On today's episode of Lagos is not a real place;
Last day of work for the year and were spending it packing out our things from the office because the court has possessed the whole office building.
Landlord has been notified for two years now btw

The bathtub in my home is a very mysterious object
I’ll explain
So typically I wash my bathrooms every week. And Friday evenings are my wash days.
Sometimes the week is so stressful and that is the last thing I want to do. And my husband will say “you overwash everything babe”
“The bathroom is not even dirty. It’s spotless. You don’t need to wash it this week.”
And the honest truth is if you enter my bathroom on days where I’m shouting I need to wash it you would be wondering what I want to wash. Because i still do daily maintenance throughout the week. Friday is just the main overhaul wash day.
Here’s the thing though. From a distance it looks picture perfect. But after a week of use, if you go close to the bathtub you would see that it’s not so perfect after all. You would see residue of soap and soap suds.
Anytime I’m washing it’s funny to me. Because I’m like how are these residue not obvious from a distance
And yesterday the Holyspirit said “aha” this happens to us too
From a distance you look like an ok Christian untill you go close to the Father. The closer you go the more you find out that it’s not just enough that you don’t insult. He starts talking to you even about your tone.
He starts telling you that it’s not enough that the dress you’re wearing covers your body well. He points to your heart that was feeling better than the lady seating next to you because your dress was more expensive.
Then he tells you pride and worldliness are seeping in.
He tells you it’s not just enough you showed up at Choir practice that week but that you came late when nothing kept you back home and you’re becoming unfaithful
So someone would see you on the outside an give you excellent as your christian score.
Because your social media page is filled of properly curated bile verses and “daughter of Zion” as your headline.
But if you go closer to the Father, you’ll see your flaws. Here’s the best part. He’s not showing them to you to make you feel bad. He came close because He wants to wash you. He’s trying to tell you, “you think you’re white now? Wait till I wash you
More”
I urge you Saint, come closer to the father.
Blessings

@DarijokeO@mrmacaroni@PoliceNG Truee... I know for a fact and from experience that it infuriates them to see anyone trying to record them. But they forget that nobody will record for evidence if they were doing the right thing.
Your words and actions will always have consequences. You pay for what you've done to others. If not today, tomorrow. Sadly, with social media we don't realise this. Then we wonder what we're paying for. Go back and search. You will find it.
