Inspired by the Holy Spirit ❤️ Love Letters 💌-Part Three (To all the spiritual friends I love. P.S I love you) Sophia's point of view I walked through the hallway. I love the way I looked in my white gown and sneakers.  Who says Christians can't rock dresses? My air-pod played "perfection" by Moses Bliss. "Mood" I yelled It was just 6:45am. I went to school early because I needed to place the gifts on the desks of my classmates. They were cookies and they each had a Bible verse card attached to it. I placed the twentieth one then I heard the Holy Spirit say, "Why not place them in their lockers?" I found bars of chocolates in everyone's locker including mine. I smiled. I went to the Library to pray for few minutes before school activities started. It was a lecture free day because of the party we had. I sat on the chair and placed my head on the table when I was done praying then I opened my worship playlist and I sang along till I...

Inspired by the Holy Spirit ❤️ Love Letters 💌 - Part Two (Letter from God) God is a Spirit and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in truth and in Spirit . "Lift up your hands and simply say, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, I open my heart now, and I receive the Holy Spirit then by faith, receive as simply as you received Christ. While thanking Him, you may even now be filled with the Spirit, speaking with tongues and prophesying. " I said. I heard several people speaking in tongues and it made me glad. I was in tears. "As I've called you, do not run away from the work." God told me. "I'll do this work, Lord. I will. I'm excited. No more running away" I cried. I got a conviction from the word of God. The Gospel has been committed to my trust. I'm a minister- a minister of reconciliation. "Take my gospel to the whole world." The Lord sang. "Abba, I'm ready." I announced. "See visions.” I said t...

Inspired by the Holy Spirit ❤️ Love Letters 💌 -Part 1  (Dear God)  Dear God,  “I love to call you Abba.Ever told you I cherish your voice? I actually really do because it calms, comforts and enables.  I love it when you call my name in a light whisper, 'Sophia dear' you say. Oh! How I truly love you. Can I call you Mine? I'd totally wish to... I guess I can. Cheers to now, ALWAYS and FOREVER Your Special Daughter, Sophia” I read out loud as I laid on my bed. My leg was on the wall and I placed my letter to God beside me. I covered my face with my journal as I glimmered in excitement.  "Abba, I really love this school. I love it here. Amber is saved, everything is well. I found a prayer partner and friends that love me just as much as I love them. It's really nice." I said.  God laughed. "Abba, what do you want for valentine's day?" I probed. "Fourteen souls." God replied instantly. "Fourteen? Yes sir!" I responde...

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 Gospel (Preparation) I sat on one of the chairs under the canopy. I moved my body at intervals as I listened to 'Big God' by CSO.  I knew the security personnels at the bank would not call my name anytime soon. "Why did I come to this bank this late?. Number two hundred and thirty nine" I thought "More time to fellowship with my sweet Lord" I laughed A girl sat beside me. She was pretty. She wore a top and skirt. The skirt was long and it reached her ankle. She looked like the perfect definition of 'mary-amaka'. Her hair was made with 'black-rubber'.  The song on my playlist changed to Lit Remix by CSO and NOS. "Okay. I'm so ready for this" I said in my head I sang out. I was probably so loud and I didn't really care because I was happy. My birthday is in few days and the Lord asked me to raise two soldiers. The pretty girl touched me. "Hello" she said immediately I removed my headset "Hi dear...

CHRISTIAN ? ( WHO ARE YOU) I walked into my class and I took a quick look at a lot of people. Some were playing and some were reading. I had just finished my last secondary school examination. I stared fixedly at a girl , she was giving out tickets. "Here's a ticket to the biggest sign out party. Get yours now"  she yelled About twenty people got from her.  I smiled and I walked out of the class.  I went to my school's garden and I prayed. "Thank YOU God" I said when I was done praying "Hey , Sophia" Someone greeted me "Hello. How are you , Christianah?" "I'm fine. So , I hope you'll be around for the party today. Have you gotten your ticket? " she said "No dear" I said "Why?. It will be fun. There won't be any alcoholic drinks. I guess. It is teen friendly" she said really fast "My Boss doesn't want me to go" I said "Oh but why would your boss do that?" "Tiana, who ar...

