All my life I have always done things because it's expected of me. The expectations didn't necessarily steam from within me but from without; others. And I honestly don't regret any bit of it. But after a tragic event in my area that reminded me once again of the vanity of life, I decided to change the dance; I decided to do something cos it's what I want and not what others wanted. I decided to indulge myself in some past-time passion of mine. So I went into the world of music— not to sound arrogant, but I virtually know a little of my onions about a lot except music, so I went to rectify that. One day, in this "music-world" we had an argument about the delicate topic; "churches".  And someone made this point about his reason for being in his present denomination and why he can't change church that surprised me.  According to him, 'he can never leave his church for a church that his present church is senior to'. {Lol😅} Now, that is prob...

I just want to forget how the whole world seems wrong most times. It's like the more one strives on his own, the more difficult everything seems to appear mosttimes. I ask, why strive when the productivity of one’s effort is futile? Then I came across a passage in the scripture which emphasizes on grace; it speaks that "it's not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of him whom the Lord Almighty showeth mercy". That scripture I believe is the being of most of our existence, cos no matter how much one struggles, if the grace of God is missing in such a man’s life, then all his efforts are futile. And to buttress this, I recall the passage which says; "I will give mercy to whom I want". So, I guess my questions are; 📍1: How do you know such grace has been bestowed upon you? 📍2: Can one obtain the grace if you have not been given naturally, like Jacob was given right form the womb?—cos the uniqueness of Gods' grace is that it will ONLY be given ...

N ow, what’s your take about hell? Do you feel that there’s a special place in hell for the worst kind of sinners? What’s the volt of the light you have received from God and His prophets? The kingdom of God has suffered a lot because of self-righteousness. We claim perfection before our creator deems us so. Forgetting that even great Apostle Paul did not lay claim to such title. It amazes me how humans are so easy to cast the stone at people who we feel are ‘less qualified’ for this race__Eternal life. Well, I have got news for you, hell has got no chambers! Yes…you read right. So whether you are a paedophile, lesbian, homosexual, lair, fornicator, adultery, idolater, or the sort, you are not right with God and unless you make it right with Him, you will find yourself in Hell with the ‘worst’ sinners. I used the word__worst, because that’s how some view others from their saintly-judgmental lens. The ignorance about hell is so deep that a man jokingly said that, ...

 My First Romance In the awkward year, You were near, When the teenage struggles surfaced, Your presence sufficed. In teenage confusion, Into each other, our love fused. In you I found much comfort, That couldn't be bought. To think there was this void, That I just couldn't avoid, Though it's reason I knew not, But, I knew the remedy was not in the north, And that, our come back isn't a race.
