Groupie

Image
  The first time I heard this word was when Drake called someone a groupie in one of his songs, I did not check for the meaning until an influencer talked about it recently The google definitions are too extreme and derogatory but in the context of what I'm talking about a groupie can be someone who always wants to be with the "happening guys". After pondering about it for a couple of days I realized we might be and this mentee, mentor, networking, your association rave in Nigeria might have turned most of us to “groupies” in a way. The need to follow the latest popping person, enter their dms and introduce yourself, ask them to mentor you or to just be able to say I know them, bla bla bla   is turning some of us into something else I don’t have much to say but I pray we remember that as we appreciate the light in others, their talents and gifts, we'll never  lose sight of the light, talents and gifts we carry too. Appreciate them but focus on making your light

How to maintain peace in this covid era



Peace to me is maintaining calmness at heart despite challenges holding on to your trust in God. Due to this pandemic, we are exposed to anxiety and fear especially mothers who now have degrees in corona studies. To me, worrying is simply overworking my mind, analyzing an issue I have no control over. Regarding Covid-19, there is nothing we can do except for doctors or scientist or government officials (decision makers geng) if you are just a normal citizen like me it is easy to allow anxiety and fear have its way into your heart but don’t.
God has promised us peace and I found this in Philippians 4:6-8
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”
When I feel very worried about issues, I can’t control, I talk to God (sincerely explaining how I feel) and then my peace is restored (listening to a really calm music helps I’ll recommend peace by hill song).Some scriptures about Gods promises on peace:
“May the God of hope fill you with peace and joy as you trust him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the holy spirit” Romans 15:13
Isaiah 26:3                         John 14:27
John 16:33                         Matthew 11:28-30
Isaiah 55:12                        Isaiah 54 :10
Note - Pray and reassure worried loved ones(mums) that God is in control and remind them of God’s peace promises, check on your friends that are leaving alone, so no one falls into depression. Pray for those in need, the homeless, the infected, those with other kind of sicknesses and generally the world at large. Help those in need in any way possible. God is making a way out. Hold on and have peace.
Thanks for reading, stay blessed and have a great day.

Are you a wealthy youth?

Are you a wealthy youth? My friends and I were having a good laugh😂 about our poor money decisions and it was so funny how wise girls like us could make such decisions. We all had the big dream of being young and rich🤑 but we weren’t. We spent money on bags, shoes, weaves, makeup, entertainment and clothes that made us happy for a day or two and then we returned to being broke girls, our bank accounts and stomachs were rich for a second but at least we could get away with looking rich for a long time. I had always asked myself in my broke state, can I enjoy myself and satisfy my wants without getting nairaless at the end of the day or do I always have to sacrifice one for the other? after reading Arese Ugwu’s book “The smart money woman” I got my answer. I realized that as an evolving youth our wants range increase and one of the responsibilities of an adult is to manage finances while satisfying desires. In order to do this, we need to gain knowledge on savi

Born Again As we grow into adulthood, we tend to have a desire to find the truth for ourselves, and stop depending on what we’ve been told. As a growing teenager I started to have reasons why I wanted to find God for myself, to know if he really exists and what he was really about. In church, I was told that if I am not born again when Jesus comes, I would go to hell. Therefore, I confessed that Christ is my lord and saviour several times: when I lied, watched a movie about hell, wanted him to answer my prayers, listened to preachings or when I was just unsure of my salvation. I realized that I was always lying and doing what God hates so I was always confessing and promising that I would change my ways. I got into a Christian university where the salvation message was always preached and I was always told I could access God once I become his child so I answered the altar call again, but the issue was after answering the altar call what next?   I stopped listening to se

Forgiveness

An important attribute of a person is their memories. The ability to remember events, words, people encounters, and fragrances is so essential,that when lost, we conclude that the individual will be unable to live to their full potential. As important as making new memories is to our lives, deleting the ones that serve as garbage to our minds, is of great necessity. I used to be a walking encyclopedia for the harms done to me. It was a prized possession, it gave me enough reasons to cry when I felt down, enough reasons that I had every right to be pitied and given attention. In my head I was like, “you don’t know what they’ve done to me” but the truth was that I did not know the damage I was doing to myself. The Lord’s prayers says; “...and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us…” Imagine yourself as a phone with 64GB of storage. You would agree with me when the storage is full, the phone becomes:  • Slow • Overheats • Cannot accommodate new and imp
