I Am A God (My Last Note on Facebook)

I came across this note today 03 November on Facebook.
I save it here to remind me of who i am......

Finally, the day has come. I decided to stop writing on Facebook due to some personal reasons of mine. But I had promised to write one more note as my final note. Will it be up to the standard of my previous notes? Let the reader decide. I was nervous as I thought about what to write. They say you are remembered most by what you did last. In this case I will be remembered by this note. I hope, sorry, I sincerely pray that this note resounds in your memory for a thousand generations.

It is not uncommon these days to hear someone say I talk like a god when they read my notes. One lady, who did not understand one of my notes, and was adamant in proving to me that I was forcing my opinion on people, said I was playing God. I guess that was her opinion of what a god is. But it got me thinking nevertheless.

The shortest comment ever placed on my notes was placed by Augustina Ngene on my note Spirit-Filled Fools and it was a one word comment, ‘Bold.’ I think that sums up the spirit behind the notes. My notes are bold. It is very clear that whoever is writing is very sure of what he is writing and therefore comes out strongly. Could that be the reason why some find it difficult to accept what is said in my notes? How can a human being be this bold? This and many more questions are on the readers’ mind. Then I realized I am not the first person to have been posed with this question. My elder brother was. When the far to see and the sad to see could not understand the audacity with which He spoke they were infuriated and wanted to stone him. When He asked ‘why?’ They said, ‘because you being a man make thyself equal with God.’-John 10:33. Then he responded with words that will forever resound through the ages, ‘Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?’-John 10:34; Psalm 82:6

Could this be the reason why the lady said I was playing God? Because I spoke like a god? But if I don’t speak like a god, who the bible says I am, who then should I speak like? A slave? Many of us have allowed our environment so debase us that we no longer know who we really are? We’ve allowed our minds to be contaminated with slave mentality we no longer know that we are masters of the universe. We’ve allowed our environment talk down on us we no longer know that we are here to rule over our environment.

I am a god. That is who I am and I will speak like one. I am born of God. If a lion gives birth to a lion who should God give birth to? Until you have the mind power to accept this truth you can never perform at optimum capacity. A lion that thinks like a sheep will eat grass. Your identity is your strength in battle. If you don’t know who you are, you assume yourself to be who you are not. Don’t let the world define you. Let the WORD define you. If the word says you are it, you are it, irrespective of what your current reality is. If you don’t see it in your mind, you will never hold it in your hand. I have trained myself to accept what the word says. It is unimportant whether I feel like it or not. If the word says I am a god, then I am a god, nothing less.

Gods don’t flinch when the economy is in turmoil. ‘When God began creating the heavens and the earth, the earth was a shapeless, chaotic mass, with the Spirit of God brooding over the dark vapors.’ Gen 1:1-2 (TLB). In the midst of the darkness God brooded. I know our traditional minds tend to think that God was meditating on what to do. We have heard it from the pulpit many times. ‘God was brooding, He was meditating, He was deciding what to do, bla, bla, bla.’ But if you go back to the original language the word used for brood is the Hebrew word rachaph (raw-khaf), and in literal translation it means ‘to relax.’ God was not trying to solve a GMAT question. He already knew what to do. He was relaxing in the midst of a shapeless, chaotic mass. And when he was done relaxing He addressed the situation. This is what God expects us as gods to do. He did not flinch when His economy was in turmoil. It did not bother him when His economy was going on recession. He knew what to do. Someone said ‘No matter the economy of the jungle the lion cannot eat grass.’ Everything God needs is on the inside of Him. Everything I need is on the inside of me. And from what is on the inside of me I produce what I want on the outside.

A couple years back I called a technician to come service my generator. When he came, he came with an apprentice of his. The weather was pretty hot that afternoon so I went inside, into the sitting room and brought out two plastic chairs and two bottles of malt drinks for them. These guys were afraid to receive the seats and the drinks from me. They have never been treated with such dignity before. They were used to being treated like dirt so the day someone treated them with respect it was strange. There must be an ulterior motive.

The story above reminds me of a comment Ife Klevadiva posted in response to one of my notes. About how she always commends ladies in her school but later discovered that some were hesitant in accepting such commendation. We have all met people like that. People who have been so used, abused, and misused over a long period of time and they now live life backwards. They have little or no self-worth anymore. When you have these kinds of people around you all the time you begin to think that they are normal and you are not. And I have likewise met many Christians who in a bid to act humble in their environment have mistaken stupidity for humility. They stoop low with couched shoulders and say ‘only the heavens know who will make it.’ They think they are humble when they are actually acting stupid. No my friend, no. Rather stand tall and talk with confidence, ‘I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.’-Philippians 4:13. I refuse to let myself be intimidated or influenced by the world. The word says in Rom 12:2, ‘Do not be conformed to the standard of this world.’ That is another way of saying ‘Do not let the world mould you into shape.’

