Hey lovely people. How has the week been?  We are going to have a picnic today. So get your cutleries ready and be ready to feast. Bon appetit🙂 "When the Woman saw that the tree looked like good eating and realized what she would get out of it- she'd know everything!-she took and ate the fruit and then gave some to her husband and he ate." Gen 3:6 MSG Everyday, either consciously or in subconsciousness, we make choices. You are reading this post because it's your choice. Yesterday morning, I decided to wear a white T-shirt and a knitted skirt with a pair of gold sandals. I kept my Afro hair down in loose twists and applied some lipstick on my lips; ready for the day. I made the choice of how to dress. Same goes for today; I'll have to make the choice of what to wear, what to eat and where I'd like to go. Atimes, we make choices after some deliberations, other times, they are made spontaneously. Either way, we still end up making one choice or the other. God h...

 "How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant" Songs of Solomon 1:16 GNV One morning, during the Corvid break, I decided to study the book of Songs of Solomon. Guys, can I tell you this: every part of the bible that you read under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit is beautiful. When the One who brought the inspiration now gives gives the translation........ it's bliss😇 Last week, it was about about human love. It's on a different level today. Do you remember this song by Evangelist Oyor  "Kiss me with the kisses of Your lips, for your love is better than wine........".  Only the Holy Spirit can bring that kind of revelation. Here's an important secret: the Bible is complete, wholesome, holistic. There's no book ever written, or yet to come that can surpass the mystique of the bible. Another beautiful thing about it is that the Author will be with you while reading it to give you the intended meaning of the part you...

 Today is World Sexual Purity Day; November 14 Does that ring any bell?? I was about to put it up on my WhatsApp status today when I paused to reflect..... What is the meaning of sexual purity? I mean what is the exact meaning of the context? Is there any standard for measuring sexual purity? For many, sexual purity is subjective. And the devil has sold out the lie that being involved in pornography, masturbation, fondling, incessant dirty imaginations is no big deal, once there's no sexual intercourse.  But God has His own definition of sexual purity: "Honor marriage, and guard the sacredness of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a firm line against casual and illicit sex." Hebrews 13:4 MSG Sexual purity is wholesome; involving the spirit, soul and body. "Things that are pure, godly, noble, worthy of praise.......think about these things." Darling, the Holy Spirit can give that wholesomeness! God created us to be sexual beings; ".......He ...

 "It is better to have a partner than go it alone Share the work, share the wealth And if one falls down, the other helps. But if there's none to help, tough!"   Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (MSG) Has there been any time when you're grateful for the gift of  friends?  Or perhaps you've found your self in some sort of jeopardy because of friends?  However it might have been,  friendship is a beautiful gift from God, though it has been hijacked by the devil and it's purpose thwarted which is manifesting in many ways in our world. Nonetheless, we'll be focusing on  friendship and it's purpose as God intended. There's a saying that goes that "when you walk alone, you go far, but when you walk with friends, you go far." I happen to be an introvert by nature and I once didn't fancy having friends or association of any sort. I once was a lone ranger. I loved doing my things all alone and loved it remained that way. But, when I got into the university...
