Lotus' little note to JAPAnese and everyone ✨

 Hi guys👋🙂

Welcome to today's edition of illuminingpen.blogspot.com✨

So yesterday, I was scrolling through social media when I came across a tweet

"The sight of a pregnant woman can be both triggering and offensive to trans woman who are unable to give birth; I'm writing to my MP to ask him to introduce compulsory stomach binders for birthing bodies to conceal their cis bumps when out in public. This is basic manners. #LGBTQ."

🙄 Wow.... really. That's incredulous. And one of the things that came to my mind on that post was that there're many confused people in this world 🤦.

These ideologies are not yet coded into laws in most African countries and may not really make sense to an average African now because there are more glaring problems of insecurity, poverty, health challenges.....and so on.

But it's gradually coming to us. Infact, it has subtly started!

Hosea 4:6

"My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. 

'Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as My priests

Because you have ignored the law of your God,

I will also ignore your children."

The importance of knowledge cannot be underestimated, neither can it be overemphasized. A lot of problems could be avoided in life if we have the necessary and basic knowledge.

For the purpose of today's message on the blog, I'd be addressing two categories:

✨JAPAnese

✨Everyone

Category 1

JAPAnese 

To all JAPAnese, whether intending or actual, I push this to you; What knowledge do you have about structures and ideologies over there? How prepared are you to guard your life and spirit 🤷?

It wouldn't be much of a surprise when in sometime to come, JAPAnese and their progenitors are falling victims of these mad and confused and ungodly ideologies over there.

Besides, dear intending JAPAnese, seek the mind of God before you start the processing and packing of your load. Many are seeking for green pastures, but little did they know that success is being where God wants you to be.

Tomi Arayomi tweeted

"Success is not America or a western education for your kids, not is it a British Passport. Success is wherever God tells you to be! Abraham knew that a desert with God is more successful than Sodom and Gomorrah without God!"

Do you remember Naomi and Elimelek?

I'm not against japa-ing oo, but it's just best that you seek God's mind and face before you leave. Career is not the only aspect of your life. There are so many other factors that make you a 360° human.

Get to know God's mind before making that decision....and obey. That is KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH gives POWER! And JESUS is THE POWER!

Category 2

✨Everyone

90% of singles (I mean singularly singles) are asking God for relationships, life partner, etc. But ask: How prepared are you? How many godly books and materials have you consulted about relationships, love, marraige....? How far have you allowed God to work on you in readiness for what you're asking for. It's going to be be shocking when you have the response!

Let me say here that: ASSUMPTION CAN BE DEADLY!

You want to have kids, how prepared are you for parenting? There's a lot of system already incurred by the devil for children: in school, entertainment and every other aspect you could think of. If God releases His heritages to you, how sure are you that you won't be raising another problem(s) for this generation.....and the ones to come if Jesus tarries? How capacitated are you for parenting?

Of course, we all want wealth, but what knowledge do we have about wealth? What's God's mind about wealth? Can you really handle wealth to God's glory when He releases it into your hands?

You want to be a leader, what do you know about leadership?

In all your gettings honey, get knowledge and retain the godly ones. What I'm insinuating here is that there're toxic form of knowledge.....so let's balance it.

There is a lot of mismanagement due to lack of knowledge toxic knowledge!

And I'll give a recommendation: the Bible, the greatest book ever written in history, world's best seller which had never been changed, upgraded, added to or removed from, should be the standard of your knowledge, which hitherto influences your life decisions.

I'd recommend these too:

Homosexuality: Jackie Perry Hill, Candace Owens

Feminism: Mildred Okonkwo, Candace Owens, Kolade Adenike

Abortion: Right to Life UK, Live Action, Frank Peretti

Love: Francine Rivers, Gary Chapman, Zac Poonen, Tim LaHaye

Of course, there are several godly contents you could get knowledge from...these are just my recommendations, and I am strongly opinionated that they'll be of help.

Don't forget to drop your comments and share.

Till next time, keep thriving, don't just survive💪

Have  a pleasant week cruise ✨🌠💫

Much love from Abba's 💖
