OMOTOTOYOSI

OMOTOTOYOSI (  CELEBRATE JESUS)

Omotoyosi is a name which means "A child Worth's joy". What kind of a child could really be worth rejoicing over is what really brought about the title "OMOTOTOYOSI" which means "A child really worth rejoicing over".
Omotoyosi must be a name for a special kind of child because the sight or news of a new born baby is always a thing of joy and happiness.
I have seen babies whose birth have brought revival to a dead home, whose birth have glued a torn apart marriage, whose  birth have put an end to long term rifts between families, whose smile would make any mother forget all the pains of childbirth.
But does all this qualifies such babies to be called Omototoyosi?.
I say yes, they all deserve the name, infact all babies do, and I also know know of a baby who is really worthy of being called Omototoyosi.
He is a baby who brought joy to the heart of his mother right from the day he was born.
He is a baby who brought fortunes to his parent right from birth through the numerous gifts elites of the world came to bestow upon him.
He is a baby every government of this present world dedicates two days for as public holidays just to celebrate his birth.
He is a baby whose birth is the reason for the season.
He is a baby really worth calling Omototoyosi because at the thought of his name, happiness floods everyones heart.
He is called so many names like prince of peace, Immanuel,comforter. Though many babies have come before and after him but he excels above them all because he alone is the Messiah.
He is a baby whose name can never be erased from generations to come.
Jesus is Omototoyosi because he came for us, he died for us, he gave us life through his resurrection, and he alone is our hope for tomorrow.
And because its the season to celebrate this special Omototoyosi, we also take this time out to celebrate all the babies, children, youths and adults who are bearing the name  Omotoyosi and all those who don't  bear the name but have given their families and people around reasons to be joyous and happy because of them.
Celebrate Jesus the real Omototoyosi this festive season accepting him and the essence of his birth into your life today and celebrate all the babies around you.
From Adeyeni's Pen, we celebrate our great model "OMOTOTOYOSI" who is JESUS CHRIST this Christmas and also everyone reading this article around the globe. Merry Christmas.

Will I Am

Do you know strength, Power, might, authority comes from above
Do you know grace mercy favour blessings,success come from above
Do you know sound health, journey mercies, well wishes, Promotion also come from above
Do you know honour, Glory, Fame, wealth, riches, all come from above Then where does WILL comes from... It comes from within you.
The will to survive, struggle, Aim, Achieve, become great, successful must come from within you If you do not have will in you then everything placed in your care from above will only waste away.
If you were given a million dollars project to execute to move your career, If you don't have the will to be successful in your career, you will only squander it.
If you were blessed with a family as a man, If you don't have the will to be a good head, the family will eventually crumble in your presence.
If you are blessed with children, If the will to be a good parent doesn't abide in you, you will only raise problems for the society.
If a Church is placed in your care as a Shepherd, if the will to be a good Shepherd is lost in you, you will only raise wolfs in sheep clothing,
In this age where talents and gifts are being used to glorify Satan, If you don't take your stand now, you will soon find yourself in the same destructive end as those who followed the trend.
Your life has been placed in your hands like talents, If you don't have a will like that of the productive servants, You will surely end up like the unproductive servant.
In a time like this when dishonesty, lies, stealing, injustice, indecency, immorality, backbiting and chaos is the order of the day, if you don't have the will to stand for justice, honesty, truth, decency, morality, peace and love, you will only find yourself being a victim of circumstances.
In a time like this when Christianity is being practiced as one wishes. If you don't have the will to seek for true doctrine, then you are on a rollercoaster ride to hell.
If in a time like this when the end of time is close at hand, you do not have the will to seek out your creator to remember him, you will only end up worse than the prodigal son.
If while in this life you do not have the will to do all it takes to make heaven, then your coming to the world is a waste.
All that you need has to be given to you because No one can receive anything except it be given unto him, and one of the criteria for it to be released unto you is for you to have the Will.
Caleb and Joshua had the Will to be fearless when they saw the giants of Jericho.
Shadrach Meshack and Abednego had the Will to wait upon their God even though they saw the fiery furnace, Even Daniel had the will not to change his prayer time for whatsoever reason even though the lions den awaited such defiance.
The bible say Can anything separate us from Christ’s love? Can trouble or problems or persecution seperate us from his love? If we have no food or clothes or face danger or even death, will that separate us from his love? Romans 8:35 ERV
The only way for all that and more not to separate us from the love and promise of God is for us to have a will to stand for God, The bible says. But in all these troubles we have complete victory through God, who has shown his love for us. Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37‭-‬39 ERV
To have that victory in Christ Jesus, you must have the Will.
So my brethren, you must have the will to stand for God through your work, family, businesses, ministry, gifts, talents, passion, hobbies.
 Have the Will because its all you need to have to enjoy all the benefits from above as mentioned earlier.
Will I AM

