Romance in February.....
When i woke up yesterday, it was just another day in February, I read my Bible and said my morning prayers, prayed especially for my family, my naughty friends, my country nigeria and the other regular 'prayer points'. I was about to get up but I couldnt shake this nudging feeling like there were things i wasnt talking about. So i found myself hanging at my bed's edge for five more minutes in silence, struggling to verbalise words wedged in my throat.
The usual bail out was 'Lord i'm grateful because you know what I need and you'll give me the desires of my heart' but I wasnt getting away with it today, in fact, my devotional reading about defining our desires in prayer, Mark 10:51. Jesus asked the blind man what he wanted him to do for him. I mean it was painfully obvious what the guy desired but the man had to voice his desire in faith and he received his sight. My desires are so many!!!
Sometimes it frightens me to think that only me wants all the things that i do. I really want to stop world hunger. Dont get me wrong, I'm not giving a miss world speech but i must confess i'm terrorized by pictures of hungry children all around the world, especially in Africa. Just imagine how many kids would sleep with food tonight if we gave a cent/penny/kobo each.
That of course is the nobel part of my heart, there are obviously some less-than-noble parts, like the part that wants to buy an island, the part that wants to own a ranch....etc.
Okay, when i got tired of not speaking, I decided to be a sharp kid and run from confronting the spirit's gaze. Omo, little did i know...
First i got out of my room and my flatmate was so excited about this prospective guy she would be seeing during the week. "I'm so glad, good news!" Ok. I started rushing out to class, my phone rings, its my kid sis.
SIS: "O gal, guess who's in Naija?"
ME: "Who? Udini???"
SIS: "Your papi!"
ME: "What? I thought he said he'd be in the states...."
SIS: "Apparently he wanted to surprise his wife"
Another 10 minutes i was off the phone and biffing them like mad. Omo, see this old people that should spend their time wondering about me, they are planning valentines'. can you imagine? Aren't they too old for that?? Me dey find valentine's runs...at that very moment, na im the spirit nudge me say 'aunty, na you no ask o!'
I dey ask o! Infact, i over ask like simon peter.
And the word is simply this..."Ask and ye shall receive...Seek and ye shall find, Knock and the door will be open unto you, for whoever asks receives, whoever seeks finds, and to however knocks the door shall be open...
Have a fabulous week!!!!!
