Living My Own Romance, Inspirational Novel

I really don't care about the fat checks and huge sacks of Naira notes because I know they'll come at the right time. What matters to me right now is touching lives and helping the lost and hopeless rediscover themselves. You know, life is not a bed of roses but through my pen I try to hand you a rose with a scent so strong, it paves a way through. However, It is okay if you don't acknowledge the great work the Lord is doing through me, in as much as you profess the transformation it's doing in you and spend each day aspiring to live to your greatest potential. 

I am just but a loyal and humble servant of the most high whose greater reward waits in heaven. The righteous like I'm told die with a lot of benefit and let's also not forget the wonderful blessings I get to enjoy right here on earth as well. The truth is, no one quits his or her job and walks about their broke asses each day dedicating their lives to doing the father's work and lives to regret obeying the instruction to do so. And just because I know this and can count on His promises, I am not moved by humans. I mean, human acknowledgment and fat checks just don't cut it, especially when I find myself in the midst of mortals who have sold their souls and lost total touch with the true essence of creation and would do just about anything for riches and self-recognition.

It is okay to be appreciative when you come across a good line gracing my pages but leave all praise and glory to the one who has sent me because the words belongs to him, I'm just lucky enough to be the vessel that banks them. If there's anything I've learnt through my long years in christian-dom and life generally, then it's to give honor to whom due and spend each second humbling myself because the owner of these gifts we possess and boast so much about can take them all away, by just a single snap of His fingers. 

Having said that, I admonish we live each day taking full advantage of the grace bestowed upon us but spend not a single day allowing ourselves to be carried away because that would only be paving way for pride to set in and that my friends is like purchasing a one way ticket to 'self-destruct'. You know, I've spent the past months sharing with you all some privileged information and life drama, and many of which happens to be my own personal story and today I would say, “My blog is about living my own romance and inspirational novel.”

 God bless!

Pulling Down Strange Alters

When we are talking of alters, I want us to know there are so many things that represent alter in our lives. Some started or were raised the day we were born while some started the day we got married just to mention a few and it’s only normal we have a proper understanding of what exactly we are talking about before proceeding, so now the question is, what is an Alter? A alter is a place of connection, it’s a place of power. It can also be referred to as a place of covenant. It’s a place of sacrifice and definitely not a place to joke but a place of auction. Some powers are working in that place and it could be negative or positive. Before alter can come to place, blood has been shed. Like I said earlier, it’s a place of covenant and it serves as a means of connection. And I pray for you that every alter working against you shall collapse In Jesus Name.

A alter like we already know is a place where covenants are been made. Ladies and gentlemen, some people have shed blood in a particular place and have said their children will serve “you”. The truth is, some covenants have been made on your behalf and unless you break that connection, you are tied to that alter because there’s a covenant involved. An oat has been sworn. And a covenant can’t be broken unless the both parties involved come together to agree. I want us to know that the issue of alter is a very serious one and should be taken with all seriousness. There are two types of alters, It’s either you’re operating under an Alter controlled by God or the one controlled by the devil. If yours is controlled by God, I say congratulations but if not and yours is been controlled by the devil, may the power of the almighty set you lose today In Jesus Name.

Why? Satanic alter is a place of destruction while the Alter of God is where destiny is been molded to fulfill its glory. Now having said that, allow me to talk at length on what an Alter really is. I know we now know an Alter is a place of covenant, a place of power but its way beyond that and without taking too much of your time, I will like to break it down for better understanding. First and foremost, an Alter is a place of sacrifice. Any time you approach the alter, whether you are bringing your offering or dancing towards it, always have it in mind that it’s a place of sacrifice. Through an Alter, whether it’s your personal one or not, sacrifices are made to your God or gods, depending on whom you choose to serve.

Secondly, an Alter is a place of blood covenant. It’s a place where covenants are been made. For instance, our fore fathers made covenants with various gods on our behalf and that I must say is the cause of so many problems today. Many made covenants with Ifa, Sango and Obatala just to mention a few. And as Christians, we need to break those covenants before we can be totally free from the works of darkness because an oat was made and covenants are not easily broken unless by the mercy of God. That’s why you see so many women today who can’t give birth because an agreement was made that unless they make sacrifices to the idol of that family or do certain other things unmentioned, they will never hear the cry of a child. This is one out of so many problems faced by many families today but I pray that the Almighty will break every covenant that was made on your behalf that is now affecting your life with his blood In Jesus Name.

