He Knows Best

Lemme quickly share something with you.
Did you ever pray so well for something and you didn't receive an answer from God on time or you feel God didn't even grant your requests?
Let me quickly share something with you.
My mum came visiting few days ago. As usual, she's always happy coming to see her grandson. She will always buy different kind snacks for him. This time, she did the same. You should know how grandmothers relate with their grandchildren, sometimes you'll even feel jealous that why didn't they treat you like that.

This little boy finished two juices which his mom gave him. He was to take them one at a time but he did otherwise. His grandma gave him another juice too later that day. He ate different kind of snacks.

The next day, he started purging. This got me worried. Well, I later sorted it out. So, I decided not to give him any sugary things again, no matter how he cried. No juice, no biscuits, no snacks until he's no more purging. Had it been that he didn't take all those snacks he took, he wouldn't have been messing himself up with his watery shit.

Many of us are like this little boy, always asking for snacks and sugary things from God and which are dangerous for our health. You maybe asking to be rich like Otedola, God knows you will purge (that in this case means you may go astray after getting rich. You may neglect God.) so he won't give you.

You maybe asking God for a wife. That wife can make you purge if you're not patient till when God plans that you won't purge. (Purge in this case as in your regretting going into that relationship, your marriage crashing at a point, etc.)

The little boy will think I don't like him whenever I don't give him juice or snacks. Likewise when we think God doesn't care about us or love us. God knows what's best for us. He knows what we need at that moment. Be patient, God will surely do that which you ask. The Bible says, "God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you could ask of him, according to the power that worketh in you". Halleluyah!

18? 18. 1. I wanted to be 16 forever. For some people, 18 is the "grown-up" age, but I think mine was 16. It was a year of revelations and changes. No, I didn't make any special achievement. I just had a rude awakening, I had a mental and emotional transposition. I knew I had to be 'someone'. 2. I am writing this for me, but it is to you. To anyone who would care to read. It is the most personal piece I've ever written so far. I have a story, and I will tell. "Until the Lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter" _Chinualumogu Achebe 3. I was born on a Saturday, 18 years ago(or almost) People tell me I look and act older than my age. Indeed, I've always felt older, mature, mentally, emotionally and even physically and not till another person told me I look exactly my age, did I think otherwise. 4. I started writing this, the morning of October 4. I've always had plans to wr...

WHO AM I?

By
WHO AM I?  My name is Victor Olofinluyi. I am a from a prestigious family. A family with a great name, honour and respect. I am also the last child of the family so I am accustomed to being around primarily adults. I was always mature for my age.  In secondary school I was known for many attributes and talents. I draw, I create birthday cards for my friends in School. I was quite creative. I was also known for a good leadership spirit. I was chosen as the class captain in all of my secondary school years. In my final year I was chosen to be the senior perfect boy. I feel that is not enough to be an achievement. Many people believe in me, my friends and my teachers, they invested in me with their time and dedication - my Mathematics teacher, my physics teacher. My parents invested in me too. Their dedication and my determination was rewarding. Luckily, I had an excellent result in my jamb/utme.  My favourite sports are football, tennis and volleyball. I love Sp...

The Conversation Series: The Teenage Limbo 2; with Fadun Toluwawumi

By
In the concluding part of the conversation with Fadun Toluwawumi,  Read the first part here she talked about her experience with peer pressure and she thinks the biggest challenge for a teen is the struggle to be understood. Read below;  Question: How did you deal with peer pressure? A : I've always believed I'm different from the rest so I can't follow what others have to say about me. My background was a constant reminder to not get engaged in some things. I have been taught some certain truth from the home so my friends saying something similar didn't appear right. I always remember there's a punishment for any mistake made because I have disciplinarians as parents, that alone helped me deal with peer pressure really well. Question: On the vices, Yahoo, moral decadence, indecent dressing, what is your opinion?  Any advice for the teens? A : One thing I've come to notice is, teens, believe whatever they do is right which makes it hard ...
