In my first year in the Uni, I preached to anyone and everyone about Jesus. I didn't care literally, my own was just, 'Eskis please, have you heard about Jesus?'
Then one day, we were to go carry out practicals, we were fully kitted when I heard this guy, a course mate of mine (let's call him Vohn) talk to his friends how that there was no God.
An atheist? Issa wow! In my department? Lol.
At that moment I knew I wasn't gonna let this one go. You gon give your life to Christ bro.
Vohn was one of those kids who taught they were the most handsome and sort after. Tall, dark, and intelligent.
I too was a match for his brag, my confidence wasn't even in my looks, it was in the fact that, see this Jesus, he can save you!
I met him in the next class and preached Jesus to him. I didn't even let that opportunity slip by.
Once I did, he brought up all his atheistic proofs on how that "God no dey!"
Is that the best you can do brother? Lol. I told him in simple, understandable terms how that "God dey!"
He wasn't convinced and I let him go. I didn't stop preaching Jesus though.
I didn't harass him with it, but I found a way to slip it into our conversations.
Vohn wasn't having it. I kept praying for him with all my heart...
Fast forward to my second year, Vohn walks up to me and tells me, "Sissi, I have something to tell you..."
OK, I'm like, go on sir. He says, "Sissi, there is God, I believe in God. God exists..."
As I write this now, I'm in tears. Vohn?! You..? I knew he would believe, but I didn't know how fast, I didn't know how quick.
FAM, they might not listen to you, but on that day when they'll be pressed to give their lives, they'll look for you.
This is our calling.
This is our purpose.
This is our life.
Scream Jesus, preach it..! This is our agenda. And this agenda must agend. This agenda needs you to agend!
I had a friend that said their mind, only when telling a joke. They didn't know that I'm God's baby girl and in turn God's paddy. He highlighted the seemingly "meaningless" lines to me as though with a bold marker.
They'd want to express some jealousy, but they'd do it in the form of a joke and for every time they did, I could discern what exactly they intended to say, and that was because I had made a simple but sincere prayer to God.
It went like, "Lord, please I don't want to find myself living Psalm 1:1." God did not only answer my prayer but also gave me the ability to make the right choices and the necessary tools that I needed to do that—The gift of Discernment.
Sometimes, God’s intentionality about us shows in really random things. There are times you have a thought/desire you didn’t even pray about, & you just come across it on your social media or somewhere you weren’t expecting. A God who hears our WORDS and HEARTS. We stan 🙌
There are lovers that listen to every words you utter and grant your desires. Then there’s that lover who not only pays attention to your words, but to your heart too... He listens to every of your unsaid words and satisfies you, how refreshing to know!
The times you craved for shawarma and got it without asking,
The times you needed money and someone just asked for your account number (out of the blues. Lol)
The times you needed a friend and he sent someone to love you... I mean, you remember those times, don’t you?
Sis, You Said No To Him Already, So Why Are You Still Monitoring His Life?
Why are you stalking him, really? Why are you checking his social media to see if he has the picture of another lady? You already said you weren’t interested, so why?
I’m talking to you my dear, why so bothered? Why do you still look out for him at events or gatherings? Oh, I get it, the Bible tells you to be your brother’s keeper, so you’re trying to do your part innit? Lmao!
I’m not done... why does your stomach knot when you see him talking to another lady? What’s the challenge? I mean, the young gentleman met you and spoke to you about his interest, you said no,
