MY FIRST LOVE..

Why should I fear when I have you? 

Surrounded by your love, your everlasting love.

Why should I care what people say? 

They don't know what you mean to me.

At the end of a day, do you ever feel stressed, tired and and yet like you haven't done something important?

Most of us reach for our mobiles, call our family, loved ones or watch a series just to fill the vacuum.

But guess what? It is the love of your life that your soul is missing. 

Just break into tongues or worship or read the bible, you will feel the whole ness in little or no time.

MISSED Y'ALL.

I never want to miss you guys again. 

At the rate at which this thing is going, I may just look for my Nitel SIM card to use in this house.

Too much has happened in the last month, I fell so ill and I officially am off coke. I don't even want to see my name on the coke bottle, that alone sef fit cause me sickness. 

So my dear friend and prayer partner Faith called me at 3 45am on the 8th of few that she was in labour. Na so sleep clear for my eye. Thank God MTN was in good shape, got to hers and headed to the hospital at that time. 

While we waited for her to dilate enough to push, there were several other preggers there sharing each other's experiences, and one mentioned  that one of the nurses on duty is a deaconess in her church and so she felt a little more privileged than the rest of the women.

So I walk into the room with my friend and two nurses start to tell my friend to get ready to have a tear, I was so irritated, how do you tell a first time mum to get ready for a tear? So I say she won't tear in Jesus name and the DEACONESS says to me this is not a "Jesus" matter. I knew there and then that her fan who thought she had an edge was in bigger trouble than she ever imagined so when I heard the woman was landed a slap when she was delivering her baby, I no too worry. Can't blame her much though, she may not understand and believe in the name. 

I'm sorry ma.EVERYTHING is a Jesus matter. ( John 1:1-4). Christians have so watered down this my Jesus, little wonder His name don't work for them. 

God says He's the God of all Flesh, is there anything too difficult for Him?

I fear o. Anyway our princess came forth at 2pm. We give Jehovah praise.

John 14:13-14

PERFECT LOVE KNOWS NO FEAR..

It has been nearly a month I've been away. I moved house and the network there is epileptic.

We have entered the month of love and for nigeria, the month of elections. 

People are scared, many have travelled, many didn't come back after Christmas, many are scheduled to travel just before elections. 

Who are the people running? Christians! Who should stand and pray for their nation, who should take a stand for what is right, who should cast their votes like honest citizens. 

There has to be something those three Hebrew boys knew that we in this generation have refused to know, there has to be something Queen Esther knew that we don't want to know. Obviously we don't trust God, if we do we won't be thinking of where to hide, we won't be afraid.

I'm never going to go into politics personally, but if the youth run everytime, then they have absolutely no right to ask why buhari is contesting at 72. There's no youth in Nigeria to contest. There will be no violence, I speak what I want to see. Gods love will be shed abroad in our hearts this month.

God will help us.

Pray for Nigeria

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IJATO..

Happy birthday to my dear friend Ijato Zainab Ahmed née Elagbaje. JT as she is fondly called, a name she didn't like. 

One of the kindest people I know. I misunderstood her as a young girl because of my own insecurities and selfishness. I've known her like 15 years now. I remember our Kano and Zaria days, remember our book of 'arrows', remember maiduguri road, Some sweet and some Crazy but in all very memorable days that has formed me in ways i can't explain. We lived like sisters, from the same purse, from the same box. I learnt first hand that every great relationship starts with a hello. Life long friendships.

Thank you for being my friend even when I was difficult to be friends with. 

Happy birthday babay, may you fulfil Gods purpose for your life, God bless and prosper you.

STOP THE ACCUSER..

I know many people are afraid to come into Gods presence when they feel they have sinned. Infact that's when His presence is most needed.

The devil will accuse you, remind you of your wrong doing, But He's God, He's love, He's father, ever waiting to recieve us back. There's no shadow of turning in Him, there's nothing He can't forgive, No sin shocks Him. Ask the prodigal son. Ask David.

When you pray, God listens, when you worship God speaks and it is what He says He performs, that is when you can be guilt free.

Hebrew 4:16

GOD CAN BE TRUSTED

Have you ever had a plan and you left God out of the equation and it worked out? Did it last? Did it give you joy? 

Even when things happen to us by chance, most of us still shout thank God, I've never heard anyone shout 'devil thank you'.

Yet many times we are afraid to trust God.

All the times I have trusted a man, it has failed me woefully and I always hear the Holy Spirit say to me, "you could have asked me Tega". 

I watched a movie yesterday, and a man asked his wife to go get money from his room to give to someone who just had a baby. The wife got back, passed the man she was meant to give, and gave it to her husband, who in turn handed it to the man. I wondered why, because the man stood closer to the wife but it was the husband who sent her on the errand, he didn't ask her to give the man. She didn't bypass her husband,

That's how God is with us, He doesn't want us to bypass Him. It is true that it is a man God will send to sort us out, but He wants us to ask Him. Then He in turn will send the man to help us to us, if you bypass God, you will get disappointed, humiliated, embarrassed. Faith they say grows. If you have trusted Him for a meal, You can trust Him for a house. May we not see shame this year as we trust Him.

God can be trusted.

Jeremiah 17:5-8

ON AN ASSIGNMENT OR THE ASSIGNMENT.

Have you ever looked at your life or situation and asked yourself " How on earth did I get myself into this?" Or " How did I get here?" 

I bet Joseph did, I bet mary mother of Jesus did, at a point even Jesus said that God should take the cup of suffering from Him.

So if you have ever asked yourself those kind of questions, you are on assignment. Top secret one sef, because all of them were on serious assignments.

And like Sheila says, God sends His finest agents on those kind of mind boggling assignments. The kind that will question your sanity. But He also equips you, so no matter how many times you want out of the situation, the manifesto keeps flashing through your mind and the Holy Spirit keeps nudging you on.

Recently I was asked if the assignment was too heavy and if it can be passed to someone else? I fear na, I beg with speed because all your ground work will be in vain. Imagine Mary saying "God how will I push out a baby when I've never met with a man?With no medical assistance or CS?" (How e take end with women wey don meet men sef? There's still pain.)

He will have found a 'Martha' to be mother of Jesus and Mary will have been known as Mary the carpenters wife not the mother of our Saviour.

In your life situation, are you the assignment or on an assignment? It will help not to give up when the times get tough.