Thirdly, an Alter is a place where blood is crying. The good people of the united states of the world, may I announce today that the blood of Jesus is going to speak on behalf of someone In Jesus Name. Whenever a blood is been shed on an Alter, the blood begins to cry. And I’m sure we all understand what it means for blood to cry, it’s a terrible thing. And I pray the Almighty will seize the voice of every crying blood on your behalf and he will set you free from every evil alter that was raised to destroy your destiny In Jesus Name. Furthermore, an Alter is a place of spiritual dining table where food is offered to the spirit. Whether for evil purposes or godly purposes, it serves as a platform where spirits are been fed. For instance, as Christians, we give praises and worship our maker to welcome the holy spirit into our midst, while incantations are been made to usher in the spirit of their gods in evil Alters.

Also, an Alter can be said to be a place of spiritual exchange. As Christians, we worship and honor our mighty God, rendering praises to his holy name and in return he gives us miracles. It’s also a place we make our supplication known, a place we pray and communicate with him in form of prayer request and in return he gives us testimonies and a heart full of Joy. And on the other hand, it also serves as a place of exchange for those who have made up their mind not to follow the ways of the Lord and rather prefers to choose evil over good. There you see people exchanging goats for human lives and little sums for untimely wealth and so on and so forth. For example, according to John 3:16 which says, “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life”, that’s an exchange to redeem our life, and that’s a huge example of an alter been a place of exchange.

Finally, an Alter is a place of fellowship. It’s a place we fellowship in spirit and in truth. It’s a place we worship our maker and fellowship with him; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. It’s a place of connection. We connect with our heavenly father in spirit, I want us to know that to fellowship goes a long way and whether it’s been done the gospel way or the evil way, we become one with whoever it is we are looking up to and makes it easier to communicate with them. So without a doubt, an Alter is a place of fellowship but the question now Is, who do you fellowship with?

Brethren, you must know that an Alter can work for you and can as well work against you. And in most cases, it’s alters raised with evil intentions that work against us. I pray that every evil alter that has been raised from your father’s house, those raised from your mother’s house or maybe it’s the ones from your in-law’s house that has been working against you, may the Almighty begin to pull them down In Jesus Name. You know, according to the book of Colossians 2:14-16, He has canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. In other words, an Alter is a place of deliberation, it’s a place of decision, a place of action and it could either be positive or negative. I want us to know that consciously or unconsciously, alters work against our lives and may the Lord deliver us from evil alters In Jesus Name.

Now, what are the effects of evil alters? To start with, curses can be issued at evil alters, so don’t joke with anyone waging a curse at someone from an evil alter. The truth is, destinies are diverted at evil Alters. It is a place where the devil and his agents pass destructive judgment. Even the children of God are been accused wrongly by the devil and his agents. Basically, people’s lives are been controlled wrongly in evil alters and people working under the influence of such alters struggle to achieve success. Do you know that generations can be dedicated in this alter? The truth is, so many people are living but their destiny is been controlled in these alters. And to put the icing on the cake, most of the things you’ve spent the whole of your life struggling and looking for can be hidden in these alters we are talking about. Basically, it’s a place of destruction, a place of limitation. Now the question is, what’s the way out?

First of all, you need to ask yourself if you notice the presence of any demonic alter in your life and then repent of anything that could have connected you to that alter and renounce your connection to it, if any. Then, go ahead to resist them using the word of God and violently with the help of your prayers, you will kill the priest at that alter. Afterwards, withdraw your name and your virtues from this alter and destroy the Alter by cursing it. Then create a new alter between you and God. However, as I conclude, I want you to know you need aggressive prayers, this is not a child’s play. Get on your kneels and cry out to God and I pray that the Lord will hear your cry and deliver you today from every evil alter that has been raised to truncate your destiny and He will destroy every evil covenant that has been made in the past on your behalf that’s not allowing you live a fulfilled life and wear you a new garment and you will begin to flourish in all that you do In Jesus Name.

What Can't He Do?

I ask myself over and over again if there's anything the king creator cannot do and I'm short of words because my life itself is a testimony to the fact that the Lord can do all things, if only you believe in him and allow him do his wonders through you, in you and for you. Fortunately, this is a topic that has been greatly discussed in our churches, mosques and various places of worship and references have been made to the bible and Quran just to mention a few, but this piece will be taking a different direction as I will be making references to real life situations, so journey with me as I take you through some personal experiences and scenarios I was privileged to witness at some point in my life and hope we learn a thing or two at the end of it all.

