Hiiii... welcome to theerinojo.com.ng. There is so much to say and so little spaceee... Either way, the past couple of months have been mind-blowing, each day had something new for me to learn, and for most of it, it was overwhelming, but in the long run, it was absolutely worth it.
So first a little update on things that connect us/concern you. First of all (go down low/introduction) the blog domain as from henceforth changed from .com to .com.ng soooooo theerinojo.com.ng. Secondly, I have gist, plenty gist, so many lessons learnt, and for this reason, the writer in me got conflicted on where to start. Finally, the last but not least, my birthday is next month. Oh also, my blog is now monetized so for every advertisement, you see and engage, a lirru somehun, somehun, comes to me...
Now for the topic of today. Sin! The 'S' word, according to google, Sin is an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law. Now since I like digging, also according to google Sin has 2 greek meanings; one: an offence; and two: to miss". Hence my own definition; Sin is to commit an offence by missing the point of the laid down plan God has for your life. PERIODT!
So what led to this sin gist, so many times especially when I was younger, a large percentage of my age group kind of categorized the gravity of their sin, it was something along the lines of a white lie, and that some offences are not offensive enough to be sinful, and this led to a lot of avoidable offences, especially revenge related offences.
So here is the event... About a few days ago, I had to travel about 30 minutes from my house to register for something. The journey there was uniquely tedious because we had taken the wrong route and successfully perambulated and toured a good portion of the state. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to complete my activities of the day and I was asked to come back another day.
Now the "another day" came and I went to this place, early and with allll the necessary documents, on getting there, my details weren't in the records (and it was no one's fault), deep sigh. That's when all things went all south, for some reason unknown to me, the person in charge became rather mean, and lashed out a bowl full of colourful insults at me. To say I was angry will be an understatement, I was beyond livid, and I had every right to be. Anywho, there I was being insulted for committing no offensive and all I could think about was, this one sin please, in the words of my mental battle I was like "Sky daddy please can I show a lirru dangbana shook, just small, I promise I will utilize this sin well". After the whole ordeal, I called my mom and gave a summarised rant, she was like "what exactly happened?" my automatic response was "I don't want to sin don't worry"
Sometimes in this journey of being Christ-like, humans will provoke you, they will unlock new levels to your anger and patience you will be amused by what you can tolerate. Throughout the time I was being scolded unjustly what kept me rooted wasn't a special inability to communicate my anger, or fear that the person will shout louder at me, or even the popular fear of hell, I did speak, calmly too, and the question I asked was semi-answered. What actually kept me rooted, was that being rude isn't Christ-like, that mini WWJD moment made the difference.
As for the man that was mean, I'm glad to type that God has taken me out of his jurisdiction. With this I close;
Exodus 14:14 MSG
God will fight the battle for you...
And you? You keep your mouths shut!
