HOW I MET THE LOVE OF MY LIFE 💑.
#Thread Image
First impressions are nonsense, let me tell you something.Sometime last year, a guy intercepted me on my way out of Port Harcourt Spa and asked me out. Fine person! Tall and chubby, just the way I like them...
Well, with my plenty home training, I turned him down politely and continued my journey.For where?! Oga continued following me o. He wanted to know why? So I told him I had a boyfriend who loved and cared for me, and I wouldn't want to break his heart.
So can I have your number please? We could build a platonic relationship. You seem nice and receptive." I laughed. Receptionist ni! See this one! In this time and age? All these guys that like to follow backyard to collect somebody's investment... Better be kiafu! .
Well, after much much, I gave Oga my number😶At some point, he began to call too much, asking for a date. I blocked his line. Date ko, calendar ni! Again, he resulted to text messages.
I blocked that avenue too. Before I knew it, WhatsApp and Facebook Chat haff start. I discovered him and quickly blocked his hands off. Hian! 😂Then one evening as I was trying to sleep, I heard a knock on my door, and there He was. Standing. Smiling too. Very cute! Hian!
"How did you find me?" I asked.
"I love you." He replied.
Love who? Is like this one is high. Sharp sharp, I banged my door on his face, and went back to sleep. But the picture of his stupid cute smiling face won't just leave my head,
no matter how much I covered myself with the blood of my boyfriend. God abeg o!Fast forward to some months later. I got into deep trouble. Serious one. I felt I was gonna die from the effect. So I began to seek help. From friends and foes alike.
Guess what? In a twinkle of an eye, I looked around and I was standing alone. No boyfriend. No friends. Nobody. well some friends were kind enough to stay afar and Cheer me up with loud tunes:
"Hi, but nobody told me how. Nobody stood with me. Everything happened from a distance. No help, no direction. Nothing.
Gradually, I slipped into depression. I became bitter. Angry at anything and anyone. Tired. Drained. Distraught. Dejected. Almost insane.

At a point I attended every workshop/seminar. Listened to therapists. Tried making new friends, but still... nothing.
I Sha gave up and withdrew myself from civilization. I'd switch off my phones many times, to make sure I was the only one in my space. I was alone.A month later, I decided to jog on my street again. Had a "funny" story to write,
and needed to clear my head a bit, so I could get in the mood. As I jogged, I notice someone was also jogging from behind me. "Oni, stop. Stop!" He called.
Egbami! Who told this stalker my name?! I was furious.
When he noticed I won't stop, he doubled his steps and caught up with me. I looked at his face. Fine man. Same chubby person. Stalker aiye! Jersey and boots...Designers. Imagine? Mtcheew! He's even a bloody show off!
I rolled my eyes at him, and was about to continue my journey, when I felt him grab me. Into an embrace. I wanted to fight, but I was too tired to. Besides, the effect of the hug was seeping in. Very medicinal something. Unashamedly, I warned myself:
Aunty Pen, you need this, camdan and collect.😂 Gradually, I relaxed into him. Like I wanted to enter inside his body. Boom! The tears came. I cried uncontrollably. Just as I was entering gear 1, shame started catching me.
See me hustling for hug from the broad shest of a man that I have blocked on all platforms! Tueh!

This morning, I woke up to God’s word reminding me of the importance of process, waiting, building and staying to learn what He is teaching me as my teacher.

We may come that point where we almost feel like the Lord is not there because what we have asked for is not forthcoming, you may even feel discouraged but it is settled that the Lord never forsakes His own, not even in the fire!
So what about you? Do you eventually see God as wicked or unjust because He is not answering all your prayers? Are you that Christian who quickly becomes faithless when you are not seeing results?

Job said “Even if you slay me”
Esther said “If I perish I perish”
The three Hebrews boys didn’t mind if God saves them or not and Daniel wasn’t scared of dying in the lion’s den.
How comes we are only for God when it’s favorable? What happens to the process of waiting and learning? Just like David and Joseph, God may take you through a process before the palace.

Just like Abraham, you may have to wait for years to enter into God’s promises for you. We must learn to love God beyond what He can do for us, follow Him because He is God not just for earthly desires!

If you are in a godly relationship, tell us something you are grateful for in your partner or relationship. Let's share godly relationship goals.

Mine: We read books together, he basically encourages me because that guy reads😩

Also, I have learnt how to fast, like fast!
...and yes, I am better than I was in all aspects of my life.

There's more! We get our intimacy when we spend time talking about Jesus. Its beautiful😭
No sex! No smooching! No kissing! Just God's presence, two people growing into God's purpose for them.

If you are serving God because you want to get something from Him, one day you will wake up angry because you may not get all you desire but when you just love and trust Him, you may not get all you desire but you will get all that's best for you.
We serve God because its our life, we owe everything to Him. So just like the three Hebrew boys, Esther, Daniel, Apostle Paul etc.

It is not about how much God can give to them but how committed and sold out they are to God.
God wants us to come to that place where our confession becomes "If I perish I perish! I cannot choose my life or my desires above you Lord. I love you with everything".

This is the kind of growth God is calling us into🔥

Dear Christian,
The flesh is self exalting, it is self demanding! When the spirit says PRAY, the flesh will say you need to rest. When the spirit says BE CALM, the flesh will give you a hundred reasons not to! If you want to serve God, you must die to FLESH🙇
The flesh always wants to show how much it has achieved for God with small pride.
It wants to be able to show emotions, do whatever it wants without self control.
It doesn't even want corrections from God or the scriptures.
The flesh doesn't want to stay without food so if you want to satisfy it's desires, you cannot fast. You can stay for a whole busy day without eating but come and fast na, you will start shaking😂

I was having a conversation with one Unku who was showing some Interest me and I noticed how he was trying to mention God into everything he was saying, yes he wanted me to see how he knows God but I was not fast to conclude o!
I gave it time, I listened to all he had to say and I could see that he was trying to use the fact I was a child of God to make me feel comfortable but it wasn't so long before I could hear him condemn the standard of purity we are keep as believers!
Oh really, the same brother who sounded so God-loving could say there's no need to waiting until marriage if your family already knows about the relationship! God help us.

I was at a wedding yesterday, but I wasn't fast to say the God When anthem, not because it wasn't a beautiful wedding or because I don't anticipate marriage but because I know there is so much requirements for a GOD KIND OF MARRIAGE.
We all want to be loved by somebody's son or daughter, we want a beautiful house, we want to be loved and receive beautiful gifts from our partners. I want that too but wait fes, is that all?
What God has planned for us is way more than gifts, houses, flowers or even vacations. What God has planned is a home that will glorify Him.
