The Blessedness of Womanhood (Part 3)

Mary was instrumental to the first miracle that Jesus did on earth. She told the people to do whatever he asked them to do. Lo and behold, the first miracle happened at a wedding ceremony. Another time Jesus was seated by the well and met a woman who came to fetch. She had an encounter with Jesus and ran back to the city with the Gospel of joy. People came out to welcome Jesus and received him. There was another woman with an Alabaster box who came to worship and beautify Jesus with her expensive ointment. What about Mary Magdalene? a woman who had 7 demons but got delivered by Jesus and became his disciple. She was one of the first people who saw Jesus after resurrection. So much to talk about how women were of great blessing to Jesus' ministry. And I believe greater than those women are here. Women whose lives are expression of Grace, whose minds are filled with heaven, bringing divinity into reality. Thank God for such Great Women in our world today. Greater happenings are yet to come. #MuchBlessings

Sex

The subject of sex (sexual intercourse, coitus, or copulation) is what we hardly talk about, but we often think about; old and young, men and women, boys and girls. The problem starts the moment you reach puberty and become sexually matured. All kinds of feelings began to set in. It usually becomes heightened at late teens, the most dangerous period among the young people. It's very important we get it right, so, we don't do it wrong. Sex, on its own is a beautiful thing. No man created it, but God. Now, the only place where God puts sex is in marriage. Every other place is illegal. The benefits of sex are within marriage. But the problems of sex are without marriage. If you are not married, you are not allowed. The reasons are not far-fetched. Sex goes beyond the act. It's a commitment that has emotional attachment with a lot of involvements. As a single, you wouldn't want to have problem in your marriage. Now in marriage, sex is of utmost importance. A man does not want sex in marriage, he needs it. Wives, for you to enjoy your home and have a happy husband, you've got to step up your sexual life. He's not gonna be begging you all the time for it. He needs it. You are not gonna be giving him excuses all the time. You initiate it. Tell him what you want. Show him how you want it. Instead of frustrating him with excuses every now and then. Show interest in what he's interested in. This has nothing to do with his status. He needs it. Then, as a man, self control is of utmost importance. Don't rush into marriage because you are looking for sex, you may not have it all the time, but understand your wife and give her what she needs. She needs affection. Know how to set her on. Know how to play her keys. Let's have a happy home. Let's live a good life. And our families will be blessing to the world. #Blessings.

The Blessedness of Womanhood (Part 2)

Devil has done a smart job. He deceived the woman, left her in pains and agony. Then God intervened; He told devil, “though you've deceived the woman and made humanity fell into sin, but I will tell you what you don't know, that same woman I will use to bring humanity back to divinity”. Devil went and restrategized. It became a tug of war between God and devil. Devil began to mess up every woman he suspected God could use. He knew God hated sin. He defiled all the suspected women God could use. Several generations passed, God was still looking. He was on a thorough search. Finally, God found a virgin, a young woman who has not defiled herself. Then, God packaged himself and came to earth through one of his Arch Angels. The Angel met the virgin and told her- "You have been favoured of the Lord, and Blessed among women". The Angel delivered the Word to her. The moment she received the Word, the Word became implanted in her womb and grew. After 9months, the Word became flesh and dwelled among us. Devil was confused. He was still looking for how God would come down and use somebody. Elizabeth was a suspect, so her womb was shut. But God intervened, and gave her child in her old age. That wasn’t God's direction. He only used that to open the floor and prepare the ground. Devil still didn't understand what was happening. Now the virgin, Mary, after 9months, gave birth to a child and called his name Jesus. What??? Devil was shocked. But this was a lady that was not yet married. How come? He was extremely confused. Divine intervention has given devil unexpected hypertension. God knew what he was doing, right from the beginning. Mary gave birth to Jesus. Humanity was restored back to God. Mary was highly instrumental. God wouldn’t have achieved that without woman. No wonder woman was a perfection of His good work. Now, women are blessed. Women are favoured. Women are happy. Devil is put to perpetual shame. Glory to God. But, has everything finally ended??? Part 3.

