  • How somebody’s child can find you.

    How somebody’s child can find you.

    The new year is the season where there is so much fun in the air and it could be a perfect time for you to find another woman’s son to find you or to look for another man’s daughter for friendship and marital settlement in 2022.

    If you are game, primed and ready to roll then follow this guide to find or to be found (as the case may be):

    1. Open your social media DM.

    Who knows maybe your significant other has been waiting for you for two years. Love can happen anywhere, including your DM.

    Do you reply to every message in there? Absolutely no! Carefully select anyone with the sensible message while ignoring all ‘hello angles.’

    Click the link to read exciting stories of those who met their spouses in their DMs and timelines.

    2. Start sharing values on your social media page.

    Where there is a carcass, there the vultures gather.

    By starting to offer values on your social page, group, blog or weblink, you will eventually attract a crowd. Maybe your future spouse may come with the healing to your singleness in his/her wing. Who knows.

    Read the story of Ayosolas below.

    3. Be a commenter.

    First of all, make sure you comment your marital status and contact info in the comment section if you are ready to mingle and settle this year.

    Apart from commenting here, don’t just be a values sharer, be a value encourager by commenting, liking and sharing other value givers’ and content creators’ creative works.

    You can even tailor your comments to the person that you are developing feelings for provided the ‘feelee‘ values aligned with godly principles. I bet it with you, people can be known through what they read, write and say.

    Facebook posts are the written form of our thoughts, beliefs and ideologies.

    The caveat here, don’t just comment casually, comment intelligently and argue respectfully. Maybe the person that will find you is also a fellow commenter.

    Did you know why I hammered so much on your social media? Because it is the easiest means for baby boomers, millennials and Gen Zs to find love.

    4. Owambe is a goldmine.

    If you are seriously considering marriage this year or the year after, do not joke with parties and any avenues that put you amid opposite sexes.

    Such parties include wedding parties, burial parties, chieftaincy ceremony and various festivities.

    Even if you are not invited to one make sure you volunteer to attend one or look for one to attend in the neighbourhood. All that you need is boldness, a good phone to exchange contact, neat clothes preferably native wears and perf so that you can appear nice to your would-be suitors.

    You can’t attend five in a row without seeing love.

    5. Now, let’s go to church.

    If you have been skipping church before, this ain’t the best time to do so.

    This is the time to make church and churchy activities serious and be serious with them for life because there is joy in the presence of God.

    There are thousands of single men and women in the faith but they don’t go to clubhouses, you can only find them in the choir, youth meetings, camp meetings, church volunteer groups, etc., plus the fact that some of them are not active on social media and you know what, they are serving God sincerely.

    If you don’t marry from the church, where will you?

    6. Listen to recommendations.

    Like I said yesterday, somebody knows someone that he/she thinks can make a good spouse to you. If you got that opportunity please don’t belittle it. Check the recommended person out first.

    After all, there is nothing sinful about matchmaking.

    7. Prayer is the master key.

    Let’s sing this song:

    Prayer is the key,
    Prayer is the key,
    Prayer is the master key,
    Jesus started with prayer,
    And end it with prayer,
    Prayer is the master.

    The whole process of searching, looking and finding should start with prayer and continue in prayer.

    Why prayer? People can be wicked and fake what they are not. So you will need prayer to separate the chaff from the wheat.

    Praying means you are saying to God, ‘my father I can’t do this in my power but you can help me.’

    This, we are sure of, He never fails.

    Finally, do you want to settle down this year, drop your contact info in the comment section?

  • Somebody’s child will find you.

    Somebody’s child will find you.

    Let’s start with this true story of mine. It happened in November 2020.

    Her: Master Joel, do you like 🥰🥰🥰 lady.

    Me: Yes, I do, ma.

    Her: As in very ❤️❤️❤️?

    Me: I am sure I like them like that 😄😃

    That was a phone convo with a former colleague of mine recommending her very beautiful friend of hers for me for a relationship that can lead to marriage.

    For brevity sake, the recommended lady and I met and talked but relationship didn’t materialize between us.

    Seeing/finding my wife under mango tree is the best feeling in the world.

    This year also, a senior friend recommended another godly lady to me who eventually became my wife.

    What am I striking at?
    Somebody’s child will find you but do you know somebody child knows somebody’s child that should find but you are unfindable because of your attitudes.

    Somebody’s child has a good friend that can marry but he knows your stubbornness can kill another woman’s child.

    Somebody’s kid has a godly sister that can make a good wife but she knows that your eye no dey stay one place.

    Somebody’s pikin want to recommend one of his/her for you but they are afraid that you may rub their faces in the mud through your behaviors.

