Grace abounds much more.

Hello there!

How was June? Hope you've all done your BVN? Trust Nigerians to wait till the last minute to do everything! Anyway, the Central Bank of Nigeria has extended the closing date to October 31st 2015. Shout out to everyone that spent the whole day queuing at the bank, don't procrastinate next time. *Hugs*

I listened to Swoope's Sinema album for the first time today and that album is deep! I had goosebumps at some point! The last two tracks on that album was spot on! The album was an audio movie if there's anything like that and carries a message about our struggle as Christians with sinful desires. The lyrics had so much depth and this made me think. Recently, I have seen a lot of young people do amazing things. From music, to fashion, to business, to arts,to rendering services and any other thing you can think of. This reminds me of the scripture that says "where sin abounds, grace abounds much more". Let me explain further.

It is very common to hear things like "I fear for this generation" "this is a wasted and lawless generation" "this generation is doomed for destruction" yadah, yadah, yadah.
Statements like these annoy me.

I am not ignorant of the fact that moral decadence is prevalent in this generation but I am of the opinion that we have two extremes.
On one end of the pole, there is decadence, immorality, the whole nine yards.
On the other end, there is good, so much talent and creativity. I'm amazed at the things young people do. I am particularly amazed at the wonderful things a lot of young Christians are doing. I get engaged in conversations with other young people and I am blown away because the world hasn't seen half of what this generation has to offer.

I am very wary of older that people that are quick to judge young people. Especially some "agbalagbas" in Nigeria. I always wonder; Which generation put Nigeria in the mess we're in now? Which generation looted and bled this country dry? Which generation produced the Sugar Daddies that "arisotos" follow?
Anyway, I am not here to start a "war of generations", I respect and value the opinions of those older than I am. My point is this, never let anyone, look down on you, yes you, because of your age. If God has placed a dream in your heart, follow it, because that is what will give you fulfilment. Never be afraid to say the truth. I believe that as much as there it is getting harder to stand for the truth, more grace is available for us.
I don't believe in the condemnation rhetoric about this generation. I believe in the grace of God that is available for us.


"Romans:5vs20 But where sin increased, grace increased all the more"

P.S. Speaking of young people doing amazing things, a lil birdie told me about a young woman that started her own make up and event management company! You can find out more about her company and the services she offers here.

Love and Light,
