God has used various people at different times to make this book possible. Rev. Mike Oye deferred his trip and shut himself indoors, reading and making useful corrections. I was greatly humbled and unworthy of such honor. Gbile Akanni remains an inspiration. His brief counsels dropped here and there, any time we met, were very helpful. For my pastor, Rev. Clement Anegbe, I remain grateful. His rugged faith was contagious during the times of my numerous afflictions. Rev. Anegbe has since gone to his reward. Jacob Tsado and Isaiah IIo edited the book. Timothy Olonade, once my team leader, was a motivator. For the ten years I worked under him, he con- tributed to my growth in my writing ministry. Augusta Otukoya (Nee Obaso- han) did the layout and cover design of the first edition. Again, Augusta has since joined the saints triumphant. My brethren in CAPRO Media, Jos, creat- ed the right atmosphere for my growth. My dear wife, Felicia, supported me during those hours of labor and prayer. My father, Louis Emeh of blessed memory, like Hannah of the Bible, in spite of the grumbling of the world, released me unconditionally to the Lord to serve Him in a terrain with no trace of earthly gain. I must not fail to mention my numerous friends, elders and fathers in the faith. The Lord has, at various times, used them to wash my feet and refresh my spirit. This second edition could not have come out at the time it did if not the role Taiwo Oladejo played to make it possible. First of all, after reading the only copy with me, the book having been out of print since year 2004 or thereabout, Taiwo impressed it on me to work on a second edition. He picked the book and re-typed it. I remain grateful to him. Finally, I must acknowledge my Lord Jesus who is daily working in me to fashion out a tested and tried vessel. This book is His.
