"Anuoluwapo...am so tired of this stage. I want to move, everything looks clumsy and it's affecting my relationship with people. I am worried" Ayoola said "Hmmm....so it's not only me. Sometimes, I even wonder why I am alive because everything seems dead to me. I don't even know what to believe in. Sometimes, I feel I can't continue in this Christian race and I don't understand why my progress is slow or, is it a kind of punishment? Because I don't understand. I have been pushing and I don't think I can wait anymore" Anuoluwapo said "The most annoying part is my place of work. I have been there for some months now and I haven't gotten promotion while people who met me there, have been given promotion. That's frustrating now, tell me how do I keep up following Him? I don't understand o" Ayoola said "Enough of your complains. Do you think God brought you on earth to suffer or leave you confused. You both don't...

A dear sisters asked me about my opinion on wearing trousers... Hmmmmmm, this is a discussion I really don't want to get fully involve in because people have different ideologies, mentality, etc about it and trust me, it's draining down some people. Okay, I told her it's all about your conviction. What do you think about wearing trousers? What's your motive towards wearing trousers? To kill or to look smart, modest, etc? While growing up I remembered I made a promise to one of my sisters (friends) telling her I won't wear trousers and earrings in my life. Smiles, look at me now. In fact, I grew up looking at those who were wearing earrings and trousers as sinners because of the church I grew up in. So, it was all that, that made me think wearing trousers was bad but as times goes on, I realized it shouldn't be like that. So, like I said to the dear sister. What is your conviction about wearing trousers? If you think it's bad,  don't you think wearing the...

"Tope, I am not who I used to be anymore. This is not me buuuttt I can't figure out what's going on" Busayo said as she looks worried "Busy (short form of Busayo) I also noticed and I have been trying to figure out what is going on with you, so tell me? Tope said as she drops her pen and concentrated on her "Toppy (another form of Tope), I think i am in a short of trap This isn't what I signed in for. I think I am about to be choked. I don't even have breathing space. I don't know who I am anymore. I am loosing myself. I am......Tope cut in... "Aunty, what is all this? Be clear with your points. I know you are all that but what exactly is wrong? Tope "I...don't know. All I know is I am not emotionally okay and I feel I can't go on anymore. All the things I planned for are not coming through. Plus, it seems God has forgotten me because everything is not how it ought to be. I think I am left alone now" Busayo said  "Busa...

Hmmmmmm.. People who loan can do anything to get that money they want to loan and because of anxiety, some of them finds it difficult to read the terms and conditions just because they needed that money Another part of them is when they ought to pay back the money. Some find excuses not to pay up that money, some put on irrational attitudes that wasn't there when they wanted to loan the money. After the money has served their purposes, to refund the money becomes the problem for some people. It's' a pity because some of them don't even remember without getting that money at that particular day or time, something's might apart. Some even go to the extent of crying for loan only to fumble when it's time for repayment. A loaner doesn't just loan money without needing it. There must be a need before taking that decision to apply for a loan The same way some believers are to God. They only know God when their needs arises but what happens when there is no needs? ...

My dear sisters, Lot's of things are happening now especially among the Christian. Let's be guided. Know who you are, the God you serve and who you are following. Mostly especially, watch who you follow. You can't afford to follow anyone anyhow, not to talk of listening to anyone anyhow. Discern, sieve and go back to the scripture with every words you have heard. That's why, it's advisable to know God personally and don't depend on your pastor, mentors, etc knowledge about God. What do you know about God? Do you truly know Him? Have you experienced Him personally? Bible says, those that know their God ( *Daniel 11:32b* ) Trust me, a lot of untrue doctrine are out now and only those that know their God and His word can scale through without being deceived. It's not enough to know the Man of God and don't know God. It's not enough to depend only on what Men of God are saying without knowing what God is saying. Beware! *Jeremiah 23:16* AMP:Thus says the...

I can't forget that very day it happened because I actually learnt something from the situation. We were more than 10 in class that day, as we were expecting our lecturer. Everyone was busy revising his/her notes when I heard a voice from my back reciting Muslims rhymes. I turned back to see who was that and to know, if I was the only one who noticed it. It happened that it was Shuiab and I was surprised to see how engrossed he was with the rhymes that he had forgotten that he was in the class and didn't notice people were looking at him. He has totally forgotten himself as his voice went higher and higher. At a point, I felt he was disturbing the class but I realized I was the only one having that thought. At the same time, I was surprised because he was unashamed of his religion. In the midst of thought, a question pop into my mind....How much more Christian? How many Christians do we have that are unashamed of their religion. Any time, any day? Shuiab didn't even care if...

