Peace that defies human logic

Wed, 3 Dec 2025

‘The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and…minds in Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 4:7

No matter what problems you’re grappling with, it’s good to know that the peace of God ‘which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and…minds in Christ Jesus.’

Author Lorie Newman said: ‘For me, that peace came when my husband lost his job… We were a one-income family with seven children, a mortgage, [and] bills. Would we lose our house? How could we feed our large family? These questions fogged my mind like suffocating smoke. But, in the midst of it, God tenderly spoke life into my worried heart… Unemployment remained. In fact, it remained for nearly two years. But day-by-day, step-by-step, the truth of God’s Word began to eclipse the despair and I had incredible peace! God’s Word came alive as never before as I navigated the turbulent waters of that rough season of life. I had read that God was my provider, but I began to know and experience him as my provider! What should have been a time of horrific stress…became a place of peace.’ When problems arise, our natural inclination is to panic. When we do that, we open the door for the Enemy to come in, get us off track, and make us feel victimised. Take these words of Jesus to heart: ‘My [own] peace I now give…you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed…do not permit yourselves to be fearful and…unsettled.]’ (John 14:27 AMPC).

A girl that both men were supposed to be protecting,.....because of their infidelity, they end up killing her.

What a shame 😞

Terrorist and not bandits please 🥺

Your emotions matter to God (2)

Tue, 2 Dec 2025

‘Let all bitterness, wrath, anger…be put away from you.’ Ephesians 4:31

Like Jesus, we have been created in the image of a God who expresses emotions. Neither the Father nor the Son was afraid or embarrassed to feel deeply, and we shouldn’t be either.

In Scripture, God’s heart broke for His wayward children (see Hosea 11:8-9). Jesus wept openly at the grave of His dear friend Lazarus (see John 11:35). He expressed righteous anger over moneylenders defrauding worshipers in the temple (see Luke 19:45-46). And when it comes to our own feelings, we are neither powerless pawns nor fearful fugitives. God wants us to own them, understand their message, and seek His counsel in engaging them for His glory and the benefit of others. The psalmist often voiced his emotions before God. In Psalm 22:1, he cried out, ‘My God…why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help?’ (NLT). Think how he must have felt to say those words: intense fear, panic, confusion, disappointment, and betrayal. But note what he did with his emotions. He took them to God, addressed Him personally, and called on His help: ‘Do not stay so far from me, for trouble is near, and no one else can help me’ (v. 11 NLT). David’s approach was bold, and he found the help he needed: ‘For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help’ (v. 24 NLT). When you bring your feelings to God, you will find that ‘all who seek the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy’ (v. 26 NLT).

Your emotions matter to God (1)

Mon, 1 Dec 2025

‘For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathise with our weaknesses.’ Hebrews 4:15

Emotions—we all have them. Some we enjoy, some we endure. The question is, what does God say about how we should handle them?

‘Count it all joy when you fall into various trials’ (James 1:2 NKJV). ‘Let all bitterness, wrath, anger…be put away from you, with all malice’ (Ephesians 4:31 NKJV). ‘Be…full of sympathy toward each other’ (1 Peter 3:8 TLB). God has appointed designated seasons for us to weep, laugh, mourn, love—and even hate (See Ecclesiastes 3:1-. Does He demand that we instantly and completely control all our emotions? No. Instead, He makes Himself available to transform our hearts and character, so we can manage our emotions in ways that exalt Him. Rather than providing a manual on emotional self-management, He comforts, encourages, convicts, and reorients us by patiently inviting us to do this: ‘Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you’ (1 Peter 5:7 TLB). Even painful feelings can provide opportunities to develop a deeper relationship with our heavenly Father. It also helps to remember that we’re created in the image of an emotional God, and His Word indicates that He sees our feelings as fundamentally good. Even anger, an emotion commonly deemed pejorative, can glorify Him when we handle it in unselfish ways. It’s not about what we feel, it’s how we handle those feelings. And God can give us the grace to turn any emotion into an attribute that glorifies Him.

