Memoirs of a Christian

Good day guys and compliments of the season. So I've been off for a while but I just wanted to share for the last time this year, I don't know if I told you but I in a small way celebrated having over a year's worth of memoirs. I fully understand the impact of these memoirs even in my life, so here's an apology for not being faithful. If you're on my WhatsApp list you must have seen some of this, but I don't like long story on my status. However, I can be here and do how I like. My 2019 like some of you know has been something else, there were highs and lows, I don't know which was more. I dealt with slight depression, I laughed, I cried and I prayed. I also ticked off some plans that I accomplished. However, my take home lesson for 2020 is that; make meaningful friends, stop all these hi and bye friends, I have a feeling 2020 will be a serious year and God will be focusing on serious minded people. Please get serious minded and driven friends, the

Okay so I decided to put the notebook on my android to good use, its not like I just discovered it exists but the thing is the auto correct on this thing is absolutely abnormal. It just slows down my typing. I've been out for a while and yes you garrit I blame the devil lols, well I blame myself more. The devil has been invading my privacy for a while now and I've not gotten around to getting a restraining order against him, I mean his actions remind me of this Jonathan McReynolds song 'cycles'. It got me to realize something, its the strongest of us that get disturbed the most. I found out the devil doesn't like wasting energy on people that don't matter, so the next time that devil comes to trouble you, understand that you are important, you are way more than what you are, that should drive you. Now in my second paragraph above, I can't get a restraining order against the devil. The instruction is James 4:7 KJV Submit yourselves therefore to God. Re

Happy new week guys, I was just wondering what keeps me busy on the weekends that I don't go out. I'm gonna plan a get together soon, so watch this space. Anyways, my gist for today is something that has to do with one of Jesus' controversial statements. Fast rewind to Zacchaeus' confession, after Jesus came to his house and while they were supping (as Jesus loved to refer to it), Zacchaeus declared that half of his goods he will give to the poor and if he had collected anything unjustly, he will quadruple it back in giving. Now lets take a step backward to Luke 18 where the rich guy was asking how he would get to heaven and Jesus asked him to goan sell his possessions but my nigga just turned back sad, well because that  dude was really rich. Now Jesus made a statement that has raised a lot of controversies in this world we live in now. Jesus said it will be difficult for a rich man to make heaven and so many have ignorantly embraced poverty because they misunders

Happy new month guys, there are a lot of reasons why I'm just joyful today. After spending the better part of October worrying (a bad habit that I'm trying to shake off), November is really smiling at me. Okay, so this morning the devil had been trying to provoke me, sending different people to just offend me so I'll explode but I've been unusually calm (people that know me well can relate with why it's unusual). On getting out to work this morning, transport guys just started hiking prices and there was a scarcity, out of nowhere a tout just went to get me a vehicle at the normal price, I felt he wanted something from me but he didn't want anything (cos the belief is nothing comes free). Then I got to work and the day just kept getting better, very small testimonies to you but huge stuff to me. Now the above is not what I intend to blog about, but rather about something I strongly believe in. 2 Kings 13:18 New International Version Then he said, "ta

Alright, so I'm stuck again but not for long. Anyways, I feel like a whiz after yesterday's post because seriously I got to hang out with Isaac Newton and I also propounded a law. So hey! I'm beginning to think more on furthering my studies. Let's leave the sciences for now and move into my forte. My law today is that of the double entry in accounting which states "that for every debit entry there must be a corresponding credit entry and vice versa", okay lemme use that same line that Jesus said 'if someone slaps you show him the other cheek so he can balance the equation. However, the first slap that was given and the fact that you received it has already balanced the equation, so double entry might not too much agree with the words that Jesus spoke here, you see lemme speak English here, it means for every giving there must be a receiving and for every receiving there must be a giving. So we know it involves two accounts, that is, if you give me a

Hola amigos!  Como ha sido tu día? Yeah I'm trying to refresh my Spanish prowess, so bear with me please. So I'm no longer stuck on the movie probably because I realized yesterday that I was stuck on it. Moving on to better things. Today I want to talk about one of the laws of Isaac Newton (respect baba), and its the third one. I'm paraphrasing so science students go easy on me. It states that "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". I'm sure this man was not looking at it from the angle where Jesus said 'if your brother asks for your jacket, remove all your clothes and dash him and if he slaps you on one cheek, suggest he slap the other cheek so everything can be balanced'. (Twas something in those lines sha), anyways in my own area of discussion today I've propounded my own, laws of Icequeen which states that "in the aspect of giving, for every action there is a greater multiplied reaction". Lemme give you an ins

