MY MESS!




MY MESS!
Yesterday afternoon I was terribly famished. And in the quest to quench my hunger, I motioned to the kitchen to prepare noodles and egg.
It was almost half done when I reached my hand thither into the kitchen table to get egg but unfortunately I accidentally broke six eggs.

Nobody was home and I didn't want anyone to know what had transpired when they come back. I cleared the mess but not yet totally wiped until I replace the broken ones.
Hence I rushed out of the house bought another six eggs to replace the one I broke.
Then, I confidently ate my noodles thinking no one would have a glimpse of what had happened.

But when people began to come back from work they could perceive odor of egg, and I was asked did you break egg?
Since I didn't want to lie I said yes. What I actually thought had perfectly covered up later show case itself.

Then, I questioned myself why didn't I use deodorant to neutralize the smell of the egg?
However, I wasn’t scold for breaking the eggs.
Then, it occurred to me that so many a time when we sin or err, we usually find a way of covering up for our sin because we often think God is mad at us. And some other time we want to help ourselves, and this we do by separating ourselves from HIM.

But God isn't mad at us because of our error. He's a loving father. Rather than running away from him when we err we should rather run to him for help.
Our help is in God who is in us. Suffice to say that our help is in us. But we tend to separate from him in our minds each time we sin.

Stop struggling, when you make mistake look unto the cross the more you look the better you become. But running away from God will only make you commit that same mistake over and over again. I see running away from God whenever we sin as “confidence in the flesh” which cannot help us, but rather enslave and make us feel guilty. We tend to commit the same mistake again while condemning ourselves.

Stop condemning yourself, if God has not condemned you then, why should you?
If truly you're born again, sin is not your problem because your sins are forgiven past, present and future. Don't be too sin conscious because sin has been dealt with once and for all.
God is not imputing your sin to you. Our father is not keeping record of sin.

 Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Heb 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Permit me to hang my pen here, I remain my humble self AKERELE OdunayoSam.
Remember keep being you and keep being true.

MY LOCAL FRIEND

                                                               We started this series last week when we talked about ‘lessons from a game of football.’ The capsule overview of last week post is the fact that in a game of football they have a common goal, which is to win. And we established that if at all victory would be their friend then there is a need for them to work as a team. Here is a personal experience shared by a very good friend of mine: I have many friends both in my town and neighboring town. Some of them are educated while some are not. There was a time I went for a conference outside my town. I met new friends at the conference whose exposure transcend some of my friends at home. I needed to get their contacts but both my subscriber identity module (SIM) and phone storage were completely full. A thought c...

SEEDS

I remember when I started teaching as a side hustle. I didn't really take it serious. The first student I encountered,  just walk up to me for asistance, and I taught him at no cost. The last time I met him, he is already a graduate. After I graduated from the university I taught in one, two, three or four places. But those seeds I sowed then jokingly have become trees, I mean  big trees. Just last month I met two of my students in one of the reputable university in Nigeria; one is studying Chemical engineer and the other Computer science. Those were the one I taught between 2017 and 2018. Some of the students I taught between 2015 and 2016 had graduated from universities while some are in their final year. Some of my students are still in secondary schools and they are doing fine. I have students that are not in school but follow their passion either as singers, comedian, etc. and they are as well doing fine. Why am I telling you this? Is it for show, or perhap...

IT MATTER

IT MATTER! The topic to be discussed today is ‘it matter’, but the question is, what matters? Join me as we look into this deeply.  When I was in secondary school my Agricultural science teacher taught us then GERMINATION and the factor responsible for growth. Some of the factors are: viable seeds, moisture or water, nutrient (soil) and air (oxygen) When I meditatively considered these factors I realized that not even one out of them is un-important. If any of them isn’t available then the seed growth or germination is in jeopardy. Applying this into our lives’ journey as humans, it is evident that some factors also responsible for our own growth in every endeavors of life. Some take this serious while some others don’t.  When I say growth I do not mean increase in the number of age. Neither do I mean increase in stature. We grow in business, career, and ministry and so on. For us to grow in life we need to take these factors seriously. For instance the viabil...
