I Sam. 30
That has been our text since the year started. At Dominion Faith World Outreach (that would be my church), our theme this year is that we will "... Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them , and shalt without fail recover all" (vs. 8 of the text)
Today being the last Sunday, Pastor finished teaching the whole chapter; we treated from vv 26-31, and seriously, I just had to share. I should probably summarise the whole chapter... right? K, here we go...
David and his men had gone out of Ziklag (their current resident city) to some place, possibly to do things great men in the Bible do, like fight at war etc. By the time they got back, the Amalekites had raided Ziklag, burned it to the ground and taken the wives and kids; bad bad thing to do! The men's heart were broken! They wept! Dudes these days hardly cry; they should see examples in David and his men - it's okay to break down and weep once in a while!
Back to the story, David consulted his priest and asked if he should pursue the Amalekites, of course God gave him the go-ahead to pursue, cos he'd overtake and without fail recover all! And that was exactly what happened!
Today's point: SPOILS
SPOILS in this particular verse (and usually generally in the Bible) refers to plunder or goods that were taken!
After David overtook, he recovered all his possessions, his 2 wives - Jezreelitess (I like that name) and Ahinoam, his kids and those of his men; he slayed all the cruel Amalekites that raided Ziklag AND he still got to take spoils! These were goods, and things of the Amalekites. Talk about being several folds richer overnight!
Now, David was not a stingy man. Out of the spoils, he sent gifts to the elders in 14 cities WHERE HE KNEW HE WAS STILL GOING TO PASS THROUGH! He sowed into those cities.
My Pastor said there are 3 levels of Sowing:
1. You can sow back to where you're coming from
2. You can sow into where you are
3. You can also sow to where you are going, which happens to be the most important type of sowing. Why? David sowed into those cities because he knew he was still going to pass through them on the way to wherever he was going to; and his seed worked for him. All those that didn't want him to get into Judah (one of the cities he sent gifts of his spoils to) died. The seed cleared the obstacle.
So, we come to the big questions:
1. DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF THE KIND OF FUTURE YOU WANT?
2. ARE YOU SOWING INTO YOUR FUTURE?
Is there a marriage you really envy, and wish to have that kinda bliss when you eventually get married, then sow into that marriage! Buy their kid a gift or something, or a household tool. Did your friend just buy a car that you've always dreamt of having? Rejoice with him, and give him money to fuel his car. That way you're telling God you deserve that car too, and better! Is there an office/position you also want to see yourself in not far from today? Sow into that position. I'm sure you get the drift by now...
- The seed of a man makes room for him and brings him before great men.
- Wherever you want to go tomorrow, put a seed there today.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO PRAY IT, SEED IT!
That's it! I just sowed a seed into your life with this blog; and all times may fail, but seed and harvest time never fails, I'm expecting my spoils soon *wink*

Submit at 10!
Recently a friend of mine was a lil under the weather, and I figured it was due to inadequate rest… So, I decided to seize his phone and laptop once it was 10pm (he’s a FB addict like I am, and I thought if there was no way he could get online, he’d sleep… hence adequate rest, if I could pull this off for a few days). Yeah, I can be a good friend like that once in a while. *grins*
Anyways, the whole thing reminded me of something that used to happen way back when I was still a teen; my Dad used to have me and my brother ‘submit’ our cell phones to him as soon as it was 10pm… Yep! once it was 10pm, and my Sendo and brother’s Samsung was not on his table in his at-home office, we were in serious trouble!
Ever since the night that boy called my phone at 10:30pm, and my Dad noticed my uneasiness while I was talking to him; you know that kinda conversation you have where you can only say ‘yes’, ‘okay’, ‘me too’, ‘no o’, tomorrow’, ‘5pm’, ‘after computer class’, ‘at the junction’… and you’re practically whispering cos your Dad is in the living room with you… mehn! my Dad snatched the phone and started screaming stuff at the guy… I was shaking like a leaf, in my mind I was crying “chineke o! I don enter am this night!”
Turns out my head is still sitting on my neck, I’m still breathing… my Dad almost killed me that night, but he didn’t; maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was his only girl… hehe! However, Rule ‘Submit at 10pm’ was announced that night, and started to apply the following night :(
So that’s the story… my friend is better now, thank you (even though I know you don’t care, wicked soul!), and I don’t submit my phone anymore at ten, feel free NOT to call me at midnight! Ciao y’all… x

