MUST I GO AN EMPTY-HANDED?

 MUST I GO AN EMPTY-HANDED? 


Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;


But is under tutors and governors  until THE TIME APPOINTED OF THE FATHER.


Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 


But when THE FULNESS OF THE TIME WAS COME, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law. Galatians 4:1-4


Everything in life has their time and season of fruitfulness. Things are fundamentally makes beautiful in their own time.


Once the appointed season and time of certain things expire, it starts experiencing decay and wastage.


A pregnant woman expects her delivery on or few days before the ninth month. Any single day(s) after this appointed time is characterised by worrying, anxiety and fears. 


We sometimes missed our  appointed time and season, opportunity and greatness in life because we couldn't recognise our appointed time of visitation (Luke 19. 41-44)


Hear this please, God told Abraham expressly, "But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee AT THIS TIME NEXT YEAR." Genesis 17.21. God was specific in His promise to Abraham. He was not expecting him to wait endlessly or frivolously. It will be THIS TIME NEXT YEAR. 


Are there time and season we have lost? 


Are there opportunities we have missed?


Are there moment of shining we have allowed to narrowly elude us? 


We may not be able to recall them. But God will open another one for you and I. 


Lord in your mercy, keep me awake, watchful and spiritually alive to my appointed time and season. In Jesus name. Amen.

A DOSE OF COUNSEL FOR ORO AND EGUNGUN FOLLOWERS

Image
I woke up this morning reading a lot of social media posts about the selected dates and days for the ORO festival in the part of the country where I live. ORO is a secluded cultic 'religious' activity. Traditionally, it involves mature males and initiated participants. Women are forever banned from witnessing it, except for hearing it from inside (ETI L'OBIRIN FI NGBO OHUN ORO). Nobody reveals the activities in public. You keep what you see and know to yourself. Nobody exchanges pleasantries about what happened the day before in public. During this time, men do all they can, including appearing like the first Adam in the garden. The absence of women grants men the freedom to engage in reckless behavior. A few days ago, I was shown a TikTok live coverage of an ORO festival in a certain part of the country. Oh! What a sacrilege. An abomination, you would say. It is anti-tradition and a taboo. But that's the world we live in. Nothing seems to be hidden anymore. Smartwatche...

RE: IS THE STORY OF ALHAJI WASIU AYINDE BARRISTER'S CONVERSION TO CHRISTIANITY REALLY TRUE?

Image
  "But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." - Romans 2:29 Since my previous write-up on the above subject, I have received several mixed feedbacks, especially from Christians. Some were ecstatic, praising God for doing such a wondrous thing. However, others opined that such an acclaimed conversion is nothing but a business tactic. They argued that his affiliation with the Celestial Church indicates that he is merely religious and pretentious about his faith in Christ. This group believes that the Celestial Church is not a place to find a true Christian. (Please, wait before you start casting aspersions on anyone.) Meanwhile, as fate would have it, I have been drawn to several of Wasiu Ayinde's songs on TikTok. I am still wondering why I consistently stumble upon his songs even though I do not follow his handle. I can only hope I will not be tempted to start...

TAKE YOUR MOUNTAINS. NEVER GIVE EXCUSES.

 The children of Israel came into the Land of Promise as a conglomerate of twelve tribes. They needed unity to reach that point. But once they arrived in Canaan, each tribe had to take possession of its own inheritance. What you take is what you get. At this stage, collective effort would not suffice—each tribe needed to claim and secure its portion for future generations. God had already given clear instructions regarding what must be possessed: “For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off... I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.” — Exodus 23:23, 27 The command was simple and decisive: to cut them off—to destroy all the people. Only on this basis could Israel take full possession of the land and be free from intimidation. The b...
