INBOX

Inbox notification

Insufficient memory," I received this notification on my mobile devise sometimes ago, I discovered I had pending messages and to receive this messages, I have to delete some old messages.

Going through my inbox, I discovered some texts are as old as two or three years ago, some are recent as well. On a norms, one of the first thing that would have crossed my mind is to delete those old texts to give room for others but I sighted a few recent messages, they have little or no importance to me, I deleted and I was able to receive new messages.

Embracing God's standard requires you exile irrelevant texts...

Our hearts are like a phone that stores data. Some are old and good some are recent and irrelevant and they defile, to have the Lord speak to us, we must remove those irrelevant texts, ideas and low standards we set for ourselves embracing God's standard of a righteous life.

"God's spirit will always send you the notification regarding the state of your mind. 

Don't ignore."

INBETWEEN THE DREAM-ME

Like an unquenchable fire
Opens the bottled cry
Afterall it's here
It was the best language
Still is the best language 
Inbetween the dream-me

If in those passages 
I'm made to jump the stairs? 
Like an unending film
It rolls along
I didn't get to view it full
Just the advert not the content

Its all wrapped in anxiety 
But I still get to choose
Where have I gone wrong? 
"Its for the best" they say
I got to brace up
Cos if I don't who cares? 

By and large, I understand 
Thanks to the happy pains 
Written in golden letters 
Those lively tears
Some hated love-pains
Those warm embrace

Somehow I wish they could return 
Oh to be blank again I crave 
Still in between the dream me
Give it the lovely pats
Follow the marks inscribed on
By those carefully drafted spanks

Those stairs I couldn't jump
I still can't jump and will never
I wish I could, 
I feel like I'm stucked  
In between the dream me
What to do? 

One day at a time 
Morning breaks gradually 
Mr. Superbeing holds the me
Those dreams
The me 
Shall reveal the dream me. 

inbetween the dream me
lies veiled sights 
who shall unfold
time will tell
time will unfold 
inbetween the dream me

Innocent Wrong

Can you be so innocently wrong?
Oh yes you can! 

Virtually every child at one time or the other have tried to put on their pair of slippers or shoe. In my case, I didn't get to put them on well until I attain a particular age. People would laugh at you when you wear opposite shoes, not only did I wear opposite and oversize shoes, sometimes my clothes too.

"And the times of this ignorance
 God winked at; but now
commandeth all men everywhere
 to repent" (Act 17:30)

Still in the cool part of my memories are those times when I ended up putting my hands where my head ought to be or putting both legs in a single leg space of those short, talking of those times when to put on your panties becomes a very difficult thing to do and you end up turning it upside down and there comes the struggle to pull it off.

"Those wrongly buttoned shirts
Makes you look horrible!
Learn from your instructor" 

With corrections and love from loved ones and parents I was able to learn to do these things properly and I'm sure you did also.

Lets bring it home, how many times have you been corrected by the author of your life as to putting your hands where your legs supposed to be? Your life is the dress, the shoe, shorts.... Those buttons you misarranged making one side of the shirt unbalanced and odd? God knows just what is best for you don't you think? He has every reason for everything he does. 

"with the oversized shoe on,
you are prone to miss it" 

As you read through, you can hear him pointing your attention that oversized shoe you're putting on, that undersized shoe and dress! just because you love the dress or shoe does not make it good for you; God has a better plan. The times of ignorance is over, you have reached the age of accountability..... Grow!

Don't try to force your leg
in that shoe, it will hurt!
Ask for grace to say "I DO!" 

"Let God tutor you through
your innocent stage,
attain accountability! 

 "Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation..." Hebrews 3:7-8.

Will He say still say Yes?

Will He still say Yes?
don't stand and puzzle
while your heart races
with worries

I can never forget that day--the day I bore the biggest burden on my head, shouldered the worries of an unborn generation, how burdened and scared I was.

"It was not intentional" I mumbled to my sister, I just wanted to give it one more trial! What will I say to dad and mom? Geez!
I have not only implicated myself by damaging the big generator, I have also succeeded in putting my innocent sister in trouble! She brought the idea that led to the mistake but, I did it.

Dad soon came asking, "why the generator's belt was as it is, guess what? I lied! adding to my already-made offense. Weeks rolled by, I lost my peace as a child, I was so unsure.
Finally, like I have some gasping courage in me, " I will confess" I mumured to myself, each step I take my heart leaped like it was going to jump out of me.

