Double blessings: burden or gifts?

Everyone knows this Gospel Nigerian song (although I'm sure half of us don't know the originator of the song) that goes like this:
'Everything na double double, na double double.' Some people even add triple or fourple to it.. Hehe

I have this pastor that says ' when double wahala comes you people should know you asked for double of everything oh'.. Haha.

Today in church; someone was praying for me, she said ' God would embarss you with blessings, I'm not joking, He would grant you multiple blessings, give you fourple blessings'. Someone over heard this last line of the conversation and said 'like quadruplets'.. I literally laughed out loud, I was like abeg oh.. Then the person said 'ah don't laugh, at least your mommy kuku likes kids, she would help you'. In which I replied and said 'she must be the one that would carry them and nurse them'..

I'm sure you are wondering 'where am I going with this?' Lol. We all want blessings. But can there really be anything as too much blessings? I'm not saying I didn't appreciate the prayer the woman gave on my behalf, in fact I said 'Amen!'. But I drew a line at the quadruplets one. I love kids; but do I want to have four at the same time?. Ah. Even thinking about it gives me shivers. (See me talking like its me that would create my children, hehe).

God blesses you and I in ways we can't phantom, some we didn't even ask for.
In my short years spent on earth, I have come to the realization that God shows mercy to whom He wants to.
So you may think someone is more blessed than someone else, that doesn't mean that they have too much blessing. Its God's mercy radiating over that person or family.

Oya lemme be going.. The koko of my gist is sha that blessings are from God. Take yours and give him thanks.

With love,

Sunday Special

FEAR Where can I hide from this scary beast I'm so tired of attending these feasts I have been held bound by your lies You told me I can't go beyond where I am My whole life I had dreams that would transform the world I saw myself sitting with Kings Dinning with Princes But In reality,all that was on my plate was hate I looked around and saw regret You made me feel comfortable, here on this dinning table Feeding me with stories of how I can't, How I wouldn't be able to! You told me they would laugh at me the moment I opened my mouth to speak That explains why everyone thinks I'm weak I got letters of Invitation from greatness You tore them right before my eyes You took me out once in a while to see your friends,mediocrity, status quo and Impossibility They seemed cool at the time Till I met faith Then I realised my whole life has been a deception All this while I was at the wrong reception Faith took me on a walk and showed me all the things I ...

List

As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?). I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol. So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on 'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things. The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for) There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a...

The SS 4

If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off , Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 . I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!) ‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness? This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17: 1. Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us. 2. Pu...

I'm Inspired...
