Limitless

Welcome to Limitless.  Here’s my line of reasoning: God is highly interested in weak men. At the lowest where you feel like you’ve hit your breaking point, it piques God’s interest even more. Am I here to sputter rubbish. By no means. Let me show you my basis.  Consider Apostle Paul’s exchange with Jesus in 2Cor 12:8-10. There is a whole context to this, but let’s start from verse 8.  “Three times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time He said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”  “So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.” Verse 8 and God’s response to Apostle Paul in 9 seems to me like God wanted him to admit that he was weak.  My question now is, who on earth boasts about their weaknesses?  I think I have an idea- someone who has admitted that she is a weak woman, and who would allow Christ’s strength to be perfected in her weaknesses.  For the past few weeks, I hav...

Morolake, give this body some extra little break.  Then, I receive a call. Hoping it’s not a work call, I lazily pick up my phone, “oh it’s my dad”… I check the time, 7:45am. Why so early?

I stare intently at the bottle of groundnut sitting pretty on my island. I really need to cook, or I might just keep living on bread and those two-bite chocolate croissants which is bad because believe it or not, I’ve been gaining weight. Impressive.  I sit and wonder if this is the new life to embrace. This hectic, busy, adult life. Every day is a dramatic one, and most likely a rollercoaster. Am I embracing this n...

Photo from Patryk Sobczack on Unsplash.  Welcome to Limitless!  I was watching a Q and A session with TrueTalkwithTED, and one of the questions they dealt with was on loneliness and completeness. Their answers made so much sense.  I find that loneliness is one thing that we need to deal with before getting into a relationship. It might often not be the case, but getting into a relationship because you are lonely is a recipe for relationship strains. I would rather get used to my own company and be content with my single season than impose my ‘loneliness’ on another human.  I guess that’s why there’s a difference between aloneness and loneliness.  I find that some people place so much of a high expectation on their partner in order to solve that loneliness. Then, they discover that it’s not working, and they start to think their partner is not giving their best. lol. You sure about that?  You’ve just gotta be comfortable with your own company. Most times, pe...
