Memoirs of a Christian

Hello, how are you guys doing. Lemme quickly jump into this before I lose my train of thought  And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬ So I was relating a few days ago, that once you understand that God is on your side then many things will fall into place for you. I have a story to share, so some time last month, in one day, we had two fire outbreaks in my house, a wall socket that we’ve never used before just caught fire, the other one caught fire and started to burn the curtain in the process. Something funny happened, all of us at home just said “the devil has been defeated” and went about our business again. Excuse me, in case you don’t know, it was the realization that God was on Peter’s side that made him say “Lord if that is really you, bid me to come”, once you realize that God is performing a duty beyond God-ship and He is also performing the duty of Father. It’s like how a baby loosens up a

Hi guys, so I’ve been away for a few days but here I am. So a song that we’ve been singing since way back  🎶 I have a very big God oh, He’s always by my side 🎶  So I got the shocker of my life when this song took a whole new meaning to me recently, I’d like to share. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:31‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Basically, I heard the song in a new way, He’s always on my side. Then, it hit me that we need a mental shift in our lives, someone twitted that “it’s okay to be in a dark place, just invite Jesus into it”. A lot of mental illnesses have been springing up and pushing people to commit suicide, but it’s not like you can’t feel down, the point is to realize that God is on your side. See, even after all the things that happened to Job, he was so sure that God was on his side so he said “though He slay me, yet will I trust Him”, I dare to imagine that one of the songs King Jehoshaphat’s choir sang was  🎶 I have a very big

Hi guys, how have you been? Moving on, what I wanna share is from: Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. I once wrote a poem on ‘what made man mad’, I’m sure the title is a bit weird but I kinda found out recently what that’s about. I’ve always wondered why some people will be at gun point or with a machete at their necks and they’ll still be so confident to say “Jesus is Lord” just before their heads come off. You know a friend always says he asks God what those guys saw to do such a thing but ive discovered that it’s not what they saw only, it’s what they’ve felt, what they’ve heard, what they’ve said and what their hands have handled. It’s basic, pure, unexplainable love for God.  My eternal prayer remains that “I want to be so in love with God that people say I’m just mad”. The kinda madness Paul had to say what he said; Romans 8:35-36 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness,

Hello people of God, I’ve been meaning to ask for your prayers, I really need it now. Hope your day went fine? Lets proceed with our Bible highlight: Matthew 11:12 Amplified Bible (AMP) From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize].  This verse is very popular amongst Christians but I think only few really understand what it’s about, this is Jesus informing us about the nature of His Father’s City, the Kingdom of heaven is always violently assaulted, and the violent men take possession of it because they realize how precious it is and the risk involved in losing it. The devil openly oppresses Christians, he opposes us and tries to push us down but it’s really bad that the same Christians that are being violently assaulted are passive in their own retaliation. We allow the devil to push us this way and that way, because God is love some of us have deceived ourselves that when going to wa

Hi guys, how are you doing and how has been our day. Hmmm, I'm trying my best to be excited but God will take control. Anyways, my Bible verse for you today is; Luke 5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. The thing I know about Peter is He is a talkative  He is a professional fisherman.  So when Jesus told him to drop down the    net, he could have said "well Jesus, based on logistics and experience fishes don't come out during the day, maybe one or two unlucky ones but never a draught. Another thing is we've been at it since yesterday night and we haven't gotten anything so how your own take be?" I've imagined that Peter could have said all that but he simply acknowledged how fruitless his efforts had been because it was not rooted in the Word and then 'at thy Word I will let down the net'.  Many of us have exhibited efforts in futility

Hey sweethearts, how has been our day? I hope everything is going great?  It's amazing how God can reveal Himself to us in different ways and even at the same time. Have you ever been at a meeting and everyone is connected to heavens and are hearing different sounds from the same heaven. What can I say, it's heavenly!  You know one thing I've learnt is to always know God in in different ways when we commune: Genesis 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. Genesis 26:22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I Am that I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. Exodus 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob

Oh, hi guys thank God for protection . Anyways, today what is on ground for us is; Hosea 5:14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him. This is God speaking here, He said He will be as a lion, He will tear them and discard them and even ensure that no one will rescue them. I pray that we don't ever cause God to show us His Lion self before we can acquire common sense.  Many times we've taken this grace thing for granted. We believe that God is kind, gracious and merciful (well, all these are true) but you must also remember that God is a disciplined, no-nonsense God. He's principled. He cannot bend His principle for anyone, you think I'm lying?  Lemme show you; it was a standing rule that before an atonement for sin is done there must be a sacrifice, so when His beloved son decided to go He didn't change the rule all He did was to make an amendment.

