Her testimony really calls for THANKSGIVING...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL!!!

Irrespective of where you are based, I am wishing everyone on blogsville a Happy thanksgiving as America marks another thanksgiving.....I am thankful for quite a number of things but above them all, am thankful for my one and only kid sis whom, exactly a year ago, the Lord in His infinite mercies saved from the cold hands of death and also ensured that she witnessed her convocation day......Her story is one that calls for real thanksgiving and I am indeed thankful, little wonder that since last year she has christened herself "TESTIMONY".

Read her testimony in her own exact words....



My "no dulling moment" kid sister



"I want to testify to the goodness of God over my life.
Exactly a year ago… I travelled to Oyo state for my convocation. I had to travel a week before the program because I was yet to do clearance. I got to Oyo and dropped my bag at my cousin’s place and headed for school. I got to school very early that day and I was unable to do anything as regards my clearance till 4pm. I decided to go home and rest. I mounted a bike...myself and the bike man were arguing over the payment

“I said 30naira ni o…… d guy said 40naira ni ooo”  

……….little did I know that was the last thing we both were going to say to ourselves.

We had not moved for 3minutes when the bus before us stopped and the bike guy tried to overtake the bus only for us to be crushed by a trailer!!!!

That was it……I remember being under the trailer and the next minute I found myself across the road walking towards a shop. I looked back and saw people screaming and shouting……….. The trailer dint stop on time but I was not under the trailer but I was surprised the bike man was!!!

I stopped at a phone shop and told the girl there that I wanted to seat down…..she was shocked because my trouser n shoes were in pieces…….. I sat down and then told her that “ I had an accident just now” she got up and started shouting “ call ya papa and mama, wia u dey go? U be student? Wia ur house? Wia ur phone?” that was when I remembered that my phone, my bag and my documents were all under the trailer!!! I told the lady "my phone dey dia!" She called her brother to go and get my stuffs from the scene. Luckily for me, the guy came back with my phone and my bag along with all the pieces of my credentials!

I was surprised, I asked the guy about the bike man…..then he said “he don die”
Then, I got up and started crying…. Died!!! People gathered around me…… I picked my stuff and headed home.
That night I could not sleep… I kept thinking about the guy… I kept thinking why God saved me? Then I remembered we had been praying in church that   

My kid sis on her convocation day, few days after the accident.

“None will embark on a Journey of no Return”.

It’s been a year now… I bless God for keeping me; I bless him for today none of my friends and families have had the course to observe a minute silence for me. The devil tried so that I will not witness this day but he came too late. SHAME TO THE DEVIL!!!"



My sis and I some few years back...

It has been a year now and since that incident my sister's name on her fb page has changed to "adejoke TESTIMONY atanda"...

I am thankful to  God for making me to be thankful over her;

I am thankful today that we are not standing up and observing a minute silence for her;

I am thankful to God that my parents are not mourning over any three of us;

I am thankful to God for such a testimony; and

I am thankful today, to God for being true to His words and putting life in our confession, INDEED, WE SHALL NEVER EMBARK ON A JOURNEY OF NO RETURN!!!

Folks, I pray that thanksgivings and testimonies shall not cease from our lives and that songs of thanksgivings shall continually be sung by us all.

Once again, I say HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY PEEPS!!!

With Love and Prayers,

Omo'ba!

ADEBOLANLE MI, MY LOVER AND FRIEND!!!



love of my life....



There is this saying that “one do not toss one’s prized possessions or expensive jewelry around carelessly”, it is on this note that I have to chosen to celebrate my God given man on such a special day as this…..Yeah, I am screaming because it was my hubby’s day yesterday- 01-11-11 and I have chosen to celebrate him.

Adebola mi, I brag on God on your behalf for all He has done for you. I bless this day, some thirty “something” years ago, when you were birthed into the planet earth. I bless God that our paths crossed in life, I’m happy I said “I DO” to you, to the glory of God I have not had cause to regret my saying so. Your presence in my life has made me a better person, because you have taught me so many things. I cannot imagine my life without you and I forbid death for you and even for myself, our seeds, all our friends, family and loved ones.

Oh, the extent you have gone for me all in the name of love is unquantifiable. Words fail me at this time but memory do not..... I recall how you would travel all the way from Lagos to Ile-Ife, Obafemi Awolowo University just because of me; how you threw a birthday party for me at the New Buka in my 400Level; how you travelled all the way by road to the Nigerian Law School, Bwari Campus, Abuja just to encourage me as per my Bar Final Exams; how you encouraged me and financially assisted me to resit for my professional exams; how you kept confessing that I am the "mother of your children" even with no child on the way then, how you stood by me when I had a miscarriage and battled with depression, how you prayed for me when I was about to enter into the labour room; how you threw a surprise birthday party for me on my 30th birthday and got me lots of gifts and particularly presented me with a Blackberry Bold  97980; how you are always quick to say "I AM SORRY" whenever we quarrel and I am at fault; how you keep encouraging me to be the best that I can be ; how you have showered me with lots of attention, care and love since the day we began this journey of love.....



