Lets Share the Word . Jesus is the Word

20/11/2024

One day , l eavesdropped some people talking , they were in agreement that life is short. l turned to ask them are you sure life is short? They said yes , so l asked them how old are you? One said 38. So l asked if l promised you a gift and l said l will give you in 38years is it alright, both of them shook their heads and said no , its different that will be too long to wait so l said lets agree then life is NOT SHORT. l have another example did you know the ministry of Jesus lasted 3and a half years thats all! yet He made an impact that has resonanted thousands of years later , trust me those 3 years were very long for Jesus. Why? He was busy fulfilling his purpose. Just 3 years! sounds short right? What have you done with your age? 18, 30, 40,50 , maybe 45 , maybe 60 even. What have you done? Have you fulfilled purpose? Do you even know your purpose? Have you walked in the will and perfect will of God! And yet we will sit down and say life is too short. Maybe the post is too long to remember but take this with you......... You are still alive so you can fulfill your purpose seek it out diligently and walk in it , and life will be a long walk of fulfilment because you will stop chasing time but time will chase after you

Isaiah 41 vs 10 : Fear Not

How I Met the Love of My Life.
First impressions are nonsense.
Let me tell you something.
Sometime last year, a guy intercepted me on my way out of Film House, Asaba, and asked me out. Fine person! Tall and chubby, just the way I like them... Well, with my plenty home training, I turned him down politely and continued my journey.
For where?! Oga continued following me o. He wanted to know why? So I told him I had a boyfriend who loved and cared for me, and I wouldn't want to break his heart.
"So can I have your number please? We could build a platonic relationship. You seem nice and receptive."
I laughed. Receptionist ni! See this one! In this time and age? All these guys that like to follow backyard to collect somebody's investment... Better be kiafu!
Well, after much much, I gave Oga my number.
At some point, he began to call too much, asking for a date. I blocked his line. Date ko, calendar ni! Again, he resulted to text messages. I blocked that avenue too. Before I knew it, WhatsApp and Facebook Chat haff start. I discovered him and quickly blocked his hands off. Hian! 😂
Then one evening as I was trying to sleep, I heard a knock on my door, and there He was. Standing. Smiling too. Very cute! Hian!
"How did you find me?" I asked.
"I love you." He replied.
Love who? Is like this one is high. Sharp sharp, I banged my door on his face, and went back to sleep. But the picture of his stupid cute smiling face won't just leave my head, no matter how much I covered myself with the blood of my boyfriend. God abeg o!
Fast forward to some months later. I got into deep trouble. Serious one. I felt I was gonna die from the effect. So I began to seek help. From friends and foes alike.
Guess what? In a twinkle of an eye, I looked around and I was standing alone. No boyfriend. No friends. Nobody. well some friends were kind enough to stay afar and Cheer me up with loud tunes:
"Ayo, you can do this!"
"Peno, e go better! God will see you through!"
"Ayo, you're a strong woman. Stay strong for us!"
"Peno, fight! Keep your head above water! Don't give up or give in, give down!"
Words. Words. Words. Everybody had one thing or the other to say to me. They wanted me to be strong. To fight. To be this and that, but nobody told me how. Nobody stood with me. Everything happened from a distance. No help, no direction. Nothing.
Gradually, I slipped into depression. I became bitter. Angry at anything and anyone. Tired. Drained. Distraught. Dejected. Almost insane.
At a point I attended every workshop/seminar. Listened to therapists. Tried making new friends, but still... nothing. I Sha gave up and withdrew myself from civilization. I'd switch off my phones many times, to make sure I was the only one in my space. I was alone.
A month later, I decided to jog on my street again. Had a "funny" story to write, and needed to clear my head a bit, so I could get in the mood.
As I jogged, I notice someone was also jogging from behind me. "Ugo, stop. Stop!" He called.
Egbami! Who told this stalker my name?! I was furious. When he noticed I won't stop, he doubled his steps and caught up with me. I looked at his face. Fine man. Same chubby person. Stalker aiye! Jersey and boots...Designers. Imagine? Mtcheew! He's even a bloody show off!
I rolled my eyes at him, and was about to continue my journey, when I felt him grab me. Into an embrace. I wanted to fight, but I was too tired to. Besides, the effect of the hug was seeping in. Very medicinal something. Unashamedly, I warned myself: Aunty Pen, you need this, camdan and collect.😂
Gradually, I relaxed into him. Like I wanted to enter inside his body. Boom! The tears came. I cried uncontrollably. Just as I was entering gear 1, shame started catching me. See me hustling for hug from the broad shest of a man that I have blocked on all platforms! Tueh!
As if Oga read my thoughts: " Ugo, I see you. Cry all you want. Baby, this broad chest was specifically designed for you. So you better have fun and stop thinking nonsense."
In my mind, I was like: Ugo ke? Who told this one my name is Ugo? Only family calls me that. How did he come up with such information?👀
While he escorted me back after jogging, I told him some things going on with me, I expected him to ask about my boyfriend and my friends. Surprisingly, he didn't. Then I asked him why he wouldn't ask,
"Ugo, I am not here to judge you." He replied.
We got to my house and I bade him farewell.
"Please, let me stay small na. I want to spend time. With you." He pleaded.
I refused. Because my house was a mess. shyness and shame was killing me. Let it not be said among the brotherhood that my wife material cannot sew bowtie. Chukwu aju!
Again, as if he read my mind, he was like: I'd like to help you clean up. We could do it together if you don't mind."
Ah! Hope this one is not a psychic sha. Sha... He came in. He made breakfast. People, he can cook!!!! Oh! 😍😍
Together we arranged the entire house.
Also I noticed he was really smart. Like he began to provide feasible solutions to all the puzzles I struggled with. And... he even repaired my wall clock. Handy man! Just the way I like them.
I felt him open the door, so I begged him to stay a bit more. Shameless me!
"No, I'm here. I can't leave you. Even when you can't see or feel me, I'm always here". He replied.
Just as I was about to smile, he went; "Uhm, Babe, when we were coming upstairs, I noticed a guy struggling to clean up his house downstairs. Let me knock and see if he'd like some help. I'd be back. If you miss me too much, Just close your eyes and say my name, for I AM in you.
Mummies in the house I present to you my boyfriend, Jesus the Christ. The one whose love bankrupted Heaven for me and you.
I present to you a love that is real. Not sly. Not selfish. Very childlike. And most times, outright ridiculous. Reckless, even.
A love without a plan B.
I know we all have our reservations and stuff... but this worked for me. He worked for me. And He can work for you too. From me, He's reaching out to you. You might have blocked Him on all platforms, but He still stands at the door of your heart. Knocking. You don't have to clean up your act or your house before you let Him in. You don't need to impress him. He doesn't judge anyone.
He really wants to help you like He helped me...but He won't badge into you. Nah... He's a gentle man. *Revelation 3:20 (KJV) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.* Too refined for that. 👌
Like me, you have to decide to open up the door and let Him in, yourself.

