Party Rice.

Wonderful People of God!

How're we doing today? And how did the service go at our respective churches yesterday? Mine was beautiful and colourful as we had our family carnival. I had great fun cheering some of my team members from my corner.

To the gist of today(it's a long read but very interesting),  anyone who claims to be close to me must know that I don't really fancy rice as food; in fact, at home, I'd rather go for morsels than rice. However, there's a twist to this🙈😉-- clears throat, I really like party jollof rice💃.

You see, there are some life events that really excites me; they are weddings and naming ceremonies. The reasons aren't far-fetched, it is an introduction of a totally new beginning and of course, the party rice that comes with these events.

So, there are these beautiful blood of Jesus sisters of mine. Let's call them Ukot and Anra respectively. So it happened that someone was to have her child's naming ceremony, of course, I was very happy because there were no calamities and also, because of the party rice 😊😁. In the course of sharing my excitement about the naming ceremony, I told Anra I was looking forward to the party rice especially. All of a sudden, Ukot who wasn't really participating in the conversation said that I won't be given the party rice.

What?!🙄

I didn't allow it cool o, I told her immediately that I would but she won't be given. She took it really personal and said I wasn't supposed to talk that way and that she's God's daughter too, and can pray that there would be no party rice for me. I just smiled and told her to try it.

Lolz! Imagine serious drama from Ukot and I on somebody's party rice o. Anyways, I told her I said what I said because if she was interested in the party rice, she wouldn't have said that there wouldn't be for me. In summary, I apologized, told her I took back my words and there will be party rice for her, lol😁, and we moved on.

Then the D-Day came. After the ceremony, Ukot and I were privileged to be the song ministers for that day. You won't believe that we weren't served any party rice o; immediately I noticed that we weren't served, I sharply prayed to God to forgive us for playing with our sonship because of party rice. Lols. God had mercy, and someone suddenly remembered that the song ministers were yet to be served rice. In fact, I had a plate extra which I gave innocent Anra.

Morals, right? Don't let your desires drag you into being overconfident at the expense of other people's beliefs in God(during that brief misunderstanding, Ukot said I spoke to her like I was the only one who God answers, that meant that I passed a wrong message to her). Don't let your desires make you do or say things that will drag your spiritual sonship into the mud. Imagine two spiritual sisters quarrelling mildly because of party rice? 🤔. Chai, I don't want to ever be in that situation again with God by my side!

So, have you ever been in a similar situation? Mind sharing? How did you go out of it?

I look forward to seeing your comments. Don't forget that Jesus loves you and will do everything to make you smile.

God bless you!


PS: We still perceived a sweet aroma of party rice yesterday, and together, we echoed, “party rice,” and laughed!

  1. Lol, but I think it's the same (or almost the same) when we pray God to punish (or destroy by fire, or make the ground to swallow etc) our enemies, while we always ask for God's mercies and forgiveness for ourselves. Some (or should I say all) of these enemies are also loved by God and HE wants them to repent, and HE is giving them the time to do that, just as HE did to us.

  2. A party rice 😂
    You know sometimes we might not know what we are saying
    We might probably feel that we are speaking in Faith

HONESTLY, HE SAW IT.

Hello guys!!! I have missed jisting you all about my daily activities. The reason is not far-fetched---- work schedules have been so tasking. You know, we have been given a target to make which means all hands are on deck to make this work. So, if you have anyone who is interested in doing ICT courses, please send my number (07080256903) to them, and I will be glad to attend to them. I am an IT Career Consultant, and I'll do my best to let them know what's best for them as regards the IT world. So to the gist of today, I found myself thinking about an incident that happened some months back. Sit back, relax and read. LOL! I had to see a friend in my neighborhood one cool evening, so I dressed up and got set to leave. Suddenly, I felt the urge to use the loo- I wanted to do the minor( to pee). Normally, I was supposed to go straight to the loo to do the minor in time and get on my way but I felt I could do it right there in the compound. So I took a bold but foolish step...

Checked On Me.

Hello dear friends, it's been a more than three days something, right? Please, pardon me; many chips came down at almost the same time, however, I specifically thank God for the grace He's blessed me with, and the people builders He deliberately placed around me for such a time as this! So, let's  go into the gist of tonight: In the year 2017, I became friends with Tolu Josh(real name) during a youth national convention. We grew into being good friends from the casual level things. He probably would have liked that we went past the platonic stage, but I didn't take too much notice. Some months into our friendship, my phone was stolen and I had to use a makeshift phone. During the time I used the makeshift, Tolu called to check on me having not heard from me for a while. I picked the call, did like I knew it was him and appreciated him. I did that because I'd eventually know the person las las 😂. Afterwards, I went further and saved his name on the makeshift as ...

Thank God I did not do it.

Each day I get up from my bed, I find reasons to give thanks to God for sparing me. The minutes however differs; there are times it's so short, some other times,so long, and at some times it's just there. However, on some special days, I deliberately take a long while at the place of my devotions. I have discovered in times past that the longer time I spend at my devotion, the better day I have. It helps me keep my emotions in check- I can be very emotional. Okay! So to the story of today; I made up my mind to get to work early today, I set my alarm to wake me up gradually(I wake up gradually, lol), I finally left my house at 7:00am. Immediately, I rushed to the bus terminal to pick a bus or a bike;I didn't get to see that in time, favour finally beckoned at me, and I got a tricycle to convey me to where I was heading to-Agbado. I got a bike to transport me to the next stop at a very nice price too. When I got there, the Monday morning rush was so much that the queu...
