Let me take you to church - "you need not to go away"
Let me deviate a little bit....
Is always a busy day for me every Sunday, but this Sunday it seems I have a lesser things to do compared to other Sunday where I will have to be busy for whole day, going from one church meeting to the other.
I came back from church on time today feeling so hungry and I crave for something I will put in my stomach. Yes that reminds me , I have a water melon at home , I cut it and slice into a plate, I feel satisfied after. Taking it.
Thougt about what to do again? I carried my Bible to study the world of God, and I I'll be Sharing with you the passage that I studied.
*****The consequential part*****
In Matthew chap 14:15-20, the apostles were telling Jesus that the people who came to listen to the word of God have to go away, because it late already, and they have nothing to give to them.
But Jesus said that " they need not go away" and the reason why Jesus said this was because, they belong to him, whether there is food or not.
So, my brothers and sisters, will you go away, because of the things of this world? So Christ is telling us that no matter what we are passing through, there's no need for us to go away because his plans for us is of good and not of evil.
*****The reasons you need not go away:*****
1) God created man to live in union with him: the ambition of God is for you and me to be with him. In Roman chap 8:38-39 we were makes us understand that nothing should separate from the love of God. So what are those things that will separate us from him, he created you and me to live with him, no matter what , you are credited to live in union with him.
*And one more thing you must know is that the world we are is a battlefield, every day we are been faced with different challenges all these things are caused by ourselves and people living around us, they have made the country so horrible, as a politician if you don't know how to lie they will not be able go beyond where they are, and it all because of this so-called money, people have been doing so many things just because of money, and christ is telling us "do not go away," do not separate your self from him beca*use *of all these things*.
Shout out to my sponsor, you're all amazing
2) There are different things that threaten that union with him: there are many things that want you and me to be separated from the love of God, the bible say, will you allow all these things to separate you from the love of God in Roman chap 8 vs 35 says, what shall separate us from the love of God, shall tribulation? , is it the situation you find yourself? Or degrees, persecution, hunger, or peril all these should not separate us from the love of God. We should not allow all this thing to destroy our relationship with God.
When the apostle said, let this person go away and find something to eat, but Jesus said no because he has a plan for them.
Jesus knows what he will do that will make your life a better one, but you have to be patient because his plans for is of good. We should not because of all these worldly things separate from God, they are there for a while and they will go someday.
We should go away from him because he cares about you and me, he knows our needs, he knows our problem, he knows our challenges, he will never abandon is, he will never change except we do, he's never far away from us, but it we at times that are far away from him, so he as telling us, we need not t go away.
`Using a tree for an example`
When a branch is being cut off from a tree it will dry up because nutrients could no longer be supplied to the tree.
Same thing applies to us, if we go away from him , our lives we have no meaning, we are more like a walking lifeless person. Let's cling to him in all we do
I pray that may God give us the grace to be faithful to him through Christ our Lord. Amen🙏
Have a blissful Sunday!

Yo! It's my birthday, so many blessings to count
Finally, it's today, I was told that today is the day I came to this world years back, a day when the sun touched my eyes, a day when I cracked a smile and I'm going to crack more smiles today, a day that my journey started, the journey that always reminds me of my beginning and what it's worth to this moment.
I wasn’t chosen today by any luck.The day chose to stand out for me, with a delightful heart, I wish myself an unending you, happy birthday to my humble self.
*Ho, I'm blushing 😊*😊
**How do I begin to count my blessings???**
**Image from gallery**
It's All started when I was a kid, till the present moment. I thank God for the gift of life,that's the greatest gift God has been given unto me, all others are counterfeit, it's just so useless without it
I do feel emotional about some things happening around me, so many wishes and dreams have been buried. Yes, I'm that kind of person with positive thoughts. who am I to make wishes? Who I to dream for the future?
`I always pray to God to keep me till all my wishes and dreams will be fulfilled`.
Just this year, I lost two of my friends in just a week but on different days, I was filled with sorrow, I could not eat, for almost a week, I'm not myself because I was in shock. Questions keep on ringing in my mind, what happened? I never can tell, still a mystery to me but God is still keeping till this moment, I have every course to thank God for his blessings.
**Hawuuu! Don't feel bad about this, just be happy for me, because it's my birthday 💃**
**I thank God for the blessing of the good family given unto me.**
My families have been so supportive to me through the love and care being shown to me, a type of family that one will always pray for.
Thank you Mom, thank you dad for nurturing me to the stage.
So many blessings to count, if I should start writing it will not contain the whole of this platform..... hehehehe 😆😃

