THE CHURCH     The Church in this context is not where you go to worship on weekdays and Sundays. I trust you’ve been having a purpose-filled week? God’s been faithful & I prayed for you by the way. The thought of the Church today just makes me weep in my heart- I just can’t explain it, but a lot of us, I mean- a lot, have missed the real deal. Paul writing in one of his epistles in Corinthians said; “we ourselves are letters of recommendation to be read by the world… this ‘letter’ is written not with pen and ink… it is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human heart”. You and I make up the Church which means we are the Church. Without you and I there will be no Church, the place we go to worship is only a building; we are God’s temple meaning we carry Jesus in us and everywhere we step in- Jesus also comes on the scene. So, we actually carry God’s presence into the church, hallelujah! Why this topic - “the Church”? I will answer that but let ...

Hello everyone; how is your week going? Great week I tell you, God’s been good. Today we are going to be talking about a simple subject-- “us being a light to our world” you might be thinking; is it not this same topic I’ve heard and read like a dozen times? Hold up brother. It’s not as easy as it sounds and besides you never know what God will be saying to you this time. If you are a Christian and you’ve got no relationship with God, my friend you’ve got to go back to the drawing board and fix it, God loves you! I can’t call myself a full writer yet because what I do here is just a piece of my heart & the truth is; the fact that I write here does not make me more holy than you are and the fact that you’re the one reading this doesn’t make you less holy, it’s all grace. People see me and say all nice things like; “ Itofa, you are doing a really great job with the blog, it’s such a wonder”.   As much as I will love to take the credi...

Infinitesimal is an English term for small- our minds are such powerful tool that anything preconceived in it can be birthed. The mind is the seat of reasoning while the heart is where emotion is played out. ‘Have a dream so big that you’ll grow up into the person who can achieve it’- anonymous. You can only go as far as your mind can take you. Let’s take the Wright brothers for instance; who would ever believe that man will fly someday? Somebody preconceived the thought and it played out in reality. We are called higher mammals because so much has been bequeathed on us. Now, let’s go to my favorite part; do you know the difference between the rich and the poor? It’s the mindset. Do you know why there is a conspicuous difference between an average student and an excellent student or genius as we call them? It’s the mindset. You see why the mind is such a powerful tool. Life is beautiful; we’ve been given so much to become what...

                                              Photo credit: Tosin Thank you so-so much for stopping by. Writing is therapeutic for me and I just want to say thank you for sharing in it. I know tones of anonymous visitors one way or the other must have bumped into this page wittingly or u nwittingly, but thanks all the same. In the Nigeria dialect, Yoruba, we would say eshe ghan! My full name is Itofameh Denis Ivarah but people call me Itofa. I am the first son and the only boy out of three; I must be a superman, lol. I’ve got two amazing sisters, beautiful sisters by the way, one is 15 and the other is 7. Apparently, the women have colonized my home. Well, my dad and I try to keep up. My mom is a tailor and my dad is an electrical engineer, a ...

I am recommending this movie for everyone, of all age, it’s a must watch. I must add you should get a napkin by your side because you’ll sure be moved to tears. I feel blessed and refreshed having seen this movie. The power of prayer can never be over emphasized; prayer is never us doing God any good, but the other way round. Prayer is practically us talking to God and Him speaking back to us. The time spent in prayer is what you can never get elsewhere; it’s a time to get charged up. Prayer is not a gruesome task where you have to be articulate, no; the Holy Spirit helps us with utter groaning that we can never understand. War-room; there you have it, I broke it apart, a room were you war. From the movie a modern family was depicted having the usual family issues, dad was prideful with his s...
