So today is very busy for me as have been the last couple of months since Kenn's single got out! Did I mention that what God showed more than 15years ago has finally come to pass? I now work for my husband (among other things that I do though)!!
Have you ever wondered why whenever you are undergoing a challenge or rough patch in your life, people seem to vanish into thin air? Hmmmmm....I don't know how people do it but I am glad that I have had certain experiences and come out stronger. Most importantly, I understand covenant relationship and can seperate them from other relationships I have.
I thank God for the true covenant friendships I have. Gist about them is for another day but I assure you, they have been tremendous even when I didn't expect it. Even though I don't mention their names here, they know themselves!!!
A very good friend of mine once told me - "In prosperity, your friends know you but in adversity, you know your friends". This quote simply blew my mind! It helped me get over a lot of disappointments!
You see, I am blessed!!!When I seem to be in need of an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on or someone to make me laugh, they just know when and my phone rings or beeps! "How are you?" "What are you up to?" "I love you" and the occassional " My friend! Am I your mate?" Lol!!! Just spot on! The best part is that I give 100% love and attention and get back 100% love and attention from these Terrifiic Three. No begging or cajoling! Amidst true selflessness. These 3 don't let me get spoilt; when I'm wrong, they let me know I am wrong - no apologies; they are not afraid to do so. They don't hate me even when I do wrong. They just know how to seperate the deed from the person. Not afraid to correct me neither afraid to love me! I love them and they love me with everything (and that's a lot) and we know it!
To my Terrific Three - I celebrate you!

Lifting holy hands
When I met him, that was what blew me away! The passion with which he worshipped God. I had never seen anyone or anything like that before. That's what works for me! You know those days when you don't feel like praying, praising, studying or worshipping? I found my key...I just play Arugbo Ojo or Igwe (wait till you hear it) or Great Jehovah and I am immediately moved to worship, pray in tongues and look for God in His word.
The bible teaches us to worship God lifting holy hands...it makes a lot of sense! To lift holy hands and lift Him up on our praises.
My little Kendra practices what she sees! :)

That's love!
Its 3am in them morning again and after a very loooooooong day in Lagos traffic, I still am awake. The thots dat run thru my head are....where do I start.
I am happy, I choose to be happy. I am grateful to God my Father for the people he has sent into my life. My husband - Kenn. Ur ways are not my ways but I appreciate them cos they still achieve the same results. I love him oh! Hmmmmm...I didn't know this was how it felt to love someone and if I hadn't been taught how to by the best parents in the world - my Pastors (Pst K nd Pst M) I am sure I wlda gotten it all wrong! Love is about giving 100% and not expecting anything back. I know some people don't agree with me on this but that's gist for another day. Read ur bible (1 Corinthians 13).
Did I tell u why I was in traffic for so long? Hmmmmm...dats how Kenn asked me to represent him at a wedding on the Lekki side of town (I live in festac). While planning on how to drive down with Kendra (she's the best baby in the world! I am thankful such a stressfree baby exists and not just that...she is mine!!!), my friend drops off her baby with me to babysit so off we all go to the island! Just as I was getting to Apapa, I realised I had forgotten the IV and the wedding was one of those strictly by invitation events so I thot and thot (I eventually thinked!) Made a few calls and eventually had to go back home to get the IV! How I got home with Lagos traffic is anoda gist for anoda day oh! Hmmmmmm...passing thru surulere, I had a screaming baby and another for backup in the back of my car!!! On Ozumba Mbadiwe road, I had to park the car and attend to both kids. Kendra was hungry so once I fed her, she was good to go. 'My son' on the other hand, needed his mommy so all efforts to pacify him were rebuffed (even with all my mommy skills). He eventually ate (u don't wanna know how I got him to do that) and slept off! *phew*.
Thank God for my friend who accompanied me and for the fact that I was on an errand for my lord! I wlda just turned around for the second time and headed home.
So both well fed (I did some Jane Bond things), 'my son' slept while Kendra started her singing then slept off just as we arrived Lekki.
With all the stress of the day, I walked into the wedding venue (late) and really was still asking myself why I had gone thru all that trouble to be here when the bride and groom got up from their gazebo, with huge smiles on their faces and their arms wide open to welcome us! Awwwwwwwwww...it was worth every bit of what I had been throughh to be there. Camera's were flashing, smiles etc. I just knew I had done the right thing.
Why is there construction going on everywhere at the same time in this Lagos self! Took me a whole 3hrs to get to Lekki (include going back to get the IV).
So I obeyed my lord, baby sat 2 babies successfully, drove 3hrs to a wedding and made the couple happy. Everyone is happy! Including me! Irrespective of the fact that I was tired, I always get satisfaction when I know I ve put a smile on someone's face.
That's love!

