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.

where have Amanda been?

Wish I could begin to tell all the tales just on this page as concisely as possible.It will be an uphill task both for me and you too dear reader.However,October was a very busy month for me.Imagine,not having time to pen down anything for you to read?It was just too muddled up.Started with twin bombings in Abuja where I reside and then the loss of a very dear aunt.It was just too emotional for me but you can bet I am back on this blog for good.Lets keep keeping on and most importantly stay saluting the creator and giver of life.Life is a treasure no man should be quick to part with!

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.

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
