GRACE DIFFERS

-

 What someone does repeatedly and go scotfree, another person may do it and get punished for it. It lies with grace and 'ori'; or maybe destiny. U must understand the grace u possess. Let me illustrate with real-life experience but won't mention names.#Grace 

Starting with the Bible, there was a case of 2 kings - Saul & David. Saul was rejected as King all cos he failed to wait for Samuel to offer a sacrifice unto God, yet David not only cheated severally but also killed another person to get His wife, yet He was one of God's favourites.

I know of two sisters in real life, one did an abortion once and never conceived again; yet another did over eleven times yet married and have several children. I know some may adduce medical explanation for it but I see grace in actions here. #Grace


Same business with the same capital and almost equal education, one person may prosper compare to the other person. Most times, we attribute to competence but I tell you it is sometimes much more than that. #Grace makes the difference most times.

Someone only used one guy to do 'shakara', another cheated and broken several guys heart yet married one of the best men on the Earth. Don't say it is mere coincidence, it is in their #Grace

Some married ladies divorced and remarried to single guys, yet hundreds of virtuous ladies who have not defiled themselves like the biblical virgins are without husbands. It is positioning, some will call it, but I call it the handwork of #Grace.

Someone will attempt adultery once and had his fingers burnt with HIV/AIDS, another had slept with prostitutes severally yet he is without such diseases. It is the luck you say? Nope, don't overshoot your luck, #Grace differs.

I don't know why I'm writing this, but woke up with this in mind and I felt like sharing it here. The key to making it in life is partly if not majorly, influenced by the grace we possess. Please know the #Grace 'you carry' and never overshoot your boundary!

Finally, the perfect #Grace comes from God thru the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the propitiation for our sins. Through Him, we've remission of sins. The starting point of enjoying God's grace is giving your life to God through Christ. You can do that by confessing dt He is your Lord.

2019 - A YEAR OF DECISION

-
2019 - A YEAR OF DECISION Dear friends, I'm happy you made it to 2019. It is a rare privilege, and I do hope you won't take it for granted. Many people wished and prayed to see this day, but were not able to see it. It therefore becomes important that we make the year counts. The law of motion says: everything remains in a state of rest until it is moved. What this means is that everything we wish or have prayed for this year will require our inputs. In simple term, do you want more money, and you are in paid employment. You may need to ask for a raise in your place of work, and if your employer won't do that despite being convinced you are giving your best, don't hesitate to change your job. Alternatively, you may need to do side hustle if your job permits. Better still, you may quit to start your business. Are you in a toxic relationship or you don't even have a reliable partner, yet you would like to marry this year, encourage your partner to change, and if

LIFE VOYAGE IS ROOTED IN BILLOWS

-
Life is a voyage which all men undertake, for we are mere mortal with divine mandate. In our sojourn, we are bound to face countless hills and mountains. Some we easily succumbed, others maybe so overwhelming that we have to meander around them, yet in all we must never succumb to the dictates of fate. But here lies the paradox between fate and destiny. In essence, what is fate, what is destiny? Should we say fate is the sum total of fortunes and misfortunes that befalls on our part to destiny- the eternal (most times unknown) glorious end that await us and that we all aspire to be in the nearest future? Or is our fate our destiny? In that case, everything that happens to us is our fate and is our destiny. Maybe or maybe not, one thing is however clear like Job said: a man cannot enjoy all the goods in life without a taste of a sour moment. Suffice to say, permanent happiness or sadness is a myriad. In all our days, we are bound to make choices that will latter define us now and la

THE CITY OF LAGOS by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,

-
*_Novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who has lived in Lagos on and off for a decade has written an essay for Esquire's new Travel & Adventure issue, in which she reflected on life in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos. Read below:_* Lagos will not court you. It is a city that is what it is. I have lived part-time in Lagos for 10 years and I complain about it each time I return from my home in the US — its allergy to order, its stultifying traffic, its power cuts. I like, though, that nothing about Lagos was crafted for the tourist, nothing done to appeal to the visitor. Tourism has its uses, but it can mangle a city, especially a developing city, and flatten it into a permanent shape of service: the city’s default becomes a simpering bow, and its people turn the greyest parts of themselves into colourful props. In this sense, Lagos has a certain authenticity because it is indifferent to ingratiating itself; it will treat your love with an embrace, and your hate with a shrug. W