Occupy 5!
Day 5... still on the struggle, NLC refused N90/litre on the masses' behalf yesterday... God bless 'em!
Today I gathered a few status updates from Facebook relating to the Fuel Subsidy Removal Issue, some hilarious, others cold hard truth; enjoy:
Honesty is the best policy, not fuel subsidy - Pastor Tunde Bakare
No retreat, no rethink, no surrender - Pastor Tunde Bakare
Don't trust a man wiv no shoes but has a Phd in Zoology, coz he's just an animal in human skin - Psalmuel Isichei
In a Mathematics Class, the Teacher Wrote on the Chalk Board ¡f, 65 + X = 141. F¡nd X ??? EBUKKA: Oga Sir, "X nah subsidy"! - Codedcandy Boluwatife
Jolantern's meeting with organised labour has ended in a deadlock.......we still dey occupy 2mao be that....this egbere boy get strong head o - Adeolu Subsideen
Hello, My name is Frank Edoho :),from who wants to be a Fuellionaire. Your Friend collins is on the hot seat, he needs your help to win One Loaded Tanker of Fuel. The next voice you hear is your friend's. ( Your time starts now ). Paddy how far: Abeg wetin be the yoruba Name for SUBSIDY? - Rugged Cash
That awkward moment when my IQ is 134 and GEJ is my president - Tunde Moxie Akinsola
For a country which total per capita income is barely a tenth of wat d US make, I find it amazing tht at all tiers of goverment our rulers earn roughly 5 times more than their US counterparts. Subsidy shld hve started with their fat salaries. - Wale Owolabi
FUEL MADNESS, SUBSIDY per Year 1.3 Trillion, STRIKE per Day 320 Billion Loss, 5Days Strike= 1.6Trillion: More Than D Subsidy Itself: If The Govt Can Afford This Loss, Then it Can Afford Subsidy, SUBSIDY IS A FRAUD. - Toluth Apalowo
So a man who orders the death of unarmed young Nigerians wants the same young Nigerians to trust him with their collective destinies... Jonathan has lost his legitimacy. Shame on you, we are not cowered #OccupyNigeria - Jide Taiwo
TGIF: Tell Goodluck It is Fivedays #occupyNigeria - Tunde Fancy
While I search for more updates, the picture below states the only condition that can make us accept N145/litre (N200/litre in some places)... lmao!

Occupying Still, Day IV
It swells my head when I switch on the telly, and I see all these youths getting involved in this protest thing... it's an act to commend, really!
So here we are again, day 4 of #OccupyNigeria, I hear the government is asking labour to get off the streets and come to the negotiation table; quick question - does the government not know that removing subsidy on fuel at this time was its way of telling us the masses to take to the streets?! I taya o... talk of some people's brains under the sole of their feet!
Protests have taken several dimensions, some protestants at the Ojota Gani Fawehinmi Park were dancing to Fela's Zombie earlier this morning; and women have also gathered themselves, protesting and complaining about the cost of living that has soared higher than they can afford; I got a picture off a television broadcast of a pregnant woman protesting (forgive the blurry image tho):
I also got a picture of Pastor Tunde Bakare protesting at Ojota too:
And then, the President's own people are against him?! SMH...
I'm wondering if all this is going towards drama now, or are Nigerians really leaning towards diabolical means of protesting? If they are, Oga Presido indeed is in trouble, see these:
And Ekiti women are going topless, and doing all sort of chanting against Presido...
Let's move on... religion-wise, everyone is against him:
Hmmmm... Is this gettin' out of hand? People are regretting voting for him! In fact, people are saying "God, give us Dagrin and take Jonathan!" What about you, given the current circumstances, who do you prefer alive right now out of these 2:
Even this guy dey feel our pain (lol):
The struggle continua, people! #OccupyNigeria... love y'all!

