"Semilogo!!! Opemipo screamed and tapped her but semilogo who was over worried and thinking, raised up her swollen red eyes without saying anything.
"Semilogo, I have been observing you now for the past 2 weeks. What exactly is bothering you? Opemipo asked as she pulled out a chair and sat on it. Semilogo who was still feeling reluctant, couldn't talk as she was crying.
"Common on, talk to me. Let's talk about it. You know you don't have to bear it alone. I care about you Ogo and I seriously want to be of help in my own ways but you need to say something" Opemipo said as she held her hands but, the tears kept rolling down her eyes. It feels like she was scattered and totally broken.
After some minutes of silence, with no words coming from her mouth. Opemipo said "I guess, I just have to leave now. See you later but just know, Opemipo cares about you and God heal whatever hurts you"
Opemipo stood up and was about to leave when Semilogo voiced out " I can't really figure out how, when and why.... I can't really express or say how I feel but deeply within me, I know I have lost something's.
I am angry at myself and I get jealous of others because I used to be like them. I used to be on hunger to know more of God. I used to thirst for more of Him but it seems like everything is going away gradually. I don't just do the things that keeps me on track.
Sometimes, I don't feel the need to pray, study or worship. It feels so dry to me and now, I get jealous of those with hunger, passion and zeal of the father. I get angry at myself at the slight hearing of any audio sermon from minister of God played by another person. I get depressed at the voice of people waking up to pray at midnight, like I used to do and I force myself to pray too but it's not working...
I feel heavily bothered, listening to the songs that used to bless and ignite me. I am angry at myself but still, it doesn't push me to make a move. This is not who I used to be. What led me into this, I can't figure out. I don't even understand how I feel but, I know everything isn't fine. This isn't me, I need to be lighted up. I was thinking everything will fall back in place but now, I realized its beyond me. What can I do? I am loosing myself" Semilogo said as she was weeping.
My dear sisters,
To anyone in this phase, this is a call to be charged up and it is our responsible to make the move and God interferes.
Just like a lighted lamp that has no fuel. When it's time, the light gradually shakes and it goes off. After being filled with kerosene and lightened, it will stay and shine on. It shows the lamp needed the kerosene to stay on and last longer.
So also, is our life as believers. A day shouldn't go, without communication with our father with the word, prayer and spirit filled songs/sermon. These are essential as it helps us to stay on and lightened in our journey with Christ.
Be intentionally and be sincere in your relationship with God. Don't live a religious practise and don't fake it. Also, don't forget to draw strength from God.
Don't rely and depend on your own strength. It can fail you because there are sometimes, the spirit is willing but the body is weak.
Don't feel too quick to condemn yourself. Run back to Him and He is ready to help and save us. Remember, he is the saviour of mankind. Take heed to every instructions He gave you and take them to action.
*Matt 11:28*
Run to Him and he shall give you rest from the pits of anger, jealous and pains. There is more to us!
God bless us and I love you!