Hubby and I when we began the journey...



Honey, the truth is I could go on and on counting how blessed I am to be in this journey of life with you by my side. Ours is a love that will know no end, ours is a love worthy of emulation and I believe that it will definitely get better...

I celebrate you on this special days and even always! I pray this day that you will arise and maximise God's call upon your life. I pray that the singer in you will find more expression, I pray that the teacher in you will find a platform to express himself the more, I pray that you will fulfill purpose in life, I pray that you wont miss it in life. I pray that today will be the beginning if the best days of the rest of your life.

I promise to love you more with each passing day and to stand by you through thick and thin...

With love, prayers and fond memories,
omo'b'adeteju!

Yet another memorable day....

Today is the 21^st day of October 2011

 Exactly 18 months ago at about 11.30.a.m, my life and status changed. I became a life giver: a mother and I began another unending journey-the journey into motherhood….

Today, my little princess is 18 months old and I am thankful to God for having brought us thus far. He saw us through the sleepless nights, the challenging moments, the ups and the downs. It has simply been God all the way and I brag on Him for his Faithfulness. I have seen my little princess sit unaided, crawl and finally walk. Oh the smiles that shows up on my face when she mutters M-O-M or she goes DHA-DDIE…

Today, I remember the delivery day: How God simply took me to the delivery room and NOT the labour room. Her presence in my life has taught me how to be childlike in my relationship with God and even with people around me. Little wonder, Jesus says “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these………-(Matthew 19 v.14)”.

At times, my little princess is all tears probably for not wanting to take her bath, sit on her potty or just wanting to have her way and the next minute she is all smiles and laughter. Her childlikeness has taught me that life is all about ups and downs and how I must learn never to remain in my down moment.

Dear God, I thank you for the help in ages past, I hold on to you as my hope for the many more years to come and the prince on the way.

Folks, rejoice with me as I continue this interesting and unending journey!

WITH LOVE AND PRAYERS,

Omo’ba!

SEX TALKS

I was doing a clean up of my bedroom when I stumbled on this article. I can't remember where exactly I got the article, all I remember was that I got this article when I was a newly wed and it was sooo informing that I printed it out so that I can always read, infact I actually highlighted some statements in it that hit me.

 I am still a newly wed so to speak and this article is still indeed useful. I thought of what to do with it and I decided to be a blessing to the married.... The title is SEX ACCORDING TO PASTOR KHATHIDE from Uganda...you can google PASTOR KHATIDE to know more about him and his ministry...

HAPPY READING!!!

"A lot of people dont associate sex with God- they associate it with satan and darkness, as if sex weren't holy.
The bible is explicit when it comes to sex. Sex is holy within marriage, and there is no prescribed style. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the missionary position is the only sexual style. Not discussing sex in a relationship leads to divorce!!!

Pastor Khatide has counselled women who've complained: my husband treats me as if I were his brother. There was one who told him: I am tired of getting sex forthnightly, like a salary. Khatide told her she was lucky to be getting sex forthnightly, since some wives only get it on big days like elections.

Many husbands leave their wives to seek sexual pleasure in Hill brow. Have you ever asked yourself what those wives have that you don't? Wives have become very frigid and even sleep with their panties. IF YOU ARE A MARRIED WOMAN, YOU SHOULD SLEEP NAKED AND LET YOUR BUM TOUCH YOUR HUSBAND. (Emphasis mine)

Today you find men going out of their way to get a glimpse of a vagina. They page through magazines and even go to lingerie departments in stores hoping to see what's hidden under panties, because their wives hide it from them.

Marriage is about being free with your body in front of your partner. A woman should parade naked and do same modeling to tempt her husband. There are many married women who don't know what their husband's penises look like. They only feel it when it enters them. They have never switched off the lights before undressing. A penis is a wife's toy- she is supposed to play with it.

He blames couples for not making time for sex and complaining about being tired after a day's work. You find many coules who have been sexually starved for years.

God created sex for procreation and also for pleasure. You can't marry and not have a good time in bed. WHO SAID YOU CAN ONLY HAVE SEX AT NIGHT? Why can't you drive home during lunch and have a quickie with your wife? We are all equal in sex- its's not just about a woman satisfying a man. You have to satisfy each other. Have you ever seen a woman who has been satisfied? Have you noticed how she glows and become energetic? May the Lord bless you.

This is the "Whole Truth Nothing but the Truth" So God help us from the Beginning."

