‘’Laye laye, I won’t take that from you, you are very very unserious. Ohhh you think because I’m gentle abi, I would let this pass too, I will show you that you can’t mess up with me, don’t even try it ni, I’ll deal with you to the point that you will never in your life take my gentility for stupidity. Nonsense and bullshit’’ She walked out of the room boiling in anger. Few hours after the arguement, she just couldn’t get her mind of it, she kept ruminating on what her roommate did to her, ‘’I bet it, I’ll never forgive that babe…I’ll show her who I’m made of” she said to herself. HMMMM! what a scenario! dear readers, can i shock you…she lived up to her words, that grudge was deep seated in her until she realized her heart was in chains. We all get hurt in life at one point or the other and …we hurt other people too. In every instance of social interaction, offense and hurt is almost inevitable whether it is intentional or not. When someone hurt you and you do not forgive ...

It was really a cold night that i quickly lay on my bed to have some sleep but suprisingly, sleep was nowhere to be found, my mind just kept wandering  from one event to the other recalling memories from my secondary school days. The most thrilling was the letter to my so-called "first love". As I remembered the lines of the letter, which reads: Do you love me? Can you love me? Can you give me your heart? With mixed emotions, I thought about  how naive I was then, how prone I was to falling into the danger zone just because I felt I was in love. The shocker was despite the fact we claimed to love each other, our relationship lacked the most essential, LOVE, yeah, LOVE was absent in our love. Weird right? (smiles) Love!Love!!Love!!! has been described as the greatest need of humans. From Cradle to the Grave, people strive after love, thrive in its warmth and even die from lack of it. There has been an endless succession of books ,write-ups and poems about it. Of course, peopl...

Hello Beloved, I deeply apologize for the long time silence here.Though, you have not heard from me all this while, sincerely, YOU have always remained in my heart💝. Also, Happy new 2019, the greater grace of God will manifest in every areas of your life. Amen. I have had the urge to write on this topic few months back but was reinforced in me today, I know this will greatly bless you. "...love me more...", a phrase coined out from John 21:15, "when they had finished eating, Jesus turned to Simon Peter and said: Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" (NIV) Ouch!What a question!! my heart felt cold 😥as I ruminate on this. Do you love me more than these? Many times, we get so much carried away by our quest for 'successes' and allow this distract us from Kingdom interests. No wonder the parable of the sower illustrated how some would accept the word of the kingdom and make initial progress but later, "the anxiety, cares of this world and th...

Hello Friends, I trust you have been good, and I must say I am so delighted😊😊 you are here today. A won derful friend of mine, AKINNOLA FRANCIS wrote this lovely piece, enjoy😁 It is a general believe that water is a universal solvent which is capable of dissolving many things (probably not all) but Water can only clean what is outside. Nevertheless, there is a wonderful solvent that was produced by a brilliant chemist who rolled out this solvent to solve all issues concerning stains, because He saw that water wasn’t able or capable enough to wipe some degrees of stains so He decided to help. This solvent can dissolve all kinds of stains both on the outside and inside. No matter how deep the stain is, this solvent can always wipe it off. My dear, I know by now you would be wondering what sort of solvent is this that can wipe away all stains well I think is time to let the cat out of the bag. This is no other solvent than the precious BLOOD OF JESUS which He shed on the cross of ...

"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...

''...passing along the street near the corner, he took the path to her house in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night, and there a woman met him, with the attire of a harlot and crafty heart... She caught him and kissed him...I came out to meet you,diligently to seek your face and I found you, I have spread my bed with tapestry,coloured linen of Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,aloes and cinnamon. Come, let us take our love unto morning, let us solace ourselves with love...with her enticing speech, she caused him to yield, with her flattering lips, she seduced him. Immediately, he went after her as an ox goeth to the slaughter...''( Proverbs 7:8-13,15-18,21,22) This is the story of the young man and woman whom Solomon peered at through his window that night (Proverb 7:6) Likewise, God looks down through heaven's window upon the son of men and behold He sees a world totally obsessed with immorality and sexual gratification.  One can see th...

"I will never s top loving you" Helen said as she lay on her bed ruminating on the awesome moment she had with Tom, her boyfriend earlier that week. As she was still in thought, her phone rang. On Picking the call, the sonorous voice of Tom was heard. He said '' Hello love, I've been sitting here thinking of how much I enjoyed our last moment together and how much I can't wait for the next, Your voice is so sweet and I could stay awake all night long just to hear you speak, your lips are like the honeycomb, when we kissed , honey and milk flowed out of your lips into me and every time I look into your eyes, I see the reflection of my soul, you leave me breathless every single moment I hold you , but I thirst for more of your touch, I crave for more of your embrace, I want your intimacy, I want to be caught in the web of your love, I want to be more into you, I wanna prove my love further to you if only you will allow me'' On hearing all these, Helen...
