About Me

My photo
My life is my life and I will not trade it for anything except Christ, even saying that I still ask for strength on a daily basis to live by it. Life itself is a roller coaster with fluctuating emotions such as pain, agony, victory, defeat, so on and so forth. However, I believe it is the uncertain situations in life that shape us into the individuals we are today and are to become. Basically, what I am trying to say is, your past can shape and influence the future in a major way. My real name in translation means “Born in Wealth.” I was born in Lagos, Nigeria in the year of the Dragon and as far as I can remember, it’s been a bumpy ride. Growing up in Nigeria was intense and a bit tedious, for lack of better words. It is a “No padi for jungle” time zone, with the motto of “Shine your eye,” which pretty much adds up to "every man for himself." It is a place where everyone wants to go to heaven, however, no one wants to die to get there. Growing up as a child, I learned a lot through folktales and such. I remember sitting by the burning firewood at night listening to my grandmother's stories of enlightenment. These stories had morals that shaped my thinking and mentality today.

All of creation







From Mammoth Mountain with the most snowfall in the world
To the Amazon with rainfall like unending love
And don’t forget the Iroko tree in Nigeria that towers above
From the countryside to the exquisite cities abroad
Even the beautiful Salto Ángel waterfall knows you are God

Imagining the savage, blistering cold in Vostok
And the Lut Desert with heat temperatures untold
From the shattering wind gusts in Australia so bold
To the devastating humidity that Bangkok unfolds
I will search for your special hold
Regardless of the rugged terrain or treacherous roads

The world is in your hand and your presence is everywhere
I can search the entire universe, to you nothing compares
You took only six days and even had time to rest
The psalmist said it best; all of creation speaks of your greatness …

Myself




Myself


Can I? Should I? Would I?
Whole-heartedly serve God, Do I?
A question I ask myself
I will never tell another lie
Wow, that’s another lie to myself
Self-gratification, High five to myself
All things must become new
So I said bye to myself
They told me about Jesus
Consequently I seek for myself
My testimony is something I cannot keep to myself
Meditating on his Word
It preached to myself
Pleasing God by my faith
I have to believe for myself
Jesus died for our sins to save the world and myself
Can I? Should I? Would I?
Whole-heartedly serve God, Do I?
A question I ask myself

Stewardship

Give an account of thy stewardship.  
       

Who is a steward? 


A Steward is one who is employed to transact the business of another, as his agent or representative in the business in which he is employed.


Ø  His duty is, to promote, in the best possible manner, the interest of his employer. He is liable at any time to be called to an account for the manner in which he has transacted his business, and to be removed from his office at the pleasure of his employer.


Ø  God treats us as such, and removes us at his pleasure and disposes of the property in our hands, which he would not do did he not consider us merely his agents, and not the owners of the property.


1 Chronicles 29:14 But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you have already given us!


Ø  A steward cannot be idle


Ø  A man that is idle, is dishonest; forgets his responsibility, refuses to serve God, and gives himself up to the temptations of the devil. Basically, the idle man tempts the devil to tempt him. Idleness is a snare or trap to the soul.


Ø  All men/women were created to be God's stewards for kingdom business

GOD IS LOVE





  

Love brings unity
Love is kind
Love can attract
Love makes one shine
Love yourself …
Love the Church body
Love the Holy Word
Love to meditate & study
Love conquers all
In whatever hatred brings
Love stands out
In every little thing
Love endures long suffering
It might be hard
Ask & receive
Trust in the Lord
God is love
Love is sacrifice
For he so loved the world
He gave his only son Jesus Christ
Don’t give up on love
When it seems it’s lost
With God there is hope
Because he paid the cost
Love is forgiveness
He forgives your sins
Hear the knocking on the door
Let Jesus Christ come in
Love should be unconditional
That is the honest truth
Love is love
Be a living proof

Farewell


_______________________________________________________

I plead thee farewell in your new chapter
May our memories bring you nothing but joy and laughter
Together we all jumped over many obstacles and bites from the viper
I hate to see you go, but God is in control
He is the captain of your faith and the master of your soul
Put Him first and He will quench your thirst
Put him last and you will repeat the class
I will sincerely miss you
May all your dreams come true
Yes sir!
May God lift you up over your oppressors
Keep on reaching out for your aspirations, even if you face the unknown
The sky is your stepping stone; your first step sets the tone
Your future will be brighter; I confirm it in Jesus name
He is the author and finisher of your faith, that’s simple and plain
May our memories bring you nothing but joy and laughter
I plead thee farewell in your new chapter

Umbilical cord











Much appreciated, I have been elevated and separated
I have been set aside, consecrated and sanctified
My soul realizes as I arise, brought back to life
I was once blind now I can see, to Him I give glory
I was once lost but now I am found
I send my praise towards heaven with magnification
Embracing your love, acknowledging you are God
May I forever be attached to you Lord
Please don't cut the umbilical cord

to be continued...

Who am I in God’s eyes?





I am special, created with a purpose
Highly favored, protected from the locust
I am blessed with life after death
I do my best in faith, God does the rest
I am protected, guarded by angels
Sanctified, set aside, consecrated for the Lord
I am heavenly sent, a blessing to others
The salt of the world, a Christian scholar
I am Beloved, truly loved by my Father
He orders my steps; I’m bound to go further
I have been washed by the blood of Jesus
I am a child of God, I repent he forgives us
He blesses … he blesses me, myself and I
 I will bring glory to God, the Most High
A chosen generation in the presence of devastation
We are love, joy, peace and no segregation
I am here to help save the lost …
I am prepared to be a bridge for the lost to cross
Moreover, I am a fisher of men, women and children
I am a friend to the friendless who is in need of a friend
I am filled with the Holy Spirit for discernment
I am thankful for his provision and my contentment
I am in the Lord and the Lord in I
I am SOMEBODY in God’s eyes
I am more than a conqueror through Christ
I am of God who multiplies … He gives life
I am kind, patient and working on my long suffering
I am not perfect, however, I lack nothing
I am called to love and to serve my brethren
Brethren, we are called with one vision
We are all in one body with many calling …
I am talented as I have been blessed with talent
A talent is a gift in the form of an investment
God willing, I bring many happy returns
Keep in mind, if you play with fire, fire burns
I am a disciple in Christ, learning to be wise
Being wise is securing your soul then your life
I am free from all demonic shackles
I am bought with a price, so I’m set loose
I am a believer and a believer in the word of truth

I am not boasting, but truly humbled in His presence
Heavenly Father it is you I reverence 
It is you Father I live to satisfy
I am Beloved, specially sanctified in God’s eyes

Learn how to cook egusi soup




Learn how to cook egusi soup ... 

Egusi soup, also called melon soup is an absolute delightful delicacy enjoyed all over West Africa, especially amongst Nigerians anywhere they live.
It is arguably the most popular Nigerian soup, especially in the Southern part of that country.


Are you new to Nigerian foods, and trying to learn nigerian recipes, then egusi soup is a sure place to start from. It is easy to cook. It is quick to cook too. The real egusi soup is prepared from egusi seeds, not pumpkin seed.
It is a spiced thick soup cooked with or without vegetables and fish or meat. It is highly nutritious, and very satisfying. Using egusi seeds will ensure you enjoy the unique flavour and satisfaction of agusi (egusi) or melon soup.
Where egusi or melon seeds are not obtainable, some have used pumpkin seeds, and even pepitas. Egusi can be obtained from most African food shops.
This soup is prepared basically the same way all over West Africa, but with some cultural and regional variations as in most dishes. We shall describe the most common or generally acceptable method of cooking egusi soup here.
