PSALM 103 VERSE 2




      Today is Friyay the 30th of September 2016, this means
  • ·         the end the working week
  • ·         the end of another month in 2016,
  • ·         the end of the 9th month,
  • ·         tomorrow is October 1st, Nigeria’s Independence
  • ·         it is also someone’s birthday lol
I want you to take few minutes and reflect; (I already did that this morning so I won’t be a hypocrite) try and think about your first day in this year and other days that have passed (I doubt you’ll be able to remember everything that happened except if you had a journal, and most journals contain only memorable events). Think of goals you set out to achieve; the ones you did, the ones you didn’t, friends you’ve made and the ones you’ve lost. Trust me a lot has happened, if you think I’m wrong, just take a look at yourself in the mirror, you’ve either added or lost some weight, you’ve either gotten darker or fairer, you’ve even changed your hairstyle (for some more than once lol).

Psalm 103 verse 2 according to King James Version “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits” if you continue reading from verse 3, it states the benefits God gives. For some 2016 may have started out great, but right now it feels like shit, the irony is that this is the reverse for some people; some people have bought cars, some houses while others have lost these things. My point is that despite all that is happening, DON’T FORGET GOD’S BENEFITS. What are benefits? They are like added advantages, like extra or as Yourba people say “fisi”.

I write this post with lots of mixed feelings because I just received some unexpected news; sadness, anger, happiness, hurt and doubt, but I’ll still remember God’s benefits, those he has given me without me asking or deserving them.

Before I round up, look back thank God for his benefits, look at now and smile, or try to smile, and look forwardand ask for grace to accomplish those goals set before you.

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...