Children the greatest miracle...
One day l was kneeling down to pray then l placed my bible in front of me, it opened to Genesis 15 , being lazy to search for a verse l read that particular chapter and as l read the words "seeing as l go childless". l realized the greatest miracle that God did for Abraham was give him a child an heir to his estate. Abram became Abraham - the father of nations because God promised him a son from his loins. l learnt the value of children. We might have wealth but without children to leave the wealth for it , it all somehow becomes meaningless. l know to some, children are just a burden it happens to me too when l am struggling to cope but after reading that the promise of Abraham could only come to pass if he had a son. l realized blessed is she whom God has given children for they are the real legacy. Do you realize without Isaac we wouldn't have Jesus, from the seed of Abraham we have a savior. For God so loved the world that he gave Abraham a son......l dont know but it feels so deep, l cant put words to it but it literally means humanity is THE gift everything else is an accessory to our existence.
from the barren Hannah we get Samuel the prophet
from the barren Rachel we get Joseph the dreamer, the lifter of his family
from the barren Elizabeth we get John the baptist.
its as if when God wants to birth out greatness it has to be awaited for such that when the gift arrives everyone has to notice. the Gift is human. love your neighbour as you love yourself , for their existence is a gift unto you. it doesnt matter if they hate or dislike what they don't know is they are an instrument in the hands of God. Joseph's brothers sold him for a penny they ddn't know they were pushing the agenda of the dream , in their unforeseeing minds they thought they were destroying Joseph. Potiphar's wife accused him wrongly she ddn't know she was being used to send Joseph closer to the cup bearer. For all things work together for them that love the lord and are called according to his purpose. Jesus knew what he was talking about when he said love your enemies..l would add for they are instruments to your destiny unknowingly.

Message of the Dry Bones! part 1
Ezekiel 37
Ezekiel was told these dry bones are the children of Israel, we as Christians are the adopted sons(Romans 8 vs 23) We share in the inheritance of Israel,as we read messages of the old testament Scripture ought to read it as teachings of what our forefathers were taught,did and did not do. God is saying to the church we have become dry bones, if you know biology it takes years if not decades for a buried human bone to become completely dry. it is not the outside world that is dry but the church itself where is the dryness coming from, church doctrines , church members no longer question the regulations and traditions handed to them in the church, some church members have become so used to the church laws that when a new believer comes they are not introduced to the word of God. the discipleship ( 1 Corinthians 3 vs 21) does not start with the Holy Bible but it starts with "ehe since you have joined our church this is what we do here, these are our practises we dress like this , this is how we play , this is how we sing, don't talk to so and so they are not really church members they are visitors. we have forgotten the life giver. (John 6 vs 63) the Holy Spirit alone gives eternal life, Jesus said l am the way the truth and the life.
why are we not sharing Jesus Christ,because we have became dry no longer Spirit -led but religious led.

