I was this close to m@sturbating last month.
Let me tell you exactly what happened.
I was on my phone, trying to catch up on social media then a thought dropped in my mind “why don’t you touch yourself?”
I heard that thought loud and clear.
And to be honest, I considered doing it for the first ten seconds but not long after, the scripture “your body is the temple of God” dropped in my spirit.
I immediately started confessing the words loudly, not in my thoughts but out loud.
Because someone once said, you dont battle thoughts with thoughts, you battle it with words.
So I raised my voice and repeated that scripture over and again until that thought was brought under captivity—was silenced.
My love,
I totally understand that urge to do it. Ive been there a couple times.
But guess what? Christ nailed that urge to the cross. He said it is finished.
M@sturbation has no hold or control over you. Those thoughts are not yours and they hold no claim over your life.
My love,
Stop fighting with your strength, instead put your trust in God.
Give yourself to the word and prayers
Because the devil will surely try to play smart but you outsmart him by the word, not principles from a self help book.
My love,
Even in this struggle, God is with you. He sees you and wants to remind you to keep trusting him.

It is not lost on me that I cannot keep myself in Christ. I have looked closely at my own heart and seen the depth of evil I am capable of; I am not ignorant of my own depravity. To imagine that I could endure to the end by my own strength is to exalt my will beyond its place. If Christ does not keep me to the end, then I am doomed forever. My confidence is that He has promised that He will.
May was a lot for me but the highlight of it for me was passing my Public health council exam.
So yeah officially reintroducing myself as RN,RPHN Awodeyi I.M

In the coming year, try reading your Bible slowly. Don’t worry about finishing it all in twelve months. Instead, hunt for treasure within the text, sit with the verses. Meditate. Communion not completion, depth over distance. As you open the bible let it open up to you too.
I went back to Luke this morning just to revisit the story of Christmas… and Luke 2:7 hit me like an arrow to the chest:
“She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in cloths and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.”
We romanticize that line so much that we forget how brutal it actually is. If the gospel narrative is true, then that’s not a cute nativity detail. That is the most explosive statement in human history.
The God who created galaxies entered His own creation… and there was no room for Him.
No royal welcome, no palace, no safety, no honor, not even a bed. He comes into the world He made, and the doors are closed in His face.
This is the single greatest scandal of Christianity: God doesn’t supervise salvation from a throne. He steps into it. He doesn’t arrive in glory. He arrives vulnerable. He doesn’t come intimidating humanity into submission. He comes as a child who can’t even hold His own head up. If you were inventing a religion, this is not the story you’d write.
Luke is quietly showing something staggering about God’s character:
He wins, not by force, but by love.
He saves, not by domination, but by self-giving. He comes close, not as a King demanding space, but as a Savior entering even when there is “no room.”
And that manger isn’t sentimental. It’s confrontational.
It confronts our pride, cos humanity has always had space for power, wealth, celebrity, and status… just never space for God unless He serves our plans.
It confronts our illusions of strength cos God is showing that real power isn’t the ability to crush. Real power is the courage to empty yourself for the sake of others.
It confronts religion, cos God bypassed temples and elites and arrived where animals feed… then announced His coming not to emperors, but to shepherds.
Luke 2:7 tells us who God is.
He is not distant, He is not indifferent, He is not cold sovereignty. He is the God who chooses weakness so He can stand with the weak. He is the God who walks into human pain instead of observing it from afar. He is the God who would rather be rejected with us than reign without us.
If this verse is true, Christianity isn’t just another belief system. It’s a radical claim that the deepest power in the universe is love; not might, not fear, not spectacle.
So yes… this verse broke me today.
Because if this is who God is… then hope isn’t sentimental. Grace isn’t theoretical. And Christmas isn’t “cute.”
It’s God stepping into history quietly…
exposing us gently… and saving us completely. Luke 2:7 isn’t a children’s story. It’s a revolution.
Merry Christmas 🎄❤️
A good time to make this spread and trend again…….
Let’s go !
Jesus just has to be who He says He is. No one gives this joy that He gives.
We celebrate our king, JESUS !
A LETTER TO MY SONS
Do Not Stop Asking GOD For More,
My sons, listen to me.
A son does not prove obedience
by having no desires.
He proves it
by bringing his desires into submission.
To Stop asking is not maturity.
Many times, it is because you are disappointed.
Servants are careful with requests.
Sons are careful with posture.
A servant doesnt ask
because he fears overstepping.
A son asks
because he knows where he belongs.
GOD never expect His sons
to silence their desires.
He expects them
to submit it to HIM.
When a man stops asking GOD for more,
something has shifted.
Not in GOD.
In the man.
I have seen sons stop asking GOD for a job,
not because the need disappeared,
but because the last time they asked,
they were disappointed.
So they adjusted their prayers.
Lowered their expectations.
Renamed their Dissapointment as contentment.
But it was not contentment.
They were just disappointed.
I have seen women believing GOD for a child
stop asking.
Not because the desire left,
but because hope became painful.
So they stopped praying about it.
Not in rebellion.
In self-protection.
Hear me clearly:
When disappointment is not brought back to GOD,
it does not disappear.
It hardens.
Sons ask
because they trust GOD enough to hear “wait.”
They ask
because they trust Him enough to receive “no.”
They ask
because they trust Him enough
to steward “yes.”
If you stop asking
because you fear the answer,
you are not being humble.
You are withdrawing.
GOD is not offended by your desire.
He is not threatened by your expectation.
He is concerned with your posture,
not your hunger.
You do not honor GOD
by shrinking your desires.
You honor Him
by placing them before Him
and remaining submitted.
So I am telling you
as a father in the faith:
If you stopped asking GOD
because you were disappointed,
go back.
Ask again.
Not demanding.
Not entitled.
But submitted.
If He says wait, wait.
If He says no, trust Him.
If He says yes, stay humble.
But do not stop asking.
Distance
is not sonship.
To Be Continued…
