A LITTLE LEAK CAN SINK A GREAT SHIP

1 Corinthians 10:12
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
The Christian life is full of so many trials and temptations. The Bible makes it clear that anyone that will live godly in Christ will surely suffer persecution (2Tim 3:12). We just can’t run from these trials just as we can’t prevent birds from flying over our heads, but we can prevent them from perching or building nest on our heads. So when you find ourselves at the low points of your Christianity, how do you react?_

Professionals would say, “Beware of little expenses, a small leak will sink a great ship”. This is a proverb reminding us that ‘Unchecked spending of small amounts of money can erode our funds over time.’ The same applies to your faith in times of trouble.

Trying times can lead to people compromising their faith in God. They could go as far as renouncing their faith or running to other sources of power. Job was tested and in the midst of his trial his wife suggested to him to curse God and die. Abraham waited for the promise and at a certain stage, knowing that age was no longer on his side he succumbed to his wife’s suggestions to have the maid bear a child for them. What thought is running through your mind due to the challenges you have been facing? Are you contemplating quitting church? Are you contemplating visiting the native doctors (Babalawos)? Have you decided to go after that man and do his bidding because no one has proposed marriage to you till now? Is the only option you now have - to give your body to your boss, lecturer, employer to make them give you your request or wish? Are you staggering in faith? What is the leak or crack on your ship?

It takes one little leak to sink a ship. When a small leak is left unchecked, it gradually begins to expand and gives room to water flooding the ship and in no time the vessel in under water it sinks. 
A little compromise you may say – one step after another in the wrong direction and your faith begins to collapse. Soon you will begin to hear friends tell you words that will make you feel you have endured long enough. You hear words like, ‘Heaven helps those who help themselves’. You begin to feel forsaken and your spiritual ears become deafened to the words of the Spirit. You no longer want to hear those promises from the Bible. Before long, your prayer life deteriorates; no more interest in the Bible and what you would never entertain in the past becomes what you enjoy most. May this never be your portion.
Beloved, the Lord has assured us that He will never leave or forsake us (Heb 13:5). As you have put you hands on the plow, do not look back (Luke 9:62). Avoid that leak because it can sink the ship. Keep the faith. Do not throw away your confidence; for it will be richly rewarded (Heb 10:35).
Faithful Father, I put my confidence in You. Help me to keep my ship well protected from cracks and leaks that I may endure to the end. I know I will share my testimony soon, keep me strong, in Jesus name.

Ckay’s Song ‘Emiliana’ Gets Platinum Certification In France!

Nigerian singer, Chukwuka Ekweani popularly known by his stage name Ckay, achieved a milestone as his song ‘Emiliana‘ gets a platinum certification in France.
His song got the certification after getting an equivalent of 30 million streams in the french-speaking country.
The Syndicat National de l’Édition Phonographique (National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing), the professional organisation in charge of French records, made this known on their official Instagram page on Tuesday.
Ckay also shared the announcement on his verified Instagram page.
‘Emiliana’ had bagged a gold certification in France in April after he sold 100,000 units of the song in the country.
The singer has already achieved double-platinum certification in France with his 2019 global smash hit ‘Love Nwantiti’.

‘Love Nwantiti’ garnered over two billion views on TikTok and 500 million more on YouTube. The song has also charted on six continents, hitting No. 1 in India, Norway, and Switzerland.

Ckay’s fans had expressed disappointment last week when his hit songs, Emiliana and Love Nwantiti, didn’t make the 2022 Headies nomination list.
However, the singer had promised his fans that his album, scheduled to be released later this year, will make history.

Three weeks ago, Ckay became the only Nigerian to make the 2022 Time‘s Next Generation Leaders list.

The Time‘s Next Generation Leaders list recognises young people from across fields and around the globe “who are working to build a better world”.

Time described Ckay as one of the most successful African recording artists ever on a global scale.
