CHRISTIANITY IN TOTALITY.

I took my lil sister to the hospital this morning and had to go and do all the paper work. The attitude most of the staff have is crappy. At 9 am you have such a rotten attitude what will happen at 2 pm when beta sun don comot? 

One of them even had a wrist band from one of the popular churches around. Oyibo man fit no be Christian but they understand their position as caregivers and act accordingly. 

This brings me back to when I went to one government office to do some paperwork. I got there early (9am)  hoping that I'd be done within 20 mins and move on to other stuff. The lady who was to attend to me was at her desk but she was doing morning devotion??? She read the devotional, read her bible then proceeded to pray all while I was standing by her desk waiting to be attended to. So I asked the guy next to her table who was diligently attending to people if someone else could attend to me and they said it had to be her and he went ahead to sarcastically say "that's how she is" in Hausa with a smirk on his face.

I was in utter shock! 

She didn't flinch till she was done for a full 45 mins I was waiting before she attended to me. What happened to waking up early to do your devotion? Now if I wasn't a born again Christian I wont ever want to be known as one if her behavior is anything to go by. She looks Christian (natural hair, no make up, long skirt, long sleeve shirt buttoned to her throat, no nail polish) speaks Christian but acts otherwise. When I asked her she said, there's no where you can't pray to God! I said that's right! 

I am not a perfect person but really I understand why they say let your conduct win souls to God, because many people separate God from their jobs. 

Christians let's stop making a mockery of Christianity. 

In other news, I sat waiting for my sisters test results with pregnant women with a huge grin on my face, that was me practicing and it felt sooooooooooooo good! 

Ephesians 6:5-8 MSG

I AM NOT AN ORPHAN!!!

I've entered a new craze of learning every skill I can afford in the beauty business for now, so recently I found a new love and decided to make enquiries and the trainer I got in Lagos said 30k with materials for 3 weeks. I was ecstatic since I may be down that way for the holiday, then I checked my finances and decided to find out in abuja. She said 50k without materials and for 6 weeks. YEPA!  I begged this woman, yanned her in Yoruba, she said that was why she even gave me a discount. So I felt a little deflated after speaking with her.

As I drove back I started to calculate which would be cheaper (financially and convenient)and how I'd get the cash, then the Holy Spirit asked me if I had asked Him and reminded me how I don't trust Him. So I apologized and just told Him what I needed. Nne na so I no hear answer from Am o. I really thought He will give me one sharp solution as He asked me na. I just somehow got distracted by other things and never went back to the subject. I sat down a few hours later going through amazing pictures of my new love and then I mentioned it to someone in wwp and she said she knew someone who could train me. Luckily I had her number, I rang her and she promised to teach me, Guess how much? FOC babay! I was over the moon. Then I asked how much I need for materials and she said 5k😳!  Waaaaaaaaaaaat? A feather could have knocked me over. 

Just like that? Now I get why the Holy Spirit asked me to ask Him o. He indeed is a gentleman, doesn't force Himself on you. But I love that You talk to me o. Thank you o, please ehn, force Your gentle benevolent self on me o. God loves me So much,

Today the 5th day of December,  I Oghenetega Ojevwe Oluwatosin Omogor née Ojanomare oni Oghenerugba Omogor boldly declare that Lord, You owe me NOTHING. Anything You give me in this life na jara. I am grateful for how you Father me, how you love me and answer me. 

Thank you! 

John 14:18 (AMP)

PRAY OR BE A PREY!

Today my pastor O was teaching about prayers and the four watches of the night and how important it is in the life of a person. Over and over I've heard her say 'the sons of Issachar led Israel because they knew the times and seasons, in plain English they were spiritually sensitive. As she said it again this evening and started to raise a prayer point about demonic calendars, I remembered my uncle Emmanuel got buried earlier today.

A little over a year ago my mothers immediate younger brother passed on (uncle tony),and at the same time my mum was ill, she just had a stroke. Just after my uncle passed on, my cousin had a dream that at his funeral there were 2 other coffins set beside his coffin. She told me and because my mum had a stroke I began to pray for my mum and somehow God was gracious unto her and she didn't die then. As she came to, I was thinking she was out of danger for good so I let my guard down, I didn't pray much afterwards. (Now I know why  my pastor o says after a victory, pray hardest). Like pastor B says, the only good thing about the devil is his persistence. When he sees you have snoozed, mr to and fro will come and sow tares.

A year later my mum passed on, while we were still trying to digest that loss, my mums younger brother uncle Emmanuel passed on a month later. As soon as i was told, I remembered that dream.

That dream came to pass! 3 of them died within a year of almost the same kinda illness. Ah it pained me, Because I know God reveals to redeem, na me no suspect. One full year!!! Instead I was doing baby things when major project dey my 'doormot', carried away by activities when I should have stood my ground in the place of intercession. Me spiritual maiguard? Small sleep like this and devil snuck up on me and stole from me.

It is well sha. May I never lose consciousness of my post again in Jesus name. 

Now if I hear 'evil calendar' they must not complete it o, i don start to shout 'SCATTER BY FIRE'.

Rest in Peace Uncle Emmanuel, if you fit, hail my mama for me, tell her I miss her o.

John 10:10a

BROTHERS' KEEPER?

On Tuesday morning as I drove to wwp, I saw a pretty young lady arranging her belongings in the middle of the road. I thought it was rather weird but I thought maybe the things fell off while she carried them.

