All I desire

I promised in my last article to write you sooner than ever. So, here comes the bride lol.

This is a prayer request from a "huge fan".
Read aloud, pray along and let the Holy Spirit minister to your soul.

Teach me to be good, teach me to dwell on your path.
Teach me to do things aright, teach me to say the right things.
Teach me to fight my pasts, teach me to always lean forward.

Teach me to overcome my failures and fears, teach me to be strong.
Teach me to remember I have you to depend on, teach me to always remember that you’re right by my side.

Control my eyes from sadness, control my heart from anxiety.
Control my feet from places I’m not wanted, stop my legs from going to places where I’d not be appreciated.

Control my decisions from haste, control my eyes from greed.
Control my lips from over-excited jestings, control my mouth from blabbings.

Help, for my household and I have suffered, friends have mocked us, and families have shamed us.

We need your urgent intervention, or the devil might gain full control.
We have long suffered and prayed. 
Those that have done worse rejoice day by day, but this has never been our case.

You said you haven’t forgotten us, you promised you are in action on our behalf, but with days that have gone by, our hearts are heavily burdened, and our eyes, swollen from tears.

Put an end to this long time mourning of our hearts, and let our enemies be put to shame.
Fight all our adversaries, and show them that you are our God.

Teach me to be happy, teach me to always rejoice in you Christ Jesus, Amen.

Thank you for reading.
Do have a lovely week ahead❤️

The Mapped out Plan😌

Happy New Month!! 🎊🎊 Hope it's not too late to say "happy new year" too? Better late than never my dears, I apologize🥺. It's beautiful to write to you again. The most anticipated story I failed to share last year is what I'm about to share right now. So grab a cone of popcorn and enjoy. Actually, be blessed. I grew up with the fantasy of becoming a dentist. Don't ask why. I guess my mind had just created enough images of dentists and seeing myself as one felt angelic. The regular admission process was on and I didn't make it for the University of Lagos' cutoff, but miraculously (or so I thought) the then Ondo State governor; Dr. Olusegun Mimiko had just established the University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED) right in my home town and was open to students for application. My parents were excited. They were hopeful I wasn't going to miss a school year as they felt things were going to work in my favour, being an indigene of the locality,...

What A Journey!

I thought hard and long about what this article should entail. My head failed to come up with a lovely post, but an excellent mind came up with some soothing words. Here is a beautiful piece from a friend and devotee. LOL . I'm sure some of us can relate to its content. Kindly read aloud on your beds, savor each paragraph, and be strengthened. " On your mark Get set Go! These words were not spoken to me before I chose to pick up the baton to run this race. I kept running without looking back, still am. But I haven't stopped to wonder what type of a race this is. I mean, what type of a race validates a fall but rebukes a retreat, at the same time mandates its participants to uplift lagging/dropping mates right on the journey? What type of a race encourages its athletes to run, not for the medal at the finish line but a love for the journey What type of a race mounts up hurdles that limit its athlete's speed but strengthens their zeal ...

Don't Be Too Hard on Yourself

Who wants to hear my life's story? I've tried not to document anything on this year's lockdown experience, but I can't help it. It was an experience that shook everyone. Nations went helpless, governments went clueless, people got lifeless but God was potent.  I remember living in fear at the very beginning, seeing the death records rise every minute in various countries and of course the shootings and robberies on the Nigerian streets. Staying indoor all day, and getting the news that people around were taken to isolation centres, weren't helpful either. I mean all of these got me afraid and I'm sure everyone else got frightened too. I remember almost having a panic attack one evening after going to the bathroom to ask God various questions. Things got real and the only asset everyone was fighting for was life . Now, there was an endsars protest which, oh my.. wasn't as productive as we all thought it would be and again, people went into hiding to p...