"I m tired of everyone putting the fault and pointing at the victims. What do you think about them ? Several complains have been said to address the issues but nothing seems work because many of the voices have been killed but what do you think? My name is Angel and as sweet as my name is, there is nothing angelic about my being. Every time, according to his time, I get oppressed by the so called person that claims to be my school teacher. The journey started at the primary stage of the development of the great assets (breasts and glute region) that classify me as a lady but it turns out that the great assets lead to great abuse. Every touch of his hands felt on my body led to severe pain for me as my assets were also increasing. Grandma kept wondered why my breasts were developing so fast but I was scared of speaking due to the pressure of threat that led to emotional discomfort and abuse from a person that happens to be my teacher a well respected one for that matter. Who ...

"Don't despite the little beginning Start small Start somewhere" these are the words we often hear when we have a goal or vision to achieve but, if the only reason, you are doing what you are doing, is because you were told not to despite the little beginning and you are not growing or adding. You are just the same with the same route. Then, I think you might still be in the little beginning forever. Yes, don't despite the little beginning but what are your plans for bigger/greater things or let me say, what do you see for the bigger plan? Or is it that, what you only see is the little beginning plans without higher aims. You can't settle for less and just because you are being told not to despite the small beginning doesn't stop your from aiming higher. Lay the foundation but don't keep it or stop at the foundation level. Continue building till the vision becomes reality. Keep moving and also, see and plan big. I pray God help us...Amen  *Alokan Temilade ...

Don't be too quick to give up. He is waiting for you to lean on Him and call Him. Last week, I was planning to meet up a target and i remembered the team leader telling me to do something about it became it was my first time and I wasn't meeting the target on time not until the closing time I was gradually getting some points.  I wasn't trying to meet my target because, I want to form or show off. I just wanted to do my best and make my people proud. The first day, I was about to meet the target with a point. The next day, I was still unable to meet up the target with 2 points and it continued like that till I was finally able to meet up the target one day.  The other people in my team were surprised as my name was called because they were not expecting it and for the fact that they have been there before me. Then it happened again, I was able to meet the target but what am I trying to communicate from this? All through those time, I never gave up on trusting God and leanin...

2006/2008 i cant remember the year but i used to think well never dry up until the well at our house was gradually drying up and my dad had to call some mallam who used their tools to dig deeper. Where i was watching, I was wondering how will water even spring up from the ground because it's even looking loamy. Lo and behold, after digging deep, water began to spring out.  I was shocked because I wasn't expecting it. Even though the water looks very  dirty at first but the fact still remained that water eventually came out and they set rings around it to the length my dad wanted.  We couldn't drink the water for days because it wasn't clean but after a week with the help of several purification processes, the water was usable and every since then, we haven't had issue with the well and we are enjoying it. Then I thought if we can enjoy from the physical well for so long. How much more the spiritual well (God)? If we can trust the physical well so much that we depend...

My dear sisters, I want you to know wherever you find yourself or that you are. The goal is to transform lives as you are being transformed. Don't wait till you have everything Don't wait till you have those butterfly feelings Don't wait...in your little space, in your corner. Keep transforming lives. As we behold the glory of God, is the same way we must shine the glory of God to the whole world.  Let's lives be transformed as you are transformed Let lives be impacted as you are impacted. That we stay with our father (God) for transformation  and not for popularity. Generations placed on your shoulder, are waiting for your manifestation but how much of yourself are you laying down for transformation. Just as we behold the mirror to see the transformation of ourselves after being dressed. So, also is God waiting for you in His presence to gradually take you on the process of transformation. Don't jeopardize it by staying in past glory. Stay and tarry as He will cont...

"Ahhhh...all that bastard was looking for, is just a little space and I am deeply stupid for giving him" Semilogo said as she was crying "Ahn Ahn...Semilogo, why are you saying this to yourself? Mummy Hallelujah asked her as she came to her for counselling "Mummy... Ah, I am a fool. He actually ruined my life after entering but it's a pity I opened the door for him. Now, I don't know what to do? Semilogo said in tears "Calm down...Semilogo and tell me how it happened" Mummy Hallelujah said "Mummy, my life has been in confusion ever since he entered. I am not myself and I know it. I can't even focus again and my mind keeps going back to how it started. I wish it never happened" Semilogo said "Okay...but you haven't explained what happened? Mummy Hallelujah said "Hmmm....It all started when I attended a sister meeting. She invited me and I honoured the meeting with my presence because she is one of the sisters I cherish. W...

