Disobedience.

It is with a great Joy that we have been saddled with the grace to address us this day having been silent for a very long time due to some factors beyond our power.
We say: compliment of the season to everyone, God bless you!

We will be taking a few minute to look at the word "Disobedience". My Dictionary put it so plain as " refusing or failing to obey". But I wish to define it as "doing something you are not supposed to do, be it at the right or wrong time."

I remember back then when I use to steal from mum's pot. The perfect time to do the operation was when no one was in the house, but does a successful operation denote or make-right the simple instruction: no one should open the pot? No!

We have so much abhor disobedience in church to the extent that disobedience no longer has its own colour, it looks exactly like obedient ( so beautiful, so plain, so concise).

ARE YOU AN INSTRUMENTALIST?
Do you stop the beat when you are ask to or you keep playing because the people are still dancing and cheering rapturously?

ARE YOU A MINISTER?
Are you a preacher in this group? Of course we are... Do you stop when the holy spirit ask you to stop or you still ride on because the people are echoing- ride on Sir? My brother, you are riding to hell, you are riding on a flat tyre, and you know that's dangerous. Wait! Watch your back or else, they will kill you with motivation.
Now listen to what God is saying: because what you are about doing is right does not give you the ground to lay its foundation on disobedience.
Sometimes ago I attended a youth program which I was fortunate to be the moderator. At a certain point in time an instruction was given before hand that those with testimony should send their names to the moderator. If I could remember vividly, only 3 persons adhered to the instruction. When the time for testimony drew nigh, people walked up to me, "Sir,  i have a testimony", guest what? I told them plain,  "you are not testifying, not again tonight".  I tell you, the whole hell broke loose. 

Now bring back your minds,  let's reason like Minister whom God in His mercy has put in place to bear the burden of the kingdom. The issue is- some of them do not think it's necessary to give their names to the moderator,  while some are still contemplating whether or not to testify, they just have to weigh it in a balance. 
E. L. Teddy said in one of his works (The Collection), " if your wish-to-do is subjected to debate, wait, and look for the perfect speaker". 
Listen,  if you are uncertain about a testimony you are about to give, please put it aside, you are about to lie, you are about to entertain the church, and you will never receive any blessing. Even my kids in the Children Ministry cannot try the nonsense. 

ARE YOU A PROPHET /PROPHETESS? 
Have you become so famous that you begin to coin your own words, you speak when the Lord has not spoken? Even a sorcerer can do that! 
Now if you are reading this message and you fall among this sect of God's agent,  be very, very, very careful because fame is about to deny you Christ if you should dance to its tone. If God is moody over disobedience, it simply means it is a SIN. And there is only one good thing you can and should do to SIN, "Repent". 
Remember this- the problem with well connected men of God is that SIN that looks like holiness. Therefore,  always spot them out and trash them,  there aren't useful. 
God bless you!

 " If I had to give young writers advice, I'd say don't listen to writers talking about writing" - Lilian Hellman Addressing young writers, Lilian Hellman aired her opinion in what seems to be young writers want-to-hear statement (e.i what should I do as a young writer who wants to succeed in my writing career?). Well, she did justice. Hellmann's piece of advice doesn't just revolve around writing, it could be applied to all facets of human endeavor/profession. Could one ever say that Hellman was ignorant of the fact and need for young writers to seek advice regarding their pursuits in life which may likely help them? No. Hellman understood that some of these advice poses great fear and disbelief in oneself. Sometimes those you seek advice from kills the to-do and to-be spirit in you, or still, inject in you something that will always question every progressive steps you take. Some years ago(when I wanted entering the university), I went and seeked advice from...

TO MY BELOVED DAUGHTER

Thoughts Appetizer  Google Blog Online. Dear Jessica,  It gladens my heart watching you grow to becoming who I had raised you to be. It wasn't easy, but of a truth, I can tell you that the result is worth the suffering, and I shall never again be subjected to that level of having to live below my wants just to make sure you are okay.  Today I believe so much in you as my right hand child, my very strength to feel among, and to recover that which I have lost in the cost of raising you. But, no one takes it all! You've only sailed through a phase, another has opened, and here, you are likely to be a total stranger, an alien. What you don't know, you don't know; and unless you are told, you are bound to misbehave. At this level where my little efforts have propelled you, I can boldly say that to a very great extent, you have power, you have voice, you have decision.  But you should also understand that- the days are evil. Today, you have a good paying job, your own hous...

Correction for growth

  “If you've not seen anything wrong with your yesterday then you aren't growing, and I must congratulate you for giving ego such a big name. But I have to say this: that man(ego) is planning to sift you like wheat” A man's growth should be such that- when he looks at yesterday, he sees those things he did not do well and improve upon them. That's why we need and have innovation. Our characters, social life, moral upbringing, even in our thoughts, they should be linked to this principle without which we will be doing same thing and expecting a different result. This-is-how-they-use-to-do-it or This-is-how-I-use-to-do-it is primitive, archaic. A person affected by this self made dogma has a brain aboriginally designed to reject the true future, you are designed for isolation.  Paraphrasing his statement- Ryan Holiday said: men of principle rarely go without having to compromise their principle(s). Sometimes it doesn't mean that these principles are bottle-necked, it...
