Re: PhotoFriday- the Ark





Let me tell you a story, yes, a real life story. In the time when the earth was still "young", there was great wickedness going on...but there was a man named Noah that pleased God. God? Yes, God...the creator and owner of everything, God.

The people hurt God so much that His course of action was to remove the people, wipe the earth. Me? When I go through this story I'm amazed at how honest God is to leave the story there...that, is perhaps story for another day. I continue, still, there was a man named Noah.

As Noah pleased God, He (God) told him (Noah) to build an ark, it was going to rain. Yes, build an ark! God gave him the specifications and instructions; animals will be on board, 2 by 2...2 of each, male and female. Noah built an ark, he obeyed God. The people laughed at him...it was definitely funny. An ark when we haven't seen such rain.


They got in when it was time, Noah and his family. And then, it rained!!! Just like he said, it rained. The people were shut out. And the flood covered the whole earth but Noah and his family were spared.



So thats just the synopsis of that historical story but I want to tell you something. Do you know Jesus came? Oh yes He did. He said something...let me "google'' it for you,

 "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Matthew 24:37 "




Still on that chapter (and further down after that verse), He told us to be ready. He'll come at anytime. Me? I want to be ready, to learn to live ready and to live ready.



Thats what I wanted to tell you about the ark. This world will pass, let Jesus be your ark. No one can be truly free from all the bad-bad things in this world without Jesus. When everything ends, of which it will, its only those who are on Jesus' ark that will be doing the happy dance. You know, its not that they saved themselves from the flood...the ark, Jesus, saved them from the flood.



You may be like: "nah, this Christianity stuff isn't for me". "I'm too dirty for Jesus''. Oh well, thats why He came. Tell Jesus, give it to Jesus and leave it there, trust Him to help you, He will...let Him help you. Those who get on the ark can't save themselves without being on the ark, without surrendering their safety, their lives, to this ark. That ark Noah built was with his hands, but this is not with your hands. Jesus is the ark.

I want to be and remain on the ark Jesus...I cannot do so on my own, daily I realise...all I need is Jesus.

Hmm…so I’ld no longer be listed as in a relationship on fb…it is well oh! The thought of the news spreading all over twitter has been in my head. The ‘eyah’s ‘ I would receive has been making me shake…but mehn! I’ld rather stand for God. I had to tell my dad about it…dunno if his parents were informed as his mum still called me some days ago. Thank God dad wasn’t furious as I expected. He just said ‘the Lord will work it out for your good!’ Amen oh! Tope and Toye were (and are) a great support and so was mum. (and is...love this woman!) Everyone seems to be saying it is well …dunno if that’s a new viral word! It sure would be well sha. ...................................................... [ eyah's: aww's or sorry]

"if you love me you'll wait for me!" Those sweet words pierced through my heart and vented out of my mouth. How could he say such a thing? How could he possibly mean it?...no! ....................................................................................... "...if you love me you'll wait for me!" Those words forced out of my mouth, I didn't know what else to say but sure enough even in this pain I knew that I was doing the right thing. How could he say such a thing when he knew I genuinely loved him?...before marriage? Never...but I didn't want to loose him. "Tolu but how could you say you love me but yet hide one thing from me?" he said. "Felix how can you say you love me yet you keep me away from the altar?" Now that sounded sarcastic but I was serious....dead serious. "So you think this is a joke right, I'm not refusing to marry you, of course I know what the word says, I know what tradition says but just once...

Hi people...trust your week has started with great smiles. I'm sorry there would be a hold on the developing story (or rather there has been a hold on the story). This week, I'm putting up an entry that is poetry. Its written by a medical doctor by name Ekundayo Otuyelu. I'ld love you to read it and not copy it...if lifting is needed please contact me so I can contact him. Thank you and have a wonderful week in Jesus name, Amen! Sickle Cell: A Prenatal Diagnosis. On the darkest night, when even the sputtering flame of the meanest candle is denied me, I will still cling to my memory of today. I have tended the dying, prayed with men and women hopelessly clinging to whatever shreds of life are left, and all of it has stirred my soul. But how different it is to celebrate life at its beginning. To hold a wailing infant in my arms, celebrate a first cry which brings joy, to marry the dream of two into one dream, one life, one heart. Such a thing I did today, The woman was lov...
