ADURAGBEMI


 *PART THIRTY*

"Thank you Jesus for the test" Adura said as she opened the door. She checked the time, drop her bag and went inside the kitchen to prepare jollof rice for herself and Pelumi.

"Let me even call her to start coming over" she said as she picked her phone and dialed her number

"Hello, are you at home? She asked

"Yes" Adura replied

"Okay, I am coming now" she said and hanged the call

"O ga o, she didn't even allow the caller to speak" Adura said and went to check what she was cooking.

"God, please help me and let her not take every words personal" Adura prayed.

 *FEW MINUTES LATER,* 

"Ko ko ko...Madam prayer(the English form of ADURA), open the door" she shouted

"Hello, don't you know I stay in an estate" Adura said and opened the door

"Estate ko, survey ni" she said, as she stepped in and they both laughed.

"How was your test? Adura asked

" Fine, thank God and yours? She asked

"It was great" Adura said

"Okay" she replied

"I am coming" Adura said, as she went to the kitchen to get her food and water.

"This look yummy, thank you very much as if you know I was hungry" she said and they began to eat.

 *AFTER EATING*

They began to discuss..

"Sis Pelumi...on Sunday, you said I look gorgeous. Do you really mean it? Adura asked

" Yes I do" she replied

"Do you also feel the same? Adura asked

" Hmm...yes, I am okay with my dressing. I feel okay but some people are not, especially the pastor. I can't find anything wrong with my dressing"she said

"Sis Pelumi, should I be truthful, something was wrong with your dressing. As a child of God, our dressing are not to be confirmed with that of the world because we are not of the world (John 15:19). He has chosen us out of the world.

Therefore, we dress fit and not kill. If you go for evangelism, people won't even listen to what you have to say because your dressing isn't different from theirs. Bible says in (1 Corinthians 6:19) your body is the temple of God and the spirit of God, reside in you because immediately we gave our life to Christ, our life is not ours anymore (Gal 2:20). So therefore, whatever we do and wear with our body, must glorify God as Christians.

So also, our dressing must glorify God. Don't you know your dressing attracts your kinds (people that dresses like you)" Adura said, waiting to hear her response.

"Could it be the reason, why those guys are still running to me? She said

" Hmmm, could it also be the reason why God is saying, there is more. It's not enough to receive the life of Christ, you must give all to Him. Your body, dressing, etc. 

Let him be glorified through them. People are watching and what will they say about you? Adura said

"Hmmm, can you believe I never have an understanding concerning all these. I thought it's enough to serve God and still dress the way I like. Not knowing, I have to dress to glorify my father and not myself" she said

My mentor once said "Jesus is our culture. So, the way we dress, speak, etc must be the way of our culture as believers. Let's God be pleased with our dressing and not displeased......

Stay with me as we journey together

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...
