I remember a night in 2015
I was given a message for a Christian brother
He was a staff of a TV station close to my house
My wife works at the TV station
My immediate elder sister also worked at the station
This person is a colleague of both my sister and my wife
He is older than

me and is also a deacon in his church
We greet each other once in a while but we were not really familiar with each other
He and his wife had been waiting on the Lord for a baby for several years
I was at home that day, reading the Bible and praying in the Holy Ghost when I heard

his name
I took my pen and wrote down the instructions
The Holy Spirit said "Deliver this to him directly and immediately"
I was in my boxers and a pair of slippers
I ran into the bathroom and got to the office in about 30 minutes
I saw him from afar, it was as if the Holy Spirit

The only person that was consecrated Archbishop was Benson Idahosa. And that happened because of court injunction that he should not be consecrated a bishop. He was given an interlocutory injunction. When he was to be made a bishop some members of the church rose up against him

and went to the court. They brought an injunction that he should not be made bishop. But the announcement on radio and television continued.
So on the day of the event, the people who were to consecrate him bishop consecrated him Archbishop and the news went round that Idahosa

would spend his yuletide in jail for contempt of court. And he was charged to court and the judge said to him that he had run foul of the court order but he pleaded not guilty and explained that he was not consecrated Bishop but an Archbishop. That was how he became archbishop.

In her opinion, he was too childish when they met
He was 28
She was 26
He was working with a publishing firm
She was a lawyer
He was extremely intelligent
She was intelligent
She knew he had potentials but he was content to play happy go lucky with his life
She was getting more

out of life at 22 than he was getting at 28
He was making a poor salary, most of his earnings were based on commissions and the job takes him all over the country like a vagabond
He was part of the team setting up the book fairs and exhibitions and school tours
For the pittiance

he was being paid, she felt he was doing way too much
She told him about it
He just laughed it off, like a child
She knew they were taking advantage of him
She was sure that with his skills and intelligence he could do better
Way better...but he didn't see what she was seeing

9 [a]Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—

2 The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
a light has dawned.
3 You have enlarged the nation
and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice

when dividing the plunder.
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,
you have shattered
the yoke that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor.
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined

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!

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!

@funmine

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

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.
