UNFAZED

The Head Line of Punch Newspaper, I think read “HARD TIMES FOR NIGERIANS”. The news reiterated the reason I don’t read newspapers (BAD NEWS!!). I would prefer to read the news on Bellanaija/Linda Ikeji/Stella Dimokorkus.   With a lot of things going on us around us; the exchange rate issue, (A sister can’t even shop on Asos for now), the level of corruption, insecurity, increase in price of goods etc. fear can easily creep in.   We as children of God need to realize that we do not belong to this kingdom, WE BELONG TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN and things sure do operate differently. We need know that ONLY US can create and define our circumstances.   This is a level of assurance and confidence am still learning, which is KNOWING WHO BOLUWATIFE IS IN CHRIST. Moving away from negativity and saying to myself; that even in the midst of these economic conditions, I will still flourish. In the bible, people flourished during famine. It’s not like they had twenty head...

DON'T LET THE FEAR OF STRIKING STOP YOU FROM PLAYING THE GAME

According to Google; Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain or harm. It is amazing how afraid I can be in certain situations. I am pretty much a shy person and it takes a while for me to become bold or get comfortable in situations. So let me gist you about something that happened to me one fearful day; Last year I attended an interview at a law firm, (the story about the test is for another day) but on this particular day, I got to the firm pretty early. We were about five people to be interviewed that morning, I brought out my note pad and started revising some notes I had written down on possible interview questions which I googled to prepare myself. The lady in charge called the guy before me from the list which she had in her hands. I got up and asked the receptionist for the restroom. Inside the restroom, I spoke to myself in the mirror so as to build confidence. When I got back to the reception, after the whole waiting it was time! Phew, my...

NO TIME FOR GOD?

My Pastor preached a message on stage some three or four Sundays back and I was in awe. It wasn't the first time I had listened to his message or ripped the message to my phone, this time it was different. The man I saw in front of me said things that you had to know   who you are in Christ to be able to exercise so much authority. HMMMMMMMM... He mentioned something about him waking up in the middle of the night on his arrival to Lasgidi and he summoned the principalities in town to let them know he had arrived and the city cannot contain both him and them, I was like 'kiloderm', was the principality looking for your trouble or did he come to disturb you.  When I see the likes of Daddy Adeboye, Pastor Poju Oyemade and my Daystar Pastors, am like damn! I want to be like this, I want to speak with so much authority, I want to pray and see miracles happen, I want to have the God-faith that moves mountains, I want to be like Jesus that in the midst of a raging ...

LEARN A NEW SONG!!!!!

Image
There's this praise team leader in church that comes on stage to sing, and almost every time he gets on stage to sing, I'm sure of two songs he MUST sing. I know lots of people know one of the songs, but I'm not sure about the second song. The thing about these songs is that; they are soooooooooooooooooooooooo nice and you could incorporate different dance moves into the song, be it Shoki, Alanta or Baddo Lee dance. So yaaaaaaaaaay! I am going to write the lyrics to the song below for those that don't know the song already, just in case you come across the song on radio, television or even in church...  THOU WILL NOT CHEW THY MOUTH . ALL THE WAY by Eben We go dey hail Hail your name Day by day All the way (2x) We go dey hail Hail your name Day by day All the way (2x) All the way YOU ARE GOD  You are God You are not just big oooo You are not just large ooooooooo Your are a ...

LOOKING BACK TO 2015

Image
I know its FORWARD EVER BACKWARD NEVER!! but then I look back and give thanks to God for all he has done for me. 2015 had loads of challenges and  at a point I have actually thought of doing a stupid thing; COMMIT SUICIDE. It was as though I went from one form of difficulty into another. Soon afterwards depression sets in, and I got depressed a lot. I could be sitting down and out of the blues just start crying. I do actually acknowledge the fact that some people had it worse than I did, I know should be more grateful but then I couldn't. I was like yeah, they have their own challenges and I also have mine, we all have ours. Till now, the words on my lips are "IT COULD ONLY HAVE BEEN GOD!!!" There were days we had nothing at home, (we were very RICH), My PPA (Primary Place of Assignment) wasn't exciting; I had a boss that decided to make life miserable for me and I somehow allowed him get to me. I invested in my business and it hadn't ...