The Menstrual Period

Menstruation (menses, period) is a monthly vaginal discharge due to shedding of uterine lining. It’s usually 3 to 5days, but could be longer or shorter. The menstrual cycle happens in the space of 21 to 35days; average of 28days. First menstruation takes place anytime from age 10. Most times, women experience some symptoms and behavioural changes before and during menstruation. Good measures to ameliorate some of those difficulties could be exercise (releases endorphins; natural painkiller), warm bath, warm drinks and heating pad on the abdomen (relax the uterine muscles), reduced intake of salt and sugar, increased intake of fruits and vegetables (sources of good vitamins) and use of analgesics. In some part of the world, women are maltreated during this period. They claimed women are unclean, so they isolate them. I wondered the kind of shame and embarrassment such women would undergo every month because God made them women. But that is ignorance. I say that must stop! Menstruation for a woman, is an evidence of fertility and good functioning system. Except for pregnancy, women menstruate all through their reproductive years. Women endure a lot of things that men don’t understand. It’s important that men understand women’s system and don’t always criticize them because they don’t know what they are going through per time. Knowledge is required to live happily with one another. Have nice moments. #Blessings

The Blessedness of Womanhood (Part 1)

The serpent came and deceived the woman. She was so shocked of what happened thereafter. She has just been deceived. She was not gullible, but pretty innocent and receptive. Adam, her husband was so angry when he realized she gave him wrong fruit. Every reason for her innocent mistake was not just plausible to him. He wouldn’t want to believe her anymore. It’s adamic nature for a man to disbelieve and not have trust with his wife. As a man, don’t always find faults with your wife. She might have little weakness, but that’s not wickedness. She needs your encouragement. Don’t let her feel she’s not important or her opinion doesn’t count. It hurts a woman deep in her spirit to know that you don’t appreciate or count her important in your life. She’s not just your wife, she’s your helpmeet. She’s not just the mother of your children, she’s your closest companion after HolySpirit. If she made mistake, don’t count it on her. Don’t remind her of her past errors and mistakes. If you do, you will be killing her inside. She’ll be crying day and night. But rather, support her, encourage her, motivate her, forgive her, compliment her, accommodate her, appreciate her, celebrate her, surprise her with gifts, admire her, nourish her, impress her, beautify her, and correct her in love. For God, he did a big surprise with Eve’s mistake. He turned things around. Devil thought he got it all laid out to have won humanity, but nothing did he know that he only paved a way for divinity to manifest in humanity, and God became man to make men become gods. How did He do it? Part 2. #Blessings

Papez Circuit

Women have got a special circuit in their system called Papez circuit. The circuit is associated with emotions and consolidation of memory. There are certain experiences in a day that replay in a woman’s mind like thousand times. It happens right in the papez circuit. If the experience is not pleasant, it’s like a poison in her system that needs to be got rid of before it damages her system. Just like someone who is so pressed with running stomach will not feel comfortable until she releases those disturbances out of her system, so is a woman who is seriously disturbed with negative stuffs in her mind would not feel comfortable until she’s relieved of those things. A woman gets relieved by expression. She needs to open up. She needs to release what is in her mind in words and expressions. She can get someone of good heart to share her pains with. Dear woman, please don’t hide your pains inside, they can eat you up. Release them and be filled with good life. Expression is not vulnerability. It’s a freedom from burdens that thrive in concealment but dissolve in appeasement. Enjoy a stress-free life. #Blessings

