But God

In church, the sermon But God.. In the bible there were so many cases where the children of israel were in trouble, we find out.. But God.. Stepped in to save his children.

Many times we've had problems and difficulties to tackle, but God came in to save his child.
But God can help you, deliver you and save you from the enemies.

What an evening

Using the google map on my phone, I entered my destination from my apartment in the docklands.. Going to another end of it not far by train but half an hour walk. It goes with the question "do you know where you are going?" I knew my destination but not how to get there on foot. I walked for about 19 minutes and it told me that I'd got to my destination.. In the middle of nowhere. I was confused and my battery dying out, no help. I tried again and this time I was specific with my destination.. It took me another 13 minutes but I did get there at last.

Lessons Learnt
You are faced with that difficulty, you pray but pray a general prayer and you keep praying that general prayer.. It's time to be specific to get what you want.
Don't give up, don't stop believing.. If I gave up on google maps I won't have got to my destination.
Do everything you have to do to get to your destination on time.
Keep your eye on Jesus for hey is the greatest SAT nav of life; way better than your google map of life, whatever that may be.

Devotion - A HARD BONE TO CHEW?

I don't know if I am alone in this but doing a devotion is just like my hair is pulling out and I quickly need to stop and do something else.

The truth be said, the devil truly has taken our precious time with our saviour from us. He hates to see us spend more time on other things. The bible truly said, love not the world neither the things of the world.. Whosoever loves the world more than God is not of God.

Titus 2:11 KJV

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men

God's grace is the word.
We are saved by Grace and it's grace that has been covering for all the love we haven't shown the Lord. Let us start today by spending 15 minutes of every free time with the Lord and half an hour minimum of everyday on devotion. Share your time spent with the Lord with every reader. We are doing a month of the study of the book of Ezra. You can follow us on emeraldogzz.wordpress.com

Save the World

Recently, a friend of mine went to Burundi on a missionary work. The pictures she posted on her blog reminded me of the heartaches and pain in some parts of the world. I just keep praying for helps for those young ones around the world. For provision and God's love to be known to them. These young ones need all the love they can get and the knowledge of God's love is greater than any other.

Smile

I won't say I'm in the best of moods now to do this
But what I've got to tell you is that it is essential to try to make someone smile... Recently, peeps have been coming to meet me for advice (excuse my short form) and seriously speaking, I do not know what to say.. Then I turn to the Lord to guide me, sometimes he makes me speak and other times he makes me smile at the person, give a warm big hug and say these words "I'm praying for you" (of course I really do). Surprisingly, it works and what do I do? Smile even more...

I don't know how many are big pretenders but I'm one (yes, I just said it).. I pretend to have the best life when deep down I need a HELP. I do not know how to show that I'm so sad even when I am. Like right now, tears are just streaming down but as usual I smile and write (my best moment for thinking). In everything I give God praise.

Lesson of this whole episode is to SMILE no matter what is going on right now, SMILE because There'll be a light at the end of THIS tunnel. You won't keep going through it because God said, HE won't give us more than we can bear.
I encourage you brother/sister, help another lighten their load and others will help you too with just a SMILE. We are in this together and YOU are NOT FORGOTTEN. :)

Woman of Faith - 1

I've always wondered what life had been for the women of faith the bible talked about. How would I have lived in that era? Believe it or not, it was more difficult trusting God then than now. Then they were faced with persecutions, idol worshippers all around and random doctrines that seemed true just like our time. But they trusted in God.
Take a look at Esther, what a courage? I am a naturally brave person but I don't think I'd have gone to that extent. If we look critically into this, we can find out that they prayed more.
I pray every day for Faith, to do the things I can do daily, to carry out the difficult tasks, and the Faith that is contagious so that others may benefit from it and believe in God.

Will my Name be ticked in that book?


