Spirit Pen Inspirations

Little things ( Written by Joy A. Adewumi ) I love to cuddle and snuggle under the warmth of my covers whenever the rain begins to drizzle. But then, I can't help but get goosebumps when I realise that this same weather I'm loving and relishing is what accounts for a bad day for someone else.  Someone out there in the dead cold of the night as the rain pours and I snore blissfully away is homeless and quaking to the bones.  I'm glad for the weather but he is wondering why God hates him so and then in those moments I pull off the sheets, pull my knees up and say "thank you Jesus!" You wake up each day and all you want is to raise the amount in your bank account by a wheeone with a less paying job is going crazy about how to come up with hundreds of thousands a week, to take care of his ailing aged mother.  You see, the littlest things, those ones that are supposedly normal, are sometimes the biggest miracles in our lives. Why? This is because we never asked for the...

While You Wait! (Written by Joy A. Adewumi) Okay before you discard this and move on to the next important thing, I'd like to say this is not an article talking about  waiting for that Mr/Miss Right.

However, I've learnt to take everything to God in prayer.  I'm a firm believer of the fact that God is interested in every aspect of our daily lives. He's aware of our desires, dreams and aspirations and when they...

...Written Aforetime (Written by Joy A. Adewumi) My Bible study plan has been taking me through the books of the Kings and the Chronicles of the Kings in recent times and if you are conversant with this part of the Bible, you'll most likely be able to relate with the tiny ray of hope you hold out for a each new King, especially of Judah, who ascends the throne. Each time you're probably thinking, "Maybe, just maybe this one would be better than his father, or maybe he'll serve God more wholeheartedly than his father."  Then somehow, he does something wrong and you are grossly disappointed especially if he started out well. Then you are just hoping somehow before he dies, he makes his way right with his God, but no written evidence proves he does. This rollercoaster has had me thinking and I can't help but remember that this characters were real people who lived at a time and that was the summary of their lives. Their mistakes, their stubbornness and their shor...
