CHAPTER 25

-

 



Sometimes, the days move like they are in a competition with a cheetah. Other times, they tend to slow down while we savour every moment we are able to create with our loved ones. Times when they seem fast, we are able to look back at how much we've done, how hard we've loved, how committed we have been to things and people and how much of so many things we've been able to gather.

I delight in talking about my life from the age I met Christ. As important as everything that happened before then is, they do not measure up to the standard of how my life currently is. At 22, I had my life interrupted by God. Let's say I was used to thinking I have everything covered. So, before graduation in Uni, I already had an idea what my life was going to be like after Uni - God must have laughed hysterically at me those days. Each year has been better than the previous one. I have walked in precision and prophecies have been fulfilled in my life. I have grown exponentially. My life has been a wonder and a lot of times, I look back and I'm wowed at how much God has done with me. I encountered God and my life changed, he has walked and is walking through every path with me while holding my hands.
For whatever my life was before I encountered him, I have drastically improved positively. The fellowship with the Spirit has turned my life around, I am hooked - never to turn back. 2 years plus of experiencing life and I have a lot of stories to tell. I said 2 years plus because I have decided to intentionally lose my numerical accuracy, counting my age from when I found Christ.

I have come across many people who tend to get excited about their 25th birthday, I actually have no idea why I never got the same excitement. I'm not saying I'm not excited, maybe I just don't care. I only began to get the feel about the whole being 25 thing December 2020; this was when I realized how old I am getting. I mean, didn't I just clock 16 yesterday? Whew!



Chapter 25 will be beautiful and exciting, I see it, I know it. More than anything, it's a year I'd never forget because of how significant it will be. And maybe this year will be my "when" - this man needs to stop playing ping pong with me. But most importantly, I desire that my heart be continuously fixed on Jesus and never to lose the wonder of the lavish love of God. If I've never told you this, here it is; God genuinely loves me and his love is my reality.


Yaayyyyy! It's my 25th birthday 💃🏾💃🏾

CHRISTIAN, SINGLE AND HORNY

-
Image
One of the many things they never tell us as Christian singles is our sexual desire, being "horny". Most people do not want to talk about it, perhaps, it's meant to be discussed by the married folks. Some have termed this wrong, profane and unholy but don't we need to start talking about this more than ever? Being horny simply means being sexually hungry. What do you do when you're hungry? Eat, yeah? But as a Christian single, you can't eat this meal because it is meant for the married folks. God is the chef of this meal, to be consummated in marriage. In a generation were you have porn all over the internet, it takes the grace of God not to lose your Holy Ghost common sense. Many people think Christian singles do not feel the urge to have sex, many think since the Holy Ghost lives in you, you shouldn't be horny - Leemao Your hormones do not change when you give your life to Christ, they do not even care if you're in Christ or not - ve...

DOES GOD HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR?

-

The justification of some Christians that God doesn't have a sense of humour strikes me like a thunder. How do you say a God who created man in his image according to his likeness has no humour? If man does have a sense of humour, so does God. Man's sense of humour may have been somewhat corrupted/perverted due to sin but it doesn't change the fact of the discussion matter. For example, God has intellect just like we do, he is creative just like we are, he feels sad just like we do etc but the sinful nature can make us misrepresent the true nature of God. If God has no sense of humour, I think we should question where man got his. Our sense of humour may not exactly be the same because there are some despicable things human find funny that God will not find funny. A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul. But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression. Proverbs 17:22 TPT The latter part explains what happens when your heart ...

THE NEW ERA

It's been almost a month I last blogged. This is because a lot has been happening in Nigeria. It's been a defining month for Nigerians and a period bringing forth unusual events. On 1st October, 2020, Nigeria clocked 60 years as an independent nation. Despite it being 60 years of being free from the power and oppression of colonialism, the country is yet to show the world what it takes to be an independent nation. Currently, it's been a month of battle for the citizens of Nigeria; trying to break from the shackles of corruption that has eaten deep into the system. For 12 days, the Nigerian youths came out in massive numbers to protest against the SARS (Special-Anti-Robbery Squad) unit of the Nigerian Police Force and also against Police brutality in Nigeria. In between these 12 days of protest, the same Police they are protesting against has killed some protesters, the government has sponsored thugs to attack protesters in order to keep them silent - having some protesters ...
