Be Still

Hello Sis, I trust that your week has been off to a great start. -------- Waiting before God is not an invitation to meditate on a deeper revelation of you but to experience a deeper revelation of Him. Often times what We need to hear from God is to be still and quiet. Remaining still often requires more strength than striking. Stilled and silent is the best posture we can assume when we need to hear from God. No wonder David in Psalm 62:5 said "Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him." Furthermore, there are times when waiting quietly before God or being still becomes the best weapon we can adopt for God to be revealed to others. (Exodus 14:13-14) Only the spirit minded can be still before God because being still requires being dead to flesh, it's desires and control. I had an experience recently, and it's about how mind-full God is about us and it always require us being still. The encounter was so real, I was having a...

GOD SPEAKS TO US

Hello Beautiful, I believe you are having an amazing month already. May the God of Israel defend you, preserve you and perfect all that concerns you. Amen! Today, I would like to share on something so talked about yet misconceived by many. A lot of times we ask, does God speak to us? I have at some point wondered if I was worthy of being spoken to by God despite being born again. The reason for these questions are not far-fetched, I felt God was too big and busy up there to speak to "little me". What a line of reasoning! Let me tell you how the Holy Spirit (HS) debunked this line of thought for me, he used my most superior boss (Godwin Emefiele) at work to illustrate this: HS: does Emefiele speak to you? Me: Yes, through my departmental directors and he does not even know me. From time to time, these directors re-emphasize to us the institution's vision and we are expected to be committed to it. HS: If your boss who does not know you speaks to you, how much m...

If It's God, There's No Fear!

Hey Sisters, I apologize for the delay of this anticipated post as promised. So, I had said I was going to write next about how to hear from God and here you go! First, I will say that God's word only gives peace that quenches all doubts and fears. Now you might be thinking, "What about when he cautions me, will I still have a feeling of peace?" In this instance, when God cautions, instructs or reproves you, you are rather filled with conviction , not fear . Note that again, conviction and not fear! The devil is the mastermind of fear. Everything about him anchors on fear. He attacks the sound mind in us via fear and that's when we begin to doubt, get depressed, get confused and all that. If it's God telling you not to do something, there's no place for fear because God has no deal with fear. So Sis, while you are wondering and getting confused in knowing whether a word you received is from God or the devil, you should pay attention to the st...

P.E.A.C.E

Hello Sis, How are you doing? Family, work and all?  Recently, I found myself thinking of what it means to have peace as a believer and I came to the realization that peace is not the absence of storm rather, it is the ability to remain calm in the midst of the storm.  As believers, it is our faith that births this peace. Our faith that, when we walk through fire, He is there with us. Our faith that, he knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb. Our faith that, we do not know tomorrow but we know the One that holds tomorrow. Our faith that, He causes ALL things to work together for our good. Our faith that, faithful is He who has called for he will also do. Our faith that, the thought he has for us are not of evil/disaster but to give us a hope and a good future. Our faith that, surely there is an end and our expectations would not be cut short. Our faith that, he is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we could ask, think or imagine.  This ma...

Crave His Voice!

Hey Sisters, Glad to be coming your way again this week. My last post was on " Am I Still God's Favorite? " I understand this question might arise from certain life challenging situations we find ourselves in. Honest truth is, you are and you will forever remain His favourite. Whatever the situation is, I want to remind you that, " Regardless, God is faithful and He has only the best intentions for you". A quick question: Have you had time with God as regards what you're going through? Like, have you sought His face to know His mind and hear His word? If you have, great! If you haven't, it isn't too late. Truth is, no one can soothe you, comfort you, cheer you like God Himself. Please, make out time to spend time seeking His face so you can get clarity, instruction, correction or direction as per that situation. Sis, you need to hear His voice, YOURSELF! It is your responsibility and for your own good as well. Find time and separate your...

The Lover on the Wait List

The Lover on the Wait List  -Afolabi Bodunrin God desires us in our unclad form He passionately desires our bodies... to be his holy temple He cries for intimacy, the kind that reaches deep into the soul He longs to caress us with his kiss He planted the first kiss on our lips and spoke love to our hearts His love, he says is sweeter than fine wine    His arms wide open to shield us from the cold of life  He counts the hair on our heads and plants kisses on our forehead He tickles us with expensive gifts that we solemn show gratitude for. You are beautiful he says, perfectly imperfect are your features. Every line he caresses, every “thunder” he kisses, every flaw he loves. He doesn’t chastise, rebuke or reproof without love. He doesn’t hit or raise a finger in an attempt to show superiority. He says: “Come Unto me” “Let me be your Lover” “Let me romance your life” “Let me walk this journey with you” “Let me suck out ...

Am I Still God's Favorite?

Hey sisters, Sometimes, we are faced with certain situations that are overwhelming. These situations often make us doubt the faithfulness and love of God towards us. At those times especially, we see it happening so well for others and we begin to think, "oh, s/he must be God's favorite." At other times, we are not even only faced with a situation, they could be so much coming at us at the same time. Somehow, we lose hope and fear that we are also joining the statistics of depression victims. Hang on, SIS! God is faithful! He loves you! Never question His love. He knows exactly how you feel. Let your heart receive hope through Esther's story. She was also filled with a situation that almost took her life and that of her people. But Sis, she first went into the King's Court with praise by inviting him to dinner twice after which she then tendered her petition. I know you're in a haste to ask for a change of story, but first, thank God Sis. ...