The Great Ruth

Ruth was a woman of our like passion, who despite all odds took a giant step that put her name in the genealogy of Jesus. A strange woman who converted her frustration to ministration to generations. Oh, I love Ruth! She knew something that Orpah, her fellow sister-in-law didn't know. Naomi, their mother-in-law gave the two of them tangible reasons why they had to leave. That was enough for Orpah to leave. But, Ruth had higher reasons why she had to cleave and not to leave; right in the midst of adversity and hopelessness. Ruth, indeed was a great woman of faith and strong-mindedness. No wonder she was the only one among the Moabites (the enemies of God) whose name was written with golden pen in the genealogy of our Lord Jesus Christ. I hope there are still Ruths in our generation; Women, who will despite all difficulties and challenges, stand up higher and turn those problems to generational blessings. Much more testimonies await the Ruths of our generation. #MuchBlessings

Women are precious

Is it easy to be a woman or not? We've always heard, "It's not easy to be a man", but again, Is it also easy to be a woman? A woman can give you a tip of an iceberg. Life is not difficult, but life has demands. There are a lot of expectations on women. An average woman is not lazy. Environment may not allow her, but she's not lazy. A woman has got so much responsibility. She is the one that carries pregnancy for 9months. She's the one that undergoes the labour pains. What of the monthly pains? She's the one that endures it, and even count it as her norm. She's the one that helps her husband. She's the one that breastfeeds and caters for her children. She's the one that makes sure her make-up is on point to have a befitting look. She's the one that people expect to build her home. She's the one that people expect to train up her kids. She's the one. She's the one that is expected to put her house in order. She's the one that if dressings are not good on her children, the first to be blamed, she's the one. She's also the one if her husband is not regular at home or doesn't love to come back home, she's the one. She thinks every time, feels every time and works every time. All towards one goal- Caring. Women have got so much abilities and strength that men cannot phantom. Yes, you can say women are the backbone, because if they are not there, I'm not sure you will be there. Special thanks to all our precious women all around the world, who have been a source of huge blessing to us. May you live to enjoy the blessings of your labour. #MuchBlessings

No attack against Women

God loves women and protects them. One woman was dragged to Jesus by some accusing men because of adultery. They wanted to stone her, but asked Jesus what he thinks. Jesus asked them- "Anyone among you who has never committed sin should be the first to stone her" Surprisingly, they all left. What??? Bunch of hypocrites. So they've all committed sin before and went unpunished but want somebody else to be punished because of sin. Jesus knew their wickedness. He dissolved their wiles. Then, he asked the woman, "where are your accusers?" She said "they've all left." Then, Jesus said "I don't condemn you, go and sin no more." That is the gospel. The woman received good news from Jesus, and it liberated her from the power of sin and judgment and gave her eternal life. Oh, what a life of God. #Blessings

Women don't talk too much

Only God knows wherever the ideology of ‘women talk too much’ is coming from. People that don’t understand women are the ones that will be using such insultive, abusive language. They rather keep shut their mouths than vomiting foolishness. What is the benchmark for talking too much? Is there limit to how many words anyone can utter before somebody began to say it is too much? With the nature God created women with, ability to talk with good expression is a requirement. Imagine someone who wants to care but can’t talk. Imagine someone who is going to help but lacks expression, or someone who will mother children, nurture them, and train them up to adulthood but can’t open her mouth or lacks verbal expression, how do you want her to get all these job done? Just to mention but a few. You realized that wherever that ideology of ‘women talk too much’ is coming from is demonic and oppressive. And most commonly, the response by women at such expression is to restrain and began to close their mouths, keep things secretive to themselves and even lack confidence of speaking in the public, because of the impression that they talk too much. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. Now, in as much as I’m not advocating for foolish talks or unnecessary jestings around, I’m not also in support of women being silenced. They should be allowed to express their good nature well enough without oppression or intimidation from any human being. Sometimes, some people say women are secretive, but they don’t know that’s a response from a negative impression that was communicated to them about their nature. But now, the order is changing, as women are becoming great agents of change with their words in our world today. I celebrate women. Warm regards. #Blessings

