TUMELESS GOD: SPECIALIST IN IMPOSSIBILITIES

"Oh God, make my impact on my generation be far greater than the capacity that is within me."

This was a prayer topic in church yesterday with the anchor verse taken from
Psalm 71:18 KJV
"Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come."

Old age is a time where one is perceived to be frail, having little or strength at all to keep up with the hustle and bustle that is life, a time to retire and rest let the young ones take over.
And the sighting of gray hairs serves as a vivid reminder that old age is upon us, a thing some people dread.
Nobody expects am old man to do much.

But here was the Psalmist pleading with God to use him, even in his old age, to impact his generation and the ones after him.
How enthralling!

If God could use an old man, why can't he use you ?
My fav song when I'm faced with challenges that try to limit God in my life...
'I have no doubt my God can do the impossible.
I know he can; I've seen him do it.
He can turn the mess you're in to an awesome miracle.
I know he can; I've seen him do it.
Whatever problem you've got,
If you just give it to God, he'll work it out.
How do I know?
I've seen him do it.'

Impossible is nothing with God.

Remain blessed.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Did I ever tell you guys about that one time in the university when a roach flew into my ear while I was sleeping?

Haay Fadalaud!
I was freaking out big time, having done all I could to coax/lure/scare the offending insect out of my lughole.
 Crying hysterically (yes I'm a big cry baby, sue me), I phoned a friend. At 3:30am.
Never mind that I had two block mates who lived just next door I could literally hear them breathing, the only person that came to mind was someone who lived one hour away.

Looking back now it's clear to me why I made that call.
I needed someone I knew could calm me down no matter how hysterical I was. Someone I knew would drop everything and come running if ever I was in trouble.

Same friend was my support system when I was in chronic pain from a herniated disc. Went with me to every doctor's appointment, did all my heavy lifting, prayed with/for me and scolded me severely whenever I neglected to wear my neck brace.

We all (should) have that one person in our lives who we can always count on to be there for us.
That friend who would go to war for us and ask questions later. That friend who will call you out on your bullshit. That friend who 110% believes in you. That friend with whom we can totally be ourselves, who understands the things you're not saying.
Heck you may not speak with each other so often  and they probably live a thousand miles away, but when you reconnect it's like no time has passed at all.

If you don't have that type of friend then you should definitely consider being that type of friend.

Let's be honest, friend that has not seen the doctor extract a roach out of your ear before, is that one friend?

CORRUPTION BEGINS WITH ME

On today's episode of "Let's call a spade a spade..."

Corruption begins with me.
Yes you.

I'd never understand those people that lied to their parents about school fees money. Those ones that inflated the prices of their textbooks so that they could get extra "spending money" from their parents.

If you can willfully and intentionally defraud your own parents of money, who is to say you won't/can't do the same to the good people of Nigeria?

Budget padders in training.

Look inward my friend, corruption begins with you.
