WHO'S YOUR DADDY?

There I was watching a video clip of this little south African girl on a talent show and she was so good with her spoken words and yes she did win the whole competition but this isn't about her it's about my naive self. Just after I watched one of her videos I was blown away and what instantly came to my mind was ''hmm I need to make a name for myself oh'' and that same mind of mine was quick to give a response: ''but first you need to realise what your surname is''.

Don't get it twisted, I know my surname lol but it's not that surname my mind is talking about here. Now, let me take you on a mind blowing journey

Scenario: Lets say you were born into a family where your daddy was a farmer and your mummy was a petty trader and whatever money they got went towards feeding the family and sending ONLY the first child to school because there was no money for anything else. oh, forgot to add you have six siblings and you live in a one room apartment (yes, that kind of struggle). One hot afternoon, you were just coming from the farm with your dad and siblings and the doctor from the hospital you were born says you were switched at birth due to the negligence of the nurse on duty the night of your birth.

*to cut the long story short*

you find out that your birth father is actually Aliko Dangote.

Quick questions; are you going to be so modest and say this is the family you've known all your life so things should be left as they are OR are you going to do everything you can to get whatever benefits you should get considering your new knowledge of who your birth father is? (OK, maybe that wasn't a 'quick question' lol). But really, think about it.... in fact, I'm not only going to get 'goodies' for myself, I'll get my family out of their present situation so they can have a better life.

where am i going with this?,

I have a Father...

He is El Shaddai (all sufficient God)
He is El Roi (The strong one who sees): oya come and fight me? :p
Jehovah Jireh, (great provider): why should I lack anything?
Jehovah Shalom (the prince of peace): why should I be troubled or at war?
Jehovah Rapha (The Lord my healer): why should I be ill?

As soon as you realise all of these things, you're in a good place...

BUT REMEMBER: Just like every father, being 'naughty' can hinder the 'luxuries' from coming.. He would only give you what he deems necessary, like right now you're breathing. So, always be on Daddy's good side so He can spoil you because there's more from where that air came from.

HINT: let me share a little secrete with you *shhhh* I'm not promising but one way to get Daddy to unleash His 'bag of goodies' on you is just one simple thing: PRAISE HIM

TWO DECADES

My dearest readers, I know I haven't written anything for so long, I have been super busy.

I'm writing today because it's a special day. What's so special about today you may ask, well, there are two things: God woke me up today and it's my birthday and I just want to express my gratitude....

To God, You have been faithful even in times I have been unfaithful. You give me the most amazing gifts and most of the time I don't deserve them. You are my best friend and I love you so much. Thank you for another day. Thank you for your provision and protection. Thank you for the daily showers of blessings. Thank you for helping me to be a better me... Thank you for everything. Although I've had LOTS of hiccups in my life but you're always right there by me with a glass of water. I would say 'God bless you' but You alone are God and I will worship you until my last breath. 

To my dearest parents, you have been there for me since I was born, made sure I had everything I needed. You put my sister and I first. Ever caring, ever loving. Scolding me when I attempt being naughty (hardly ever happened, I was and still am a 'stress free' child). I would choose you as my parents again if I had too... My love for you is unconditional and I appreciate you and thank God for giving me to you both. Love You to the moon and back!

To my beautiful sister, Adenikemi I know we have a lot of fights but i'm sure most siblings do. Especially when  it's just you and I, "if I don't fight with you who will?" Lol. My love, you have no idea how thankful I am that you are my sister. You mean so much to me and I love you dearly. I pray God grants all your heart desires. GOD bless you honey!! xx

My amazing friends,
◆we fight
◆we don't check up on each other
◆we feed each other sometimes
◆pray together
◆cook together
◆we're broke together
◆rich together (sometimes you're rich without me lol)
.....I could go on with many silly things but you all are amazing and I pray for you all the time and I love you xxxx

RY family, I know I just met you guys but there's nothing like being in a group with youths who love God and individually, you are all amazing. God bless you.
P.S the highlight of my year was joining RY (Radical Youths).

All that being said, I thank God for a new year. Many more decades to come by His Grace. HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLUWADAMILOJU AYOTOMI AROYEWUN
