  RESTORATION
  
  We  are   faced  with   major   and   knotty  challenges   that   by   God’s   grace    can   be   solved  appropriately .But   unfortunately,   at  times    some  of  these  problems     inflicted  on  us  are  caused   by  our   fellow   human  beings     by    their   deliberate or  delayed  actions   and/or     inactions e.g   fuel  scarcity,oppressions,non-payment  of  salary/stipend, delayed  graduation/unexplainable  “ no  admission”  , avoidable   suspense   or    denial     from    other   entitlements(by   justice or   right  not  favour    from  Government ),those  in  the  private  sector  including   some  philanthropists   are  not  left  out   ,they    or   some  of  them      share  in  the   oppressions   going  on  all  over  the  world.Also  in  Spiritual  things ,  either  in one’s  spirituality  or  spiritual  service ,  backslidings   are  seen  or   rampant.So,this     decline   in  non-oppressive/beneficial    human-human  relationships  that  brought    secular  challenges   and  the  decline  from  standard/ perfect    human-divine relationship   that  caused  spiritual   challenges   are  what “Restoration” February   2018  facebook  post  is  trying  to   portray,analyse  and  overcome.
  
  Error
  
  So ,   I   am   sorry   for  these   errors    in  the  January  2018  post.
  
  “one    have   to   pray”   one  is   singular   ,it  implies   the  correct  statement  is  “one  has  to  pray ”  but   we   can  say   how   many  …..  does  he  have?
  
  In  the  dress  section  “  They   can  dress  like  that   if  they  like  “  should  be   read  as  “They  may   dress  like  that  if  they  like”
 
  Herdsmen  or  cattle  rearing  people  or  cowboys
  
  In   dealing   with   these  set  of  people   including   insurgents,terrorists,militia,militants   because   of  the  nature  of  what  they   do  ,round table   discussion  with  their  leaders  or   those  close  to them  is  important  ,so  as  to  know  what  they  are  actually  looking   for  and   address  them   provided   they  are   within   the  confines  of  the  laws   of  the  land.Not  all  of  them   are  dangerous  ,there  was   a  cattle  rearing  man   I    was   discussing   with  recently ,that   mentioned  the  price(s)  of  the  cows ….
 
  Testimonies/testimony
  
  These   monthly   facebook   posts   I   won’t   like   them  to   be  avenues     for  discussing  futuristic  issues   rather    place  for  sharing  (monthly   or  quarterly)testimonies     of   accomplishments.Though   testimonies   are   things   we  can   share   every   now   and  then   or  everyday.When   I  gave   my  life  to Christ  in   late nineties- 90’s  and  I  subsequently    got  admission   into  a  Polytechnic, in  my   First   semester   Pre-National  Diploma   programme/program   my    result    among   all  the  science /technology   and  engineering  students   was  outstanding-Straight/parallel   A’s   . If   I   maintained   that  tempo/momentum  from   that  period  with  enough  counsel  and  funding ,by  now   I  would   have   become  Professor  of ……..Anyway  it  is   better   late   than   too  late.After    going   to    a  research   institute for  industrial  training  and  I  finished  my  diploma , I  applied   to  a  University     to  do  a  degree   program   in  engineering,  I   even  started    attending  lectures  but  I  was  not   given    admission, so   I   went  back   to  the  Polytechnic   where   I   got  Higher  National  diploma   with   a  result-CGPA-  that  is  a  little  fraction  to  distinction- or  first  class.I   served  my  country   in  the  one-year   National  Youth  Service  Corps  scheme    and  I  taught   in  Schools   including    industrial   work  as    quality  control   laboratory  technician. I  enrolled  for   a  degree   program   which  I  started    and  suspended.  Now /recently   when   I  saw   the  requirements   for  Master’s   program   I   filled  in/out   the   application  form   for   Master’s  program   but  the  institution   could’nt  proof   why  “No  admission  for  me”  after  admitting  three  batches  -ABC .At  the  Postgraduate    school  one  of  the  staff  mentioned  next  session  so  that  I  will  be in  the  first  batch……In   the   Church   I   sang   in  the  youth  and  campus  choir.In  those   days   I  usually   preach   frequently ,one  of the  people   I  preached  to  that  time    met  me  recently   and  said  she  is  now  a  pastor  in    a  Christian  ministry.etc  In   December   2017/January  2018. I    just   finished  an  online   training  in  Business   Administration  and  Management  that  is  akin   to  one  semester   on  campus . graduation dresses 2018
 
Spirituality
The Lord has done a lot of things for me/or through me the only thing is for me to recall when my relationship with God was very cordial and then try to return to that level and set a standard that, come what may I am not going to reduce spiritually to any level below that standard. Because if I draw the graph of my spirituallife from the time I became a Christian to now ,the curve will be a Zig-Zag line. You see that is not good at all .It must stop.It is not necessarily I went back to my past open sins such as boy friend/girl friend ,but to ensure preparedness for heaven - everyday with assurance by the grace of God, a consistent righteous living is indispensable. That is why enough grace and determination to remain holy is timely.No matter what is happening around you in the world today ,you should’nt yield to any temptation to lower your spiritual standard , because that is your ticket to heaven. Apart from righteous living , serve in the church and preach the gospel so that at the end of the day your righteousness will take you to heaven and your service to God and humanity will fetch you huge rewards . Ezekiel 22:30;Leviticus 6:12,13 Matthew 5:8;I John 3:3,9.
  The   Land  and   the  land   use   act.
  