TRUE INDEPENDENCE

Its  October 1st and we are celebrating our dear nation independence. Its been a long walk of freedom for our nation for 56years, but has it been that of freedom for our individual lives?.
Have we truly gained independence and become free from the foreign beings who have held us under their rules in times past?
Can we really say we are enjoying the true benefits of independence?
If our present independent lives were to be weighed on scale with our lives before becoming independent, would there be any noticeable change or difference?.
Change and true independence has been preached to us ever since we claim to have won our fight for freedom, but have we really heeded?.
Are the winds of our past colonized life still not controlling how we sail presently in an era when we are expecting to see change?.
We need to check our lives inertly, to see if there has truly been any wind of change in our lifestyle. Experiencing true independence is what we bargained for when we asked to be free, Let's experience it from this new month.
True independence is not in fighting or any form of violence.
True independence is not in rebellious acts.
True independence is not in cheating our fellow brother because we have power.
True independence is not wanting away from home as a youth, just to be free of discipline. True independence is not in doing what we like.
True independence is not in waiting for change from the top.
True independence is not being free with the world.
True independence is not being far from the word.
True independence is doing what we ought to do.
True independence is being truthful.
True independence is effecting the change from our very home.
True independence is living a fulfilled life.
True independence is being free within our homes as youth.
True independence is in showing love and care.
True independence is being free from Sin.
When we are free from sin, we would be free from oppression, affliction, death, evil attacks, bondage.
Sin colonized our life under his regime by handing us over to the foreign beings of our flesh desires, we fought for our freedom the day we ran to Jesus Christ for salvation, but the winds of reconstructed, repackaged, rebranded, and refurbished sin, soon started controlling the direction we sail while we thought we were still in Christ.
Check your lifestyle today and compare it to the time you were not yet born again. What have changed, Nothing, Little or everything?
 You still need to be free once again to be able to experience true independence.
 True independence is in Christ Jesus and in him alone, Don't let the church, doctrine, styles, and tides of this days blow you away anymore.
True independence is experiencing Jesus and walking according to his will which leads to freedom.
True independence is written by Ajayi Adeyeni Gabriel
Happy Independence day, and a new month

When Cell Meets Cell

Cell is a confined place, meant to keep a person temporarily, while his future is being determined.
There are only two types of people who are found in a cell, the Victim or the Perpetrator, before a person can find himself in a cell, he must have first been in a cell which will lead him to the second cell.
What do I mean by Cell meets cell?
It means spiritual cell meets or leads to physical cell. Before a man can find himself in a physical cell, either as a victim or the perpetrator of an act, he has first been locked in a spiritual cell.
Spiritual cell in this context is SIN. A man is locked in a spiritual cell of sin when he begins to allow ungodly thoughts to lock his sense of reasoning which makes him engage in violence or any other criminal act, which in turn leads him to the physical cell, and when a man finds himself in a physical cell, he should know the following. That
Cell is not a place to be sad but a place to reason.
Cell is not a place to regret ones actions but a place to reflect.
Cell is not a place to get angry, its a place to calm down.
 Cell is not a place to seek justification of ones evil act or innocence, but a place to seek for God's mercy and pardon.
When a man gets to physical cell, his eyes will calm down, his sense of reasoning will be back to normal.
He'll realize he could have been a little more patient.
He'll realize he could have reacted differently.
He'll realize he could have followed after righteousness and truth.
 He'll realize his mistakes.
He'll realize the real reason he's locked.
He'll realize how far he had come in life to be in cell for such reasons.
He'll realize that spiritual cell lead him there.
He'll realize that there is God.
When cell meets cell, all you need is God's mercy.
When cell meets cell, all you need is God's favour.
When cell meets cell, all you need is prayer.
When cell meets cell, all you need is Grace.
 When cell meets cell, all you need is to realize that you have allowed yourself to be locked up in a spiritual cell.
When cell meets cell, all you need is to ask God for forgiveness.
When cell meets cell, all you need is Jesus.
When cell meets cell, all your need is Holy spirit.
When cell meets cell, all you need is God's intervention.
When God intervenes in your situation, you as a victim will be vindicated.
When God intervenes in your situation, you as a perpetrator will be pardoned.
When God intervenes in your situation, you will be set free from spiritual cell.
 When you put God first, you will be totally free from both spiritual and physical cell.

Remember that; Cell is not what determines your future, its the reason why you are there that determines your future and though what brought you there might have decided your future, prayer can change it and can make your future better than your past.
Embrace prayer while in cell or when you realize you are being trapped in a spiritual cell.

