Demands

-

 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 demands of us.

One major demand is to love one another as we love ourselves.

How well is that teeny weeny demand working for you?


The same way we make demands of our parents, friends, and acquaintances, is the same way God makes demands.

This week, it is my prayer that we attentively listen to his demands and act accordingly.


What better time to have this topic. As the year is gradually wounding up, we must have stepped on the toes of people. Why not listen to whatever God is demanding of you.

Cheers!

Welcome to December.

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, ...

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...

Shedding!

The fat we so feared, has finally consumed us. We deprived our bodies of our beauty sleep so we jogged tirelessly. We signed up for several fat-burning exercises. We drank different varieties of homemade and industrial concoctions in the name of slimming tea. We said an emphatic NO to continental dishes that assaulted not just our eyes but also our taste buds. We shut our tummies from the desperate cravings for chocolate and red velvet cakes. We violently opposed the existence of mirrors. We fled and sidestepped the weighing scale. We succeeded in starving our bodies of vital nutrients in a bid to be perfect. We've lived like lions trapped in a cage. We ought to live life. Well, the good news is that the time has come to shed our inhibitions. The snake is unafraid to shed its skin. It does this shedding regularly to enable growth and to eliminate parasites that may have attached to its old skin. If a snake fails to shed, it dies! What fat has consumed us? How oft...
