BEYOND THE MATTERS OF ETERNITY - A LOOK DOWN THE MEMORY LANE OF PAST WINNERS OF US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS


 
While congratulating all our followers in America on their election of a new president for the United States of America, BEYOND THE MATTERS OF ETERNITY this week takes you down the memory OF PAST WINNERS OF US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.

I love history and find this particularly INTERESTING. For instance, I never knew there was a time a President of the United states did 4 terms! A former governor of New York, "Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940 won the election for his third term. Four years later in 1944, he ran again. He became the only president to be elected to a fourth term.  He also served as president of the United States for 4422 days, making him the longest serving president. He served from 1932-1944." 

BY THE WAY,  DONALD TRUMP'S VICTORY HAS PROVED ONCE AGAIN THAT GOD IS THE ONE THAT QUALIFIES THE UNQUALIFIED. HE THAT THINKS HE STAND SHOULD TAKE HEED LEST HE FALLS (1 Cor.10:12). NOBODY (NOT EVEN THE WORST OF SINNERS) SHOULD BE WRITTEN OFF, EVEN IN THE RACE TO ETERNITY...
"Donald Trump defied all expectations from the very start of his presidential campaign more than a year ago.
Very few people thought he would actually run. He did. They thought he wouldn't climb in the polls. He did. They said he wouldn't win any primaries. He did. They said he could never overcome resistance from the Republican establishment and win his party's nomination. He did.

Finally, they said there was no way he could compete for, let alone win, a general election matchup with Hillary Clinton. Now he's President-elect Trump."




Another interesting fact is that while the last president (Barack Obama) was the FIRST BLACK to be elected president, Mrs. Hillary Clinton would have been the FIRST FEMALE president, even as the family would also have gone down in history as the FIRST FAMILY (husband and wife) to have served as presidents.  By the way, I was already wondering what the husband would be called this time if the former FIRST LADY had won the presidency. FIRST MAN? FIRST GENTLEMAN? No need anymore as she lost gallantly, against all expectation.

While saints should keep praying for the democracy in our country (Nigeria) to grow and possibly surpass that of the United States (who we copied), it is important to use this medium to urge the saints of God to be open and receptive to the will of God, should He be leading them to go into politics to achieve divine agenda. We must REMAIN HEAVENLY FOCUSED AND RELEVANT BUT BE EARTHLY RELEVANT AND USEFUL in every sphere of life!

THE SAINTS OF OLD SERIES - PROPHET DR. T.O. OBADARE (BIRTH, CALL & MINISTRY)

  Introduction Ogo ni fun Olorun l’oke orun. Mo tun wi leekan si pe ogo ni fun Olorun l’oke orun. E jeki a gbadura (Glory be to God in heaven. And I say once again, glory be to God in heaven. Shall we pray?)[1] This slogan echoed over the Nigerian airwaves, especially in south-western Nigeria, for close to four decades. Each time it echoed, those who were familiar with it easily identified the voice of Apostle (Dr.) Timothy Oluwole Obadare, one of the indigenous prophets of the land, who was the General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) (Worldwide); the Executive Director of World Soul-Winning Evangelistic Ministry (WOSEM) and the President of the Interdenominational Ministers’ Association of Nigeria (IMA). Formerly of The Apostolic Church (TAC), he worked with the church for a period of four years, 1953 to 1957, before he was brought into the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) by Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola in 1957. Having joined the CAC, he work

THE SAINTS OF OLD – PA S.G. ELTON (Part 1)

I have been trying (for over 3 months now) to do a research on the late Pa S.G. Elton, who is widely considered to be the father of Pentecostalism in Nigeria before featuring him on this platform. However, someone circulated this via What Sapp and I am using it as a platform to start a 3 part series on him. Enjoy the write up below. Your feedback and comments will be highly appreciated. Also feel free to send to  eternity.reminders@gmail.com  any useful article(s) in this regard.  Shalom! LOOKING BACKWARD: In order for us to understand the origin of the prosperity “gospel” and the present reign of mammon in the Church today, we cannot but talk about the man who almost single-handedly established the Pentecostal movement that led to the Pentecostal Churches of Nigeria today. Before then all we had were mostly the “orthodox” Churches with strong controls and hierarchy of the ministers. We did not have the “one-man” Churches of today. ALSO READ JOSEPH AYO BABAL

THE SAINTS OF OLD (NIGERIAN SERIES): PROPHET DR T. O. OBADARE - HOW HE WENT TO BE WITH THE LORD...

Apostle Timothy Oluwole Obadare went to be with the Lord on March 21, 2013 at the ripe age of 83. According to reports, he had been confined indoors for some years, but was said to have struggled to attend the March edition of the Koseunti Prayer meeting on March 1, 2013. He was brought to the church premises but could not come down from the car. When the news of his death came in, it dawned on the members that perhaps their leader had wanted to attend the meeting for the last time.[47] Apostle Timothy Obadare is survived by his wife, Elizabeth E. A. Obadare, six children, many grandchildren and great grandchildren.      Governor Aregbesola being welcome to the burial ceremony by Mama Obadare & 2 sons Personal Qualities Many extolled the virtues of this great Apostle of Christ.
