THE SECRET OF UNDERSTANDING

"The Secret of Understanding"

I sat on the toilet seat for minutes doing nothing
I stared at my report sheet again
"A C grade in five subjects , D in two subjects and a B in one subject
I'm not traveling with my family this summer" I muttered in tears
I'm going to be here in Nigeria studying when my mates are having fun
I guess I'll have to show them this 'evil' report again
*Maybe I'm destined to be an average student*
I rinsed my face with water so know one will know I was crying
I walked into the class
Phileo was the only one in the class
Phileo was an extraordinary student. He had always been the admiration of the whole school.
Our eyes met.
"Hi , Favour" he said
"Phileo , Hi" I replied
"Phil , can I ask you a question?" I asked 
"Yes . Sure" he replied
"How come you're so different from everyone in class?"
He smiled
"I know we are not close but just tell me. I really need to know how you read , the time and everything"
"It's a secret" he said
"I guess I'll always be an average student then and a failure too because someone refused to tell me the secret to his outstanding success" I pouted and I walked away
He chuckled
"I'll tell you" he said
"Okay . I'm listening" I replied
I got a pen and a book
Phileo is a nerd so I knew there might be a need to write
He smiled
*why is he smiling?*
"What's the secret?" I asked looking as serious as I could
"It's a who ,actually" he smiled
"Oh! You have a mentor or something"
"It's the Holy Spirit"he said
"Huh?" I muttered
"I'm serious" he giggled
"If you're conscious of His glorious presence , He makes you stand out . He makes the difference in you" he added 
"How?" I queried
"The Holy Spirit is the secret of understanding. He helps you understand the Word of God and also all things and your light will so shine to the evidence of the whole world"
"Are you born again?" he asked me
"Yes , I am"
"Then why haven't you received the Holy Spirit"
"Is the Holy Spirit not for just pastors and ministers?" I asked looking confused
"Well , no. There's no such thing as 'pastor Holy Ghost '. The same Holy Spirit at work in pastors is at work in me"
I gasped
"I didn't know and that's amazing"
We talked about the Holy Spirit for an hour
I spoke in tongues too
"So how do you feel now?" He asked as we left the class
"I can't describe it. Awesome is an understatement" I yelled happily
"Glory to God" he replied and I nodded
"If you can make it , it's a summer camp for teenagers" he said then he gave me a flier
"I won't miss it" I told him
"I'm going to tell people about the Holy Spirit" I said to him
"you should" he replied
Receiving the Holy Spirit isn't optional for any child of God. The Holy Spirit is the power of God. He is Jesus unlimited.
There is no baby Holy Ghost.

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT TO YOU BY GEJUMI

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT TO YOU? Emmanuel and Bisola were having this heated argument about the Holy Spirit one day, to me it was not an argument about the understanding of the Holy Spirit but a petty squabble about who was more biblically knowledgeable about our friend, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can be whom you want him to be to you. Let’s see this verse, Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV 13. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,   14. Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.   As soon as you received the life of Christ, after believing in God’s enormous love for you, God gave you an inheritance that you should hold dear, which is the Holy Spirit. He should be your priced possession and that one person you can’t do without. Do not get into arguments with people about the ori

The pretty girl syndrome (Alyssa) "Alyssa? Who bears Alyssa? Even my name isn't pretty." she whined. She took her phone, opened the Snapchat app, and tried using different filters. None of them seemed perfect. She flinched when she saw her face without filters. Sunlight, ring lights , torch lights... she badly wanted a perfect 'sun kissed' picture. No filter effect ever gave her satisfaction. "Why am I so ugly?" "You're beautiful." the Holy Spirit told her "I'm wonderfully and fearfully made? I know those things, Lord. Let's be real here, look at these Instagram brand influencers. Look at the children of these rich men. See their perfect skin. No flaws... fair and bright skin. The ones that are dark in complexion still have a shine to their color. I'm just bleh and nowhere near perfect." she ranted She opened the Instagram app, scrolling through her feed for a girl. She has gotten four thousand likes o

The Church Girl "God is Love" "Gift. Gift" I called "Gift...Gift...Where are you?"  "Gift" I called softly when I found her. "Yes , S...Sa...Sa...Salma" she stammered She looked different. I stuttered also and she turned. "Don't leave" I said to her "I want to open the door. I'm not running away" she said I heaved a sigh of relief. "What would you like to eat?" She asked me "Nothing. I'm fine. Thank you" "Oh great. So you're scared to take food from here?" "Why would you even say that? I came to see you." "Yeah.After hearing all that happened to me. You finally decided to confirm it to mock me. It's fine. You can go ahead. I get it every time."  "What are you even saying, Gift. I went to the place you stayed at and I was told you stay here now. Someone brought me here. I asked what happened and no one offered to tell me. They insis
