My Fears!!

                          

While growing up I used to be so scared of mice that I could not stand seeing a rat running in front of me. Peradventure it happens, just forget me! I will run away from that environment and you will have to beg me to come back. But now, when I see it, I will look for anything to kill it! I think I overcame the phobia from mice now and I must tell you that I’m glad about it. Supposing I’m still scared about mice then what will I tell my children today? That mummy is scared of rat and can’t defend them? No way!

I noticed that if you have a phobia, you probably realize that your fear is unreasonable, yet you still can’t control your feelings. Just thinking about the feared object or situation may make you anxious. And when you’re actually exposed to the thing you fear, the terror is automatic and overwhelming.

Having a phobia doesn’t mean you’re crazy! It also helps to know that phobias are highly treatable. You can overcome your anxiety and fear, no matter how out of control it feels.

Through repeated experiences facing your fear, you’ll begin to realize that the worst isn’t going to happen; you’re not going to die or “lose it”. With each exposure, you’ll feel more confident and in control. The phobia begins to lose its power.

Magical Words!!

           
                 

Just after my degree programme while doing my NYSC service to my nation in Abuja, I had a terrible acne outbreak! It was so bad that the looks I was getting from the public completely killed my self-confidence and I was always hiding my face with a veil!

The outbreak began after my good friend Bola and I went for a facial treatment!! I know some ladies go for facials and after all the application and cleaning of your face, you feel good about yourself!! But our own story was entirely different! How? What happened to us? Sincerely I don’t know what happened but all I can remember was that they did so many scrubbing and applying of chemicals on our faces and we were told to come back every fortnight to do our facials. How can we afford paying when we were just youth corpers serving with our little allowances? (Please don’t ask me who sent us in the first place??) The answer is youthful exuberance!! Yes that is it!

You know how it is when you don’t have money to continue in a project you started!! We never went back to continue in the facial after the first try. You wouldn’t believe what happened to us after one week, our faces were spotted with pimples all over! Yours truly, fine girl no pimples became something else! The rest is left for your own imagination.

Do you know that while treating the acne I was completely broke! Because I was buying everything I was advised to apply and it was not getting better. Every one week I change what I use for my face! It got to a point that one day we both entered a cab and the driver said these fine girls…..dem don jazz una ( you’ve been charmed!). We looked at him at the same time and laughed sarcastically. When he saw that we were just not interested in his opinion he said we should be using fuel and engine oil on our faces. Can you imagine! How can we apply his instructions when we don’t want our faces to get burnt? Never!!

Abusing the Girl Child!!

Amina is 9years and betrothed to Alhaji Musa who happened to be her father’s longtime friend. The arrangement was that when she is 10years she will be moving to her husband’s house!! I was shocked to find out that this little girl does not even know the plans of her parent and anytime Alhaji Musa comes to their house to visit her family, she always insult him if he calls her his wife! Imagine her wearing only pant and molding a house with sand on the ground and laughing with her friends about what they are creating. Don’t forget that when she is through with playing and she is dirty, her mother goes to bath her!

I was curious about her and I actually wanted to know her state of mind! One day, I strolled to where she normally plays with her friends and I tried talking with her to know her state of mind and I realized that she could not even express herself because to her I was disturbing her from playing with her friends. How can I blame her reactions towards me when I know that I was talking to a child! But one striking answer she gave me when I asked her if she wanted to marry was a big NO! She wants to be a Doctor when she grows up!! A sweet little girl with a great dream but the selfish desires of her parent will never make it happen. I want to believe that many marriages are related to poverty, with parents needing the bride price of a daughter to feed, clothe, educate, and house the rest of the family. Amina told me to leave her alone because she wants to go and cook with sand! Lol!

Humble before God and Man - Pastor Adeboye

                                
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Sunday urged lecturers to use their positions and talents to make meaningful impact on the society by impacting on peoples’ lives positively.

The head of the world’s largest pentecostal Church, spoke at a special prayer session organised for lecturers at the RCCG National Headquarters in Ebute Meta, Lagos.
He said education is the only way to mould good citizens and as such, lecturers should endeavour to teach correctly and rightly to change the lives of students, while positively transforming the educational system and the society at large.

