NOW READING: 'THE POWER OF RIGHT BELIEVING' BY JOSEPH PRINCE

The Lord is compassionate and gracious; slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. - Psalm 103: 8-12

Hello BGBians,

How have you been? Wishing you the best in the rest of the week, month & year.

I just thought I share with my readers from this book I just finished reading today.  It titled ‘The Power of Right Believing’ by Pastor Joseph Prince. He is a pastor based in Singapore whose ministry preaches the grace of God.

I have always been fascinated with him when I started to watch him preach on TBN. His program airs then immediately after Joyce Meyer (my mentor). He takes his times to breakdown the scriptures, give insightful examples and illustrations. Now that I am opportune to read his book I am most glad I bought the book. It has been an eye opener I learnt a lot and saw God in a whole new perspective and even various popular scriptures were seen in a whole new light. It was as if a light was switched on.

Another thing I love about his writing is how through the power of imagination and taking every little detail surrounding a story in the scripture or a verse (as he says no detail is insignificant) he represents same story and you are like ‘Ah-ah’.

I am going to share his own recount of the story of the Samaritan woman Jesus met at the well.

So, what do you think?

This book talks about the grace of God through Christ- the unmerited, unworked for, freely given favour of God. The power to believe right that grace supersedes the law, all your sins past, present and future has been forgiven in Christ when He died. It says that when God sees us he sees the righteousness of Christ and not our righteousness. It tells of how we should not give hold to the devil when we feel incapable after falling into sin, but believe that the work of Christ on the cross has qualified us from all guilt, fears, addictions etc.

God love you no matter what you do, you are doing or will do. Come to HIM.

With love,

Bummiegherit!

OFFENCES: DO YOU TAKE OR GIVE IT?

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/78563000/jpg/_78563893_77548077.jpg

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!- Luke 17: 1

Hello BGBians,

Happy new week and happy new month too! May it be a fulfilling one.

I was just going a note on my phone now so I thought I share it with my readers. I took the note while I was listening to Joyce Meyer sometime back. I love this woman, she is my role model.

Types of Offence

1. You take offence

Refuse to be offended. Don't take offence even when someone hands it to you. Taking offence is unproductive. It even steals your joy, energy and even health. Guess what! It produces nothing.

2. Give offence: Think b4 u talk

3. Get offended by truth

4. Get offended by trouble

5. Get Offended by God

6. Offend the Holy spirit

Points:

Offense keeps us from loving people. We think it’s no big deal but those little things keep us from getting our prayers answered. No other man should be responsible for your happiness.

Your value should not be determined by how somebody else has treated you. Mk 11:22-25

Champions refuse to be offended! E.g. David -when Samuel came to anoint the future King he was not even considered and he dint take offense at that.

Don't ever complain when you are lonely; take it as a time to know God! -ask David

Don't let anybody diminish or minimise you because they feel what u r doing is little.  As far as you are doing the part God wants you to do you are just as good as others!

Covering offences:

Love covers a multitude of sins

Noah: Gen 9:21-23; His drunkenness and nakedness were his shortcoming. One of his sons saw it and told it; while d other two sons did not look but rather covered his nakedness (shortcoming).

We can get blessings from God if we don't tell somebody else about others weakness but rather cover it by praying for them. Just like the other sons that covered their father’s nakedness.

When someone offends you go to d person first and clear the air! Matthew 18:15

People easily offended are selfish, insecure, negative, easy mark for satan, miserable, angry & not free and it hinders God's plan for their lives.

Hope you are able to learn one or two things from this.

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!- Luke 17: 1

POEM: CREATURE IN THE SKIES

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork. Psalm 19:1

Hello BGBians,


How was your weekend? Just thought I share this poem with you. It's my one of the very first few I have attempted to pen. I wrote this one of those days i was stuck in Lagos traffic. So I just sat there stuck in the front seat (thankfully) of a bus on the Third Mainland Bridge, stared out the window and saw this beautiful crescent staring at me, so i pick my phone and wrote:


CREATURE IN THE SKIES- Bunmi Yomi


I look at you and you seem complete
But I know you are not
A little bit more to make you complete
Few more days and there you are!

Like a sickly plantain stick you start
White? Cream? Can't tell
But beautiful you still are
Tiny creatures in you

Spherical you are to me
But I know like the world, Round
Filled with a million and one creatures
My mind would create at your sight

Hidden behind the dark curtains
In the sky
The waters reflects your beauty
This beauty reflects creativity

I'm captured!
Tell me what you feel!


With Love!

Bummiegherit!

NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE!

Verse for Today: Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.-Romans 12 vs 2 (MSG)

Hello BGBians,

Here are some new things will be added to this blog. First, every blog post will begin and end with a verse of the Scripture because, I believe in the power in the BIBLE, the WORD of GOD. I also know and I’m sure that all events recorded in it are no fable.

Secondly, there will be a ‘Now Reading’ posts from time to time. As the saying goes ‘Readers are Leaders’. Posting about the book I am reading makes me accountable to my readers and accountability will help me overcome procrastination and laziness.

Also, I will have the ‘Now Sewing’ post too. I am not just the “boring boring read-your-bible, pray-everyday, read-your-book lady”, I love fashion, Music (Gospel-any genre is good enough for me), DIY and i love to experiment with hair treats for my hair too. So posts will be coming from all of these sides of me.

All these and many more will be coming to you all soon!

Watch Out!

With love!

WOW! IT'S BEEN A LOOOOOOOOONG WHILE

Verse for Today:  So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. - Romans 12 vs 1 (MSG)

Hello BGBians,

Been a long, long, looooooooooooooooooooooong while. Apologies. Wow! It feels good to be back on here. I thank God for my life and i thank God for yours too. Hope you all are doing great!

So many things have happened in these past few months, but I still judge God faithful through it all. All year, even till this present moment I have been trying to discover myself, say no to the old me, break out of my shell, and most importantly improve myself. It’s not been an easy journey, but I have discovered a lot about myself that I can imagine. I am still a ‘work-in-progress’ and I know I will continue to get better.

                                  

So to my readers out there, I advise you to continue to be a better you. As the 7^th habit in Covey’s ‘Seven Habits of Highly Effective People’ states ‘Sharpen the Saw’.  Get better, know more, learn more, read more and most importantly pray more.

With love!

THE EARPIECE POUCH

Hello BGBians!


We all  Most of us love to listen to music on our phones and for someone like me I cannot afford not to listen to music while I wade through traffic when going to work or heading back home. Therefore apart from making sure I don't forget my phone I try as much as possible not to forget my ear bud/piece at home. But one thing I don't like is the fact that my earpiece tangles and I have to tug and tug before I could get it out of my bag then struggling to untangle it. Now i don't have to worry about all that again!

I was browsing through the internet and I stumbled on some blogs and websites with a solution. I read through their various write ups and downloaded the pattern and I created mine.

Here is it

I have been rocking my pouch since I made it and I don't have to bother about tangling and tugging. Would you rock this?

I bring out my earpiece with swagger now lol

P.S.: Don't mind my scaloping sewing o! ;)


XOXO
