Sacrifice of Praise

Dearest Sisters,

I count it a huge privilege and joy to be alive this time of the year. Truly, it's of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
I remember it was exactly a week to Easter that I was involved in a car accident and I came out unhurt, unscratched! To Him alone be all the praise forever, Amen.
If it has not been the Lord who is on our side, we would have been swallowed up quick by the wicked - for this, we are grateful.

I do not want you to read this post downcast because of the things you perceive undone, look on the brighter side and see what he has done.
How bad can your situation be? the account in Habbakuk 3:17-19:
"Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord ! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights. "
....tells us what our disposition should be in unpleasant times. 1Thes5:18 admonishes us to give thanks in all things.

And don't think this is convenient for me to write because you might be thinking 'I have it all figured out '....far from it! Trust me sis, I have my share of 'inconvenient ' situation that could stop me from praising God or even writing but I choose to follow the saying of Bishop Oyedepo that if you can think, you can thank.

Thanksgiving as described in Hebrews 13:15 is a continuous sacrifice to God...it is what you do (in advance) to get what you want and impportantly, it is an act of faith, done in hope of both the seen and unseen. It shows our total reliance and dependance on God.

Thanksgiving is 'bragging' on the efficacy and sovereignty of God to provoke divine intervention. Where I'm from (which I believe is obtainable in most cultures as well), praising someone for what he is yet to do is a potent means of getting the individual to commit and bend over backwards to get it done.
If we as humans relate with each other this way how much more the God of all.

Sisters, I admonish you to get on your praise garment. Praise him for His fingers that you saw from January to June and render praise in advance for His hands that you will see in the rest of the year.

Don't forget thanksgiving is a sacrifice and sacrifices don't hinge on convenience but obedience.

Offering Isaac as a sacrifice was not convenient for Abraham but he obeyed and did it anyway.

Don't wait for everything to be in place before you offer your sacrifice of praise, get on with it right away.

May God's blessings not elude us this season.

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 ...
