MAY ALL WHO COME BEHIND US, FIND US FAITHFUL BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA



MAY ALL WHO COME BEHIND US, FIND US FAITHFUL BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

Whosoever has served in one capacity or the other as a leader before will understand that how we led the team has a way of reflecting in our successor in the future. Consciously or unconsciously, we are contributing something to our generation either it is positive or negative. 

What will be said of us when our generation is passed? Will they not tell stories of our unfaithfulness while in service? 

There are some patriarchs of faith that have passed on but their works speak after them. If they had lived carelessly, we won't dare refer to them today. 

We all remember the story of Paul the Apostle for good today. If you see any Christian not reading his epistles, such will not be able to understand new creation realities. He was confident to say after his whole journey "I have finished my course." 

Who won't remember the story of Dinah? she passed her boundary to visit the daughters of the land and she was defiled. She doesn't have a good legacy to pass to on to the female youths who desire to live rightly in this generation. 

I read some authors who are deceased. When I pick up their books, I feel they are alive due to the message their books pass to me. I can't forget in a moment the encounters I have through their books. 

Sincerely, each time I see youths living negligently, I know they are ignorant of time, they are ignorant that they don't have all the time, they have no idea that some are behind them,secretly following their footprints. They quickly forget that their generation will soon be rolled away. 

When will people remember us and their passion for God will be ignited? 
When will the people coming behind us find the path that we have trod to light their ways? 

Can the footprints which we have left, lead them to believe? 
Can the lives we have lived, inspire them to obey God? 
Can our lives encourage the weary ones? 

O may all who come behind us, find us faithful! 
May the fire of our devotion light their ways. 
May the footprints that we leave, lead them to believe. 
May the lives we live, inspire them to obey. 
O may all who come behind us, find us faithful!

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...
