Distinguished Family

Merry Christmas 🤶!!!  … For a while now, the entire family of Ayé had been sorrowful. Time and time again, shouting, weeping, depression, and wailing had been the nature of her heart. Funny enough they still chose to merry in their pains thinking drunkenness would make them forget it all. What a pity! Other families of the Ọ̀run kingdom desired that Ayé be like them, even though they couldn’t do much about it. Aye had been barren for long with no hope for a delivery. A substitute for a child had been given to her over and over again. Yet her pains and wounds never seemed to heal up. Ọlọ́run who also happened to be Ọlọ́run Àgbáyé still had Ayé in mind. He was the only one who could give good and perfect gifts. Although, HE made all things well and had planned the marriage of Ayé that she may be fruitful and multiply, yet ABANILJE the rebellious one deceived fruitful AYE and made her barren. What else could be done? Indeed, Ọlọ́run Gbọn Ju Gbogbo Ọgbọ́n Lọ . Since Ayé ag...

Genre : Now and Future  "B, are we there yet?" My friend, Faith, asked. "We are close by. Can't you hear the laughs from the building?" We walked further more and entered the building. Faith was stunned. "Wow." She uttered seeing a large number of teenagers. Smiles on each face. Conversations going on in every corner. Some holding hands and speaking life over each other. Some mouths filled with food. It's buzzing in here. "What is it with the orange lights above us?" Faith inquired. "Oh, that, it depicts their creativity. These guys are creative. It's not hype, it's the truth," I replied, winking at her. We took our seats beside each other. I looked around for any eyes that may see/think otherwise.  "Guy, won't you get me a drink?" Faith said, giving me that look that says, 'you-don't-know-how-to-treat-a-lady.' "Hey, Bolu." I looked behind to see who was calling me. It was ...

  THE VISION.  - “It all started from a DM” - “We changed the name three times” Anniversaries are always a good time to reflect and think about where we have been coming from, consider where we are and look ahead. For us at DT Pen tribe, we thought it would be a wonderful moment to be reminded of the very motives that started this wonderful group, and what better way to get this insight than from the founders of the Distinguished Teenagers group themselves?  HOW IT ALL STARTED The Distinguished Teenagers group started with two young Christians, Popoola Ajibike Josephine and Oyedele Oluwaferanmi Favour Olamide. Now, contrary to what you might be thinking that they probably grew up together or were school mates, or something like that, Jibike and Lamide met each other on another Christian WhatsApp group that was used to send daily devotionals of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Open Heavens.  Both were members on the group and according to Lamide, they both notice...

  Who could have imagined that fruits could speak? If the donkey which Balaam rode on could speak, should a fruit not speak also? No cause for alarm, I meant that in literal terms. While holding pawpaw in my hands, a message was passed across. Indeed, the Holy Spirit helps with inspirations which gives understanding. What do you do mostly after eating fruits? Probably, if there are remnants from them like their peels and seeds, you throw them away. Maybe, you admire it’s taste, shape and all. Seldom will you think about planting it back? No worries, what’s your business with the soil? Was there any time you noticed the seeds in them? Maybe they are not obvious or their edible parts must have covered them. Although not all seeds come with forms where they are buried within the edible parts, we still can learn from them. Fruits come into being because at a point in time their seeds were sometimes buried or sown consciously or unconsciously. Neglecting the seeds because they don’t see...

I sat in my room on a good afternoon and all I could hear were the barks of dogs. They weren't disturbing me because they were not even close to where I was, so, basically,  I had no business with them and all  I had to do was to ignore the barking dogs. I might have chosen not to ignore these dogs if I realized they were giving me signs of alertness or even attention. ❗Most times, all we have to do is to ignore the "shouts" of this world because we have a focus, we have a destination. In as much as our goal and focus are not in line with the shouts of this world, then we must learn to ignore and place our focus on heavenly affections. John 18:36, we are in this world but not of this world ❗Some people just come to you and all they say is not in line with what God has told you, their words just come to weigh you down, all you have to do is to stand on the promises of God which are ever sure. 2 Corinthians 7:1. ❗The words that come from these people may be a fo...
