WELCOME!!!

Hi,

This is my first time creating and using a blog. Hmmm... Still don't have a hang of how it works but it looks quite simple so far. For so many years I have written all sorts in journals and kept them in my closet. A lot of these journals have been infested by insects who have obviously found a better use for them than I. If insects had not discovered them, mould and mildew certainly settled in and now they are no more.

Recently, I stumbled on one of the journals I wrote in 2007 and was reading through it and I had to ask myself one question... so whose life has been blessed by all these words and deep revs I've received from the Throne room of God? Well, other than the insects, I am ashamed to say NO ONE!

So today, I'm grateful to God for the wisdom he has given man to create something called the Internet, the WW, and more importantly, blogs like this where simply regular people like me can pour out what God drops on my mind and hope that someday, somewhere, someone can read it and be positively influenced by the words that they read. Maybe one day it may save a life from suicide, maybe it may save a marriage from divorce or maybe it just may simply give someone a real quick and simple recipe for Sunday's dinner (oh yes I looovee food and I love to cook tooo...hhhmmm).

Whatever the case, I pray that this blog will bring like minds together to discuss and pray about issues of everyday Christian living in Lagos, Nigeria (yep, that's where I live...the land of the happiest people in the world). You may wish to post a comment on anything you think is worth sharing about or maybe just read and laugh, hey, its all up to you.

Just relax and enjoy KOXIE'S DIARIES.

The Enemy Called Mediocrity

Image
Recently I preached a message called The Enemy called Mediocrity in church. The message was God's specific word to me for the year 2013. It felt like He was preaching to me! He was screaming at me and scolding me to get my butt off my sedentary lifestyle and live my life to the full; to empty myself of all that He had deposited in me so that I don't go to my grave full. I dare say my life hasn't been the same since that day and I feel I must put this message up somewhere where it can be accessed and read by someone... someday... Who knows, by reading this, your life might receive that same dramatic change mine did. Below is an excerpt from that message:  Mediocrity means moderate to inferior in quality; lacking exceptional quality or ability; having undesirable or negative qualities; not very good or great, ordinary, average, second-rate, insignificant. Mediocrity is a silent, yet deadly enemy of man’s destiny and purpose; many fall into its trap at some point

TIME & CHANCE

Yesterday morning, after writing my diary entries, I went through the old blogs and felt I wasn’t getting as much visitors, comments and encouragement as I would have loved to. I started getting worked up and then all sorts of thoughts started flying through my head….maybe my diary is boring, maybe I don’t really have something worth telling the world, maybe I wasn’t good enough as I imagined… Then again I thought it could be that I wasn’t spreading the word fast enough, I wasn’t telling enough people… Then I started thinking, ok, maybe I should start forwarding the link to everyone on my address book (I think I already did that!) and then maybe I should post the link DAILY on Facebook, maybe I should join other networking sites, maybe I should make announcements in my church, in my office, everywhere. Trust me, I thought of all sorts! Just before I clicked send on the post I forwarded to friends yesterday, I heard the Holy Spirit tell me “Do not send your posts to anyone anymore.

SURPRISE!!!!!

In my church we have this wonderful elderly woman we fondly call “Grandma” (pronounced the Nigerian way oh! LOL..). She was an active member of the parish for so many years until sometime last year when she fell ill and became bed ridden. Not only was she an active member, she was regarded as some sort of Matron to all the children of the church. She showered the kids (and everyone really) with so much love; buying gifts, cakes and sweets at every opportunity (I guess that’s what endeared the kids to her the most!). I remember very well that whenever the kids saw her entering the gate of the church, you’d see a host of them running towards her and almost throwing her down with their hugs and kisses. They’d grab her bag, her bible and sometimes even her walking stick at which point she’d tell them to just hold it with her as she walked in. We’ve missed those memorable days with Grandma. Anyway, since we hadn’t seen Grandma (at least not as a group) in months, last week Sunday, the t
