Evil Appearances

By

Dear Sisters,

It's a great opportunity to be on this platform connecting with you again 😘😘 such a wonderful privilege.

I trust you are doing very well, my prayer for you this season is that your expectations this season shall not be cut short in Jesus Name.
A big congratulations 🎉to our sisters that graduated last week, I pray that the forces of life would work in your favour.


Abstain from evil [shrink from it and keep aloof from it] in whatever form or whatever kind it may be. - 1 Thessalonians 5:22 AMPC

The word appearance is described as the way something or someone looks.
Often times we think appearance comes in form of a person but no, appearance could be a 'something'.
And while the thing still looks like (appear) evil, we ought to flee. It looked to Joseph like Potiphar's wife was scheming to sleep with him, he fled at the appearance of adultery.

Our insensitivity to flee from these appearances make them gain grounds in us. Had Joseph waited, he would have been entangled into the net of adultery.
What you don't resist you don't overcome. James 4:7 - Submit therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you.

You must not leave a vacuum, as you resist the devil you must replace it by submitting to God.
The devil doesn't plant a full grown crop, he sows a seed - an appearance. The irresistance of this seed gives permission for the seed to grow.
Remember the account in the bible where the enemy sowed tares? those tares grew and had to be cut down to be dealt with.

As a believer in the 21st century, there are lots of evil appearances:
• Bad friend/relationship ? 1Corinthians 15:33 ....Bad company corrupts good character

• Unholy thoughts? Philippians 4:8....And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

• Ingratitude? 1 Thessalonians 5:18 - Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

• Comparison with others? Galatians 6:4 -Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.

These evil appearances are not exhaustive to the ones mentioned above, you know those appearances of evil you are encountering not mentioned here. What are you doing about it? The Word is the most potent weapon, embrace it!


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 ...
