"Your destiny is not just to be blessed; but being blessed, that you may ultimately become a blessing."In Covenant Secrets of Financial Blessing, the author, Oluwasina Emmanuel Oluwaleke unveils the covenant secrets to access the wealth and riches God has provided for the fulfillment of your life's purpose and destiny. They are called covenant secrets because they work based on your covenant relationship with the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ. The wealthy people have secrets that are only known to them. But thanks to God who has seen your struggles in this area; the secrets of prosperity are laid bare throughout the pages of this book.This is a practical handbook that shows you how to tap into the vast riches of Christ, which was placed within your reach through His finished work on the Cross-in order for you to live the life that God has called you to live upon the earth without compromise. The author's intention is to show us how to be financially blessed, without compromising our integrity, despite the vicissitudes that characterize the economy of our nation and the world at large. God wants you to stand out, not just spiritually but financially too. Like Isaac in the land of the Philistines, God wants you to become a voice and a witness in a hostile and volatile economic environment. This book presents you with God's blueprint for your prosperity in such an environment. "God is raising Isaac-like sons in this prophetic hour; sons whose financial empowerment would not be tied to the economic policies, measures, and potentials of any nation. Their lives shall be independent of the vicissitudes that mark the economy of the nations. However, their financial strength and base shall be in their understanding and faithful walking in the covenant.To this Isaac generation, the covenant would become to them a position of strength to fight the economic adversity of their nations. Furthermore, it would offer them spiritual leverage to stand out economically in the midst of the prevailing economic disaster. The divine purpose for the rise of this Isaac generation is that they might become powerful witnesses to the Lord in the nations as Isaac was among the Philistines." "God has abundance of good works He is doing upon the earth today and He does them through His children. But how can His children do these good works if they lack financial blessing on their lives? Therefore it is God's design and intention for His children to have financial abundance so they can give cheerfully and generously to every good work, for God loves a cheerful giver Abundance is for good works, not personal consumption.""In order to reap bountifully, you must learn the habit of sowing bountifully. Generosity begets prosperity, meanness begets poverty. Faith to receive is in the faith to give. Faith to take is embedded in the faith to lay down."
When you grieve, the world changes. However, much of the writing on grief is from outside the process, like viewing a distant planet through a telescope. The Unwanted Blessing is written by a father at the center of it all, who is dealing with the loss of a son to cancer. Like an astronaut sending back pictures from Mars, he offers instead an orientation to this new world through close up, first hand snapshots of the landscape. Here, rather than providing answers for or distractions from the grief itself, he offers a collage of feelings, events, questions, and prayers. The new terrain is reflected back stripped of any intellectual veneer or assent to understanding, and this new world is laid bare at your feet. In acknowledging the way it is, the book provides signposts of comfort in simply letting the reader know that they are not alone. Perhaps, it proposes, grieving is about going to where God is absent for a bit so that we can find him again. Perhaps, grieving is more central to God's story than the events that cause the grief. Perhaps, it is God's unwanted blessing. ""The Unwanted Blessing is a beautiful and heartbreaking love song--to lost children, to God, even to pain and grief. This book of scattered poems, pictures, and letters is a reminder that life is both a gift and utterly beyond our control."" --Stefany Anne Goldberg, author, Dead People ""Simply said, Jim is the real deal and his words offer a thoughtful reflection on the death of a loved one in the midst of living, while somehow inviting a deeper connection to God."" --Tavye Morgan Triemer, spiritual director ""The Unwanted Blessing hits the core of those who have been touched by loss too early. The pursuit to move forward shadowed by grief is a testament to a super human condition."" --Vince Zangaro, Alzheimer's Music Fest E. J. Stallings is a poet/writer whose second language is music, or a musician whose second language is poetry and the rhythm of the soul. His creative output is infused with a musical sensibility that can only come through decades of weaving musical tales from rhythm and melody. Often, his poems appear as literary photographs or renderings that combine the physical world around him with the spiritual world within. But, whether working with sounds, or syntax, or a combination of the two, he uses the subtleties of cadence and inflection to capture both the reality and the emotional essence of an idea. In addition to writing poetry, inspirational prose, books and articles on music, he has written for a wide variety of musical settings from the Grammy award winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, to more intimate settings for weddings and contemplative chamber ensembles. Always eager to engage a different perspective, Jim has participated in writing workshops with noted authors and journalists such as, B.H. Fairchild, The Rev. Debbie Blue, and Alissa Wilkenson. E.J. holds degrees from Catawba College, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Georgia State University. His collection of poems, The Unwanted Blessing, is sure to resonate with, engage, challenge, and befriend the reader.