I WISH YOU GOODLUCK
Once again, I stole! Guilty as charged, yeah! This one was written by Badly Drawn Dobs What you're about to read after this sentence is all of him, and none of me; enjoy!
A While Back
A few moons back there was this Jada Pinkett-sized girl I was in school wit’, her name was Funmi. She was the kind of girl who was hard to forget and that un-forgetabilty has got nothin’ to do wit’ beauty. Shawtie was cute, smart as a whip (well, that was what it looked like from my few interactions with her) and my God, she could talk nineteen to the dozen! And nah, I didn’t break out one of my special smooth operator’s moves on that ass? Well, not really! Why not really? See, by the time I got through knockin’ down some of her walls and we started bein’ cool with each other, there was already some other girl hangin’ on my freakin’ arm! This other chick got in the frame and hung there like a freakin’ spider. Did I say frame and spider? Nah, clip that, this chick was not jus’ in the frame, she was the whole picture, she fuckin’ caused the eclipse of them other chicks! Lol. There was no room left for kickin’ games on the side. Yeah, am faithful like that! Ah ha!
Anyways, Funmi had problems wit’ folks wishin’ her good luck, she freakin’ hated it.
I got a shocker the first time I wished her good luck wit’ her exams. Shawtie looked at me and retorted “Don’t wish me good luck, I don’t need it” I was like, what! What is it your cute lil ass want, bad luck?
She broke it down for me by sayin’, “I don’t need good luck, I need God’s grace”.
Ah, smart ass chick, right? Did I mention she was deep into campus church fellowship and thing? Well, she was.

Good Luck
Lately, or more specifically, since last week Monday, I’ve been givin’ the words “good luck” a lot of thoughts; the more I try to kick ‘em out of my head, the more they swim deep into my consciousness. May be I need good luck in the New Year. Of course, I do but why do those words make my blood boil, why?
I’ve become so obsessed wit’ the words, I now walk around wit’ them in my pocket. Huh uh, I tore the page out of my American heritage dictionary! As if that wasn’t enough, whenever I get on the internet, I ask Google what good luck is and I’ve been doin’ that for like a week now. Yeah, I know, am vergin’ on some X-file-Fringe type of shit!
These definitions are now tattooed word for word on my brain:
An auspicious state resulting from favorable outcomes
A stroke of luck
An unexpected piece of good luck; "he finally got his big break
The 7 Deadly Sins
The seven deadly sins, now that’s somethin’ that got came off my new obsession. First time I came across the concept of the seven deadly sins was when I saw the movie of the same name, it starred Morgan Freeman and some other guys, and though I can’t really remember how the picture panned out again, but I sure can’t forget what the sins were.
What, y’all don’t know what the sins are? Shame on y’all! Nah am jus playin’.
Here’s a lil some I lifted from Wikipedia
“Beginning in the early 14th century, the popularity of the seven deadly sins as a theme among European artists of the time eventually helped to ingrain them in many areas of Catholic culture and Catholic consciousness in general throughout the world. One means of such ingraining was the creation of the mnemonic "SALIGIA" based on the first letters in Latin of the seven deadly sins: superbia, avaritia, luxuria, invidia, gula, ira, acedia.”
Sneakin’ the above paragraph into this blog kinda make my shit look legit, huh? Lmao!
Anyways, the sins are Wrath, Greed, Slothfulness, Pride, Lust, Envy and Gluttony …so which one of these sins is your sinful ass guilty of, huh? Father Dobs will be coolin’ in the confession booth after this blog, get at him and get your confession on.
I know some of y’all are beginnin’ to get hot under the collar but hold it, am not tryna castigate your asses, I’ve got a bigger fish to fry. Did somebody jus’ say good luck wit’ that one? Well, thanks.
I checked in on the seven deadly sins specifically because of two of those sins, greed and gluttony.
Gluttony
The word was gotten from the Latin word gluttire or gula, meanin’ to gulp down or wolf. Flip open that dictionary of yours and it’d tell you that gluttony is the over-indulgence or over-consumption of anythin’ (especially food) to the point of waste.
Christianity considers the excessive desire for food or withholding of food from the needy a sin and am sure a lot of cultures and religions feel the same way too, right?
My nigga, Thomas Aquinas (a church leader from back in the days) broke his view of gluttony down to include an obsessive anticipation of meals, and the constant eating of delicacies and excessively costly foods.
That nigga Aquinas even went as far as preparin’ a list of six ways to commit gluttony, check it out:
Praepropere - eating too soon.
Laute - eating too expensively.
Nimis - eating too much.
Ardenter - eating too eagerly (burningly).
Studiose - eating too daintily (keenly).
Forente - eating wildly (boringly).
Phew! Pretty heavy, huh?
Greed
Greed (Latin, avaritia) is jus’ like gluttony; it’s a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the church) is applied to a very excessive or gluttonous desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power.
I read somewhere that greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs, especially with respect to material wealth.
A President Named Goodluck
Last week, it became public that the president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan wants one billion naira as his budget for food!
What the fuck, my freakin’ jaws seemed to have found a home of the floor since I read that! What, this bitch ass wants somethin’ in the neighborhood of 6.2 million American dollars for food only.
Men, what kinda food does this glutton have in mind, gold for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I don’t know what the budget for food for the president of America (unarguably the greatest country in the world) is, but am so freakin’ sure it’s nothin’ close to what this punk wants.
Now it kinda made sense why Funmi never wanted to be wished good luck those years ago, she musta seen this greedy glutton comin’. No God fearin’ leader, wait, let’s leave God outta this, no good leader should behave like this nigga. I hope this fool and his gluttonous crew choke on whatever food they’re goin’ to be bingin’ on in the New Year!

