My Identity
My name is Jaiyeoba Lois Adejoke.. I am a medical doctor.. really... Is that all I am? Does being Lois shield me from the troubles of life? No. Does having the name Lois keep me from having an identity crisis? No... So who then am I? I am a child of God, my identity is found in Christ.. Yes.. Imagine my name being Lois God.. Yeah... That's awesome right.. That's what it is really.. This is because my life is hid in Christ with God, He is my father and he loves me even in my lowest moments. 
This leads me to the song "Daddy's home" by Travis Greene.. It ministered to me.. Reminded me that I AM is my father, and I belong to him. The lyrics below

 God reminded me of the children of Israel and how they wanted a king because everyone else had a king. But what they didn't recognize is that they had the King of kings. And God stopped me in my tracks one day while I was praying and said "Travis quit searching for what you already have. You have the Father of fathers". And I don't know who you are tonight but you've been searching for your identity and God says that you'll find it all in him. He says, "Listen homie I never missed a ball game". He says, "Daughter I was there at your graduation." I feel a wind of restoration blowing through and God is giving you back your identity. What you've been searching for, what someone stole from you, God said, "No, no, no, you belong to me daughter. You belong to me man of God. I am your identity. You can have my last name. Everything you've been wanting you can find in me. I am your father."

You've been searching for your identity
Someone to give you hope and something you could believe
Search no longer, He's waiting for you
The search is over, all you have to do is let me

Daddy's home, oh
Daddy's home, oh
Daddy's home, oh
Daddy'sYou've been searching for your identity
Someone to give you hope and something you could believe
Search no longer, He's waiting for you
The search is over, all you have to do is let me
Search no longer, He's waiting for you
The search is over, all you have to do is let me

Daddy's home, oh
Daddy's home, oh
Daddy's home, oh
Daddy's home, oh

You're not forsaken
You belong to me
You belong to me
And I'm here for you

You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
And I'm here for you

For you
I'm here for you
I'm here for you
I'm here for you
I'm here for you

Daddy's home
Never forsakes us
Never leaves us alone

Daddy's home, woah
Daddy's home, woah

I am that I am
And I am here for you
[x4]

I call you son
I call you daughter
I am your father
You belong to me and I'm here for you home, oh

NB... Being a child of God does not imply a trouble free life, the assurance we have is not of Porsche or a house in banana island(they aren't bad o), our assurance lies in the fact that he promised to be with us till the very end.
Love y'all 
Going on a break.. Will be back soon.. Keep me up in your prayers, chronicles of a Benue Corper shall continue then.

NOVEL REVIEW : HIGH TREASON BY DIANN MILLS  A friend gifted me with this beautiful novel few days ago.   Diann mills is my best Christian romantic suspense writer so far, her storyline are far compelling that dropping the book off to do something else will not appeal.  Her other titles which I have read include Attracted to fire Awaken my heart Deadlock Deadly Encounter Double cross Firewall A woman called sage Fire in the ember Some of her books are available freely on b-ok.org I am a book addict, unapologetic about that *winks* Summary of high treason  When Saudi prince Omal Bin Talal visits Houston to seek cancer treatment for his mother,an attempt on his life puts all agency on high alert.

Take a walk with me my dear A walk to 1st Corinthians 13 My dear, with all the skabbashing, if love isn’t found in you, you are but a clanging cymbal You think you can preach ba, lol, yet you find it hard to love your neighbour, love hasn't taken its full course in you yet You give to the beggars on your street every weekend, but deep within you, u know it’s not borne out of love, you know it’s to relieve the burden of your guilt from your last hang out You are not patient with your employees, you aren’t kind to the cleaner at your work place and yet when the man of God says, turn to your neighbor and say you love them , you do so baring your smile, you decei
