YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIE IN SILENCE, "SPEAK OUT"!

The #story was told about a young girl -a #teenager, to be precise, whose father was sleeping with her! Aw... It happened several times; and as a matter of fact, very frequently until it became a regular affair. As life would deal harshly with her again, her uncle, (I suspect he discovered a "family secret" and) decided to take advantage of the ugly situation to get his own share of the national... "family cake" too! (jokes apart though) So it went on and on until suddenly, the young woman fell seriously ill! "What is wrong with you? Why is this getting worse, defying all treatments?!" The mother kept worrying and pestering but she wouldn’t respond and when she did, she never gave any meaningful one. Then one day, a test was carried out on her, since her situation only got worse! And the result of the test... Hmmm... She had contacted... EBOLA... Ops! Did I just say EBO... Oti o! That was a slip of "lips"! Lol! (that was just on a light note, friends ) She contacted... You know that deadly sexually transmitted disease now! Okay… (let’s leave it there.) "What?! How did you get this?!" That was all the mother could scream. Of course at this stage, there was no need to ask too many questions... It was at this point and in uncontrollable flood of tears that she (the girl) let out the "scary, big, black, wild cat” -"My father and my uncle have been sleeping with me. They threatened and warned me not to tell anyone."

Hmmm… This is very pathetic, you will agree with me. And to think the #victim couldn’t make any attempt to get help… It’s #disheartening.
Have you found yourself in a DEEP SHIT? You know very well that it’s unpleasant, murderous or unheard of? Perhaps yours is struggling with a dirty act or attitude… You are caught in a web/net, lost in a puzzling situation or stuck in the mire (mud) and you just don’t know how to get out –you know very well that you are drowning... DON’T STOP or DIE THERE –#SPEAK OUT! GET #HELP! Hiding such a thing is capable of ruining your life. Talk to THOSE WHO CAN HELP YOU -TALK! Just COME OUT and #talk to somebody, please. This is the best way I can express it, dear -GOD LOVES YOU and He cares for you very specially; don’t ever forget that.
…JOY to your hearts! :)

"Some persons are 'IMPRISONED'... BE YOUR (real) SELF!"

Some persons are "IMPRISONED", locked up within themselves... Many can't live life freely; they are not just themselves just because somebody somewhere has the control key and determines/dictates what they do at one point or the other.
For some, it is because of a partner in relationship or spouse in marriage who dictates their lifestyle! So they are "CAGED"! It's not always bad though provided it is for good reasons and not selfish reasons; else that will be a form of slavery (you can feel it within yourself). The worst of it is that most people are controlled by the "devil" himself! And they've become "loyal slaves" to him -"CAPTIVES OF THE MIGHTY"!

Come out! Come out of your bondage! Be free! Live your real life! Live without fear! Stop living a borrowed, programmed or dictated life! Be who you really are! Yes, BE YOU! Befriend Jesus and BE FREE!
For "... you will know the TRUTH and the truth will set you free! (John 8:32) Those who know Him are as bold as a lion. Be yourself, pls! You can! YOU CAN BE FREE!
May God deliver all those who are held captive... May God deliver! IJN.
The truth is, Life has not begun until you become WHO YOU ARE MADE TO BE! SEEK... PURSUE that and BE YOUR (real) SELF!

"KEEP URSELVES PURE!"

If your mind/heart is not corrupt...
Again, EXCEPT... UNLESS something is wrong somewhere... the ability to amuse or make each other laugh (in a relationship) is enough romance not until you #TOUCH... or take off your #underPANTS!
‪#‎KeepUrselvesPure‬!
PLUS...
If the guy is "REAL", you don't have to take off your #clothes to excite him! And as a matter of fact, he doesn't have to touch you to feel your #sweetness! Huh? "All my #single #ladies"?!!!
... JOY to your hearts!

"MY HUSBAND SHOUTS AT ME IN PUBLIC."

I just hope I'm not going to #retaliate one day, when I can't take it anymore. I just want him to stop giving me this....... this public #disgrace!"
That's it. So friends, what's your suggestion? Hmmm... I think somebody is about to #explode! It is well...

"IS IT COMPULSORY THE COUPLE OR FAMILY MEMBERS TO GIVE OUT GIFTS TO THE GUESTS AT A WEDDING CEREMONY?"

