OBEDIENCE


Some days ago, I wasn't planning of drinking pap with milk but because I saw my sisters drinking their pap with milk. I decided I am also going to drink my pap with milk. While I was about to send my sister to get me milk, I sensed within me that I wasn't supposed to buy milk but I didn't listen.

I sent my sister to buy milk but she came back saying, the mallam has closed his shop and every other shops that sells me, are not opened. I was not satisfied yet, I directed her to another place. Getting there, she couldn't still find milk and the woman in the shop, also directed her to another place but couldn't get milk.  

I was upset and I drank my pap like that. Then my sister said "It's like God did not want you to get milk". I felt somehow with those words because I knew I wasn't even supposed to buy milk at first.

Sometimes, obedience to God will come with losing the precious things we want, need and desire. It can come with giving up something you love doing, eating and drinking most but we just have to adhere to His instruction. It might not be easy, it might sound displeasing and annoying but we have to do it.

Remember Father Abraham, when God instructed him to sacrifice his only son(Gen 22:1-13). God wanted to know if Abraham would obey him, He told him to sacrifice Isaac on a mountain. Abraham loved his son very much, he did not want to sacrifice Isaac but he wanted to obey God. He was ready to sacrifice him but an angel spoke to him, he told him not sacrifice Isaac. Abraham obeyed God and God loved him. God was happy and He blessed his family.

Obedience....trust and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey. That's what the song says.

Just as I have learnt my lesson. Dear beloved, let us learn to obey and trust God!

God bless us.

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
