Alertness

-

Hiya!🤗 Hi there, how has it been at your end? Happy new month💃. This year has been already long, yeah?😶 

Kindly indulge me for a moment while I unravel today's message...💬 


Has anything ever been stolen from you without your knowledge?

Well, if you haven't experienced any theft, here's my story.


On one of the days I left home for school ✏️, I boarded a vehicle🚖. It was on one of such journeys I learned my lesson😔.

What was the lesson? Never leave your purse👛 in a vehicle when you step down even for a millisecond.

On that day, I had gotten down very briefly and when I got back, I didn't bother to check my bag🎒 because I trusted that everything would be intact.


Not until I got to school, did I discover that I had been ripped off my pocket money💵 😪.

You don't want to know what my mum said when I called to inform her.😂


Well, there is the need to be on guard always. To don the full armor of Christ constantly. As to when the devil shall pay a visit, we know not. This world 🌎 is a battlefield. Each day we face a spiritual war and an enemy who's real. The forces of darkness don't wait for us to be ready for their attack. They're ruthless, determined and cunning.


Wear your armor!


Had I been on alert, my pocket money wouldn't have been ripped from me. 😪


The Devil could care less if we "feel" prepared, or prayed up for your day. In fact, he prefers we're not.

In Ephesians 6, we are exhorted to put on the armour of God. A necessary component to this "armour" is the "sword of the Spirit" which is the Word of God, the Bible. When Satan tempted Jesus three times in the wilderness, how did Jesus fend off the attacks? You guessed it! Each time, he quoted the Scripture. Knowledge of God's word is essential to our spiritual alertness.

Today and always, choose to be on the watch.

At all times.


Throw on your armor, in readiness for the battle.

Victory is guaranteed.

Love,

Faith, for the Royal Rubies.

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...
