  • The Parable of Lost Son and Found Ewedu

    The Parable of Lost Son and Found Ewedu

    Welcome to day 15 of The Essence of Christmas’ Blogmas.

    I hope you have been enjoying all the delicious Nigerian soups we have been cooking since the beginning of this week and I hope you are taking the various lessons from each chapter of Luke as shared.

    Today’s lesson is based on forgiveness and looking out for those we haven’t seen for a long period.

    The Good Shepherd in vs 4 didn’t see one sheep, he went looking for him.

    He didn’t say there are other 99 perhaps fatty sheep.

    The life of each sheep is precious to him.

    Like that Shepherd, let’s look out for those that have been long we them to see in fellowship.

    Yes, there are 10, 000 other faithful brethren in the house but as those 10,000 sheep in the fold are precious to the shepherd so is the life of the one out there in sin, alcohol, immorality, depression, love of the world, lust, vain speaking, etc.

    By doing so we are making Heaven delighted (Vs 15:7)

    Right now, pick up your phone and make that call!

    Furthermore, we should FORGIVE as the father of the prodigal son did

    The prodigal son asking for his share of his father’s estate while the father is alive is saying, ‘dad, as I am concerned, you are dead), yet his father forgave him completely.

    Forgive your husband who cheated on you.

    Forgive that kid of yours who still chooses the wayward lifestyle despite all that you did for him.

    Forgive your parents.

    God forgave you, you should forgive too.

    Who knows, maybe the prodigal son was a Yoruba boy and missed daily Amala with Ewedu that is loaded with locust beans πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    You said, what’s Ewedu soup? Oya, let me teach you!

    Ewedu (jute) is a soup of Yoruba origin and it’s believed to help in managing diabetes and HBP as well as serve as an antibiotics in the body. Now, here are the ingredients needed:

    • Ewedu leaf (jute)
    • IrΓΊ (Locust bean)
    • Potash

    Here is how to prepare it:

    • Add the desired quantity of water and irΓΊ (locust beans) to the pot and put on the gas.
    • When it’s steaming, put your plucked Ewedu leaf plus a little potash into it.

    Note: do not cover.

    • Allow it to boil for 10 mins.
    • Put it back on fire, add salt and stir.
    • While still on hot, mildly blend.
    • Let it cook for 5 minutes.
    Amala with Ewedu
    Amala and Abula (Gbegiri+ Ewedu)

    There you have delatable Ewedu which you can add to stew to eat with Amala, αΊΈba, fufu, pounded yam, etc, or combine with Gbegiri and hot Amala which we discussed yesterday and enjoy what we call Abula.
    Licking tongue, already? Oya, go and try reaching out to forgotten Brethren, forgiveness, and Ewedu soup, and see the richness of all.

    Thanks for reading. Remember to like, share, subscribe, comment, and come back tomorrow for day 16.

  • How the Marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Rhoda AdΓ©soorΓ­re almost crashed after five years.

    How the Marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Rhoda AdΓ©soorΓ­re almost crashed after five years.

    You don’t love me anymore.

    Samuel AdΓ©soorΓ­re and Rhoda Adesola were lovebirds in school. Samuel was the school fellowship president while her fiance was the sister coordinator even though both of them are not from that denomination.

    Talk about grace, depth, leadership acumens and what have you.

    Their Relationship continues after schooling and this will end in a happy Christian home. In Christian slang, a kingdom Courtship moving to it permanent site of kingdom Marriage and their Relationship is godly – no sex and no yhdvdkccf πŸ™„πŸ™„

    Click here to download God doesn’t want you to be a virgin Ebook free of charge so that you too can be like them.

    The other reason being that the love is mutual and the submission is top-notch. Each can’t do without the other. Infact people in the neighborhood have started using them as example of what a godly courtship and marriage should be.

    You thought they are angels? Of course not for during their courtship stage, they have their shares of intending couples’ fights, malice, misunderstanding, battles yet all were weathered maturely.

    After NYSC, they decided to get marry owning to go-ahead from both parents, mentors and their pockets (both got where they are being paid what can afford them comfortability) and their wedding was lite.

    Everything done that was done as how a Christian couples and families ought to.

