AGBALUMO


Agbalumo (Africa star apple): as fondly called in my dialect is a popular fruit in my country and is loved by many. The intriguing thing about this fruit is people's love for the seed, as there are a whole lot of people that buys this fruit because of its seed.You even see some folks begging for seed (This table Ehn).

I was returning home one afternoon from an outing happily licking my fruit, when I got to the seed part and then my excitement skyrocketed from an 100% to 200%, I was legit grinning. What was going on? I had no answer to that.

  While enjoying my tasty "Agbalumo" and thinking at the same time, the Holy Spirit asked "What kind of seed are you"?  Are you an orange seed or an Agbalumo seed? ( forgive my choice of analogy, but anyone who has ever chewed an orange seed accidentally will understand this).Remember the bible says "By their fruits, ye shall know them". Is your fruit merely attractive or is your fruit attractive and sweet?

  It is one thing to look attractive, it's another to be attractive. Are you some juicy fruit with bitter seeds? Are you producing fruits meet for repentance.

I urge you this day to be juicy and attractive. That your seeds are sweet. Seeds of forgiveness, joy, kindness, humility, peace, and love, not seeds of bitterness, anger, pride, and hate
P. S: No-one likes an angry person (You can thank me later for the tip)

Don't be a beautiful lady with a bitter, angry and ugly character(seed) and trait, don't be an handsome bobo with repelling character( seed ). Let your character match your beauty,

Who knows, it can enhance it.

I hope you're blessed

I'm long overdue

I'M LONG OVER DUE I've been pregnant with this child for over a year and it has bluntly refused to be born. I tried every possible means I knew but it refused to come forth. Perplexed and frustrated, I wondered "why isn't this coming forth?" It was then it dawned on me that  I wasn't intentional about the birthing, I wasn't giving it the necessary attention it deserved and I allowed fear put me in a box. I was trapped in the thoughts of my fears "Do I have the strength to bear this child?" I would often speak. Thinking back now, I realize that I had underutilized my strength and underrated my capacity. I had forgotten that I'm not strengthened by myself but by the owner and giver of strength himself. As I thought about all of these, anger swelled in the inside of me and I screamed with the whole of my being "Arghh!!" With all the strength mustered in me, I pushed and the baby came forth! Yes! you heard me right, I birthed m...

FEAR

Image
I got to a friend's place sometimes ago, and I met the family playing Ludo game, I was invited to play and I consented to it, so my sister and I (We were together) joined the game. If you are famous with the Ludo game, you know your game only begins after you must have gotten a 6 ( A tutorial for another day). Well, every other person in that game had began his/her game except me, I was scared and worried. A little intro of me, I have fear of playing games (Ludophobia) especially with outsiders. After about 3 rounds, the game still had not begun for me, I did the only thing I could think of, I quit. I could not beat the shame, so I took the easiest route of quitting.  After a few days, my sister and I had the opportunity to talk about that game and she told me with all seriousness "Tolope, the only reason you say you have phobia for games is because you're scared of losing" As crude as that sounds, it was the utmost truth. I realized that, I was not Ludophobic,...

IMPREGNABILITY

Image
I remember the first time I saw the word "impregnability" and I thought to myself, "ah it must mean being pregnant" until I looked it up in the dictionary and realized it actually meant " too strong to be penetrated" or "Strong walls". Too many a times, we are quick to make hasty conclusions about people or situations without looking deeper and intensely. We are quick to jump into conclusions as some may call it. While I am not here go cast any stone as I have taken vacation from judging (That's a joke), I am here to ask you how many times you made hasty conclusions about yourself without finding out what you are capable of? You result to using the term "I can't", You have made yourself excusable in your eyes by downplaying on your intelligence, ability and energy. You also overhaul yourself with negative words. I'm here to remind you that you're impregnable (no, I don't mean being pregnant), you're strong,...