The influential cleric urged the people to obey God’s commandments so as to attract His blessings, adding: “Excellence does not come in a cheap way.
“If you want to excel in life, you must be ready to work hard. Excellence requires that you get to the top and remain there.
“We, the academicians, must be very humble before man and God. We should forget our degrees.”

Prof. Jide Osuntokun, a former lecturer at the University of Lagos, while speaking, thanked Adeboye for organising the prayer session, which he described as a wake up call for all academicians.

His words: “It is a wonderful opportunity for all academicians all over Nigeria to come together to thank God and renew our calling in our chosen profession.
“We hope to go back and impact positively on our students and mould future leaders of our country who will be intellectually and academically sound.”

When will I get Married?

                          

Last night Mike told Adaora that he was tired of her and never wants to see her again because she was not attractive to him again. Adaora my childhood friend was traumatised because she gave him 5 years of her life trying to impress him in the relationship and she was angry with herself for wasting time in an unfruitful relationship inspite of warnings from all quarters!! As she was crying and talking to me on phone, she screamed at me; when will I get married? How will I start a new relationship again? Why is my life so miserable? God is not fair to me? .....and so on!

I can’t remember all the questions she was asking me but I must tell you that I was speechless and I couldn’t answer her because I was not prepared for those questions at that time! But today by the grace of God I intend to do justice to this issue about waiting matured singles who feel that all hope is lost! Listen carefully please! It is not what happens to a man but what happens IN that man that counts!

Christian singles should rise up and say that they are going to make God their heart’s greatest desire and not pursue relationships the way the rest of the world does. I will like to say that only God can bring a godly spouse to you! So you must make yourself godly to get the BEST from God. You should be able to say Lord inspite of what I see, I am going to do what I believe you called me to do and have the standards you called me to have. I think that is the starting point, making it an issue of obedience to God.

Stressed but life is easy!

                           

Yesterday I was completely burned out because I had too much activities to do that I didn’t realise when I hit the breaking point of my strength and I broke down in the evening because I couldn’t take it anymore but thank God for an understanding husband that is conversant with my body system. He helped me in tidying up my chores while I went to sleep to recuperate!! (Seriously guys I need the sleep if not………hmmnn….what happened in 1864 will repeat itself! Ha….ha, just joking but I have to sleep).

This morning I feel much better and strong!! Thank you Lord for waking me up this morning with the strength of a lion but guess “what”? I will take life easy. Because my health is very important to God and my family!! I just realised that when I’m burned out, my energy is drained and I find it difficult to even tackle the smallest problems in my life!

I have decided to help myself by following this principles henceforth with the help of God on my side and if you care about your health then enjoy these with me as we ride on managing stress for effective healthy living.

Principle 1 Slow down: You’ve worked too hard and simply adjusting your workload will not stop the burnout. You need to actually take a break—make out time to rest and heal. Yes, it’s hard to walk away from work commitments. But it’s easier than suffering serious depression and mental illness. Money is not everything! A vacation will not hurt you!

Rude to God in Church!!

It actually bothers me when people are nonchalant during a church service. Please I want to know if it’s part of life in the 21st century church. Why on earth will people engage in the following; Talking during service, Texting or surfing the web during a service, Sleeping—or snoring!—during a sermon, Clipping fingernails during church, Answering a call, Walking out of a service  during sermon, Letting babies cry incessantly in the service and Chewing gum.

Yet today we live in a distracted culture. We surf the web while we watch TV; we text while we drive; we tweet while we work; we take calls when we are meeting friends for conversation. Some people even crash into each other while walking on sidewalks because they are too busy pinging to see another distracted person headed straight toward them.

We are so focused on everything that we can’t focus on anything. I sometimes wonder if the proliferation of fast food, sugary drinks, movies on demand, “smart” phones and 24-hour news isn’t rewiring our brains so we can’t focus on what’s really important. We’re turning into media zombies.