Important Notice: There comes a time in a life after this we'll all have to face the music.. be you a theist or an atheist, He is no respecter of persons and you'd wish you believed.. I pray this touches your soul as it has touched mine. It hasn't been written for an applaud, this is straight from the depth of my heart for I am burdened to share this based on an earlier event of today. I pray you keep reading and not turn away from this. This is for You and Me!
When it is said or announced, 
the death of a friend, relative or anyone at all
Moods change
Not for the cause of the death sometimes
but for the fact that we'll not see that person ever again on earth

Then there comes the moment of truth
Have you ever wondered where that person may be after death?
I mean, life after death

It may be believed,
It may be real or unreal for some
But what I do care about is that book of names

How I live my life here on earth 
With friends and family,
with people everyday
Even with you reading this
Is what matters

One day I'd have to account for all my wrongs
For all those I have misled
For all the wrong thoughts I have had

We never know when
the strange, unaccepted, and unloved visitor comes
but one day it will surely come to us all
Will my name be ticked "Well done thou good and faithful servant"
or an unticked "depart ye worker of iniquity" in that book?

Sad as it is
I may not be heaven's favourite now
But at the end of this
I pray Heaven's salvation opens in my soul

I stop to think
In this fast pace of life
The technology, the people,
The earthquakes and wars
When it all comes to an end
Where will I be?
Who will I be taking along with me?

I may be mocked at now
For choosing this path of life
It may not pay right now
But the end will justify the means

I pray to be completely sold out to my creator
For in him is everlasting life
And I'll one day meet with all my loved ones
Who have gone before me
But that can't be done till my sins
Have been sent way ahead to mercy's seat
And my heart a home to the Saviour
Where sin is highly prohibited 
And the love of God is ever so abundant
At last taking as many with me to the master
To heavenward we fly
And be told "Well done thou good and faithful Servant"
Our names ticked in that great book
And together we'll sing "Hallelujah"

My Recipe Note: Victoria sponge cake

I love making desserts after preparing a lovely meal. Last weekend was an experiment of Chocolate swirl cake with cream and strawberry topping. This weekend should be victoria sponge cake (whisper: I'm baking this for a very special Uncle at church..*wink*)

Ingredients

  • 200g caster sugar
  • 200g softened butter
  • eggs , beaten
  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp milk

  • 100g butter , softened
  • 140g icing sugar , sifted
  • drop vanilla extract (optional)
  • 340g jar good-quality strawberry jam ( we used Tiptree Little Scarlet)
  • icing sugar , to decorate












Method
To make the filling, beat the butter until smooth and creamy, then gradually beat in icing sugar. Beat in vanilla extract if you're using it. Spread the butter cream over the bottom of one of the sponges, top it with jam and sandwich the second sponge on top. Dust with a little icing sugar before serving. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.



Cake:
  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. In a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
  2. Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon, then bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.


I found this on BBC, I might register for more baking tips. :D

Everywhere I go

From my daily Ruth study. Ruth 1

For everywhere I go, in place of my handbag, may it be your word
In place of sweet thoughts, may it be thoughts about you

Just as humble Naomi spoke of you to her heathen daughters
May I always speak of you to everyone
Unlike Naomi, may I never leave your path
But stay on it forever
And just like Ruth, may my words be, wherever you go, I go.. May I cleave to your word like a lifeline, never ever letting go.

God's word for you today

''For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds, says the LORD'' -Jeremiah 30:17a

When our hope is in the Lord and all we do is trust Him in everything, he'll bring his word to pass in our life. I pray this makes you smile today. God bless you!

Why am I a Christian?

A friend shared this video on a facebook page and I thought to share it with you too.

This question is very vital in every Christian life. Some people are Christians because they were born Christian but I am a Christian because I have been and still I'm saved by Grace. The story of my life and his divine touch in my life has brought me down to my knees in appreciation and worship of his awesomeness.
Although born a Christian, I always asked myself why we had to do certain things. I was born and bred in one of these old churches known as the fundamentalists founded by Florence Crawford (Apostolic Faith Mission).. This church has been since 1907, it birthed from the 1906 Azusa street revival organised by William J. Seymour. I loved how my church was so historian - kind of a vintage feel but I never understood why my church was so different compared to all other churches in Africa (back then).
We all did everything different while normal black churches were up and going, very up beat etc. I felt restricted especially as a growing teen and worse, my parents won't have me 'misbehave' (in their terms). I did what they wanted me to do just to please them. The time came for me to leave home, I left far away.. I went across ocean and came to live in England. Then I truly understood why I am a Christian. I wasn't much of a Christian though, I should say my parents did a good job in bringing me up so I had good morals but that was no where near Christianity. I saw myself doing things I shouldn't be doing but the day came when God spoke to me.

