The Waiting Series


ABÉLÉJAYÁN

  (The one who smokes fish for another)

    Falling in love with a co-worker


 

 Dear Abba’s Daughter, 

 Abéléjayán is a Yoruba word (South West Nigeria) which literally means you’re caring for someone who isn’t yours. Let’s look at this a little differently. As Abba’s daughters who love the Lord, and someday desire Kingdom marriages, we need to put the horse before the cart.  Our Father already knows we deserve the best. However, He would have us ‘smoke fish’ (purpose) for Him to satisfy His targets while we wait.

Remember the waiting isn’t exactly for a man.

 Just while you’re yet busy, smoking for Him, Abba gives you company, a co Abéléjayán! Lol.

Together you’ll smoke fish for a larger number of people to be satisfied with the Father’s will here on earth. In the Father’s will, there is perfect love and contentment.

 Dear Abba’s daughter, seek first our Father’s will. Contrary to the world’s definition of Abéléjayán, when you seek God’s kingdom first, all other things shall be added unto you.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;  and all these things shall be added unto you.”   (Matthew 6:33)

…while I wait, I will serve.

JESUS in Matthew’s account sheds light on this piece using the parable of the Talents. (See Matthew 25:14-30)

 I love you always, and I’m praying for you.

Wheels of Faith (a short story)- Ep 2

The Waiting Series   #Episode 2 Wheels of Faith  (a short story) Photo by Lum3n Beauty in chaos   “Oh, sorry… I’m Tolu. Toluwani Obim.   I’m currently part of a project for young people battling with suicidal thoughts.”  “Oh, wow, that’s a lot. Okay…?” She hoped he got the message. Why are you calling me? Who gave you my number, and why are you calling today of all days? Please, can you go straight to the point already! “I saw some of your art works at Twains store yesterday.” He sounded impressed. “I believe your artwork would surge many damped hopes.” Valery chuckled. Yeah right. Like it is surging mine right now. Holding the phone with her right hand, she tossed some empty cans in the waste bin with the other.   “Our team would love to work with you on a current project, if that’s fine?” Like a flash, memories of Seye flooded her again. From the voice, she could guess his age. Another young man interested in her artwork. Nah , she th...

You are FORGIVEN!

  The Waiting Series #1 March You are forgiven! How many times have you let go of Abba’s gifts and blessings because of that feeling of not being worthy? Like Joy, many are like her… Worn out and tired, she kept rolling on her bed. From side to side. She slowly opened her eyes wishing all the thoughts were mere imaginations. No, they were possibilities. Who will want a girl like me? She reached for her slippers and walked into the bathroom like a helpless child.  Maybe I am helpless after all.   She knew the truth better than that lie, but how do you taste the sweetness of the truth when your mouth is filled with wormwood? The lady she was starring at in the mirror looked very different from the one her SH called beautiful just a while ago. Maybe she was looking in the wrong mirror. Truth is she’s been looking too long in the wrong mirror to remember the one her SH calls beautiful. She took a wipe from the pack on the mirror stand. Trying to wipe out her tears, another ro...
