Part 1

In one of his songs, Nathaniel Bassey described Zechariah 4:6 (Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit; saith the Lord) as thus; So many of us have tried to fight addiction in the flesh, you've tried to stop that habit, you've tried to get out of that relationship, you've tried to break through, you've tried will power BUT its not by power not by might but by my Sprit saith the Lord.
Hence the kick off of the series, (they don't follow each other in the traditional sense of series, think of it like American Horror Story Series)
Part 1: ADDICTION
Dictionary dot com defines it as the state of being enslaved to a habit, or practice or to something that is physiologically or physical habit-forming as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.
A couple of months back, my brother and I were arguing over 'habit' 'addiction' and 'obsession', which comes first?, which is difficult to break? and so much more. Can't remember who eventually won, but I think we concluded that first comes habit, then obsession then addiction.
I used to think it was only white people who battle with addiction, lol, probably I was focusing on addiction to drugs. But addiction is a very broad topic, (and I'm no expert).
Pondering on that, I believe as human beings we all have one addiction or the other, (not a 100% sure though, please dont abuse me yet, lol) I am addicted to my phone; like the definition said its cessation can cause a trauma; if something happens to my phone I can literally fall ill. I have a hard time letting go of phones, or even my laptop. When my laptop was bad I was very very sad, (emotionally and physically), though its fixed now, I get comments like 'you should get a new one though' but I'm like 'naah I'm good.'
At some point I began to be worried, because phones have expiry dates and if I was continually going to feel like this every time my phone gets bad then it is a problem. I thought this was a physically fight.. Haha.. Until I decided to invite God into my matter. I'm still a work in progress, but I have definitely gotten better.
Yours may not be phone addiction, it may be sex, alcohol, or even drugs, and kind of addiction sef, please invite God into the matter. OR it may not even be you that is going through this, perhaps someone you know, please share this with them.
God bless you.
With love, theInspiredCutiee 
More next Tuesday for Part 2.

I am usually all for honesty; I wrote this piece for one the blogs I feature in, but apparently it couldn’t fly because it didn’t centre on an African, (which is good, we got to celebrate Africa). ‘No worries', I said to myself, 'I wrote it, Emma Gonzalez inspires me, so, ama share it here'… While valentine’s festivities for the year was in the air, students of Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida were experiencing the most memorable days of their youthful lives; a fellow student of the above named school went on a rage and killed seventeen people. Seventeen lives were lost because one unstable person had his hands on a weapon of destruction. This event is not just a traumatic one for those involved, but more of an uproar; come on, its rational for anyone in this situation to be livid. Having seen clips of the incident, watched the town hall meeting aired by CNN, read tributes, speeches, and the ever trending hashtags #WeCallBS #NotAgain, it’s amazi...

Your Isaac

By
I always marvel at Abraham's faith. That man went through a lot. I ask myself if I'm capable of enduring one tenth of what he went through.. (Genesis 12 and 22) After waiting for years for a child, God eventually gave him one, and then God said he should sacrifice him.. Every time I read this passage (Genesis 22:2) I take a pause, I'm like 'hollup hollup, whatasay??'. I'm always like God please don't give me such a test oh; because I'll legit fail. 😖 Notice in Gensis 22:1; says 'After all this, God tested Abraham' (The Message). Its clearly says after all what Abraham went through God tested him, test is in past tense; meaning when Abraham was encountering such it wasn't a test for him. We read it now as a test; but for him it was life, real life! Not African Magic or Telemundo.. Lol. What's your Isaac I ask? It doesn't have to be your child.. Lol. It can be your time, your communion with God, or time with other belie...

Society and one of its ills

By
This post started off as a rant, but then I decided why just rant? Critic the ill, but also share lessons you’ve amassed overtime. Remember, this month is the month of purpose, why rant and not have a purpose? I usually say, ‘everyone has an opinion, all it takes to be swayed to the other side – is good argument. Daz all! I can start a movement on ‘School should be optional, because these days an individual can ‘’blow’’ without the four walls of a classroom’, yes I’ll have followers, but then TeamEducationForAll would rise and protest with their POV, and then the debate would begin. *yawn* it is an endless vicious cycle. Today’s rant is all about Single. Singleness. Single persons. Single not in a relationship. Who dictates social media? People! Societies are made of people. It is funny that social media has a way of dragging one down ehn, but then again, its social media, we still need her (yes, social media is female), ironically I read three different articles...
