ON THE PRAYER AND FAITH DYNAMISM: REJOINDER TO TOBI ODUWOLE (PT.2)

Hello Tobi (and everyone reading), sorry it took me this long to post this 2nd part. Way too much activity that it skipped my mind. Oh yeah, Happy New Month. So, without wasting too much time, here we go wth a continuation of the last post which can be read here: ON THE PRAYER AND FAITH DYNAMISM: REJOINDER TO TOBI ODUWOLE (PT.1) Alright, here we go: Now, for this: “You can pray for 1/2hours or fast for 21 days, it doesn’t speed up the time/God promises over you. the reason why I said your prayer isn’t enough is that we as Christians don’t position our mind or listen to God instruction to prepare us for our calling and breakthrough rather we want to do things our war that isn’t aligned with God promises over life. You can pray for hours and still miss without hearing instruction and see what God is teaching us during a season. Before i used thing before its because I’m not praying enough or reading my bible enough that I didn’t get the opportunities I want but as I start...

Hello Tobi, good day. How are you doing? It’s really been a while since we last saw. I know say your face still never change, and ya bear-bear still small. Beht who am I to judge the authenticity of the connection of your facial foilage? Okay, so I read your blog post here: “ Your Prayer Isn’t Enough” , and I’ll try as much as possible to be as candid as possible in love, as a brother. Everything I will reply you with will be Scripturally backed as well. First off, the headline is an attention grabber, so there’s that. This is your first paragraph: “ In my 5 years of Christian journey, I had this mindset of getting what I want by praying and whatever I pray for what I want I shall receive which isn’t the case in our work with God. All the time, I have seen the people treat God like a genie without actually having a relationship with him and forgetting about him when they receive what they want.” Now let’s look at the Bible. Mark 11:24 says “Therefore I say unto y...

YOU DIDN'T JUST CALL ME SLOTHFUL, DID YOU?

YOU DIDN’T JUST CALL ME SLOTHFUL, DID YOU? In the voice of Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War, “Hey everyone.” Now we’ve got that out of the way, “WAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!” (I still can’t remember who said that, nor the movie it was said in; must be one of the Wayans brothers.) It’s been ages, I know, I know. Hold your horses. Or your cars. Or bicycles. Whichever one you drive/ride-my point is, I had to be away for a while, for some reasons. Am I back? *In John Wick’s voice* “Yeah I’m thinking I’m back!”   Dear John Wick, please, I didn't steal your car, or kill your dog. So, where have I been? I’ve been having my mould broken, both literally and figuratively. Where? Well, at Mouldbreak, duh? Where have you been living, under a rock? Mouldbreak, under the tutelage of the College Director is a place where all your moulds will be broken. You think you know who you are? Think again. In fact, seeing as how your current level of thinking is what is inform...

HOMECOMING, AND SOMETHING ABOUT FOOTPRINTS AND A GAME.

SPOILER ALERT: This will be longer than usual. Not my fault. Thought about breaking it up, but the message is not mine to break. So. Here we go. …..Aaaaaand welcome back. Or am I to tell myself welcome back? Sorry, my dear friends for being away for far too long. I assure you it was not my fault, but I had a difficult choice to make. You know, one of those rock and a hard place kind of deal, so I had to let this go, but only for a little while, because in the end, you never really let go of what makes you who you are. So I apologize. So. How have y’all been? I hope you all have been good. I know times may be hard right now, but I have great news for you. God is on the throne. How is that good news? Well, your Daddy is the King. He is waiting for you, His child, to come see Him. It’s been too long. He misses you. He wants to help you actualize your purpose. Alright. So on Wednesday last week, I was in church. Midweek service. I went straight from work, as usual. We...

STIR IT UP

STIR IT UP Something happened a long time ago. I must have been five or six then; I don’t remember. But I do know it was a long time ago because this was in our former house in the village, before it was painted and renovated. Good times. Simpler times. I remember waking up with the excitement that only the village could give; the morning call of the birds, the gradual rise of the sun. After brushing, we-my siblings and I-all ran to the gigantic udara tree that stood sentinel over our homes, myself, my siblings, cousins and basically almost everyone in the village, save the men and most women. A few people came to pick some of the fruits for their market. Us? We just wanted to have some udara before breakfast. Anyway, I remember our Nanny calling us in to have breakfast. We were already sweaty and a little dusty, but this was the reason we were back home, to get away from it all. Besides, it was Christmas, and we were home to have fun. So, breakfast. Bread and tea. I was in...

THE BEGINNING OF THE END

THE BEGINNING OF THE END Isaiah 46: 9-10 “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure” Good morning family. Today, I have one message and one message only: Prepare to meet the Lord, for His coming is upon us. Hold up. Yes, this may be an uncomfortable subject; a colleague of mine basically flips out whenever I mention this issue. That doesn’t stop it from being the truth though. I was actually given an awakening over the course of this past weekend, and I have not been able to stop thinking, or talking about it since. And I don’t want to, to be honest. Some of you may ask, what’s the big deal? Why do I need to prepare? Why don’t I just wait until a bit later? Let me give you a scenario: you have an interview. Scratch that; I will use me. I rem...

HAVE AN APPLE WHILE YOU WAIT

You know, sometimes you sit back and ask yourself, out of the blue, How did I get here? What am I doing? What is going on? And 9 times out of 10, we don’t have the answer… Good morning, or good afternoon, or good whatever time zone you are in. Are you still in bed? Here, this should wake you up. Wake up! Still feeling drowsy? What, you don’t feel so good? You know what they say; an apple a day, keeps the doctor away. So, just to be on the safe side…   This will keep away a whole hospital. Okay. Good. Here we go. So, sometimes a question comes up in your mind and you begin to question the universe. Well, I have been there, and I was just there again this past weekend. Okay, not on the scale of me questioning the universe, but… Over the weekend I was privileged to witness the wedding of a cousin of mine. A beautiful event. Lovely, absolutely lovely. Made me realize that everyone around me was getting married. In fact, I felt like getting marr- G...
