I almost had an accident this morning on my way to work.

Getting to the T junction to cross, it's normally a busy road, especially in the morning and closing hour at noon.

The road safety officer beaconed on the car where I stood to move, while he stopped movement from another direction.
I also used the opportunity to cross the road, In a blink looking to my side, I saw a red car at speed, with lights on 😬
Oh my God, Maybe I increased my speed is what I can't explain but I found myself crossing and moving fast 🤔
The shock still dey my body, the rest of the trekking was just saying Thank you, Jesus

Several thoughts filled my mind like; would I have been rushed to the hospital alive or dead on the spot?

I know we all have our different day-to-day experiences, going out and coming back safely is a huge testimony.
I tell you no matter what you are going through, being alive means there is Hope for better days.
Trust God, trust the process
Be grateful

My thanks to JESUS for preserving me 🙌

DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR HEALTH WHILE HUSTLING

So many times in the bid for survival we neglect our health. We want to make that money, pay bills, enjoy life, support family. There is the pressure to live large, not our faults just the society demanding a better life from us.
It's disheartening seeing so many young people losing their lives all in the name of hustling. We procrastinate medical checkups, believing the pain will go naturally. Some don't even take medication at all.
In as much as we pray, trusting God, we also have a part to play.

My counsel to you;
Don't end your life in an attempt to end poverty,
Work hard and rest well,
Don't hesitate to ask for assistance,
Hire help if necessary. If you are self employed, please hire an assistant or sales person. Don't feel you can do it all.
And eat healthy.
3 John 1:2

Have got a God who g*t my back 💪

I recently remembered the excitement I felt when I gained admission into The Polytechnic, Ibadan as a sixteen-year-old. I couldn’t wait to leave the watchful eyes of my guardian and live life on my own terms.
For the first time in my entire life, I’m going to be staying alone in my own apartment. As in, my own apartment!
Faaaaaaar away from the reach and hold of my parents and no sibling close by to snitch on me.
Wow!
I’m finally a big boy in this life!
Lol!

After a few weeks on campus, I was bored to the bone. I wanted to live the big boy life but I didn’t know how… lol.
I wanted to go to parties but I had no one to invite me.
So, I become quite intentional about making the kinds of friends that would lead me into the kind of life I desired.
I met a guy in school one day and loved his vibes. Before the end of the week, I invited him over to be my roommate. He was the perfect match for a soul like mine that desired adventure.

Within one month, my apartment became a sort of mecca for rascals, cultists and guys without any ambition. We would spend our day gambling and our evenings at the “joint”. My room smelled perpetually of ci******es and there were at least four people staying in my room at any given time.
My aged landlord could not believe the transformation he saw in me. The quiet lad of last month has become a lousy lot.

Looking back at that ignorant phase of my life, I observed that I jettisoned the commandment of my parents in a bid to please my wayward friends. I so desperately wanted to prove to them that I’m not a Mummy’s boy.

But something was happening, while I was moving away from being obedient to my parents, I was moving under the "commandment" of my friends.
I desired to experience freedom but I was actually surrendering my obedience to the dictates of my friends. In reality, I was moving from submission to my parents to submission to my friends. I lived for their validation. I erroneously thought I was finally free from being a slave to my parents’ instructions but I was only switching masters!
And what a Master those guys turned out to be!

One of my takeaways from that experience is that there is no true freedom in the literal sense of the word. No one is truly free as we all are slaves to something or someone. Everyone in this world is a slave in one way or the other, it is only our Masters that are different.
Let me explain.

There are people who malign the discipline and denial it takes to be a believer and laugh Christians to scorn.
They swear they can never subject themselves to such a prohibitive lifestyle but when we look deeper, we find these very people are slaves to worldliness.
These are the people that will sell their very soul to the devil in exchange for ephemerals.

The same people that deride certain Christian denominations for taking modesty too far will wear anything to please the god of lust in the name of fashion.
Those that claim that only foolish people give a portion of their income to God will spend lavishly in club houses and joyfully fund sin.

In the end, everyone willingly or unwillingly heeds to the counsel of Joshua who said, “Choose, whom you shall serve…”.(Joshua 24:15)

In another word, Joshua said “Choose your chains.”

That any man or woman is free is simply not true. We are created for service. We can either serve God or serve gods.

As for me, I have since chosen my chains.
I have decided to bind my fetters to the feet of the cross of Jesus.
Him will I serve with my life.
As I have lived my life as a slave of unrighteousness when I served the devil, I am purposed to unashamedly live the remainder of my life as a slave of righteousness under Christ.

I have chosen my chains.

Have you chosen yours?
..I speak after the manner of men because of the weakness of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. Romans 6:19

Happy New Week!

Sometimes God closes doors because, it's time to move forward. He knows you won't move unless the circumstances force you.
Trust the transition.
God g*t you.
