Dear Distinguished -- Remember your first love! 10

 Dear Distinguished, 

  How e dey go? Or better still, how do you do? I am as good as gold, thanks for asking. To be honest, I have no idea how to construct this letter but we trust the Holy Spirit for help; abi? 

Let's take a much needed flashback to the day you became born again. The  day you lifted up your heart to the heavens singing "no turning back, no turning back". Did you feel like the Lord should return that moment? Did you feel like screaming the good news at every bus stop before your house? Did you sit down in His presence, reveling in His love? You did ehn? So what happened to the joy of your salvation? 

I am speaking to you my dear; in the same vein, I am speaking to myself. What happened to us? When did we become so concerned about the cares of tomorrow? Why do we still struggle with the burdens we've casted on Jesus? What happened to the hunger and thirst that plagued our infant years? Why did we start feeling wise in our own sight? When did we become so familiar with the word of God? How did we get here?

My dearest, remember your creator in the days of your youth! Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works. Remember your first love! 

Let your light so shine before men. Else, He'll come quickly and remove your candlestick from it's place.


Selah,

The Distinguished.

7 Reasons why you shouldn't delve into a relationship as a teenager.

Relationships are really sweet. When I say relationship, I mean romance/love relationship. And if you’ll agree, teenage love relationships are usually the loveliest. You guys are still rocking your teen adventure, full of energy and glowing looks. Nowadays, it is somewhat strange to see an average 21st-century teenager who’s never been or isn’t in a love bond. They call it boyfriend and girlfriend and it’s been made so obligatory that there are some insecurities you feel when you are not in one. In my secondary school days, I could remember how guys who had no girlfriend were evacuated from groups in the class. Nobody wants to regard you if you’re not among. So, everyone seeks to have a love relationship even when they are far from the prerequisites. Having a love life in your teenage years isn’t a bad thing to do. Of course, there are folks whose relationship survived the storms and are now happily married. It works, but it’s almost rare. A lov...

Journey With My First Boo 2

Image
We started talking and he went to the issue of kissing but this time, he said he would not force me if I wasn't ready. I was deeply in love with him. (or so you thought) I closed all the windows so no one would see us and I said “Kiss me”. He kissed me and he said “let's have Sex”. {Insert mysterious tune here} I told him I was a Virgin and that there would be blood everywhere and he jokingly said, “how many tanks of blood do you have there?”. He told me there was a way he would do it and everything was going to be fine. I felt that I was ready and I was really going to have sex with him but I remembered something. My elder sisters got pregnant when they were teenagers and I was just 16 as at that time. I told him to stop that I wasn't ready. Then he stopped and told me he was leaving. That was the last time I saw him and the relationship ended. It has been 3 years since then and we haven’t been communicating. You can guess what my age is now, right. I am in my last l...
