FeyVored

This post is inspired from a movie called Wasted Oil, a Nigerian Gospel movie that I am currently watching as I type. "...And seek the Kingdom of God first, and righteousness,  and all other things will be added unto you" The word and   is used in a place of succession similar to then, thereafter, afterwards, so that- these are words and phrases used to describe what will come in the latter, a consequence of an action. It's usual to misinterpret this verse as the word and has been replaced mentally with the likes of as, whilst, during- words that show simultaneity. Think of carts attached to horses. A cart is not pushed forward by the horses muzzle, instead, it is drawn from behind the horse's saddle. The cartwright has designed it that the cart will be (nearly) impossible to move if pushed forward. And so it is for us; consequences do not come before actions. Deuteronomy 8:1 "Obey faithfully... so that you may live" There is alw...

Hi. I am FeyVored. I have been called to seek the Kingdom of God and righteousness, FIRST, before anything else. Anything at all; whether it be fame, money or even recognition. This is my resolve, and every thing that I may write here to inspire  you must FIRST come from God. I am a servant. I am not the one that eyes should be set on. I look to THE ONE who gained the victory. I place God first. As for me, I am Second. For more testimonies, visit http://www.iamsecond.com/

I turned 20 two months ago. This means I am no longer "a 19-year old freelance writer" as it is written on my blog's mini-bio. I have noticed now that it was a sunny day, just like this one, and a day I felt drenched with love. Again, just like this one. The year of 19 was slightly awkward and laborious for me. It involved a lot of "finding my feet" and striving to achieve goals before the big clock struck 20. Many of these goals cannot even be remembered. They were not solid and more importantly, they were not even relevant to my purpose. I decided to take a blogger's break to see if any other talent would spring up, itching to be used. Something else did and I realised that I am actually quite good in telling stories with pictures. Be mindful that I am not blowing my own trumpet, I am only grateful that in 19 , a buried treasure was dug up. So here's 20. I have made a  personal resolution for this year- to let go and let GOD. I know it is not...

Remembrance Day It is not merely a time to recognise the fighters it is one of  many, with its stings of loss and chills of disbelief  heightened The "here today" could be the "gone tomorrow" And the parts of lives that were filled with you now remain bare Losing you has made us stronger Empowering us with a new hope. Without it, we crumble Your courage so contagious In your heart of love and war Still, beating on Rest in peace now, You never have to fight again For you, L.A, forever in our hearts 

Set the tone and I'll sing to Your song, with our heart-beats to the same rhythm, my will and Yours in Harmony My mind auto-tuned to Your desires, Notes of love and genuine dedication my life, my walk in Your symphony Lyrics of Grace, chords of Salvation Choruses of freedom and victory All in Your Key of G. G-O-D.    'The G-chord'   

I've been latched unto the rollercoaster of music, it took me through highs and lows. My iTunes playlist that I called "My Jamz" (yes, with a "Z") was compiled from music of the stars- in my eyes back then- with the likes of Aerosmith, Regina Spektor, Chris Brown, Enriqué Iglesias, ColdPlay, Adele, Beyoncé and Linkin Park. It may seem like some variety, swimming across the spectrum of musical genres, but all seemed to own a special key to my mind, unlocking my emotions of laughter, tears and the most dreaded "release yourself" , where I try to bust a move, combining the creepwalk with the butterfly dance and the running man. That was a shambles. What I'm getting at here, as I quickly pull out from your imagination visions of me trying to dance, is that these artists and musicians have a way of combining sounds to accompany their lyrics, sending message to our subconscious, and our minds intepret these wave signals ...

____________________________________________________________________ Channel 4’s Unreported World went deep into the southern part of Nigeria to expose an ongoing trend of human trafficking which has been hidden underneath filthy blankets for many years. In the episode titled “Sex, Lies and Black Magic” we watch as a young girl, Vivian Peter, is prepared for her journey into Sex Slavery. As it is not so obvious to her what is about to become of her,  w ith fingers crossed, we hope that she would be overwhelmed with the stench exuding from the fishiness of the process used to prepare her for the adventure ahead. Watching as Vivian is being made to take an oath in a black magic ritual, she is being made to swear her life into paying her sponsor- who provides what is needed for her trip and stay in Italy, Vivian’s dreamland. It is no surprise how compelled Vivian is to do this, by looking at her surroundings; it is quite blatant her state of poverty has subject...
