Who is God to you?

 

As I said last time I heard of a little girl who wrote to God.

She wrote:

Dear Lord,

My Sunday school teachers have being teaching me about all the good things you do but I want to ask you a question, who does all these when you are on vacation?

 
Well this kind of gingered me to ask the kids I met who God was. I wanted to capture their views and understanding on whom God is.



So here we go; and you are not permitted to laugh oh…*wink*

Kishi a 2 year old said God is my Father in heaven.

Tolu a 4 year old said God is Jesus.

Demi a 3 year old also said God is his father in heaven

Ife a 4 year old also said God is Jesus

Firekanmi a 3 year old said God is God

Morife a 5 year old said God is a powerful person that lives up the sky.

Eve an 8 year old said God is the one who created the Heavens and Earth and he is the son of God.

Emmanuela a 9year old said God is my creator, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and whenever you offend him, once you ask for forgiveness, he forgives you.

Olujide a 13 year old said God is our superior

Heritage a 13 year old said God is Every…as in every

Caleb a 13 year old says God is a supreme being

Temilomo a 16 year old said God is my heavenly father

Esther a 17 year old said God is everything to me.

Idowu a 12 year old said God is my helper

Ayomide a 12 years old, said God is my heavenly father

Heritage an 8 year old said he is our heavenly father

Well, that is it. One person that got my attention was Idowu the 12 year old who said God was His Helper. I went shopping with a friend of mine and he walked in to get something. So we asked him “who is God to you?”, without blinking, thinking or flinching he said with such confidence “God is my helper”.  




It's obvious that the older kids get the better their understanding of God is. Well consistent exposure from childhood will help them a great deal. It's up to me and you.

Father’s day is around the corner….see you then.

Yspot!

"Hello everyone! How did April treat you? Today marks Grace's final post with us. We're really going to miss her. Thank you, Grace, for consistently sharing timely and insightful posts over the past 12 months. May you reap the rewards of the seeds you've sown. Amen!" Grace, we eagerly anticipate your return to the blog. *** This is the 12th part series of these write ups and the last one on “Moments with Grace”. As I round up, I would like to remind us of the need to stay alert in the Spirit in this perverse generation. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 says: “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.“ ‭Nowadays, a lot of things try to get our attention thereby pulling us off our focus on our dear Saviour Jesus Christ. However we must always remember Jesus our promised Messiah came in the flesh, died and resurrected, presently seats at the right hand of the throne of God the Father Almighty and is soon coming back again to take us hom

Hello People, The first half of the year ends in few hours 💃 I look back and all I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! The first day of the year came with the promise of a travel gift from GOD. It was so clear, and I held onto it. Fast forward to the month of February, an opportunity presented itself but the timing was short and it looked impossible cos getting a visa in that short period seemed close to impossible. I almost let it go but I was encouraged by some friends to give it a try. As I mustered the strength to, I remembered what GOD had promised, so I equipped myself with it, booked an appointment and went to the embassy, the Wednesday before the due date for my trip. I walked to the counter when it was my turn to submit my documents. The lady I met, looked at me, and asked: “when are you to travel?” I replied “Sunday”. She stared at me and said “today is Wednesday, its not possible for you to travel on Sunday”. I looked at her and smiled, please go ahead. She said “are you su

SEE YOURSELF THROUGH HIS EYES…. …She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above Rubies or Pearls! “Why do you always walk with your head down?” I paused and considered. This was a question someone asked me some years ago… the only answer I could muster was a sheepish smile. The truth is, back then; I was suffering from what most people battle with. Those were the days I had relied heavily on my big sister in order to dress stylishly. To me, she could do no wrong; she was the “koko”. Now I’m not saying she wasn’t (she still is) all that, but I came to realize on time that I couldn’t run to my sister every time I had to baff up. I had to come to terms with the fact that I was my own person and I needed to develop my own style. It wasn’t instant success o and yes, I am still perfecting the art (it’s a process). I did make 1 or 2 flops (ok maybe 3….ok ok…more than 3), but this issue of style became effortless when I decided to try the “inside-out” approach…
