Do you believe that no man born of a woman or snatched from her womb (did you see what I did here๐?) can ever stop your progress? I read a book some years ago by Zac Poonen that settled this in my mind. Forgive me, I can't remember the name.

Lord, When Can I Practice This My Hot Slap?
I said I would not talk but I can't hold myself. I said I would fashi the matter but my body is doing me somehow. I said, "Chioma, wait till tomorrow when you may be calmer but my blood dey boil."

Tonight is one of those nights I spend wondering about money. “Lord, that power to make wealth you talked about, explain it small, please. Are you still giving it to me abi, you already gave it cause I don’t understand these days…” Then I proceed to the self-pity stage.

Mouth Weightlifting Champions Amongst Us
Even if you’re the National Mouth Weightlifting Champion or plan a future as one, why is your mouth this heavy? I came today to forcefully discourage you from this career path because it cannot take you anywhere. My dear when you see something you like, just say so. It removes nothing from you but adds everything. Make giving compliments a part of you. “Sis, I love your hair. How did you get that twist!” “Congrats on that new certificate. Oh boy, I’ll like to do the same one day.” “My brother, that shoe is it for two?” “I love that presentation you did. I have never seen it in that…

Have You Met a Programming Guru Today?
