HOPE YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE AN EXCUSE? BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA




HOPE YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE AN EXCUSE? BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

REFLECTION:
When my friend gives me excuses why he won't get in touch with me, I simply tell him you create time for someone you love, no matter how tight your schedule is. This is simply true, hope you know? Somewhere somehow, we will always create some time for people that are important to us.


"That you are now so occupied with a lot of activities should not be the excuse for why you don't have time for God anymore. It simply means God is not the first on your list or you don't see Him as being important."

There is no how occupied you may be that you won't find time for your loved ones.
If you love God, no amount of responsibility can take His place in your heart.
You don't have an excuse for your negligence!

Thank God you now have many children you cater for because sometime ago, you were questioning God why He hasn't blessed you with children.



Thank God you control millions in your account because you have always complained that the reason why you haven't been active in church is because you are poor.



Thank God you are now an employer of labour because you have been praying to God all this while that if only He could do that for you, you would have His time.



But if I may ask you? I hope those things are not the reasons why you neglect your personal fellowship now.
I hope they are not the reasons why you give
 excuses for not having time for God again.


If God is the giver of time, I think He deserves part of that time, too.
These days, you go 24 hours a day without having time for God yet you say God understands.
What is there to understand, sir?


Engaging in activities and neglecting the secret place will definitely rob you of His presence.
We know you are busy doing program from here to there but where is the impact of the program, ma?
You keep struggling and rolling your shirts on one demon simply because your secret place is empty. We can't find you there.
You make noises about, carry big bibles and organises different programs but who influences the program?
The reason why you keep complaining that you are too busy to engage God cannot be far fetched. It is simply because your strength lies somewhere else.


Do you want to keep running after winds?
Do you want to keep wasting your time?
Do you want to keep dwelling on past glories?
Do you want to keep struggling over little foxes?
Do you want to keep engaging in mere activities?
Then keep on giving excuses.


But I will remind you that you don't have an excuse.
Much more than before, please enjoy fellowship this month, don't endure it.
Therein your freshness lies.


HAPPY NEW MONTH!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE!

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 ...

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...

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT  A whole lot of things must have been conceived  in your mind before indulging in sex.  That act you carried out was as a result of a lot of mental works that you have carried out in your mind before you finally carried it out.  Here are things to know before sex can actually happen between two people outside wedlock, rape situations excluded please.  1. Men generally, are moved by what they see. So, when a guy visits you and the next thing you do is  to expose your cleavages, wear bum shorts, with just the two of you behind closed doors, honestly speaking, that guy would have a whole lot of dirty things going on in his mind. You are inviting him either consciously or unconsciously.  2. Women generally, are turned on by sweet words spoken to them by men. Yes, we love it when we hear how amazing we are, how pretty we are. When a particular guy showers you with incessant praises, you tend to fall...