    Click here to see how a Christian weddings should go

    Five years after wedding, they are contemplating divorce but before they proceeded, as they have agreed before marriage that should chicken comes to roost, we will consult our pastor before the next action. πŸ€·πŸ€·πŸ€·πŸ™„

    Now, let’s see what transpired in the pastor’s office πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰

    ‘But why are you getting divorce. Bro Samuel, sister Rhoda, your marriage is an example to many in this church. What could have happened?’

    None answered.

    ‘Is there cases of adultery, domestic abuse, financial irresponsibility, undisclosed matters, inlaws problems or any?’

    Both nodded in negative.

    ‘Then what is happening, can somebody please tell me something’

    ‘He doesn’t love me anymore,’ said Rhoda. 😭😭😭

    ‘How can say that I don’t love you anymore.’ πŸ™„

    ‘Everybody knows that I do.’😰😰

    ‘I don’t love you but I just bought you car this last month.’ πŸ€”πŸ€”

    ‘I don’t love you but I stay in the kitchen with you.’ 😠😠

    ‘I don’t love you but I called you 3 times daily during working hours,’ he interrupted.😑😑😑

    ‘Daddy, please ask him when last did he said I love you to me.’ 😒😒

    ‘When last did he write a poem for me (like he used to do during our dating period).’😒😒

    ‘He has even stopped calling me romantic names since I gave birth to Junior,’ she fired back. πŸ™„πŸ˜°πŸ™„

    ‘But but…’ he retorted.πŸ™„πŸ™„

    And pastor bust into laughter 🀣🀣

    ‘Sir, I have my own to say oooi.’

    ‘Since the birth of our first kid, iya Junior has used him to replace me.’

    ‘Sex is non existent owning it up to some ministerial burden.’

    ‘Food is anyhow (and she knew I don’t eat outside) and he doesn’t even attend to my family properly,’ he accused.

    (Meanwhile, during this back and forth, pastor was listening with rapt attention).

    ‘Hmmm!’ pastor heaved a relief sigh and and said, ‘my brother and sister, I appreciate you for honouring me as your shepherd. First, you have minor issue but big misunderstanding about love and submission.

    ‘My brother, it is a known fact that you truly love your wife but Love means different stuff to different women. E.g., if you are observant you could have noticed that the finest and the largest part of our house was the kitchen. I purposely designed it so because my wife loves cooking and that most times, we don’t wear asoebi because she is non-PDA’

    ‘So my brother, love your wife as she wants not as you want, not as your mentor/pastor taught or as you read in books.’

    ‘As for you, my sister, I know you are a submissive wife and you too know, for a fact, that your husband loves you but be it known unto you today that a man measures submission by making him the the first person in his life. He hated replacement for he is a jealous being like his God. Two, he need sex, good food and his family respected. I repeated, 8/10 mens are jealous, want sex, food and his family cater for and it is only through those avenue that he felt that you loved him.’

    I hope you understand me, brother and sister.

    Both nodded in affirmation, called their lawyer to back off, prayed together in pastor’s office and live happily after.

    1. …love your wife as she wants not as you want, not as your mentor/pastor taught or as you read in books.’

    2. a man measures submission by making him the the first person in his life. He hated replacement for he is a jealous being like his God. Two, he need sex, good food and his family respected.

  • 20 Best and Inspiring Gifts for Pastors.

    20 Best and Inspiring Gifts for Pastors.

    Welcome to another day of Blogmas themed LOVE OF CHRIST. Like always, I say; thank you for being here and engaging.

    Today, I want us to talk about the most neglected set of people in the church – the pastors. Nobody seems to care about their welfare, their families, or their health because we guess they are superheroes. But they are not, Pastors are human like us with struggles, aspirations, yearnings and desires and they are worthy to be celebrated and appreciated.

    Why should I appreciate my pastor? After all, his/her salaries are being paid? You should celebrate him/her because God said so. Why? See below:

    Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in the word and doctrine. For the Scripture says, β€œYou shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, β€œThe labourer is worthy of his wages.”
    I Timothy 5:17‭-‬18 NKJV

    Who are the elders in your congregation? The first elder is your pastor(s). Why did God commanded it? Because they laboured over us in words and doctrine. The first honour is the salary, to double the honour, a gift won’t be a bad idea.

