Before the serpent came



                                       
Light is all I see, driving out darkness and darkness calling itself night yet the moon rules in its glory. Void becomes vast in the fullness of His splendor while the power of creativity comes to be. The breath from His nostrils is a smoothing feel over the earth; the earth remains his foot stool.

Before the beginning relationships exist between the Father, Son and Spirit. The consubstantial persons create man to share in an unending undiluted love of joy and wisdom. Truly, there is no higher calling or greater honor than being in the plan of the Almighty before the serpent came around. Even at that, man translates into the image of His dear son.

There is a state of obedience which came from the depth of man and God lives in their midst as they fellowship together. The garden is man’s abode as the serene is free of sin and evil, naked they were but clothed in his glory. They were to be immortals as eternity is to be spent in worship singing hosanna. 

Loving man beyond measures, compassion over rides. He brings His peace flowing like a river, giving man the liberty to rule for where the spirit of God is there is liberty. All these exalts Him before the serpent came around, again; mercy prevails giving us the throne to be kings and princes. Authority in man’s hands through calling what is not as though they were giving beauty to creativity.

The state of my state

So I have been thinking, if a child offends his father in the house, does the father in the bid to correct his child calls his neighbour to report the bad deed of the child and begs the neighbour to help him spank the child? This is what I know, as a mother, when my baby is wrong, I talk to her calmly, lovely, I tell her how angry I am and I hope she doesn’t repeat it again. Of course, my girl constantly wants my approval so she will promise not be do it again. Other times, she does something wrong and I do not wait to talk to her sweetly. I will give her “abara” (spank), yes I am an African in the sense that I understand that this is my girl’s formative years and there are things that must be driven thoroughly into her. My girl is just 2 years 6months but there are times I have had apologised to her for judging her wrongly and I have scolded myself for being tough on her, other times I think I love her so sweetly that am scared she may get spoilt but I am quick to tell mysel...

Guiding Territories

Image
I understand that when a man cheats it is not always about the fact that his partner is doing something wrong. It is about the fact that it is in his nature to cheat, he has assumed society story that it is a man’s world and he is entitled to more than one woman. It is however amazing that women has so far helped to foster this narrative that most men are trained with the notion that they cannot be committed to a woman. In other to keep their men some women result to violence by tracing the women who has taken their men away and disfiguring their bodies.   Wives tend to pour their frustration on the women whom they think is taking their husbands away from them, forgetting that their husband is as guilty as the mistress. The society should frown at the man who disrespected his wedding vows and made mockery of his matrimonial home.  Everyone protects their territory. It is only a foolish person that sits; arms folded and allow the enemy takes his household into ...

The Condolence Visit.

Image
So I went to pay a condolence visit to a friend who lost her Dad. It happened to be the three days prayers for the dead and there were so many people present. I couldn’t believe my eyes, the governor of the state, ministers of top ministries and agencies, ambassadors both present and former.  I know my friend’s family to be an average Nigerian when it comes to wealth. Her family do not have a large bank account like she makes me believe because her father was a pious and gentle man. He was a content person filled with wisdom; he believed in the ways of the Prophet and sent many almajiri children to school. Politicians would usually seek his consent and request his blessings. These politicians never come to his house empty. While they present gifts in kind and cash to him, he rejects most not without telling the politician how ill he has treated his people and disappointed the Almighty who gave him the opportunity to be there. My friend always complained of how her fat...