children
As l was dressing up one of my boys l asked myself why do kids give problems to their parents, why does every family have that one misfit of a sibling, then a statement came to my mind. God is a father and our relationship with him is very important, hence he shows what we are doing to him through our children. l cant claim God said this to me nor can l pinpoint a verse that reflects that statement. but l want to ask you reader if you have children look at how they all behave and look at your relationship with God is there a reflection, is it not similar. let me tell you about my kids:
1
1. he is particular about what he wears how he wears it and corrects people all the time - am not sure about the dressing lol but l correct people all the time sometimes even God himself.
2.he is a nice guy a giver, very sympathetic-i have given to God and others , am very sympathetic , just maybe that's the only good thing l do for God
3.he is grumpy , cries a lot mama's boy, boy do l cry before God sometimes l just kneel down and cry no prayer no worship just crying, now l understand how it irritates God cause sometimes l feel like beating my boy up for crying
that's me in a nutshell check yourself.

God is faithful
ln 2019 l spent most of the year in prayer and fasting, when l couldnt see my answers my faith took a knock this year and l pushed myself to get up l held on even though l had so many questions and doubt in me. Then God did something so amazing this year, he answered a prayer l did last year for a fellow christian sister , its a miracle, so as am reflecting on this answered prayer l realized this year God secretly answered my prayers. While l was knocked in faith and struggling to get up God was busy answering my prayers he just ddnt announce it yet. While l was busy wallowing in doubt and asking myself why are my prayers not being answered God was laughing at me and saying oh thou faithless daughter look around you am working hard. then l discovered he had done another miracle for some one else l prayed for. As l type this l just learnt that God is humble , he answers prayers and takes his time to get the glory, l mean he could have made sure l immediately know what he is doing but he endured my doubt and endured my questions and let me walk through that journey of darkness until l could see the light on my own and when l was back to some faith level without him proving himself he then shows me what he has been doing behind the scenes, it has blown my mind! l wonder if l can ever be so humble to wait for someone to believe in me without proving myself worthy and then show them that l have been worthy of their faith all along they just ddnt know it. WOW am amazed! l asked for the crumbs like the Syro-Phoenician woman but God gave me a seat at the table. Just as that woman asked for crumbs but she was given a seat together with Jesus to share his glory when we remember Jesus she is there on that table and has been for thousands of years. God is gracious.

Never mourn over what God saved you from.
Seek God to heal you and break the soul tie.
Break the desire for a man that clearly showed you he doesn't have good intentions for you and doesn't have any integrity.
Get him out of your heart and mind. Every time you think of him, cut off the thought immediately, cast it down, (2 Corinthians 10:3-5) and replace it with God's Word and replace it with declarations that you deserve a real man that will love you, honor you, that is Christ and Spirit filled. Dont you dare sit and fantasize and wonder about him, and daydream about a man that is clearly no good for you. When you desire a man that is not good you reveal levels of you that are not healed and self•love is deficient. You have to love God and yourself more than to accept a man that will do you this way. Focus on healing; not him.

An encounter with God will give you faith, Paul the Apostle had such outstanding faith because he had a physical encounter with Jesus. when God wants to send you on a mission he will strengthen your faith for the journey. Moses encountered the burning bush to strengthen him and to assure him that his ministry was from God . No matter what happened along the way Moses knew his mission was God ordained no doubt. David experienced a supernatural encounter of killing Goliath, and before then, Saamuel the great prophet had come to anoint him to be King ,even when he encountered adversity in Saul those two encounters must have carried him through even during his wilderness experience living as a fugitive. Joseph had a dream that told his status in the future such that during the pit and prison experience his dream held the candle for him.from all these heroes of God one sees that God starts a journey with his servants by giving them a special encounter with himself that shows them they have an assignment and He is with them.

On that note: thank you Heavenly Father for being faithful. Thank you for standing by me, going through the valley with me until l left! Amen.Psalm 23: the Lord is my shepherd shall not want.

last night l read the word then sat on my bed, and somehow l found myself saying now l am a christian. l praised God and felt it in my spirit. there is a certain way to walk with God that in the midst of trouble we discover how much we love God. God has been a miracle worker for me, he has taken through ups and downs. l have lost my way so many times but everytime l come back l find his loving arms. but l think my wondering days are over. l have run full circle now. thank you Jesus. Jeremiah 31 vs 22.
