Broken Car II

Remember, I ended with how I love being the unrepaired car? It has been two years, and I am still the unrepaired car— The ungrateful car that keeps its owner sad and worried. But regardless of my attitude, He still wants to be seen with me. Unworthy as I am, I would rather have my owner trade me in. But I don’t want to leave; I’m just not putting in the effort. And so my owner keeps being patient with…

Broken Car

I am like the unrepaired car, You know the one that manages to get around town? It looks clean on the outside, but the inside is in bad shape. You can’t truly understand what it’s like until you’re inside it. I am like the unrepaired car. Every time I encounter a pothole, I am afraid— Afraid that I might have to stop in the middle of the road, And everyone will stare, feel pity, or curse. It’s all shameful. I…

Plan B

After two decades of living life smoothly, I realized that Plan B was a thing. God had a way of answering my prayers just in time, preventing me from considering other options. My 20th birthday began with a Plan B: NYSC or a Master’s degree? Naturally, I tried both at the same time, unconsciously making a choice. Afterwards, it became a matter of choosing the lesser evil or the greater good. Choosing the lesser evil has always been a choice…

Survivor

Days First were the days that were part of me; There were days when I didn’t feel alone. There were days when all I could feel was the warmth of the Holy Spirit. There were days when all I wanted to do was pray. There were days when worship was my language. There were days when all I wanted to do was allow God to take control. Those were the days I felt hopeful.   Moments Then came the moments…

If I need to wait then I’ll wait

One major skill I learnt in 2023 is the art of waiting. I started 2023 on a very sad note.  I can remember my prayer points of 2022 crossover service like the back of my palm. Most of my prayer topics had nothing to do with me personally other than a request/ prayer of thanksgiving because everything good was just happening to me right about the same time and in the same moment. My list was filled with requests for…

Amen

Romans chapter 8 and verse 18 says ‘For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us’   Listen I asked myself how did He do it Made such a sacrifice And the ones that He loved Wanted Him crucified And He knew that His friends would betray Him And He knew that His blood would be shed He could have brought someone else in His place…

Faith Over Fear

People often focus too much on where they’ve been. Where they are from, the manner in which they grew up. The poor choices they’ve made, and the setbacks that they’ve experienced. But life isn’t about where you’ve been, it’s about where you’re going. The person I was isn’t the person I am, nor is it the person that I hope to become. You see, God wants your attention to be focused on the present. He wants you to look straight…

God as my Peace

In the book of Ephesians, the apostle Paul writes, “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” (Ephesians 4:29) This verse is a powerful reminder of the importance of the words we speak, and how they can either build up or tear down those around us. But it also speaks to a deeper truth: that the source…

By His Stripes I’m Healed

Twenty-One Days to Discover That God Cures “In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar, and the message was true and one of great conflict. And he understood the message and had understanding of the vision. In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no tasty food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all until three whole…
