Get Out From Among Them

Hello Sisters,

Happy Sunday to y'all. We have just a Sunday till the third Women of the God Kind Conference, 2018- INTIMATE. If you haven't made your reservation via registration, kindly do so now on the blog (it's FREEE).

I feel led to share with you today on 'peer pressure'. Sounds cliche and teen related, yeah. But the truth is peer pressure never ends when we attain adulthood, it is something that continues as long as we have people around us. As difficult as you might want to accept this truth, in my own view, I strongly believe handling peer pressure isn't difficult.

It takes wisdom and being truthful to yourself. Why should the people around you become a thorn in your flesh when you can always pull back. I have tried this severally and it works. I have had friends tell me they observed I pulled away from them. I do that because I discover that we are no longer compatible.

If you are not truthful to yourself about that toxic relationship, you are definitely going to be a victim of peer pressure. Likewise, if you do not take the right step (pulling back), you cannot escape its sting. Do not be scared to pull away from them, yes, you will miss the gist, the hangouts, the gossips and them, but you just have to be truthful to yourself.

Do not allow yourself to be stuck in the web of peer pressure. You have the right to make friendship and pull away (even if it is not included in the constitution). Sis, you need to pull away. You can't be like them because you are different. If they are not comfortable with your style, leave. Don't let them make you who you are not. Evil Communication corrupts good manners.

Perhaps, you have a benefit you're scared of loosing, rest in this, as long as it's the right thing, My God will take care of you. You won't fail that course, you won't starve, you won't look tattered, you're gonna be just fine. Trust me.

When two people that do not agree walk together, there will be peer pressure. When two people of different orientations work together, there will be peer pressure. Keep being the 'good girl' you are (and aspiring to be). Walk with like-minds, there is always someone like you and even better than you.

And...do not be in the peer pressure gang!

God bless you richly.
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

You Are Being Built

Hello Beautiful, I hope you know how much God loves and is mind-full of you. I have wanted to write to you for so long now, but I kept telling myself, “i will get to it”, and alas, we are now in April. Can you believe we are in April already?! I trust God that this write up meets you in good spirits. God is so merciful. Earlier in the year, January to be precise, the Holy Spirit instructed me to reread the story of Joseph and this time, I had the nudge to list point by point the career lessons from him. The way I was inspired to pen these lessons was as though I was preparing to use them for a speaking engagement. I stalled a little because the story is one I have read severally and wondered why writing it in the way I had been inspired to matter, especially as it is one of the major cruces of my book - The Millennial Employee. Eventually, I obeyed and studied the story as I was inspired. January and February passed. I had no reference to it and even forgot I did the exercise. Fast
