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!

You are my special gift from God.  One of the things God told me to learn from you is how to love. I keep learning everyday from your heart of gold, you are selfless and you go out of your way to do things for others. Thanks for been a plus factor in your generation, God will surely reward your labor of love.   Like I normally say, you are the best guy ever cos you love me passionately, you lavish me with gifts generously and you pray for me fervently. I couldn't have asked for more am sooo blessed. HAPPY BIRTHDAY my sweetness! Enjoy God's grace like never before in your business and for global platforms.

Some days ago, I was singing the song "I know my redeemer lives" by Nicole Mullen. As I sang the first line of the song; "who taught the sun where to stand in the morning..." the words hit me and it felt like I was hearing the words of the line for the first time. Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?                                                                                       Pause and think for some minutes… 💭 Did GOD sit the sun down after creating it to explain what is was made to do or that it was expected to rise in the east and set in the west?  Was there a tutor assigned th e responsibility of showing the sun how to rise, how to shine, or to tell the sun the perfect time to set?  or Did the sun require daily reminders to rise in the morning and give warmth and light to the world?  I doubt that..😶 So, if no one taught the sun where to stand in the morning, then how did the sun know where to stand?  Every appliance made or created is wir

We all watched as JDee tried to crawl on his knees some days back. Prior to this, he had been doing a great job crawling on his stomach, but the guy just can't wait to walk... Lol. So he keeps pushing himself.  Lessons: *You will always remain at the same spot doing the same things until you push yourself forward.  *Don't stop at the point or place where others think you should and neither should you stop because of factors like your age or your sex, or the fact that no one has ever done it before. You can be the first to break and set a new record. *Keep pushing yourself until you are all you can be.  *Don't let the barriers and mindsets stop you.  Eventually JDee did it... He moved one knee and we all went screaming.  Why did we scream?  *We saw the progress he had made even though, some would consider it so little, but try asking a mum who has been praying for her child to walk after so many years, she would consider that a great a
