Comparison - The 'Joy Stealer'

Sisters,

Its such a great pleasure being here with you, cheering each other on in this journey.

Remember on our last discussion, we talked about how Joy is a 'fetcher' we use to draw from the well of salvation. Have you wondered what we can then get without this fetcher? NOTHING!
This then would be one of the enemy's tool to deprive us from getting our salvation goodies.
The enemy is known for being cunny however we are not unmindful of his devices. Comparison is a main deception tool.
Apostle Paul says it like this:
"Oh, don’t worry; we wouldn’t dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!" - 2 Corinthians 10:12 NLT
Sis, don't let us be ignorant of the devices of (comparison) the enemy as the year ends.
Yes I know Bimbo has everything put together, financial goals ✔ career goals ✔✔ spiritual goals✔✔✔ and here you are having no ticks. As a result you get downcast, forgetting all the seeds you've sown this year, forgetting that the ultimate goals might not have been ticked off but the process has began already. The process that would birth something soonest. It's important we don't uproot our seeds by acts of comparison, which in most cases is a function of what we see on the surface.
Don't let's miss the point of the growth we've experienced this year by letting our self dwell in self pity and by comparing ourselves to others.
An apple comparing itself to an orange will loose it's taste (that's if it grows at all). The growth cycle differs, the conditions for growth differs, the output (taste) differs.

In actual fact, you (yes you👈 )are in this race competing with only you because you are not like anyone else. So, comparison will be trying to fit a round peg in a square hole.

If there are times you've failed this year, at least now you know things to do better in the coming year.
The only competitor you've got in this race is you! How much have you grown? How better have you become in character because of the seemingly (un)happened events?
Don't engage another person's time to run your race. Comparison produces no result. It's only Joy that guarantees result. So, shake off the 'badtitude' (bad-attitude) and let's round off the year in grandstyle, dancing into 2018 with our Joy -fetcher undiluted .

Beware sis, don't let your perception of someone else's success make you ruin your journey with sorrow.

Rejoice Sis, it's the dawning of a new day.

Glory!

Loads of love 💕

Your Sis

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 g...

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 b...

THERE IS MORE!

Hello Beautiful, Happy new year! It’s been a while I wrote to you, I trust that you are doing well. How were the festive celebrations? Pleasant, I hope, except for the part of dealing with the extra pounds gained from the plenty food. 😊 It’s a few days into the new year, and I could not think of a better time to reconnect with you, my sisters. As the year 2021 ended, I was in a place where I did not want the year to ‘finish’. Why you may ask, well, it is because God blew my mind in 2021 – the year was heaven on earth for me – God’s favour was evident in all I did, and it felt so ‘sweet’. Everything that has a beginning must have an ending, so the year was bound to end regardless of my multiple testimonies. And that it had to end sort of began to make me feel unexpectant for 2022. Weird right? I wondered why too, mainly because the testimonies I experienced in 2020 I did not see coming or technically ask for them – it was just God honouring me. So towards the end of 2021, I ...