"Dad, I did it,
I spoiled the generator" 

"Dad," I called out kneeling and shivering, "I did it!, I spoiled the generator" waiting for the next blow of word on my face as I knelt down ready for whatever I will get. He said, "child, you suffered yourself too much before telling me this, do you know how great peace you refused yourself? " Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

O my God, I wished I had said this earlier than this, I said as I sobbed with great tears of relief.

How many times have you kept those hurting feelings to yourself? Your mistakes, your desires that is giving you so much troubles? That thing you think God will never overlook! It sucks and saps life and peace out of you! Ain't you tired? Give it up! his gentle voice of relieve will let you go free....


God is not giving up on you! He's still waiting for you to spill it out.

Don't let your fears weigh you down,
God isn't saying a no!
He is saying YES!
He isn't putting a full stop, just a pause!

At Zero

Zero Level... 

If you haven't reached
zero level, you might not experience
the Heroic manifestation of God. 

Talking about zero, everyone knows its a hopeless situation. Have you ever been in such situations that you wonder if God is asleep or He is tired of hearing your prayers? why heaven seems locked and earth is just impossible? Maybe that's where you are? 

Let's take a step back to the story of Lazarus of Bethany, Mary and Martha believed Jesus will always come to their rescue but alas, he delayed! He only gave his word. They waited until Lazarus died and was buried. 

Maybe they weren't even expecting the King of life again: since he did not show up when they most needed his help. He soon entered the city after 4 (four) days of delay yet he is still on time. Yes! Lazarus lived again. 

Time will fail me to tell of the three Hebrew children, the son of God did not appear in the furnace for them to see and be satisfied that he will save them, he waited until they were thrown into the furnace-- "then came the morning." 

The experience of the red sea is not an exemption, the sea did not part ways before the Israelites got there, they were completely hopeless before God did something. 

What am I driving at? 

Sometimes the answer to our questions or request will not come until we are completely hopeless, and like Jesus said, "the sickness is not unto death..."  John 11:4. Exo 14:13.

EXTERNAL STORAGE

Everyone has the EXTERNAL STORAGE

The Phone represents the body, in it the world,
devil wants to perform their enterprise,
don't be a medium for the devil's enterprise.

Some couple of months ago, I was lucky to purchase a new phone. It was a happy experience, all I had at the peak of my mind was how to showcase my little business to the world on social media and have many people place orders, I thought within me, "this will greatly increase sales". 

I was so desperate to create additional space for storage of important pictures, videos for advertisement, so i got a memory card of about 8gig. I inserted it my new phone and I was good to go. I could save a lot of pictures, videos and other things I wanted on my phone and special reservations for music (very, very important). I made separate folders for my business being the major reason why I had desperately needed a phone and that was it. 

The memory card represents the never dying spirit God has put in us.
God wants us to fill our spirit with holy things.

Without the memory card, I would not have enough space to contain my major purpose considering my uppermost desire to showcase my business, There are actually many other functions the phone can perform but the most important at that time was MY BUSINESS every other thing can follow. 

Take a shot from this side, the phone can be likened to our flesh, and the additional memory card, our spirit-SOUL which is the real man in us. The plan of God from the beginning is that we fit into His divine arrangements for our lives. Now we eat and drink to sustain the flesh. the flesh is prone to want to satisfy itself and desires while the spirit its own. Of course, God knows that we have desires, wants and that there are certain things we need to do to earn a living, yet he desire that we live to fulfill his divine plans. 

A shift in the desired purpose to fill the memory card God has given you with other things asides the business will only choke your God-given purposes. Your phone, the flesh is the casing for the memory card- the spirit. Whatever you fill it with is what it will contain, if you give room for unnecessary items that could corrupt the memory card, surely it will be corrupted and you send your never dying soul to damnation. 

Maybe you have filled you memory card with items other than that it was designed for, there is a lot you can do, you can "delete" maybe yours is already overtaken by "viruses" of what you do with the phone (the body), the anti-virus is the blood of Jesus and it will make it white as snow giving you a bran new memory card so you can start afresh. 

Be sure one day, God will unmount the SD card, you will give account.
call for the anti-virus to amend your SD card now!

 "...though you sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."Isaiah 1:18.

Up NEPA!

There is a better alarm than" UP NEPA",
 don't you want to raise that alarm? 

