SEASONS AND TIMES

Hellooooooooooo!

I've really missed you, yes you... please forgive my long time break😔🤦. Special shout-out to Oiza, Emmanuel, Tamilore for the extra push to get this piece out on my blog ...you guys are the real g's.

Yeah...let's dive in

God works according to patterns and  principles: seasons are part of the pattern and there is purpose for each one. 

A season’s length is most time determined by how long it takes to complete its purpose. (Ecce 3:1, 11)

source: TIM.D

A flower is beautiful in full bloom but before it reaches that point, it has to go through series of changes. First, it is an insignificant seed, then it germinates, then the roots grow; and a seedling pushes through the soil.


So also, there are seasons of change God takes us through in order to develop and bring us into His full plan.

-David spent a season in the wilderness; it developed him to be the King of Isreal

-Jesus spent a season in the wilderness; it launched him into the fulfilment of His ministry on earth.

Seasons are part of life. It happens whether or not we like it, so we must learn to embrace it. Sometimes, the season we go through don’t seem significant, and we wonder why we are there but they are necessary to make us who we ought to be according to the plan of God for our lives. That is why we ought be in tune with God every moment of our lives.

At times, we get an instruction from God to do something, we might not even understand to what purpose, or things might not even be working/ or falling in place yet; you just have to pray for grace then act as you have been led …“ faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it- I Thessalonians 5:24”

God brings us into a new season so we can see Him in a new way that brings forth new fruit in us. By following Him, we grow into the person He created us to be, doing what He wants us to do.

Before I drop my pen, I’ll ask you:

What season are you now?  And what will you say you’ve learnt through it?


Thanks for reading ❤️....hope to read your thoughts in the comments box.

    Wonderful piece. Was hit with the truth that seasons aren't over until their required purpose is accomplished.


    I would say I'm in a season of understanding my Christian heritage.

    I may not know the purpose but thank God he does!!!

    Thank you so much ma.

A SON IS GIVEN

Yayyy! It’s Christmas again💃💃 source: @theunidenticalduo You know why I love Christmas especially while growing up; there is always this mushy feeling everywhere, the keresimesi odun de carols, the lights, decorations, santa clus (well sha, na father christmas  i dey call am o😅), the ‘Mary and Joseph’ stage play in school and yunno what? The new gown and koko shoe was the realllll deal😜. I even coined a name, I termed Christmas, “ odun kekere ” and new year, “ odun nla ” so that I could get my complete package for both celebrations. In fact, you need to see me rampaging with my promise card😂. Oops! how can I forget my favourite, “ ina olorun ”. O-mooo!!! Childhood was lit o, the sweet memories it brings, makes me long for it again and again. But sha, the little girl is still growing and believes that the years to come will bring greater and sweeter experiences. Amin. Pretty more than all the parties, feastings, gifts, decos: this season should remind us of Christ’s birth on ear

TOO FAR BUT NOT GONE (2)

Hello Fam,  In the previous post, I made mention that recognizing Jesus had already forgiven me was the first step to my restoration. In this post, I’ll be sharing what is helping me on my journey to constant victory. To start with, when a believer falls into sin, it is a call for that Christian to check his/her secret place and pay attention to the Holy Spirit pruning…He (Holy Spirit) want you to put that desire in check because making the same mistake another time can put in a greater trouble, probably without remedy . Let's get the ball rolling ✌️ 1.Recognizing I am by myself weak, and I need His strength. Do not at any point of your journey feel you are self-sufficient as that itself is the beginning of downfall. 2. Be unapologetic in your stance and principle as a Christian. Have your own values and stand by them. Don’t try to live a double-standard life. Stand for the truth you believe anywhere, anytime and to anybody. For example, I remember giving warning to anyone that sen

TOO FAR BUT NOT GONE (1)

