(Episode 43) LOVE AFFAIRS | A novel of the OmidanWURA_files By Segun Alonge Jr

The communication gap was not faring well on my part at all – coupled with the fact that we were no longer at the same location.

Communication was mainly via chats and I hated dry chats….I hated to ask an open ended question and the response would just be a smiley I cannot even decode at times.
—
"Someone told me he is missing you but there is nothing he could do about it. I advised him to divert his thoughts because the ‘you’ he is missing does not even care anymore", I was referring to myself.

‘Okay,’ she responded.

Not again! I deride such responses. When I couldn’t bear it any longer, I decided to make my intentions known.

"I might withdraw for some time," dear. ‘I hate being snubbed, it rouses my ego. I would always love you.’
Do channel your passion into acquiring as much skills as you can. Practice!! Practice! Practice! That’s the key.

She had applied at a crafts school far away from home. A decision she exclusively made although I was not averse to it.

‘I had been waiting for you to withdraw long ago. Happy withdrawal,’ was her response.

I know! Good for you! Answered prayers! Enjoy! But I am sure you cannot enjoy it for so long. Now I know it’s all your intention. Thanks for the confession. It is just that I would have to plan for ‘two’ alone. I would pull through though.

‘Story for the gods’.

‘You can say that again,’ I replied, trying not to let the annoying response get to me.

*****
I opted for penning my thoughts and forwarded to her after a while.
Ayomi, each passing second is mingled with thoughts of you.
I have tried hard to fight it but it cannot be replaced.
It’s more like the air I breathe.
If you were sunshine, I would stop you from setting.
I miss everything about you. Your smiles…. your eyes…. missed staring at you.
Speak with me often
Your voice in my ears, none can replace
It trickles down to my very being
It mixes with affection within
Moments after moments I smell your aura around me
I pray you don’t take this for granted
The more I commune with the Father
Basking in his ocean of love
The more I am reminded about Ayomi – a gift from above
I don’t mince words when I say that
More like we were built into each other
The distance is getting at me
I can’t afford to shut it out
I can’t undo my principle – I stay committed to Father’s gift
Don’t overstretch these periods please
It won’t be soothing
Don’t push me into the cave
I should be seeking, not you.

‘OK. She responded.'

MAN AND RELIGION | Segun M. Alonge Jr

'Everyone is first human - religion came to separate us' - Segun M. Alonge Jr In speaking about religion and religious worldviews, I do not intend to exalt one at the expense of the other. I strongly believe that religion is man's orchestrated most potent means of satisfying his heart search for a creator - with the intention of finding meaning to his existence. Going back in time, history portrays one of man's greatest edifice - The tower of Babel (1). The whole earth had one language and one speech. There was unity in focus and they decided to erect a monument to maintain this oneness eternally - Man was then in a fallen state! Come, let us(unity in trinity) go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech (2). Elohim stepped into the scene and confused the language of all the earth. Prior to this time, man had began to call on the name of the Lord (3) as an act of worshipping the now invisible creator and to create

Revealed! THE WORLD AND YOU

THE QUESTION IS OFTEN ASKED, what should be the relationship of the followers of Christ with the world system? So many have tried to withdraw entirely from the systems due to the fear of being corrupted. Moving around town some months ago, on the streets of Ilorin, Kwara State, I was especially drawn to the various business enterprises around town, but most especially the big eateries. I do not really know the owners of these enterprises but one thing I’m sure of - they are patronized by Christians as well. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH INFERIORITY The mentality of a consumer is so rampant in the Christian faith – some of which sprang from the idea that since Jesus is coming soon, we need not invest in something that would be of lasting value. It is disheartening to hear these same teachings from most of the pulpits. This has made many believers limit themselves in what they can achieve. WE ARE NOT HERE TO SURVIVE So many just live to get by. Investing in lucrative busines
