TONGUES OR WHAT?

There was a time I went to a mid week service in believers love world in Kano and those people broke into a beautiful language, I thought they were weird (coming from a catholic background, my grandpa was the village cathecist in ughelli).I liked the sound of it but I thought it is only for Chris Oyakhilome's members. ( maybe na dialect for edo state) 

Fast forward nearly a decade, I gave my life to Christ and found it was a spiritual language. I had this friend Mariam who spoke in tongues like a militant, I would secretly envy her, then one day she held my hand, said a prayer, told me to just open my mouth and it will flow, (I didn't believe her), she started speaking but nothing came out of my mouth. I almost felt like a fraud, that had not really received Christ. Then the desire built up, I don't think I've ever desired anything like I desired to speak in other tongues after that experience.

My blackberry torch nearly crashed from my constant googling of "how to speak in tongues". I read about it tire. Infact one article even wrote a few words and said it should be repeated,I heard you will feel like you are talking gibberish, I heard it can be learned. Then I came across the article that said it is a gift and also a sign that you have been filled with the spirit, and you need to desire it. So I prayed about it and one day at a night vigil, it just came bursting out of my soul, the most beautiful sound ever to come through my lips, I didn't feel like it was gibberish, I felt JOY!!! It was on the 23rd of February 2012. After that, grace before my meal sef was said in tongues. Of course the tongues don mature now. 

I was posing that im doing 30 mins stretch, then prophet wole said he had done 10 hours!!! AH! No wonder he is a prophet. ( he celebrated 24yrs of speaking in tongues) 

I've found that when I speak in tongues for a while (30 minutes which I am trying to upgrade by the way) I get a few insight. I've been privileged to see visions, scriptures given to me, or a person / matter to intercede for. 

The thing no be here o. It edifies you (charges your spirit), keeps the devil out of your conversation with Papa, helps you pray the will of the Father. You want to? Desire it and receive it. After all, all good and perfect gifts come from God.

Prophet wole told me about a book by Kenneth Hagin : TONGUES : BEYOND THE UPPER ROOM. it has opened my eyes further. Now I want to write a song in tongues! *bbmstraightface*

Jesus is Gods gift to the world,the Holy Spirit is Gods gift to His children (believers).  Abeg rebosheke away.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WITH HEAVY ANOINTING

Me and mike Aremu *dancing* so what I am famzing!

Pastor o and the other pastors at her celebration.

On the 30th day of March 2011, I began to cry uncontrollably about nothing in particular. Nothing tasted good, nothing felt right but I could not place my finger on the wahala. So I locked myself at home for like 4days crying for no reason. Then on the 2nd of April,I thought to call my friend kejie and told her, when she asked the reason I was crying, I burst into fresh tears and told her I don't know, then she reminded me how she had been inviting me for a women's fellowship, she told me to call the lady in charge, I had resisted badly before then. But this time, It felt like she put something in her mouth to speak to me o. That's how I dialed the number, as soon as I heard hello, I started a new set of wailing and then the most soothing voice I've ever heard started singing ' Oba n'to Seun ti enikan o le se, oruko re it iyin to'

And then she asked " can you come to my house?" And I quickly ran there, met the person with the voice and her smile made me relax further. We spoke, then she invited me for fellowship the following Tuesday 5th April 2011 and I surrendered my life to Jesus.

She has since been mentoring and teaching me, making sure I remain on the right path. She is mother, friend, teacher, disciplinarian, loving yet strict, has an extra ordinary generous spirit,practical, down to earth, fashionable.  She made me realise that Christianity is not wearing sack cloth and being covered in Ashes, amazing woman. She will cry with you when the yawa gas, she will dance with you when the testimony comes. The one that even if she's going through her personal issues, you won't know because her infectious smile is ever on her face, and she will take on your own issues.

An end time soldier, a true worshipper, humble soul, she is the GCWWP battalion. With her ahead shakings no dey. Excellent spirit. Doesn't joke with the work of the master. Never gives up on any one, never writes anyone off, everyone is "sweetheart" to her.

Happy birthday my Pastor Opuaya Agha, my mother, my pastor, my mentor, my tour guide on earth, my teacher, the wind beneath my wings.

I love you tooooooooo much ma.

WANDERING EYES..

Counting down to leaving Lagos, Mixed feelings. I'm happy to be going back to base but I'd miss my family very much. I grew up here,got married out of here too. I am in my element here, this is home for me.

Anyway I was delighted to take a break from being my mama's caregiver for the last two weeks, we went for a dinner/fundraising event the church held. Had a good time (food and laughter) my niece fejiro has an amazing sense of humor and her brother victor the good boy turned gangster driver.

My sister was in organizing committee so she was busy. There was this adorable kid on the table, and the MC/ Comedian tho???

All that didn't stop my gifted eyes from noticing different things. I have this gift of understanding body language between a couple, I can tell if a couple love each other or not or are very good friends even if they are fighting! There was this couple opposite our table, the woman could not hide her resentment for her husband, it was all over their body language then I caught the look, it sealed my curiosity, chai that guy could have being buried in seconds if looks could kill. 

I'm sure that lady loved that man at a point, and he somehow took advantage of her and resentment has built up over time. I know this because e no dey hard woman to love man and God knew that it is easy for woman to love, and difficult for man that's why He said man LOVE thy own wife, woman SUBMIT to thy own Oga. 