" CHOICES " "Hi Sophia " David called I was in the Church's library arranging the books people returned "Oh! Hi David' I said without enthusiasm "You look beautiful today" he complimented I blushed "Thanks" I replied "So...Did you enjoy today's service?" He asked after few seconds of silence "Definitely. I always enjoy service" He beamed. "You look like you want to tell me something" I said "Uhm..yeah" he said scratching his head "Are you nervous?" I laughed "Definitely not" he said raising his shoulders demonstrating he had ego  And I laughed  "Sophie , did you think about what I told you last week?" He asked I knew what he wanted but I just wanted him to say it "My name is Sophia" I pouted "I like calling you Sophie" he grinned "Okay. Sophie.." he said "...yah" he added "I'm still thinking about it" "...

The Testimony of Jesus He bore the pains He saw me, ...He saw you Reaching out to the lost souls with fervor; Burning for the Lord On the way to calvary, He bore the grief Yet again, He saw me: He saw you Invading cities with flames of fire Drunk in the Holy Ghost He smiled with such assurance of affection Whispering in pain that He said He had to do this Not My will but Yours', Lord Just for me: Just for you And He died He died that we may have Life He abolished death Fought and won the devil I overcame..Because of Jesus It is finished; a glorious everlasting relief Eternal life!

Mellow Just take it slow, it’s not that difficult  It is apt that you mellow, it’s not that important  Smile and show those stunning dentition Walk with me through and you’ll see it’s tantamount to nothing  Let those waves wipe off your trepidation  Give in to peace to define your being,  Let it flow through your veins  Do you mind we sit and understand the mist of antiquities?  My duty it is to let you know you’re not alone  The burden you bear is not for you to condone  I repeat that it’s apt that you mellow  Inhale to the deepest you can go to release your fears and sorrow  Are you calm? Did that feel right? Are you still tight? Did you see the light?  Shall I proceed? I’m gay that you think it’s funny  Don’t frown, don’t recede; I just don’t want your stress to cloud your sight  Remember to inhale deeply when you lose sight  I repeat; It’s apt that you mellow ©️Gejumi2020

Tell Jesus( The Solution) I heard incessant laughter and jeers from my classmates as the teacher spoke. It was Mathematics class I'm don't like the subject but I have never failed it. I never had higher than a B Grade though I want this term to be completely different. I'm working on having an A I tried to concentrate but I couldn't My classmates kept playing They didn't pay much attention to the teacher. I kept struggling and trying to keep up. My own was in my mouth as I stared at the board. The door flew open. I raised my head to look at who it was It was Annie "Why is she always late?" someone whispered but it was audible "She doesn't even look neat" "I wonder why she dresses like this" People kept saying different things I looked at Mrs. Robinson. She wanted to scold Annie but she couldn't do anything. I felt she couldn't find the right words to use at that moment. She warned her several t...

Prologue 'Oluwadamilola's pov' "Doctor Adewale, there's an emergency" Nurse Stephanie announced immediately she entered the staff room for residents I took my stethoscope and left the staff room immediately "What happened?" I asked when I entered the emergency room "Someone brought him here. He said he had a motor bike accident and he collapsed" "Hey, draw the blood" I instructed pointing to an intern "Blood pressure of 70, pulse is 110 and breathing is 35 faster than normal" Nurse Stacy said "How much saline was he given" I asked "2 litres of saline and 15 of oxygen" Nurse stacy replied me "Start with cardiac enzyme test and chest x-ray" I told nurse Stephanie "Attach the foley" I instructed another intern I left the ER then decided to go to the reception of the emergency department  "Please reach a friend or relative of the patient" I told the receptionist ...

Chronicles of Entanglements (My View) Sometimes , we fall in love Or let me say we get tangled with feelings and emotional brouhaha It feels like that's the one The 'Mr or Mrs Right' or 'Final bus stop' Then they see their future together Their brain is in love and the heart also But it stops being real after a while One person sees the reality The other thinks the chemistry never existed Talks of relationships based on electrovalent bonds and alike becomes real to them Going back to previous chats then brings pain instead of good memories Conversations are forced One person regrets or both end up regretting Inseparable people turn to strangers Friends become enemies Numerous people rooting for you begin to think  'I knew it was going to happen' The future once seen together become blur and finally erased Memories... Forgotten Tears are shed Some are held back from dropping Pain becomes unbearable One moves on...One is hanging on One doesn't care...One s...

(YOU HAVE A PURPOSE) My teacher , Mr. Kessington sat on the table in front of the class and smiled "I'm glad everyone did their holiday project and it's nice to see everyone this new term" he said "It's nice to see you too sir" my classmates chorused I didn't say anything.