So I ask again, what can't He do? What can't the one who took me out of the clubs and reintroduced me to the church after many years of a wayward living, washing away my sins and cleansing my system off the Vodka. What can't He do, the one who took the cancer sticks off my lips despite how addicted I was. I mean, I've been smoking since the year 2000, just when I was about graduating from high school and yet I'm alive and not knocked down by cancer. What can't he do, the one who continuously strengthens me and gives me the grace to drop the cigarette stick each time I'm in the counsel of old friends and pick up the Benson & Hedges pack again, lighting up a couple sticks, he does not turn his back at me in anger because he's patient enough to understand it's a life I've lived for so many years and all it takes is encouragement and more grace to stay away completely.

What can't He do, the one that thought the 'little me' to respect women and not jump in bed with every cute one that catwalks through that door. My life is a testimony to the wonders of the Lord and for those that knew me back then, I'm sure you know what I mean. Some love women, some alcohol, some just love to smoke cigarette and all kinds of drugs and while some maybe addicted to more than one, maybe two but I did it all and excessively that is. I can't count the number of times I was involved in an accident on my way from a club party back in school but not ones did I record a bruise on myself, the car always took the hit for me and I never forgot to show my gratitude, little wonder it always came out shinning again in new paints.

Now let me take you back to the year 2008 when a classmate of mine back in the university almost drown to death during our graduation pool party in some hotel in Lekki, he had himself soaked up in Vodka and that same bottle of liquor gave him a shot back at life. You know, we were all partying and having fun and all of a sudden, Toyin was no where to be found, we just noticed the vodka bottle he was holding was up floating alone by the edge of the pool where he was initially sighted and was left with no breath at all by the time he was rescued and rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. But thank God for God, today he's alive and living happily in the united states and what if there was something God couldn't do that night?.

This is a story I hold so dearly to my heart because I witnessed someone dead been brought back to life so miraculously just at the point of graduation after six long years of hard work and labor and I just wonder what would have happened to his parent, friends and family if God wasn't there to do that which he knows how to do best. So this makes me ask again and with my hands stretched out wide this time, what can't He do, the one who gives a twin baby boy to a family who has been expectant for 25 years and a year later, they are blessed with another set of beautiful twin girls, isn't it marvelous how He takes away the tears of his people, replacing it with a joy that knows no bound. 

What can't He do? I could go on and on making references to the amazing ways the Lord has showed his greatness in the lives of those that believe in him but like I said earlier, my life alone is enough to preach it so why waste more time trying to paint a picture that's self evident, or am I not the one writing this piece. Years back my life was a mess and still cleaning up the mess till today I guess, but one thing is guaranteed and that's the unending relationship with my creator and that supersede every other thing. So therefore, I may be broke today and might be a nobody but I'm not bothered because I believe in the wonders of tomorrow and I know for a fact that there's nothing my redeemer cannot do. And as the scripture goes, "sorrow may endure through the night but joy comes in the morning", the Lord said it, I believe it and that settles it.

The Evil In The World

The evil in the world will make a first class student graduate with a pass, it's that same evil that had a potential medical doctor destined to find the cure of a deadly disease drop out of school to end up on the street. I wish I had the words to qualify the magnitude of these four letter words embedded in the world that we have to contend with each day of our lives but some things are just better left unsaid because I hate to under-emphasis the ache the world has been accustomed with and we can only but ask for grace and more grace that's sufficient for each day. Unfortunately, I've seen the brightest kids grow up to be at the bottom of their class and destiny they say cannot be changed but delayed. Well, in my own perspective and looking from an enemy point of view, since it can be delayed, why then worry so much about changing it when we can just frustrate him to an early grave. Now let's be logical, what other changes needed to be done when someone destined to be a lawyer is frustrated to the extent of pushing trucks by the road side and eventually meets his end by the failed brakes of a reckless driver.

You better wake up and stop fooling yourself. I mean, changed or not, what good was it anyway, after all, they ended up not fulfilling their purpose on earth and are now lying six feet under the ground. Well, I don't know about you but I like to see myself as a realist and not get filled by the lies fed to us. The truth is, the more sophisticated the world gets, the more sophisticated the evil in it. Back then, all you had to do was get on your kneels and pray to God and maybe go a day or three days of fasting and there would be a swift solution to your problems, but these days, you'll need to climb up a mountain and walk down a couple of times after you must have undergone a twenty one days of dry fasting just to get an insight of what the problem even is, talk more of what the subsequent steps will be if there were to be any luck of you coming close to finding a solution.