H i guys, happy new week. So I've been stuck on a movie (am I vain because of that?), which has taught me so much more than what I had learnt from a year of schooling and studying books. Seriously now I know a lot about medicine and criminal investigation. Well that's not what I came here to type about, today I'll be typing on something I brooded on in church (I have to confess I'm sometimes no focused). Genesis 22:2   Amplified Bible (AMP) God said, “Take now your son, your only son [of  [ a ] promise], whom you love, Isaac, and go to the region of  [ b ] Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” Okay so I know we all have a general idea of what this scenario above was about. It's around the fact that God was testing the obedience and faith of Abraham (yeah I get that one). But I implore you to view it from my perspective, the perspective of God moving Abraham away from home, remember he didn't info

I'm more than exposed to the truth of prosperity. I've discovered that when God blesses a man, nothing can stop him, well except the man himself. Not his location, status or background. Kind of reminds me of  Bro Jo, you know him na, the legendary dreamer that couldn't keep his mouth shut and relayed his dream to his enemies, who in turn sold him to slavery to Potiphar's house. The Bible recorded that even as a slave Bro Jo still prospered and everything he laid his hands upon prospered as well. Excuse me oh, but somethings are abinibi and others are ability, but for Bro Jo's case, his was Abinibi (now spiritual people camdan, when I say abinibi I mean as a result of Christ's rebirth in Him, not by ability or one + thing). God even blessed this guy to the point that even when that olosho (that Potiphar married) tried to steal his destiny and our Bro did the wise thing by japaaing (1 Thess 5:22) yet he landed in KiriKiri, even then my guy still prospered. As

I'm recalling one of my favorite posts ever today that might not be remembered in the history of memoirs. So I discovered something, did you know that God will not create anything again. Lemme explain, during the course of creation God thoughtfully created everything. God doesn't make mistakes, so all you need is already available to you, your own job is to utilize it. Come closer, God gave you brains. Don't ask God to make a way, the way is already there, its you that needs to work on it. I know you'll disagree but see I discovered that all the roads we see now were probably forests. Someone used initiative to clear it. I believe in the song "You've made a way" don't get me wrong, but also understand me. God said He will make your crooked ways straight. So it means God agrees there's a way, you come in when you realize the way is bushy, crooked or not thoroughfare and ask for His help to clear it. Of course Pastor says 'God will mak

Hi guys, so basically I've been having issues with the site which has derailed me from posting for a while, I hope that it is fully resolved and you can enjoy your blog experience. So I was reading through my Bible study, I missed some days because YouVersion kept having difficulty loading my Study Plan. Anyways, I'm catching up, however, I went through the whole Deuteronomy where Unku Moses was giving us his last will and testament and I got to Deut 28, I'm so conversant with this chapter of the Bible that I decided to breeze through it, well whilst I was doing that, I got an inclination to slow down and read it slowly with fresh eyes. It was like 'forget what you know about it and read it, study well'. Normally, in Bible study, questions arise and a lot arose in my head. God offered us rules and said to obey, now for every choice there are pros and cons. For you to decide on something the pros must always outweigh the cons. So Deut 28 highlights the pros and c

Hello guys, so I got so many personal comments on yesterday's posts (turns out most of my readers are shy or something). Wait I didn't say you should be pessimistic or that you should be planning for your death oh (although that's not a bad idea), I just meant understand that to die is inevitable and the only way you can escape it is if you are alive at the second coming of Christ and you get raptured (as a friend pointed out). I didn't also mean that I was gonna die soon, cos some people thought boya God has shown me my ojo iku. So today lets do some truth about living. A lot of us have said that living a righteous life isn't easy, it stifles you, it prevents your creativity,  I know what you mean. I mean remaining celibate whilst in a relationship (haba, body no be firewood), or enjoying some songs but being torn cos the artiste is not a gospel musician, I also understand that some of our Pastors are not making things better, I was discussing with a friend re

Hi guys, so what I'm gonna be speaking or typing about is something most of us don't usually think about. A popular musician once said in one of his songs that 'nobody wants to die but we all want to go to heaven'. As much as that is just a song, its also the truth, I've heard people ask questions like "what scares you the most?" and most times (I mean like 80%) reply with "death". Now, I'm always wondering, everything in this life isn't certain, like you can't guarantee anything anything, because everything is subject to change. However, join me to think on this, the only thing that doesn't change is the fact that death is coming for us all. I mean the physical death oh, before some people will start saying God forbid and be binding me upandan. Death is the most certain thing in our lives, its the only constant and here's what the Bible says about it: Ecclesiastes 7:4   The Message (MSG) Sages invest themselves in hurt a

