The Key And Money Troubles

Mama Segun and Mama Saamu had been friends since Mama Saamu moved into the compound four years ago but that's about to change.

"Shameless woman! Thief!! Thief!!"

Mama Segun rained curses on her friend as she tied her scarf round her waist. She plunged forward and grabbed her by neck.

"You will vomit that money today. Thief!"

"That God you always pretend to serve is the One that has exposed you." Mama Segun hit her with her right fist urging her weeping friend to confess.

Crowds had gathered outside the house as the elders urged Mama Segun to control herself.

That morning she had dropped her key with Mama Saamu as usual and told her expressly not to release her key to anyone but her husband if he returned before her.

"Mama Segun, ha!ha!! What happen!!?" Asked the landlord. "Baba thank you o!"

"This shameless woman has been the one stealing my money. Today my five thousand is missing and I will not take it easy with her."

After much debate she agreed that Baba would take them to a spiritualist the next day to find out the truth.

Mama Saamu had cried until her eyes were red as blood. She couldn't eat that night, all she could think about was the shame of onlookers slighting her. Her reputation was soaked in dung.

She clutched her Bible to her chest and sobbed "O God please reveal the truth and vindicate me."

At four a.m there was a frantic knock on her door, her heart sank. So it was settled despite all her prayers she would be dragged like a dog to confess before a spiritualist.

She hurried to open the door hoping the children won't hear the pounding door. As she opened Mama Segun grabbed her legs crying like a wounded lion. "I have found it o! Please forgive me."

Mistaken Identity

Nothing hurts more than when people take you to be something negative which you are not. If not handled properly it can dry the oil of motivation. Joseph had a DREAM but his brothers mistook him for a DREAMER. They said to one another, "...Behold, this dreamer cometh." (Genesis 37:19) Having a dream is NOT the same as being a dreamer. A dream is an appointment with destiny. A person who has a dream has an appointment that must be fulfilled. A dreamer is a person whose ideas and plans are not practical or based in reality. A dreamer is a joker. He talks about things he has no passion nor commitment to carry out. Joseph's brothers thought he was a dreamer. They were blinded by envy and driven by rage. They mistook their saviour for a serpent and tried to kill him, but God delivered Joseph out of their hands. Don't expect people to accept your dreams, They will call you a dreamer and it will hurt your feelings. They will try to bury your dreams but God will...

GOD CANNOT BE STRANDED! Make a big deal of whatever you have been called to do in the Lord's vineyard. Do the work with all your strength but don't ever be guilty of making 'yanga' before your Maker. As human beings we will be tempted to place much emphasis on ourselves as we grow in service especially when what we do is considered by many significant. We must do all to keep our focus on Him who has called us and determine to stay humble in Him. As ministers of the gospel, sometimes the work may be overwhelming but we mustn't think ourselves greater or more relevant than we ought. Elijah at some point thought he alone was God's option but God had 7,000 men waiting who could have taken his place. The question now is, if God had 7,000 then how many does He have today to replace one man who is tired? Elijah probably might have thought there could be no greater prophet than him but God had someone who was two times greater. Are you thinking that you are Go...

3 Reasons Why You Need Jesus

1. There is an afterlife. Even people that do not believe in God have an unspoken assurance within them that there is an afterlife. In the afterlife there are two destinations, good (heaven) and bad (hell). Jesus is the ONLY way to the good part. 2. There is  war in this life. Everyone is at war! War within, war without, war amongst, war everywhere. The enemy (devil) that we wrestle knows he has limited time to wreck his havoc. Our enemy is relentless and brutal, he has no respect for positions and titles, he works wickedness everyday. The only name he fears is JESUS, you need Jesus to win every war, have rest, peace and lasting victory. 3. Spiritual Fulfilment. Human beings are mere branches to the Tree (God). No matter how hard we try to satisfy ourselves with other things, there is a deep ache in our hearts if we don't have a relationship with God. Jesus is the only fulfilling link to the Father. Jesus is our spiritual lifeblood. If we are ever going shed the spi...
