WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL: LET GOD DO THE THINKING

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? Matthew 6:25-27 KJV

 8 April, 2017

A lot of damages have been done to the human body and lives generally because we always try to figure out our lives by ourselves. People have died prematurely due to heart attacks and high blood pressure. Worst case scenario people had terminated that God given life in them by committing suicide. I read a gory story of a man who emptied a gallon of gasoline on himself and set himself ablaze, because he could neither afford tuition fees of his kids nor give his dead mum a proper burial. What terrible price men pay when they ignore the word of God.

If we are going to spend the remainder of our days on earth in health, peace and joy, we must listen to just what God says. To enjoy the full benefit of a product, it is advisable you adhere to the manufacturer’s instruction. We must adhere to the instructions of our creator because He designed us and is fully aware of our potentials; else we’ll malfunction and self-destruct. We were commanded not admonished, to take no thought or worry about the basic needs of life. How much more other complicated circumstances? If we are not to worry or think about how we’ll thrive, who does the thinking then? Isn’t it obvious yet that God does? Jeremiah 29:11.
Do your kids worry about what to eat and wear? No, they have you for that.  They only ask you to supply the request to their needs.

Allowing God be your Think-Tank will rescue you from many sleepless nights. Do not attempt to do God’s job because you’ll wear out in no time. It’s not in the job description of man to worry about the affairs of his life, his marriage, unemployment, health etc. Quit figuring things out, start giving it to God and you’ll get results. Two drivers cannot steer the wheel of a car at the same time. Let it go and God would latch unto it. Make sure you are giving up all your worries and thoughts to God daily because your health and life span depends on it.

DOWNPOUR

Joshua meador rainy windy day Shivering branches scares fleeing birds Waving clothes seeks The cozy corner of a wardrobe Palm trees block against the wind The sky pulls a curtain of blackness Fleeing kids, jumping Josh jams James Litters of rubbish terrified by drops Groaning doors and clapping windows Closing doors closes stalls Noisy roofs and flowing streams Across the street we see a wetting floor Speaking sky yells out thunder Fright and comfort Cool and noise Just another wet day on a suppose Sunday Paul Aremooluwa Copyright Content       2016 Next Poem

THE SISTERS KEEPER: THE EMOTIONAL DUTY

"...W e have brothers who are emotionally dead, having suffered a deathly “Stroke” in their feelings, incapable of sensing the feelings of others. As a result, Christian marriages and relationships is one of the most challenging ones not because of spiritual attacks but because we are emotionally deformed. " The phrase “Sisters Keeper” certainly doesn’t appear on the pages of the Bible. But I guess you’ve got a knack of all it’s about. It suggests being sincerely concerned for the state of being of female folks. In this context, I write strictly to the church of the Living God. On second thoughts this should have been titled, “Letter to insensitive brothers.” Let me indulge you for few seconds. Why do Christian sisters fall victim to deceivers? Why would they prefer to marry outside God’s fold? Why does it seem their heart is with God’s family but their eyes are ever wondering into the world (as it seems)? Why is there such an exploitation of your sister and my sister...

STORY: A DIARY OF TWO STRANGERS CHAPTER 2

... I turned my back on her exiting the scene, she had first grabbed at her chest, seeming to rip out her heart but grabbed her stomach rather, as if to bring a child out of it, like an evidence to refute my last words. She went down on the floor with a howling cry. I could care less if she wept... I banged the door so loud, the neighbours should have jumped out of bed… but they didn’t ... T hinking about it in this lonely park, I resented this night, “why did I have to come home tonight?” I said out loud.
