    Fasting Day 01 – Let’s go!

    I bring you good tidings from the Most High. It’s Day 02 of the fast as I write this. Today, I told myself that no matter what happened I would publish a post here. For you. I must. So I wrote on a piece of paper as I made a work call that by 7…

  • God’s grace boggles my mind…

    God’s grace boggles my mind…

    Grace is a beginning. I will not say ‘new’ because I have never heard of old beginnings. Entry #0000007 Grace is God’s gift and like all gifts, all you have to do is receive it.Grace is undeserving. It’s Jacob begging Esau to forgive him even when he deserved justice.It’s mercy when we deserve punishment. Accepting…

    How I’m feeling…

    I woke up on the right side of the right side of my bed. Entry #0000006 For a long time, I’ve reached out for contentment but my fingers are only long enough to touch it, not hold it. When I woke up today, it was firmly nestled in my palms. I let out the song…

    Today, my mother told me I behave like a snake

    Current mood = tired. Entry #0000005 Huh? Snake? I was bothered, mainly because I do not take lightly any comparison to the evil one. Lol. Nigerian parents are just dramatic please.But she clarified. My moods have been terrible these past few days; one day I am superhyper and the next minute, my face wears a…

  • Can I be flogged for the Name?

    Can I be flogged for the Name?

    Somehow, I cannot wrap my head around it. Entry #0000004 Today as I studied Acts, I came upon the part where the apostles rejoiced that they were flogged and counted worthy to be treated shamefully on behalf of the Name (Acts 5:40-41). I paused. Flogging? Flog me? I have read about persecution in the Bible…

  • I’m a bit worried…

    I’m a bit worried…

    Today I saw a post on social media that did not sit well with my spirit. Entry #0000003 Mostly because something did not seem right about it. It was a picture that looked something like a parody of a painting done by a renaissance artist. The text above it shouted, ‘This is Job. Job’s friends…

  • So I started working out…

    So I started working out…

    I thought I could do all things until I had to do 50 sit-ups. Entry #0000002 *Chill, my clown makeup has got to be around here somewhere* I started towards the end of October. I was pumped up but despite my ‘want’ for consistency, I’ve only worked out a little above 10 days (ok fine,…

    I should not go back to bed

    5 out of 7 days a week, I want to stop and go back to bed. Entry #0000001 That’s how I feel when things do not go according to schedule and here, I’m referring to an actual schedule.I have a ‘strict’ list of things to do each day and their time slots. However, things do…

    “Faith cometh by hearing” but so does fear…

    These days, there seems to be a plague of bad news. Every second, something bad is happening. I’m sure good things happen too but somehow, the bad news take the centre stage, snaking its way into our ears and consequently our hearts, influencing our decisions covertly and overtly. Disclaimer: You will not agree with everything…

  • How long can you stay high?

    How long can you stay high?

    First, let’s pretend that we both have the same notion of “highness” in our heads, yes? Second, let’s pretend again that you’re not here to hear another of my drunk tales, okay? Disclaimer: You will not agree with everything you’re about to read, and that is not okay. Have you ever been high? What gets…