I'm not saying men should cheat, but even if a man is cheating on his wife, he should help himself cover his tracks by loving his wife. Some married men hide their marital status just to get other girls, listen it makes you look foolish, weak and untrustworthy. If a girl is going to date you she will whether you are married or not. A man like that cannot command any respect, not even with the girls he's lying to.

There's no woman who gets her fair dose of love from her man that will go through her husbands phone or search his stuff. She will be satisfied, and even if you tell her he's cheating, she will never believe.  Respect your wife, show her off to the world, be proud of her, make her feel like she's a queen even if you feel she looks like miss piggy after all na you marry her. She will feel good and in turn respect you. Women thrive on attention, care, pet names, affection, emotions, praise  etc.

Most women want their husbands to be the husband among husbands, they want to hail their husbands, like pastor O is her husbands greatest fan, if she hail pastor Ike here ehn... But most women don't know if their husband don toast neighbour, dem fit start to hail am, na yimu go follow.

Thank God for Jesus o, many women have decided to leave this man matter for God. Our favorite line is "will husband take you to heaven?" No go enter hell because of marriage o, carrying bitterness and anger as a badge of  honour.

Like I always say, grace is super abundant. Ask for it and recieve it like rain.

My brother inlaw shows off his mrs to the world! He no dey fall my hand for that side.

My niece and nephew 

My niece, my sister (my future) and yours truly!

Ephesians 5:25- end

Hehehehehe 

Ok, now I think I am been misunderstood. I am NOT saying a man should cheat, must cheat or that all men cheat. I am saying that the ones who cheat should love their wives. Now the secret ingredient in this LOVING YOUR WIFE is that a man who genuinely LOVES his wife (as the bible says especially in Ephesians that says love your wife as you love your own body) will never cheat on his wife. So when they practice this love, they will gradually stop finding pleasure In other women. If you love a particular purple shoe, you would find yourself buying outfits that go with that shoe! 

TRANSITION BLUES..

Since becoming a Christian I have lost a few friends especially at the beginning, transiting from that crazy lifestyle I was living. it wasn't an intentional thing, it just so happened. Tega went cold turkey!!!

I was loving the peace I found, I didn't want to lose it. 

Some friends complained, some still kept coming, a few of them who went through the same thing later now understand me, but more of them got really offended. They thought I was forming "innocent God bless". 

One of them even said to me " na me hate Jesus", she just didn't get me. 

Maybe I could have handled it better, maybe I could have pulled them along, but I honestly was afraid of sinking again, could not afford to sink to that decadent life I was living, i so badly want to make heaven,so I just withdrew and stuck to people that helped my faith to get stronger.

I particularly miss one friend of mine, she somehow hasn't managed to forgive me, it tells in our conversations these days. I tried to reach out, I've apologized, I've explained myself but well....

Holy Spirit over to you.

This is a public apology to every friend that felt I wasn't fair by withdrawing like that. It was about me and my new found love, not about you. I miss you very much, I am more grounded in my love for God now. I am not asking you to just take me back o ( but if you do I'd be happy so I can drag you into this my romance) but I'd really want you to at least forgive me.

In other news, my mama is home!!! The worst is over. Somebody praise this God for me.

Romans 12:18

GIFTS OR FRUITS

This is my last night in this hospital, I am grateful to God my mama is gonna be discharged. My Father won *bbmdancingsmiley*.

I just realised how far God has brought us as a family, I am grateful. My mum was in hospital for a total of 16 days and her recovery is amazingly rapid. I hear of people who had stroke and stay in hospital for months, but God is faithful to us. He deserves my worship o hmm. 

How I even knew the woman is set to go home is how she started harassing me, at a point I nearly lost my patience then I remembered that I have to win this soul to Christ, I advised myself to just walk away because if I hala all the prayers all night and God answers my prayers but I get angry with her unnecessarily, she won't want my kind of Christianity. Naaaa, it is a deliberate matter.

Reminds me of a well known evangelist who was from a staunch Muslim home. It was a burden in his heart to win his family to Christ. His father was ill, He prayed and God did creative miracles but that didn't convert him even after his mum had converted. They harassed him, dissed him but he kept loving them, was patient with them, showed them kindness, love and never looked like the work was too much on him. That is what won his imam father to Christ. 

Happened to Benny Hinn as well. 

Even all who are abusing Muslims because of boko haram, that's not what Jesus would have done. He would have loved them to repentance. Christianity isn't about how many miracles you can do, it is the love that you received from the Father that you must share to others in order for them to know that God is love. 

Some people deliberately provoke you so that your "Christianity" can be rubbished. Show them that you spend time with Jesus and give them a "Jesus" reaction. I didn't say it was easy, but I know that if you raise your hands, He will help you fly.

IT IS YOUR REACTION TO A MATTER THAT MAKES IT A MATTER!

Proverbs 11:30

2 YEARS DON WAKA...

This time two years ago I don sign the dotted lines, was on my way to dance my life into marriage. It has been two years of looking at his throat and thinking of how my hands can easily go round, two years of banter, two years of wondering if we made the right choice, two years of friendship, two years of fighting, two years of trying to adjust to been compulsorily accountable to someone, two years of sacrifice, two years of selflessness. If I survived these two years, I can survive anything. All the talk, all the temptation but we are here. God has kept us. 

I pledge today to love you according Ephesians 5: 22 and 1st Corinthians 13. ( try love me the same way o)

Two years down, fifty years to go.

Happy anniversary to us ANGEL - PIP. Love u scatter. 

Thank you all for celebrating us, may God cause men to celebrate you.

My pastor O used our photo as DP too *dancing kokoma*