Are you Wise or Foolish?
One of my sistas had a baby girl and got me all excited. Wow! We've been friends from primary/elementary school and here we are today - mothers!
It kinda took me down memory lane again - how Kendra came to us. You know, its amazing how God can take a seed and from it, form a complete human being! Wow! That human lives inside another human for 9 months before being brought out. Hmmmmmmm...no wonder the bible says 'there is none like our God; none can be compared to Him'. Nobody greater! He made an open discgrace of the devil by rising up from the dead at the very time He said He will!
So how can someone, anyone say there is no God? Scientists have tried (oh! Did I mention that they have failed several times) to create a human being. My dear, help yourself! I would rather be with a performer oh!
The fool says in his heart 'there is no God'.

Let it go....
Have you been trying to understand why you are accused and never really given a chance to tell your side of the story; not asked, not even been told what you had done wrong. Rather, you are judged, maybe even punished before you even have a chance to understand why...?
I have been there myself and painful as it has been, painful as it was, I remind myself that Jesus was even in a worse place and he never got an answer to his question "WHY?". So who I be?
I saw a friends pm yest and it read " Sometimes the people who know least about you have the most things to say. Don't let their poisonous, fictitious words influence you.".
Set yourself free. Let it go...its truly not worth it. Your past can infect your future unless you decide 2 let it go.
1. Let go of your feelings.
2. Let go of a wrong concept of God. He is not your earthly father. He forgives and forgets. He has ruled in ur favour as NOT GUILTY!
3. Let go of what others have done to you.
4. Let go of what you have done to others.
5. Let go of what you failed to do. God is a God of many chances.

The Best Blessed Man
Being a woman tends to be really overwhelming. Now being a wife, mother, sister, friend, leader, business woman and career woman! Phew!!!
Waking up at 4am is the only way out. I spend time with J-E-H-O-V-AH (Flo). That's where I draw my strength for the day. Then I jump into the kitchen while supervising my girl to sweep and mop the house(yes, my husband values me - if you missed the wedding anniversary LDM, I can't really help you). Make breakfast before Kendra wakes up because once she does, its a full time job! She wakes up at 6am everyday - I bathe her, dress her (amidst all her wriggling on the bath table) then make her breakfast after which she falls asleep for.....10 mins (ok, 30mins at the most) then I take that time to bathe and just lie down. She wakes up again in a few mins and wants to hop, climb, pull down, tug at everything she sees including me! Well, the rest of the day is all about Kendra. She feeds 5 times daily, crawls around the whole house, holds onto anything above her crawling height to stand up, tugs at all the wires within her reach...I spend the whole day literarily watching her. Somewhere in between, I serve Kenn breakfast, lunch and dinner. Make him a salad or a snack (yamballs), go thru homework with my girl and at 7pm, Kendra is all cranky, ready for her bath and sleep time. I bathe her, give her a warm bottle of milk and put her to bed by 8.30pm at the latest. Then it's Kenns time where I cater to his needs (food, sitting with him to watch a football match, talking about his day...)After which I am allowed to fall into bed exhausted. My saturdays and sundays is gist for another day!
So, why am I telling you all this? I'm just so blessed because amidst all this, there are those days when I don't get to bathe Kendra, dress her or spend the day watching her because my husband gives me that day off! (Love u babes). He picks her up from bed at 6am, bathes, dresses and feeds her while I am still asleep. He makes his breakfast (and mine) then stays with Kendra both watching Dora the explorer (he actually plays his PSP while she is watching her cartoon lol). All this time, I am lying on the couch, bathed, well dressed and fed, watching TV, reading a book...anything I really want to do! Sleep, wake up - we go out for the day and.....he has Kendra still. We return home and have dinner. He bathes Kendra, feeds her and puts her to sleep. Then we watch 'the doctors' he gets warm water for my feet, hot water and a towel to press my body after which I am tucked into bed.
No, I didn't wake up; it wasn't a dream. This was how I spent my yesterday. Don't I have the best blessed man?