I know this is usual but it's sometimes needed. There is a realm deeper than spotlight that the lord wants us to be. There is a realm deeper than influence that the lord wants us to be. It's a place where God wants to take us deeper beyond things of the surface. It's a place, where we will always desire to know more of God It's a place, where we will always want to know God It's a place, where we realize there is more of God than the understanding we have. It's a place of seeking and knowing It's a place where we rub minds and share the burdens of God It's a place where we gradually shed ourselves to receive and be who God wants us to be... (Training). It's a place where we get informed and not deformed. It is a place where our heart only desire Him above everything because we have surrendered everything to Him It's a place where we will never graduate from because the more you know Him, the more you want to know Him Hmmm...the questions are, Are...

I think it's high time you give the battle to Him, who has the capacity to win all battles. It's some times painful how as believers hold unto our burdens, pains, challenge and struggles as if we can do it ourselves. The pain, challenges, etc might be too much and you tend to forget that you aren't alone. God wants to help you fight your battle. He is ready to help you but you find it hard to give it to him just because it hurts so much and you think you are to fight it alone like it doesn't concern Him. Check yourself, if God is only God when things are going well with you. What becomes of Him, when things aren't going well? "There were times in my life when I felt I could do it all alone. I was blindfolded and i thought I don't need anyone else as I said to myself "I will fight it alone" Those moments were hard moments of my life. I was in pain and I surely needed help but I was too proud to say it. I  couldn't pray or study. All I wanted wa...

"Oh...Please Odunayo, check yourself. Why do you like judging with confirmation? Sharon said as she slammed the door "Look, Sharon you can't tell me how to live my life. I said I am not interested. Is there any problem with that or have you being bribed? Odunayo asked "Odun, I sincerely don't know what has gotten over you but I want you to know you are the one doing yourself and that's why people like you are still single or don't stay long in a relationship" Sharon said hardly as Odunayo was shocked "Yes, I have to tell you the truth because I want the best for you. You always complain that no one is interested in you because of those butterfly feelings you have that has made you proud. You judge every "Hi and Hello" from a guy and assume he wants a relationship with you even without hearing him out.  You feel you are too fine and that's why every message you receive from a guy is a relationship matters. You do this everyday and i...

We are in a world now that encourages people to fake things just to show how much they have grown or how upgraded they are. "I remembered a dear sister in the early stage of her writings. Though her writings has always being out of inspiration but along the line at some point, she got carried away for a while, just because she wanted to impress her audience. She began to browse on other people writings and join her own little knowledge to it. It was blessing people but she wasn't happy with myself.  She knew she could be more than that but she was too lazy and greedy to wait for leadings. She just wanted to write and drop something everyday. She kept on doing it until one of her friends read one of the write ups and she said..."She has read this write ups somewhere and it really blessed her".  It was then it occurred to her that she needed to stop. If not, she would ruin the whole vision myself. She was determined to stop leaving a fake life and she gave herself to t...

One day, I went for a movie shooting and it happened to be my first. I was happy when I was given a role to play because I always love to express and impact lives through acting. Getting to the location, I realized the role has been given to other people. I was disappointed because the distance was long and it seems like I have wasted money, time and energy. I wished the producer have informed us earlier about the change but I didn't go back. Then I went to meet the director and I explained everything to him after meeting the production manager who kept saying that we shouldn't worry, our role is in another scene but checking the script, there was nothing like that. Thank God, the director understood everything I said. So, he said he would find a place for me in a scene.  Others hissed, complained, said several things and I remembered there was a lady who said, she has been going to several location and they always end up disappointing her. When the people were talking, I was j...

At some point in my life I used to think, those who deserved my thanks are only those that are in favour to me but thank God for growth. I was in an organization one day and as I was to leave the place and the security man opened the door. I wasn't expecting it, I thought I would open the door myself and I said thank you. Then some ladies, looked at me like did she just say thank you. At that point, I smiled because I remember I went to a place where I struggled to open such door that almost got me embarrassed but seeing someone who helped me out was a life saver. So, I smiled because they don't understand. Just because it's their duty doesn't mean they shouldn't be appreciated. Everyone deserves to be appreciated. Don't ever think you can do all things yourself. Someone strength can help in your weakness likewise, your strength can help someone in their weak state. So don't look down on people. Even that bike man, deserves your thanks because without the bi...