Phew! Thank God it's Friday! :)
Hi there! How's been your week? Another weekend is here! Great! And I’m sure many of us will be preparing to attend weddings tomorrow… ;) Perhaps a relative’s or friend’s wedding; Okay.... meanwhile, let’s consider something about one of the usual practices in wedding ceremonies -PRESENTATION OF GIFTS Hmmm... interesting, isn't it?
So what about it? okay... Let’s take a short stroll through some instances that should lead us to the question I’m about to ask. So we go!
A friend of mine was planning his wedding and just some few weeks before the wedding, another friend of his came visiting; on his move out of my friends room, he left these words with him (my friend), “I’m coming to your wedding with a gift for you… make sure you reserve my own gift for me; whatever you’re going to share.” At another wedding, a woman went after the bride’s brother, after the wedding ceremony had ended to demand for her own gift because she dropped a gift for the couple. Yet another wedding – I overhead someone complaining to his friends, “How can I come to a wedding and will not go home with a gift… After I spent my money, I sprayed them when they danced, I also gave them a gift! And what do I have to show for all these?”
Hmmm... ??? Now, the question is this –
"IS IT COMPULSORY THE COUPLE OR FAMILY MEMBERS TO GIVE OUT GIFTS TO THE GUESTS AT A WEDDING CEREMONY?"
Let's talk, friends. What do you think?

A young man would like to know and here's his question in a nutshell:

“How can I become friendly? Many people say I’m too serious. What do I do?”

"Okay now, tell me... Do you really love me or you love their money more than you love me?"

Please, follow the trend of the story you’re about to read and tell us your opinion.

There’s a young man who met this lady one day so they became friends and after some time, they started a relationship. They were really getting on well but one day, the guy discovered that the lady was having an affair with another guy. (aw!) Soon after that, he got to know that it was not only one man but they were even many! What she did was to keep those guys so that she could get some fast bucks from them, not without sleeping with them anyway. You might find it funny that after a little quarrel between both of them over this new discovery, I don’t know what the lady did to the guy or should I say I don’t know what came over him, the guy gave his consent! He supported her to continue and they enjoyed the plunder together. Perhaps the guy was actually expecting that his girl would change someday and such nonsense would stop; but how wrong he was! He waited and waited until he got mad! He didn’t lose his senses anyway but he just couldn’t take it any longer. So he called his girl to a “round table” talk.

“Girl, I can’t take this anymore. I don’t intend to leave you or break up with you but you have to… I mean, you must stop this!”

But yours truly, Babe declined! Guy felt disappointed and roared,

“What do you mean you can’t stop?! Are you crazy or something? I said I’m tired of sharing you with other men. You’re not a bitch, come on!...” But it was all a waste of time. So Guy became curious,

“Okay now, tell me, I really want to know. Do you really love me or you love their money more than you love me? You have to choose one between both of us.”

Have you ever felt humiliated, reduced to nothing? I tell you something, this guy got the shocker of his life when Babe replied. You know what she said?

“MONEY! YES, MONEY! That’s what I love! What’s the point having you without money? I need the money. So please…”( :o )

Hmmm… Will wonders ever end? The story didn’t end there, dear reader because the guy is still madly in love with her. He is not willing to let go of his girl, I mean the girl who chose to love money over him! Dicey! Isn’t it?

So reader, what’s your assessment? Have you got any counsel for either of the duo? Thanks for reading and for your comments too, in advance!

One Buyer vs Two Sellers Tussle! "...how do we handle this kind of issue...?"

I’m sure many of us would have #encountered something similar to what I’m about to share. Please read and tell us your opinion.

“Hian! See me see #trouble o! I have these two customers who I usually #buy things from. I will not mention their names, what they #sell or their #locations because I don’t want them to #suspect anything. It was initially one of them before the other person started the same #business and very close to each other and both of them are my friends. When the second #friend started her own, I knew there was going to be trouble but I didn’t know it had started already #between both of them until one day when I went to buy something from my old customer and I noticed she was #grumbling, #complaining that I have stopped #patronizing her as before. Hian! I #patronized the new #customer on another day and she was like, I’m being #partial; she complained that I buy more things from the other person than I buy from her. Ooh! So what will I do? Definitely, I cannot #divide myself into #two. Please O…….how do we #handle this kind of #issue because I don tire!”

WHY DO WE WORSHIP/PRAISE GOD?