à la SUBSIDY
A subsidy (also known as a Render) is an assistance paid to a business or economic sector. Most subsidies are made by the government to producers or distributed as subventions in an industry to prevent the decline of that industry (e.g., as a result of continuous unprofitable operations) or an increase in the prices of its products or simply to encourage it to hire more labor (as in the case of a wage subsidy). Examples are subsidies to encourage the sale of exports; subsidies on some foods to keep down the cost of living, especially in urban areas; and subsidies to encourage the expansion of farm production and achieve self-reliance in food production.
Hi y'all... like they say the new greeting is now - 'e ku subsidy o'! Major league shout out to those involved in the #OccupyNigeria protests; RIP to those that were killed yesterday, may God console their folks, and may those responsible for this cruelty not find favour in the sight of God! Is that harsh?! ... ask the family of the deceased!
Still on the rude shock that our dear Presido, Oga GEJ hit us with after the year barely started...
THE GOOD SIDE:
1. Those that were ignorant of the word 'Subsidy' now not only know how to spell it, but also what it means
2. Boys now have the 'fuel angle' to woo girls... If he drives down all the way from very far away to see you (in this new Nigeria where fuel is N200/litre), be impressed! Oh, that reminds me of a picture I saw somewhere:
hilarious, innit?!
3. I now have all my 'working-class' friends at home to spend time with (except for Kay! Dude, I bow for your boss) ... thanks to the strike, thanks to the fuel subsidy removal!
THE BAD SIDE:
1. Cost of living is now overly expensive!
2. President GEJ has been given plenty insulting names e.g. Badluck, Goodnot, Egbere, Jonatus, Jonoton (which in Yoruba means burn totally), etc.
3. Plenty have been injured, and lives have been lost! Need I say more?
I'm aware that some people are in total support of this fuel subsidy removal, but can't they see that its negative consequences outweigh the positive ones?! Maybe the removal is needed, but maybe the timing is wrong? I think I support this young lady here:
So here we are, Day 2 of the #OccupyNigeria movement, the crowd is screaming:

I been seeing what y'all have been posting on there, I've just been giving you the silent treatment... oh no I'm not mad at you sweeties, you can stop making the “I’m about to tear up” face now. Good! Lol.
Anyways, those of you that are very acquainted with me know I am a huge fan of Gossip Girl, and a much rather huge fan of Chuck Bass... he's just a VGBG (very good bad guy, for those of you that don't know what that means). I also love Vanessa, she's beautiful... so pretty, great hair, lips and her eyes are so... you just wanna drown in 'em... #nohomo tho *in my Drake voice*
So while I was Google-Imaging, I stumbled upon her picture and Chuck Bass'...
Yep... that's 'em kissing! How na?! I mean I love 'em both; but I love 'em not together, I love Ed and I together! It's just not cool, seriously. *not smiling* So, it's official, Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr are kissing... wondering if they're doing more than that? Dunno, don't care!!! *pouting*
To take my mind off all that, ears are plugged with Kesha's Blow streaming through. This song would be more appropriate for a Friday night, but hey, who says a certain Rebel individual cannot have an early Friday night on a Thursday night! (does that even make sense? *shrugs*)
Anyone wanna 'blow' with me? Let's gooo...
WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING ALL DAY:
Surfing plenty fashion sites and MTV too, + Googling things sha... Oh yeah, and I've been Facebooking too... I been seeing what y'all have been posting on there, I've just been giving you the silent treatment... oh no I'm not mad at you sweeties, you can stop making the “I’m about to tear up” face now.

