Double blessings: burden or gifts?

Image
By

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,

End It?

By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list. I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey (who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show) Here's an excerpt from the episode: Nia: I want you to end it Annalise: I'm sorry? Nia: I want you to kill me Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down: Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitel...

Part 2

If you missed Part 1, here is the link: http://theinspiredcutiee.blogspot.com.ng/2015/10/part-1.html#more Part 2: Habit A habit is something done repeatedly sometimes sometimes unconsciously. 40% of everything we do is done merely from habit. Experts say that a habit can be broken or formed in 30 days. I have bad habits, (cell phone addiction, PROCRASTINATION) some I don't even know how I'll be if I stop,(watching too much series) some I have stopped, (I used to suck my lower lip) and I'm sure you too have some habits that are bad. No judgment, habits form us, its when they are bad that it becomes a problem. Breaking a habit can seem overwhelming, especially when you have more than one. Choose a single habit and work on that until you are victorious before you pick up another one. Lemme share a classic example, I began to exercise daily few weeks ago, normal body pains are expected, but me I stopped.  I couldn't deal. On Saturday 24th October I ...

Part 1

By
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...
