365 days already? Wow! It is and I'm glad we made it But not without GOD's help It has been.... 365 days of His amazing love 365 days of His extravagant grace 365 days of His unending mercies 365 days of His unfailing help 365 days of His wonderful blessings 365 days of His unspeakable joy 365 days of His peace that surpasses human understanding 365 days of His timely guidance and protection  365 days of His divine provisions  365 days of His abiding presence GOD was there all the way Through the ups and downs The laughter and cries The joys and sadness The births and deaths It was 365 days yeah, but I can tell if GOD were to sum up all the moments we worried, the moments we complained, the moments we nearly gave up, the moments we cried and were uncertain; and translate those moments into days, I'm sure it will exceed 365 in multiples of 5....lol...just kidding. It has been 365 days of awesomeness GOD  has indeed been faithful!

I went visiting at the hospital and I met this little boy named Blossom. Blossom was on admission but it was obvious he was not moved by his current situation. He was so full of life and kept singing with total abandonment not minding the other patients in the ward. In fact he brought smiles to their faces. He got me thinking..... Blossom was in the hospital but he didn't let the hospital determine his mood. Life will always throw stones at you but you've got to keep moving. As my Pastor will say, people only throw stones at trees with fruits. Don't allow anthing to hold you back or keep you down. Step on those stones with your head held high up . Even plants do all they can to break out of the soil.  You've got so much within you, don't let go and don't give up. That situation will only bring out the best in you. Nothing will last forever, most items have an expiry date, so does that situation.  Don't give up...do all you can to STAND! Yspo

I'm glad to be a part of the family that I found myself in *wink* They didn't choose me neither did I choose them The perfect Father placed me in the perfect family For that I take a bow to you Lord! I grew amongst the best 7 Dad, mum, 2 amazing big sisters and 3 wonderful big brothers They laid a foundation that I couldn't help but build on I look back today and I'm led to thank you all so very much*smiles* For choosing and sticking with GOD before I arrived For creating an atmosphere of love that I could thrive in For imbibing the best of values that stands people out For showing and teaching me the right paths to take For the culture of reading that I observed as I grew  For the corrections and discipline For not sparing the rod *lol* For allowing me be myself For coping with the annoying side of me For laughing at me and laughing with me  For cheering me on when the need arose For teaching me to pray For lending a helping hand alwa

Scarcely do my people shower me with love But they spend my resources thoughtlessly Doing things that bring shame to my name And killing my innocent children That is why I pray for saviours Men and women with discretion, integrity and wisdom Individuals who know right from wrong People with unclouded judgment And I dream of a time when my people will live as one When my land will indeed be green and white Filled with dignity, strength and productivity Where you will find unity and faith; peace and progress One day soon, I believe things will be so different No longer will I be termed Ichabod I see my citizens making me proud Unfolding the beauty their land possesses Making me an attraction to other nations And then I shall be termed as a land where  nothing is missing and nothing is lacking. AMEN! LONG LIVE THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA! HAPPY INDEPENCE ALL! yspot!

No man has control of his life There is a time when everything will end The death of loved ones is a proof to that fact Be interested in the souls and spirits of your loved ones Because it is important they spend eternity at the right location Judgment is real! Grace and mercy ceases when life ends So, quit acting dumb before sinners Stop applauding their wrong doings Speak up in faith Push and persuade them to change with wisdom  Don't waste the grace of GOD upon your life Carry the presence with you wherever you go Quit wondering what you will say The sermon is not yours You are only a vessel All GOD needs is your willingness Sow a seed for souls to be won Pray for people to become a part of the kingdom daily Reach out to them as often as you can Be sensitive enough to know the time to make a move Let your character and lifestyle attract people to the kingdom You can't force them to listen But you can get their attention Come up with ideas Ide

Certain times in life It seems and feels like GOD has hidden Himself b ut  nay, nah and no; the unseen GOD can never walk out on you You are the apple of His eyes You are engraved in His palms He bears on His body scars Scars that indicates His love for you Tough as it may seem Hard as it may appear Cheer up Keep smiling Laugh as hard as you can through it all Push as hard and as far as you can Go the distance with Yaweh And you will be so glad you did Cos weeping endures only for a night Joy is just along the way The devil goes crazy when you hold on to GOD no matter what He gets mesmerized when you fail to give up on GOD Do all you can to focus on the Word so your faith can be stretched Take your place in service Position yourself in prayers Bow in adoration And throw those hands carelessly and ceaselessly in worship Keep reminding yourself that your very present help will never forget  you He may have many dear children But He will never forget you An

What are you waiting for? Quit the delay Take that step and make that one move that will change you, affect me, impact thousands and probably change the World Who are you waiting for? Quit the people-dependence mentality Don't put your life on stand still waiting for help Get up and be the helping hand someone needs   The clock will always keep ticking The calendar keeps counting down Within minutes a second becomes an hour In days, weeks make a year, even a Leap year In truth, there will never be enough time You have time at your disposal So why not maximize the available Use it to your advantage Use it to make a difference How you use and maximize time gives the executive summary of the chapters of the book called "Your Life-Time!" Don't put till  tomorrow what you can do today Remember time waits for no man Make every second of your life-time count And be intentional about it Yspot!