BOYSquarters and MANsions
I lost 3 of my friends last year. All 3 of them died cos of bad marriages. Really sad.
The first one was 8 months pregnant and had an asthma fit. Her husband took money with the intention of buying her drugs but ended up strolling out with his friends. The next time he saw his wife, the foetus had suffocated in her womb and she was also dying. Problem was he hadn't worked a single day since he married her so she was the breadwinner and he couldn't afford her treatment. I buried my friend.
My 2nd friend married a wife beater. He would. Beat her to a point she would land in the hospital and she always went back to him cos she didn't want her child 2 come from a broken home. He beat her one day, stabbed her to death and took some of her body parts while @ it. Then he ran off. I still wonder why he hasn't been judged by the law.
The 3rd one also married a man who wanted to be "a man" but refused to work. So she was feeding, clothing and fending for him and her little child all by herself. Paying rent etc while he wld sit @ home doing nothing. She died from stroke at the young age of 32 years! What would make a arae year old intelligent and vibrant woman have stroke? STRESS!!! Yet this man didn't even allow this woman make any decisions in the house. Never took her advice and never listened to her. Did I mention that her father was the one paying their rent?
As my Pastor wld say those were boys still living in BOYsquarters. Men live in MANsions. Boys have no business getting married. They have no business being responsible for another life - be it a wife or a child. The bible teaches that a MAN will leave his father and mother to be joined to his wife.
Planning on getting married or married and not getting it right? You can have the marriage of your dreams.

Destination
I went to the market last week to buy some things for cooking and decided to stop by one of my friends mothers store to buy some soup ingredients.
I told a fellow church member that I was going to "Mama Joys" store and she begged me not to mention that name! I thot they had quarrelled and was shocked until she told me that JOY had died the previous day!!
She only got married last year and was 7 months pregnant. I understand she was sick (vomitting, stooling and difficulty in breathing) and cos her health was deteriorating, they tried to save the baby thru a ceaserian section but JOY didn't survive it. I'm not sure yet about the state of the baby. I shed a few tears out of shock but thot better? She is in that awesome place we know and call heaven and someday, we will meet her there!
Death could call on anyone of us at anytime. It doesn't give a notification. What makes the difference is accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour. This way, death isn't an end but a passage into eternal life in heaven!
If you haven't given your life to Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, please say this prayer now because the next minute might be too late:
Lord Jesus, I come to You today. I am sorry for my sin and I repent of it now. Come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour. From today, I'll walk with You. Thank you Lord.

Fatherhood
Kenn was reading through my blog and smiling (Kenn is my knight in shining armour, my heartbeat *wink wink - my husband) and asked me "when are you going to write about fatherhood, sisterhood, brotherhood and robin hood?". I laughed. He has a huge sense of humour but that got me thinking back to 2 nights ago when I had 3 kids come spend d night at my house with their mother. I kept wondering when they would go to bed as it was a school night; instead, they sat watching cartoon network; so I watched as the hours crept by - 8pm, 9pm, 10pm! Then I decided it was time to change the channel and I told the oldest nicely that I wanted to watch something else (I had been severely warned by their mom not to scold her children not matter what after I scolded him for hitting an elder when he was rebuked. She said she talks to them in love). He went off to report me to his mother while the younger brother spent the whole time screaming and crying (all in the name of sleep) while being "backed" around the place. "If I don't back him, he won't sleep" the nanny said. Well, he was backed and didn't sleep until 1am, crying the whole time!! Even my 6 month old knows her bed time and bed space and lies there singing softly until she falls asleep! The older one came back to tell me he would report me to his daddy... I could almost hear Kendra saying "if only you know my dad, he would flog your behind"
Kenn was in shock and kept repeating "my children will never be this spoiled". I agree with him.
Mothers are known to show love to the children while fathers are expected to instill discipline in them (not that the roles cannot reversed). Problem now is, some fathers and sadly mothers are too busy making money and closing business deals that these children grow up without any values. Every child needs to grow up with a mother and father figure (it balances them out). Where the biological parents are not available, they choose role models. Somehow, these role models end up becoming the father/mother image they never had. This could be anyone ranging from a nanny to a jeans sagging rapper on channel O.
Remember the story of the 4yr old boy who was sexually abused by a 10yr old girl? Not in the western world, NO, not in a movie; right here on nigerian soil!!!
This is the time to raise the preserved generation. We can't keep letting people raise our kids for us. We need to show them the way, mould them into the future generation we need so badly. Fathers your children need you to spend time positively impacting them. Mothers too.
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it - Proverbs 22:6

