Diary of Ige

Hagar comes to mind and I remember the difficulty she passed through raising her son all alone. In the beginning, she had no choice in the decision that was being made concerning her journey into motherhood, she was after all, a slave. This decision was made by her mistress, who only saw Hagar as an object to be used.   The Bible tells us Sarah took the maid and gave her to her Husband to be his second wife, her consent was never sought. Bible Reference: Genesis 16  There was always going t o be some problem with this arrangement, and it began from the moment Hagar knew she was pregnant. At last! she had an upper hand against her mistress, she thought, so that ugly human attribute reared its head: arrogance. This ensured that she was already on the run even before her baby was born. She fled when Sarah decided to take steps to remind her she was still the Boss! It was at this point she faced the risk of raising this unborn child alone had God not come to her help. When the ang

So recently I was referred to a movie on YouTube called ‘The Train’, a movie by Mount Zion Film Production based in Nigeria. I remember as a child I had watched their movies such as Agbara Nla (Ultimate Power) and Apoti Eri (Ark of the Covenant) , perhaps these two movies will only be familiar to some but not all Nigerians as I believe Nollywood movies are more known and also these two movies are pretty old.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a long list of Nollywood movies I have seen over time and enjoyed in some ways and still do but not as profoundly as MZFM movies.

Hope you have all been keeping well?  It has been a minute since I have been on here. Trying to keep a balance with so many things…. No excuse, I haven’t got more on my plate than the next person! Still praying about this COVID-19 situation, mercy is all we need and what we will get! I wanted to share a quick thought: a bible verse came to my mind recently when I was having a chat with a friend. It is found in Romans 12 vs 18 (Amplified Version) : If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. I came across this bible verse as a teenager and I remember my understanding of it helped to improve relationships with my siblings and my general outlook on all relationships. Rather than complain about the way they behaved towards me, I focused on my behaviour and it’s impact on them and others and allowed that to guide me in managing certain situations. That does not mean I won’t call people out if they are acting unreasonable, I will just ensure my own actions ha
