RELEVANCE..

Image
  My eyes went up to these precious containers of mine this morning as I prepare breakfast. These containers have been my foodstuffs container for close to two decades! Yeah, about 20 whole years. If you are very close to me  you will know them.  To think that I didnt buy them is also an important thing to note. I got them from a Big Uncle that deals in animal drugs. They are empty vaccine containers. I took interest in them because of the shape and I was able to get these three. I set out of my parents house as an undergraduate with these beautiful containers. After graduation, I returned home with them. By the time i was leaving home to stand on my own, we left together. These my beauties entered marriage with me. They keep my foodstuffs really well till now. As I consider all these right there in the kitchen, RELEVANCE dropped in my mind!. I can't begin to count how many humans I have come across in the past two decades, but how many of them are still relevant to me in this life

BOUNDARIES...

Image
A boundary is a border and it can be physical such as a fence between two properties or abstract such as a moral behaviour. Boundaries indicate or fixes a limit or extent acceptable in a relationship with friends, colleagues, neighbours, even spouses.  I have personally observed that boundaries are often taken for granted in our society today. Marriage relationship is ideally the closest relationship in which two is perceived to have become one, yet boundaries are important. Being someone's close friend doesn't give the permission to bump into the person's pot of soup/fridge anyhow, you might not know the exact state of things with him/her at that particular time. You visited a friend that resides in a room and parlour apartment and just went straight into the room! I have heard of spouses who took their partners phone and make cash transfer sharperly*... Irrespective of how close you are to a person, Learn to ask for permission. Dear, can I please use your phone? Let her t

Israel says it supports Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty in its first official statement as they offer humanitarian assistance

 Israel has issued its first official statement on the crisis between Kyiv and Moscow, saying they support Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.  Israel also announced they are prepared to transfer immediate humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, the Foreign Ministry statement added, and it is engaged in dialogue with its partners on ways to restore the diplomatic path. The statement, however, did not address Russia by name, reflecting the complicated position Israel has found itself in over the crisis unfolding 3,000 kilometers away. An Israeli diplomatic official who asked to remain anonymous said, "We did the minimum required so now we can go back to sitting on the sidelines."   While the Ukrainians declined to comment on the Israeli statement officially, a diplomatic source, who asked to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, indicated that it did not go far enough to suit his government. “This is better than nothing but

YOUR RIGHTFUL POSITION IN CHRIST 2

Purpose  and  decide in your  heart  not  to  go back  to your  vomit, ask for  the  help  of  the  holy spirit and see yourself winning. And for many of us, believers who  are  now  in Christ  Jesus, now citizens  of  the  kingdom,  is not   aware  of  our  right  in  Christ Jesus [ like  the Israelites of  whom  Christ  came to save,  believed  not in Him]  or   are   aware  but failed  to  take  our RIGHTFUL POSITION   in  Him. The   devil  had  cheated  us  so  much  by  creating   what  is  not  in our  heart  through  FEAR.  Fear,  as   defined  by one of   my   pastors, is FALSE  EVIDENCE APPEARING  REAL. Fear  is  the  opposite  of  faith. Satan  makes  us  believe  he  is powerful and  can  stop us. He  created  the  fear of  witchcraft  and  ancestral curses  in  our heart, that we  failed  to  hold  on to the  Almightiness  of our Lord  Jesus  Christ. I am not saying they  are not real  or  do not exist  but what I  am saying is  we have  so  much  attributed  po

YOUR RIGHTFUL POSITION IN CHRIST 1

Some days ago, one of my colleagues who happens to be my prayer partner and motivator sent me a bible passage [ Matt 15 : 21-28] to read, study and meditate upon and that we should rub mind on it later. I did and by the grace of God, the  Holy Spirit ministered some things to  me  from  the scriptures  which  I  will like  to  share  with us. Jesus  Christ  came  for the  lost  sheep  of  the house  of  Israel. The woman,  being  a  gentile came  to  Jesus  to  seek miracle  for  her  dying child  but  Jesus responded  to  her  not, the  disciples  asked  to send  her  away  but she persisted  and  when Jesus  would  respond  to her, He  said, the children's  food  is  not meant to  be  given to dogs. I love  the woman, she  was  wise enough  to  respond  to Jesus, that,  even  dogs  do eat from  the  crumbs  that falls  from  their master's table,  she fell and worshipped  Jesus. He told  her, she was of great  faith and instantly, the  child was made whole. Do  you  know  tha

