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.

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...

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray. CAUTION: Don't pray amiss. The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right? God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning. When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...

LET THEM KNOW YOUR STAND BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

LET THEM KNOW YOUR STAND BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI While I was publicizing my new book (Maximizing your single days and beyond) on the social media, I said I was single. Though I was seeing it from a different point of view due to the information I wanted to pass across about the book, some misquoted me. One of the people I respected so much said, it was better I add my engagement status to save myself from unnecessary distraction. I saw messages popping in. Messages like, "hello babe", someone even said, "don't worry, even if you have nobody, I will take you in." I was like "I don enter am. " Thank God for wisdom in attending to the issue. Later added my engagement status to the article. Majority of those who are shy in declaring their engagement status when asked is because they are still looking for a better option. They are not satisfied with what they have. They are in search of someone better. If what brought ...

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 ...