Who do you say you are? Your identity is your strength in battle. I love the Americans. When things become tough you hear them say ‘I am an American.’ If you don’t say you are, they will say you are not. So, stop saying whatever will be will be. Start saying what you expect to happen. And say them like it has already happened. Don’t be afraid to say them even if your current realities are saying otherwise. Your world responds to your words. Even your body system starts up or shuts down based on your words. If you keep saying you can’t do it, you can’t make it, you don’t have the resources, your mind shuts down. But if you can be bold and stand tall and say ‘I can make it,’ ‘I can do it,’ ‘I won’t give up,’ ‘No matter what.’ Hey!!! Your mind wakes up. The universe responds to the voice of a lion. Let the lion in you roar. ‘For as a he thinks in his heart so is he.’-Prov 23:7 And ‘he shall have whatsoever he saith.’-Mark 11:23.

Speak the word. Fill your mind with God’s word and speak it forth to yourself and your circumstances. Everything responds to words. This I have discovered for myself. The only regret I have today is that these truths did not sink in early enough. For when a lion is comfortable with sheep, he eats grass. I have been a lion amongst sheep for too long. Not anymore. No, not anymore. Now I know who I am. I am a god!

Wow! At last. Now I can rest. But I will not leave without giving a big shout-out to everyone that has been with me and that includes you, yes you. I definitely will not be able to name everyone but you all mean so much to me. However I will name the few that I can remember right now. My 5-star friends; (your names were mentioned in my note on Criticism). My greatest fans; Evelyn Omowunmi Mann, Ogundiya Seun, Ajibola Emilola Olufunke, Emma Uwan, and Ezuruike Ezinwa. Fellow writers changing the world with their words; Olalade Adeoye, Tochi Eze, Ife Klevadiva, John Igbinovia, Promix Blue, Gen Adeyinka Adeniran, Olumide ODewole, Adaeze Inzion, the list is endless. Finally, the one whom I have never met but mentored me with her notes without seeing me. The one whose notes went deep into me and pulled out the gift of writing in me, the one who stands alone in a block while all the others stand in one block, Mrs. Adebola Deji-Kurunmi. The world does not deserve you. You, Ma, are a gift.

Fire!!!!

Just heard the news
Bomb blast in Abuja,
The first ever record of suicide bombing in the nation they claim
Its a long haul, and we are approaching the brink of over very existence.
there is fire on the mountain and no one seems a running like Asa said in her song.

Many are the afflictions on Nigeria.
Are we "righteous" to anticipate the Lord's deliverance.
Can we dare to Hope for deliverance.

Lessons to learn......

GAIN FROM THIS........

SAD STORY TO GAIN FROM

A Couple have been married for 5 years now. They have a 2 year old daughter. Like any couple they have their ups and downs, that's life. One day just after they had a fight over their differences of opinion, the wife went shopping at the local mall, where she bumped into her ex-boyfriend from varsity.
After a chit-chat, she discovered he was doing well for himself in business. They exchanged numbers. From that day on, they started talking daily over the phone. Plans were made to meet, but where, when? That's when the ex-boyfriend came up with a plan that they should meet in Cape Town to spend a week together.
The ex-boyfriend would organize everything; the plane tickets and a nice beach holiday resort for them to enjoy. She would have to lie to her husband, saying she is going to a conference in Cape Town for a week.. Her husband took her to the airport on Sunday evening. 2 hours later she was met in Cape Town by her ex-boyfriend who had arranged a very romantic evening with her.

After the romantic evening they went back to the resort, made love without a condom, of course they have known each other for a very long time. For the next 5 days they had a wonderful time jollying / quad biking, up the mountain in the cable car, swimming and sun bathing etc, wining and dining at the Capes top cafe's and restaurants, something she had rarely done with her husband. They enjoyed everything money could buy, until she left on Saturday afternoon back to Johannesburg ..

They used different flights to avoid being seen together (you know people talk). She was waiting in the airport for her husband to fetch her, when she received a call from her ex-boyfriend, who told her he was HIV-positive and that it was not a co-incidence when they met at the mall.. The reason why he infected her with the disease was because he was jealous of the family she has and the beautiful woman she had become
and the fact that he was financially successful but he is not happy because he knows that he is dying.

At that moment she just stood there and froze; thinking about what to do, as it was already too late to take anti-retroviral. She could lay a charge against him; it would only expose her for cheating on her husband. That's when she took a taxi to her best friend's house. She told her friend everything that had happened and ask for advice. The friend advised her to come clean with her husband, tell the truth, she has just lost everything and has nothing more to lose.

She then phoned her husband and explained every thing. To my surprise, the husband picked his wife from her friend's house; he sat down with her and told her how much he loves her and reminded her of the vows he took at church and that it was a terrible mistake she has made, which unfortunately she has to pay for it with her life. He told her that he is never going to leave her, he has forgiven her and will stick by her side no matter what happens.

Now she stays in another bedroom and he shares his bedroom with their daughter. What is currently happening is, the wife is terribly sick and might die at anytime. He told me this because he was asking me for prayer support, because he believes that a group of friends praying together, the stronger the prayer might be.

The other reason was that I should let you all know of such happenings as a warning to anyone contemplating cheating, to weigh up if it's worth it! As I sit and think about this experience, I thought to my self: why him? But I can not seem to come up with an answer. Then there is a lesson here;" You never know what you've got until....

"The morale of the story is? As people, we tend to undermine those who love us for a moment's pleasure (we are never aware when we are loved).We keep on chasing waterfalls rather than sticking to the rivers, where we can swim with ease. To all my brothers and sisters, love the one you are with...