Just One Idea

The duo took a break from their work at Yahoo company. They really desired something new, so traveled to South America as a break from work. One of them got an iPhone and realized that the App store was about creating an industry of apps. He became enthused, and went to discuss with his friends. Immediately, he got an idea. He thought of an app that would have statuses next to individual names of the people. He named the app "WhatsApp" to sound like "What's up", or "What are you up to", an active phrase that could make any youth interested, even the old ones. On February 24, 2009, WhatsApp became incorporated in California. At a point, he was fed up because the app often crashed and got stuck, but his friend encouraged him to wait for a few more months. Him and his friends had invested over $250,000. The app later had android and other versions. By December 2013, WhatsApp had got over 400 million users. On February 19, 2014, Facebook bought over WhatsApp for $19 billion. The duo had invested not up to 1% of that amount but became billionaires in approximately 5 years after, just from one idea. An idea can give you the money that the smartest scam cannot give you. The names of the duo are Jan Koum and Brian Acton, founders of Whatsapp freeware. #Blessings

God-given Ideas

The Spirit of God is an unending source of great ideas. Starting from the account of creation, when the Spirit of God was present, God had an idea of how the heaven and earth should look like. But the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. But the darkness and emptiness couldn't stop the Spirit of God from moving. They couldn't stop God's idea of making the heaven and earth beautiful. Every idea from God is a winning idea; no matter the situation, no matter the opposition. I believe one of the strategies of the devil is to frustrate us with problems so that we will not be able to implement God's ideas. But No!!! We will not give-in. But, we will go ahead and implement those long, overdue ideas. While God is waiting for us to do something, we are waiting for him to do everything. He has given us His Spirit. He has given us His Word. The Spirit of God opens our eyes to ideas in the Word of God. Whenever you need an idea, go into the Word and engage the Spirit of God to reveal ideas to you. You will be shocked with how much ideas you will get. I see you with loads of testimonies. You are winning in life. #HappySunday #MuchBlessings

The Police of Time

Quite important, time. It has no specific definition, yet gives everything on earth specific destination. Here it is. Time starts counting down right from when the zygote is formed, till embryonic and fetal stages, and finally till when the time is due, and a full fledged human is born. We call it birthday, but not the conceived day that happened about 38weeks ago. The birthday is officially recorded and the life of the newborn started rolling out with time. The baby needs time to grow the bones, the muscles and the organs. And as the child grows, the body systems become more and more matured and functional. Then, till finally old age comes, and start rounding everything off. Everything on earth is put under the jurisdiction of time. The currency of life is time. It is the police that monitors all the affairs of life and every human activity. Whatever is living is under the jurisdiction of time. Check whatever you have done, time was there. Check whatever you are doing now, time is with you. And think of your plans tomorrow, they are under the jurisdiction of time. Until a man drops pen and crosses to the other side, he will still be under the influence of time. Things change because of time. We can start things and end them because of time. Every part of human body is under the calculation of time. The cells have lifespan. They are not gonna live forever. Time makes us value and assess life. We can differentiate yesterday from today and today from tomorrow because of time. If you have invested your time yesterday, expect your harvest today. If you are investing your time today, expect your harvest tomorrow, for time will owe no man nothing. It is good you have time when you do important things of your life and the less important ones. Go ahead and enjoy the blessings of time. #Blessings

Praise and Worship

My praise is continuous and spontaneous. To my heavenly Father, the Father of glory, who has set the heavens above the earth. Who is like unto thee, oh Lord? Who is like unto thee? Among the gods, who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders forevermore, Hallelujah. Thank you Father for your Grace. Thank you for your blessings. You have made me like you, created in your image and patterned after your likeness. I do whatever I see my father does. I say whatever I hear my father says. I am the apple of His eyes. Who is he that justifies? Is it not the Lord who is the Father of all. What or who can separate me from the Love of Christ? No where to be found. Father I worship you and glorify your holy name. Blessed be God forever and ever more, Amen and Amen! #MuchBlessings

