Life matters

How are you doing, Guys? I hope you're doing well. Recently, I've been having conversations with my friends about the pervert things going on in the church, and it has all been so heartbreaking. I feel we should get on this together. Let's talk about STONES. 1Kgs.6.7 - And the temple, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built. Why's there so much noise at the building site? Why do I keep hearing the sound of the hammer and the chisel and many iron tools? Shouldn't there be only finished stones at the building site?  I mean, if there's still all these noise at the palace, I wonder what then took place at the quarry? I always joke around with people that "we're all pencils in the hands of the creator." The 'superstory' line. In God's super story, we're stones.  God really wants to use everyone of us, He wants to l

How can it be that the devil would think he could tempt Jesus and be successful at it? Remember that particular episode where he took Christ to a high mountain, showed Him the riches of the world and asked Him to bow, promising to give Him everything, if he bows. Keep in mind: The devil had full knowledge of the fact that Jesus was the CHRIST and logically shouldn't have bothered to even try, but that didn't stop him, he still tempted Jesus anyway.  It must be that, he knew Jesus was flesh and blood while he was on earth, as was any other man, therefore he was banking on the hope that, like any other 'man', Christ would not know His own identity. That maybe Jesus would not know that eventhough He was human, he was still the CHRIST and he had power to say "No" to what otherwise, as a human, he should be weak towards. See that?  Basically, what he did was, he tried to play on Christ's own intelligence. Just imagine if Christ did not know His identity, if tha

"Why Me? God!  I watched in silence and so much sympathy as her sobbing turned near hysterical, some might even consider it dramatic, the tears streamed down her face in such a fast pace, you would think they were in a competition of 'which drops first'. It had been like that for a while and it was very well expected since she was robbed of her considerable essentials, her laptop and her phones were all gone, she probably had very important information stored on them, I actually felt like I could feel her pain. But she didn't lose a loved one, no, which is why some people might have started to think her non-stop sobbing, is too dramatic. Personally, I had no issue with her crying, but those lines though, she kept repeating them and, they started to really irk me. "Why Me? Why Me?"  REALLY? Bae, why not you?  Do you know that, 'Why ME?' means you'd prefer it happened to someone else?  Do you know that, another way to say 'Why me?', is to sa

People owe you nothing! DISCLAIMER: This table does not totally exclude me, so it's not an attack🙏🏽 I believe our hurts will reduce considerably if we FIRST, reduce the expectations we have of people. You should stop it! Stop thinking they can make you happy. Stop thinking that because they're a rich aquaintance, then they should be able to spare you some of their money. Stop! Stop thinking that because they have a high social status and they're 'close' to you, it should not be a big deal for them to use their connection to fix you in a good place. Infact ehn, Stop thinking that your parents are supposed to fend for you simply because they're your parents(I'm sure you're above 10). Save yourself some heartaches, because sincerely, that's just you feeling entitled and your sense of entitlement will do you little good. Now when you do actually get these benefits from people, agree that you are BLESSED. That's the sole reason, not because of some

He rarely fought with his friend, but obviously something had caused a rift between them because, they were exchanging words in angry bursts, his friend said something that hit really low, it was obvious the friend said it to hurt him, oh his heart pumped hard as he got infuriated, how could that have come out from his friend's mouth? He no longer saw a friend but an enemy, only an enemy would wound him this way, he searched frantically for something, anything, he just needed to retaliate desperately, so this guy (his friend) could feel the hurt too, so he could understand how angry he'd made him.... There! a knife on the stool, and before he knew it, gbam!!!!! The deed was done, he had stabbed his friend.  His eyes are open now, he's not so angry anymore, now he can reason about what he has done and alas, he can't believe he was the one who did what he did, that's why you hear him repeating the lines.... "I don't know what came over me" because he is

Abraham, Sarah and Hagar - A pot mix of mess My Dad said something in one of the meetings we held recently, he said when one time he was contemplating taking a particular step, after he had prayed concerning a matter and he made no headway, he felt that taking this step was going to be his only way out. God asked him; " Do you think I can't do this thing for you? " he answered in his heart. "God, I know you can do it, it's just that your own takes time" It sounded funny, because most of us could relate with it. And partly it's the truth:  It can be very hard to wait on God because His timing is really very different from ours. But the reason is: He is working with His plan, not ours.  And we must train ourselves to work at his own pace, if not we'd get frustrated at how long he's taking and it may make us try to rush past him, and then we will end up making the mother of all messes. That's how I can describe the mess Abraham made by sleeping

Sometimes, I'm really genuinely upset with God (I can't lie)... Sometimes I'm angry at the fact that things happen that make me wonder if God is really on my side. There are certain prayers that when they're raised, I just get plain infuriated.....We prayed this prayer last year and the year before the last and the year before that. Why  does it seem like things just don't work out? Why can't things just go smooth? Sometimes, my mind is just saying... "God I love you o, but right now I'm angry with you. And I know you love me, but I.....  can't say I feel it right now" This is hard to write about, because I don't know if I'm the only one who sometimes thinks this way....and if I am, what do you now think of me? But sincerely, I've had moments in this life o.... One of those moments is when I'm thinking....  " Why do we have to face so much as Christians? Conflicts all around us, different kinds of temptations, ungodly ideas
