    Everyone carries a presence What is in you can be discerned when people come in contact with you A running tap will give the type of water flowing through its pipe; clean or dirty A sponge soaked in water, will be full of water and be dripping out water A slice of bread soaked in tea, will give you what? 😂 What you have soaked yourself in, is what you will give out What you exhale reveals what you are inhaling or taking in You have to be loaded, but not just with anything Because you are far too precious                                         What you have soaked yourself in, is what you will give out Some years back, I and few others attended an event at a Baptist Church close to the house In the course of the service, the choir began to sing this song:   “Osuba re re o, Oba ta o ri, ta n ri se owo re, osuba re re o” (You a...

  Over the past few days, I have had the overwhelming need to keep Thanking GOD It kind of made me remember my dad One of the things you take away after talking with dad was the need to be thankful Dad used to say; Don’t grumble Don’t murmur Don’t complain But always be thankful   I don’t have much to say in this post actually😃 I just decided to remind someone out there to count their blessings and be thankful And no matter what….let the atmosphere around you remain a joyful and thanks-filled one Yspot!  

I recall the borehole known as the far borehole  back at my secondary school. It was called the far borehole  because it was located a good distance away from the hostel. The first time I went to the borehole, it felt like I was traveling. But the gravity of the distance hit me when I was heading back with a bucket-full of water. Why? Majorly because when I was heading to the boarding house, my mum got me a unique bucket. It was a really larggggge bucket…and very heavy. So heading back to the hostel with the bucket-full of water was war😂😂😂. But the good thing about boarding houses is that your bucket is never yours, so it saved my head😂 One other annoying thing about the borehole was the everlasting queue. You had to queue and wait until the seniors were done getting water before you could get yours. The waiting was endless sometimes, and the sun didn’t help either. However, the good part is that eventually you get clean drinking water. Only on few occasions do I recall ...

You are special You are amazing You are wonderfully made GOD invested so much in you; so that you can wow your world as you showcase His beauty, wisdom, and glory.   There is nothing wrong with you!  Even when you can’t do somethings as swiftly as others can. If you observe, you’ll realize that you have your own strengths too.  Not everyone can do the things you  do, so stop belittling yourself. While you should decide to learn and improve yourself in other areas where you seem less talented, don’t lose focus of what you are good at Like the lion, be the King of your jungle💪   There is nothing wrong with you when you don’t have the things that others have Give it time!💣 Everyone’s timing is different And remember to enjoy the good in the present😀   Lastly, never let the devil get you to the point where you doubt GOD’s faithfulness. The fact that you have the ability to ponder on GOD's blessings is still a testament to His faithfulness. It takes a sound m...

  It was a really busy day, I had been working all morning and well into the afternoon and I really needed a break. Just as I was pondering how to cool off a bit to rest and refresh my mind, a colleague of mine, who we will call lady KAS, came by and stated she was heading out. I asked her where she was heading to, and if it wasn’t too far, so that I could go with her. Gladly, it was just 15 minutes away. We got into the car and got gisting. As we drove out, I noticed the seat belt alarm was blaring; meaning someone wasn’t using her seat belt. I turned to her and said, ‘You need to wear your seat belt’. She looked at me puzzled, so I stressed it again, ‘Wear your seat belt!’.  She smiled and said, ‘I’m wearing my seat belt’. Then I looked and saw that I was the guilty one!... and together we burst out laughing. I thought about, and quoted the verse that says, take off the log in your eyes before removing the speck in your neighbor’s eyes. My GOD!, it’s so easy to point an accu...

  At the office, we got into a conversation with my friends about how lady M had the qualities that made her a true Nigerian because she comes from the northern part of Nigeria, got married to someone from the East, and is slightly fluent in the major Western language. We jokingly asked what tribe her son will get married to, and she said he will most likely get married to a Canadian woman. We burst into laughter 😂 and told her she had her son's life all planned out already. And I heard the small gentle voice say: If a mother has her son's future and life planned, how much more me your GOD? It hit me... 😭 It is not that I do not know that GOD has it all perfectly planned out but sometimes we look around, and you be wondering and asking "Where is my capable daddy?"😟 Well, I think this is because we want to know all that GOD has planned for us all at once. However, GOD doesn't work that way. He unveils it as at when He deems fit. Sometimes this happens gradually...

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 ...