 Up NEPA! that has been one my favourite alarm as a child, every child in the building would raise the alarm at the top of his/her voice until the adults joined the clique. Up till this present age children, adults even the aged still raise the alarm whenever there is electric power supply. Of course, everyone gets exited and there is this uncontrollable drive that makes one want to scream, shout and jump especially when their has been light.out for a long time. Our body is lightened up and we feel like it's day, most times you regain your energy even the sick is restored.

The power of illumination is so great that only those who have once being in darkness appreciates it most. At the period of darkness, you're down, scared (especially as a child, who can't stay in the dark alone), you feel tired but immediately there is illumination, it saps you of your weaknesses and set you back on the track.

That is what the light of Jesus does to the heart that receives his Marvellous light. When the light of Jesus through salvation enters the heart, it increases strength, gives you joy, fills you with so much excitement that you want to shout and scream and say: "THANK YOU JESUS!".

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"

1 Peter 2:9

If the light of Christ has illuminated your heart, rejoice and if not don't wait another seconds, ultimate joy awaits you. 

There is a better alarm than" UP NEPA", don't you want to raise that alarm?

The little boy watching

Twas on a Sunday morning, the service was on and I was sitted right there at the choir spot (the spot was elevated that everyone could see anyone sitting there). I could see a boy sitting directly opposite to me from the congregation as I lifted my head, my eyes met with his and I noticed he has been repeating every action I did.

To be sure, I repeated several actions and he did just exactly, so funny! I managed to divert his attention, I concentrated on the preacher vigorously so he too would do the same and it did work.

Dear readers, many are watching you imitating every single step you take--your silent fans. God has placed you on a high platform where everyone can see you, don't miss lead your silent imitators.



 "Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:" 2 Corinthians 3:2.

***There is a little boy looking up to you for encouragement to continue walking in the good path, don't let him slip away by sending a wrong signal!***

Be sure to give them an epistle worthwhile to read and imitate!

NO DOUBT!

   Most times when mummy returns from work, she would buy us some things most times fruits, nuts and at Christmas periods  she would buy clothes for us and many other things.  

As a child I have never thought otherwise of her, my beliefs has always been that mummy has bought something for me I have so much faith in her as a child and up till now, I believe she will do anything possible and good to satisfy me especially when she promises to do something I don't bother asking how she will get it done or what method she will adopt, I simply believe and hope till it comes to fulfillment.

How many times has God promised you he will do a things and you still stand to wonder how he will carry it out? If our earthly parent can do all in their power, will Jesus say no? You don't need to ask him How? When? What means? What should I expect? Or how soon will it be? He is God and God alone just trust him, don't doubt... He will perform what he has promised.

No more doubts!

DO YOU STILL DOUBT?

Sometimes ago, I earnestly tendered my request to God in prayers and he assured me my prayers have been  answered. I waited and hoped, longed and sighed for the fulfilment but it took a longer time to come and I had to ask him why he delayed that long, the answer brought peace to my heart and I learned to wait on him. Though he delay, he's not denying.

Has God given you a promise and you long for its fulfilment? Wait, ask, he isn't denying. If you're faithful and willing he will open up to you as to why you're being delayed. God will not give you something that will affect your living, he knows best.  Matthew 7:7 encourages us to ask, seek as knock. God might be preparing you for the answers to your prayers, it's for the best. Ask till your joy is full and your heart is at rest.

They're not the Same!

"They are the same yet they don't mean the same thing."

A critical look at these examples:

✅ Daniel in the den of lions  

✅ The three Hebrew children right there in the fiery furnace.

 

✅ The Israelites at the red sea. 

It's not funny you know. These three young men made their stand known and yet God did not show up until it was done, until they were right there in the furnace.

In Daniel's case, God didn't seal the lions' mouth until he was thrown down, God didn't part the red sea until the Israelites got to its bank and the river and Egyptian armies at their back.

Having this knowledge, I want you to know, God do not have to show up immediately you pray, immediately you call, immediately you ASK (Ask, Seek and Knock) but He will not deny you, He needs to know your decision and how faithful you can be. Remember you cannot be promoted except you first undergo a test and be successful.

In God's case, there is no half faithfulness. Just be faithful to the end. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. 

GOD'S DELAY IS NOT DENIAL, The two words have the same first letter, but they are not the same. DO NOT DEFINE GOD'S "D" STAND AND LET HIM MOVE, He has only delayed you not deny you, He's very much closer to you.

