He speaks!

Image
It was that simple. Just trust and obey. Would you be glad your friend despised your instructions and later faced the consequences? After all, you did tell him or her. As little as it might be, every instruction matters and makes up little details to help at bigger decisions. Painfully we just sometimes or mostly despise His still small voice. It was painful when I still couldn't pay attention to how He spoke to me on that Sunday morning when I wanted to pick a pair of trousers for service. They were all Ironed sha. While I took another pair of trousers not paying attention to details, I was still happy I was rocking these new black trousers not until I entered the school gate and took a cab. "Pauuuuuuu" abi it was "praaaaa". Just imagine the painful sound of clothes tearing. I came down from the vehicle and returned to my room wearing the exact trouser I saw earlier on. That Sunday, I was late to church, and trust me, it wasn't nice. The Holy Sp...

You Can Still Do It

Image
July, the seventh month of the year wraps up in just a matter of five days. The ride has been a really long one, full of highs and lows, and many silent discoveries in-between. The advent of a new year is usually a noticeable pump in the adrenaline levels of almost everyone.  And as a teenager that you are, it is possible that you entered the New Year with ear-marked goals for yourself, things you looked forward to see yourself doing, things you looked forward to seeing yourself becoming. But, let me ask – how are you doing with these goals? How many of them have you ticked? Few? None? Relax. I’m not here to beat you, neither should you beat yourself. I honestly get this thing, right? I get that this is life, and we sometimes do not get what we anticipated – at least not very easily.  Life happens to our goals. I mean, you set goals for yourself and in the course of the months, get caught up in activities and things you did not see coming. No matter how great these activ...

Witnesses

Image
I am very sure that it is not only in my Local church nor my Fellowship that the wind of evangelism is blowing mightily, covering our stare of mind with the urgency to reach out to men.  A witness, someone who can attest to the occurrence of an event, who can show proof, evidence to support his claim of seeing the event occur. You know what brethren? Glory to God we have every proof that Christ died for us! I get it, we were not at the cross over two thousand years ago, but we were there*lol*, Sounds funny shebi. We were there in His heart, if more than anything, He thought of us. So how does it make sense now that we have the proof since we were “abstractly" in His mind and not there bodily? 2nd Corinthians 5:16-20a(NIV)   So from now on, we regard no one from a worldly(I) point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,(J) the new creation(K) has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! (L) 18...

What is Prayer?

Image
                                                      "Prayer is an invocation or act that seeks to activate a rapport with an object of worship through deliberate communication. In the narrow sense, the term refers to an act of supplication or intercession directed towards a deity (a god), or a deified ancestor."          The subject prayer is a broad one at that and a very crucial part of your walk with God in fellowshipping with him. One of the major area of developing a good and viable relationship with God is by praying. It is through our prayers that we speak to God and develop the ability to hear from him when he speaks. Prayer is a very important part of our lives as believers. God created us to be totally dependent on him Acts 17:28 (KJV) "For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of y...

Caged eagle

Image
It is commonly noted that whenever an Eagle is mentioned, or whoever an Eagle is compared to, strength, great emblem, power, ability to stand out irrespective of whatever hurdle, good vision will be denoted from such. An Eagle will not be able to do all of this if it is caged, kept, or hindered. In fact, if some other animals were to be kept with this Eagle in a cage, the Eagle will be thoroughly dealt with because its ability to fly above such situations is gone. (The ability to fly distinguishes all birds even in the face of danger). πŸ“For instance, Zoos cage Eagles for sightseeing (even though sightseeing will be of great benefit to some people, it is never a serious benefit to it because it was caged). In a normal sense, this Eagle will never choose to be caged but who knows how it loosed its guard which made it caged, probably, it was trapped, or it was even food that was used to get it trapped or the negligence of this Eagle.  πŸ“ People lose their essence, their w...

Dear Distinguished -- Instructions Will Come

Image
Dear Distinguished,          I see you are good. I perceive all is well. I am privy to your glow. Ah ahn! No stain geng! See how you are thriving. After 10 weeks of zero communication between us, you are bubbling. Excited to hear from me eh? The feeling is mutual.  This week, I want to assure you, instructions will come.  Where you have been confused, answers will be given.  Tasks you have been stalling at for lack of experience, the ability will come.  Places you have been tongue-tied, you know how to break the ice.  Light will shine on the burdens you have been carrying.  Habits you desperately want to drop, you get steps on what to do.  And as for your many prayer points, they will become testimonies.  Selah,  The Distinguished.
