I arrived home and walked into the house. Power was out, and the light from my phone wasn't sufficient, but I managed it and found my way around the house. I quickly fixed something for us to eat before Jane arrived home. She came just in time. I dished the food, and while we waited for it to cool down a bit, Jane had just gotten some new items and decided to do a little fash par...(Fashion Parade). I watched, and we both laughed. *Friendship remains one of the best gifts GOD gave to man. Having a friend who sincerely laughs with you out of a pure heart is something to be grateful for. Back to the story... We decided to eat. Everyone had a spot where we sat to eat. So without looking, I moved down from the bed with my back to hit my spot and as I did, Jane shouted, and I moved back onto the bed and turned round to see what she had seen. I remained still for about 2 minutes speaking under my breathe over and over; "Lord have mercy". Pause.... Mercy is one attribute of GOD ...

I love seeing new roads sprouting out or being constructed, especially when it is being carved out from where I never expected or considered, or from a place I never thought possible.  Recently, I passed by an area, and I saw a new road being carved out from a place filled with trees. I smiled to myself as my mind drifted to the days ahead, and I could not help but think about the new roads you and I have no clue of, which GOD will be unveiling in and with time 👏 2021 is less by 30 days. Without mincing words, a lot has happened within the first month of the year. Some have crossed over to the other side, others have been born into this side of Heaven, some are dazed at the doors GOD has opened, others can’t seem to figure out what exactly GOD is up to, and so many would rather be in another part of the world rather than here in the green land😁. Not their fault though…this green land has lots of red, brown, and black patches 😏 😖 I do not know what these few days have been like ...

  We got back from Church and decided we were going to have pounded yam for lunch as usual. Courtesy of my mum, pounded yam had become the norm on Sunday afternoons. We got it ready, dished the food and served everyone. When my 5 year old nephew Dave, came for his, the following conversation ensued:   Dave: “But you people know I don’t like pounded yam”. After venting, he went back to seat by the TV. Everyone exchanged glances… Myself: “You don’t like pounded yam” I asked him, and then proceeded to ask his siblings and his mum. They all laughed. His mum sweet talked him to come and taste it. He eventually did, and as he continued eating, he turned to his mum, and said ‘not that bad’… we all had our share of laughter.   Just like Dave, I would say 2020 was not that bad either I am indeed grateful to GOD for keeping me, you, my friends and family Not everything went as planned or desired However, GOD did show Himself dependable, able and strong For mer...

  I looked at the phone as it kept opening different pages and apps all by itself😲 It wasn’t working as it was meant to But running its own course and doing as it wanted to I kept looking at it And my mind drifted to the fact that I might have acted like the phone was doing with GOD on different occasions We all know GOD already has our lives planned out but sometimes we just prefer to head in the opposite direction I imagined GOD patiently looking at us and saying, “no, not that way my child”💓 And then keeps nudging at our hearts gently until we get the message, pause and then retrace our steps. 2020 has been the most eventful year😩 With so many unprecedented happenings that kept us in constant reminder that we were at the mercy of GOD 2021 will be here in less than 32 days’ time😍 A time out with oneself is needed A time to reflect, strategize and to plan towards the coming year And most importantly, a time to hear from GOD so we won’t be opening pages,...

Oh GOD, you are a faithful GOD, a nd it's because of your faithfulness that we still exist as a nation🙌. You are merciful, and for this major reason Nigeria hasn't been consumed or swallowed up by the intrigues of the foolish who claim to be wise. You are just and true, the faithful judge is who you are called  👊 .  This gives us so much hope because we see you judging and weighing our leaders on the scale.  You are the consuming fire💥 We demand you consume and destroy those who have been long overdue for destruction in our country Nigeria. Let them have a taste of your wrath and anger😡 You are known to make all things new. Today, we ask that as we believe and have declared, you will cleanse Nigeria of the stench of corruption, bad governance and the recent batch of comedians😏 Lord, make Nigeria new for us and the future generations🙏 Flood her streets with peace and joy Bring an end to the reign of the foolish, greedy and clueless Drain out the voices of advisers wh...

Few days ago, as we prepared to sleep, I asked my niece to pray and she began and ended with; Dara: "GOD please do not allow us to wake up dead"... I didn't know when I began to laugh. She sat up wondering what her innocent self had done. As I drifted to sleep, those words lingered on. I mused on it and somehow I realized her simple prayer was not only sincere but true. We hear of people who sleep, and do not wake up on this side. The fact is that these people actually do wake up elsewhere, and not here where we are. So the truth remains that they wake up dead. Sad but true. Just a reminder that we have just this one life, and it is best we live it well and wisely. Yspot!

  No matter how well a house is built, even with a solid foundation, well erected pillars, and lovely roofing, you will still find wall geckos and spiders in the house. When you finally move in to possess and occupy your home, guess who else comes creeping in, and wants access to the comfort of your home...you guessed right, the never- relenting roach, most-annoying mosquitoes and the greedy mouse😀. Because of the diseases associated with these animals, we do all we can to get them out. We spray insecticides, use certain chemicals when we find just one of them, or just in the bid to keep them out because we understand the gravity of what might happen if we do not take these necessary measures. I remember asking GOD why we had to keep praying against the attacks of the devil, because after praying, it seems he goes but soon comes back. He dropped the thought about the house-pests and animals above. We never get tired of using insecticides or doing all we can to keep them out. We cl...
