Is the Holy Spirit your comforter?

-



Several times I've been down,
I feel alone so many times. I've faced situations that made me question if it was all worth it. I mean, all this faith in God, does it pay? 

But this writeup came from a place of devotion. A place of surrender. The bible records that when David was down and didn't know what to do, he encouraged himself in the Lord. He didn't mourn or whine, he just went straight to God. I like to think this involves allowing the Holy Spirit comfort you. Jesus said He would send us a comforter, the Holy Spirit, but do you let him comfort you? Do you allow him help you with it? All of it?

I laid down on my bed, paused for a moment and just didn't think. I didn't let the thoughts come, I simply rest my mind, gave room for peace. And slowly, the Holy Spirit moved, scripture by scripture, reminding me of His promises to me. I played some songs, and this encounter stresses how important having spirit filled music as a believer is. It was one heck of a night. But, lovingly, God answered my prayer. So I pray again, that if I ever doubt God's love for me; his ability to do anything to save me, then God should kindly take me down memory lane. It is worth it.

This writeup was also inspired from an old tweet from @niacerssie You never can tell when that word will help you. Fill your mind with words of life. 

-Sending love and light your way.

WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE MY FAILURE. 1.

"You don't have to be successful to blog,  you can blog about your failures " -Tolu Ogunlesi.  I went to a good secondary school. Thinking about it now,  one of the best in Nigeria.  The environment was beautiful and the staff put their best into everything they did. This is why,  I wonder why I even have to write this blog post.  I was not the bad academically, being very well above average.  But,  I had one problem;  the one that took the devil 7 days and 7 nights to gather its ingredients, 11 to study it's recipe and 29 more to cook it;  Mathematics.  This has to be the worst subject in the whole world.  I don't remember having problems with Maths until I got to  SS1(Year 10) and got an F9 in the first term examination. I was surprised, I knew I did not like the subject but I did not expect to fail so woefully in it.  I just could not comprehend it.  My mother was worried,  she immediately offered...

I'm sorry, Dentist.

I used to have a dental problem back in high school. I went to the dentist, and he gave me a couple of medications and instructed that I use salt and warm water solution to rinse my mouth everyday for a week at least 6 times.   The pain was much and I realized that after using the solution, I felt some relief.  So, I used this solution quite often, perhaps even more than 6 times. The pain reduced till it finally seized on the third day,  so I ignored the doctor's advice of using the solution for a week. The pain returned sometime before my convocation ceremony. Of course, I went to the dentist again.  After medications, he recommended that I use the salt and warm water solution again. In pain, I used it religiously for 3 days,  but on the fourth day, I stopped since I had relief. Before going to bed some days after,  I was brushing my teeth and the Holy Spirit said to me ‘You this girl,  you've stopped using the solution again’. Honestl...

How do I treat someone who hurt me?

It was 6am. Her alarm rang. My eyes opened, though it clearly was shut. She has her own room, why is she here? A quick flashback; oh, her fan spoilt. She can't afford to sleep in that heat,  so, she came to mine. She gets up; I wonder how she could tell I was awake, because  she whispered 'Yimi, I'm going to my room. Come lock the door'. Sleepily, I got up. As she stepped out, I twisted the knob but, on my way back to my bed, I noticed something. There was a mattress on the floor, and instead of my roommate sleeping on her bed, there was another girl. The one who just left got up from the mattress on the floor, but my roommate was still sleeping on the mattress.   Again, another flashback. I remembered I slept with the friend on the bed sleeping on my roommate's bed. The roommate asked me before I travelled into the land of dreams if it was okay to wake her up so she could go to her room. With my roommate on the floor, she sure did not. I assumed the matt...
