So yesterday, I was thinking and this popped into my head "Is God real?" Surprising, right? But you know what made me happy, I didn't need anyone to tell me that He is indeed real, for I KNOW HE IS REAL. Like, I wasn't cajoled or convinced with words to be sure of His existence, I JUST KNOW. Why? Because I have EXPERIENCED HIM MYSELF. There is an emphasis on the "myself" because the experience is a personal one. It is a decision that no one can make for you, you just have to decide YOURSELF. Now, most people believe that God exists because they were born into Christian homes and because their parents explained his existence to them. However, there is the place of EXPERIENCING God rather than just  HEARING ABOUT him, yeah there is a difference. And the difference between mere hearing about God and getting genuine salvation is from experiencing Christ. What does it mean to experience Christ? It means to have an evidence of salvation , it means to have ...

I went through Instagram days ago, and was overwhelmed by some of the things i found. Before I joined Instagram, which was recently, I just thought it was a place where people posted pictures and had numerous followers, finish (lol). I never knew God was also taking Instagram for his Glory. I saw forums like Mine Teenage Ministry, Ladies With Radiance, Voice Of Worth and I was awed at the reality that there still exists people in this generation who are standing for God. I started going through many things: I checked @travisgreenetv and his wife's page and the words of knowledge and insight I got there were things I knew were too deep for... I kept going through social media and then I got chatting with Debbie on WhatsApp and we spoke about sexual purity. She shared somethings with me  and that reminded me of an experience I had weeks ago. I was reading Francine Rivers' "Atonement Child" and i was really touched in fact, i almost cried. Then it got to a point in th...

Somebody said something in church yesterday that reminded me of Mr. Cain. You know him now, that man that offered bad fruits to God and was rejected, whereas, his brother offered good offering and was accepted. That is the story we all know, right? Well, let me give you a shock; Cain did not offer bad offerings to God and neither did his brother (Abel) bring something better than he did. If you examine that passage of the Bible well, it was not stated the sort of fruit or better still, farm produce he brought or the state of the produce. All that was stated was that he brought of his farm produce. Genesis 4:3  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. So, what then made his offering rejected and his brother's accepted? Someone said it was because Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock while Cain did not bring the first produce of his farm. Hmmm, convincing, right? Well, I don't think so, because, I k...

Hello, God Cravers, Let's act the Word!!! I wrote an essay and then told my friend to evaluate what I had written; so, he pointed out that I made use of many simple words. He said I could make use of some technical words to spice it up and thus, I decided to improve my vocabulary some more. I planned to learn new words everyday through my phone dictionary and this was how it went: I would open the dictionary, check out the random section for any word, read its meaning, and that ends it. However, whenever I did that, i easily forgot what i learnt. I mean, let say I was asked what word I learnt in the next 8 hours, I would not remember. So, some weeks ago, I visited TMO's blog, read some articles and from there, I learnt some new words. Now, from the context of USAGE of these words and my own research on their meanings, I am able to comfortably remember them and even use them. Why? What made the difference? I saw those words being USED in context, I did not just read them i...

I have been troubled lately and finding peace. This is it, I have really being distracted by different things that I felt drawn from God, but I guess I was being taken through a process. This poem talks about my experience in the last few days, see how i found peace. When distractions start coming from all angles, It feels so draining and exhausting. When relief refuses to come, It seems to give rain to the struggle. When prayer becomes a difficult feat to accomplish And fellowshipping so boring an activity, Then we need grace to follow through When temptations billows and blows you And you feel emotions like a roller coaster Fear, anxiety, worry, care And peace seems as far As the east is from the west Whereas, torment seems close as your shadow Craving love from folks Seeking satisfaction from accomplishments Finding none for my soul Troubled and uneasy I clearly heard God say "I am your peace" The voice was reassuring I didn't feel like I needed an...

I know you are being broken to pieces, but I do know that God breaks a man into pieces to make him great. There are certain experiences we go through in life and we begin to wonder where God was when we passed through them. We ask questions like, "God, why is my life getting thrashed? Why did I have to go through that pain? Why did I have to fail that exam? Why did I lose that admission? Why did you allow that rape? Why did I have to lose my job? Why are my grades falling? All whys and whys. During my devotion days ago, I read about David's encounter with Saul before going out against Goliath and the Holy Spirit dropped this in my spirit. When David was to fight, Saul was afraid and warned him because he (saul) thought David was too young to go against Goliath. But then, David said "I have enough experience, God has trained me enough to face Goliath, I have passed through the furnace and I am out better and stronger". He said that; 1 Samuel 17:33-37 33. And Saul s...