Hello Fam, Eku one thousand and one years😉...I've missed this space alot. Hmm! God help me in this consistency journey 🥺 I had written this piece since the end of November, 2021...it just found it way out of my diary today. It was a conversation with a friend.  'For though the righteous man falls 7 times, he shall rise again…' ‘For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail. Its root may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water, it will bud, and bring forth shoots like a plant’ I told him my point of view on those verses (an application of it, not it's literal context) and his response to me was “are you planning to fall or slip away from the way of the LORD?”. I smiled then narrated my experience with him, same experience I'll share in this post. It happened that during my housemanship, I got entangled with a guy and some events my dad didn’t endorse followed. I f

CONFORMITY

Image
Hiya💃🤗 Last weekend, as I sat in one of the chairs in my room replying my WhatsApp chats, I reflected through the so many contents/trends and challenges rampaging the social media space, my heart sunk for a while. What even ignited more spark within me was the fact that believers were ‘innocently’ or should I say ‘ignorantly’ participating in the trend. It dawned on me that I was also not spared. How could that be?  *Sighs*  Read on. Did you know that every day, you are faced with forces that competes for your attention and loyalty? In fact, it is either you are being conformed to the world or you are standing out for Christ in the world. Conformity to the world comes in two forms: -actively pursuing to belong/fit in -or passively and slowly compromising your beliefs The first, is to be drawn to the world in all its practices and be heads over heels about it that you begin to imitate. I remember when I recently got into junior school, I wanted to experience the independence and eupho

THEN WHERE IS THE HELP ????

  Ohhh no! It happened again. But why? But why? She shrieked. Her eyes were filled as she moved close to the door. She peeped through the small opening then paced back to the front of the window. “I just hope no one saw me. I don’t want to do these anymore but I can’t just stop, I can't stop, I have tried all means, I’ve prayed a million times, seems God has just decided to shut the door of heaven on all my prayers and effort.  She looked toward her bedside, the sight of her discharge on the dildo disgusted her, then she turned towards the other corner, there, she sighted her old-skinned bible. She looked away at first but then, just like a magnet, she was attracted to the so called “holy book”. She moved to where it lies, picked it up and flipped through the pages not knowing exactly where to open. Her hands froze on getting to page 564 as she was glued to the prints which reads, “my help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth”. She paused, then, whispered in tears, “i

KASHAMADUPE

Oshey!! ✌️ 2020 is waving bye to us already...mehn! it’s been a year full of so much ups and downs but in all kashamadupe. Debhie and her hair😂😂 Things might not have gone the way you wanted, better still, if you were able to get through all your set goals, one thing is still important: GRATITUDE Gratitude changes our perspective, our feelings, our outlook about a situation (good/bad) but you know what? Gratitude is a choice We can choose to complain about a situation, focus on what we lack, wallow in self-pity, feel victimized or even blame others/ ourselves for our failures….but you know what again, it won’t change the circumstance.  Don’t get me wrong o. I am not insinuating that gratitude will come easily or naturally in a crisis. It’s easy to feel grateful for the good things. No one “feels grateful" that he or she has lost a loved one, job, home or good health. But it is vital to make a distinction between " feeling grateful " and " being grateful " bec

BEHIND THE MASK

Image
"For years, I lived with memories of abuse and rape. At age 12, I was launched into the world of sex by my so called "uncle".I was left in the care of this monstrous being since my parents died from an accident. He would molest and sexually abuse me threatening that he would not fend for me if he can't have me.There was no one I could open up to, not really because there was no one but I felt no one will understand me so I endured the pain, and hurt as a child. I became a resilient girl behind the smiling mask, I kept the secret and did what was expected of me to survive the world that treats survivors as perpetrators. I was a chameleon to survive and live again. I hid the past abuse I suffered from my uncle and learned to smile to say I'm okay but within me is so much pain and disgust that I could neither forgive myself nor my uncle". This is the story of a lady I read about few weeks ago. What prompted this writing was the increasing rate of young people i