  The   executive  arm   of  government     and   the  lawmakers  in  any  country   have   a  task   of  setting  up  laws   to  ensure  that    land   is  not   controlled   by  only     few  individuals  but      is  obtainable   by  everyone  -even  a  foreigner-     to  do   any  legal   business .
  
  Education
  
  Your    present   ,past  and  future   are    all  in  your  hands.If  for   instance   you  just  have  High   school  certificate    or     certificate  course     or  diploma   in  a  particular   program  and  you  so   much   planned  your  future   that  you  don’t   need   any  degree ,is  okay   like   that,   but   you   have   to  make  sure   the   qualification  in   your  possession  presently ,  go  through  it’s    courses’    syllabus  to  ensure   you  understand    virtually  everything    to  an  extent  that   you  can  teach   others .You  see  when    you  look    at  our  fingers   they   are  not  equal.Some   may  not   be   okay  until   they    get  their    degrees  online  or  on –campus   in  less  than  a  year  or  few   years  or  more    and   perhaps   become  professors.   But   the  most  important thing   is,   make  sure   that   course   or   program/me        you    read  it ,study  it  ,do   practicals/research   and   possibly    be  capable  of  teaching  others   efficiently.
  
  Our   children   in  schools   let  the  government  include  History,financial   studies /accounting,science  and  technology   ,  Mathematics   in  their  subjects. History  not  for   them  to  remember   and   never  forgive   those  that   fought   with   their grandparents  but    History  is  good  for  them   to  learn  about  any  past  mistakes    and  avoid  them.
 
  Sectors
  
  Here   are   solutions   to  all  your  challenges  wherever     you   come   from   and  whoever   you  are. I   am   going   to    discuss   five/six   sectors   that  can   independently     or    complementarily     provide   all  the  answers   to  your  questions  or  challenges.     Four  of    the   sectors   are   common  or  important   to  everyone  ,the  fifth   sector   is   an  elective/optional    course.
  
  -Public  sector
  
  -Knowledge  sector
  
  -Private  sector
  
  -Partnership   sector
  
  -Devils/Divine  sector.
 
Public Sector.
  The   public  sector   ought   to  contain  angel-like  people   that  are  practicing   democratic  system  of  government .As   the    elections   are    forthcoming   we  should   vote   for    these  angel-like  people   that  will   serve   everyone  .Those    employed   in  the  public  service   are  also   part  of  this  sector. The  laws  of  the   land   or   constitution   should   guide   their   selection  which  is  to  be     based  on  mainly  merit   or  any other   general   considerations.    But  it  is  unfortunate  that  some   public  servants  nowadays  act  like  those  in  the   private  sector  or  where   do  I   put  them  now.The   public  sector    workers  are   public  servants    ,  for   every work   there   supposed   to  be  someone   to  do  it
  
  And  be  paid  for  it.It  means    that   some   of    the  unnecessary   delays   or   sufferings   we   are   passing  through       today ,are   because   someone   refused/delayed    to  do   his/her  work
  
  Or   is   using   his/her    public  position   for     different  things – which  are   political  ends,especially   as  the  elections   are  approaching-quite  unfortunate.When  it  is   time  for  election    we  have  to  vote   for  people   that   will  change  all   these  oppressions    and   those   that  will  bring  security   of  lives  and  property. People    that  will  join  coalitions,consult  or  take   reasonable   pieces   of  advice   from  the  elders ,common  man  ,women,youths  ,etc   because  if   you    stand  alone  as   an  island  you  may  not  get  enough  votes  to  win  an  election.  Politicians   that   attach  value   to  security  of   lives   and  property. You   can  travel  to  anywhere   and  be  free  to  do  your  business  also  anywhere.
  
  Knowledge  Sector
  
  In  this   sector,  any    challenge   you  have  academically   meet   the  knowledgeable   people/intellectuals .  Professors  or  other  knowledgeable  people   in  a  the  academia   ,you  can   meet  them  face  to   face  or  online   to  solve/deal   with   your   knowledge –related   challenges.
  
  Private  Sector
  
  It   is  not  necessary   to  talk  much  on  this   sector,because   as       one  who    sells  or  buys      product/service    you   know  how  you  relate  with  your  customers    or  service/product   providers .the  lawmakers/public  sector   ought    to  enact   laws   or  establish  systems/mechanisms     to  regulate   the  activities    of  the  private  sector.
  
  Partnership  sector
  
  If  the   public  and   private  sectors   are  not   able  to  solve  some  challenges  ,  partnerships   with  other  countries   or  non-governmental   organizations  or  philanthropists    are  there  to  proffer   sincere  and  fast   humanitarian    answers  or  succor.
  
  Devils/Divine  Sector
  
  Here   the   sector  is   optional/elective   you  are  the   one  to  chose   one  of  them .   You   are  now   given   spiritual   sectors.   I    beg  you   for  the  sake   of  heaven   to  select  the  divine  sector  because  if  you    choose  it   and  remain  in  it   ,this  is  one  sector   that  has  no  any  impossibility   and  more  importantly   you  will   make  heaven  at   end  of  your  life time(after  100  years  or  so)
 
Song
  To   sing  or  singing  is  an  important  thing,but  a  situation  where  one  is   forced  or  coerced   to  listen   to  a  particular   song  is  a  bad  thing.Rather   let  all  the  singers  or   choristers     be  singing  and  as  you  hear  the  melodious   one/ones       or   they  mention   the  actual solution/s   to  your  challenges,  all   those   things     by  God’s   grace  they  will  be  disappearing   in  Jesus  name.
