Understanding Vs. Application


Hello Sis,

Briefly today, I'd just make a few sentences in this post and leave you to meditate.

Going through the book of Genesis 4, I got an understanding, "What differentiates a Christian from another is APPLICATION of understanding". Obviously, Cain and Abel both had a good understanding of giving but their application of 'that' understanding determined whose offering was going to be accepted or not.

Let me make it more applicable to us. As Christians, we have the same WORD as our uniting chord. We read the same Word and perhaps hear the same Word. But, what brings about result in our lives isn't just the accumulation of the Word, or the understanding of the Word, but the right and total application of the Word. Truth is, a lot of Christians know and can even preach, but how many are applying- fully and rightly?

What is your measure of the Word application-  full, partial or even casual? We are not different from those who do not have insight to the Word if we still apply the word casually.

I'm certain that in this season of  Fasting and Prayer, several revelations and illuminations will be dawning on us. It is not enough to write them out. It is not enough to understand them. It is not even enough to apply them casually or partially. It is wisdom to engage in its full application.

It is my prayer that we all have definite proofs to show forth in this season and even beyond.

God bless you richly with strength, might and revelation.

P.S...It isn't too late to join in the fasting and prayer if you haven't.

Much love,

Your Sis

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

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

As They Went

  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