Why do you #Praise? Is it only because of what he has done for you? Those things you #tag GOOD? Or do you #worship Him for who He is; because of His great #FAITHFULNESS? If you worship #God only when things are smooth for you and when things are rough, you go on holidays; then… I’m afraid...  I remember vividly those years when I used to hear… that #VOICE – daunting, taunting & #CRUEL! Always asking me for sufficient or pleasant #reasons to praise (NOW); I’m talking about those times when the #vision is blurred and the #heart #bleeds; when it is hard to utter the words, “GOD IS GOOD.” (You’re familiar with such times) You know this few words (GOD IS GOOD), simple as they appear, could be very heavy to utter! At times, you’d choose to throw them away! “Who cares! Where was God when all these were happening to me? … To hell with them!” (That’s what the attitude screams! Some people even shout it!) But by the mercies and grace of God, I learnt a lesson from Job, after he received the woeful news and all hell broke loose! What did he do? (Job 1:20-22)
“… Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said, ‘Naked I came from my mother’s #womb, and #naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the #LORD be praised.’ IN ALL THIS, JOB DID NOT #SIN by charging God with wrongdoing.”
At this period, #Job was as good as dead for the #fire burning in his bones –he had just lost virtually EVERYTHING! But wisdom taught him that with God -as long as He stayed glued to God, HE COULD #RECOVER ALL in #SURPLUS! Wow! I got it! I got the secret of REAL #JOY! That’s it! So my eyes became opened –heart leaping for joy & eyes lit in #amazement. I knew deep within that I FOUND A #TREASURE –a part NO ONE CAN TAKE FROM ME!
Do you know your worship or praise is not just a means of #appreciation of what you receive? It’s beyond that! We #owe Him our worship –the #totality of our life! WORSHIP is YOUR DUTY! “He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love #mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8) #Fear God, keep His #commandments –that’s the WHOLE #DUTY OF MAN! (Eccl. 12:13)
And guess what? Since I got it right, there’s another voice I’ll call it #NEW –still, small but loving! You know what it says to me? “My #grace is #sufficient for you.” O my God! Don’t go yet; there’s another…
“If you faint in the day of #adversity, your strength is small.” (Proverbs 24:10) Wow!
So I challenge you friend, with the NEW LIVING TRANSLATION version of same verse,
“If you fail under #pressure, your #strength is too small.”
If you stand up under it, by His grace, even in the midst of #pains or #tears… you can praise God. The time of #troubles should push us closer to God -it’s the time to worship Him more #intensely! Yes, WE CAN! Satan, shame unto you!
OUR GOD REIGNS!!!

*Let us always remember, we cannot just worship God at will; WE WERE MADE TO #FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD –THAT’S WORSHIP! It is our DUTY… OUR LIFE, OUR ALL!

... JOY to your hearts!

"So tell me, how can I have more children if the man I call my husband does not even touch me?"

You don't have any #idea of the #ordeals those you see #smiling out there are passing through "behind the #scenes"; unless they open up to you. I came across this young #woman who told me a shocking #story when we got deep in a discussion recently -

"So tell me, how can I have more #children if the #man I call my #husband does not even touch me? He no longer sleeps in the same #room with me, he #treats me like a #slave in the #house! I'm very sure he has been sleeping around with those stupid #girls! Everyone is just praying for me but it cannot work. (What?) Of course, it can't work! Will #God come down and put the #baby inside my #womb? I'm I #virgin #Mary? I'm #sick and tired of this whole thing! I feel like packing out of that house. I don't even know what I'm still doing there; after all, he is always singing it into my ears that he is not #married. And he is right! I found myself in his house because I got #pregnant for him. I've been #trapped in there for more than a #decade where I don't even know how or when I'm ever going to be #free from this #mess. (sobs) I'm sick... I'm sick... I'm tired! (sobs... sobs...)"

What would you #suggest? Do you think the woman in the story should stay or #pack out of her... her... em...? (I'm wondering if I should call it her #matrimonial #home. Is it?) Have you got any other helpful idea? And if all you can do is to #PRAY, please, do remember her in your private #prayers. hmmm... what you have just read, is only a TIP of the #iceberg, trust me. Don't worry about her name, God knows exactly who she is. Thank you all.

"YOU CAN BE FREE!"

Klunonido Bisola Ajo‎ shared her post in Worship with Solomon

"But... how can one #man bear the #suffering of the whole #world?
He allowed himself to be #wounded... he received the #stripes for every #single #person even before they are #born! And those #injuries are just enough to #satisfy... to #heal every one of us! Even me! Wow! To me, that's #AMAZING!!!"

#JESUS has #suffered for that too... Yes, THAT! You can be#FREE now, you can #rise above it -whatever it is... just #believe that He has taken your #punishment, your #pain, your #disappointment, your #failure, your #oppression, your #suffering, your #sickness... all of your #labour and #burdens. Just Believe in Him & #Release it to Him #NOW.
Yes, #YOU CAN BE FREE!

