Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out?  Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on? I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through. Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there! You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke. Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with. ...

Today I want to share something about faithfulness. Faithfulness,according to google,  is the concept of unfailingly remaining  loyal  to someone or something, and putting that loyalty into consistent practice regardless of extenuating circumstances. Literally, it is the state of being full of  faith  in the sense of steady devotion to a person, thing or concept. In my understanding, it is being consistently committed to a course or person regardless of what comes your way. I want to focus on the things that we have been called to do or the things that we find per time to do. Sometimes we can get so lackadaisical about stuff when no one is watching or when others are playing their part. Sometimes its really because we don’t have enough drive to do what we really want to do. Sometimes, factors beyond our control can be the cause. Sometimes its because we have not exactly decided to take up responsibility by ourselves. Sometimes we don’t have knowledge ...

Today, I’m going to share something very unusual of me to share. Its simply what God has placed in my heart to share. Holiness.  I’m continually understanding holiness to be a honest walk with God and an openness to do his will regardless of the things that are around. Its simply to be set apart. To be separate. To be distinct. Thus separating ones self from everything that defiles. Its identifying what God would have you do and giving yourself to it. Its allowing God to have his full way in your lifes- that’s like a surrender to God’s way of doing stuff. Malachia.3:3 says And he shall sit  as  a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.  Our heavenly father wants to make us into the persons he would have us be-Holy. Releasing who we are to his style of doing things. When Love calls us to be holy, we can be sure that ...

Yipee!!! I thought I should write about my birthday. So people who I had not communicated with in a while flooded my timeline with birthday wishes and it was very overwhelming. I was especially thrilled by the several words that came as people sent their wishes and prayers that came especially on phone. Most of them words were words I had never heard them say and they were oh very soothing words. I’d be sincere with you I wish that day never ended. I wish I could just pause time and freeze up in that day. There really no plan to mark it on my path. I was just going to sit gently in my house and do whatever comes up spontaneously and that was exactly what happened on my path. The height of it was hearing from people I had not heard from in a long time. That was just lite!! I could literally answer that scripture where GOD SAID- Behold I am doing a new thing, can’t you perceive it?- Oh yes I did; I did perceive new stuff, and I know it was just God doing His thing. I felt...

We live in a time and age where everyone wants to define things by themselves, have minds of their own and make decisions or take steps all by themselves without been interrupted in anyway. Whilst this is a great feat, it begins to tilt in the wrong direction when certain elders cannot intervene in the affairs of your life. Today I want to share about the role of parents on our lives. I’ve been doing a bit of bible study in that direction and its incredible the light that keeps sinning in my path. Samson in the bible was a great man. The bible says that he was filled with the Holy Spirit from his birth. He was known right from time that he was going t be a super strong man in the community. He grew up to be one of Israel’s judges. However when it was time for him to take a woman for a wife, he went for a philistine woman. His warned him not to go for the philistine woman because the philistines were pagans. However he refused. I like how contemporary English Version puts it, it say...

This post is exactly one month dew. :) I had it on written out,however I couldn't post it on my bog because of issues with my laptop. Its amazing that it is already one year since my last birthday. It was during my internship year as a medical house officer.  I had ordered some cake to do a little something but a beautiful soul decided to add one more to it saying I cannot be giving people small small pieces of cake. (lol) That year was a very eventful year for me personally. I like to have this thing with God where we get down to have a word or song that marks the year. I stumbled on this song by bethel music-  Reckless Love . The lyrics of this song sits so well with me. I especially like the part that says- ‘…there’s no shadow you won’t light up, mountain you won’t climb up  coming after me; There’s no wall you won’t kick down, lie you won’t tear down , coming after me…’ It was more like my anthem song. The year was full of a whole lot of good an...

Couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog post about how good it is to spend a good enough time on the Gods word. Here is the post. Today I would like to lay emphases on how time is not t he determinant factor of whether we actually get the word or not. As good as it is to spend a good enough time on the word, sometimes life doesn’t make that happen at a stretch. We get occupied with work, schooling, family, and other activities that are very essential to our lives. However, a good justice can be done to studying the word even in a short time. So I like to see this as the time difference in time taken to prepare noodles and that used to prepare pounded yam and egusi like I wrote (in the previous post on good food) here. David in the bible said he praised God 7 different times during the day. As much as he knew that he was necessary to praise God, he did not ignore the other responsibilities he had to lead his family and the nation of Israel. Psalm 119:164- Seven times a day do ...