Gifts
A guy sent me a post asking Ladies to immitate a popular tv personality as she bought her boyfriend a lamborghini for his birthday. He wants ladies to stop buying him singlets as gifts.
A lamborghini is an exciting gift and one I will buy for my husband if Jesus tarries...
My issue with this is why immitate her? Why be mentored by a lady who cldnt stay married for 3 months, is still married legally but buying a lamborghini for a boyfriend yet refused her husband moving his belongings into her house after conviincing him to leave his comfortable house and life in another state and marry her? Why be mentored by a woman who obviously needs mentoring? I have a mentor! She bought her husband (please note I said husband 2ce) a power bike and has been happily married for 7yrs now. I have everything good to learn from that godly woman!
Please, this young man who doesn't like to receive vests and draws as gifts but wants an expensive gift...have you bought yourself one? I maintain that a singlet man will only attract singlet ladies! A human can't give u what he/she doesn't have. Invest in the woman and see what comes out of her! In my own opinion, she might have just been responding to his needs considering that he always has holes in his singlets. The important thing is that she saw a need and met it! If you have holes in your singlet, please appreciate that woman cos what you really need are new singlets!
Buy yourself a 4x4 first then you can start to desire a lamborghini woman!
Please let's learn to look at the bigger picture.

Letting go...
You know how you keep buying things even if you don't need them and keep them for years and still don't use them? so today, I let go of something that I have been holding onto for a very long time. its something I thought I would not be able to live without but as soon as I iet it go, a flood of relief came!
Its funny but that is exactly how God walks with us. He does not want anything to become more important than Him. He is faithful so He keeps His word.
When left my job 6 months ago, I felt like had no idea what I was going to do next but God just needed me to let go. I started making money almost immediately. this just taught me to rely more on God.

Mirror Image
Did anyone see the video of a child beating up infants left in his care? NO! NO!! NO!!!
Why would anyone employ the help of a child to watch an infant? He didn't just beat these infants, he gave karate kicks, drop kicks, punches, bites, pinches...oooooh, it was horrifying.
Parents, pls help us. You are the images your kids immitate! They see and hear everything you do and would always want to copy it! Be really mindful of what you do or say around them. We must live right if we want our children to turn out right. Proverbs 22:6;
I read on my pastors blog about a child who thought it was normal for a man to beat up a woman because his father was doing it at home so he had no respect for any female; young or old!
Parents, Dad and Mom, pls don't let just anyone cater for or train your child. Its your responsibility! Nothing should be more important than your family to you (apart from God). The way we raise our children today, determines how they would turn out tomorrow and how they turn out determines what the future of the world would be like.
Kenn, on his way home yesterday sent me the pic you see on this page. A child had been found dead, wrapped in ankara and zipped up in a bag then abandoned on a bridge somewhere near where we live.
Pardon me but, what kind of woman would carry a pregnancy for 9 months and go through the usually challenging process of childbirth all with the intent to give life to someone; only to turn around and play God by ultimately snuffing out the same life she gave to this child? Why get sexually active when you are not mature enough to handle the consequence? Just asking...
Some day, she will be "ready to have children" and maybe have a daughter. What advise will she give to her daughter if she came home pregnant?
Anyone can birth a child but it takes someone really special to be a mother/father.