Today as I dressed up, my phone rang and it was a neighbor asking that we have a meeting concerning another neighbor who has lost her mind, Infact I was asked to come and pray for her. How dem take know say I be born again sef fear me, because I barely know anyone in the estate.

We hadn't had light for days and I found out this young lady went there to damage the estates transformer, she had attacked a few people at night , generally becoming destructive.

Out of 100 people called for the meeting, only a handful showed up, no one wants to be bothered with another man's problem. My heart broke,I like that a few women decided to take charge of her well being. That girl could walk into the wrong hands in these evil times.

When you don't hear from people, actively look for them. Let's look out for each other. What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.

I will never pray for someone to lose peace again because I have seen what it is like for someone to lose peace. There I was getting irritated that I could not charge my gadgets, sleep with the ac, watch tv, drink cold water because there was no light while someone else has lost her peace and could have easily died. God please have mercy.

God bless you my sis Affy.

Pray for Christabel.

Philippians 2:9 

BOTH SIDES OF MY LIPS..

I was in a salon and the TV was tuned to trace Channel and somehow I heard the lyrics of a song being played so I looked up and the things I saw the girls doing in the video eeeeeehn! I nearly fainted o. Didn't know when I shouted out, those girls are young and should be in school finding their path.

Now one of the artistes was someone who was "reigning" before I hung my party stilettos, my first thought was 'dis guy no know say him don old', then I heard the tins coming out of his mouth, HA! 

So as I protested, the guy attending to me said he's good, That there's nothing wrong with the video. 

I know he's married and has a daughter, so I asked if he would have taken one of the girls in the video as his wife, he shouted a loud no and neither would he be happy to see his daughter dance like that. So who's the song and video good for na? Another person pikin good to spoil but not your own? 

That's speaking from both sides of your lips sir.

And said if they are not nude and dancing/ speaking vulgarity no one will listen to their music. Is this generation even thinking about eternity?  

This right here is what is wrong with the world! All the wrong things have become the norm and I protest this. There's absolutely nothing cool about swearing and spitting out obscenity.

Now this is my thought, if we all do our part and bring our daughters up right, letting them understand who they are in Christ, all these artistes won't have any girls to use for their obscene videos, then maybe they will go back to gospel music na. How can a girls role model be Amber Rose mbok? How can twerking in water be your ambition? When Jesus is coming soon? 

Then they will say they want a God fearing man to marry, When God Himself dey fear dem, that God fearing man has a praying mother who has prayed him into destiny, so she most likely will break into PhD level of tongues and bind you when you bounce into her house in ya bum shorts.

Let's help our children abeg. 

Proverbs 22:6

CONTENT OR CONTAINER..

Not too long ago I shared a blogpost as usual and someone sent me a message more or less rebuking me that my BIO doesn't add up and should be reviewed. I had just lost my mother so I didn't have time.

I can't remember her exact words right now but she meant that I can't be a make up artist who is a shoe lover and be a God lover.

I can do without shoes, being a beauty consultant is one of the channels God uses to put food on my table. God blessed me with that talent and I will not apologize for it.

I personally don't think it is fair to judge a human being based on your personal beliefs. Some people have said it is in the bible, I also read about queen Esther being beautified before she appeared before the king. Someone said the reason she hates make up is because Jezebel put on make up to seduce Jehu. I am not arguing with them o but I know people who wear no make up or love shoes or jewelry who are wicked and nasty. I don't judge them, so please don't judge my spiritual life because I am a make up artist or like to dress well, if the fact that I am a make up person or love shoes makes another to sin against God by all means I will desist.

If God tells me to give all that up because it is taking His place in my life, I will with speed without a second thought.

My identity isn't make up artist, bead maker or shoe lover, my identity is in Christ. 

I still remain a fine girl with anointing sir!

In other news, someone needs to tell PHCN that what makes a good Sunday is uninterrupted light and  white rice, stew and a bottle of coke that was abandoned in the fridge for days...

LESSON 101..

My Oni Tega has been laid to rest. Painful but inevitable. The funeral was fantastic. God was glorified. I didn't cry too much because my ears were ringing from the rebuke I got just after she died. 

I really like that The Holy Spirit speaks to me in different situations, He never abandon me be dat.

I rushed back to abuja to make sure I was part of the last workers meeting in WWP and it was beautiful, some workers were appreciated with gifts. Being HOD of my department I was meant to nominate but as I went for Oni Tega's funeral, my partner did it. There's someone I really wanted to put her name for an award but somehow it didn't happen and she was upset, that she deserved to get an award.

I noticed that, and we arranged a few personal stuff for a few people we also wanted to appreciate. We gave 3 people and they were so thankful and then the person who even made me make the decision refused the gift in a very rude manner. I lost my cool and went to report her to the pastorate. It escalated and she was reprimanded. A few minutes later I started feeling bad that I could have handled the situation better.

As I walked out of church in the evening still trying to justify my actions, the Holy Spirit said to me calm down and behave myself that there's nothing the lady did that we don't do to God on a daily basis. We think we deserve the houses, children, job etc and when we don't get them, we get upset with Him. He doesn't owe us anything, all He wants us to do is do our part of the bargain and He will award us based on His timing.

All na pride o, her getting upset that she deserved an award, me getting upset that she rejected the gift. Lord help me o.
