Entertainment Avenue: What's On Tv?  PhotoCred: DSTV Redemption on BET Africa . A Family At War With Itself.  At first I wasn't sure about the show when it first premiered in Seo. Couldn't connect with the first few episodes but recently I feel like it had a beautiful build up/ progression. The Actors are well fitted into their characters. It's a good show of drama within the family and brings out other main characters that compliment the Zikodes.  It's fast paced drama that's intense, gripping and carries so much depth. While it may come across as relaxed and laid-back, Redemption makes up for that by proving that just because it's in a fancy setting it doesn't mean they can't get their hands dirty. Unexpected turn of events are the delicious offering that will have you gasping for air, they know how to set the pace. I enjoy the ongoing tension and how it affects everyone involved not in just a mere theatrics approach but highlighting c...

Faith Avenue: When Your Faith Is Tested TUESDAY, MARCH 28TH, 2023. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: WHEN YOUR FAITH IS TESTED! TEXT: [NLT] JAMES 1:3-4 For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything. Faith will always get to a testing point and at that point, pressure, challenges and trials are the things that will carry out the test. Faith is what gives your endurance the chance to grow and fully develop. Until your endurance grow and develop fully, you can never be strong in character and be ready for anything. God has a way of building up a man to be ready for anything and that's by putting his faith to test. God will put your faith to test just as He put the faith of Abraham to test. In [NLT] Genesis 22:1, the Bible says; Later on God tested Abraham's faith and obedience. "Abraham!" G...

Avenue Lifestyle: 5 Signs You Haven't Healed.  PhotoCred: Unsplash Images There are people who live with wounds that they keep fresh and burning so they sting away the incoming joy and there's no progression. Some aren't aware and some are, it all depends on the view, the feelings, effect and turn of events from relationships, miscarriages, betrayal, loss. The list is endless and many find themselves playing the song of severe sadness, they sound like a broken record and push people away even any opportunity because no one wants round 2. Painting everything by a guilty color.  1. You Always Bring It Up - Yup, that's the first sign. Talking about how your ex, your boss, your parents or whoever hurt you. You're not speaking about it from a good perspective but from a "I'm not okay, they really did this to me, how could they?" It's a back and forth in your mind, you process it unable to comprehend it. It's also accompanied by negative...

Which has hit songs such as Fast Times, Because I Liked A Boy & the recent Nonsense which served a series of remixes.  Opposite is track 14 on the deluxe edition which features an alternative artwork.

Local Song Of The Week: Xikolo By Zyle Ft. Joyler Teezey.                      Official Artwork. Class is in session all thanks to The Award-winning, acclaimed Rapper/Songwriter and Entrepreneur.

 New Year's Resolutions Update As the year started, we all had our resolutions and what we wanted to achieve, how are we doing with those resolutions?  Sometimes we get distracted from our resolutions because of certain circumstances that we had not planned for or did not foresee, these things happen. However, these distractions should not lead us to deviate from our New Year's resolutions, but should only delay the plan or target goal a bit. Starting over is not such a bad idea, especially if the plan you had in the beginning of the year is not going your way, but then where do you start?  Perhaps we should start by renaming our target goal to 2023 Resolutions. We previously advised that New Year's Resolutions should be written down in detail and have a realistic time frame to be completed in. If you have gone off track, maybe it is time to go back to the drawing board where you listed your resolutions and revise them. Consider what has thrown you off track and how it ha...

Avenue Lifestyle: The Sunday Confessions With McKing  A Confession Over Tea Not just any Tea but Tetley's Premium Blend Black Tea.  While I'm a hopeless romantic and sentimental person, at times I feel like relationships are pointless. It's a lot of work, investing in a two people thing without knowing where it'll end up as it progresses. I love romcoms and I believe in love, strongly believe. I'm known as Love's biggest fan.  PhotoCred: Unsplash Images My love life hasn't been sparkling wine and confetti I've had many misses than I did hits. What I wanted flatlined like I had pancakes for breakfast and the syrup was just grease I had to clean up. What I'm saying is i ended up giving up completely, I wanted nothing to do with love. I was satisfied with being single or so I thought. I was at point where my expectations were at an all time low. I didn't hope in someone but I kept hearing people say "There's no...

Avenue Lifestyle: Figuring Faith PhotoCred: Unsplash Images Faith isn't Easy to Grasp and Maintain especially during the cold season. Harsh conditions that require you to burn like a lamp, like a fire for the Lord and not let the ice put you out.  Happy Sunday & God Bless. The Third Month Of The Year, we hope with each day you're getting closer to your desired destinations but one destination is Christ. Many people tend to find it hard to maintain and stay in the Faith because a flow of trials, too many troubles feel like torture they can't handle. Today we talk about how the walk of Faith is and how we can stay in Christ.  We as believers have moments where we question God's existence especially through the toughest trials of our lives. Everything feels so hard, exhausting and discouraging that we feel like throwing in the towel, wondering if this Faith will ever amount to anything. It's never easy to hold on and remain firm in the storm. We are cal...

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8TH, 2023. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE WONDERS OF THANKSGIVING! TEXT: [NKJV] JOHN 11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. Giving thanks to God is an act of showing appreciation to Him for what He has done, for what He is doing and for what He is yet to do. Giving thanks is an act of applying for more of what you have received from God. Giving thanks is also an act of telling God that you would love to see what He had done in the past again and again. There are wonders that only giving thanks to God can make happen and those kinds of wonders are very spectacular and one in a million. God loves to be appreciated and if He is not well appreciated, there is no amount of prayer and faith that can make Him to perform more of His wonderful deeds in your life. Giving thanks to God is an act of magnifying Him above yo...
