Guarding it🔞🔐

-

 Holla amigo😀👋. (I guess someone is asking "what's amigo sef?" It's Spanish word for friend😉. Now you know). 

How's August going? Seems very long right? Hope it's not only me feeling this though?

Welcome to Illuminingpen.blogspot.com. So much enlightening fun here, trust me😎

I saw a picture on someone's status and the Holy Spirit inspired me to pen down some things.


Let's do this together💃

Guarding our hearts with all diligence as described in the Scriptures is an instruction any wise person would take. True, we might be curious and want to explore and feed our minds, but I'd say it's wisdom to do this with discretion and discerning from the Holy Spirit.

I once came in contact with a book, felt in my spirit not to read, but was too curious...and went ahead to do so. It contained an ideology that was logical but was toxic to my spirit man- it negated the Scriptures. The end could have been disastrous because I was feeding my soul with toxic knowledge. Thank God for mercy! (The remaining gist is in the book 'I AM A WOMAN')

Avoid conversations, books, movies, songs, etc that could corrupt your soul. Eyes and ears are window to the soul. Feed your heart with healthy feeds; it reflects on your perception of life and relationships.

Needful to say here that the Scripture is the basic and most healthy feed. And God has inspired and helped men to write on every concept and sphere of life; money, fame, sex, marraige, love, leadership, ministry, entertainment, relationships, entertainment, spirituality, temperament, parenting.... that does not negate the Scriptures and provide guide for healthy living.

What's your choice?.......

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...

Strength is for service, not status

 Happy new month amigos 🙋 It's time to eat again 🥣🍰🥪🍝🥘🍲🥗🍨🍎🍉😋 I was going through the Scriptures today and I found this: "Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status. Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, " How can I help?" Romans 15:1-2 (MSG) The sentence that struck me is this: Strength is for service, not status. I have realized that we are in the time where everyone wants to get some form of power or the other. We all want to become leaders in different parastertars of life. One of the allegories of strength is power.  But have we ever taken time to ponder on the question: am I ready to serve?  We attend impartation services expectant to receive strength in one dimension of God or the other, but are we willing to use that strength in service to men. We aspire to be...

EPISODE SEVEN: MY LOVING LOVER 💖✨

-
 Two days later, Uncle Sola arrived in Lagos, Nigeria. A lot of things were now different from how they were ten years ago when he left. It's quite sad that he was home in the midst of this condition. Had it been his brother was his hale and hearty self,  they would have toured the whole of Lagos together. But, there is still hope when there's life. He arrived in the hospital two minutes to 10am. He had been given the address and description of the hospital the previous day. He had a dislike for hospital environment since when he was a boy. He has the fear of injections and seeing nurses had always given him a scare; it still sometimes does. Only if the situation was not unavoidable does he find himself in the hospital.  He parked his car at the general car park for patients' relatives as indicated by a billboard. Adjacent to the place was a billboard indicating the space for members of staff of the hospital. The environment was serene with flowers neatly prunned and arra...
