Image
"Turning Away from love out of fear means saying "NO" to life." Anonymous  Breaking up is termination of an intimate relationship. After break ups, a lot of people do not believe in love anymore, they shut the door to thier heart.

Haha! Why are you talking like this? Ki lo se yin? (What happened to you?) She asked looking at her sister with irritation. I just told you everything that caused the disagreement and you are acting and talking as if I did something bad. “Assuming the children are not sleeping, this is how you will be shouting abi? Can’t we just have a normal conversation without you flaring up?  She asked. Surprised at her countenance. I’m shouting abi? Why won’t I shout when what you are saying is not making sense! Sister mi? Have you forgotten so soon ni? You should understand better even if others don’t! She said as she shook her head in disbelief and paced the room. “Remi…don’t let’s dwell on the past! If we don’t forget the past, we can’t move forward and step into the rest that God promises. You know, the bible says… “Cut me out of the bible scriptures aunty Doyin! Spare me all those things! You really surprised me big time! I came here, knowing that you as my sister will listen...

This Thing Called Love

Image
One of the most abused, misunderstood and wrongly expressed concept in human psychology is love. Many thought they know so much about love but the outcome of their love life shows that they know next-to-nothing about it.  What do you know about love?  See, love is sweet o, but it depends on these three things: first, the type of love you're expressing; second, the kind of person you're in love with; and lastly, your own understanding of love.  Many have said or written a lot of things about love that sounds too good to be true, unbelievable, impracticable but only few could really tell us what love truly is.  Love is a different stroke for different folks, but the truth is that there's one universal truth about love which you'll understand as you read on.  You must have heard that love don't cost a thing, ask God who gave us His only begotten Son; some would even tell you that love doesn't exist, if it doesn't, they won't be alive today. Others would tel...

The drive to the airport would have been smooth if not for the traffic. Would Lagos ever be free from traffic? She thought as she shook her head in annoyance. “Thank God! The children chorused as Kay drove into the airport parking lot, she had called Remi earlier to wait for them at the parking lot, so sighting her was easy. She had grown bigger and her fair skin shone brightly in the sun. What do they call it again? Sun-kissed! She smiled as she got down and waved to her. “Remi took after their mom in stature, skin color and almost everything. She smiled as she wrapped her in a bear hug and collected her bag. It’s so nice to see you again baby sister! It’s been two years now since we saw o if not for Whats App video call. You haven’t changed a bit. Doyin exclaimed as she looked at her sister all over again, turning her face slightly.  “Stop being so dramatic about everything sis! I missed you too. But please can we get to the car now? I’m tired, hungry and sleepy. “It’...

"Slightly closing her eyes against the daylight that filled the room, she turned to the bedside table and picked her phone. 9a.m! I must have slept soundly o she thought as she placed her hands on her forehead. So much that I didn’t even notice when he stood up from the bed for his Saturday’s morning jogs. She knew she really deserved it if she didn’t want to break down because work had been so busy and demanding, not to talk of her duty as a wife and a mother, plus the stress of living in Lagos. “Thank God for Rhekia, she had been of great help to me. She yawned tiredly as she went on her knees, singing and thanking God for the gift of life. “The shouts of mummy, mommy brought her out of her meditation mood as they barged into the room and jumped on the bed. “Sleepy, sleepy! The sound of her husband’s voice filled the room as he walked up to her and hugged her. I hope you were able to catch enough rest? “Yeah, I did! She smiled tiredly as she looked at her girls; w...

SHAMEFUL TO EVEN MENTION

Let's assume there is a hidden satellite looking into your private life. And then you are called to watch your secret live on CNN will you accept the invitation?  Can you be bold enough to tell CNN to put it on air?  Ephesians  5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. The Christian race is a present continuous tense. "I get am before nor be property". You can be tongue talking Holy Spirit filled yesterday but what about today?   If Jesus didn't come yesterday when you were ready can he still meet you ready today?  Remember, in the kingdom race the first shall be the last and the last shall be the first. Jesus is coming to meet a ready bride not foolish virgins. Therefore, we must wash our garments clean always.  5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,  There are things that are happening in the lives of believers that are even shameful to mention among unbelievers let alone of c...

EPISODE 11 “This can’t be! How? Why? All these questions and more quizzed her mind as she checked out the brother again. Is he even aware of this matter? He doesn’t even recognize or know her! “She doesn’t even know how to react, filled with mixed feelings, she knew she can’t cry or jump or scream, the church and the rest of her team will think she’s crazy. The last thing she want is for attention to be on her  talk less of conducting a mini deliverance for her. But if there’s something she’s going to do, she will have to meet up with pastor mike after the church programme and talk to him about what God had said. “So this is what you are trying to do lord? This is the meaning of the dream I had about bro Adetola? His purpose was to serve as a link where I get connected to his brother? Sayo Ayokunle? “He had ministered through sax at the JCCF program back then in her 300l days in school. She had felt her spirit leap within her as he ministered, she had admired how he handle...

“You mean bro Adetola is getting married? She asked again as if she wasn’t sure of what she heard. She just met the brother not quite long, she doesn’t even know that he worships in the same church with her talk less of getting married to a sister in her church.  “Why do you sound so surprised? Abi you don’t want him to get married ni? The music director asked on the other end. “Why not? She laughed as she said her good byes and ended the call. Hmmm thank you Jesus that I haven’t started thinking any rubbish thoughts about him o, she said as she replayed what the music director had said about him getting married. “But why did I saw him in my dream? Standing by the side of the mango tree laden with ripe mangoes and calling out my name? I don’t understand. What purpose do you have for him in my life now? “Just wait and see what his purpose is in your life.  ********* “The wedding day gradually came, the church was filled up with guests, as the celebration...

Can you remember the women you were chained down with? Pastor mike asked. “They were my mom’s family members and my mom as well. My mom and her family members? Her eyes widened with shock as what she just said made meaning to her. She was bothered with the mango tree, bro Tola and the fact that she was chained that she didn’t really give the other women in the dream a thought. Ha! She said as she hit her laps with both hands as she began to connect those late marriages, barrenness, all what her mom had told her which she had bluffed off etc. together with the dream. Daddy! I understand the dream better, she said as she began to give some instances of what has been going on in the family. “Hmm… this is really serious. The mango tree, full of ripe mangoes means the good things that all of you desire- husband, children etc. but the embargo placed on it is the reasons you can’t get them. And those that tried to get married- your mom lose her husband to the cold hands of death and...
