45th Sunday...Giving A Second Chance???

Song of the week: M. I – Pulling Me Back & Jordin Sparks – Battlefield

Encouragement Verse: “...What are you, O mighty mountain? Before [Zerubbabel*] you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!.” – Zechariah 4: 7 (NIV)

Quote of the week: “Always be willing to give someone a second chance. After all, that’s what God does for you. Now in extending grace you can get hurt and disappointed, but if you're going to be Christ-like it's a risk you must take...” --- [Excerpt from The Word for Today, May 24, 2009]


*I thought really hard about my pick for this ‘song of the week’ - Pulling me back by M.I... [M.I. is a Nigerian rapper that I have so much respect for] before choosing it. I don’t really listen to rap music but this song does it for me. But since I am unable to upload his song I decided to play “Battlefield” by Jordin Sparks…

Have you ever been in a relationship (any kind of relationship) where you know you are been used but you still stick around because you love that person and don’t want to hurt their feelings? That I would write is my recent dilemma…

The actual post I wanted to write was about giving a broken relationship another chance but after last night…I find that I have been hurting myself.

This relationship (with this person) I have found out has become so toxic that I fear that it might contaminate my future relationship. Nothing I will ever do will make them accept me for who I am…they will never be at peace me even if I change who I am.
I tried to give it a second chance but my time has become too valuable to spend so much time feeding a relationship that is already dead and buried…I need to walk away from it.

Prayer: “God, please help me! I have tried my best to show how much I am willing to try to make this relationship work but God I am broken. I need to let go off it or I find I might become so bitter. Help me, God!!!”

**I know my quote of the week contradicts this post but I believe that there are some relationships that are still worth fighting for…and I know and pray that when it is time to back out of the drive way of that relationship, you will do the same. God bless you!

16th Sunday...Am Expecting Triplets!!!

Song of the week: Wande Coal – Jehovah!

Encouragement Verse: “Ask the LORD for rain in the springtime; it is theLORD who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men,and plants of the field to everyone.” – Zechariah 10:1(NIV)

Quote of the week: “When God is about to do something great, He starts with a difficulty. When He is about to do something truly magnificent, He starts with an impossibility.” --- Armin Gesswein

So it is a ‘Sweet Sixteen’ Sunday for me…and I can feel the development within me.


And In case, I had missed the last memos from the head Office of Heavenly Inc. I definitely got the last one, sent by Angel Gabriel.

Other times, I may have ‘throw the baby out with the bath water’ but it would be different this time around…

I just can’t believe it…I am so excited that such a news as this can’t be kept inside my stomach…I have "Tell it on the mountain"

I have begun to dance for joy to life around me…dancing my blessings into fulfillment…

And with Wande Coal, I sing “Jehovah! Jehovah!! Jehovah!!! I no fit shout, me I love YOU! E pass my moouuuth…Olorun Oba, descend on me! “

Have always wanted just twins…but I guess one those prayers (though weak by my own standard) that I said days gone by, definitely rocked Heaven’s gate that I will be receiving accumulated blessings…

Before ko, abeg, how will people know that God has begun to embarrass me with abundance blessings that it is overflows to those around me…?


I hold my tummy as I am aware of the joy moving within me…Each movement, my heart miss a beat…I am just over the moon...

I have waited…Yes, waited (with a capital 'W') like a lot of us have and still are…and I must say that it is definitely is worth the wait…my joy will definitely be complete as each blessing unfolds in the presence of all…
"I'll be making space for my beautiful ones..."

Lord, I will be carrying them to maturity…and I am praying for a safe delivery…


The week of yore…

Monday, I was under the weather…

Tuesday, still under the weather but was able to climb a step higher than yesterday's position in regards to my health…
Wednesday, feeling rejuvenate and still was able to have another ‘Power Wednesday’ (Prayers via Mobile) with my friend…
Thursday, I was told by a lady on my way to work that ‘remember that a man will always have a childlike mind, so learn to accept him and don’t try to change him…’ (This is true wise talk…)
Friday, My ‘Eji Owuro’…God is always faithful…
