LIFE PARTNERS PART 1

Our lifelong dependence on one another puts relationships at the core of our existence. Once, there was attraction….. The attraction between a man and a woman to which we owe our existence. As social animals we have a passionate need to belong and connect with others in enduring and passionate relationships. This we seek all through life. From our infancy till death; humans seek to have a relationship that he/she knows nothing about.  No child knew his parents before birth but a bond is created that the existence of that child is glued to the relationship between the child and the parent. Even before the child; parents were once strangers who felt there was more to life than living alone. The bond of love has led to children, whose survival chances are boosted by the nurturing of two bonded parents who supports one another. “Two good hands are better than one” a phrase built on interdependency and one starts to ask, where do I go from here? Where will I meet him or her t...

DEFINITIONS

All humans want to set a legacy in this world before passing to the land beyond. Thus lots of things are put together on a daily basis to achieve this feat without compromising the real reach which is heaven. Wealth, health and a good name is a piece of what we sum up as a success in this life we live just once.  If the world can no longer cater for you; death becomes the next essence. What do we really need? Who do we really need to survive? How much do we really need every day?   Different religions have different views and generally we all worship one God. Why the divisions in this one body of God through our different meanings. We all don’t understand because the vastness between the mystic and the ordinary is extreme. With the following definitions I think we would be able to understand why our world have been what it is today with us creating meaning at no meaning precisely. Who constitute the world we live in and what do we see it to be. It could be ar...

HOW I WISH? PART 5

With fear overcoming me, my options became limited. A part of me wants to run away; but the truth is where am I running to? I have always been that brave man and here is a woman showing me how strong women are. But let’s think of it what have I done wrong? Just a little follow-up and the whole fun of lying to her on phone have now created a world of fear and damnation in me.   The world was ending and I felt like visiting another church. I told Arnold that we can get more powerful men of God to help out in this situation and we agreed to that.  I put my SIM back into my phone and put it on. We were thinking about which man of God we would visit when my phone rang. This time it was my parish priest in the village. I was so happy and knew God has answered my prayers. Without delay I picked the call, I told him the whole story but he cut me short. Fr told me I must go to Benin. That he just received a call now and that the only way things won’t go worse for me was to fin...

HOW I WISH? PART 4

Then a twist came to my thoughts…. How on earth did she know about the dream? That means God just showed me what I was to suffer in this Benin I am about going to. I needed to confirm she knew what she was asking about; thus I asked her which dream and she replied …… sorry it wasn’t you baby, it’s my friend here. She was telling us about a dream before I called you. Anyway how was your night? I said it was good. Aisha, I’m not sure I’ll be able to make the trip today again. Probably I’ll come tomorrow or next. Some things just came up I said and she sounded not comfortable with that. Stupidly I started feeling bad. But the spirit corrected me and showed me those pictures of suffering that lie in front of me thus I stood my grounds. I ended the call before our conversation ended and switched off my phone. I went back into the bathroom as I dropped the phone on the bed and to my surprise again, my phone rang. I was scarier again. How can this girl call a phone I just switched of...