Guys, it’s not like I’m reverting back to my old ways oh. I just got kinda stuck in my feelings (like how you get stuck on one level in candy crush for a week), so I had to organize myself, deal with what was holding me down and come back frosher. Anyways, one of the basic things I’m still learning about is forgiveness. I’ve seen a lot of believers hold on to some pretty painful and hurtful stuffs. I know that Jesus also has this to say; Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬ However, some schools of thought have successfully differentiated Forgiving and Forgetting, lemme explain, some say you can forgive but you won’t forget. As in, that you forgive doesn’t mean that you don’t remember that someone did something to you. Other schools marry these two together, they say it’s impossible to say you’ve forgiven without forgetting.  Now lemme go to my own subject matter, it is really just a question anyways co

So as per e be things, my eyes I’ve seen a lot in this Corona period. Many discouraging things but we dae kampe sha. “And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Many of us need to ask God for this again and again, no be say we no dae believe again oh, but the vision don dae tarry (the tarry don dae long), I remember one time I also felt this way, I was quick to quote the ‘hope deferred makes the heart sick’ verse. I was justifying the reason why my heart was sick and discouraged.  Now I’ve realized that all these things (koni meaning) are our own faults, we’re mounting pressure on ourselves, when we search deep on why we want our dreams to be fulfilled, it’s not just because of a pure reason, it’s because we wanna oppress or we’re being oppressed (this is because we want to be).  Funny thing is you can’t tension God, He makes all things beautiful in His own time (not your time). Just keep trus

Hello guys, I really contemplated posting anything today because yesterday I got a wave of bad news (when I say wave, I mean gbas gbos), it kind of weakened me but then not posting would make me a hypocrite (remember Lot’s wife?). I couldn’t have asked people to let go without first doing the same.  Anyways, so during the lockdown I got upset with someone that I respect very much, and it was because I felt entitled to some information or details that they didn’t want me privy of. I kept holding on to a grudge of my own making (it was happening all in my head). In fact I called the accused  🤣  and threw my allegations, later sha, I stopped holding the grudge cos there were more serious stuffs to ponder on in life.  “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:31‬ ‭KJV‬‬ I came across this verse, and I love the fact that the Bible didn’t add any specificities (so that I can add mine  😛 ). Do unto all men what you want them to do to you, without e

Buenos diaz guys, hope today went well. I’m finna try my best not to type long stuffs today, lemme just go straight to the point.  A lot us made plans this year, like I earlier said new year resolutions have been messed up. However, we need to understand that if you involved God in those resolutions then be sure that He’ll deliver them irregardless of what COVID has rolled into the year, you can still come out of 2020 ticking all those boxes. “Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭33:20‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Some of us even made decade resolutions (even though I didn’t make any), don’t fret over what you have no control over. It might not seem like it but God has seen farther than you and He knows exactly how to help you fulfill your plans no matter how humongous they are. As long as you can’t stop the sun from shining or the moon from coming out at night (I dunno what the m

Hola amigos, how’s the day going. During this pandemic I’d wanted to start a podcast. Understand me, I got so mad about a lot of things and I just wanted to rant. I didn’t sha, cos I’ve been trying to stop having complete conversations with myself, so I decided to keep calm. So during the lockdown, a lot of my friends started to post different degrees on courses they finished online, many went into online schooling and were getting certificates for it. In fact one of them started sent me a message about the certificates just to tension me, at first I was like ‘chai! Icequeen you’re lazy oh see people everywhere learning’. Knowing me well, you know I don’t like being tensioned, I prefer to do the tensioning. I almost succumbed and went into one of the sites, when it was time to register for the course, I backed out, I wasn’t interested and I just wanted to do it because a lot of people were doing it. I discovered that many of the people that were doing these courses did not retain any k

