Hearty Birthday Wishes



"If by any means, we have seen further, it is because we have been privileged to stand on shoulders of fathers – Isaac Newton."

This is usually the first way, I like to describe my experience with a great man who is the subject matter of this piece. I was once upon a time, like a sheep without a shepherd wondering in the wilderness. Battered, broken, rejected and dejected.
I had served in a place before. I made mistakes and had issues with my superiors and got kicked out. Again, I served another man was called weak and unproductive. Once again, I was kicked away like a piece of rubbish into an old dark store.
Whilst I was in the land of nowhere licking up my sores and nursing my wounds, I had a voice on ‘Wisdom for Winning’. He said to me “The darkest... part of the night is the closest to the morning”. Reflecting on the things I had been through, I thought he didn’t understand. Then as if he knew my thoughts, said to me, “The most anointed is usually the most afflicted”. 
I thought again to myself: I’ve been mishandled, misused, abused and overused until I have become a shadow of myself. The said again to me, “You are only going through your silent chapters”.
Then I ran to the House On The Rock to, not only to hear, but to see this man for myself. He told me that whatever the devil has stolen from me, I can still TAKE IT BACK. He said, “Whatever it is you are going through, YOU ARE NOT ALONE; he thought me about SURVIVING TOUGH TIMES, helped me work on DEALING WITH LOW SELF ESTEEM; told me ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE; He taught downloaded to me powerful and life changing messages like:
DEAL GENTLY WITH ABSALOM
THE POWER OF INFRSTUCTURE
MAKE GOD FAMOUS
FIVE THINGS THE DEVIL KNOWS ABOUT YOU
Introduced me:
THE DOMINION MANDATE and.
Armed me with:
POWER FOR STRATEGIC LIVING
The other day, he came up with something he called SUNDAY UNSUAL, selected a hand full of guys that didn’t look like they were going anywhere, of which I happen to be one, and put the microphone in our hands. Be brushed me up, befriended me and gave me a platforms to perform.
Sometime last year, he just woke me up in His characteristic manner woke me up and commanded me to appear in Lagos for an international training, all expenses paid.
The other day, he started a radio program called LEAN ON ME WITH ED, and put little me on show for my voice to be heard. He’s been a massive blessing me and my life has never been the same since he came my way.
What shall I say? He is the voice you hear on WISDOM FOR WINNING; the brain behind LEAN ON ME WITH ED; the Chief Consultant in DIP Consulting and the Resident Pastor of House On The Rock, the Word House, Enugu. A father to fathers, a mentor to mentors and a Pastor to Pastors. Husband of one wife; father of six children.  I’m talking about none other than my spiritual father, my mentor, my coach and my Pastor, Pastor Edwin Biayeibo.
Superfluous Birthday Wishes.