"CAN WE TALK ABOUT 'APRIL FOOL'?"

Bankole Andrew Abioye

posted this-

 

CAN WE #TALK ABOUT " #APRIL FOOL"? THIS WILL #CHANGE YOU #FOREVER!!!!
What is #Aprilfool all about?... ummm you #lie to a #person, or #deceive your #neighbor to a point whereby he believes its the #truth ... then suddenly before he #discovers, you #tell him, it was all a lie!!!

Well my #opinion changed several #years ago when my friend Anthony Christopher shared this scripture with me..... you will love it. here is the #Scripture
Prov 26:18-19
Like a #madman who casts firebrands, #arrows, and #death,
So is the #man who deceives his neighbor and then says, Was I not #joking?
AMP

Prov 26:18-19
Just as #damaging
as a madman shooting a deadly #weapon
is someone who lies to a #friend
and then says, "I was only joking."
#New Living Translation
Those who #engage in it are compared to mad men (osssh) casting #fire brands, arrows and deaths. BUT you might say," its just fun... no hard feelings attached". Well i just showed you what #GOD said..... one person must be wrong now EITHER YOU OR GOD.... MAKE A #CHOICE

"... how can I keep them away from my room?"

Please, read the text below, from a #youngman -

"How can I...... How can I.......... #How can I #stop them from coming? How? These #girls are always coming and I don't want to do it any more. #Please how can I keep them away from my #room? Somebody tell me how please!!!
Please hide my #identity Admin"

I think this is VERY #URGENT, friends. What would you #suggest?

"You may want to discourage it (masturbation) outside marriage but I AM MARRIED"

STILL ON #MASTURBATION –

When I #received this, at first, I felt an #aura of #confrontation trying to pounce on me… (uh!) All the more #reason I decided to share it with you, #reader and my #friends because I’d love you to make your own #comments; perhaps we’ll be able to build a formidable force against this “open” confrontation. (lol) Jokes apart, please... Here’s the post below:

“Hi, I read your recent #posts about Masturbation too. Besides, I’ve also kept a #close trail of all the comments. Well, it’s great, I would #say. Notwithstanding, I think my idea about this thing is #different when practiced in #marriage. You may want to #discourage it outside marriage but I AM #MARRIED. I’m #justified to have #sex anytime I want it but what if my #partner is not around to keep me warm? Some of us don’t always have our #spouses around us to keep us #company so whenever I feel #lonely, I help myself out! Yes……. I do it! And I don’t see anything wrong about masturbation IN MARRIAGE. Will anyone #crucify me for that? To me, it’s not a #sin. It’s better than running after other #men or other people’s #wives.” (Identity hidden as usual)

Hmmm… Friends, what do you think about this? Are you in support or you’ve got a #contrary view? Please, feel very #free (as ever) to #share your #opinion on this.

"I HAVE BEEN MASTURBATING... I don't think it's a good idea... help to stop this thing."

“Something tells me your latest #post has #something to do with me. I’m not saying it was my story. What I mean is that the boy’s #story has something in common with #mine. I came across your post about that #boy, I read it, I followed the #comments as well. I think I can get what I #need here. I HAVE BEEN #MASTURBATING. Really this thing is so #inviting, really it’s #sweet, the #pleasure has become #irresistible to me. But I think I want to #stop. It’s okay to stop it because I don’t think it’s a #good #idea. Why I am #telling you my story is because I need to get some #help to stop this thing. It’s #driving me #crazy! I prefer to keep my #identity #hidden so please #leave it that way. Thank you.” -anonymous

"... he couldn’t stay 10 seconds... without touching his manhood."

Hello, friends!
Here is a #story I received from a #woman –

“Recently, I attended an #occasion with one of my #friends who also came along with her #son. The #boy should be in his late #teens. But I observed something very #disgusting about the boy, he couldn’t stay 10 #seconds; note, not #minutes, “seconds”; he couldn’t stay 10 seconds without #touching his #manhood. You think that’s an #exaggeration? Believe me, that’s even an #understatement! His #fingers were always there, #fiddling with it, almost every second (you know what I’m talking about). Suddenly I became #irritated and I asked her in #Yoruba #language,
‘Ki ni gbogbo eleyi gan an?’ (What’s the #meaning of this?)
The woman replied, ‘E wa gba mi! O ya mi lenu o!’ (Please, help me! I’m #surprised!)
Then she #continued, ‘I can’t #understand what has happened to my boy. I observed this new #habit after he returned from #school a few days ago. He attends a #boarding school. I don’t know who got my son into this #mess and in fact, you’d hate the #sight when he’s #sleeping. Presently, I think I’m #confused because I don’t even know where to start from.’
I saw deep #distress in her eyes when she spoke. But I was #blank? I didn’t know what to say? Can you help me out, please?”