THE CAMERAMAN

At virtually every ceremony in town, a cameraman is invited to cover the event for so many reasons, but most especially for record keeping purpose.
In movie making, there is always a cameraman who covers the film to be produced. One thing is certain, you won't hear the cameraman's voice telling you to act well (while on the stage) or telling you to be focused (in ceremonies). He does his job and trust me, all that you do will be seen in the movie undeniably.

In film making, there is always a director, who stands behind the scene to guide, most times you hear the director say: "cut" and after the necessary correction has been made, you here him say "action" . The actor starts all over and the film becomes a success after all. We then sit and watch, laugh and wonder how we had acted, we sometimes ask the question,

In "was I this small then?".


So it is,
every work of man is directed by God provided he's allowed. All our actions and inactions, we will stand to give account one day. If God has given you the opportunity to cut and start all over, it is better you do because one day, you'll stand to watch all the actions you've performed in the flesh and the greater part is - it includes both the seen and the unseen actions - be it thoughts, inordinate affections, words, deeds and all. God's cameraman is standby; nothing is hidden from him. He sees it all. Be warned!

Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

*DON'T BE DECEIVED, HE IS AN ALL-SEEING AND ALL-KNOWING GOD!! JUDGEMENT IS COMING!!!

Can He? Could He? Would He?

Can, could, would?

You haven't gone too far

Don't sit and ask that question 

He isn't that wicked 

He is forgiving and loving 

You know what's keeping you away? 

YOU! All because of one kind of  assumption 

Stop the assumption and act fast

Cos that reporter is still very active 

If you let him he will only report you

Report yourself, don't assume. 

Open arms.....Grace abounds

AT THAT MOMENT

Dark skies, black moon

Red sun, gray star

Hot rain, wild breeze

It's just the opposite 

Here's, locked

There's blocked

Up's sealed

Down's crack

Friend-enmity 

Hateful love

No one is worth the trust 

Thrust through severally

How can you love? 

Seems your world crashing

Seems your relating got no advantage 

Seems that future won't come 

You can't even raise your head. 

The darkest moment is just a door leading to your long awaited breakthrough.... Don't loose hope. 

Lit your pathway with that thing God has given you. Don't run away and hide, at that moment keep your head high....... It's in you. 

See you at the top.

LYRICS OR MELODY?

Music is said to be the medicine of the soul, spirit even the body. The lyrics of a song have a lot to do in this aspect, it is the major thing that touches the heart of man the music does the backup work.
       I read a quote sometimes ago it reads thus: "when we are happy we listen to the music, when sorrow comes we understand the lyrics." This happens to be 100% true. 99% of the world's populace are after the melody/music of the song, the beat, the bends say swaggs in the voice of the singer and all sorts not in the lyrics. No wonder why majority joyfully sing songs that are more or less curses and gibberish. Little wonder the Bible tells us in Eph. 5:10 to prove what is acceptable unto God and to live as children of the light.
       Are you a chorister or singer? Have you ever wondered why you sing and people seem to be moved with the song and you are not? Especially when the song is a touching one; you are moved to shedding tears and they are not? This is so because:
🎤 People who listen to you are not interested in your styles, melody and a sort but are rather captivated by the lyrics of the song inspired by the holy spirit. If you are a musician or singer who is always singing to show up your talents, you are wrong. Inspire the world with the lyrics.

If reverse is the case, I mean if you are moved and people are not, two things are involved, you are either not a prayerful person or people are less concerned about the lyrics which can either transform, give them new hope, joy and satisfy a longing heart.
Dear readers, be watchful or the kind of songs you sing or dance to, some lyrics are actually not good to hear neither will they add good values to you life.
Musicians, prove the acceptable will of God, impact lives and not enslave lives with your music. Let the spirit of God lead you.

TRUST

"Don't stop trusting lest you start rusting...."

          Have you ever seen a rust metal? Does it look so pleasant? I'm sure your answer is "No". This is what happens to a man when he fails to trust God for everything. There is more to trusting than just depending, it is more of dedication than just saying to an individual "I trust you more than anyone". Trusting means:

·         Giving Committing the "WHOLE" into the hands of someone, believing he can handle things and they won't go wrong. Proverbs 3:5; 16:3, Psalm 37:5.

