BREATHLESS
He leaves me breathless, the way he blows my mind
When he kisses me, my heart pumps,
I forget I’m a Christian sister
I just want more.
He’s all I want, I’ve found In him what my heart longs for
All the years that have gone by
Is he the compensation?
Is he the one God
told me about?
I really can’t hear anything yet;
So I have an idea!
If I have to let him go (when God eventually speaks);
Before I let him go, I should have him.
I should let him teach me,
I should let him spoil me,
I should let him touch me.
He makes me feel 15 years wiser,
Says
I make him feel 20 years younger.
If everything he says and is, is true,
Then his “ex” wife must have been a hell of a foolish woman!
Wait a moment, they aren’t even fully divorced yet,
He only tells me they’re in process
Honestly, I don’t care about the details
I don’t want to.
All I know is that they’re both decided,
Irreconcilable difference!
Oh God, is this adultery and fornication at the same time?
Well… They don’t live together, the children are with the wife.
I want to know more, yet I don’t!
I want to be with him, but I’m so scared!
It feels so
right but I can sniff something wrong.
I want to get away, but I’m so trapped!
If I could walk away, I would have,
The very first moment he tried to hug me.
I didn’t let him, I won’t let any man hug me, being staunch.
Oh, now I remember how it all went wrong.
I inadvertently gave
him a chance to blow me away.
It was a Sunday afternoon, there was nothing to fear or worry,
We were to go to a public place to have lunch
Nothing would happen, I was too sure.
Picked me after church
He only wanted a chance to talk about his past marriage,
And properly ask me out
I knew the answer in my head,
The NO was swimming afloat,
Waiting for the perfect time to plunge in.
I said NO out of my head, a big, bold, assertive NO,
I’m not sure what happened in my heart,
It was genuinely concerned,
Genuinely worried and sorry.
How can such an angelic man
go through all that with his wife?
The 2 hearts connected, in the car, half-way home on the drop-off ride,
Then the 2 heads met, for the most passionate kiss I had ever enjoyed
I couldn’t stop.
He suggested Sheraton, I refused,
he suggested his home,
For comfort at least, he said
he’ll stop wherever I wanted him to.
I wouldn’t, I’m a child of God!
I finished my 9pm prayer in the ride as I was going to be dropped off
And right there, I started to grind on him with my clothes on
I let him touch me in the deepest parts ‘cause I enjoyed it.
I couldn’t explain
what I was feeling.
He was tender and my caramel body jelled to his rhythm.
Was I responding to starvation, or deprivation;
Or was there truly an irresistible chemistry, one made from heaven?
I waited  two extra months to understand that question.
He stills leaves me breathless
but I think he’s not Mr. Right
He still blows my mind beyond competition
It makes it more complicated.
Walking away is always in the plan, but never in the action
How could I ever want to hurt a good guy, the best I’ve met?
One who has shown me the sweetest kind of love?
My mentor, my friend and adopted dad?
Why should I let him cry when all he has given me are smiles?
I love him, I want him, I miss him at the thought of living him…
The god I saw from afar has now made me his idol!
It’s the way he stoops that blows my mind
It’s the way he cooks
that melts my heart
It’s the way he looks that spins my head
I have really wanted this for a long time…
Craved it for the long term
But I know that the only mistake he ever made was that he got married 15 years earlier than he should have!
Wait a minute?
Did I just make out
With him on the couch?
Was that me?
Oh my God?
I have been speaking in tongues all day
Hoping my prayers would do for me what I ought to do but the flesh won’t allow
Why has his bird built a nest in my head?
How do I escape this feeling I am feeling inside
I want him
Shame on me!
Yes I want him
I want to run, yet I stand still
How did Joseph do it?
Potiphar’s wife must be a tad ugly
My man is handsome, patient, kind, loving and generous
Wait!
Did I just call him my “man”?
I am lost
How do I get out of this quagmire?
What do I do?
I love him!
I love him so
So I reached out to my teacher
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt
I said “The whirlwind of love is blowing your daughter away
He said be calm
Make the following confession every night
The love will die without a trace
Your husband is just a corner away
This “love” is a distraction
I did as he said as I looked into the mirror
I said “Body, you were forged for glory, you will not love shame
Mind, you are fearfully and wonderfully made
You will not be an Esau
Heart, you are a symbol of Christ in the midst of His church, you will not love the forbidden!
Ayah!!
It worked
I saw him that evening and there was a distance
It was just there
He didn’t see it but I did
His touch no longer had electricity
He touched me and I felt mildly irritated
He read my mood and dropped me close to my house
He said I was a bit distracted
That was it!
The
Gulf grew larger and larger
Within a week, I was no longer pinning
I asked myself where all the feverish feelings and sudden tears went
This was a man I sent a text calling things off and I still sneaked to his office to kiss and hug
My body obeyed the Word of God in my mouth!

