Thanksgiving Letter to God

   Dear Sisters, Meerrryyy Christmas! 😁  I couldn't hold myself back from writing to you this beautiful Christmas eve evening. It has been such an eventful year. In all, here am I writing to you, and there you are reading. What a joy!🙌 And Jesus alone be praised.  Sis, I want you to know that I am thankful for you. I am grateful for the Women of the God-Kind community; it has been such a blessing.  If everyone was asked to describe the year, I bet we all will have our diverse stories. However, I would like us to look beyond the "ought to-haves" "shouldn't haves" and "should haves". I want you and I to focus on the reason for the season -Jesus- and thank Him.  At the beginning of the month, I began to document my thanksgiving points and realised I had 40 of them today. My goal is to write at least 50 by the end of the year.  The songwriter that said count your blessing, name them one by one is so spot on. Many events here and there make us forget

Are You Expectant?

Dear Beautiful One,  Happy New Month! Welcome to an Oustanding October.  I hope you are keeping safe and putting in prayers the upcoming WOTGK Convention. Without  shadow of a doubt, I know it will be amazing.  Pregnancy is such an incredible experience, and I am reminded of it as I write this post. You see, with my first pregnancy, I was clueless and to be honest, even at 37 weeks I kept telling people I still had time before delivery. This is because of the many things I had read, most of which postulate that first pregnancies often go beyond their Expected Date of Delivery (EDD). So, I delayed starting my maternity leave for as long as I could plus I was still very agile, so why stay idle waiting for the baby's arrival. Unknown to me, God had ordained my baby to arrive on March 4, 2017 and here I was on Friday, March 3, at work after which on my way home, I stopped by to do some grocery shopping. Sisters, I felt no sign whatsoever till the next morning when I spotted and had to

Love Is The Greatest Of All

Dear Sisters, A lot has happened lately, and of the lessons learnt, the lesson on living an impactful/purposeful life stands out the most. Lately, I wake up asking for grace to love more. After all that is the fundamental and greatest command - to love God and love our neighbors as ourselves.  Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Matthew 22:37‭, ‬39)  No wonder Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 discusses at length that if we have all things but don't have love, it's vanity - ICorithians 13:1-13. That is why I come to the conclusion that our purpose is to love.  One of the most talked about yet complex issue ever is the subject of P.U.R.P.O.S.E  Ever wondered why some acclaimed 'successful ' people commit suicide? They simply lacked fulfilment, their riches/fame notwithstanding.  Walking in purpose is t

Lessons From Abigail

Hello Beautiful, I trust that you and yours are doing well. So good to be on here again, an opportunity I am forever grateful to God for. The title of this post gives it away already. I am going to be sharing with you the lesson I learnt from the story of Abigail.  Before re-reading Abigail’s story earlier this year, I had thought I knew enough about her.  However, being married to a wicked and ill-tempered man, Nabal, was not one of the things I had assumed I knew. So, imagine my expression when I read her story from 1 Samuel 25 recently with a group of friends, I was awed by her personality, and it left me with so much wisdom. It just felt like that part of the bible was suddenly re-written. Quick Story Summary: Abigail was married to Nabal, a wealthy but wicked and ill-tempered man who one day decided to speak rudely at David for no reason. David did not take that lightly, so he decided to fight Nabal and 'finish' his entire clan.

By Their Fruits

Hello Beautiful, How are you doing? And how has the lockdown been on your end? Eased or still very much on? I understand some of us have returned to work, how has it been for you? I really want to know. I am still working from home for now. May God’s Covenant of Protection abide with our families and us now and always. Amen! Recently I was meditating on the story of Ruth, and I began to wonder why she decided to follow Naomi to serve her GOD. What exactly made her willingness to follow her despite the ‘calamities’ she had just faced? Would we say that it was a case of the good deeds Ruth saw in Naomi’s life? Not quite! For Naomi, it was the opposite. Nothing was exciting about a woman who lost her husband and two grown-up sons. That was Naomi’s case. If anything, what Naomi had encountered is enough to cause any believer to backslide, let alone someone to be able to convince someone from a background where they worshipped gods to follow her. So I am sure we can all agree it was

MY TESTIMONY: VICTORY OVER DEATH

Hello Beautiful, Happy Easter! I trust that this post meets you well, I am confident that this year shall end in praise for us all. Amen.  Today, I share my testimony over death, read and be blessed:      It was a bright morning of Wednesday, March 18, 2020 when I got up to get my boys ready for their visa appointment at the TLS. I was at work the previous day and knowing that I had to take them for this appointment, I applied for a day casual leave from work. Well, it was a good thing I did because this disaster could have met me at work, and only God knows what would have happened. This experience made me understand why the steps of the righteous are indeed ordered by the Lord. When you are in Christ, you just find your choices aligning.     As I got my boys dressed, I began to feel slight abdominal pains which I didn't take seriously. I proceeded to make breakfast and while I was at it, my stomach began to hurt uncontrollably. I began to purge and throw-up the

Would you let Him have your 5 loaves & 2 fishes?

Dear Sisters, I hope your week and month has been off to a great start. For me, the last two weeks have been intense as I was studying for my promotion exam at work. After days and nights of reading, I took the exam on Saturday. And honestly, I didn't come out of the hall feeling like I smashed it as I had wanted. While a lot of deliberations went on between my colleagues and I on how the exam went, I found myself muttering from within "God, I have given you my five loaves and two fishes, multiply it". The revelation gave me so much peace and confidence! Are you thinking about what you have as insufficient? Do your efforts towards that thing appear inadequate? Then this is for you - let God have your bread and fish. He will multiply it. Sisters, that is the seed required. Let him have it. Unfortunately, quite a number of us give him our bread and fish, but turn back in one hand to retrieve it; we are too in a hurry. Look at the little boy of John 6:1-14, he trust

DON'T TAKE THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT FOR GRANTED

Dear Sisters, The much anticipated 2020 is here! Happy New Year family. I trust that you had a wonderful and love-filled holiday. I did. This year I pray that you shall work in abundance, you shall move in the speed of the holy ghost, and you shall be profusely favoured. At the start of the year, I said to myself “I will read a lot of familiar Bible stories again and again”. This resolution was borne out of the revelations I caught in December when I did a study of the book of Luke, I realised there were lots of things I assumed how it occurred. Assumptions from bible school days and fellowships. Unfortunately, these assumptions aren’t how some of these bible accounts happened. They have been paraphrased so much that the accuracy of scriptures has been lost. That is why it is essential not to get too familiar with the things of the Spirit and ensure that what we know of God is what is contained in the scriptures. We must find and know God for ourselves. Another reason w
