Rekindle

One thing I've noticed in life which is cool is how we have is the ability to rekindle or recreate most things we once had, we get to reignite things, when things damage or lose their value, most of the time, something can be done, sometimes it's either you just don't have the capability(money wise) or you didn't know you could.

For example, when you don't feel creative or you don't feel like you have so many ideas, you can read books, check posts of creative people, like magic, you start feeling more creative, it's that simple. If you don't see a reason to love on your friends or family like before, you can remind yourself why you liked them in the first place, check your fun chats, call them to gist, remember memories, you feel that spark again. love can be rekindled, creativity can be rekindled, even fire can be rekindled.

If you feel you don't see the beauty in God like you once did when you started your journey, you just need to gaze some more at him. It can also be rekindled, remember what made you fall in love with Him in the first place, it never left, it's you who doesn't see it anymore. Maybe you got carried away with things, check.

If you notice the waning interest, do something about it. Being with God never loses its beauty, it's you who doesn't see the beauty as you should anymore.

Have you ever had a material thing, then you gave it to someone and the person made it look better than it ever was with you? The object didn't get ugly or useless, you just thought it was, you could have tried different things to make it look good again but you didn't and you rather forfeited it.

Read books on the love of God, listen to sermons, remind yourself with the bible how much God loves you, communicate with Him. You can know this in your head and not in your heart because you haven't pondered on it enough. You can remind yourself daily what drew you in the first place, surround yourself with people who have the same passion for him as you did.

You can always go back to how you were, when the devil tries to make you lose guard you don't stay in that spot, immediately you realize it, you move. It's not a crime for you not to always feel like your relationship with God isn't as "spiced" as it was, but you can always do something about it.

Apostle Paul said "That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you..." (2 Timothy 1:6 AMPC)

A familiar feeling (2)

... After 6 months I almost got caught again, I knew I couldn't escape what was coming at me next, I barely escaped from the police officers, I was running out of luck, what if my life had ended with a gunshot on the streets, would that be all? I cried so much that night in my room, I had moved out from my friend's place and rented a room, I had stolen enough to cater for the rent. I cried so much with no one to disturb me, I came to a harsh realization that I couldn't live like this any longer. A crazy idea found its way to my mind, your parents will take you back if you try I didn't know where that came from but I started to think it through. How would they take me back without any hesitation or disappointment? I thought about it for two days before I made up my mind to give it a try "It won't kill me to try" I said to myself. The next day, I boarded a motorcycle to Agege, where our house was situated, I wore a black gown, I tried to look as miserable a

My identity(poem)

When the stars come out, I remember God's promise to Abraham When I see tap water gushing out, I also remember the rivers of living water that flows out of me When I see a bride's veil, I remember how there's no more veil separating me from Jesus When I hear rain sounds, it makes me remember the storm Jesus conquered And I know in this I would also find peace My reality found in Christ is worth more than gold The promises He made to me spirit and life So much to treasure Worth more than gold

"What saved me"(part 3)

 After dinner, we stayed in the parlor and talked about school life, we talked for over 3 hours, during that period, we talked about what the future would hold for each of us and he said something that never left me.  "I might be perplexed on every side but never crushed". It sounded so strange but nice, I wondered if Shakespeare had a new book I never heard about. I asked him what he meant by that "Oh, it's just a boast I make in Christ" he laughed "Why and how do you do that?" "I have the authority too, I make boasts in Christ Jesus. "Wait, for what I was confused. "How would you boast in someone you are supposed to be afraid of, Kunle?" "We are not supposed to be scared but be joyous always because God is not out to get us but has shown us his lavish grace" "And how does he show his 'lavish grace?" I shot back "His grace is lavish, chill, I'll show you but his primary way was sending his son to di
