doctorate from Oral Roberts University (USA).
   She is also an author of many books namely: Womb of Harvest, The Female Minister, Empowered for Radical change, Born naked not empty and many more .
  Magaret Idahosa was ordained into the ministry on May 24, 1983, she was first timid and clueless but by the grace of God she had made some achievements in the ministry namely:
. The establishment of the word of Faith group of schools, a network of 108 schools across Nigeria
. The establishment of the International Leadership Resource Institute to teach leadership and principles to pastors and church workers
. An orphanage home called ' My Sister's place'.
  Currently the church has over 4,000 branches in Africa, Europe, North America and Asia.
   One of her greatest challenges was becoming a Widow suddenly and of course stepping into a male dominated world( Gospel Ministry) but she has since developed a strong will to serve and utilize her potentials as seen in her words: " Before God there is no difference but traditionally we have a difference. If a man can fulfill the gift in him from the foundation, why can't a woman as well? "God is not mad at a man preaching and also a woman  preaching".
   The multi- millionaire pastor believes in one utilizing his/ her potential as a way of being fruitful. So what are you waiting for? Get into your own train.

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

Tired of giving!

Oops!it's been rain rain rain in this part of my world for the past one week.At times it can be really annoying,especially when you have planned a fun day and the rains come pouring down making the ground all wet and irritating.If there is anything I love to do,it is shopping.I had planned to go shopping and the rain wouldn't just go away so I threw caution to the wind and grabbed my little umbrella.Out in the rain I went,quickly hailed a cab and zoomed to the market. The entrance to the market was something else.Obviously like me,the rain couldn't deter so many people.People were milling around everywhere,even beggars sat put in their positions begging for alms from all who passed them.One of them particularly caught my attention.Unlike others he was standing,his buttons were all undone and I saw something like a rope connected to his navel,tracing the end,I saw something like a drip or something but some kind of satchet with some content in it in his hand and then there w...

Why do they keep staring?

In these few years God has blessed me with on earth,I have seen so many things:the good,the bad,the ugly.I am so curious about men and their way of thinking.He is driving on the road,he is looking,in the office,he is looking,in the park,he is looking,even in church he is looking...Chei!what is it?.He gladly boasts that every man is wired that way,he couldn't be different. Ladies,have you ever been looked at by a guy so badly that you almost puked?There are those whose stares make you feel like smacking them behind and saying,don't be silly!.There are others whose stares make you feel embarrased and uncomfortable but there are those who make you feel like a queen made to be worshipped.Hahah...yea,I know that feeling...hey,don't worry the feeling is mutual.I like it too.I mean who doesn't want to feel wanted?. However,I am particularly curious about why some men just go bonkers at the sight of a woman.Why his nose will trace a perfume to the owner?Why his mouth will hang ...