When God speaks to you, his voice is clear and distinct. It can't be denied, you'll know of a truth God has caught up with you. That was what he did. He spoke to me in such a manner that no one else could. He said: "Do you love the world more than me?" I knew in my heart of hearts I didn't love God as much as expected. He'd done soooo much for me to walk out of his life. He was just too much for me to deny him. He had calmed so many storms in my life, he'd been there for my family, for me and he was still there for me in my Sin.

I had to give it up to him.

The peace afterwards was overwhelming. It was not a perfect moment after I returned to God but I tell you, There's a peace that comes into your heart and lives with you at all times, that peace, you can never get from anyone else but God.


I can boldly say I am a Christian by Grace
*Watch out for the novel about my walk with God.. The complete story coming soon! with others included*

Some inspiration for you

Found some pictures and thought to share it!

Jesus is knocking at your heart's door. Will you let him in or keep him outside?


If we all do this, the world would be a better place


Pray always!


There's healing for all in God's special providence. Count on him!


He is sifting us, we just need to be patient with Him so he can get the best of Us!

When you are hurt...

..by the person you love; it hits you more than anything else. I've been pretty useless throughout today and tomorrow is a busy day for me. I should be preparing for tomorrow, but I can't. I'm ill suffering from chest pain. How terrible can this be?

I defo need God's grace to carry on. Oh, I felt like watching a film and I remembered "Sound of Music" I love the songs and I've been playing the scenes in my head even before seeing it. Lol. You know when you like a movie or film (you replay the scenes, the songs and you just remember all the funny bits and the interesting scenes you just can't stop watching) that's the way I felt watching it again. Just like yesterday, when I was a little girl and watching those kids sing, now an adult and one day will have my own kids (I pray not seven though).
I'm really trying not to think about this whole episode of Monday that got me really upset. I've never felt so disappointed, betrayed and hurt before. It's so sad and disappointing when those who you didn't expect that much hurt to come from eventually hurt you.

Lessons learnt: Never expect too much from people, they'll never cease to disappoint you.. It's best you underestimate people for them to surprise you than for you to overestimate their worth and they throw it in your face.

Been in the Realm

Recently, I have been a bit down, not talking much and doing much (kind of good). I've been in high spirit.. It got to a point everything just didn't seem okay, like the world was against me. I felt so alone but I thank God for God.
He reminded me he was there.
I had a chat with someone really close and that person hurt me so deeply. The words they said of me, I never felt so offended in my life that I cried through the night. I was prettty useless to myself the following day.
Went into Uni to do some work and I couldn't concentrate, although the person called earlier to apologise and suggested we meet to talk but sincerely speaking, I don't want to talk about it.
I am human and it's right to get offended but as a Christian, I have to forgive because if I harbour it, it becomes hatred and that may give that person power over me. Yes! Power.. When you hate someone, that person changes your mood whenever you see them, meaning they've the power over you. If they succeed in changing your mood, they've succeeded in controlling a part of you.
So Yes, I forgive that person but forgetting it is something that will need Grace.

There's a saying that everything happens for a reason. I o believe that.
In the wake of this 'anger-event', I got closer to God. God is my best friend, my teacher, my father, my sibling, my mother, my lover and everything. He is the only one who never lets me down! I had to rekindle and strengthen my sweet fellowship with my BFF and like always he was there to listen.

I began preparing myself for my future husband. There is the saying, if you want someone to behave in a certain manner, you hav to first work on yourself ( okay, maybe ht came from me) but yeah, I am beginning to learn of the bible women. What did they do differently, what did they have tat I don't? What qualifies them to be so special? How did they succeed as women of faith?