Honour ...a lifestyle Part 3

 My last series on my write up 'Honor, a lifestyle' Thank you all for reading through and it's not about reading, it's a call to be different, it's about being intentional about living a honorable lifestyle. 👇👇👇👇👇 Honor( a lifestyle) I  will  like  to  talk  lastly  on   this   topic  in  this  dimension. Another   definition  of honor  I  got  is  that  honor  means  excellence  of  character,  high  moral  worth  and virtue. Are  you  a  man  and woman  of  honor?  are you  excellent  in  your character?  do  you  have a  great  virtue? Permit  me   to  quickly share  this  experience  of  mine  with  you. When  I  was  seeking  admission  then,  one  of my  pastor  gave  me  a  letter  to  a  relative  of  his  who  happened  to  be  a  senior  staff   of  the institution  I  was  seeking  admission  into. On  getting  to  the  office,  it  was  unfortunate,   the  man had  retired  unknowingly to  this  pastor  of  mine,  but  I  met  a  man,  he  asked  me

When you give honor to people,you can easily influence them I am a teacher,by the grace of God I have taught both at the secondary  and primary section. There was a school I once taught, the students rarely listen when other teachers wants to address them except to some of us. I always respect their view,and when I'm addressing them,I am fond of using,dear,dearie,darling for them,you see them blushing, happy and feeling important.    I was able to preach Christ to them,and also share experiences of life with them. When I left the school, most of them found me here on Facebook and shared things  they were going through with me. I once listened to a message by Apostle Joshua Selma,titled,The gift of men, he said he honors everybody that comes his way,he said something that got my attention, he said some of this young ones you are seeing today,you don't know where they will be tomorrow. I then remembered one of my big sis that so much love me and took me like her own sister, one d

 Honor( a lifestyle) If  everyone  dares  to  make  honor  a   life  style,  conflicts  in   homes  and  marriages would  have  been  reduced  to  barest minimum.   I  once  read  here  on  Facebook   where   someone   wrote  " You  don't  tell  everything  to your  spouse",   what  a  wrong  ideology.  Telling  your  spouse  every  of your  move  and  decision  does not  make  you  a weakling,  it  only  shows  how  much  you  value    him/her.  Even  if  such  is  being heard  of  among  the  unbelievers,  it  should not  be  heard  at  all among  believers.  In  the  book  of   Eph 5 : 22-32,   the  bible  talked  about  wives  submitting  to  their  husbands  and  husbands  loving  the wives  as  Christ  loved  the  church ( God  so  much  loves   and   values  us  that  he  wants  to  tell  us  everything,  his  acts  and his  ways,  if  only  we  can  give  ourselves  totally  unto  him).  You  can  not  say  you love  without  honoring  your  wife  and  you  can  n

Journey of life

 When the children of Israel were on the journey to Canaan, the promised land, they were to pass through some cities and they were to take over some cities. There were some cities the Lord told them not to strife with because He is not going to give the land to them, He had given them to the descendants of Esau and that of Lot  ( Deuteronomy 1: 4-9). And those cities the Lord promised them, He told them to strife with them and that He, the Lord is with them. They did, and they conquered, exploited the cities and occupied there in. There are many cities( roads, people, opportunities, events and so on ) we are going to pass through on our journey to the promised land, the expected end, but we must be able to discern which one we are to strife for and which not to strife for. So many are fighting the battle which is not meant for them to fight, the battles they are supposed to leave aside and continue with their journey. When I read this portion of the scripture, I prayed a prayer, I said
