Despite David's imperfections -(coveting some else's wife, murder, not punishing his sons' atrocities), his obedience and love for God was unparalleled. David became God's measuring stick for kings to come until the arrival of the King of kings, Jesus. Friend, what pace are you setting with your life in this generation? I'm not talking about money, accolades, career, business but something much "more" that goes beyond the natural Your relationship with God! How much of Him do you desire? . ©anuonasanya . . . . . . #awriterheart https://www.instagram.com/p/BzfrXxvpJ_S/?igshid=2bzd6qqyb6yc

Wow!!! We got a feature ___ Reposted from @weddingdigestnaija - How Do I Fall in Love Again? Dele sighed deeply His tear-filled eyes stared on the road as he drove He wasn't sure how to react To this disturbing news He had everything planned out with his friends He had gotten the engagement ring a few days ago Wanted the moment to be a very special one So he could express how much he loved Susan How could you, Susan? he shouted His horn honked erratically As he struck his steering wheel repeatedly Startling the dispatch rider that rode past his car Why would you, Susan? I loved you with all! We were meant to be together from the first time I laid my eyes on you Susan, why? He asked again Dele shook his head as tears streamed down his face Quickly wiped them with his sleeves But he couldn't keep them flowing As the pain of betrayal ached his heart What did I do wrong? Susan, why? He asked again His vision became blurry as he cried in his car Then, he decided to park his car As he swerved off the road to the service lane His car narrowly missed the biker riding past him The rider hurled some insults at him Dele's heart was too broken to care He unlocked his phone Starred at the picture Lanre forwarded to him Susan exchanging vows with a stranger And she was beaming with smiles How could you lead me on all along, Susan? He dialled her number Hoping she would tell him it was a terrible dream he had And the picture was photoshopped Her number was engaged Later, the operator said it was switched off Susan! He shouted her name Why? Did I offend you in any way? Dele thought about his relationship with her family It was very cordial Susan's family filled the void of a lone child for him They made him feel welcomed always He remembered his last visit to Susan's place Her mom welcomed him warmly as usual Her siblings were friendly Even her younger sister chatted with him while he waited for Susan He didn't sense any animosity Or did I miss the red flags? He asked himself again As he played the visit in his head again Hope over to the bio to read the full story _ Author @AnuOnasanya Fashion Illustration @peniel_enchill #Weddingdigest https://www.instagram.com/p/BzcspqvpA_Z/?igshid=1cmzicijdknjp

(Long Post Alert✋) . Next Adonijah held a coronation feast,... He invited all his brothers, the king’s sons, and everyone in Judah who had position and influence—but he did not invite the prophet Nathan, Benaiah, the bodyguards, or his brother Solomon. 1 Kings 1:9‭-‬10 MSG ______ Many times you and I had felt left out when: _____ • Our name was omitted from the list of a gathering of who-is-who, • Never got an invite to the most anticipated event, or • We just seem to be lacking behind in the trends of time ____ Friend, I've got a message for you. ____ Solomon, prophet Nathan and Benaiah and the kings' bodyguards were left out of Adonijah's self-coronation party - which was the most anticipated event in the kingdom. ____ Why? Because this was the first time there would be a succession to the throne within same family ____ Adonijah had the backing of Commander of the Army of Israel, Joab, and Abiathar, the priest. Who else could have been missing except those that amount to nothing? That's what anyone could have thought. ____ Then, those guys never got an invite. Could you imagine that? ___ So, what is the message for us here? ___ Hold on friends, if God says the position, role, gift or opportunity is for you, then, you know what? Wait on Him! He is gonna do it. Yes, He would. If you read further down this text (in your Bible), the coronation party eventually turned into a fear-laden, guilt-ridden and treason chaos. Friend, your testimony would surely come. Remember men's approval never equates to God's . ©anuonasanya . . . . . . . #dontgiveup #Godhasgotyou (at Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzN4578J317/?igshid=1ci1uyz0md952

Quick share from today's devotional - BIOY, @youversion @nickygumbel . God in his providence foresees the future, and so in a mysterious way anticipates, prepares for it and guides it. Therefore, you can trust God’s providence in all the events and circumstances of your life... . The whole universe is in his hands and he is working his purposes out . (Very Importantly, emphasis mine)God is at work through all the human events... . As you read those words above, let this verse resonate in your heart: . All things work together for good, for those that love God and called according to His purpose (Rom 8:28) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Godgotme #providenceinGod #workingittogetherformygood #rom828 https://www.instagram.com/p/By2Ob5wpwPt/?igshid=5hih4of6v4gk

Part I . It was a wet Sunday morning and I had run out of gift bags for the pending orders I had to deliver today, so I decided to buy some from the neighbourhood store. . Stepping out of the house into the streets, I noticed the road was quite deserted though a few persons had braved the rain to attend early morning services at their respective worship centres while a couple of the business-savvy motorists moved around to make a quick early morning sale. . Nothing really fancy or attractive happening around, till I saw this boy- probably in his early teens, all tucked in wearing his Sunday’s best with a sling bag slung across his chest, strummed on an imaginary guitar and sang softly to himself under the rain as he walked to his destination. . There was this peace that surrounded him as he showed no cares in the world. . I couldn’t hear the lyrics of the song but the pure delight on his face was something to pause and admire. . He was joyful! . I wished I could share the moment with him but it would have been unfair to interrupt his worship moments. . So, I kept walked on. . Some few meters away from him, I met a family- a mother and her three sons- taking a brisk walk somewhere but one of the sons seemed reluctant, so, he kept some distance from the rest of the family. He had a scowl on his face and kicked around an imaginable soccer ball. . I assumed he was not happy- either because his sleep was disrupted or he didn’t like where they were heading to. I just smiled at him and walked past. . On the return trip from the store, there was this well-dressed young man across the street checking his wristwatch almost every second while pacing between his door and the fence. . He was anxious. . Guess, he was running late while waiting for his ride. . About entering our home, I met the... . .
