In this book Rev. Kenneth .E. Haggin teaches on how to function always and win in God’s Plans, Purposes, and Pursuits. The writer   wrote that he was caught up into the spirit and he   began to see and understand man’s   plans as they related to God’s plans. He saw that many times men had plans   that were good and even thoroughly scriptural. But they were not God’s plan. According to the writer ‘The body of Christ has not seen any thing like what we will see when we   get to that place where we have God’s plan and purpose, not only for our own lives but also for the Church – and we are pursuing that plan’. The writer lets us into his personal life as to the   visitation he had of the Lord. He said the Lord came to him and said, ‘I bless all of my people as far as I can. But the reason there is not the move of God and the depth of the flow of the spirit, and the fullness of the manifestation of the Holy Ghost today   is because me...

I hear your call! I hear it far away; I hear it break the circle of these crouching hills. I want to view your face again and feel your cold embrace; or at your brim to set myself and inhale your breath; or like the trees, to watch my mirrored self unfold and span my days with song from the lips of dawn. I hear your lapping call! I hear it coming through; invoking the ghost of a child listening where river birds hail your silver-surfaced flow. My river’s calling too! Its ceaseless flow impels my found’ring canoe dawn its inevitable course. And each dying year Brings near the sea-bird call, the final call that stills the crested waves and breaks in two the curtain of silence of my upturned canoe. O incomprehensible God! Shall my pilot be my inborn stars to that final call to Thee O my river’s complex course?  

This book has eleven chapters and we shall take it from one chapter to another. In chapter one, Madam Bisi gets to meet Akin for the first time, as the writer puts it: Madam Bisi went towards the tree where the crowd was gathered. As she approached , her ears were thrilled by the most exciting drumming she had   ever heard… She forced her way through the crowd, and by the time she got as far as the boy, she was panting. ‘Akin’, she said. ‘Akin!’ The drummer boy turned round. There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were closed. Madam Bisi pressed the note into his hands ‘Take this boy, and God bless you’. He smiled again, but did not open his eyes. And then it dawned suddenly on Bisi that this boy had not merely closed his eyes out of the excitement of the day. He was blind. Such an attractive boy, too; and he was blind. Madam Bisi left. That was the first encounter Madam Bisi had with Akin. But Madam Bisi found it difficult to forget Akin which i...