My Journey starts with Ruth (you probably thinking why not Sarah? I'll come to her later).
Yesterday was Ruth chapter 1, I read that after my devotion and it was so spirit filled. I prayed, prayed and gave God thanks for his word.
I'll share some of Ruth 1 notes with you later.
For now, remain blessed!

Can't you see I love you?

When you had no one to help you out,
When you could no longer pay your bills,
And feeding became difficult
I remember the smile on your face
When I sent my child to offer that help
I showed up on time
Can't you see?

When you were so excited about life
Everything seemed fine
But there were those who did not wish you well,
You were sad when you fell ill that morning,
The morning of your special meeting
With these 'special' friends
I saw it coming and had to wave off your downfall
You were upset with me
Can't you see I love you?

I woke you up this morning,
Provide your needs,
Make you comfortable
When I notice you forget me
I step right in and rescue you from my enemy
Because he wants to destroy
Reducing you to nothing
But I won't let that happen
You are not as strong as Job
But my tests for you will guide you to have that faith

I'll always be there for you
But sometimes I need to let you fly on your own
To see how high you can go
When I do that sometimes,
You hurt me by crying, complaining and saying the word I dislike 'why'?
It's you because I love you
I love you so much to lay down my life for you
And I sure did
Do you remember?

When you forget your wings,
Or when you feel so comfortable leaning on me
I push you just a little
But always remember,
I'll be there to catch you
Never give up

And when you get to that height
Please do not hurt me
By thinking you arrived there by your strength
For I am a jealous God
But I'll forever love you my people
Can you now see that I truly love you?

Do you know?

The devil just tries all means possible to make us sad? And we totally yield to his tricks. Following from yesterday I've been so unhappy most especially because of my current job and someone else.
I've been smiling but sad within (I am so good at that but it Kills!) I've been more to myself lately due to these events and the devil keeps bringing up stuff in my head to make me more downcast. Sitting at work and so tired, I sent my best friend from church an email.. I was saying to her that, I know I want a change of job or a better role but I can't take this anymore from my current situation at work. Something caught me and I knew I'm complaining. Complaining about God's gift?
I had to pray to Dear Heavenly Father to forgive because it is wrong to ask God for a gift and when we get it, we begin to say it is not good enough but that was our request.
Oh God help! I feel so sleepy right now and can't type any more. I just thought to share that with you. It's about the close of work. Praise God! I'll save this sleep for another hour.

Things that easily beset Us

I was in this just few minutes ago.. I returned from Church! upset, can you imagine? The devil does know how to get us.

You know the bible verse that says God uses the weak things of this world to confirm the wise??? I don't know if this is the perfect verse for what I'm about to say: I returned home this evening kind of in low spirit and was in no mood to talk.. I noticed my flatmates had some visitors and I just went into my room and short the door but I was hungry.. So I told myself I'd angrily go to the Kitchen to get some food but God stopped me and asked me to pray.. I did! I got to the sitting room and a little girl accompanied her Dad to see my flatmates.. My flatmate is about to have a baby and she was in her early stage of contraction. The little girl stopped me and said Hello, then she said "auntie is having a baby" I was forced into a conversation that got me smiling. Finally she said "and that's my baby".. I laughed and said Yes. Now, I'm a lot better! thank God I prayed and thank God for that little muslim child.

Cloud 9

I know some people are in Cloud 9 when they get married or are about to. Well, I am in Cloud 9 should I say my first although it has nothing to do with getting married.
About some weeks ago I felt I didn't know my stand with God anymore, I was angry at the world and angry with everything... I cried often and was depressed. I realised I needed to be straight with God to get that happiness and peace. When that happened, life couldn't be any worse.. but I smiled through it (although I did cry at some point but Hey, I realised what??? That's what the devil wishes for me.. I'll keep praying and smiling through the storm).

The Result:
I felt God had so much pity for me.. He looked down in mercy and helped is beloved daughter out of all her problems. I am smiling all the time now, whether I'm offended or not (infact, I barely get offended these days). God has been awesomely good!!! He's worked with me through my difficult tasks and made me see every reason of every day to smile with him (did I say that??) I am excited boy!

Well, you might want to join me in Cloud 9 too!! Bless you.