I’m back guys! Thanks for the feedback on the last post and thanks for reading. So lemme continue my COVID experiences, I’ve been deeply in love with some Bible verses during this period that is just brain bursting. Anyways, I was doing a bit of Bible study when I saw these three words and it just popped at me, I think it yelled at me.  “Remember Lot's wife.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭17:32‬ ‭KJV‬‬ At first it boggled my mind that just those three words formed a verse, as in understand my worry; Boda Luke like story gan oh, so there must have been something about those three words that stood out for him. A lot of us are living like Lot’s wife (I wish we knew her name), we are holding on desperately to the things of yesterday. I fell into this category, I was beating myself up that I wasn’t consistent with dropping blog posts. I would wander into the blog and read some posts and feel pity for myself, I thought I had lost my wonder, but someone told me that life was in phases, a time to write and a t

Hi guys, 👋. Wow! It’s been ages since I’ve been here last and I must admit that laziness and busy-ness were the motivating factors. Just thought to do this right now, like a letter to all of us, about the pandemic that overtook the world and shook the strongest of us ( I mean the whole world now). A lot has happened during the COVID period that I can’t begin to explain. One of it is; man was forced to isolate from each other. I mean the very purpose to which we were created was avoided like a plague. Money failed us, doctors failed us, religion failed us but God stood for us. I know some people might be like I’ve come again with my idiosyncrasies, just chill. No church has been able to hold services for more than a month now, so we’ve actually had time to know God for ourselves and not by what the Pastor says, a lot of people’s faith will be shook oh, no Pastor to quickly  call to coman settle fight. Anyways, I’m not planning on going into that, like I said a lot has happened and like

So hi guys, I’m doing a birthday special, a few days to today I couldn’t get myself to be excited about it, even now I’m not excited but anyways we thank the Lord (don’t get me wrong oh, I’m grateful to God for a new year). Anyways, I have a special verse for today: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭KJV So if you read my last post, you’ll understand what I’m about to type.    Recently my head has been telling me to be worried but my mind has just been peaceful and that’s one answer to my prayers for this year, I begged God to help me get over my worry attitude and He has helped me with it. So instead of worry, I’ve trusted God wholly and guess what He’s surprised me, I started today with zero expectations and here we are, God is proving Himself all over again (sometimes I dunno why He bothers, I’m convinced beyond reasonable and unreasonable doubt).

Oh hi guys, been a long time since the last post, anyways let’s make today count. So what I’m gonna be posting today is a bit sentimental, some people have had different opinions and arguments have been raised however, my belief remains and here it is. So prior to the new year, I had been ruminating on something that I do every year without fail, I do it because I have understanding and feigning ignorance in matters like that is pure disrespect to God; “Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭22:29‬ ‭KJV‬‬ I say ruminating up there because seriously I didn’t want to pay it, I considered my financial situation and I was like I can’t afford to make this move and God understands why (I guess that’s what it always comes to, taking God for granted cos we know He’s merciful and slow to anger, wehdun oh).  Also I spoke about having the right friends oh, so I was jejely

Happy New Year fellaz, it's my prayer that this year will be plum and the decade will be mega for us all. Amen. Okay so I remember saying (did I say or I type) on Tuesday that I was going to send out an appraisal for my friends to analyse and seriously I've been laughing because most of them that have responded are not taking me seriously. Anyways, moving forward, lemme reiterate this year is gonna be lit. I have a feeling this is the beginning of the rest of our lives. So, I just wanna stay on love this year. The thing is I feel I did less of love last year, I mean I wasn't selfish but I dwelt more on every other thing than the whole reason for our existence. Leviticus 19:18 KJV Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord . A lot of us beat ourselves up last year, we blamed ourselves for a lot of stuff, we couldn't move past our mistakes and because of the hate we ga