Last Sunday in church, while the sermon was going on I noticed a lady who strolled in while the service was almost over!! She stylishly brought out her Smartphone and started pinging!! Can you imagine? I thought she was even reading the bible from the phone but I was wrong because she was foolishly smiling to herself as if she was in her sitting room. I do not want to judge her behavior but I believe that she was rude to God!

I do not hate technology. But we could lose the art of discipleship if we don’t reclaim the habit of careful listening. That means when we come to church, especially, we should not just turn off our phones but also tune out all other distractions so we can focus on what God is saying to us—through the preacher, the worship songs, the prayers and the Holy Spirit’s still, small voice.

Please don’t be rude to God. Don’t just go to church. Go and hear the word of the Lord. Don’t talk, text, sleep or take calls when He is speaking. Listen as if your life depended on it.

Dare to Stand Out.

                                 

A person who stands out from the crowd is someone who is comfortable with who they are, has the confidence to be unique and to let their individuality shine. Standing out from the crowd means that you're not afraid to speak your mind.

A person who stands out from the crowd may be someone whose appearance is striking in some way, but more often than not, it is about someone who generates admiration and is remembered by others for being someone special and worthy of looking up to.

The truth of the matter is that we like to impress people and follow the crowd in doing what the world is driving at without stopping to ask the hard questions, such as "Is there a point to this?" or "Just because everyone else has X gadget, why do I also need one? Will it enhance my life?" it's definitely a worthwhile goal to aspire especially if it helps you achieve your other goals in life. But if otherwise, stop and rethink.

A closer look at the lines at our palm hand will tell you that we all have different lines on our palm! This implies that we are different in every sphere of life. That is a more reason why I do not compare myself with anyone because I know that I’m unique in my own way.

The big question is how do we dare to stand out in the crowd?

Adeboye Dedicated Redeemed Church Pavilion Centre In USA

                       

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) dedicated the RCCG North America pavilion centre in Dallas,Texas, U.S

ChildBirth Made Easy.

                                                                      

My little angel is 6 years today!! Her name is Success! while celebrating her today, I can't help but remember that I laboured for 3days just for her to come forth! Not because she didn't want to come to this beautiful world but for the negligence of the nurses on duty at that time. I must tell you that I also was to blame because I didn't apply the principles in the word of God but believed in my strength which failed me but for the intervention of God that came to my rescue I won't be alive today! After her delivery I had problems with my legs and could not walk well for a while but thanks to the Almighty God for healing me.

 

It was after her birth that my weight gain was tripled! But all the same it was a beautiful experience that no woman will be able to explain to you except you experience childbirth yourself and tell the story your own way.

 

Recently I was pondering about what the scripture says about childbirth after the fall of man in Gen 3:16 "Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee". It was indeed a curse to the woman and many women are experiencing it! But in the beginning it was not so! The scripture says " Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing" (1Tim 2: 15a) friends this  should be the report of every woman that believes that Jesus paid the price for every curse that was meant to destroy her!

 

Believe me when I say child birth is easy only if you have faith on the word of God!! Hmmn... I know a lot of ladies will wink at me! My third child was one of the best experience of childbirth that made me truly believe that the curse is over for me as a child of God.

Same-Sex Marriage: Gush.... makes me sick!!!

Truth sounds like hate to those who hate the truth. I do not want to beat around the bush on this at all. I know that it will make some people mad but the truth hurts. Same sex marriage is flat out wrong. God made marriage for a Man and a Woman. It is an abomination to God. So, when people say it’s ok they are wrong. No man is to lay with another man! People have being so deceived. That's why the world is the way it is. When you go against God you sin. I understand we all sin every day, but that is a willing sin. Some people marry for lust and not love. Marriage isn't about lust. Marriage is done in the presence of God and he does not approve gay marriage!!  

If animals do not lay with same sex, how much more a HUMAN BEING who is created in the IMAGE of GOD. I feel sick when I hear that in some countries same sex marriage is approved and some churches celebrate them!! Gush….Can’t take this anymore. The god of this world is indeed satanic!!