·         Acknowledging someone. Involving the individual in "all-whole" that concerns you. Proverbs 3:6

·          Doing away with one's approach to situations, seeking adequate advice. Proverbs 3:5

Trusting God is far deeper than trusting man. In fact, the Bible admonished not to trust in man because his breath is right there in his nostrils.

Acknowledging God does not only mean professing that God is but knowing him in all we do, seeking his will, counsel in everything. Trust and Faith walk together; you cannot trust and yet you don’t have faith. Trust is as deep as, even when you're in dilemma you trust Him to do something very soon. Heb 11:1.

God has never disappointed those who trust in Him. Tells us we should rather trust God than trust man, his own tomorrow isn't sure Psalm 118:8.

          Failure to trust in God has resulted into many purposeless lives. Many people's life are as a dam (rusting state) and else they renew their trust in God, seek His hands in all they do, committing their all to Him, they'll remain at a spot. Jesus says in John 14:6 that He is the way, truth and life, if anyone wants to make headway in life let him TRY TRUSTING GOD WHOLEHEARTEDLY. Mind you, God is not mocked, He is all seeing  and he knows if you are wholeheartedly trusting in Him or not, so in order to avoid "Rust", "Trust" God, ask Him for help to do so and he will grant you.

The lot of those who  wholeheartedly trust God: Psalm 37:5, 32:10, 34:8, 40:3, 125:1, 9:10,

WHY

WHY?

Why do we start when we don't plan to end?

Why do we live when we surely must die?

Why do we laugh when we surely will cry?

Why do we keep saying 'it is well' when things are falling apart?

Why do we love while hatred is lying in one corner?

Why do we mourn when we know there is a meeting point?

Why do we mourn when we know loved ones have gone to rest?

Why do we struggle and hustle in life?
Why o! why do we show happiness when sadness fills our heart?

Why do we stick to the world when we know they are ephemeral?

Why do we worry when we can pray?

Why do we seek for help elsewhere when we just need to do the needful?

Why do we say 'NO' when all we mean is 'YES'?

Why do we die before the appointed time?

Why do we say 'okay' when we do mean 'not really'?

Why do we say 'goodbye' when we really don't want to 'let go'?

Why do we say 'go' when we mean to say 'stay'?

Why do we 'bother' when we know there is 'another'?

Why do the rich become poor?

Why do the mighty fall?

our bad times overshadow the good ones like the seven years of famine and seven years of plenty in the then Egypt?

Why do good people die and the evil men last longer?

Why do we worry when we know we will grow weary if we do?

Why does the end of one thing serve as the beginning of another?

So many WHYS...... why o why, why, why why 

this why question

when will it end?

The answer to most this unending questions lies in our hands 

why do we hold on to things we do not need?

why do we take life as if its all we've got?

why do we hurry when we know it won't tarry?

We all need a double fold of patience

we all need to be renewed in our thinking and approach to circumstances of life. 

This WHY puzzle needs to be resolved.

WHY THE UNENDING QUESTION?

PATIENCE Vs PATIENT

PATIENCE Vs PATIENT 

Exactly that moment when it formed 

before that moment when it formed 

the 'sluggish passenger' had to come in

it is a matter of compulsion 

you cannot deny

the sluggish passenger 

No one could accelerate 

they'll just get to spew

its the passenger, the passenger 

You're always late 

you'll be late again

how depressing then said he:

"no matter how slow, no matter how the length 

if left out, you'll get to spill"

a step at a time it's not a heavy task 

Now you that you live,

you've got to live with me 

the sluggish passenger you cannot exclude

don't bother to outrun

you'll only get screwed

just let it be, do the needful

You hurry and worry 

it won't change the tick

the tuck stands still

it only gets slower

just lay your hurry in cosy 

and your worry to rosy

Patient? No! Patience, embrace!

there is no sidetrack

Victim? No! Patience, embrace!

there is no boycotting

you must embrace, you must be patience 

it gave you an edge in life in the first place

PATIENCE saves you from being a PATIENT!

In life, we must allow patience take the lead even in our anxious states. We  are bound to be successful only if we are patient. Lack of patience has landed many in an unpalatable state of life which they just have to live with. No complain! they were not 'patient' enough so they ended up as 'patients'. There is no little patience, little patience is no patience. We need to exercise patience, that destination you so much desire will be realised someday through patience, hard work and the ordinance of the almighty. You can't boycott patience, you only get to spew.