Have You?

To the Outgoing Students

 At the just concluded examinations, can you really say you have tried your best?
 If your scripts were to be marked right away, will your best be good enough to qualify you as passed?
 At the time the results will be out, can you say it was your best that made you pass?

 To the Students preparing for examination

Can you say you are trying your best to prepare ahead of the exams?
If the examination date was shifted to tomorrow, can you boldly say you are ready to go into the hall?
Can you solely depend on your state of preparation?.

To all the Students

Do you know that everyday you pass through life test?
Do you know that everyday you pass through physical test?
Do you know that everyday you pass through personality test?
Do you know that everyday you pass through Spiritual test?
In all of these tests, have you been scaling through it with a satisfactory remarks from the one who put you through it?
Job and all he had was put through Life, Physical, Personality and spiritual test and he scored excellent, he did not disappoint his creator who put him up for the tests.
We also can begin to make our creator proud starting from this morning The tests are new everyday, but if we put in our very best, we can keep making him proud.
The school exams we have written or about to write is not what can give us the needed satisfactory remarks from our creator even though our conduct through out the exams is one of the things he looks out for.
 The only way to get the best remark from him is through the following ways. Acknowledging God as our creator.
Believing that he sent Jesus to us.
Accepting Jesus into our life.
Forsaking our sins and not going back to them
Seeking Jesus daily and every time.
And Doing his will.
Through all this we can make him proud in all the test we are put through.
As the outgoing students pass out, let them have it mind that the future outside the walls of the school lies in the hands of God and only accessible through Jesus.
To the remaining students, the life we'll still experience within the school walls also lie in the hands of God and also accessible through Jesus.
Accept Jesus today and be rest assured that his best is enough for you.
Have you tried your best?
 Is your best really enough?
Your best can never be enough without Jesus.

Written to all all students in this earth.

Thanks for reading and being touched.

Mother's Love

What can I do,
What can I say, to give back a little out of the great love you have shown to me.
I can never repay you for the sleepless nights you endured because of me, telling you I love you is not just enough for the love you showered on me while I was in the womb.
You loved me like you knew what I'd look like even though you did not yet know my sex.
You yearned to have me even before my conception and prayed for me while developing in the womb.
You stood up for me at all times even though I was not worthy of it.
You loved me even while I was at my worst.
You guided me when I was derailing, you taught me the true meaning of manners.
I could go on and on but I want you to know that your seed of love is alive in i your child.. Your love can never be paid back, its a debt i am going to owe you for life.
You loved me to the point that you were always willing to put your life on the line for me, even if the whole world is against me, I know that you won't despise me.
Your love is second to none in this earth, your love saved me from going wild, your love redeemed and revived me at the points of death.
You are a true mother.
 You are a rare gem.
You are a blessing to this generation.
Today is your birthday, but I want you to also know that everyday is your day because your love diminish not for a second.
The only person who have loved me more than the way you love me is Jesus and am grateful you lead me to him.
He's the only one who can repay you back, I pray he blesses your new age and your future years.
I love you Mum, I adore you.
Maximum respect to you Ma.

Come unto Me

  At the hospital

Woman:  What did the doctor say is wrong with my daughter?.
Husband: He says my wife needs a new heart within 3 days or else she will die and its hard to get a donor for such.
Woman: Haaa *starts sobbing* where will such be seen at this time.
Husband: I don't know ooo, in fact I'm confused. Heart transplant is very hard to come by. Woman: Lord please intervene, I don't want to lose my daughter.
Husband: Mama let's go home, Jesus will intercede.

 At home, woman picks her phones and dials the pastor

Woman: Hello sir
Pastor: Hello ma, Calvary greetings to you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ.
Woman: *in tears*pastor help me, my only daughter is dying, she needs a heart transplant and we don't know what to do.
Pastor: Jesus! *sighs*, madam please be patient and have faith, there is nothing Jesus can't do, he is the greatest physician and the best surgeon. We'll start praying for God to intercede.
Woman: thanks sir.

The Morning of the third day.

