Grey Stripes Of Sarah

THE SHORT MAN SERMON It was a Sunday evening, one of those evenings the youths and singles come together to talk and pray about their future marriages and life issues generally at Jesus, Saviour Church. One of the youth pastors, Pastor Ray, had a way of asking questions that triggered discussions and contributions.  One question that evening was 'What's that thing you can't stand in a guy ladies?'.  Almost all the ladies had something to say. One that fascinated the young congregation so much as the one dropped by 5ft.4 tall,  elegant and beautiful lady.  She's so beautiful that when she rose hands to speak, all eyes followed her. She stammered for a moment but the young men encouraged her ( at least if they know it, they will drop it before they come proposing to her). Unfortunately, what their beautiful sister said was nothing they could drop or do some about if they had it. She said with  'My name is Mabel and I just can't stand a ...

                                                                          BUCKET LIST: PLANS VERSES REALITIES Happy new month, new week, new Monday, new newness dear readers. I am super duper excited and expectant about this month. Are you? Well, let me show you something to start the month. Seat belt on, car starts,  are you ready!!! Before I show you, let us talk about this bucket list thingy first.  Just so you know, a bucket list is a list that contains some necessary stuff you are crazy about doing within a specific time. Some experts say it's a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket (die), seriously, I am not ready ...

  I came to hate all my hard work here on earth, for I must leave to others everything I have earned. And who can tell whether my successors will be wise or foolish? Yet they will control everything I have gained by my skill and hard work under the sun. How meaningless!                                                       (Ecclesiastes 2:18-19)  WOW!!! You are a leader, A great one at that with trumpets here and there about your many accomplishments.  Unfortunately, I bring you a sad newsletter to your working desk. You won't remain a leader forever, at least not in that same position or office. Someday you will leave that office, one day you will drop that title, people will stop blowing the trumpet about you and someone else will take over and occupy that leadership seat and like preacher asked ' And who can tell whether y...

                               WHO STOLE THE MEAT FROM THE COOKING POT   Does this remind you of a childhood game? Very well, I suppose. It was a childhood game where we never saw who stole the meat from the cooking pot. Everyone kept passing the blame. ‘Oh me!’ ‘Yes, you’ ‘It couldn’t be, number 5 stole the meat from the cooking pot.’ On and on the search or interrogation for who stole the meat continues as different numbers are accused of it.  Who actually stole the meat from the cooking meat? It is not surprising that this question grew up with us into adulthood. We hardly admit our faults.  'Who did this?' 'Not me oh!' with our two hands raised in the air. 'It can be Nonso oh, go and ask him'.  This reminds me of what happened in my friend's offic some weeks ago. It was a very ...

In advance!!! It is few hours to Valentine. I am super excited ehn, no be small and I do not want to go all mushy mushy about valentine this year not even one bit,  well, So I said to myself,  let me tell you a silly story about my valentine some years ago, when I was a teenager that had crushes and was happy 'burning' round life with no fear of relationships and all. Enjoy! (but please, kindly drop your comments and subscribe to this blog after reading) Valentine day that year fell on a lovely Sunday. That Sunday morning, I and my family were preparing for church service as usual. During breakfast, very unlike me, I ate to stupor and that's because I was really hungry. Why? Well I would just say I was being 'Stubborn', I deliberately decided not to eat on Saturday night because I was angry with everyone in my house; my pastor asked us to come with a gift on Sunday and my elder sister broke mine accidentally that day and it was impossible to get an...

Until the scripture becomes life to you, you have not learnt it yet. Until you comprehend the words of the scriptures, you may never fully live it. Until you see others live your weaknesses as their strengths, you may never overcome nor have enough faith needed to overcome them. It is easy to have a bank of memory verses in one's heart and yet war fiercely to exercise them. Do you agree? Turn your Bible to Proverbs 3:27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. What if they don’t deserve it? What if you’ve been fooled once, twice or thrice? What if you think the Lordu understands this as your weakness? Well, welcome to someone's world The coldness of the room, the comfortable bed, the silent night, the dim lights and the dreamland pillows made Tasha slept beautifully well. It has been ages she had 'the Jesus sleeping in the storm' kind of sleep. She was really enjoying it until her alarm clock rang. ...
