Life is Short but you can Conquer

By Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

Life is short. As you enjoy the beautiful earth, be careful because the waster, the devil, he walks to and fro seeking whom to devour. 1Peter 5:8, “Be sober-minded and be watchful. Your adversary the devil walks to and fro like a lion, seeking whom to devour.” The devil does not need your approval or permission to strike or put you under pressure. Do not be the worst enemy of your own life. Live a decent life and embrace holiness without which no human shall see God. Hebrews 12:14, “Strive for peace with everyone and for holiness without which no man shall see God.”

You may wonder how it is possible to be the worst enemy of yourself. Anyone that fails to acknowledge God and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and savior is on the highway to hell. A man who is the worst enemy of himself is like the poor soul that dug a hole and finally falls into it. As a man thinks, so he is. Be free from habits that will ruin your future. There must be a striking resemblance between your lifestyle and that of Jesus Christ. That is when you will be a Christian. “…and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year, they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians,” Acts 11:26.

You can conquer sin. You will become as pure as gold if you embrace Jesus. Do not despise God’s gracious act of mercy. Forgiveness is on the agenda because God loves you. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” There is room for you in God. You can fight for survival because it is within your rights to choose the kind of life you want to live. I will suggest you choose a good life in Christ Jesus. Sin will drag you away from the right path. “For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord,” Romans 6:23.

You cannot win against God. The bible says all things are yours. You can rule and possess the earth as a child of God. Let no one deceive you. Being born again is not a death sentence. It does not mean you have signed a pact with poverty. It only means you have decided to embrace the supernatural and rule in the affair of men. God is ever ready to save you! Make yourself available and you be redeemed from the cruel hands of the enemy. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 11: 28, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”

You do not have to live contrary to God’s will before you can get the best out of life. Remember, no one goes to the grave with all he acquired here on earth. As humans, you can lead and enjoy a good life. Nothing will stop you from achieving your goal if you have Jesus Christ. You will win because Jesus has paid the price for you! Embrace the truth and be free.

From the novel entitled, "Beyond Imagination" by Oladele Dada.

Oladele Dada. It was dawn. The chilly dust-laden wind formed dense fog on the road. The rocky hills and the tall trees made Ajewole a beautiful town. The birds sang aloud, and clanging of stainless dishes in the neighbourhood suggested human activity was at its peak. Humans had begun to move to their various destinations. Adunni had trouble with child bearing and her husband was worried. Then she booked an appointment with her doctor. After several tests, the doctor suggested the couple be patient and that she will surely get pregnant. Not long after, Adunni was pregnant. After several months, Adunni was delivered of a boy. The women in her neighbourhood, alongside the children, sang and danced to her home to celebrate with her. Her husband, Fredrick Olagbade, thanked the Lord and named the boy Juwon. As Juwon grew, his mother had another child whose name was Olakitan. Juwon was intelligent and his parents were struggling to make ends meet. As poverty st...

BOOK EXCERPT: The Farmhouse by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

The Farmhouse by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren Chapter One The Family `Once upon a time in the old town of Gid, an old farmer called Erasmus had a horse and a son. The boy’s name was Jason, and the horse was Francis. They lived in a farmhouse, and Francis took them everywhere they went. The farmer had no wife. She died after Jason was born. Erasmus vowed never to remarry and had remained a widower ever since. Taking care of Jason and Francis alone was never easy, but the farmer promised his late wife on her deathbed that he was going to raise Jason into a fine man. One sad morning, the cockerel said it was dawn. The disturbance woke Jason. The boy stormed out of sleep. He removed the blanket and rolled out of bed. He went to the window and peered out. The weather was clear, and the boughs of trees bowed and danced to the sweet movement of the morning breeze. Jason liked the morning, and then he carried himself to the sitting room, where his father was on his knees saying his morning prayers....

NEW RELEASE: Those Ghostly Victorians by Annette Siketa

Those Ghostly Victorians by Annette Siketa ABOUT THE BOOK At its zenith, the belief in ghosts in the Victorian era bordered on the hysterical. From stately homes to deserted wells, no dwelling was complete without a resident ghost. Halls and mansions and even the odd palace or two, spawned a multitude of family legends, many of which still persist. Many people claimed to have direct contact with a ghost through an object such as a ouija board or a pen, the latter collectively known as 'spiritual writing'. For example, a secretary allegedly continued to take dictation from his employer long after the latter was dead. Whether it was through books, plays, or supposedly true stories, the influence of the supernatural was profound. And it is not difficult to understand why, especially in the 'lower class', the majority of whom were uneducated. With nothing but drabness and poverty on the horizon, events such as a windy night or a violent storm were likely to set the ima...
