Praise Him for the Hope...


Hello Sisters,

It is very easy to thank God for the physical things He has done. It is easy to count your blessings and rejoice in the Lord with genuineness. It much easier to thank Him for the tangibles He has done-why? Because we see them, feel them or even, know them.

But what happens when “Habakkuk 3:17” is the current state in a fellow’s life?  It seems to be that the whole praise understanding vanishes, such that, even when praise is engaged, it’s done with little or no understanding. May I encourage someone with this post?

Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, they are thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end.” Another version says, “….a future and a hope”. Yes, glory, halleluiah.

These are the scriptures that gives us hope. In marrying these two scriptures together, it opens our eyes to see that in that dry situation, we should thank God for the future that we are promised. We thank Him for those good plans He has for us, and not that we are joying in our predicaments. We are thanking Him for the light that is promised at the end of the tunnel. That, though weeping might have endured the whole night, but, we are guaranteed of that promised future.

Don’t let that situation make you depressed, look into His Word again and receive hope to thank Him for the mighty things prepared for you. Only from the Word can you tap strength in such days as this. But how can you reinforce your strength when you are far from the Word? See, the Word fortifies you against sorrow, such that when the devil comes as usual to throw those shots at you, you are well equipped for victory.

There is a chain identified in this post….Praise, Joy, Strength, The Word. Yes, and we back at the Word as usual. The life of a Christian evolves round the Word, over and over. So, here is what I am coming to. When you are faced with a contrary situation, get a particular scripture that speaks the exact opposite to receive  hope. When you get this, you are strengthened and then, praising Him will be done in genuineness. When praise is gone up, He comes down to meet those desires.

Have a blessed week!

Much love always,

Your Sis

DEALING WITH NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

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

The Creative Power

 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

Purposefully Marching Forward

  Dear Sisters,  Happy New Month! Welcome to March,  the month  where God is moving us  further  in purpose.   I trust that you and yours are doing well and keeping safe. It ' s so good to be on here.    I was studying the ministry of Elisha recently ,  and  I  took not e  of  his dimension of impact.  What a man! He carried  a  double portion of Elijah ' s anointing ,  and Elijah was not small in any   way.  While Elijah and Elisha were very similar, they were distinct in their  purpose  and those they were sent to,  nothwithstanding  the measure of anointing .    Most of Elijah ' s miracles were inclined to life and death. On the other hand, most of Elisha ' s miracles were restoration  based like  healing  people and nations .   Therefore, it can be said that Elisha was a prophet of grace while Elijah was a prophet of judgment. Elijah gave testimonies  against men's sin and evil, while Elisha's testimonies were inclined for  salvation and preach God ' s m
