HOLIDAY BLUES

Remember how we were all really wishing for the holiday to commence?

Exams!!; our mortal enemies.

Usually, when the holiday finally starts, we realize how bored we are going to be just a few days in.

It dawns on us that we’re also going to be richly broke; *sigh*, no more pocket money. 

Now we start wishing school was back in session.

So, there you have it, the life cycle of most of us students-on-holidays.

Some of us actually planned ahead and prepared tightly for this ‘desert experience’, here’s what we did: we packed our phones, laptops, flash drives and external hard drives full of movies! yes, and some series too! Oh, and we plan to drown ourselves in them.

 Some of them we’ve been saving and stacking up since the beginning of semester, and as we say ‘after exam, even if na billboard, I no go read’.

Well, nice plan you’ve got there fam!!, way to plan ahead.

But, that’s not all there should be to this holiday.

He He He, someone is probably saying “no carry your blues come spoil my reggae o” …. or is it the other way round.

We want you to have fun…you deserve it, last session was errh… terrific…we won’t be killjoys but, yes!! We loves you!!...till Jesus comes… CFi love is plural- that’s how we roll!! *wink*

We don’t want you to lose life.

We gained so much life last tenure, it was breathtaking and life changing how Jesus sat us down and taught us.

You see, eternal life is a ‘funny’ thing. God embedded such a high substance in simple instructions. Instructions like ‘keep the fellowship of the brethren’, ‘build up your most holy faith praying in the holy ghost’, ‘…faith comes by hearing... and hearing the word of God’, ‘evil communication corrupts good manners’…

They are simple and really look trivial, but through them God is doing a work in your soul!

This holiday:

           

1. Keep the fellowship of the brethren – famz brethren like mad, check up on them, call, text, chat up. Let them know what you’re going through, make them tell you what they’re going through, encourage them, bless and pray with them, skype them, ping them, send me recharge card…eh, I mean send them. Don’t just isolate yourself from the brethren, if Satan wants to attack a fold he starts with the lone sheep. Se you get?
2.  Pray in the spirit – Don’t stand up from that bed in the morning if you’ve not ‘cabashed’, don’t shout oh and wake your roomies, they will just beat you. Just make sure you communicate with area command.  Nathaniel bassey calls it a spiritual software. Pray in other tongues everyday…. I’m serious oh!
3. Stay in the Word – faith comes by hearing…and what do we hear? God’s Word. Don’t settle for motivational talk, don’t settle for Linda Ikeji or Bella Naija. spend time soaking and baptizing yourself in the Word. Goddit? Good.
4. Stay ‘talkingly’ pure – yels, you must never entangle yourself with vain talking, foolish talking, or evil talking. Mind how you jest. Some people will just open their mouth down and life will be leaking like rain.

Are you still here?

Oya, assimilate fast fast and obey oh…. about those movies…we go talk that one later...