Its 3am in them morning again and after a very loooooooong day in Lagos traffic, I still am awake. The thots dat run thru my head are....where do I start.
I am happy, I choose to be happy. I am grateful to God my Father for the people he has sent into my life. My husband - Kenn. Ur ways are not my ways but I appreciate them cos they still achieve the same results. I love him oh! Hmmmmm...I didn't know this was how it felt to love someone and if I hadn't been taught how to by the best parents in the world - my Pastors (Pst K nd Pst M) I am sure I wlda gotten it all wrong! Love is about giving 100% and not expecting anything back. I know some people don't agree with me on this but that's gist for another day. Read ur bible (1 Corinthians 13).
Did I tell u why I was in traffic for so long? Hmmmmm...dats how Kenn asked me to represent him at a wedding on the Lekki side of town (I live in festac). While planning on how to drive down with Kendra (she's the best baby in the world! I am thankful such a stressfree baby exists and not just that...she is mine!!!), my friend drops off her baby with me to babysit so off we all go to the island! Just as I was getting to Apapa, I realised I had forgotten the IV and the wedding was one of those strictly by invitation events so I thot and thot (I eventually thinked!) Made a few calls and eventually had to go back home to get the IV! How I got home with Lagos traffic is anoda gist for anoda day oh! Hmmmmmm...passing thru surulere, I had a screaming baby and another for backup in the back of my car!!! On Ozumba Mbadiwe road, I had to park the car and attend to both kids. Kendra was hungry so once I fed her, she was good to go. 'My son' on the other hand, needed his mommy so all efforts to pacify him were rebuffed (even with all my mommy skills). He eventually ate (u don't wanna know how I got him to do that) and slept off! *phew*.
Thank God for my friend who accompanied me and for the fact that I was on an errand for my lord! I wlda just turned around for the second time and headed home.
So both well fed (I did some Jane Bond things), 'my son' slept while Kendra started her singing then slept off just as we arrived Lekki.
With all the stress of the day, I walked into the wedding venue (late) and really was still asking myself why I had gone thru all that trouble to be here when the bride and groom got up from their gazebo, with huge smiles on their faces and their arms wide open to welcome us! Awwwwwwwwww...it was worth every bit of what I had been throughh to be there. Camera's were flashing, smiles etc. I just knew I had done the right thing.
Why is there construction going on everywhere at the same time in this Lagos self! Took me a whole 3hrs to get to Lekki (include going back to get the IV).
So I obeyed my husband, baby sat 2 babies successfully, drove 3hrs to a wedding and made the couple happy. Everyone is happy! Including me! Irrespective of the fact that I was tired, I always get satisfaction when I know I ve put a smile on someone's face.
That's love!

Arugbo Ojo
MK (as he is fondly called by The Rock Image Choir of DCC) was born into a family of christians. He grew up knowing, loving and serving God. As a little child, MK found his calling when he was asked to not join the kiddies choir at age 7; the pain and emptiness he felt as he watched other kids sing and glorify God was unexplainable. From that day he knew it was either music or nothing, he had found his purpose, this was what he was called to do - to serve God with the gift of music..
As a young teen, he joined the teens choir and learnt how to play the drums and bass guitar and after mastering these instruments, he self tutored himself on the piano.
Shortly after that, he discovered his singing ability and he started to sing. He would spend 8hrs daily on voice training/rehearsals and still does his voice rehearsals till date. This throws light on the incredibly strong tones and pitches we hear from MK in each of his ministrations. He has never looked back.
Worked with gospel singers like Hope Davies, and Sammie Okposo, done background vocals for Donnie Mcklurkin, Ron Kenoly and Detrick Haddon, MK has paid his dues and matured as a gospel singer. MK has shared the same stage with our own Sammie Okposo with who he worked for 8 years, PITA, Eben, Freke, Nathaniel Bassey, also Donnie Mcklurkin, Cece Winans, Micah Stampley, Israel Houghton, Detrick Haddon, Fred Hammond, Chevelle Franklin, Kirk Franklin to mention a few. MK is a tool in Gods hands to take Gods praises and put on the lips of all nations.
He's been the Music Director of Davids Christian Centre's choir for more than 5 years and today, he has mentored many in gospel music.
Happily married to his bestfriend and covenant partner Ebele, they have the most amazing daughter Kendra.
Arugbo Ojo - meaning Ancient of Days, is a of a creature to his Creator in awe of His awesome Majesty. Writing this song is an attempt at expressing the Majestic Awesomeness of Jehovah our God. The song captures special moments of fellowshipping with and worshipping God.
Like fine wine, expect more from this talented worshipper...