    Dear, somebody’s child had somebody’s daughter/son for you that he/she think may find you but are you findable?

  • Somebody’s child will love you.

    Somebody’s child will love you.

    Happy new year. May you have a good year.

    Did you trying finding love last year and it didn’t work or you intended that some love should find but the search didn’t materialize?

    My brother or sister, don’t panic. Read this story of mine and put your mine at rest.

    The story goes this: I remembered telling this story before on Facebook.


    The story of a girl who came to my workplace for Teaching Practice.


    The lady is a Christian, educated, skillful and both of us were 100% singularly single as at then.

    Infact, I have 9/10 assurance that if I asked her out, she will obliged.


    But I didn’t. Why? I just don’t feel towards her. I can’t just say what happened, I just know I don’t jelly toward her.

    Fortunately, my LOML has the same skill set as my wife – bag making among others thing that my own do like event management, catering, teen coaching, etc.

    Sorry for digressing.
    The lady I didn’t ‘love’ became someone’s wife last November.

    The lady I didn’t felt for is now somebody’s son heartbeat.

    The lady my heart wasn’t jelly towards today has found someone whose heart has melted for her.

    What I didn’t like, someone love it.

    Even I, was rejected by 17 ladies but I thank God that my wife was 10x better than all of them in all manners.

    That someone did not see the gold embedded in your soil didn’t and wouldn’t diminish the gold in you.


    Somebody’s kid definitely will mine you one day.

    A farmer sees crop to bring out of the soil while a geographer is thinking of bringing out precious stones from the same piece of land. None is wrong and none of them is right, training differs.

    Somebody’s son will love you.

    Somebody’s daughter will be your wife.

    Somebody’s kid will employ you

    Somebody’s siblings will help you.

    Somebody’s child will find you one day.

  • How to Celebrate Christ After Christmas.

    How to Celebrate Christ After Christmas.

    Welcome to last day of 20-day Blogmas (Blog + mass).

    Thanks for this journey of 20 days, likes, comments and the follows.

    Yesterday was Christmas but Christmas didn’t end yesterday, it is a daily lifestyle for Christmas.

    Why? Because Christmas is a celebration of the Anointed One ( Christo + mass) and it behooves us to relegate that to December 25th – once a year.

    For a non-christian, it starts and ends yesterday but for a blood-washed believers, it starts today and continues till eternity when we will behold His face and sees Him as He is.

    Now, how can celebrate Christ after Christmas i.e., how can we do Christmas after Christmas? There are many ways, but the most important ones are listed below:

    • See sin as worst disease than COVID-19
    • And flee from any appreance of evils
    • By living all your live for the glory of God as this is your highest worship
    • Be humble as the first Christmas signifies.
    • Remember the poor.
    • Fight for the powerless.
    • Speak for the voiceless.
    • Pray for a depressed soul.
    • Encourage a weary heart
    • Support a ministry.

    If you can do this and many more godly acts, you will be celebrating Christmas after Christmas.

    Once again, Merry Christmas and Happy New year in advance.

  • Climate Change.

    Climate Change.

    By now Joseph is already on the way home with his pregnant wife to register as citizens in his hometown – Bethlehem not knowing a King will be born the new day – during midnight which will cause a serious climatic change.

    With this, I am welcoming you to day 18 of 2021 Blogmas. Thanks for the follows and the likes.

    Now, the climatic change I am talking about is not the much-touted physical climatic change but a spiritual climatic change. I believed the former is overrated as if that is the only problem facing the earth and its inhabitants whereas the latter is grossly underrated.

    When Jesus was born, the climate of kingship and kingdom was eternally changed – from human finite kingship and kingdom to God’s infinite Kingship and kingdom.

    Similarly, When Jesus was born the climate of worship was changed.

    Before it is either angel are doing their own or we men are doing ours. No mixture between the angelic and the ‘humanic‘ but on that blessed day, an angelic choir joined a humble human shepherds’ choir to declare and proclaim God’s infinite wisdom.

    Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and peace on earth to people He favours! (Luke 2:13-14).

    Not just that the climatic of worship changed but climatic of religion also changed

    Before, to Isreal belongs the Torah, the temple and the scriptures but with the birth of His only begotten Son now to all of us belong as a temples of God, the Word Himself and the fulfilment of all Scripture.

    After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise men from the east arrived in Jerusalem, (Matthew 2:1).

    Conclusively, those changes aren’t the last spiritual changes that will occur but at the coming of our Lord, both spiritual and physical climatic change will occur.

