No More Tricks!

By
Hey Sisters,

Happy New Week and welcome to the week of His Death and Resurrection. Halleluyah! We are who we are because He arose and lives Forever.
What is that incapability of yours? Nail it unto the cross with Him. whatever the weakness is- lying, fornication, sexual immoralities and addictions, anger, whatever, name it, He is asking you to lay it at the cross.

He knows them, Yes, He knows you're battling with them, but you need to surrender them and mean it. He needs you to stop thinking you can stop them on your own. He needs you to stop feeling condemned, because His death brought you Righteousness and now, we are His righteousness.

We are clean and purged and presented as though we are blameless, because we are, in Him.

There is a trick of the devil many have fallen prey to- we withdraw from God when we transgress. That is one way the devil has held many captive. Truth is, we can never enjoy help when we are afar, we need to move closer to Him.

Yes, it's good to feel remorse when we err, in fact, we shouldn't rejoice/relish in iniquities nor keep returning to them, but we should not allow ourselves dwell on the guilt, such that we cut off communications with Him.

No. That is the trick of the devil.

So, perhaps you have erred at a particular point in time, and still feeling really terrible and afar off, this is the time to come closer to Him and exchange your weakness(es) for His righteousness. Embrace His Love and move closer. Help can't reach you where you are right now. He is searching for you and calling you back home.

Heard the lyrics of the song, "RECKLESS LOVE"?
"Oh the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless of God
Oh it chases me down, fights till I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it
I don't deserve it,
Still you give Yourself away"
Your soul right now is worth more than the 'ninety-nine' out there. Return to Him, today.

Much Love, 
Your Sis

As They Went

By
  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

By
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

By
  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
