SUNNY WEDNESDAYS (BACKSEAT)



She kept it at a minimal, she just wiped her face with a detox facial wipe and put a glossy lip gloss, bathed her eyes in a partially dried mascara she found beside her bedframe, wore her only nice dress remaining, a floral adire mini length gown.


Bugo sighed as she wondered what propelled her to talk to Madam Atinuke or better still accept her invite.


She took the flyer from her broken legged dresser and took the back door to avoid Baba Salami, the landlord targeting her for insults this morning, She was only owing two months salary.


The church looked decent as she sneaked in and spied to see if she would see a familiar face.


She regretted instantly the minute Madam Atinuke waved her over.


She pretended like she didn't see her and felt a tap on her shoulder. 


“Ma'am, we have a special seat for you in front,”

Bugo smiled and knew it was Madam Atinuke's handiwork that she was taken from the backseat.


She saw her smiling and muttered a greeting, “Bugo, I am so glad to see you”.


She muttered her appreciation again, she was a bit amused, it was either Madam Atinuke was used to her errant behaviour or she just intentionally ignored it.



♤♤♤♤♤♤


Her spirit felt lifted, the worship session was uplifting and she was grateful she obliged Madam Atinuke's invite.


She felt the trickle of tears and heard herself say “God, you are good,”


Atinuke knew Bugo was a tough nut to crack, but she also knew it was not her place to crack the nut, it was God’s place, she was going to propel her to the nutcracker.


She saw when Bugo had hidden and was avoiding her gaze, she also saw when Bugo had grumbled when the usher had reached out to Bugo to nudge her forward.


But now, Bugo was smiling with tears trickling down her eyes, singing praises.


She was so glad and gave thanks to God.

THE LIMITLESS YOU FORMATION!

Oxford dictionary defined LIMITLESS as: "being without end, limit, or boundary." It is a well known fact that man only uses 10% of his brain's capacity and only a few men have attempted using it to that point. Men like, Albert Einstein, Da Vinci e.t.c, and their works still impacts lives till tomorrow. Let me paint a picture of how great and amazing man is. "Man is a universe of greatness; he is so limitless in space that the limitless Creator of the universe can occupy him." Now I want you to ponder on that for a moment! To explain how limitless you are we have to go to our roots, our spirit. Man is made up of spirit, soul and body. He is a spirit who has a soul and he lives in a body. The main part of man that both keeps him alive and fuels the soul and body is his spirit. For once his spirit leaves, the body dies. There is no formation of a LIMITLESS man without a LIMITLESS GOD living in the LIMITLESS MAN. Man has devised so many means of t

DESIRES

                           It is a known fact that when we're attracted to a person. Our bodies have a way of tuning to want that person. A kiss would stir up a lot of other series of action.  A clap often than not leads to a dance. There are lots of relationships where the unmarried couples pray together and sleep together. God cannot be mocked neither can He fellowship in the same place where sin constantly frolics; Jeremiah 16:17 - For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. A Godly relationship is one in which the couple understands all the scientific and factual 'chemistries' that go on between their bodies but decide to put God as priority, the relationship becomes an altar for God to dwell. Measures need to be in place because as much as you do not want to indulge in any preactivity that might lead to falling into sin, saying it isn't just enough. Praying and acting on the

IF

"If I had written the exams at an older age, I would have passed" "If I had grown up with my parents, I would have chosen a better spouse" "If I didn't go to a polythenic, I should have been done with school by now" "If I had followed them to the party, I would have gotten that business card and probably would have gotten the job" These are the comments I got from friends that I asked concerning their "if" moments: If I loved my course of study from the onset, i would have graduated with a 1st class. If I hadn’t eaten so much, I wouldn’t be struggling with my weight. If I wasn’t scared and ashamed to rewrite jamb, maybe I would have gotten law and I wouldn’t be stressing over what to do when I graduate. If I had known I was enough for my happiness I wouldn't have relied on other people for my happiness. If I was not the first person in my family to attend university, I wouldn't have had some acade
