KEEP TELLING YOUR CLASS MATES 'MY DADDY IS COMING

It was midterm 'open day in my children's school. My first born told me after the family devotion ' Daddy,please come to my school by 10a.m. My friends said their dad or mum are coming and I told them; my daddy too is coming' I was about stepping out of the office some minutes to 10a.m to go for the open-day excerise when I saw a man and his wife coming for counselling. It was a serious issues that needed my attention. Before I could finish with them, it took few hours. Meanwhile, over there in my son's class, his friends were already making jest of him ' Wonder, you said your dad is coming, where is your dad? He kept telling them, ' my dad will come. He told me he is coming and I know he will come. He might come late, but he will come' Other children in the class that their parents had come for their own open day excerise were bragging and mocking my son that his daddy is not coming and that he is just lying. It got to a time, my son was loosing hope, it was getting really late and school closing time was getting nearer. The jesting continued. It got to a time, he was looking like a liar. He was trying to be brave and fighting his tears from falling. I finished all the counselling and I drove to their school. As I stepped out of the car, my son saw me from afar and he started jubilating, saying with excitement, ' my daddy is here! I told all of you that he might come late, but he will come!, My daddy is here...' As I entered into the class, the whole class gave me the usual class welcoming greeting. I noticed my son's eyes was looking dull and bright at the same time..I asked him if he was crying. It was then his class teacher told me all the drama that happened between him and his friends. I heard some of his friends saying, Wonder's daddy has come, now, Wonder is happy. Are there people reading me now that people are already asking you ' When is your Daddy (God) coming for you over this your situation you are passing through?' May be you have been telling them, my Daddy (God) is coming to heal me, He is coming to make me fruitful. He is coming to change my story. He is coming to give me my own spouse. He is coming to bless my business and remove this limitation from my life. My Daddy is coming to bring me out of this tight corner. Friend, has it started looking as if your are just boasting about a Daddy (God) that is no where to be found ? Are your friends, family members , in-laws, neighbours already calling you ' a liar'? Are you loosing hope already over that situation and you are thinking, am I sure my Daddy is going to come? May be as a result of the insult, jesting, mocking you are getting from your ' class mates' your eyes are already full of tears day and night. You wet your pillow with tears. May be you even cried today before seeing this post. Cheer up my dear friend, your Daddy (God) is 'driving' into your 'school compound' now and when He steps down from His 'car' into your 'class' (situation) every one and anything that have been mocking you and asking you ' Where is your Daddy?' shall all give your Daddy (God) a standing and a bowing ovation to acknowledge that, surely 'Your Daddy has come!' and your secret tears shall be replaced with a public smile and laughter. Hold on oh dear wearied soul. I say to you friend, your Daddy (God) is coming! It might look as if it is getting late, but be encouraged. Keep telling your 'class' mates ' My Daddy is coming! It might look late, but my Daddy (God) is coming to bless, heal, favour, lift, help, and prosper me! I believe this will minister encouragement to someone here. Thanks for reading.

AYAM CEMANI CHICKEN

Ayam Cemani is an uncommon and relatively modern breed of chicken from Indonesia. They have a dominant gene that causes hyperpigmentation (Fibromelanosis), making the chicken entirely black; including feathers, beak, and internal organs. Ayam means "chicken" in Bahasa Indonesia. Cemani refers to the village on the island of Java whence this breed of chicken originates. The breed originated from the island of Java, Indonesia and have probably been used for centuries for religious and mystical purpose. The breed was first described by Dutch colonial settler and first imported to Europe in 1998 by Dutch breeder Jan Steverink. Currently, these breed of chicken are kept in the Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. It is thought that Ayam Cemani may have also been brought to Europe by Dutch seamen. Their beak and tongue, black comb and wattles; even their meat, bones and organs appear black. The blood of the Ayam Cemani is normally colored.The birds' black color occurs as a result of excess pigmentation of the tissues, caused by a genetic condition known as fibromelanosis.This gene is also found in some other black fowl breeds.The roosters weigh 2–2.5 kg and the hens from 1.5–2 kg. The hens lay cream-colored eggs with a slight pink tint, although they are poor setters and rarely hatch their own brood. Eggs weigh an average of 45g. Ayam Cemani get their black coloring from a generic trait known as ‘fibromelanosis’, that promotes the proliferation of black pigment cells. The gene that causes fibromelanosis is a mutation that existed in Asia more than 800 years ago. The mutation made its way to other chicken variety, such as the Swedish Black Hen, or Svart Hona, which has the same fibromelanistic traits as the Ayam Cemani, and hence, as black as the Indonesian breed. In Asia, Ayam Cemani are highly regarded because their meat is believed to have mystical powers. Their meat is thought to be higher in Iron, therefore beneficial to women before and after childbirth. Birds are sometimes sacrificed during childbirth believing fortune will come to the labouring mother. The chicken is also sacrificed on other special occasions, as it is thought to bring luck. Some Asian people believe that eating this chicken will ease their conscience, and their crowing brings prosperity. The chicken lays cream-colored eggs – the only part of Ayam Cemani that is not black. However, being poor sitters, they don’t roost and therefore the only way to hatch eggs is to incubate. Wowwwww, our God is so great........ do you want to have a taste of this rare chicken then why don't you go to the market and have the sweet taste of total blackness....... Hahahaha.......