    I will display wonders
    in the heavens and on the earth:
    blood, fire, and columns of smoke.The sun will be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood
    before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes( Joel 2: 30 – 31). For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the archangel’s voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. (1 Thessalonians 4:16)

    But are you ready for the greatest climatic change of all time?

    Then everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord will be saved,
    for there will be an escape
    for those on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
    as the Lord promised,
    among the survivors the Lord calls (Joel 2:32).

  • My Christmas Playlists.

    My Christmas Playlists.

    Christmas is around the round and it is usually with pomp and pagentry here.

    It is also usually celebrated with Carols organized by different churches, organizations and governments.

    Today, the 15th day of our 20 days Blogmas, I am welcoming you once again as we journey into what I will be listening to during this memorable Christmastime. They are just five of them and one of them is in Yoruba. Enjoy as you Google search these songs for your enjoyment.

    1. Odún nlo s’opin – Christ Apostolic Church Good Women Choir.

    Literally translated to mean the year is coming to an end.

    This song is so evergreen to us in the southwest of Nigeria to the extent that as if we have agreed that it should be played only in the latter part of the year especially ember months and once we hear it been played, we all agreed that Christmas is here.

    It is a song of praise and prayer and it is a 3-track album. Enjoy the refrain of the first track.

    Odún nlo s’opin ooo, Baba rere.

    Baba ma so mi tomotomo,

    Ohun ti oo pamilekun o o lodun titun,

    Maje ko ṣẹle Simi baba rere.

    Meaning: the year is coming to an end, good Father,

    Father, kept watch over me and my children,

    What will make me cry in new year,

    Don’t let it happen to me.

    2. Hallelujah – Dunsi Oyekan.

    This is a sensation worship leader right here from Nigeria. This song is a charge to always praise the Lord with a shout of hallelujah in all circumstances. This is first verse of the song

    Hallelujah, that’s what song will be,

    That’s what song will be,

    That’s what song will be.

    Even in the midst of pandemic and the now virulent omicron, our song is hallelujah!

    3. Wondeful worker – Nathaniel Bassey.

    No long sermon. Reflect on the first lyrics


    Summer, winter, autumn, spring,

    Mountains, blue skies and seas,

    Rainbow, sunshine and trees,

    Jesus maker of them all.

    4. What a Beautiful Name – Hillsong.

    Who doesn’t love Hillsong? I love them for their deep worship songs.

    What a wonderful name is the name of Jesus!

    What a powerful name it is!

    The name of Jesus Christ my King,

    What a beautiful name it is!

    Nothing compares to it,

    What a powerful name it is!

    Nothing compares it to,

    The name of Christ Jesus.

    5. Seasons – Hillsong.

    I believe my season will come.

    Share with me your 2021 Christmas Playlists.

  • Christmas in New Testament.

    Christmas in New Testament.

    Another beautiful moment is here.

    Before I dissect topic day 14, I will like to appreciate you all for the visits, likes and comments for the past 3 years of starting this blog.

    You are just wondeful!

    Now to today’s business.

    The script of Christmas drama was entirely written, directed and actors and actresses chosen entirely chosen and directed by God and God only.

    Last I said yesterday, old testament is the promise and the New Testament is culmination of events.

    I dare say all the verses of New Testament are Christmasitic because without the birth of Messiah, there can Gospel books, Acts and the epistels, even much celebrated Pauline epistels.

    If there was no Christmas, what will writers of New Testament write about?

    That’s settled,  enjoy the Noel with these biblical passages that talks about Christmas in the New Testament:

    1. Matthew 1: 1, 18, 21-23.

    An account of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham: The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: See, the virgin will become pregnant
    and give birth to a son,
    and they will name him Immanuel,
    which is translated “God is with us.”

    Did the above verses ring right back to confirm what was prophesied in the Old Testament?

    2. Matthew 2:1ff

    The fulfilment, confirmation, the agreement and the inclusion of the Gentiles.

    After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise men from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star at its rising and have come to worship him.” “In Bethlehem of Judea,” they told him, “because this is what was written by the prophet: And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
    are by no means least among the rulers of Judah:
    Because out of you will come a ruler
    who will shepherd my people Israel.” When they saw the star, they were overwhelmed with joy. Entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and falling to their knees, they worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. After they were gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Get up! Take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to search for the child to kill him.” So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night, and escaped to Egypt. He stayed there until Herod’s death, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled: Out of Egypt I called my Son.

    3. Luke 1:26 – 35.

    The first good news delivered to the medium God has chosen to use, Mary.

