I HAVE ALL IT TAKES AND I DON'T THINK GOD IS NEEDED BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA


I HAVE ALL IT TAKES AND I DON'T THINK GOD IS NEEDED BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

Reflection



*Some years ago, while I was seeking admission into the university, I could read for long hours thinking that alone could grant me a good success. 

I didn't think that God would be needed once I am able to master my book.
Don't forget, that is necessary, too, but when God factor is not there, you can't have a good success. 
I failed sometimes, while at other times, I wasn't given any admission. 
It got to a year that I shifted my gaze from myself to God.
I submitted my ability to God's sovereignty. 
And then, I read and I also didn't lean on my own understanding. 
To cut the long story short, I was given the admission when I least expected it.
I couldn't boast any longer since I knew God did it. Glory to God!* 

*So many of us make God our last option or an alternative when other options have failed.
God shouldn't be our last option but the only option we have *

*God will never wrestle with man to submit his sensuous wisdom to Him and learn to trust only in Jesus who is the wisdom and the power of God*

*God is not interested in people who is still gat all the strength but those who are dependent on him.

*When you still have the capacity to take, even as little as 1% of God's glory, He won't share His glory with any man. You can go on and have it*

*If the only time you pray is when the issues of life sap you of your strength and toss you about, then you are proud because it simply implies you are self-sufficient.*

*We can't  use God to get on in our ways*

*Not until we are drained of our strength, the journey with God hasn't started *

Are you there and you have all it takes to be successful in your field but you don't see any reason why you need God?
It will be clear very soon that you are only gathering rubbish.

Are you there and the only time you remember there is one God somewhere is when your exam is nearer? Hmmm, God cannot be mocked.
He wants fellowship with you everyday and not only during exams.

Are you there and the only time you remember to pray is when you need something from God?
True sons are not only interested in getting things from their fathers. They also want fellowship.

Are you there and you call your marriage a 'successful one' but God is absent, it is only a mirage.
Don't wait till storms arise before you know that God is indispensable.

You can't continue this way friend!
God cannot be mocked.
Whatsoever a man sows, that also shall he reap.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
Do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct your path.

God desires true worshippers that would worship Him in spirit and in truth.

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...
