Hiya! How has been your day so far? How are the celebrations🎄 going?  Kudos 🎉! You've seen the last Sunday in 2020.👌 Phew! It's been a loooooooong year😪. Hasn't it? Where has 2020 gone?💁😳 Joel Aboderin, thank you Sir!🙇  We all know 2020 was a year like no other. It has been a whole ride🚙. It had several definitions on the lips of many. We all experienced an unexpected turn of events. It’s impossible to talk about this year without discussing our losses — lives, jobs, hope, leadership. When the news🎙 of Covid came, I reckoned it would perch lightly and head out of town almost immediately. Cheerlessly, we all augmented our linguistic repertoire with new lexicons like quarantine, lockdown, entanglement, social distancing, etc.📕 Ooops 😮, no one envisaged the vicious ravage of the world by Mr. Corona. Going out required that you don the obligatory face mask and have a sanitizer with you.  Online learning became a forte for almost everyone. Zoom parties and classes ...

Hi, a beautiful day it is, yeah?👌 December's gradually wrapping up. 2020 has been such a long ride.😶 On today's theme, I'll like to point out how food played a major role in the most famous stories of reconciliation.😋 Indulge me as I begin. ...the fattened calf... The story of the prodigal son is very popular. The focus varies from the wayward lifestyle of the Prodigal son, the Loving welcome of the Father to the somewhat-spiteful older brother who had been labouring on the fields. However, I would like to provoke your thoughts with something my friend, Dawn Of Joy, shared with me. Let's talk about the choice feast, shall we? In Luke 15:23&27, there is a repetition of THE FATTENED CALF not just a fattened calf but THE . In English parlance, THE is a definite article used to denote certainty. From this, we can infer that the Father had anticipated the return of His estranged son, and so He tended THE fattened calf with such grand hopes. The Father gave up the...

Hello there,🙂 How has the month been?🤔 Hope you still remember to catch your breath? I crave your attention as we delve into today's tidbit. Recently, I read through Matthew 14:25-33 with a group of friends and what stood out for me was simply: BIG MOVES DON'T ALWAYS PROVE GREAT FAITH . You see that man named Peter, he deserves additional respect from us. We're always too hasty to jump on him for shifting his gaze from Jesus for a bit. How about the other disciples who sat in the boat and watched all these transpire? Have you tried speculating what was going on through their minds?   Peter stepped out of the boat. He was the only one who did. We mustn't judge Peter whilst we're still seated in the boat. As for me, I'd rather step onto the water with Christ than spend the rest of my life wondering "what if" I had stepped out like my friend, Peter .  A few of the disciples had families, yeah? Just imagine them having a family time and the kids inquire ...

 Hi there! 🙂 Happy New Month.💃 God has been good, yeah?🤗 As today's topic is introduced, take some time, and search your heart.🤔 Have you read through these books of the Bible? Isaiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Micah, Obadiah...? What did you find? The Lord kept bemoaning the attitude of His Beloved. Did you read the demands He made of these prophets? Did they seem absurd to you? Well, God still makes demands of us. These demands, though tough, aren't grievous. It varies with individuals from putting a call through, to mend a fence or praying for someone who hurt you. How do you respond to these demands? Do you hear and listen or just hear? It is essential that to move with God, we submit to his demands . Reading through the books of these prophets, I couldn't help but wonder how the prophets carried out those demands. Think back to how you felt when someone required your time or money or reassurance? How did you feel? Did you feel inconvenienced? It is the same way God makes dem...
