Your Case is Different

My beautiful sister,

Welcome to the month of February, the month where God will break protocols for our sake and bring us into the realm of the supernatural. I appreciate you all.

Before we proceed, I would like to celebrate the faithfulness of God over Mama Faith Abiola Oyedepo's life. She has been a blessing to me and many generations, speaking life into destinies and changing lives. Indeed our mouth is filled with rejoicing as she turned 60years yesterday. What a mighty God we serve. As her days are, so shall her strength be In Jesus Mighty Name.

To the day's post:

Remember the account of the twelve spies out of which 10 came back with negative report - that they were like grasshoppers in their own eyes? I wonder how little they thought of themselves and their God. This points out something, how big you think of God is reflected in the words of your mouth.

Caleb and Joshua on the other hand saw their case as different. That they were able and well to take over the land. They were not bragging in their strength, they were just committing God to action. Like the amplified version of Psalm 23:3 says, He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him–not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake. God moves on our behalf for His name sake not yours. He has sworn by himself.

So, the circumstances around you has no capacity to deter what God is doing in your life except you alter it by the words of your mouth. That's why we must be conscious of our utterances even when all facts make it seem so. Where others experience casting down, we shall SAY there's is lifting up for us. What destroys others cannot destroy us, because we are hidden in Christ with God. If we must experience victory this year, we must understand that our case is different.

My prayer for us all is that, God will out-do himself for us this year, break protocols for our sake, make men to bend over backwards to help us.

It is our season of rest.

Shalom.

Your Sis

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

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

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