Doctor: this is a miracle, I can't believe it, the X-ray is showing no sign of any damage to the heart.. How can it be, is this some sort of magic or what?
Woman: Jesus did it, he stood by his word that my daughter shall live long.
Husband: God is really great.
Wife: yesterday I dreamt that I was being operated and my heart was replaced with a new one by some foreign specialist... And it felt real only for me to wake and realized it was a dream, I feel new and light, I can't believe I can feel this good after almost dying some few weeks ago.
Woman: Hallelujah to Jesus the great surgeon.
Doctor: its really a wonder, I must meet with this your great surgeon as you call him.
Woman: yes, he's here with us right now...
And that's how the doctor came to know Jesus Christ and accepted him

 Jesus is still and will always be in the business of healing people.
"Come unto me, all ye that are laden" he said.
The God that did that can also cure you of any illness, only if you will just come unto him. Come to him today to experience his healing power..
He won't just cure your sickness, but also your life, family, business, career, marriage, finances and even your future.
Jesus is calling you today saying; Come unto me

Olakiitan

You say your name is Olakiitan... Meaning "wealth never ends", Who told you so, that Olakiitan "wealth never ends"? I have seen and heard of so many wealthy people who have at the latter end of their life come down to the poorest state of abject poverty. I have seen the high and mighty come down to nothing and only remember their glory days in tears. But like your name still implies "Olakiitan", Hmmmm, I still know of one type of wealth that never ends. Yes i do know, Its the wealth of having just one asset that gives all other things, its the wealth of having Jesus as ones personal lord and Savior. He's the greatest asset that one can possess and because wealth is determined by the number of assets a man possess, the moment one have Jesus, one has it all.. In him alone lies all what one can ever think of.... He's the asset which we should seek to acquire because when we have him and can show him forth, then our life would be fruitful, we would be recognized as wealthy people. Assets are things that gives us assurance of a secured future, so when we acquire Jesus, we are having an assurance of not just a secured future only but also of eternity. I say Wealth is not defined by the number of worldly properties one have, it is defined by the number of soul we win for Jesus And we can't win soul for Jesus if we ourself don't first possess him.. So we must seek to possess him. And for those who think they already possess him. Are you wealthy enough to showcase Jesus as your one and only asset? Are you proud to show him as your most prized asset? For your present wealth not to end like the name Olakiitan implies.. You need to possess Jesus.. The real people who bear Olakiitan are those who have Jesus... So Receive Jesus today my dear reader. This article is dedicated to a very great sister in the lord... Maximum respect ma Miss Rasaq Olakitan aka Kitanchrist This article was written by Ajayi Adeyeni Gabriel for Adeyeni pens Thanks for taking time out to read this post and other interesting articles on this platform Don't forget to comment and click on share To get interesting personal dedicated articles like this one, contact me by reading my welcome address to get my contact details.

September (Completion)

First signifies a new beginning, Second signifies double portion, Seven signifies perfection, Nine signifies completion. We are in the month of completion And God is willing to complete all the promises he made to us in this month, but are we also working towards the task he gave to us? Men have given so many names to the months of the year like Febuhari, April fool, And now Ember months, Ember they say brings a lot of things into the life of people, and people pray for the good it brings but do we also give our best to the task God gaves us? A popular hymn says "have we been true to the trust he left us? Do we seek to do our best?" My great family of readers, even though Ember months has kicked off let us remember to also kick start the task the almighty God has given to us. And to everyman, each is given to his capability.. Let's not disappoint God by failing him in this month of completion. If a woman is pregnant, the Ninth month signifies full term. Even students in school uses just Nine months out of twelve to complete an academic year Even the month September has Nine alphabets in it to make it a complete word. Let's seek to complete the task we are given this month. What are the tasks? Our tasks differs from each other , but all work towards one goal which is to expand the kingdom of God. Tasks like preaching, evangelizing, singing, praying, exhorting, teaching, interpreting, being a role model through our lifestyle has been placed in our care, let's seek to see that we that we complete in all honesty and truthfulness so that the good which God has also started in our lives too will be completed this month... Our tasks is to reach and touch lives through our very own lifestyle.. Let's not leave any stone unturned... God bless us all Happy new month to you from Adeyeni's pen Don't forget to share this to your contact , its also one of the task of reaching lives Thanks for reading

