LIVING A LIE!
🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥Though Nigerians are living in denial, the truth yet sticks out like an advertorial,that much more than 3/4 of us are frustrated beyond boiling point,even if we are unable to do anything because of our PENCHANT FOR HOPE...yes,the patience borne by hope,that the politicians are taking undue advantage of.
At this point, I remember R.E.G. Armattoe's poem,"Servant-Kings.
Leave them alone,
Leave them be
Men lost to shame,
To honour lost!
Servant kinglets,
Riding to war
Against their own,
Watched by their foes
Who urge them on,
And laugh at them!
Leave them alone,
Men lost to shame,
To honour lost.
The poem in very few lines represent the attitude of our leaders to leadership.
Under the tutelage of the White man,they bundle our collective destiny into their banks abroad,using the funds to develop their land, while ours from which the loot came lay wasted .
And you see the same people coming through the names of different organisations, promise to help us FIGHT CORRUPTION,while behind the scenes, they're actually helping to ENTRENCH it. Our leaders bow to them, having given them their souls...beggars become givers,and givers become beggars, because they're afraid of losing power...power over their own clansmen...a tragedy unbespoken.
Thus, these theives of our commonwealth send and train their offsprings overseas,only for them to come back to continue from where their progenitors stopped...thus the circle continues.
God,save our souls 🙇🙏😰😭😢!

AM I CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE? PART ONE (ROM.8:28)
🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥🚥
Again, I want to come clean. I make no pretence of being anywhere close to a *nice guy.*
I CONFESS (though egretfully) that I truly do not measure up to the teachings that (only by His Grace and Mercy,) I have been privileged to teach. Yet,even if, I've my personal struggles,it won't bar me from teaching what I know and absolutely believe to be God's Word and Truth.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Rom 8: 28)
Without mincing words, this period(indeed every period) has been very hectic and trying for me,having feasted in tears more than laughter (as always.)
But, I saw something in the same *hectic and trying times* that I haven't seen, or have been seeing but never noted!
I begin like this.
I took a mental trip down memory lane,as has been my habit,but this time around,I went into every classroom I have sat in to learn throughout my entire secular school moments till date. And I found out that in almost every class, I was almost always the cynosure of our teachers' attention, because of the promising future they beheld in me.
Then, I came out of class and went into every office I have ever worked,and what I did with the skills(formal and informal), I acquired...and a floodgate was let open from my eyes.
The cynosure of all eyes,became the most disdained, the most promising became the most written off. With my formal skills,I came out with nothing,the same with my informal skills(photo/video journalim) that later had the potential of taking me beyond my expectations, as regards to the multinational company I was attached to. All wasted away,in my quest for something God didn't clearly assigned to me...*the high life!*
I gave deaf ears to every wise and godly counsel,making enemies of those who were genuinely desirous of a fulfilled destiny for me, while befriending those on the same page with me,yes,those who were craftily wiser than me. To the latter group,I have become a joke and a laughing stock today.
Yes, you find them in every sector of the economy doing well, and today, the reproach that follows the crashdown of high and lofty ideals makes me to hide whenever and wherever I behold them. YET, GOD HAS USED ONE OF THEM TO ASSIST MIGHTILY according to his capability, in my current predicament.
Okay,God then picked me up from the gutter I was abandoned in (or better still, abandoned myself), cleaned me up and set me on the path HE desires for me that I have been fleeing from. And by His Grace and Mercy,I am struggling (yes),to walk and work on that *chosen path* BUT, THE ESSENCE OF THIS STORY TELLING IS THAT; I HAD THOUGHT THINGS WOULD IMPROVE FOR ME,BUT ON THE CONTRARY, IT APPEARS I'M EVEN WORSE OFF, SO WORSE THAT I'M "CHAINED" TO A SPOT FOR FOUR YEARS PLUS,AND STILL COUNTING.
Though, I received a gift out of it,a big gift to me,if you don't mind...I NOW HAVE A DECENT NAME, A DECENT PERSONALITY...NOW, THAT'S BIG!
Nevertheless, aligning my present pains and hurts to the*path*, I am now constrained to ask;
AM I CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE? Because, I reasoned if I was, everything would be working for my GOOD,but I just can't see the good. All I'm seeing is more crises in my life. If you were me, would you think otherwise? Well,yes or no is that answer. BUT I TELL YOU ONE THING...AND IT'S THE TRUTH...I'M ONLY BUT TRULY SEEING WHAT THE ENEMY WANTS ME TO SEE... IT'S SATAN'S DESIRE TO PAINT THAT *NEW PATH* BLACK IN ORDER FOR ME TO GIVE UP AND RETURN TO THE SUPPOSED* HIGH OF LIFE* THAT ALL BUT NEARLY SENT ME TO UNTIMELY DEATHS,THRICE NOW,IN ALL,SO FAR. HE WANTS ME TO CALL GOD A LIAR, A CHEAT,A CRUEL AND UNJUST GOD...BUT, I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR hIM...hE WILL NEVER GET THAT FROM ME...NEVER!
There's someone reading this now,the devil wants you to keep calling God those same names, because he's frustrating and forcing you to see things from his perspective...you are jobless, childless,your bills are piled up,you are sick,no hope of treatment or survival,you are a failure in class...no matter how hard you read,you always fail...business upon business keeps on collapsing in your hand,while others are riding high with the same business,etc... therefore believing and serving God is a mistake,an error of the highest magnitude...just look at guy A and B, look at their houses,cars, investments,wives and kids...they were far beneath me in school...above all,THEY DON'T EVEN GO TO CHURCH,YET THEY'RE PROSPERING!
My friend reading this,you are not the one talking,as a Christian,it isn't you... it's the serpentine spirit superimposing its devilish thoughts in you. Oh, I'm tired,let me end it all...my friend,if you do it,devil will not only laugh at you,he will deny you on God's Great Day...he will tell you,he didn't hold your hand or force you,he only suggested and you agreed...get up now and call him his real name... SATAN YOU'RE A LIAR...FATHER OF LIES,GET BEHIND ME!
When we return,we shall study in detail if as suffering and afflicted Christians,YOU AND I ARE CALLED ACCORDING HIS PURPOSE!
Till then,Amen 🙇🙏!
Am very approachable,but extremely hostile to untruths and hypocrisy. Fervently committed to God's Undiluted Word,by His Grace and Mercy??!