What do you #suggest, friends?

NOT at the EXPENSE OF YOUR DIGNITY!

"WHO HAS WOE? WHO HAS RED EYES?"

29 WHO HAS #WOE? Who has #sorrow?
Who has #strife? #Who has #complaints?
Who has needless #bruises? WHO HAS #BLOODSHOT (#RED) EYES?
30 Those who linger over #wine,
who go to #sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red,
when it #sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a #snake
and #poisons like a #viper.
33 Your #eyes will see strange sights,
and your mind will imagine #confusing things.
34 You will be like one #sleeping on the high #seas,
lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not #hurt!
They #beat me, but I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up
so I can find another #drink?” (#Proverbs 23)

(O LORD! Please, help us to be #wise.)

You hate all men because of one man?

"If you hate all men because of one man, one day, you’re going to hate all women because of one woman, later on, you might hate all children because a child peed on you; perhaps an evil day will come when you will hate everything BECAUSE ONE THING GOT YOU ANGRY and if you have the power, you will destroy everybody and everything; that is, if you are able to overcome the urge to commit suicide. Is that what you want?"

Benita says, "I hate men!"

From Benita:

“My #fiancé #broke up with me for his ‘#ex’. I met him a few #years after both of them had a #misunderstanding and according to his #story, (which I #believed) the #reason they had to go their #separate ways was because it was really #difficult to get along with each other after the #disagreement between them. He #promised me that that was the end of it and I believed him again because he did almost everything to #prove to me that he was in #love with me. #Unfortunately for me after about 5 years of our smooth #relationship, he came to my #house one day to tell me that his 'Ex' came begging him and he had decided to take her back! I was #puzzled! At first, I thought it was a #joke but… that was how he broke up with me. Though I really love him and I gave it my all but I can’t help regretting it all now. Right now, I’m feeling he only #used me and #dumped me. But why? Did I make a #mistake loving him? Why are #men so #wicked? Well, I’ve learnt my lesson. I will never be a #fool again, NEVER! I #hate men."

How would you respond to this, friends?

Is GRACE a replacement for DISCIPLINE?

What we #need sometimes is not GRACE but DISCIPLINE. When you #refuse to #act, just sit there, asking for #grace when all we need is to #apply #discipline. Can you #imagine #Joseph lying in the #bosom of #Portiphar’s #wife or carrying her on his #laps, #romancing and #praying, “O #God, please #help me…”? Tell me if God will also do for #man what he has given him (or her) the #power to do for himself. Will He? Huh?

Everybody is important

#Everybody you #come #across in #life has a #role to #play in your life; and #vice #versa.

If You're Single (though you ought to be #married), God Has Not Forgotten You

Do you say to yourself,

“I'm #single and God has #forgotten me, He has not given me a #spouse yet!” If that is you, may it not be so, for #God #numbers the very #hairs on your #head, He has not forgotten you.

 

 What? How can God #forget the #work of His #hands? The very one He #proudly made in HIS #OWN #IMAGE? It's #impossible!

"You paid for me? But you are younger!"

"Please hide my #identity,
I need either a #confirmation or #correction on this #issue, please. I took a #public #transport yesterday and when I #stretched my #fare to the #bus conductor, #somebody tapped me from behind, "Ma, please, don't #pay; I've #paid for you." Hmm..... That's a #younger one! I turned to look -she's really younger! I was #surprised, #delighted but at the same #time, not #comfortable about it. In fact I wanted to #return her #money and also pay for her but I had to #think #twice. It's been on my mind since that time. I feel it's not #right. I should pay for her because I'm #older. Isn't it?"

What do you think, people? Let's attend to this!

SEIZE THE DAY!

#CHOOSE your #LIFESTYLE carefully; #ARRANGE your #LIFE #PATTERN wisely; seek #counsel, GET #WISDOM. Many have walked #paths they #wish they never came across; some are #living in #regrets that can never be #corrected for the rest of their #lives…

So DON’T even #START IT at all! Rather, #seize the #day while YOU still HAVE the #OPPORTUNITY.

SEIZE THE DAY!
