ESSENCE OF TRUE WORSHIP by Ade Stephen

 

As the music minister begins to worship with her sweet but stressed voice on this particular sunday morning, it was the sunday of our carol so i wasn't in my usual energy mode (feel tired and exhausted from series of rehearsals and preparation towards the carol at that time). I felt this great silence and heavy presence of a greater force around me. 

I couldn't even open my mouth to sing as i stayed glued to a spot, just watching as the whole scenario played out.

As the music  blasted from the speakers, erupting like a molten magma from its imprisoned state and with that lady really doing a good job by leading the people to worship, the least i could do to avoid distractions was to close my eyes (as seen in the picture attached) and like a flash, i saw myself navigating through the celestial bodies with a speed faster than a rocket only to land in front of a closed golden door.

I was curious of what was actually happening as i stood gazing at the door and quickly, a beautiful winged creature came close and immediately, the door opened.

We entered through the golden gate and to my greatest amazement (like a movie), i saw great numbers of this beautiful winged creatures hovering around in a uniform and perfect style of movement (that's the way  i can best describe it) like it was rehearsed. I was awed. My God! I have never seen something like that before

They all look alike with no difference in their look ( the only difference was in their sizes) . The creature held me and we landed on a golden street which leads to a burning bright sparkling looking throne

The weight of the throne brightness almost blinded me as i tried to behold it. The creature left me on that spot and i guess i was left alone to experience what will play out all by myself. Immediately, i fell on my kneels and started crying.

While this was going on over there, i could still hear the voice of the music minister leading the worship, echoing and resonating from here (in the church). The heavenly aura was so beautiful and intense that i had to lay fixed and bowed there with my mouth muttering some words i cant even understand. All i know i want to say is God help to come back here after am done down there (earth)

I heard a voice coming out from the burning bright sparkling throne, speaking calmly to me and also gave me few instructions. Though i didn't see who was speaking but i know for sure it was Him (my lover and my friend).

After He was done talking, the winged creature flew towards me and with a single touch, i regain my consciousness, still rooted on same spot and maintaining same standing posture while the worship was still going on. Tears was all over my  eyes here too (you might need to look closely at the pic) . You know what that means right??
 
At this point, i realized that i had embarked on a life changing journey in the realm of the spirit by just focusing during worship.

PS: Heaven is really beautiful 

Selah.

SOME TRUTH

 


'Some truths are known to people even when they sometimes act oblivious to them'. Their personal selfish desires conflicts with reality. Here is the catch: people often think they can manipulate situations in their favour when the odds are apparently against them. You can't keep falling into a conspicuous pit and expect a favorable outcome.

CELEBRATING A LEGEND, AN ICON AND A SEPTUAGENARIAN: Tribute to my dad


To the man who weather the storms, cross the deepest oceans and seas, fought many battles and came out strong and undeterred. I am celebrating your achievements which to many, might be not, in this your 72 years sojourn here and at thesame time writing this tribute without remorse and no atom of prejudice.

Growing up, I have watch you made some decisions, which are not  feasible to the feeble minds and can comprehended as babes.It looks though that its going to stand the test of time yet you stood by it. IT PAID OFF eventually and that defines the true entity of a risk taker.

Prince Olusegun Samson Adebayo, a man (though not without flaws) yet perfect representation of a true loving and dotting father. 

The name BOBO SEGE is not just a cliché but it has come to resonate with peace and vibrancy your old age has birthed over the years, in coup d'état with the youthful vibes that encompasses your persona wherever you go ( cant forget this so quickly during my convocational journey to Abuja in the year 2019) and your high level of critical thinking capacity, which betray the characteristics of a man of your age. I cant believe you are 72 oooo....Opolo po (Too much ideas)

Your legacy of sound education, good name and integrity, which you gave us on a platter, cannot be overemphasized. You have imprinted that on the tablet of our heart that integrity, knowledge and good character makes a man not money or valuables. 'I have built the name ADEBAYO over the years, it is your turn to write it on the plate of gold' . This is your testament, which has eventually become a path to be threaded and a guiding torch for every decisions and choices, leading us on to fulfilling purpose and destiny and to be passed on from generations to generations.

There are so many things yet to be said, many epistles yet to be written about your personality and entity but some details about a sagacio ( if there is any grammar like that anyways) like your personality and entity are meant to be hidden  in the VOLUME OF GOLDEN BOOKS for coming generation to seek like a treasure.

I wish to go on and on but I will be dropping my pen here not without saying Happy birthday to you my world best dad. Wishing you a life full of laughter and good health to enjoy your dividends of labour, in  peace and joy.

Bonne anniversaire in a French man's voice ( oyindamola can relate with that though)

Opomulero ma ja le kan
The Olori Ebi of the great Opetunsin and Adebayo dynasty
Olowori oko stella olufunke
Oma layelope
Oma jairope se mo

Loves from your son,

Adebayo Stephen (Ade Stephen)
