MERCIFUL YET JUST...

My older sister has a garden in abuja, and I got a stand there to sell chicken and chips. I was meant to have started sales there July of 2013, but being miss procrastination that I was, I didn't start immediately and my sister needed to fill the space so she got one Indian woman to take it. Somehow she left, she probably got another place and then I got my chance to go back. ( God of many chances).

Anyway my husband saw the opportunities in it and bought a shawarma machine and we started it. The sales were not excellent but it was decent, I had one girl doing chicken and chips, then a guy doing shawarma. The chicken and chips girl was effective until mr shawarma came. Then the rains started, fear of boko haram and sales declined. One day the Holy Spirit asked me my 5year plan for this business. Don't know why, In His time He will let me know why He asked me. I know it is a viable business and potential money spinner, but is that something He wants me to do?

Somehow I got quite involved in a lot of things and won't go to the garden as often as I used to. I got a bit discouraged at the decline as well. Then I realised that everyone else was still selling even though there was a decline. Infact one of the other vendors employed two more people so I knew something wasn't right. Eventually found out they were coming to work for 4 hours everyday, when I was in Lagos, they both went AWOL. I realised that I needed to take back what was mine.

I let the boy go, he was the bigger evil, he wasn't very unaffected by the business, he knew he would get paid whether or not he sold shawarma, so he never made any effort to increase productivity. He was getting rude to me and I asked security to see him out. After he left, my conscience kept reminding me of how I was also not as passionate at my last job. How I would not go out of my way to do anything extra for my bosses, how I would be upset when they made me work 5 mins more than my normal working hours. How sometimes I won't go to work if they are not in town. I wasn't the best employee. So why did I think I had the right to harass someone for doing what I had done month in month out for years? I understand their frustration with me now. I had the same attitude. I wish I could go back and re do my job now that I am a Christian and I understand that I should be diligent in all things. I have sent them a mail apologizing for my behaviour. I hope they forgive me.

Lord have mercy!

In other news, a madman nearly chased me today *phew*

COMMAND NOVEMBER!

Tee's 2cents is two months old today. I am grateful to the Holy Spirit who has somehow given me words to write. I have heard people say they look forward to posts, or that there were going through something, read something I wrote and they got inspired. I return Glory to God. A few criticism have come as well, and I honestly appreciate them so I don't get carried away but continue to rely on the One who sent me. This is my little corner of evangelism. And I am grateful for the platform to witness for my father.

I want to share a few prayers with y'all. Pastor O declared November the month of favour. Tap into it if you wanna.

Now let's pray!

Pattern of failure break this month in the name of Jesus.

Every agreement of darkness to lock me out of favour this month, scatter in Jesus name.

God of the 11th hour, appear in my life with favour.

My God and my Father catapult me from captivity into fruitful activity .

Rain of unmerited favour fall on my health,my marriage, my finances, my career, my business, my family ( fill as desired)

Everything I have lost from January till now, let November deliver it into my hands in Jesus name. 

Gates of November be lifted up to admit me into uncommon favour.

This power of unmerited favour restore to me all I've lost in the last months.

Pray for every day, hour, minute and second of November, cover it with the blood of Jesus.

Plug every loophole the enemy can try to pass.

This month of November May the mercies of God be with you, may men favour you. 

Matthew 20 : 1-16

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.

Xoxo