Triumphing or Failing Under Test or Pressure

What does it mean to fail under or pressure It means to drop the race baton, It means to tremble before Satan, It means to be a disappointment to God. Its means to declare oneself unfit to partake in the glory to come. It means to fail God before Satan. God does not tempt man but he allows him to be tested to know if he would be worth the glory he is to bestow upon him.. And the test is what puts us under pressure but its a pity that majority of the people fails God test.. Saul was one of such... He's patience was just tested for seven days for the first time and he could not endure which made him fail. Samuel said he would meet Saul at Gilgal. Saul waited there seven days. But Samuel had not yet come to Gilgal, and the soldiers began to leave Saul. So Saul said, “Bring me the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings.” Then Saul offered the burnt offering. As soon as Saul finished offering that sacrifice, Samuel arrived. Saul went out to meet him. 1 Samuel 13:8‭-‬10 ERV Whereas job was tested over a long period of time and he came out victorious. Vashti lost her position on the Seventh day of the feast of the king because she could not endure the test of being beheld by people whereas the widow of zarepath passed even though it seemed to be her last meal. Who are the people that God allows to be tested? Its his children, his beloved servants, the ones who are faithful and obedient, the ones who a greater glory awaits, those who shun evil and wickedness The bible says Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him. He is a good, faithful man. He respects God and refuses to do evil.” Job 1:8 ERV And while saul failed under pressure, Job did not fail God because he knew the greatest principle which was God gives and he takes it back The bible affirmed this saying "and said, “When I was born into this world, I was naked and had nothing. When I die and leave this world, I will be naked and have nothing. The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. Praise the name of the Lord!” Job 1:21 ERV, So many of us fail life test because we fail to make use of that principle because the moment we put the principle to use which says God gives and he is the one who takes it back we will triumph before the pressure or test we are passing through. Here are some examples of people who triumphed before test or pessure. Abraham passed- Genesis 22:1‭-‬12, Samuel passed- 1 Samuel 12:1‭-‬5, The widow of zarephat passed 1 Kings 17:10‭-‬16, Job passed Job 1:20‭-‬22, 42:10-17, Jesus passed Matthew 26:39‭, ‬42, In what areas have we been tested? Is it through out personality, needs or wants? Did we pass or fail?. here are also examples of people who failed under test or pressure. Vashti failed Esther 1:10‭-‬11‭, ‬15‭-‬19, Saul failed 1 Samuel 13:1‭-‬15, 14:24-46, 15:17-21, Eli failed 1 Samuel 3:11‭-‬18, Samuel's sons failed 1 Samuel 8:3, Most people fail because they look at the present and hold on to it but forget that there is one person who can make this present and future time they are expectig become past time in a matter of seconds. Most people hold onto and cherish what is called vanity., For God to be able to attest for us We have to hold nothing dear to our hearts lest we fail when it is taken from us, What happens when we fail under test/pressure? We lose our position before God in Christ Jesus to satan, We lose out in the greater glory to come, We become a shame to the body of Christ, If Abraham had failed when God requested for his only son, the promise of God for his life may not have come to pass. If job had failed when he lost everything, he would have died in that affliction. If the widow of zarepath had failed, she would have died of hunger in no time, If Jesus had refused to let the will of God be done at Gethsemane, he may not have been glorified. In what areas has the lord given you up to be tested but you failed him. think of those times you have been shy to proclaim Christ, those times you could not let go of those things that seems like heaven and earth to you. Those times when personality test of people made you fail God just like how they made Saul and vashti failed him. The end is always greater than the beginning for those who triumph before the test God puts them up for. Will you still keep failing God?, Will you keep allowing the devil your adversary triumph over you?, That your marriage crisis may be your test, how will you handle it?, Those your worldly friends that are luring you may be your own pressure to endure, will you fail? Check yourself and you will realize those time you failed woefully, Ask God for forgiveness because you have disappointed him. The bible says Then Samuel received this message from the Lord: “Saul has stopped following me, so I am sorry that I made him king. He is not doing what I tell him.” Samuel became angry and cried to the Lord all night. 1 Samuel 15:10‭-‬11 ERV. God is sorry he placed most of us in a particular position/office which he thought we will use well. Your marriage, work, friends, church, ministry, life, family, needs, wants, personality are position/offices which God believes you can handle well but you failed him. Ask him to forgive you and give you a second chance. May God forgive us and give us the chance to make him proud like Job and Jesus did in Jesus name amen. Thanks for reading this article, I pray that God gives us the insight to uncover the needed message he has for us in this article.. To his name be all the glory, honour and adoration..

