Memoirs of a Christian

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 anyway...

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 ...

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...

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 t...

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 ...
