PLEASE BE REAL MY FRIEND

By -


I don't expect your face to be without pimples or wrinkles; don't try to impress me with a flawless face.
I don't expect you to speak from your nose when talking to me; I know how your village people sound
I don't expect your spellings to always be correct as long as I know what you wanted to spell: I've seen your notebooks
I don't expect your grammar to always be correct as long as I understood you; I'm not an exam body.
If you drank *garri* or ate *matemba* don't tell me you ate chicken and lion meat, as long as your belly is full I don't care what you filled it with.
Don't lie about your parents, they mustn't be perfect, mine aren't
Your father could be a drunkard or your mother a flirt, don't paint the picture of a saint to me because my parents aren't better and I might bump into your parents soon.

If you don't have it, don't borrow and intimate me with if. If you borrowed it, don't pretend it's yours. Everyone borrows at times.
If your hills hurts you take off, if your suit makes you sweat, don't put it on. Don't make me feel you are comfortable when you are not.

Be real my friend
When you are real, I'll love you for who you are and not what you've pretended to be and have.
My acts to you would be sincere
Don't lie about not been upset when you are.
If you haven't forgiven me, tell me, it doesn't make you a sinner
Yes, we might fight because we don't pretend, we might struggle to accept our real selves but when we do, our love would be genuine and our relationship real.
Be real my Friend
Be real
Letter to my friend by pastor promise Ikpe

EVIL

By -
WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