I know I wrote a few days ago about not having a back-up plan. Now even in the midst of that, we all still need to have a back up plan. Like when you've prayed and fasted and the results are not forthcoming, you need a back-up plan, even after using your back-up which probably is praise and worship and it yields no answers then you need a fall back on plan. Yeah, I know I typed not having any other side whatever but sometimes the above takes a lot of time and waiting might be detrimental, so I have a suggestion for a suitable back-up plan which is when you've prayed and fasted and there are no results pray more, pray based on the Word, pray according to His will and when even praise isn't productive praise the more, praise with a seed, praise without expectation, praise because you dunno any other way. Oh wait! You were expecting me to give you the address of  one side babalawo shey? Well the only details I have are below: Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that

Happy new month, happy independence! I know it seems like there's nothing good about this country but always look at the upside, you're alive and free and no matter how bad things are God keeps helping you. So be grateful! In this spirit of optimism, my last week was a mumbo jumbo of emotions, I was just somehow cos a lotta things were hitting me hard but then I started the new month with optimism and then it seemed like good news began to chase me upandan. It got to a point I had to goan disturb one of my friends that I don't usually disturb, why? well its because he's my powerbank. It's only desperate times that I call for his help. So you need friends like that, friends that can help you stand in the Lord when you feel weak.  Not deviating, actually my powerbank didn't do much (to be sincere ion even think he prayed for me). What I'm sure of is that I prayed for myself and even though I was weak, I realized that I had no back-up plan. No side babalawo

Hi guys, how has been the day? I thought of getting home before posting this and the rain delayed me, so I apologize for the lateness. Once in a while, I wanna admit to some things. So today started off looking gloomy for me, I can't remember the last time I've had a headache for this long before. Sometimes I'm a bit frustrated, I try my best to bring content and yet you guys don't read it. Now my problem isn't that people aren't reading, my issue is, iono what I'm doing wrong, is it the content or just me? So I guess thats what is bothering me. Moving on, today has been somehow, there's been some gbas gbos but I'm still standing. I guess what I'm trying to share is that even in the midst of this storm, I can still see Jesus walking towards me. So its not like the devil isn't creative with us, its only that our Jesus is most creative. There are times when we are moved and shaken yet we need to stand firm and strong not because we don'

Hi guys, how's been the day? It's the weekend so we can all breath easily after all the pent up stress of the week. So I noticed that the youths of today or this present generation are more concerned about talks and contents about relationship and the likes. So those of us that are not called into the ministry of relationship our own market cannot sell abi? The whole reason why there are so much heartbreaks and relationship failures are because we are majoring in the minor and minoring in the major.  Anyways, today my content is on Chemistry, now I've sat down with some couples who have told me that their own school of thought is chemistry. I'm not talking about that course in school oh, this one is what one of my friend who is married now explained that you feel when you meet 'the one'. In her words, there's a CHEMICAL REACTION  when you meet 'the one' for the first time.  Another says, your antenna will sense it (I don't know what antenna t

Baes and boos gurifin oh, hope we've been having a good day. Today I'd like to share something close to my heart. That's respect and unity, the unity part will come tomorrow BGG. It's so upsetting when people misbehave towards someone that is a leader figure to them with the excuse that 'we are mates' These things happen in student fellowships and in churches but the former is rampant. Many a times this stuff gets to an extreme where we now influence others to do the same We believe 'the Pressy is in my class I'm even older than him so if he talks rubbish I will give him his size' Your own is to respect them, not hypocritically but in obedience to God. This isn't supposed to be, see the Bible says obey them who have the rule over you, don't let them account for you in sadness. Whatever he/she is, whether they are capable or qualified or not is not your business. Abeg leave matter for Matthias. Forget that you are mates, y

Hi guys I didn't post yesterday, iono why but I know I have a very valid reason in the works. So we are going into this relationship talk again. I've heard people talk on this choosing the right partner and God's will, there are many schools of thought that have their different arguments as to what they think. Some people are of the opinion that after God asked Adam why he ate the fruit and Broda Adam blamed it on God then God now washed His hands off choosing a partner for somebody. Hence, the  Proverbs 18:22  He who finds a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favor from the Lord. So that school of thought feels that the man should find the wife and then seek permission from God. Another school thinks that God's will is paramount, that you have to dream or see vision of you helping someone to fetch water from the well (note, it has to be from the well, no borehole). They feel you must hear from God (even if you've never heard from God in your life, you

