GONE BACK HOME BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

I was in my room one night and I was hearing this song from afar. I guess it was sang in a wake keep service for the dead.

"Baba rele o, ile lo lo tarara. Ile o, ile ogo. (Daddy has gone home, he has gone home straight, the glorious home).

I began to wonder which kind of home baba has departed to? If you attend any burial or wake keep service, and you do not hear the song here in Nigeria, it means they haven't sang at all. Expect them to sing it later.

As melodious the song could be, if baba has not lived his pilgrimage days here in the lord, forget it because he has not gone to the glorious home.

No amount of sermon, prayer and service of songs can help the deceased. He is gone and gone. You can't help him at that instance. Baba can only be helped if his breath has not ceased.

You may be here dancing baba has departed to his glorious home while on the hand, baba has not gone to rest. This is because he didn't die in the Lord.

If baba has lived his days on earth in God, he will be quickened at the end and he shall reign with God and if he had done otherwise, fears and torment awaits him at the end when God shall judge the living and the dead.

Back to us that are still alive and sound. I want to congratulate you because you have not died like baba. You can still move your hands and legs and you can still talk. Glory to God.

Why don't you go down on your knees now and pray that God will have mercy on you. Accept him as your lord and saviour this day so you can find rest in him.

Come to Him today and He will by no means cast you away.

Don't end your journey outside God.

Blessed are those who die in the Lord.

THE POWER OF IMPURE THOUGHTS BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

THE POWER OF IMPURE THOUGHTS BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA "When a man constantly feeds on impure substances, he is simply feeding his heart with garbage." Impure thoughts are powerful such that they render you incapacitated in the things of the spirit. They have a way of captivating your heart and making you see no need for pressing deep into the realities of the spirit. Those articles you have downloaded and digested can't add any substance of value to you, but would rather take away vital substance from you. Those disgusting discussions you have engaged yourself in will only impair your vision. Show me a man who has been feeding his heart with garbage, and I will show you a man who has been held captive by this garbage. You can't continue to sow impure ideas and expect to reap pure meditation. A man who engages himself in impure thoughts would only be a stumbling block to his growth. No wonder you have been entan...

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy. I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me. So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms. For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things. A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

FLEE! BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

FLEE! BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA Let's start this way! What is flee? Flee means to run away; to escape. In other words, run for your life. You think you still need to pray about it when God says flee? That prayer of yours is foolishness when the word already says flee. That lady came into your room in the night half naked and you started speaking in tongues. Will tongues chase her out at the moment? What can we call that act of yours, sir? That man keeps giving you questionable attention, yet you continue to collect gifts from him instead of you to escape for your life. When you accidentally bump into porn sites and you feel reluctant to leave, what are you supposed to do? Please flee. Don't feed your eyes with evil. You don't need an audible voice to tell you that you are in danger zone when youthful lust comes knocking at your door. Flee is the instruction given in the word of God. D...

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms. Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts. One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...