Meeting The Real August Visitors

Its a new day and a new week again and we'll still be talking about the Real August visitors, As earlier mentioned in the first article. "They are special people which their identity will remain encoded to some people because its not everyone who can sense their identity or presence". And "until we understand that though they may come, knock, call out to us to allow them in, Unless we welcome them in, they won't come in unwelcome". In this episode, i want us to know that its not every time that they will come knocking on our door like Elijah did with the widow of Zarephath in 1kings 17 vs 8-9, because he was her Real August visitor. To meet some of them, we have to go out of our way to meet, intercept, call and even beg them to come to our house because their mission may not be to our doorsteps yet but our blessings, Happiness, Joy, freedom, Redemption, Greatness, Success, Promotion, Marital bliss, Peace, Favour and Splendor that we will begin to reap bountifully from lies with them in the package they are conveying. But how do we know when they are going to come or where they are going and their route of journey? The bible says. "Later, the Lord again appeared to Abraham near the oak trees of Mamre. It was the hottest part of the day, and Abraham was sitting at the door of his tent. He looked up and saw three men standing in front of him. When he saw the men, he ran to them and bowed before them". Genesis 18:1‭-‬2 ERV http://bible.com/406/gen.18.1-2.ERV . The bible also says. "That evening the two angels came to the city of Sodom. Lot was sitting near the city gates and saw them. He got up and went to them. He bowed to show respect" Genesis 19:1‭ ERV http://bible.com/406/gen.19.1-2.ERV In the first text we can see Abraham sitting at the doors to his tenth and not inside his tenth even though it was a very hot afternoon, he did not decide to stay in the comfort of his tenth. And we can also see Lot in the second text also sitting very close to the city gate and not sitting within the city even though the city was filled with what some people call enjoyment unknown to them that is vanity and ruins. In this two text, God is telling us that the only way we can be able to meet with our August visitor is to leave our comfort zone, our past sinful life, nature, habits, tradition, beliefs, customs, to leave them behind and move outside to the fore front, outside our tenth even at that time when the sun is hot, to leave that life of Sin in our city today to go far away and stay close to the city gate where immorality abideth not. Abraham had been meeting with God many times and even on that day, but he still had to leave the comfort of his tenth to stay outside to meet his august Visitors so that they won't pass him by. Lot too had to leave the life of sin his town was known and associated with so as to be distinguished by the August visitors because had he been within the city when they came, he may have been entangled in one form of sin or another before they arrived and would not have had any form of justification before them. My beloved readers, even if we are sensitive enough to the presence and identity of the Real August visitors, if we are not at the right place, we may still miss their visit, where we ought to be matters a lot. Where is this right place that we ought to be? It is the place of prayer, Praise, worship, a place where we take our stand for Christ, a place where we make the difference clearly known between we and sinners, a place where we disseminate the word of God to them which are in dire need of it, our duty post where we diligently keep watch for the second coming of Christ, a place where we refuel our lamps before the bridegroom arrives. This place must not necessarily be a four walled place called church, its in our home, office, market square, schools, campus, hostel, streets, towns, peer groups etc. Let's take a stand today at the right place where we can be able to see and recognize our Real August visitors. I pray God gives us the insight to decode the encoded message he wants for us in this article.. Have a blessed week and remember that this august won't go by without we receiving a visit from The Real August Visitors. Don't forget to shàre with your family, friends and colleagues at work. Thanks for taking time out to read this article.

The Real August Visitors

Its a new day, a new week and also a new month. Is it coincidental? I asked myself.. Then I realized that its August and tis a special month in the year because of the term August visitors. Then I wondered who the august visitors are, where they emerged from and why name them august visitors? I can't really answer all of them myself but I know I also need an August visitor to pay me a visit because they may not be around when you shall be rejoicing but they are the cause of your celebration. They may not be around when you will start flourishing but they are the reason why you will be glowing. They may not be around when your time for harvest comes but they were the ones who planted the blessings, Happiness, Joy, freedom, Redemption, Greatness, Success, Promotion, Marital bliss, Peace, Favour and Splendor that you will begin to reap bountifully from because they are the real August visitors. Mere men can never be an August visitor but only angels in human form. They are beyond human imagination.. They were the ones who made their way into the house of Abraham and his marriage became a home. They paid Lot a visit and became his saving grace from destruction. Just one August visitor made his way into the fire with Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego and fire became breeze to them and did not hurt them. These are the kind of visitors we need in this new month and at a particular time like this in our country. They are special people which their identity will remain encoded to some people because its not everyone who can sense their identity or presence but it is only the sensitive people who can decode their identity and sense their presence. Abraham was sensitive enough to know that they were not mere men that's why he begged them not to pass by his house without stopping for a while to relax.. Lot was sensitive to their identity that's why he never looked back as was their instruction. The three Jewish men were sensitive enough to sense his presence with them that's why they stood their ground not to bow down to a smaller god. So for this month, its not just about praying endlessly for a visit from these angels in human form but also to pray to be sensitive to their identity and presence around us... Some peoples august visitor has been around them for a long while but due to their insensitivity,they have not welcomed them into their life, home, marriage, business, work, studies, plans, project and other aspects of their life, until we understand that though they may come, knock, call out to us to allow them in, Unless we welcome them in, they won't come in unwelcome. So for this new month. I pray that our August visitors shall pay us a visit and that the sensitivity to know their identity and to sense their presence around us that God shall grant it unto us in Jesus name. Don't forget to also pray it fervently not only for yourself but also for your loved ones because you may be their Real August Visitor.