Condolence to my Country

My heart goes out to those families who lost someone dear to them in that plane crash earlier yesterday. May the Good God comfort you all and may the gentle souls of the departed rest in peace. Amen.

Yes! I am Nigerian and don't you shake your head in pity for me because I love my country. We do have some issues true, but there's no country without issues. The sad news about Nigeria is that we Nigerians are outspoken so you always get to hear our stories while other countries like little Britain and show-off America just keep the dirty stuff far away from the other parts of the world or they make it sound it's not their fault.

Please do me a favour and tell the Indians to stay away from my country. Who asked them to come manage the airline or own one in Nigeria?? See, my problem with Nigerians:: Stop feeling inferior! we can do better than most countries or race; we are Smart! did you all feel Indians can run it better than Nigerians??? See the end result. Faulty plane, pilot said no to the flight and so did the station manager but annoying and greedy Indians said Yes!! fly!! the plane can handle it. Now we've lost 153 people and even more where the crash happened. I am so disgusted right now and so sad too. God please have mercy on my dear country, it's time for you to listen and hear our cry.

Please dear God!!

My baby!!!

The strangest coincidence happened yesterday (my birthday - 31st May). Over 20 years ago, I was born same day about 9:30 am and more than 20 years later, one of my closest family friends got married about a year ago and he became a father just yesterday.
The coolest thing is that, his baby is a Girl and she was also born in the Morning. Although, I didn't go through the process of having her and I'm not her biological Mum but Man, that girl is my little baby girl before I finally have mine. I hear she is gorgeous too.. she defo took after me then (Lol).
I am very grateful to God for this gift of life. May God bless and keep my little angel - (I won't give out her name yet.. the naming ceremony hasn't been done.. she's Nigerian).

It's my birthday

I can't believe how quickly it came. I'm I really excited? Yes, certainly. It was just yesterday, when I had a rucksack and throttled the streets of Africa as a little girl going to school. That little girl, now a woman soon to be married and have her lovely family. I am most grateful to God for everything.I am not in the mood to write today nd I won't be celebrating much. Your prayers will be greatly appreciated.

As bright as the Sun

As I tapped in the title of this post, I thought of a poem... I sure will write something on that title so expect another As Bright As the Sun.
Today was so warm and bright, as I stepped out of my block I wished I stepped out earlier. Had so much to do and going to the market? Well, I wasn't down for it but I had no choice. Opened my fridge this morning to get something to eat and realised it was practically empty. I prayed to God to direct my day because I really had to do all my laundry, cooking and studying. Guess what? I'm almost done with all I had to do. God truly put some sunshine in my heart today n he made me quickly finish my task, I even had spare time to prepare Cherry Sorbet which I might take to church tomorrow. It's taking too long to freeze. Anyway, I feel so sleepy now.. I guess all I wanted to say is, never stop asking God because just when you don't expect it, Bang! It will happen. Watch out on emeraldogz.com, new stuff coming soon too. Do not forget to prepare your heart for tomorrow's worship, God is going to bless in an unusual way.. Listen to every word, that might just be what you need to carry on.

Morning Rhythms

You may have read this on my website but this poem was one straight from the heart writing during one of my best times of the day. I love mornings, they are new and fresh.. it kind of tells the perfect day. I wrote this yesterday 24th of May (One of my best friends birthday) I'm tempted to say previous but best friends are forever. Yes, previous because we parted ways about 10 years ago.. we are still friends but miles apart. We spent the later part of our childhood days together and our early teens before she left for the States but that was way back in Africa.. Today we are all connected with ermmm American and British Spellings.. Lol, time differences... Rebtel calls once in a while and google chat. I love her like my sister but losing touch has kind of messed things up a bit. There's always one thing you never forget; the good times. She was so kind and sweet. We were pretty close back then and we did keep in touch for a while when she left for the States, after sometime communication got really bad but we tried. Now, I really don't know, all I do know is that I still really love my friend and wish we could still be close.
Okay, in all that mood I realise I've got exam.. I got scared, studied pretty hard and went to bed only to wake up an hour and a half before the exam starts.. Rushed out quickly, got on the train, thank God the location was easy to find because I just trailed behind students I guessed were going to same venue. Got out of the exam hall  two and the half hours later.. and this poem is remembered. I love the LORD because he makes me SMILE all the TIME. I PRAY he does same for my FRIEND whose birthday was same day, she turned 25. I PRAY a loving and God-fearing man will get married to her really soon (please God when I have money to fly to the US though) and give her PRETTY kids like herself and surround her with all blessings she has asked. Also, God please bless the person reading this now and smiling at the thought of my friend... :)