I hope my spirituality is still intact after this piece and I hope so too for you my dear readers......

Lets not just be a reader but a doer!!!

With love and prayers,
omo'ba.

...AND HE MADE A WAY!!!

Recently in my office, we got a new brief from one of our clients. We had never handled such transaction before and this brief was assigned to me, so I had to set the pace for subsequent and similar transactions. Our client was a top shot and this automatically implied that, more briefs will come in if we deliver prompt and efficiently. Besides, there was a timeline for this transaction. After enquiries and researches here and there, I commenced the work. Along the line, I made a mistake (I won’t call it a silly one but an innocent one). In an attempt to correct the mistake, I was told that the alteration would slow the pace of the work or succinctly put, halt the work. I was also informed that the process of alteration would take forever- my hubby also confirmed this since he is in the same industry.

I was at a loss and suddenly, these words jumped at me-“IT MAY LOOK LIKE THERE IS NO WAY-BUT GOD WILL CERTAINLY MAKE A WAY!!!’  With these words in view, I began the process of alteration.  I also updated the words as my status on face book. Ten (10) of my friends clicked the “like” button while five (5) friends also commented. Of the comments, one hit me hard because it was obvious that a friend also needed that assurance at that particular time. It is exactly a week today, folks, and I make bold to say MY GOD MADE A WAY!!! He has proven to be the God of all flesh with whom nothing is hard to be done. I’m happy to testify of my father’s miracle working moves…Mistakes altered and the transaction is in process…

Folks, morale of my story is simply to let you know that God is still in the business of performing signs and wonders. He is still a miracle working God.

Is it a particular job/position that you desire and they have told you-“you can’t get there because you don’t know anyone”??? Tell them you know a God who is OMNISCIENCE-He knows all things, He has complete knowledge and He will get you the job/position.

Have the doctors told you that there is no medically proven solution to your ailment? Tell them you serve a God that is OMNIPOTENT. He is a powerful God with an unlimited power and He will prove His healing power in your life.

What is the “BUT” in your life my dear friend??? I encourage you today that the same God who did it for me will do it for you.

HOLD ON, HELP IS ON THE WAY!!!

With love and Prayers,
omo’ba!

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE???

YES!!! that's the question on my mind right now and I have decided not to let go of this question until I get convincing answers to it. If you think you have the answer(s) to this question, please I will be happy to read your responses. I am doing a research on this question and I promise to come back to this forum to share my thots with you.

But really, have you ever pondered on this question before? Have you ever experienced a bad occurrence and the question on your lips was "WHY ME???". Have you ever questioned God just like Job's friends adviced him to, even to the extent of them saying he should curse God and die???  If yes, so how did you get out of the situation?

Dear folks, please I need you to go into deep thought and let me know "Why bad things should happen to good people???"

I will appreciate your comments on this.

With love and prayers, omo'ba!!!

DEAD TO ME!!!

HAPPY NEW MONTH PEEPS!!!

May these month of September usher in every of our expected miracles in Jesus name!!!

I apologise for my inactivity on my blog-page, i was experiencing "writers' block" but I made sure that i was not lacking in my weekly blog rounds at least...:)

A liitle research I did concerning the significance of number "9" when I was pondering on what this month holds for me, shows that 9 indicates fruitfulness (at least from the spiritual perspective), it's my earnest prayer that all through this month, we will experience fruitfulness in all areas of our lives.

 I have been reading a book titled "PRIDE MUST DIE" a collection of poems by our dearly beloved desperate naija woman. (You can check her blog out at http://www.diaryofadesperatenaijawoman.blogspot.com/)

Back to my thot, a particular poem jumped at me in the book and i thought it wont be a bad idea sharing it...The poem is titled "DEAD TO ME"...Significantly, i enjoin us all to allow the past months to be totally dead to us while we face the remaining few months in these years with full enthusiasm and faith.

Enjoy the poem:

Down with him I went

Deep into the water, we dipped

Washing away the old, the tainted,

Cleansing, Burying, the dead

Yes, Old Me. Old Man, Old Life

Now, you are dead to me

Go on, stay dead.

All those years, you led me

Down the wide path along with plenty

But one day, one sunny day, to God's side I faltered

I knelt at the foot of the cross, near the altar

Yes, right there, I drowned you in the powerful blood

And Jesus' life I took on

and now, Old Me, Old Man, Old Life

You are dead to me

Go on stay dead.

So dont you try coming back, you hear!

Your voice, your flesh, I know longer to adhere

A new creature I am, alive, living in HIM

You cannot control me, you cannot make me fear

Cos you are dead to me. No more power. No more my life can you steer

I am victorious, I am alive and you

Old Me, Old Man, Old Life

Are truly dead.

You hear???
