WHO IS YOUR SOURCE?

By -

During my service year in Dutse, Jigawa state, I had to assist my choir director score a song and so I was given a cassette player to take home. On getting home as usual there was no light and of course one could never predict when the light would come so weighing my options I decided to get batteries for the player. About a day or two later, Nepa gave light and I rushed to my room, got the player out and pressed play.

No sound.

'Arrrghhhh! Not now! not today!' I screamed in my mind. I took the player, fidgeted here and there, checked the wires, checked the power circuit point, pressed off and on again and then pressed Play. No sound.
Ah, how can this be happening I thought to myself. I grabbed the player, dashed off to another Corper's room, plugged it and pressed play. 

 No sound.

Now I stopped being confused and moved over to being worried.' Ah, this player is not mine. How do I now explain to the owner that the Player which was working is now bad. How much allowee was I collecting to now include buying a new Cassette Player for someone else? Everyone tried what they could but still no sound.

Resigned, I went back to my room, threw the Player on my bed and muttered a silent prayer to the Holy Spirit.     'Lord I am confused, I don't know to do and what's wrong, please help me Holy Spirit'.

About a minute or two later, His voice came, ' check the battery compartment'. Battery compartment? Quickly, I dashed for the Player, turned to the back, opened the battery unit and lo and behold, 6 batteries were there. I quickly removed it, plugged the Player to the power circuit and boooom!, the player began to work. 'Ah thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus', I breathed in relief.

As I reclined to enjoy the music, His Voice came again. 'You cannot have me and have an alternative. It won't work! I am either your main source, or the world is. You cannot be connected to me and the world at the same time. It won't work.'

Who's your source? God or man? Bishop Oyedepo said God asked him ... can you, with one eye, look up and with the other look down at the same time? Impossible!

Today, take a decision, Its either Jesus or the world. Keep your Eyes FOCUSED ON JESUS. Make him your
one and only Source and He'll make men your resources.

This April, Reign In Wisdom By The Holy Spirit .

Social Media: Good or Bad???

SOCIAL MEDIA:  Good or Bad? I escorted a friend to meet a date but at some point i was upset with him. He claimed he couldn't wait to meet her and yet while we were there (even when i left them alone) , he was spending more time pressing his phone and checking social media.  With the way we use social media today, one can’t help wondering how humans communicated before it or what we will do without it. If you agree with this thought especially the latter, then you’re probably already addicted to social media. With the development of technology over the years came the advent information technology, the internet and web 2.0 which brought about innovations in human interactions and communications like the new media and social networking (Creeber & Martin, 2009) . Now all aspects of human endeavour can be significantly influenced by social media such as politics, business, and religion. Some argue that social media has more negative influence than positive, however, it’s wor

THE BANKING HALL

...ibadan, Nigeria, 14.20hrs. The sun was shining with a vengeance that could only mean it had a misunderstanding with the clouds or some galaxial sky-mate   that fateful Friday afternoon. I managed to catch a bike eventually, only to get stuck in traffic moments later. Why? The Muslims were praying, their space wasn’t enough and then they blocked the entire market road with their mats. I was livid. Whatever happened to fundamental human rights! Blocking an entire ever-busy thoroughfare in the 21 st Century?...hmmm!        #i reserved my comments, for safety reasons# Minutes later, I was grateful to feel the cool breeze as i entered my bank with one mission, collect my ATM card & escape. The queue was discouraging but envisaged. It got to my turn (after ages on my feet) only to be told by the Customer Service Personnel (most comported i’ve ever met) that my card was being ‘Pouched’ from Lagos ...#my eyes grew bigger# ...after a cash deduction & application for its transfer

mY SuIcIdE nOtE The thoughts had been recurrent through the week. I imagined myself leaving a final note behind, but would I write? Other thoughts crept in… I thought to myself, “is it Normal? Is it Christian? Who can I tell of these strange thoughts? Who would understand that I can’t even a place a finger on what is really gone wrong? Is it my job, family, friends, fiends, my faith, my fate, my fears….what exactly? ” Suicide as described by kenea (a lawyer friend), is cowardice; perhaps he was right! {Thank God he  didn’t possessX-men (mutants) skills of mind reading, else I would have been found out} Some folk may think my life is a fairy tale, but then my nightmares were unending. One of my friends rightly analyzed me as 'managing perception'. If you knew me, have met me, or seen my boisterous self, bewilderment of my recent thoughts will panic you. But why would a seeming ‘perfect’ me be depressed I ask? Well, Google was a little help…depression & suicide t