Happy New Month of December. As we come into the last month of the year 2025. May we see the end and cross over into the new year 2026 in the mighty name of Jesus 🙏.

Prefer the N1m to the food stuff jare. Where are all other things? Nkan Inu eran, cat fish nko? I no see goat meat self 🤷. All I see is cartoon of indomie & water melon. Abeg, give me the N1m now.

Don’t speak too quickly

Sun, 30 Nov 2025

‘Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.’ Proverbs 29:20

When you speak too quickly, you can send the wrong signal and get results you don’t want. This is particularly so when you’re negotiating for the best deal. Speaking impulsively, and overtalking, are not signs of strength but of weakness and insecurity.

Here is a story that illustrates the point: A young computer salesman named Kurt was delighted when one of his business clients expressed interest in buying a used computer system—one that Kurt had installed two years ago but that had recently been replaced with an upgrade. After careful consultation with his head office, Kurt fixed a price of $800,000.00 for the used system and documented in writing all his reasons for requesting that amount.

As he sat down to negotiate, he heard an inner voice saying, ‘Wait. Let them do the initial talking.’ The buyers quickly filled the silence with a long rundown of their own research about this particular computer system’s strengths and weaknesses, the age of the equipment, and the need for new software.

‘Can you throw upgraded software into the deal?’ one of the buyers asked. ‘Sure,’ Kurt offered. The buyers then said, ‘We will give you $950,000.00 for the system, but not a penny more.’ Less than an hour later, the paperwork was signed, and Kurt walked away with a much better deal than he ever imagined, having said little more than thank-you.

The apostle James writes, ‘My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak’ (James 1:19 NIV).

I see labour party as the ruling party for the future. This, I have seen. 🕯️

Whatever they have chosen to make then happy. So be it.

We honestly have a lot to deal with in Nigeria.

Thank God for keeping him alive.

Submit to ‘Spirit control’

Sat, 29 Nov 2025

‘Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.’ Proverbs 25:28

In Bible times, cities were built with high walls around them for protection. Why? Because an enemy strong enough to tear down those walls was strong enough to take the city. Now you understand this Scripture:

‘Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.’
An anonymous poet wrote The Man in the Glass. Here it is: ‘When you get what you want in your struggle for self, and the world makes you king for a day, just go to the mirror and look at yourself, and see what that man has to say. For it isn’t your father or mother or wife who judgment upon you must pass, the fellow whose verdict counts the most in your life is the one staring back from the glass. Some people may think you a straight-shooting chum and call you a wonderful guy, but the man in the glass says you’re only a bum if you can’t look him straight in the eye. He’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest, for he’s with you clear to the end. And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test, if the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life and get pats on the back as you pass, but your final reward will be heartaches and tears if you’ve cheated the man in the glass.’ The Bible says, ‘The fruit of the Spirit is…forbearance [self-control]’ (Galatians 5:22 NIV). And the best way to have self-control is to submit to ‘Spirit control.’

To be contentment. Greatest of all lessons of life.

Gbam! Gunmi should be on the wanted list now abeg

‘Moved with compassion’

Fri, 28 Nov 2025

‘He was moved with compassion for them.’ Matthew 9:36

Was God telling him to stay in London rather than go to China? Thomas Barnardo had come to London for missionary training, only to have a ten-year-old child show him a rooftop where eleven homeless boys were sleeping. Barnardo was ‘moved with compassion,’ and set out to find temporary lodging for them. Other midnight tours revealed more homeless youths—as many as seventy-three in one night. China would have to wait; God had given him London.