A wake up to the rattling of tea cups on the saucer, the sauce pan moving around the burner, the birds chirping, squirrels chittering, crickets stridulating and all the rhythms of nature. It is unlike the rhythm in my heart, the rhythm of uncertainty for the day. There is one who perfects in a tandem of rhythm no matter how it sounds to make it a beautiful symphony. And I know the rhythm of my heart will blend in that harmony when the creator of the rhythm of nature perfects and gives a better rhythm in my heart. The rhythm of joy.
Wishing you all a fulfilled day. God bless you.x

Thoughts

Now this is a backtrack of Saturday's event.
I attended women for Africa award as a Press for my Fashion Magazine and at this event were so many African women, very beautiful with so many gorgeous designs.
One of the attendees who is also the President of this organisation (Women 4 Africa), a Nigerian Celebrity: Stella Damasus. She enlightened everyone about the abuse of women in Africa with case studies. This got me thinking, African women are abused on a daily basis. Some were abused when they were little, others as teenagers and some while married. It has become a big issue around the world, most especially in Africa were there is no one to fight for them. We must all try our best in every way possible to help these women. I have started playing my part, and I implore you to start too.. no matter how little, one day we will be heard and domestic violence will cease.

Wisdom


This is something I've always admired, desperately wanted and prayed for. Following a sermon at church about a month or two ago, I prayed fervently for it.
I woke up this morning excited about life, because I got to learn that each day God gives us life is a gift and when he chooses to take it, we should thank God for it, because life itself is a struggle.
As I prepare to round up studying and everything relating to Academics at the moment, I get scared but something triggered: God's wisdom. It doesn't come cheap and when it comes, it includes all in one.
I thought of something to write on my blog today, not this... The blog that includes my articles (Emerald's Notebook). I noticed when I just write off my head, it doesn't come out as good as when I am led my HIS mighty hand. I finally found one of my previously written articles and I added just a little to it. I thank God for using me in people's life even as he speaks to me through the poems, novels and plays.
For every little gift, NEVER fail to PRAISE GOD.

Long time

I know it's been a while i wrote on here. I've been busy trying to finish up with Uni. Please don't forget to check out my other journal that has all my poems and novels.

Wordly or Godly?


Sitting back, staring curiously at thosemassive screens,
Those on screens, doing their job
And me having fun
The environment all cheerful,
It is a mini display of the Bible‘s Sodom & Gomorrah,
To the world it’s fun but to God it’s sin
Do I sit back or leave?
I love my friends so dearly,
“it is just a time to chill out; just a drink”
Walking into the house of drinks; the pub by name
Placing an order, not sinful or leading to sin
On my way out I see those I’m gradually leading
Bring along with me through this road of eternity
Do I cause them to derail or do I keep them on this path?
Sitting at home, a big massive sheet of paper,
Looking through different hairstyles, clothes and more
Will it lead me closer to Christ or keep me farther from Christ?
Flipping through hundreds of pages,
The story line so indulging, captivating and mind blowing
Wishing I had such a story
Does it get my heart to think pure or the way of the world?
For everything done, there is a checkpoint
Is it Wordly or Godly?

It's not hollywood

He made it perfectly,
created in him,
a likeness and example of us and him
to be honoured,
in purity,
of heart, mind and soul
keeping ourselves for that perfect one,
that perfect moment he has designed for us
to truly say and stand by the word "I do"
He has designed it for us to cherish every moment,
with that perfect person,
to share, love, respect and pray together
it is most beautiful when he designs this life
it is most beautiful with only God
He is the author of true romance, not Hollywood
And for this Lord, I'll wait.