I know this is really late but we go still say something whether the devil likes it or not. I was gonna continue on my opinion on relationship but let's still postpone it, let's do it small small. I'm recalling a post I know most of us don't remember was written but I think it can suffice now. There's something we have to do for some things to happen. There are some requests we must make. Abeg, shift lemme explain. See the daughters of Zelophehad ehn, no male child, remember that dude? And it was general knowledge that twas only male children that are entitled to inheritance in Israel at that time. However, these babes summoned up courage and asked for an inheritance. I love the way TLB puts Numbers 27, it says " and the Lord said, the daughters of Zelophehad are correct, they should have a share of their father's heritage". Those babes began a trend because they were bold, bold enough to ask for their right. What am I saying or typing 🤷🏽 exact

I skipped yesterday's post I'm aiming at a 5 times in a week posting or so, anyways, how are we enjoying the day? For some of us the rain welcomed us into a new day, and has been giving us chills till now. Moving on, lemme add my disclaimer, I'm not a relationship expert oh and it's not much about love. I'm thinking of the verse that will factor in but I've seen the pressure that people get into for marriage or future partners' sake, even though I'm not against finding your partner or having a list, I still think there are questions one needs to ask themselves. A friend once told me I wasn't getting any younger, and that got me thinking which led to my asking myself this question. Can I marry this version of myself? My answer didn't take more than a minute and guess what it's a No. While I revel in my awesomeness, I know how nasty I can get, asides that I know I'm not at the place in my relationship with God where I can be the strength

Hi guys, is it just me or the weather is very cool. Anyways, you guys didn't comment yesterday and it was supposed to conversational. As much as you read please comment, we are to lean from each other and not the other way around. Diving into today's topic,   Matthew 7:17-18   King James Version (KJV) 17  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. This could be a really sentimental topic but its been boggling my mind for a while. It's written clearly in the Bible how it's by fruits that we really know the tree, so then what's the problem with the seeds of our pastors? I've observed that about 70% of Pastors' seeds out of the total 100% end up rotten. Many of them are addicts (not of God oh), some are messing their lives and bodies up, most of them walk away from the faith that they were brought up in

Hi guys, it's been the longest time since I've been here. Do I still need to apologize? Okay, I'm sorry for leaving for such a long time, I've missed writing and you guys that read as well. Thanks for the devotion. So I chewed on the fact that my posts aren't all that conversational and I want to change that, starting now. Onto today's business, the verse is from: Genesis 30:22   New International Version (NIV)   Then God remembered Rachel;   he listened to her   and enabled her to conceive. T he book of Genesis is filled with verses like the one above, with it starting as "and God remembered....." Now I know God is all-knowing, He doesn't sleep or slumber, yet these verses always use the word 'remember' and we all know you can't remember something or someone unless you had at first forgotten the thing or one in  question. Does this mean that God forgets people? Or is it the English translation that uses the word, I'd like t

Hi guys, even I'm tired of this my inconsistency apologies, but since this is called a memoir I'll just simply explain some things which could fly as my indirect apology. Anyways, I'm still thinking of the verse that will factor in so it might come towards the end. These past few days have been really challenging and stressful for me, I've discovered a lot of my failings and weaknesses, so lemme go ahead to dissect them all. My first failing is my inability to balance things, hence, causing all my inconsistencies, okay the verse just crept up into my heart  now, so I'll post later. My life seems to be spiraling out of my control and that is unbalancing me, I used to be able to calculate my moves but now everything is unpredictable. Second, is my routined life, don't get me wrong, I'm an adept follower of being organised but it is eating into my daily life, it's gotten to the extent that even my Bible Study is routined, wait I don't think it can be

Hi guys, how are we all doing? I hope we've been having a smooth day. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. The foundation that God has laid stands sure irregardless of the attacks, to shake it and totally destroy it. The seal of the foundation is the fact that God knows those that are His. He's not deceived by our lip service or our tears and emotions expression during meetings. I repeat, He knows those that are His. So therefore if you are claiming affiliation with God you better run away from sin as in japa, totally avoid it and kill your self to live right.

Hi guys, so I was kinda shocked today but lemme reserve my comments. That reminds me, please click the link below to download Swad's new single "Look At Me" http://kingdomboiz.com/download-music-swad-look-at-me-supernatural-me/ . Thanks and God bless. 2 Peter 3:9 Amplified Bible (AMP) 9  The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. KJV says God is not slack concerning His promises as we count slackness. So lemme not focus on we wanting something from God, but lemme deviate to this point. That we've been hearing that Jesus is coming soon and some of us are claiming that they've been saying that since before we were born doesn't discredit the Truth that Jesus is coming.God doesn't delay, He has promised that us that Christ is coming to take us home and that He will d
