Fear Not

"The eagle has no fear of adversity. We need to be like the eagle and have a fearless spirit of a conqueror!” —Joyce Meyer


The dark night slowly emerged, shadows stealthily walked in. The shadows seemed to dance with the sparkling stars. The moon stood still observing her frail form beneath. Her fears gave way. The trees suddenly shuddered in fright and the air became tense.
Several unpleasant images conjured in her mind. A growing incertitude plagued her heart. What if he came tonight? Will he swallow me or salute in reverence?
She banged the door but no answer came. She buzzed the intercom impatiently but received silence.

The leaves rustled and she knew the hour had come. The heavy leather boots plunked the ground and shook.
"Flee!" Her heart told her.
Her feet failed so she stood, waiting and waiting for "its" arrival.
The footsteps drew closer and her feet finally obeyed the gentle nudges from the heart. She fled, leaving it all behind. Her golden tresses danced in the moonlight.
Pausing to hear if she'd been followed, she thought her ears heard silence so she collapsed.
In a twinkle of an eye, the atmosphere surged and she knew her companion had surfaced. She stood up and came face to face with his hazel eyes and her fears abated.
His eyes held the answer: He wasn't the enemy.

The enemy lurked in the shadows hatching fires under his breath. The bait had been set in motion. For the right opportunity he now waited.

We need not fear when we have the Master within to abate the storm.
PSALMS 91:4(AMP) says,
"He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions, And under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and a wall."

When fear causes hope to fade, flee to God, the refuge you can reach on your knees.

You Never Let Go by Matt Redman

Kind regards.

3, 2, 1. . . Blast off ! Welcome to the second half of 2020. Forgive my delay in reaching out. However, I trust you've been in good health. When the wait lengthens, When all you feel is regression, I hope you remember Him who makes the wait remarkable. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This period has been filled with unforeseen delays. Several weddings and events were postponed. Some organizations took to the social web in order to keep relevant. Kudos to them. Church halls reverberated with long silence. Classrooms weren't left out as they piled up cobwebs. Oh my, libraries were also deserted. Recreational parks hungered for some merriment. Cinema houses suffered abandonment. Alas, many homes now have steady occupants. During this period, some took out time to develop themselves. Others were not afforded such an initiative. Then we realized that in spite of the events (and what we made of them), time still marched on. Even while we wa

Growing Up: A Scam

Hiya! A pleasant day it is, ain't it? How has it been at your end? I hope you still remember to smile and cut yourself some slack? Today's topic resonates with many of us. Very recently, I clocked a year. Prior to this, I'd always believed growing up to be a scam. I'm glad to point out that this is quietly changing. Nonetheless, that doesn't excuse society for making demands of me before I was prepared. I was told to go to school and gain an education. All glory to God, I passed through the primary, secondary and the so-much talked about tertiary institution. Along the way, I was told when I grow up, the jigsaw puzzle would somehow fit. Well, I have no words for this. Maybe 'cause I'm still growing. All I have is a certain level of distrust against the system. Reasonably, I'm discovering that growing up is an opportunity to become relevant and make an impact in the scheme of things . We were such in a haste to grow up and we had no inkling that we were,

Knowledge

A pleasant afternoon to you. How do you do? On today's post, knowledge is said to be appealing. Here's why... Sound knowledge is a venture not everyone is willing to invest in . Knowledge, they say is power, but what are you willing to pay for its acquisition? Everyone, or rather, majority of folks love to be associated with individuals who are vast and deep versed. However, we fail to make enquiries as to how such a feat was acquired. We would rather appreciate the outcome, than emulate the means. Recently, I confided in a friend my inability to prepare 'starch', a native meal of my motherland. He did well to remind me of the wealth of knowledge embedded in Google. Shamefacedly, I promised myself to look up the recipe for the meal. Don't ask if I have looked it up. How many opportunities to accumulate knowledge have we passed up? Or just when would you realize how powerful a person with knowledge, is? The means of acquiring knowledge is a process