Barnardo sold some three hundred thousand copies of the Scriptures in public houses and marketplaces to raise money for his work among the children. He was often persecuted for defending them, even sustaining physical injury. When a cholera epidemic hit London in 1866, he worked tirelessly, only to see thousands die. Some would have quit in discouragement, but not Barnardo. He eventually opened a Home for Destitute Boys, and later, a Village for Girls. Through the next several decades, he built numerous homes and villages that cared for some sixty thousand abandoned children, and became known as ‘the father of nobody’s children.’ And happily, he lived long enough to see seventeen of the young people he rescued enter the ministry and take the gospel to foreign lands. You say, ‘How can I be sure God is calling me to a particular need?’ Because you will be moved with compassion. ‘When He [Jesus] saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said… “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest”’ (vv. 36-38 NKJV).

Nope. He will never get it right. He wasn't a good candidate.....his records as the VIP to Obasanjo wasn't something to write home. He looted the nation wealth so much.

A prayer for deliverance from addiction

Thu, 27 Nov 2025

‘You have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.’ Romans 8:12

‘Heavenly Father, your Word says: “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, He will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. Therefore…you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live”’ (vv. 11-13 NLT).

I’m tired of struggling with this habit, and acknowledge that I’m powerless over it. So, I make a commitment now to surrender my will to you. Give me power to not only say no to Satan’s temptation, but to say an even stronger yes to You and Your plan for my life. You know the void I’m trying to fill. Take away my desire for this habit, and help me to withstand the cravings. Teach me how to walk in triumph day by day instead of thinking I can solve this problem right away. Your Word says ‘if the Son makes me free, I shall be free indeed” (See John 8:36). Your Word says “I can be more than a conqueror through Him who loved me” (See Romans 8:37). Your Word says, “Clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires’ (Romans 13:14 NLT). Clothed in Your presence and power, I will begin to walk in victory over this habit each day.

Henceforth, they are terrorists and not bandits.

The benefits of true friendship

Wednesday 26th November 2025

‘As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.’ Proverbs 27:17 NLT

Here are four benefits of a true friendship:

First, a true friend is someone who, when you feel like you have made a mess out of things and a fool out of yourself, still believes in you and reassures you that you haven’t done permanent damage. The Bible says, ‘There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother’ (Proverbs 18:24 NLT). Second, a true friend is someone who is there when the good times are not. The Prodigal Son discovered to his hurt that when your money runs out, many of your so-called friends go with it. Third, a true friend is someone who gets in your way when you are on your way down. James writes: ‘My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins’ (James 5:19-20 NLT). Solomon writes, ‘An open rebuke is better than hidden love! Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy’ (Proverbs 27:5-6 NLT). Fourth, a true friend is someone who comes in when the world walks out. The Bible says, ‘A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need’ (Proverbs 17:17 NLT). If you have friends like this in your life, treasure them—they’re a gift from God. And don’t just be a taker, be a giver. Go out of your way to be a true friend to someone else.

Delta State. Where we've had Ibori, Okonwa and others ruled as governors. And they collected a huge amount of money every months from the FG as an oil producing State.

It is well ooooo

How to get off the treadmill

Tue, 25 Nov 2025

‘I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he…heard my cry.’ Psalm 40:1

Have you ever watched a hamster running on a wheel? The hamster looks outside his glass cage and sees freedom, so he decides to make a run for it. But after a while, he realises that he is not getting anywhere, so he runs faster. He runs until he is exhausted and can run no more.

Can you identify with the hamster? You have been trying for years to break a habit, yet today you’re still in the same place—or worse. You have made New Year’s resolutions to quit your bad habits or have a better marriage or work on getting fit or improving your finances. Yet, you’re still in the same position. Why? Because you’re using the wrong method! You cannot change yourself. The only way for a hamster to find freedom is if his owner reaches down inside the cage and lifts him out. He needs somebody bigger than himself, with greater power. David said: ‘I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord. Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord’ (vv. 1-4 NLT). The way to get off the treadmill is to cry out to God, and He will set you free.

I wish them the best. But whatever they have to do. They need to do fast abeg.
