Just Say "Amen!"

My dear telenovela friend, Nneka Obi, sent me this amongst many mails I received this Monday. It fits perfectly well with the spirit of the season. The fresh anointing for perfection. I love it and that is why I wish to share it with you.

It is a viral prayer letter being sent round the web by people all over the world from Dubai to U.K, to China, etc. It has a 'lifting' effect on my spirit, and could even be used as a daily prophecy you proclaim every day to motivate yourselves for optimum accomplishments as we enter the second-half 'match' in the game of 2007. Thanks Nneka for this, I love it...

All you have to do is personalize it by changing the 'you' into- I ... I ... I, then you would radiate robust confidence of a king or queen rising up from his or her throne, to issue decrees from the palace, and which every subject, in this case, (situations and circumstances) must comply with.

JUST SAY "AMEN!"
Because you will see the invisible , you will do
the impossible ...

Because you will touch the intangible you will
achieve the incredible....

Because you will hear the inaudible, you will
have the unimaginable ....

Because of you, your family will not know
poverty. You will go in and out of your house in
peace....

Violence and crying of sorrow shall not be heard in your camp...

Because you are God's Idea and God cannot fail, you shall not fail this year...

Favor shall overwhelm your endeavors
You shall not struggle to be recognized...

Your gift shall announce you...

You are entitled to daily fruitfulness...

Every darkness in your life shall give way to the light of God...

All your lack will give way to abundance...

The rejected shall become the selected...

People shall hear your testimonies and follow you to God...

In everything you do, you will succeed. ..

By the time this 2007 ends, you will look
back with joy; and ahead with great
expectations...

You will take charge of your life as you master
your time ...

You will discover how to maximize your time and add value to it ...

You will become the star of your family
and the hope of your generation...

Because you know where you are going,
the whole world will step aside and follow
you...

May you find favor with God and men...

May you grow in wisdom and stature ...

May you walk in dominion over every circumstance and situation...

For the remaining part of the year 2007, never forget to:
Act as if it were impossible to fail ..

Because for people like you and me,
the word failure does not exist...

Your success is non-negotiable ...

This will be the greatest year of your life and the beginning of unprecedented success in your life!

Those who laughed at you before shall come to laugh with you...

However bad it has been with you till this point, you shall from henceforth enter into the rest and;

God shall take you to the place of your
greatness and destiny.

You shall have visions that are clear ,
virtues that are right and victory that is
certain...

You are blessed beyond curse, raised above terror and established beyond oppression...

You shall not lack counsel and ideas...

You shall have eyes that see, ears that hear and a heart that understands...

In place of breakdown you shall have
breakthrough; In confusion, you shall be
enlightened; and in weakness, you shall be
strengthened...

There shall be for you beauty in place of ashes, the oil of gladness in place of spirit of
heaviness...

Every closed door against your goodness, greatness and destiny shall open of their own accord...

You shall be instructed and illuminated within by the Spirit of God...

You shall do the right thing at the right time...

You shall rise above every obstacle and be carried on the wings of eagle...

God will remember you for good...

You shall fulfill and not frustrate destiny...

GOD shall continually dwell in you...

AND MAY YOU FIND THE HEART TO SEND THIS PRAYER TO
THOSE YOU HOLD DEAR.....

"Serve Me For Six Months"

A big quarrel broke out the next day between Martina and Emilia on the one hand, and Catalina and Luisa on the other hand. Martina called them unprintable names for deceiving her brother(?). Catalina and sister were confused, wondering how the foreman be a brother to the daughter of Guadalupe.

Two strange women, Antonete and Emilia sealed their agreement with an understanding to get Sebastian to impregnate Emilia, now that Catalina has supposedly been taken out of the way.

The Negrete family were afraid to return to their debt-ridden penthouse in Mexico. Creditors were awaiting them, to put Gustavo into jail for multiple loan defaults. Alicia offered her flat as a refuge for them, Adela characteristically despised the offer, but in the absence of alternatives, she swallowed her pride and accepted to hide for a while in Alicia's until the atmosphere is cool.

Emilia started intense lobby and wooing of Sebastine. At last, Sebastian came out of his huge depression and addressed Catalina with the terms of divorce settlement: " ... SERVE ME FOR SIX MONTHS AS MY WIFE, FULFILLING YOUR OBLIGATIONS AND I WOULD GIVE YOU YOUR FREEDOM AND DIVORCE AFTERWARDS!"

Sebastian went round the town to warn everybody to cooperate with him by maintaining the lie that he was don Lupe's son.

Time of repentance has come and Catalina went to the prayer altar. When the priest questioned her about what was bugging her, she confessed that it was her parents who wanted Sebastian's money and she cooperated with their evil plan and lies. She however told the man of God that, she has genuinely fallen in love with Sebastian. She was afraid Sebastian would not believe her.

STRANDED!

stranded catalinaSebastian was grossly disappointed to realize that Catalina and her family deceived him. He angrily walked away from the wedding ceremony. As the Negrete family tried to leave the 'stinking village' there told by their foe, Emilia that she had sent the Limousine driver to leave without them, they were astonished to find out that they were stranded.

Emilia made sure, with the help of Carmelo, that no room the only hotel in town was made available for the Negretes. When they arrived there, the manager told them that all rooms were fully booked and no vacancy.

Catalina angrily walked out on her family and headed for the woods, Alicia followed in her footsteps. They got lost in the forest and stumbled on a grieving Sebastine. It was a bitter encounter as Catalina demanded for Divorce and Sebastian vowed to to give her a divorce easily. He left her in the forest and walked out. It was old Panchito who led her out of the forest and took her to the church where she got a refuge for the night.

Petra came to the rescue of the wandering, humiliated and stranded Negrete family. She took them to spend the night in her shack. Adela in her vanity despised the house of Petra, calling it below standard. Gustavo was humble and grateful enough for the refuge.

Sebastian apologized to Lupe for for not having believed in his 'wisdom' which ultimately exposed the Negrete family and Catalina as gold-diggers, but he clearly stated that he was not ready to end the affairs with Catalina, and he would make her to pay a high prize for her treachery and deception.

Enter Jessica! Old family lawyer and friend of Lupe. His name is Chucho, he is that grandfather of this girl called Jessica. She too, like Emilia was obsessed with Sebastian. She was counting on her grandpa's influence as the Mendoza family lawyer, to woo or even trap Sebastian into a love tango with her.

Meanwhile in Mexico city, Silvia and Eduardo were finding it difficult to co-habit. Eduardo too felt stranded with Silvia with the departure of Catalina for the Sebastine Mendoza ranch. Luis, his friend told him that he has a "second chance" because the marriage of Catalina and Sebastian did not take place after all, from the gists supplied by Alicia from Hacienda. Eduardo was happy and began to plan to divorce Silvia, so that he could marry Catalina.