    Another Bible verse to affirm God’s Word concerning your MoG.

    If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.
    I Corinthians 9:11‭, ‬14 NKJV

    Can you tell me how best and thoughtful to spread the love of Christ if not through gifts to our servants of God?

    Having been cleared about gifts for our men of God, listed below are the best, inspiring, thoughtful, perfect, unique and gorgeous gifts for your pastors:

    • Raw Food materials e.g., yam, rice, beans, garri, banana, plantain, etc
    • Food basket to be delivered on Christmas day.
    • A small envelope containing a small amount of money.
    • Pay for pastorium cable TV for this Christmas time.
    • Live chicken
    • Six yards of Ankara
    • A leather journal/jotter
    • Bluetooth speaker
    • Journal Bible
    • Books
    • Video presentation (Get creative with a video presentation. Record yourself and others saying thank you and offering words of encouragement)
    • A box of Kulikuli (DM 08135446603 for Praise Curative Kulikuli)

    • Smartwatch/ wristwatches
    • Power bank
    • Planners
    • Travel bag
    • Photo frame of the family

    These and many other fantastic gifts are what you can get for your pastor, kids or spouse for the love of Christ.

    Finally, thank you for being here. I love you.

  • Off the Mic.

    Off the Mic.

    I remembered the story of Bro. John and how Pastor told the Media department to please off the mic on Bro John and mandated him to retake his discipleship classes.

    Bro John was (and I believed is still) aΒ  Christian. He is the sort of Christian that you can adequately label firebrand, devil binding, tongued, holy and no-nonsense Christian. Mere relating with bro. John, you will think he belongs to S.U class of old but lo and behold! he is a thoroughbred orthodox.

    Not all testimony is a testimony.

    You can never see Bro. J as we used to call in that day with a fellowship sister gisting or playing and even if you see him with one it is with Sis. Shikemi, her fiancee and they are either praying or studying the Bible.

    Do you think their Relationship is boring? You think so because you haven’t downloaded A Tearless Courtship and see that Christian courtship is not monotonous. Click to download.

    Furthermore, bro. J stands on purity is well-known. No hfhkenhystericus πŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺ till hfmgfdtsee πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„. Not even hftybffddtb. πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ.

    By my description of Bro. J, you think he was some wacko, out-of-reality, earthly useless kind of Christian. Far from it, he is the definition of what a Christian should be in school, church, neighbourhood, etc.

    To cut the long narrative short, John went to school. Graduated with flying colours. Secured a job. Married our dear sis. Shikemi and live happily after till one day, trouble sleeps, John goes and wakes him up!

    It happened that the pastor permitted Bro J to speak to engaged singles during the church singles’ retreat on purity in Relationships. As per se, he will have practical examples of how God helped them ( sister shikemi and him).

    On D-Day, it was now the turn of our speaker to chuck us with the word as Zibo Jnr ElabhaΒ  used to do in RCCF house then, Bro John, said in impeccable Queenueen Elizabeth English

    ‘lemme first thank our daddy in the Lord for this fantastic opportunity. I celebrate you, sir. And to my wife of inestimable value, I love you.’

    “Lemme start this teaching with a testimony. I don’t know what is wrong with you young people of nowadays. When I was single, a sister and I will sleep overnight and nothing will happen.”

    “What did you just say,” the pastor asked.

    “I say, when I was single, a sister and I can sleep overnight and nothing will happen and if a sister should naked herself in front of me, my body will not be moved,” he replied πŸ™†πŸ™†πŸ™†

    That was how our pastor told the media people to off the mic and asked him to re-enrol in discipleship classes because it seems he missed some lessons.

    Moral: not all testimony is a testimony. The ability to sleep overnight with the opposite sex who isn’t your blood is not a testimony, it’s a disgrace to your Christianity, misrepresentation of Christ and willfully tempting Satan.

    That nothing will happen when an opposite-sex strip naked in your presence is not a testimony. It’s rather a testament that you are still human and can fall and falter so take heed to your heart and mind.