You know, the Panadol that will initially step down malaria cannot even get rid of a slight headache anymore, it just comes to show that the world has become the battle of the fittest and every segment of it has been upgraded and even our pastors have to tighten their trousers properly to cast out a single demon. And the truth is, the world is incomplete without it, I believe it's a way of God moulding us to be the lieutenant and generals he created us to be. Without evil, we won't fully brace ourselves up and know His true worth. So therefore, my writing this piece is not to acknowledge the evil in the world because I believe even a baby newly born into the world comes prepared knowing there are challenges and hurdles ahead to scale through. So if you ask me, am basically writing this piece as a reminder or better still, a wake up call for us all to change our approach to life so we don't end up dishing ourselves in the enemy's plate for them to devour. No doubt God owns our lives and watches over us but we too have a major role to play in it. Even the bible and the holy Quran makes us understand that God helps those who help themselves. So I ask, what are you doing to save guard that precious life given to you?

To overcome the world, first you have to acknowledge the evil in it and be well strapped to go toe to toe with it. But then, I will not tell you who to hold on to because we are all people of different culture and religious backgrounds and the fact am a Christian doesn't give me the right to condemn what you believe in, I can only help show you what the right path is and where following that route leads to. So rather than force my options on you, I only admonish that you to hold on tight to what you believe in and hope you find comfort and safety there. But for me, I've chosen the Lord as the author and finisher of my faith and you can as well, after all, you don't need any permission from anyone, his hands are widely opened and ever ready to accept you into his gates.

And with that said, I also want you to know that it is not just about accepting Jesus, Mohammed or whoever it is you call your God. Like I said earlier, you have a huge role to play too. How do you treat your fellow man, would you destroy or take his life if you had the chance to? What evil words have you prophesied in the life of a fellow human because he hurt you or took something that belongs to a friend? These and many more questions are what we need to ask ourselves and if guilty at any point, then we should be worried because the truth is, the evil we do always finds a way of coming back to us. Remember, when you point a finger at someone, the raining fingers points right back at you and that's why it's so easy for the enemy to destroy and end your life. Basically, whatever you sow is what you'll reap, period. God is not dead, you can't help secure the life of others and someone in the dark takes yours. He's not just going to sit there and fold his arms and watch that happen. And if by any chance he does, then be rest assured that you've paved a way somewhere along the line for that to happen.

It's an eye for an eye, if you live by the sword, be rest assured to die by the sword. You may have given your life to Christ after many years of a wayward life that had you take lives and now living a righteous one, but that doesn't stop the enemy from taking yours when they come for it because you're only paying for your deeds. The only difference is that your heaven has been guaranteed. Many in that scenario would question why God will allow that to happen but then we are so quick to forget that the man that was killed also has a God. Guess that explains why we should be very careful with the choices we make because our past never really goes away and I wish I could go on and on but a word they say is enough for the wise. I conclude, the evil in the world will have a pastor molest his congregation. Apparently, no one is left out of the circuit. The more calling on you, the more the temptation brought your way. And by the way, I purposely used an anointed of the Lord as the case study so that we would know what a little distraction can cause and we can only but continually ask for grace and his grace I pray will be sufficient for us each day.

We Are The Body Of Christ, Don't Divide It

According to Google, Christianity is the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. In addition to that, Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah sent by God. They believe that Jesus by dying and rising from the dead made up for the sin of Adam and thus redeemed the world, allowing all who believe in him to enter heaven. Now my question is, do we really follow the teachings of Christ as expected of us as his followers or we are actually the ones as Christians intimidating and tearing each other apart?

Well, I can't speak for you but I sure can for myself and it baffles me when we talk about racism in the world when the real racist are within the four walls of the church. I mean, I'm totally amazed at why churches would speak against each other, pointing fingers at things done or shouldn't be done the way they are, all in the name of trying to justify themselves as the real followers of Christ and I just wonder why we can't leave that to him to be the judge of that.

Crazy right? Well, maybe not but this and a few other concerns gave birth to some changes in me and now am often asked why am not a regular at Sunday services and would rather just go for the Tuesday Anointing service with Pastor J.T Kalejaiye and the answer is pretty simple and that's because am at peace each time I set foot into the auditorium because invitations are not just extended to the members of the Redeemed christian church of God but the doors are opened to all, be it Christians, pagans, touts, even Muslims who wants to hear the world of God are not excluded.

