Layò Writes You

Dear reader & believer, it is my prayer that you find your answers here and the Holy Spirit does the work of quickening in you by making sure you stay strong in Him.  Please, read with an open heart and as slowly as you can, shunning all distractions. God bless you, Amen. Last week, we talked about the strong man in the context of Matthew 12:22-30. (If you haven't, kindly read it before continuing so you understand this concluding episode better. Click here now ) If you read Matthew 12:29 alone, you'll understand that the strong man can be anybody. A believer/saved man is a strong man because he now houses the excellency of God's power.  A man in Christ is a strong man  because he is under the one who is greater than the god of this World.  He's stronger than principalities and powers, he's stronger than the devil and commands as much power to displace his men from their habitat(s). Samson was indeed a strong man. He killed 1000 people with the jaw bone of an as...

 Read, as slowly as you can and with an open mind too. God bless you.  Chris sat at table with his dad to eat. It was one of those days Suzanne decided to treat her husband and her 5-year-old son to special meals. Carefully, Chris made sure every grain from his plate disappeared into his mouth. Then, he got ready to pounce on the chicken thigh in his plate.  Seeing this, his dad stood up quietly and went to his back. He held Chris' two hands with one hand and with the other hand ate from his meat.  By the time Chris managed to wriggle free from his hold, a large portion of his meat was already gone.  You might want to call Chris' father an Àgbáyà (an adult bully). Well, you can't blame him much. Chris started the whole game; only that he had been unsuccessful in all his trials. "How can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house," [Matt. 12:29 BSB] Analyzing this story, Chris...

Dear Believer,  Thank you for opening the 7th episode, 6th tendency in this believer series. Even as you read about this last episode, I pray that your eyes are opened to see. Your testimony is around the corner because there's no more hindrance. Amen. If you have missed any of the tendency series, get the link now so you don't miss out any more. Cheers.  In the Yoruba culture, (a predominant culture in Nigeria), when an elder gives a child something, it is expected that the child prostrates to say thank you. That's a sign of good upbringing to them; and it increases verbal blessings.  If the child says thank you and doesn't prostate or kneel well, they don't believe s/he has tendered his/her appreciation rightly. Think of someone you have done quite much for and did not appreciate it. You must have felt unhappy, cheated and disappointed.  Now, be careful not to start nailing old errors. I'm not saying you should start regretting doing the person so much favor...
