Count on Him

In the parable of the lost sheep, asides from seeing someone who cared about just one sheep and left the 99 others to find it, It depicts a very intentional man, who is even able to know when 1 out of 100 sheep went missing, it's very much possible that the sheep are identical, this means he must have counted them frequently to know if there was one missing, it's not an easy task to count a 100 sheep but he valued each of his sheep and made sure he would know if any one of them went astray. (Matt 18:12-14)

The lost sheep parable was to represent how God cares about a lost soul and will rejoice when that soul is found. Because he is a very intentional God.

You might think God isn't trying to find you but he is, it's probably you who thinks you're not a big deal to God, He has done the best thing he could to draw you back to him, by sending his Son to die for your sins which separated you from Him in the first place, so that you can be found, no sin can make you wander off anymore; feeling condemned, because once you believe in Jesus' death and resurrection, you receive the Holy Spirit and become a part of Him. 

God wants every man saved(1tim 2:4), He can only find you when you're receptive to his love.

God isn't waiting to scold you but he keeps on looking out for you, he sends his words to you through people to show you where you're missing it and how he wants you back, he keeps on running after you because once you're His, that's final. He loves you and will rejoice over you greatly when you believe in Him and get saved. He gave up his son just so you can be found. 


And to you who God has given his sheep to watch over, make sure you keep every one of them in check, if God takes each one of them seriously, so should you. (Jn 21:17)

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
