When you feel lonely-Akuruyejo Olorunfemi

Loneliness could be devastating to your self-worth, it is a tool in the hands of the devil to make you slip into depression so you can do silly things, so you can be down, disconsolate. loneliness has made many to resort to filthy actions like masturbation, pornography, smoking, e.t.c
Here are the few things you can do, all of which are from my personal experience:
1. you have got to have friends, do not live like an hermit, do not live an isolated life, without friends, you'd just be like a cardboard cut-out. your friends may not be many but make sure you have few that does the right things and your friends should be those that won't lead you into doing wrong things.
2. when you feel lonely, just pick your phone and call friends and family (maybe 1 or 2 people),ask how they are doing and laugh with them, then you'd know you are not alone.
3. when you feel lonely, it may be due to fatigue. so relax, play games, chat with friends
4. you can also take your hymn book and sing whenever you feel lonely, you can listen to messages, music, watch videos and forget loneliness.
5. if the above recipe do not work, then pray the same prayer David prayed  when he felt lonely. "Turn to me and be gracious to me for I am lonely and afflicted, the troubles of  y heart have multiplied..." (Psalms 25:16-17). All you need is in God's word, meditate on the bible and look for the promises God has for you, He has granted you peace already (John 14:27) so tap into it and have peace of mind. you can evict your fears when you realize he cares for you.
Remember that loneliness is not the absence of people, it's the absence of purpose, it's not the absence of riches, it's the absence of direction. Today, find a purpose, a passion, a goal or a vision to pursue and it will be less likely to feel lonely. stay blessed, focused and happy 😃😃.
DO YOU MIND SHARING WITH US, HOW DEVASTATING LONELINESS CAN BE, AND HOW YOU HAVE OVERCOME LONELINESS IN THE PAST? C'MON, ADD TO THE LIST.

My First Mother's Day Celebration

        So, I got to church today (Foursquare Gospel Church, aba Ibeji, Ibadan) and discovered today is Mothers' day. the church attached much importance to the celebration that the whole service was dedicated to the mothers, I almost got fed up during the sunday school when the whole teaching was about motherhood but as the service went on, I couldn't but realize how insensitive I have been to the lesson the church was teaching by dedicating a whole service to celebrate mothers. I have never celebrated one before, besides, many mothers' day celebration comes up during the year which leaves one in awe the exact day of the celebration but the question is; Is mothers' day worth the celebration?        Anyways, let me introduce to you my mum. my mum was born into a muslim, polygamous background, deserted by her 'jayejaye' mother, she couldn't get educated as she has to be brought up by her step-sister who felt cos she, herself didnt g...

Celebrating my dad on this Fathers' day

      In case you don't know, Fathers' day is celebrated on every third Sunday of June in this part of the world though I just learnt that today too. Fathers' day is not as common as Mothers' day if you observe and that is often attributed to the parental bond being stronger between the mother and the children than with the Father. or who do you love more , your mum or your dad? some dad can be too harsh, too busy to give attention to their children, u know? smiles ... do you think it's worth celebrating such dads?     First of all, who is a Father? A father is a man matured enough not just to produce children but to protect and provide for his family. A father is a visioneer, a leader, head and number 1 in the family. He is a representative of the Godhead in the family, he must be strong enough for his wife to lean on and be wise enough to earn the trust of his children. this definition is not exhaustive though but this is not supposed to be a t...

OPPORTUNITY VS PREPARATION

         Today, I feel like sharing a true life story with you and i need your perspective really, so don't leave this page without leaving your thoughts, muah! I trust you          There is a very wealthy man in Nigeria, a multimillionaire, he has several companies and is making money big time, he is a christian, well-spoken off by all and sundry but in one of his companies, he has his nephews(sons of his brother) working in his factory, being a production comapny and the guys earn just #16,000 per month as other junior staffs. such a short story it is, the controversy now is, why can't he help this close relatives of his more than this? A school of thought says he is supposed to set them up in a business or just give them a large chunk of money, that it's unethical to have his relatives do such jobs despite their lack of education. Another school of thought says it serves them right for he cannot make th...
