Child Like

By

Beloved Sisters,

I trust God that everyone is doing very fine and it's my pleasure connecting with you once again.

If you read the previous post on 'that desire might be a mistake' you would agree with me that we have all been there at some point of our lives. I have wanted things God did not supply, craved what is not in His plans for me. In the end, i (my Faith) have (has) felt inadequate and in fact sometimes withdrawn or unworthy.

This brings me to today's discussion of being child-like in our walk with Christ.
In Matthew 18:3-4, Jesus answered and said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Children are characterised by many things one of which is how a child trusts totally and 'blindly'. Let me put this in better perspective:
My 15months old son gets angry (and cries) when I tell him he can't have something, like licking too much Menthol or a cold drink. After a little moment of tears, he forgets about it and comes to me for something else. He doesn't stay away because I earlier refused him something(s) which by the way is a show of humility. He comes to me again and again. I reckon that he understands how much I love him regardless of what I give or don't give him.
Sometimes our experiences as believers make us stay away from Christ but in actuality, He is the answer and ours is to draw near to Him no matter what.
Don't let your walk with God be situational/circumstantial, live in the revelation of Him and His word. The same way children relate with their parents on the basis of the bond they perceive .
Be lowly in heart and return to Jesus because His plans for you are thoughts of good and not of evil - Jeremiah 29:11
Of course, I'm not oblivious to the fact that the desperation in some of our desires makes the promises of God seem untrue. Beware! Let God be true and every man a liar. Come to Him as a child would to his/her parents no matter what.

Tell Him your concerns, worries and fears. Take that burden to Him, he wants to hear from you. Tell it to Jesus like a toddler would to his parents. Believe His word like a child believes the words of His parents. Come just as you are.

Loads of love

YourSis

The Creative Power

By
 Dearly Beloved, Happy New Year! I pray that 2023 will be exciting and fulfilling for you; may your expectations not be cut short in Jesus Name, Amen. A few days ago, I came across on my Instagram page a snippet of some of the things I said in 2019. In this video, I was talking about my personalised confessions after a vision boarding session. So I said things like, “I am transforming Africa”, “I enjoy healthy relationships”, and I went on and on.  Sisters, I was so moved by how everything I spoke in that video has become a reality today. There is so much power in our words; honestly, we can’t really understand how powerful it is on this side of the earth.  Can we do something? Do a video saying where you see yourself (in alignment with the Word of God) by December 31, 2023 and save it. Say things like, I have become a global brand because Nations and kings are coming to the knowledge of my rising. I see myself setting a new pace with groundbreaking ideas in my industry because I am th

DEALING WITH NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

By
Dear Sisters, I trust God that you and yours are doing well.  Before now, I would b ea t myself up each time a negative thought crosses my mind. This led me to do a lot of meditation on the power of thoughts and how to take charge of them. Of the many things I have now come to understand is that: negative thoughts in themselves are not bad. I know that sounds weird but stay with me, let me explain myself. Allowing these thoughts to remain and control us is where the issue lies.  It reminds me of the analogy of temptation versus sin. It is okay to be tempted, but it is not okay to sin.  When I was meditating on this, I read a devotional that week that reiterated that dwelling on bad thoughts is what causes  believers to fall. For the purpose of context, not all negative thoughts are 'fornication' or 'adultery' related; sometimes, it is not doing the will of the Father. Peter is a good example here when he said Christ would not wash his feet (John 13:8) and when he reprim

As They Went

By
  Dear Beautiful One, I trust that you are well and that this post meets you in great spirits.  Some time ago, I had a task at work that seemed very convoluted. I wasn't quite sure how to go about it, but as I started, it became clearer what I needed to do and how I needed to go about it. I have come to  realise  that one of the most significant milestones one could ever deal with is starting and because the enemy knows this, he tries to keep us from starting. Keeps us from starting to obey God or cultivating the right attitude or association.    This and other similar occurrences made me begin meditating on the power of starting.  Often  we are faced with so many undaunted decisions and uncertainties and get conflicted about the aftermath of a decision even before we begin. Frankly, we will never know what lies ahead if we never start.  So  the best way to know what lies ahead is to start. Start from where you are. Clarity comes from doing. My pastor usually buttresses this point