Virtuous People

First of all I want to give thanks to Almighty God who gave us all virtues because to be honest we have all got one good thing that distinguishes us which is character. Secondly to our parents who are our life teachers... I love you all Shout out to Miss Famodimu Temilade who this write up is dedicated to on her birthday today 28 July 2016 And to all my loving readers... Maximum respect and appreciation. Virtue can be said to be the general quality of being morally good either in behavior or character... To be a called a virtuous person means one has been known for living according to high moral standards both in character and attitude. Having good virtues itself is a nature which we have to embrace and be associated with. When we make good virtues our ensign, we will be known for integrity, authority, honesty, obedience, fidelity amongst others.. Let's take a good look at great people who were virtuous. Jesus while on earth was a man of Impeccable character. Abraham was an icon of obedience. Joseph was an icon of honesty. Samuel was an icon of integrity. Elijah was an Icon of Authority. Solomon was a prudent king when it came to judgements. Job was an Icon of fortitude. David was known for bravery. Caleb was an icon of confidence. Sarah was a model for submission. Esther was a model for Chastity. Ruth was an icon of forbearance. But do we still have people with all this virtues... Yes I believe so. For someone to have all this virtues means that one has the ability to withstand opposition, to make wise decisions in difficult situations and to claim what is rightfully ones even when everything around one is in disagreement. And the only way to have all this is to be Godly, and the only way to be Godly is to seek for God all the time through fellowship with him and brethren. To be a virtuous person is not easy but when we hold on to Jesus he will help us.. The bible says those who wait upon the lord shall have their strength renewed.. Human understanding cannot give one that which it takes to be called Virtuous.... So to be able to withstand trials, challenges and oppositions of virtue, we need strength and that strength can only come from God... So seek out your creator and get the needed strength so that you also can be a person of virtue... This post is dedicated to Miss famodimu Temilade on her birthday today 28 jul 2016. Thanks for taking time out to read this write up... I hope you were enlightened by it ... May God open our knowledge of understanding to see the in depth of the message... Thank you.

Transporters

Dedicated to all Transporters Since my arrival to this region... I have seen a lot of drivers... And I believe its high time I talk about them.. You would agree with me that some drivers could be fun to ride with, while some could be hell annoying to journey with, while some are good at minding their business... Some are hell good at poke nosing at other driver's issue while still on motion, and as we know that all drivers need a conductor be it a commercial transport or interstate transport,taxi or BRT, even train and plane because they all need someone to sell tickets for them before departure... Some drivers will quarrel with their conductor all along the journey while some will flow along with theirs... And while some conductors are the reserved type that seek for ways to foster peace, some are fire igniters with their comment and response... But all along we the passengers are always amused with the jolly ride also at one point in time relishing the long ride, and one thing common to all these rides is that they are all ones we won't forget in a hurry.. Who are the drivers and who are the conductors/ ticketers I really want to talk about here? Yoruba call them Ólókó or Awako, Igbo call them ọkwọ ụgbọala, Hausa call them direba or direbobi, Because it is believed they are the drivers of this present generations and some have already started driving the next generation currently... They are our parents Drivers are our fathers while the conductors are our mothers. Without them we would not have been at our present port... All we are today and all we'll be tomorrow, we owe to them.. Some even call them our smaller Gods and I agree with that too... Like some transporters... They find it hard to get passengers...but at the end of the day..they still get to return the vehicle to the owner who is God... So to the drivers who have no passengers yet and for those of us who has been riding in a vehicle with both the driver and conductor present making our ride jolly, or those who have only a Driver/Conductor, or none and its our fellow passenger that took to the wheel for us... We have to always celebrate the people behind the wheels and at the door on each of their special days... Its not easy being a driver...you only get to know that when you get behind the wheel.. And all in all let's remember to tell our drivers to always allow Jesus take the wheel all the time...and to keep praying for them lest they fail in handling the wheel because they must surely give returns over us. This is a message to celebrate the drivers of this present generation and the coming one... Shout out to my lovely Dad in person of Pastor D.K Ajayi of BCEM ministry Lagos. On your birthday today 23 Jul 2016. And to all the fathers and mothers of my of lovely followers and visitors of my blog... like I said in my welcome article..it not just about Me nor You but about US... Let's always celebrate our parents.

