WITH JOY WE DRAW FROM THE WELL!




There's a part of minister Dunsin's song that says, 'with joy we draw from the wells of salvation.'

It's like that part of the song is truly making sense to me now. Clarity is really forming. It's taking shape. 

When I got posted to Ikare Akoko camp for my 21 days orientation, I was truly happy because Ondo state is such a peaceful state and I felt like I had finally arrived. 

Realization set in when I was posted to one of the biggest secondary school in Okitipupa as at 2018. It was all fun and love until I met the school directors (they doubled as the owners). 

These people were not only extreme with dictatorship, the wife was a taskmaster. 

She opted that all corpers must be in corporate wears from Mon -Fri. 

All corpers will close by 6pm. 

By virtue of my qualifications, I was given English to teach but she added extra 5!

There's a boarding house for boarders, so a male corper and I will double as house master and house mistress. That means we won't be able to 'breath'. 

The male corper would work as an assistant because there's an housemaster but I was going to work as a fresh house mistress because they were yet to have one. 

Did you see the workloads, too? All for 5,000 o!

She mentioned that she was doing all these because some group of corp members left her school about 8yrs (before then) without completing their service year. So she was ready to use that hurt and aggression on me and the other corpers. 

See life!




It was that bad that I told her to reject me. 

That was where the battle began. She started to frustrate me. She wrote so many petitions against me. She manipulated the LI and got him to her side. 

I bless God for the CLO and other corp members who saw the truth. 

At a point, I was fighting the battle alone because the other corpers couldn't keep up. They feared her threats and began to back off from fighting the cause. 

To shorten the whole story, I was well favoured at the end of the day. 

I got a peaceful job with greater personal time and higher pay. 

Outside of the job afforded me the opportunity to engage in a teaching that pays me on the side. 

Me that was always relegated at the office because of her influence, I became the one who was chauffeured around to choose where I would want to work in Okitipupa town. 


All of these happened because God stepped into my case and turned the whole story to glory. 

But the point I am about to make is that, is that through it all, I only cried once and it was deep silent tears. The type that would attract God's grace and mercy.

After that I shook off the feeling of despondency and began to find peace. 

There's a level you'll get to and you'll just be smiling in the midst of war. 

You will look left and right and you will see unrest and chaos.

But when you look inward, you will search yourself and see JOY. 

If and when you see that JOY, please grab a fetcher and draw it. 

It is with that joy we draw from the Wells of salvation. 

Just find Joy and you'll find everything.

PETALS OF THE RAINBOW

AN ALERT OF 700 DOLLARS ON A SUNDAY MORNING

Image
An alert of 700 USD on Sunday morning!  I became numb for about 5minutes after seeing the notification at around 3:00am on my phone. Who could have sent this to me, now? I didn't do any foreign transaction in the past week, so I wasn't even expecting a top up in my domiciliary account.  My husband could tell that I was tossing on the bed because I couldn't really sleep. Because in my head, I was doing all sort of permutations and calculations for the money!😂  Lo and behold, when my eyes had cleared properly by dawn next morning, it turned out to be that it was the same message box that my bank was using to send me transaction details. I mean it is the same message box for my naira and USD account. 😂  UBA got me there. 😂 But what was I thinking? Apparently, I was carried away and drowsiness didn't even help matters. This greatly reminds me of today's message on FAITH. It is okay to expect a miracle from God. But how do you fold your hands, sit and expe...

I HAPPILY ACCEPT EGOISTIC MEN!

Image
  Hello? Can you see that? Yes/No. If need be. Please adjust and re-adjust your glasses And yes, I am screaming this with an unapologetic effect I ..................... Happily Accept The Egoistic  ....................men.                                     Relax! I will make you see the reasons. A message flashed into my inbox from a young man, few days ago. I had wanted to ignore his first two greetings as a result of his language style, but I had to give him the benefit of doubt. Not too long, we had series of conversations beyond that. And just within the first few days, when I would have thought we should progress by an inch closer to being platonic friends. His contact was deleted from my HATE list. Yes, you got that right. And why would I ever do that in the first instance? He wasn't meant to be enlisted in the first place and I gave him reasons. Seeing that I was too peculiar abo...

How to survive in a demonic environment. (Three Powerful ways.)

Image
  I want to share Three Powerful ways by which you can survive in a demonic environment/territory.  I was discussing with my husband about some strange things that I started to notice around our apartment during the day. During those times, he's usually not around. He would always be at work. One one of those times, the strange presence came visiting and my children happened to see it first.  As soon as they started pointing at a weird thing, I braced up in my spirit and continued what I was doing.  If you happen to live in one currently, kindly walk with me.  I was at the kitchen doing the dishes when I got goosebumps and instantly I started to chuckle.  From chuckling, I began to laugh.  I laugh so hard that I had to leave the dishes in the kitchen and go to the sitting room There, I sat and laughed, looking into space and through the eyes of the spirit, I confronted what was.  As soon as that episode was over, I didn't even understand all I jus...