It is not over until it's over

There are times when some things happen in our lives and they flush us up and make us scramble.
Flood of tears and grief break through your barriers and causes you to lament.
Some times it makes you stay awake in the dreadful night and you will be left alone in your thoughts, but with all these and all the misery and anguish the storm will always come and go.

In 2015, while in boarding school, I faced my studies with full concentration in a bid to ensure I pass out with flying colours. I'm that girl with a big dream, and I'm always working towards making dreams become realities. But I have a problem which at times tends to make me want to change my mind, all I will always tell myself is that "Mary you can do it, never give up". I find it difficult to understand this subject because without it, I will not be able to go for a science course.
I battled with mathematics, I tried all my possible best to break the barrier, but the more I tried the more I became more woeful in my workings, and this caused me a lot of pain that made me always ask myself *"why can't I do this? others are doing it, why me in this situation?"*. I always lamented
One day, during break time, my mathematics teacher called and said to me "Mary, I've been longing to tell you this, it all about your mathematics"
That moment, my heart skipped listening to her talking about my performance in this particular subject because deep within me I knew I had performed woefully in the last exam.
*"If you know you can't cope with mathematics, why Don't you change your field of study, instead of wasting your time in science class, I know you are good in other subjects, but you are going nowhere without mathematics, you're are such a dullard, it is better you change and look for any simple course you can cope with"*
She left after saying this, at that moment I felt really miserable, my legs became too heavy for me to carry "she just called me a dullard" I thought within my self, standing still, at the same point where my teacher left me, my friend Gracias came to me and asked me "Mary what's wrong? Why are you standing here and lost in thought?" I could not answer her.
I managed to follow her to our hostel room, that night I could not sleep, everything turned dark and blue, and all alone in my thoughts again, with my face bent on my knees, I wept like I had never done before. I thought of how I could make a change, negative thoughts about giving up kept springing as I thought about what the teacher told me, but I said to myself "I will never give up on my dream". I made a determination deep within me during that night that I didn't know when I slept off.

I woke up the next morning which was a Saturday, there was not going to be any lesson, I cleaned my room and kept everywhere tidy, after eating my meal, I prepared myself and went to the library to read my books. I read for some hours and at 4 pm at noon I went back home, I continued in this act of reading and studying, but I paid more attention to my mathematics.
At night I always burned the midnight candle to study mathematics, I won't sleep until I make sure I did all my workings and the assignment given to me. I did this for almost three months. Gradually, I began to improve in mathematics.
To cut the long story short
One day the same maths teacher that condemned me called me and said "Mary, I was so surprised when I saw your mathematics script, you performed excellently, you're becoming a more brilliant girl" at that moment I was filled with joy, happiness was written all over me.
I passed out of school with flying colours and as a first-class Student, I have become excellent in mathematics till this very moment. I was given an award as the Best Student in mathematics, I was elated and filled with enthusiasm and I said deep within me with a smile "it is not over until it's over".
My advice to you reading this.
*Never give up on your dreams no matter the challenges you might be facing, don't make it to be over, you have to decide for yourself, you are the architect of dreams, you should build yourself the way you desire it.*
*What people say you are doesn't matter, but what you call yourself is what matters the most, the teacher called me a dullard, but I did not see myself as a dullard, I worked on my dream and I came, I saw and conquered.*
*Just be determined and work on yourself, and you will know that all things are possible.*