Undoubtedly, that gives me so much joy unlike other gatherings where a guy with studs can't worship comfortably without been condemned at first sight and I just wonder how he's meant to be saved and consumed of the holy spirit when he's been pushed away at the closest he came to being liberated from his old ways and the lies the world has sold to him. So I ask again, why do Christians side line each other and would rather divide the body of Christ than protect it?

The truth is, until we know that we serve one God whose only begotten son died for us and are able to confirm with the fact that regardless the church or our religious background that we are one, I rather choose to know God on my own because we are only but hypocrites and it's just so sad. I mean, it breaks my heart when utterances are made against churches from one church to the other and yet we claim to be following the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ when we exhibit a total different trait and a highly questionable one at that.

Apparently, the same way a celestial church would preach against the protestant church is the same way a protestant church will preach against the Catholics and I just wonder if a different "Jesus" actually died for them. It's just so sad and until we can all find a common ground and learn from the Muslims, we would all be hypocrites hiding behind the name "Jesus" and that doesn't make us any different from those who prosecuted him on the cross, only that this time we are ignorant of it.

A word I say is enough for the wise. Christ is one and so is his church, so lets stop dividing it and all call on him as one. Whether you're catholic, a protestant, a celestial or even a pagan, you belong to the body of Christ for there's still a chance for you to repent before the trumpet sounds. Quit condemning the beliefs and ways of other churches, remember, who are we to judge. Let's leave that to the Almighty and do that which is expected of us; the great commission which he has kept in our hands to do. And that is preaching his words and reaching out to the lost souls, that's what you've been commissioned to do. God bless!

When My Pen Bleed

Souls are guaranteed to be liberated when my pen bleed and this isn't a question of how I intend doing that but a matter of when he needs me to get it done. Am in sync with the creator and we can say am a voice that needs to be heard. Apparently, the world has fed us with a lot of lies and even when we know the truth, we rather choose to fall for its manipulating tongue. Now there's a little or no fight at all between right and wrong because the last time I checked, statistics of point scored has greatly tilted to the negative side and we can only but wonder how soon we would get knocked out by life.

It's crazy and highly unbelievable how we've stooped so low and allowed ourselves to be over ride by our right to our own will and are unarguably misusing the grace that has been given to us but let's not forget that no matter how big a storage tank is, if there's no power supply to pump for a refill, the tap runs out. For instance, in recent years, I've been living with an hacked school of thought that was greatly infected with the world's most dangerous virus and was left with a messed up mindset that had me heading for an emergency crash land and if not for grace, where would I be, talk more of writing this piece.

Time is too short to be wasted and you're not guaranteed the next minute, so why not use the seconds wisely. I've heard a couple stories of people dying and been restored back to life after given the privilege of having an encounter with the agent of death and a quick glance at what heaven and hell looks like but I don't need to travel that far to know that people prefer the raining season when there are light showers and that cool night breeze that curdles us to sleep to the extreme heat that the summer sun burns our beautiful skins with.

Basically, where you intend spending your holidays when you're on that permanent leave from life and your soul has been taken away from you is a matter of choice. You can decide to join the train with me this day as we take a ride through wrong and right and let's begin to retrace our steps back to our maker and make corrections where we must have missed it earlier in life. Remember, missing a call from someone we owe doesn't mean we purposely neglected it, but not putting a call through after we must have seen the missed calls when we are not restricted by the lack of airtime is what raises eye brows. 

In other words, you still have a chance to make things right as long as you're still breathing. Make that call to your mother who you're so mad at and haven't spoken to in so many years. Tomorrow might be too late and you sure don't want to live the rest of your life in guilt knowing you had the chance to make things right today. And maybe you're an employer of that beautiful lady that was sacked because she refused to play along and allow herself to be harassed and molested by your ungodly hands. Well, today is that day that your conscience has been waiting for and that's if you've got one anyway. It's time to make things right when you still can.

I really wish I could go on and on making references to different life scenarios we could have gone wrong but at this point I choose to leave us to our conscience to be the judge of how faithful we've been exploring our options and if we've gone wrong in any way, I advice we purchased a first class ticket to be a part of this joyful ride initiated by this piece, as it hopes to leads us right back to the Lord's heart. It's a privilege to be a chosen vessel, especially when you're partnering with God on a project that creates a platform that allows the people to absolutely be themselves, expressing their true feelings and sharing it with the world.

And for those who still wonder, well I’m a Christian but not the type that points a finger at Muslims, pagans and even the idol worshipers because I believe we were all created by the same God and for a special purpose which the world wouldn't be complete without. Ostensibly, when my pen bleed, I speak the truth about things that we shy away from in our churches, mosques and various places of worship.