No one knows your future better than GOD And it is written in His Word That your future is so glorious The thought of it will leave you hilarious So get serious Your future is too bright Don't allow anyone dim your light You are destined to rise like a star Not to hide beneath a jar To keep shining Never dimming And Never waning You are to glow in the dark In order to restore back Strength to those who are lost No matter the cost To change their story All for GOD's glory The devil will try to get you confused That's a job he's used to All you need to do is to remind him that your future is secured In the same hands through which he was created Even when things look hazy Get prayer-crazy Till the devil gets dizzy Your victory is assured Your future is secured Keep shining the light Let it be ever so bright Until your race on earth is finished And your duty completed And when the trumpet sounds Let your Father be proud That He se

GOD is so amazing No one can totally figure Him out And no man is wise enough to tell Him what to do I marvel at the wonder of His ways, His works and His timings I'm awed at His sovereignty The fact that He stands in my past and in my today and still stands in my tomorrow leaves me lost for words He sees my past, glares into the future and realigns me to the right path in the present What a MIGHTY GOD I serve! What an AWESOME GOD He is... Thank you for adding another year to my years Thank you for keeping me this far Thank you for standing me out Thank you for setting me apart Thank you for loving me And thank you for creating me I wouldn't be here today if you hadn't For this new year and so many others... I have chosen to give you praise and honor ALL my days! ...And to my Father, Pastor, Mentor, Shepherd and so much more Rev. Gbeminiy Eboda I celebrate you today and always You have a been a HUGE BLESSING I'm forever grateful t

Where am I? Where am I headed? Am I there yet? How do I get there? How do I know I have gotten there? What am I supposed to do when I get there? What next after I have gotten there? I love questions Why?  Because when you ask the "right" questions, you get the answers you need. Not only do you learn from asking questions but it reduces any form of confusion and points you in the right direction. We ask our siblings, friends, parents, mentors and Pastors questions in order to get clarifications, light and understanding.  A good teacher always ask questions to be sure the student understood what was taught. .....I must pause to say this.... My brother made me realize the importance of asking questions when I was much younger. Whenever I encountered a tough question or statement or situation, he would say... talk to yourself -ask yourself questions in order to get the answer you need. Sounded confusing at first but I tried it and I must say it helped shape

Your dreams are the seeds of your future Who you share them with, matters a great deal We plant seeds in certain soils because not all soils will make them flourish Same with your dreams They either come alive when shared with like minds Or down sized or termed impossible with shallow minds Share your dreams with people who listen and you can see the sparkle and shine in their eyes Share your dreams with people whose suggestions help to build your dreams Share your dreams with people who broaden your view to see how far your dreams can go Share your dreams with people who won't rest until your dreams materialize Share your dreams with people who keep you fired up, shedding light and sharing ideas that points you in the right direction Like seeds your dreams are powerful because within them lies the power to bear results that can replicate themselves Share those dreams with the right people But only after you have dined with GOD over them And m

Yaaaaaaaaaayy………I finally did write a book! I am as surprised as you are too….smiles. I write but usually my writings are inspirational and educative. I never saw myself writing a fiction story until recently and I must say I think I did a great job….laughing. The book is titled FEGA! The synopsis will be added below this article. Well, I heard about the "write to done" contest and started to think up a story. At this point I need to pause and give kudos to all writers in general. Wow... it is not easy to come up with a story, at all. I salute all the writers out there. Many times I would type, erase, type again and erase because I didn’t know what to write next or how to progress with the story but I finally did. ******** Someone asked me why Fega? I chose that name because I wanted a unique Naija name. Last Sunday, I was led to ask for the meaning of the name and I was amazed. You know, after Tosin’s burial, the fact that she left her new born baby behin

Children are so amazing and so question-loving Sometimes they ask you questions that leaves you stuck You just stay put wondering how to answer them Let me give some scenarios Scene 1 Mummy and Hilda Hilda: Mummy why is daddy short? Mummy: God made him that way Hilda: Why did GOD make him that way? Mummy pauses and tries to think of an appropriate answer but as you know, Hilda will definitely have another "why" question waiting except mummy gives her an "I don't know" answer and carries on with what she was doing. Scene 2 Judith: Mummy where is GOD Mummy: Up in the sky, in Heaven Judith: Mummy, how did He get there? Mummy stares at the little creature in front of her as she tries to conjure the best answer possible. Scene 3 David: Mummy who wrote this book? Mummy: Jim Faraway David: Who is he? Mummy: He is a writer David: What does he write Mummy: Books my dear David: Where does he get the books from Now mummy is trying not t

Within the space of 2 weeks,  two of my dear friends went home to be with the Lord.  Both of them were same age and their cause of death was similar. **** *TOL (Thinking out loud) : "A coffin is usually just a coffin when you don't know who is in it.  But when a loved one lies inside, it ceases to be just a coffin, it becomes more than that". **** This hit me but I chose not to mourn like the heathens will do.  Confident in GOD that I would see them again and  acknowledging the fact that there is no failure with or in GOD. I'm eternally grateful our paths crossed I'm thankful for the moments we shared Although it's sad you departed so soon I look back with gratitude for the major and strategic roles you played in my life. **** * TOL: "Everyone GOD has placed in your life is there to fulfill a purpose. They are like bridges that makes it easy to network through life." "They might hurt you, get on your nerves sometimes and be

Good day peeps! I'm sure you are all doing great. So...I read the articles of Leke Alder& Min. Nathaniel Bassey on the issue of how wrong or how right it is to have a non-gospel artiste minister on a Church platform?  Great articles I must say.  Close your eyes and imagine that scenario in the days of old, right on the altar.........lol, scary yea! These might be the days of the New Covenant, the days of grace and GOD might seem extremely patient with us but He can't be mocked. Selah! So my MD-Sir Tush of life *winks* has this to say on that issue. Waaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiittttttttt.....*smiling* Before you read this......Chill, no rushing biko Whether you are of Sir Paul, Sir Apollos, Sir Leke, Sir Nathaniel or Sir Tush..... I beg you....don't read with a jaku-jaku mindset; read with an open mind. It is only with an open mind that we learn new things. You never can tell.... Give it up for the best MD ever!!!