The Reign of the God kind


God knew what He was saying when He said I will do a new thing. He understood how stale and irrelevant old things could be. Again, he said don't make repetition while you are talking to me. He knows how boring and annoying saying same story could be. In this last days, the scripture is fulfilled, God has poured out His Spirit upon all flesh. Many beautiful things are happening. People are getting nice ideas everyday. God is showing His people good treasures and green pastures. They are doing great things. New concepts, new ideas, new revelations, new songs, beautiful stuffs. Devil has got no stand here, God-kinds are taking over. If you are where you were, come to where you should be. There's no point repeating somebody's songs to make your own album. Compose your own songs. There's no point preaching somebody else's message. Preach your own message. Your life is not copy and paste, but a special script that should be read. You are not humanly programmed, but divinely designed to do excellent things. Enough of unnecessary repetitions. Let's get to the core of our identity and uniqueness in Christ. Peace. #MuchBlessings

Sewage in New Age


Sewage in old age was a pollution. It was a waste and irritant. But that was when there were no ideas. That was when there were no information on what to do. In this new age, sewage is recycled and converted to better things. It is no longer seen as just a waste and pollution to the environment, but as raw material for better products. Sewage is a collection of waste water and excrement conveyed in sewers. An average human consumes about 50 liters of fresh water everyday for domestic purposes such as bathing, washing, cooking, cleaning and flushing. The collection of this 'used water' is called sullage. Drinking water (potable water) is not part of this because it's put inside the body. Sullage is easier to purify than sewage. Notwithstanding, sewage has got benefits after being recycled. Sewage contains water, dissolved minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, oil and fats, coliform bacteria and total suspended solids. Sewage is treated in Sewage treatment plant by primary, secondary and tertiary stages of treatment. The impurities are removed. The bacteria and solid mass of the sewage are separated and dried up to be used as compost in a garden. The water left is treated by several filtration methods, chlorination, ozonation and/or with ultraviolet light. After all these, the clean water is ready for use, for domestic and industrial purposes. #Blessings

God bless the Fathers

God bless the fathers some more. I'm so inspired about the fathers. Thank God for the fathers. They lead us. They direct us. They instruct us. They guide us. They teach us. They correct us. They feed us. They protect us. They mold us. Fathers are rare gem. They are epitome of greatness. With fathers, our future is secured. With fathers, our path is straightened. With fathers, we are led by the way of righteousness. With fathers, our work is easier. With fathers, we learn wisdom and gain experience. With fathers, we can discern. With fathers, we are delivered from the enemies. With fathers, we don't fall into ditch. With fathers, we know the right things to do. With fathers, we are motivated and inspired, and we can journey till the end. With fathers, our paths are guided and directed. Fathers suffer pains and shame on our behalf. They endure discomfort so that we can be comfortable. They release their shoulders so that we can reach greater heights. They work in the night, so that we can walk in the light. Fathers are not only biological, but they are blessing to every area of our lives as well. I pray for the fathers; May you increase more. May your strength be renewed. May your health be preserved. May you see generations of your children's children. May God bless all your labours on earth and multiply your blessings. Peace. #MuchBlessings

Implement Your Ideas


Only God knows how many ideas that have died in the hearts of men. Some have been buried inside the grave. Some ideas died because of fear of failure. Some died because of rejection from men. Some died because of lack of focus. Some died because of lack of hard work. Some died because of lack of resources. Some died because of lack of motivation and support. But great ideas don't always come in acceptable and palatable form. They always break conventions and traditions. They are new inventions. Many people can help you with spending your money, only few people can help you with investing it. Many people can help you with killing your idea, only few people can help you with nurturing it. When you get an idea, don't sleep over it, work on it. An idea must be able to solve problem or proffer better solutions. An idea must be able to meet a need. If your idea can accomplish any of these, go ahead and implement it. It doesn't matter if it's not accepted now, it will be celebrated later. I see you impacting the world through your ideas. #Blessings