    In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel came to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you.” But she was deeply troubled by this statement, wondering what kind of greeting this could be. Then the angel told her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Now listen: You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end.” Mary asked the angel, “How can this be, since I have not had sexual relations with a man?” The angel replied to her: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.

    4. Luke 2:6 – 7.

    The first Christmas.

    While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. Then she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and she wrapped him tightly in cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

    5. Luke 2:8 – 12.

    The call of the first evangelists.

    In the same region, shepherds were staying out in the fields and keeping watch at night over their flock. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped tightly in cloth and lying in a manger.”

    6. Luke 2:13 – 14.

    The first Christmas Carol.

    Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and peace on earth to people he favors!

    7. Luke 2:15-16.

    Not disobedient to the heavenly vision

    When the angels had left them and returned to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go straight to Bethlehem and see what has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” They hurried off and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby who was lying in the manger.

    8. Luke 2:20 – 21.

    The sending forth for celebrating and proclaiming Christmas.

    The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had seen and heard, which were just as they had been told.After seeing them, they reported the message they were told about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

  • Christmas in Old Testament.

    Christmas in Old Testament.

    Good day, family, friends and followers.

    Thank you for the follows, comments and likes so far and welcome to 13th episode which is 13th day of 2021 Blogmas. I pray the the God of Christmas will endowed you with His unsurpassed glory.

    Most of us think Christmas is New Testament event but we haven’t realised the the story of Christmas was actually from old testament of the Bible – right from Genesis. What happened in new testament is the fulfilment of the promise of old.

    Having understand that assertion, the following passages backup the facts of Christmas in the old testament.

    1. Genesis 3:15.

    This verse accurately tell about the birth of Jesus.

    I will put hostility between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and her offspring.
    He will strike your head,
    and you will strike his heel.

    2. Deuteronomy 18:15


    “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him.

    Now, let’s see if there are similarities between Jesus and Moses.

    Moses fasted for 40 days, Jesus also did.

    Moses was hidden in the Egyptian palace, Jesus was also hidden in Egypt.

    Moses delivered Isrealites from physical bondages, Jesus delivered us from both spiritual, physical, mental and social bondages.

    Moses instituted the festival of Passover which involved slaughter of unblemished lamb, Jesus was the Lamb of God that took away all the sin of the world.

    Moses is the law, Jesus came to fulfil the law.

    Do you now agreed that Jesus is the prophesied Messiah?

    3. Ruth 4:18-22.

    God started writing the second chapter of Christmas in Old Testament here 👇👇

    Now these are the descendants of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron, Hezron of Ram, Ram of Amminadab,Amminadab of Nahshon, Nahshon of Salmon, Salmon of Boaz, Boaz of Obed, Obed of Jesse, and Jesse of David [the ancestor of Jesus Christ].(Amplified Bible).

    4. Psalm 2:7

    This is self explanatory.

    I will declare the Lord’s decree.
    He said to me, “You are my Son;
    today I have become your Father.

    4. Isaiah 9:6 – 7.

    The crescendo of Christmas.

    For a child will be born for us,
    a son will be given to us,
    and the government will be on his shoulders.
    He will be named
    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. The dominion will be vast,
    and its prosperity will never end.
    He will reign on the throne of David
    and over his kingdom,
    to establish and sustain it
    with justice and righteousness from now on and forever.
    The zeal of the Lord of Armies will accomplish this.

    5. Isaiah 53:4ff.

    The Old Testament talks about the purpose of Christmas here.

    Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,
    and he carried our pains;
    but we in turn regarded him stricken,
    struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced because of our rebellion,
    crushed because of our iniquities;
    punishment for our peace was on him,
    and we are healed by his wounds. He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
    but he was with a rich man at his death,
    because he had done no violence
    and had not spoken deceitfully. Yet the Lord was pleased to crush him severely.
    When you make him a guilt offering,
    he will see his seed, he will prolong his days,
    and by his hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished.
    Therefore I will give him the many as a portion,
    and he will receive the mighty as spoil,
    because he willingly submitted to death,
    and was counted among the rebels;
    yet he bore the sin of many
    and interceded for the rebels.

    6. Zechariah 2:10.

    The joy of Christmas right here.

    “Daughter Zion, shout for joy and be glad, for I am coming to dwell among you”—this is the Lord’s declaration.

    7. Zechariah 9:9.

    Hallelujah! Our King cometh!

    Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
    Shout in triumph, Daughter Jerusalem!
    Look, your King is coming to you;
    he is righteous and victorious,
    humble and riding on a donkey,
    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

    Dear, is there about Old Testament verse that you think convey the essence of Christmas? If yes, share with us.