Whose toes are freezing like mine?! Do I hear a "Me, me!"... Mehn, this harmattan na die! After all the shakara, can't believe that it's actually cold in Lagos now... you know when it was getting extremely cold in other states, Lagos was ridiculously hot; first, i found it a warm welcome cos it was so cold in Ijebu that I always dreaded going to take a wash in the morning, then I came to Lagos and I was like "at last, some warmth"... then the warmth became hot, rash-inviting hot... now it's extremely cold... just as the weather in Lagos is undecided, so am I; undecided about the climatic condition I prefer - the hot one or the har(sh)mattan!
Anyways, 5th day of the year, people! How has it been so far?! I know everyone is screaming about the fuel subsidy thing... honestly, it just hit everyone so hard that some of us have even forgotten we're still supposed to be celebrating the new year... amazing thing is majority of the people who voted for GEJ are now biting their fingers in regret, haha! I hate to say this, but I told 'em they would! It's not just about the subsidy palaver, it's about a whole lot of other things!
However, GEJ isn't my topic now, I'm just looking for ways to keep this whole situation convenient and interesting for me! Still hanging in there, waiting for ASUU to call off the strike, still hanging in there, hoping I won't have to trek back to school after the strike has been called off, what with transport fare doubling up...
So I've seen Beyonce's 'Run The World' video like a hundred times already! I love the video, the dance, the girls, the costumes, the boys, that particular boy... you don't know the particular boy I'm talking about? why, this one:
I know, he's cute, right?!
So I'mma go hide under the duvet again, and maybe watch Queen B do 2Face's steps over and over again... or just watch a movie! Either ways, I'll be back... soon! xoxo

COMEBACK 2012
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas… just like the ones I used to know… *humming, trying to remember the lyrics* Hi y’all, gawd! I missed you! Writing and having you guys respond on here and my Facebook, I miss all that! I know y’all been wondering where I been..? truth is, I don’t know where I’ve been either… I think I’ve been lost in-between somewhere and somewhere. Anyways, let’s take it one festive day at a time:
CHRISTMAS…
Honestly? It was just another day… got to hang out with the folks, took a picture with my two sugar-daddies (see below):
I actually recorded a song for you guys, but I still can’t figure out how to put it on here… That was Xmas. Traffic was light, thank God!
BOXING DAY…
2 words (and an exclamation mark)… NO BOXES! :’(
NEW YEAR EVE…
I woke up and felt the need to enter the New Year with a clean room… I hadn’t unpacked or dusted my room since I came back from school, so New Year Eve’s day seemed like the perfect holiday to do the Operation Sparkling-Room. I’d show you a picture of the new room but, errr… nah!
CROSS-OVER SERVICE…
Seriously guys, I don’t know how it was at your church? But if you weren’t at mine, you SO missed! When I got a text from the Pastor’s office that service was starting at 8p.m., I was so rebellious in my mind, like what?!? Why 8p.m., that’s like soooo early! But I did go, and I would have kicked myself if I hadn’t gone!!! It was… was… really… *can’t find the right words*
BTW, happy new year y’all… wish you a blessed one ahead!
1ST JANUARY, 2012
I was hoping that after the Cross-over service, I would go to one carnival or the other, but as usual, I changed my mind at the last minute! Why do I always do that?! Anyways, in this case, I just thought waking up in time to go to church in the morning would be more important than going to a carnival. So, I ironed my dress, got in my room, locked it, set my alarm, and went right to sleep.
1st Service of the year/month was great… I mean, it had to be! When your Pastor tells you that you shall overtake, pursue and without fail recover all, it sure had to be great and inspiring! Service ended at 10 a.m. The day was a little hectic, had to go out again… traffic was light, roads were dusty, it was sunny; but I got home in one piece, halleluyah! Now I’m lying on my favourite couch typing this… it’ll be 0:00 hours, 2nd January, 2012 in a coupla minutes… time waits for no rebel!
364 days to go, the countdown begins again! Time to start working, people! Make a difference this year! Love y’all… Kisses!
