Welcome to ZipdamWrites A Curated Collection of My Writings and Insights

There are moments in life when you step away from the noise, the routine, and the expectations and find yourself surrounded by something so pure, so untouched, that speaks directly to your soul.  My trip to Ikogosi Ekiti and Ipole iloro Ekiti was one of those moments. From the breathtaking heights of Arinta Waterfall to the mysterious beauty of Ikogosi Warm Springs, this journey was more than just sightseeing, it was an encounter with nature, courage, and divine presence. The Beauty and Boldness of Arinta Waterfall Standing at Arinta Waterfall, I was immediately captivated by the sound of cascading water and the lush greenery surrounding it. It felt like nature was alive breathing, speaking, and inviting me to experience something deeper. But beyond the beauty, there was a challenge. I started from the first level, taking in the view and enjoying the moment. But something in me wanted more. I wanted to explore further, to see beyond what was easily accessible. So, I began the hike....

Easter didn’t end on Sunday. The resurrection was not just an event, it was the beginning of a new life. Easter Monday is a reminder that we are not just celebrating victory, we are meant to live in it. Too often, we celebrate resurrection but continue living like we’re still in the grave. But the truth is: You are no longer bound You are no longer defeated You are no longer the same. The power of Easter is not just in whatever happened, it’s in how it transforms us. You are called to live boldly, confidently, and purposefully. The same power that raised Christ is at work in you. I’m not just celebrating resurrection, I’m living in it. This is a new season, and I’m walking in victory. 🌿

The Grave Could Not Hold Him Then came the third day. The stone was rolled away. The grave was empty. Death was defeated. Resurrection Sunday is the greatest victory story ever told. It is proof that no situation is beyond redemption. No darkness is permanent. No setback is final. Jesus rose not just for Himself, but for us. He rose to give us: New life New hope New identity This is the power of resurrection: What was dead came back to life. And if God can raise Jesus from the dead, then nothing in your life is beyond restoration. Closing Line: Resurrection is proof that God always has the final say.

When God Is Silent, He Is Still Working Between the cross and the resurrection, there was silence. No miracles. No signs. Just stillness. Holy Saturday represents the “in-between” seasons of life, the moments where nothing seems to be happening. It’s the place where faith is tested. Have you ever prayed and felt no response? Waited and saw no change? That’s what this day represents. But here’s the truth: Silence does not mean absence. God was still working behind the scenes, preparing the greatest miracle of all time. Your waiting season is not wasted. It is preparation. Closing Line: Even when you can’t see it, God is working.

The Cross Was Not the End, It Was the Beginning. Good Friday is not just a day of remembrance, it is a revelation of love. The cross represents pain, sacrifice, and a price that was fully paid. It was the place where Jesus carried what we could not carry and bore what we could not bear. What looked like defeat was actually a divine strategy. On the cross, love was stretched wide. Mercy spoke louder than judgment. Grace replaced condemnation. Many times in life, we experience our own “cross moments”—seasons of pain, confusion, and silence. But Good Friday reminds us that even in the darkest moments, something powerful is taking place. The cross was not the end. It was the beginning of redemption. Sometimes what looks like an ending is God preparing a greater story.
