One Father.. One Fold

I strongly believe that the last post was a blessing to you. Well, I also partake from these blessings every day of my life. As you relax your mind, I would love to share this wonderful piece with you.. oh ! I just so love it. Every line echoes deep within our hearts, making us see clearer with the eyes of love. Just read this story.
Kola and Bayo were sons of a great man who had a lot of possession; he was a man of affluence.  Whenever they converged as a family, one can easily tell that love was evident in their family due to the way they shared their times and lives together. These brothers grew together in the house with nothing to lack, they grew to love each other and do things together. People around the neighborhood knew that making trouble with Bayo was the same as inviting the wrath of Kola. They were envied by all. This pleased the father because it’s the joy of every parent to see his children grow in love and peace.
One fateful morning, EL (the father of the two brothers) called together his children, and told them that he would be travelling, though the journey will not last long. He shared his cattle into two groups and asked each to take care of his own until his arrival. Several months later, Kola could no longer cross paths with his beloved brother because they were really fighting each other as to who will come out with the fattest of cattle. Both of them did unimaginable things to themselves which even led to the death of some cattle kept under their charge… I know you all would be wondering what is wrong with these two. Hmm..! Pause!
Christians, why do we fight one another? Have we forgotten that we have one father and we are of one fold? We castigate each other, reject each other, tell lies about each other even in the media just because we feel that denomination A does not dress, talk or preach like

denomination B.  what are we fighting for? 

 Are we quick to forget that we were baptized

  into one baptism. We are joined with God 

 and as such we are one spirit. The father’s 

 precious investments are perishing yet we 

 are too blind to see.

God loves variety. If not, He would not have created several ethnic groups, tribes, denomination and races. I thought by now we Christians would have come to understand that no one single denomination can carry the full ministry of Christ. He knows the reason he gave us different gifts and measure of grace. The head cannot do without the eye. Today, you see a pastor go on paper publicly to lie and criticize his brothers ministry, claiming that God gave him a vision of a fellow pastor in hell. Wao! The most righteous, why not clap for yourself…. ARE WE STILL BRETHREN? We all cannot do the same thing, and we all cannot do everything complete as separate bodies, but we can turn the world around if we recognize each other’s calling and put our heads together. We can make a name for our God and cause dynamic change on earth if we embrace unity.

Am sure you are waiting to hear the conclusion of the story. Wondering what would become of Kola and Bayo when their father arrives? Well, while I write am also eagerly waiting to for the arrival of EL. I wonder what his judgment would be when he comes. Think on this while we wait…… EL IS GOD.

Stay blessed.

Hold On...

Our experiences in life changes just like the weather conditions. At different times we are faced with either pleasurable or harrowing conditions. Sometimes we experience heat-warming success, at other times we experience heart-rending  failures. Sometimes there is much joy and laughter, at other times there is much sorrow and sighing. Sometimes we bubble with life and health, other times we are over taken by sickness. Sometimes we enjoy prosperity with plenty, other times we endure lack and hunger. A lot of persons change with their changing circumstances. When the going gets good, they are elated and highly spirited, but when they get hit by an ugly circumstance, everything goes down completely. They lose the glee and gladness they once had when everything was favorable to them.  Most Christians do same. They love and obey God, go to church and do all manner of religious activities when things are all rosy, when there are no challenges, and turn against Him when thin...

LETTER TO MY TEENAGE BOY AND GIRL 2

My dear, I believe that you enjoyed the last letter I wrote to you and you have also seen how important that letter is to your future. Well, just like I told you the last time I wrote to you, I am here to complete what I started. Among many other things, I would love to remind you that you should not be confused when you see your opposite sex, behaving in differently in a relationship. Lack of understanding of the difference between a girl and a boy, makes a lot of your friends endanger their lives.  You should be able to know what the guy wants from you and you the guy should know what the girl wants from you. God created you all differently and reasons for doing this is best known to him. But I believe that God love variety and as such decided to create us all differently instead of a robot. Lifestyle is another practical reason why a lot of your friends fall in love today and fall out tomorrow. Please I would love you to learn early that you can do things that will a...

YOU ARE NOT A JUNK

Myles Munroe my favorite author once shared a wonderful thought in one of his work that holds a great deal of life lesson. He said, “A sculptor works in a very interesting way, and it would be great foolishness to argue with an artist until he is finished. He said; don’t discuss anything with a painter or a sculptor until his work is completed. An artist can be very rude if you disturb him before he has accomplished what he intends to do, because he sees differently that those who are not artists. An artist can walk by the stone in your front yard and see a figure in it. He may stop by your house and beg you for a stone you have walked past many times without noticing. The dogs may have been doing stuff on it. You may even have been planning to get rid of it because it’s a nuisance. But the artist walks into your yard and sees something beautiful in that stone beyond what you can imagine. Two months later when the artist invites you to his workshop he says, “do you see that? D...
