He payed the price He did owe
I owed the debt I could not pay
I needed someone, to wash my sins away
Now I can sing, a brand new song
Amazing Grace, yes Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay!
Imagine minding your own business, just taking a casual walk around the neighbourhood.
Then suddenly you turn the corner and see a crowd beating a man. You are already thinking, “Ah. this one is none of my business, let me pass quietly.”
Next thing they shout, “Hey you! Come here!”
Before you can even process it they push a huge wooden cross into your hands.
“Carry this. We want to use it for him.”
You are just standing there like…
“How did my evening stroll turn into this” ????🤣
Honestly, the story of Simon of Cyrene will always make me laugh a little. One minute he is just passing by, the next minute he is inside one of the most important moments in history.

Exam in 2 weeks, still writing CAs
Slides to read is like a hill.
The ones you've read and forgotten be like mountain
You will read 7pm-7am and you'll feel you've done nothing.
Mistakingly sleeping any form of sleep feels like you've committed sin
This medical practice is hard but
Nah, I don't miss med school
Anytime I make a post that gets thousands of reactions and thousands of shares and people commenting about how much it blessed them and how inspired they are and how they are amazed at how I can relate everyday things to the things of God, something interesting happens to me
I start to panic
And this is because I know how social media works
When you put out something of value, people go and click on your profile to see more
And for those who have been with you for some time, the more you raise the bar the more their expectations grow
So if you drop Rhema today, you better drop an even hotter one tomorrow
And this is where the panic comes from
Because I’m human I always forget and the Holyspirit has to remind to chill because in the first place, the inspiration for the first one did not come from me
And so if He is an inexhaustible well, as long as I am connected to Him, inspiration can never finish
And so when I remember this, I smile and my heart stills
And I wait till he drops the next one
And we all do this
God goes you a Job and you start panicking wondering where transport money will come from
God gives you a spouse and you panic and start wondering if you will have babies
Will the God that made the waters not fill it with Fish?
Will the one who made the skies not fill it with birds?
He gave you taste buds to enjoy the deliciousness of His creation
Oh Jehovah made sure your eyes have rods and cones to appreciate the spectrum of colours
If He pays that much detail to your enjoyment, what makes you think He won’t provide all your needs?
I’m here to remind you to relax
Your Father will provide the next step.
Blessings!
Adults are doing diets and running every morning, but we are packing 10 cubes of sugar into our children's pap. We are inviting type 2 diabetes to a party that hasn't even started and we need to have a serious conversation about our children.
In Nigeria, we have turned a fat child into a sign of wealth, and a slim child into a sign of suffering.
When a child is dangerously heavy, items always "leave him, it is just baby fat, he will outgrow it." But we are making a terrible mistake. We are overfeeding our children out of love.
You will mix a small bowl of pap with 10 cubes of sugar. Or pack sugary drinks, chocolates, and junk inside their school lunchboxes every single day. We are turning their bodies into sugar houses.
Inside that child you are proudly calling healthy and chubby, the heart might be struggling, and the blood pressure rising.
We are punishing a tiny body that is just starting to grow.
Please, let us do better.
- Practice portion control.
- If your child is full, stop forcing them to eat.
- Reduce the sugar drastically, and give them fruits as snacks instead of biscuits and sweets every day.
Your child needs exercise too! It is not always "go inside and sleep" or "sit down and watch cartoon."
Let them run. Let them play. Let us raise a healthier generation. Happy World Obesity Day!
Girl to Girl:
This year, resist the urge to compare yourself with others. Resist the urge to try to live up to people’s expectations instead follow God as He leads

You finish reading some books, and you just feel… satisfied. Like you made the right choice and your time wasn’t wasted at all. And suddenly your standards for what a “good” book is have shifted.
That’s how ANOWERS by Odira left me.
Now every other thriller has to try harder.😔