Call to remember

A Call to remember your creator Do you know a time cometh when you won't be able to run things like you do now Do you know a time cometh when all you would be good at is sleeping Do you know a time cometh when you won't be carry your weight around Do you know a time cometh when you won't be able to eat what you like Do you know a time cometh when you wud be too feeble to stand cold Do you know a time cometh when you wud prefer sun drying Do you know a time cometh when you wud be happy if you lived your youthful days well Do you know a time cometh when your money wud not be able to buy you good health Do you know a time cometh when your beauty will fade away like the stars Do you know a time cometh when your pretty face will wrinkle Do you know a time cometh when your abs and 6-packs will fall off Do you know a time cometh when your clothes will be too big for you Do you know a time cometh when your trumpet shall sound Do you know a time cometh when it will be called the evil day When that day comes what will be your defence or assurance Ecclesiastes 12:1 ERV says Remember your Creator while you are young, before the bad times come—before the years come when you say, “I have wasted my life.” The best time to remember your creator is now Now that you are still young Now that you are still agile Now that you are still single Now that you are still married Now that you are still learning Now that you are still a fresh graduate Now that you are still seeking for a job Now that you are gainfully employed Now that you are still agile Now that you are still pretty Now that you are still sharp Now that you are still pregnant Now that you still nursing a baby Now that you are still a single parent Now that you are still a widower Tomorrow never ends but your tomorrow may not come Now is not tomorrow Now is what you have at hand Hold it steadfastly Your creator beckons on you like the prodigal son's father to come home The bible says “The son realized that he had been very foolish. He thought, ‘All my father’s hired workers have plenty of food. But here I am, almost dead because I have nothing to eat. I will leave and go to my father. I will say to him: Father, I have sinned against God and have done wrong to you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. But let me be like one of your hired workers.’ So he left and went to his father. “While the son was still a long way off, his father saw him coming and felt sorry for him. So he ran to him and hugged and kissed him. Luke 15:17-20 ERV Don't turn a deaf hear...you might regret it later A call to remember your creator By Ajayi Adeyeni Gabriel

Our Crown

Our Crown What I own is called Temi What you own is called Tire What we own is called Tiwa Ade is called Crown People bearing Akin, Ola, Omo, Olu can never become kings, they can only try or contest for it Its people who bears Ade that becomes Kings and princes I am Adeyeni... It means one is worth a Crown If You are Temilade.. It means you own the Crown Did I just hear you claiming the Crown.. Well you are also entitled to it and so is everyone whose name doesn't start with Ade What crown am I actually talking about here or rather What Crown should we try to claim Its a Crown that is never too big or small for one Its a Crown that's a mark of our work here on earth Its a Crown which shows us approved Its a Crown that shows we truly followed after Holiness Its one that truly fit the owner Its the Heavenly Crown Its the one that shows that we fulfilled our creator purpose Are you working for it Cus you don't earn it by chance, You dont earn it by Strength, You don't earn it by Power, You don't earn it by self Justification You don't earn it by Mere works But by Grace The bible says what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul Your mere work on earth cant guarantee you that crown You need to keep pressing towards earning it because its the ultimate reward Its a Crown of Gold Made out of Purity Made out of Chastiness Made out of Holiness It doesn't come free but at a price and that price has been paid for by one man named Jesus So seek to follow and obey that man to be able to earn the ultimate prize ever which is the Crown Written by Ajayi Adeyeni Gabriel

Nature's Love (Contentment).

Nature's Love (Contentment) I was onced asked what the word Love meant I said Love is everything, it's everywhere...it's Nature. I was asked to be more specific, I replied this: When I look up to the sky, I see a shield that protects us from aliens above like we watch in movies... that's protective love. When it rains, I see the fields/vegetations go green... that's Providence love. The sunshine that dries up my wet clothes and saves me the embarrassment of going out wet... that's backup love. At night, I can walk through the bush and footpaths outside without lamp/torch because the moon is up... that's impromptu love. I am thirsty, I go to the stream to fetch some water and it denied me not... that's Providence love. I am feeling hot, suddenly I started feeling cool and calm because the wind blew... that's Love felt. I needed a lonely/quiet place to think, I saw a shade given by a tree, without permission, I settled under it, it did not fall on me... that's longsuffering love. The same tree produces the books I use in studying, the tissue papers I use at restrooms, it was still patient... that's matured love. I almost woke up late for the interview, then I heard the cock crow, begging me not to wake up late... that's back up love. I wanted to prepare a meal, I needed to select between beef, pork, chicken, turkey gizzard, fish, skins; i went to the market and found it all waiting for me because the livestocks offered themselves... that's submissive love. I can go on and on to tell you of Nature's Love which we enjoy everyday, but I know by now you already know what i mean... Embrace the love nature offers and you will learn one thing... Contentment. Contentment is every thing we should seek for in every aspect of life. Be it Material things, Relationship, Career, Religion... All we need has been given to us by our Creator, all we need to do is just ask of him and be contented with what is made available unto us, we should be contented with the task given to us, we should be contented with the family placed in our care, we should be contented with our ministry. Learn to live a life of Contentment Strive to live a life of Contentment Aim to live a life of contentment Work towards living a life of contentment Embrace a life of contentment God bless you as you do so Nature's love (Contentment) Written by Ajayi Adeyeni Gabriel
