Grounded in Love.

Am I dreaming?" Zera retorted, while being served high-class cuisine by a round-faced, statuesque hostess in the exquisite first-class cabin of a brand-new Boeing 747. She was the only passenger onboard, receiving pristine care. Suddenly, her inner conversation was drowned out by the baritone voice of the pilot: "Alas, we are still carrying out some checks... we will have to wait until this is over." Checks? This is taking too long! When will I be cleared for takeoff?" Then she heard a voice, like the sound of many waters, whisper to her, "I am disengaging you from your enemies... you are the cause of the delay; in fact, your mouth has been the cause of the delay." Zera woke up with mixed emotions. "So, it was a dream," she wondered. However, she sensed within herself that it was a divine light to her inner conversations with God earlier in the week. She called me early that morning to share her encounter with me. Unknown to me, her story would b...

Chapters of My 'Real Steel' Fight.

Chapter 1- The Real Steel Fight . Thoughts smashing thoughts, voices smashing voices... I could only muster the words faintly: 'I am tired!' Now, I'm vexed within, being grievously tempted to turn stones into bread ๐Ÿž...this offer is too juicy to ignore or Am I power drunk? It sounds worse than it is, Lord; I am desperate!!!๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ž.  Frankly, this is my own version of the 'Real Steel’ fight.  Watching the 2011 science fiction sports film directed by Shawn Levy, I was empowered and enlightened to garner some divine wisdom to help knock out my unseen opposition. In the movie, Charlie Kenton, a former boxer, became a promoter of robot boxing. However, he struggled with his own personal demons, including desperation and distractions, leading to a string of losses. He was able to grow and become a better person, overcoming his losses when he gave up his ego to humble himself. By learning from and cooperating with his son, he discovered the value of pure, undiluted wisdom, innoc...

Morning dawned and with it came a newness of life for me. I woke up drenched in a beautiful melody streaming from my 'disney-like' animated dream. With a charming smile, wide- eyed innocence, can- do attitude...positive attitude of mickey mouse, I hopped out of bed!  The reverberation in the room could crack my Easter eggs๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿฆธ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ ...I thank God my mind recorded a significant part of the heavenly lyrics...  Just like an Amazon Parrot perks all up at the sound of its favourite music singing, gleefully my mouth and my heart were singing together with perfect synchrony... " with your head lifted up and a smile on your face, your heart light up keep on moving keep on moving in Faith.." Good Lord! I just received a divine gift of a new song timely for the season (waiting to be cooked in the studio ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ), much more this inspiration has also translated into my recent posts entitled; Keep on moving in Faith.  Convincingly, I have stepped out into the faith life with Jesus...

Oh..will the sun shine today? I felt used and dumped by God. Still ruminating on how my favorite fashionable strappy high heels ( not sky- high o๐Ÿ˜€) slippers abruptly ripped open from the heel while I was passionately delivering a message recently in front of a congregation at church... Ugh๐Ÿ˜ฉ..but I felt an unusual inner sense of confidence to continue and never look down to check lest I distract the audience to do likewise and discover the 'mess'. So, I continued and suddenly the people erupted with laughter at a statement I made. God! That became my escape route. So, wisely, I left the stage when the ovation was loudest. I stylishly dragged my feet and cat- walked๐Ÿ˜€ to my front seat...hmm...thank God for the divine lesson on poise under pressure ๐Ÿฅฐ . I felt disgraced but I wasn't disgraced! My meticulous husband was in awe when I narrated the whole ordeal on stage to him...he didn't see any mess rather he convincingly said he was blessed!   Chai...God! Thank you for b...

Ore mi ni ( He is my Friend).

I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock And established my steps. He has put a  new song in my mouth - Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord. Psalm 40; 1-3 . I went searching for real satisfaction, tried many things but none could fill me until I realized that emptiness is life without God's love. This is indeed my story, this is my song!  Like a joyful newly delivered mother, I give God all the glory for the formal launching of a new purpose the Lord assigned to me, even so, I'm blessed to have the loving support of my wonderful husband ๐Ÿฅฐ.  This new divine assignment is the Olive Global Ministries (OGM), a faith based Christian non profit organisation based in Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria. Our mission is to connect with people throughout the world in order to share the love of God, propagate the gospel by comp...

Oh! I miss her.

Oh God! My neighbor's precious nanny-goat died of complications during labor yesterday! I can't fully explain my feelings right now...just tepid☹️. You might ask, what's my business with my neighbor's goat? Well, I miss her early morning rhythmic bleats( she calls out to her owner for food that way), I can't forget her positive peaceful eye contacts. She throws gazes at me from her stall anytime I'm at the balcony watering my plants and I usually respond with a smile admiring her pretty brown spots while she was feeding. The feeling was mutual I guess๐Ÿ˜Š. She played a major character in some of the animated training sessions facilitated by the Holy Spirit. I narrated this in my previous post titled; I'm too grateful to be silent!. I thank God I did.๐Ÿ˜˜ Just wondering...how did they dispose of the body? (Certainly not in a pot of pepper soup or ogbono soup.. ๐Ÿค”). I am so grateful to God who made our paths cross and graced me with the sensitivity to observe and ...