Some mechanics reached out to me at 7am today saying they need help to complete the chapel in their mechanic village. They had started the project but abandoned it for years due to lack of funds
I asked them how much they needed to complete the project
They said 302,000 Naira! ImageImageImageImage
I told them to send me their account number, I spoke with my team about the project. I really wanted to help the mechanic village with the project. The Holy Spirit said “Go to the mechanic village and see what is going on with your eyes. If you want to help, do it excellently! ImageImageImageImage
I drove to the mechanic village at about 1pm to inspect the site, I called @funmine’s husband! He is an excellent engineers whom I have worked with on several projects. I asked the mechanic village guys if I could build the chapel for them instead of giving them money. They said

His last sermon was titled “Benefit of Death”.
...he kept on shouting that day
"For me to live is Christ, for me to die is gain"
and he asked.... Are you afraid of gain?
Why are you afraid of death???
“I will go when my work is finished;
therefore when I am gone nobody
should be double-minded concerning
the will of God for my death.
I am going to go by the will of God, not the
will of witches or wizards.
No man can kill me.
Many have tried to hurt me spiritually
and physically to no avail.
God has not given the key of the vault
in which he
has hidden me to any man
or devil.
He did not invest so much in me only
to hand me over to the devil to fulfill
his dark and unholy idiosyncrasies.
I am indestructible by the grace of God,
so are you if you know my Jesus.
You know, here in Edo land, I do not know
about you

He was told one night while he was sleeping that his time on this side of eternity will be very short
He saw it himself
He was standing by the side of a river
A river that was as clear as crystal
He knew the river was not of this world
He was dressed in a three-piece suit and he
holding in his left hand an excavation material
Something that looked like a funnel and a hose
It was puzzling because he kept starring around looking for the key or bucket he was supposed to be drawing water from but there was none
He stood by the river for a long time as if he
was lost in thought
Then he took off his suit and waistcoat
He laid the two by the riverbank
He took off his necktie too
He didn't hear or think any words
It was like watching a silent movie
As he was about to take off his shirt
He saw an elderly man
The man walked down a narrow

We were at the Church's Day out when the symptoms hit me for the first time
The church organized a games, fun, and mingling event at CMD complex
I was there in official capacity with my boss (I was his PA)
It was supposed to be a very good day
One of those days you look forward
to
I had promised my wife and children that I would come home to pick them once we settle down at the event
As the PA to the pastor of the church, I have a duty to be at the venue and be part of the "setting up activities
We have food vendors, canopy, chairs, and tables suppliers
children entertainment people, mobile toilet suppliers, and so on to instruct and work with in order to make the event a success
I left home very early for the venue
People started arriving at about 10am that morning
By 11am, the event was in full swing
It was a glorious event

Archbishop Benson Idahosa said he once went to America to minister. While he was lodged in the hotel, a group of 16 pastors from an African Country came to visit him
They told him they were in America on a fundraising mission
They wanted to build a cathedral and felt their help
would come from abroad
He said he listened to them as they pleaded with him not onl;y to support their project but to put in a good word for them with the white folks who invited him to minister in the USA
He said he did the best he could to help them and wished them well
After a
week he returned to Nigeria to continue his work
He forgot all about the 16 preachers who were soliciting for funds
He said at the time his calendar was booked up for over two years
He had to travel to several nations preaching the gospel
The more he ministered in power, the
