Humbly Trusting God

By

Hello Sisters,

As always it's a great privilege for me connecting with you on here and even greater joy that we are in the courts of our God, flourishing.

I trust that you are doing well. My prayer for you and I is that we would experience the best of God this season.

The first time I came across this phrase in the book of Micah I thought to myself, "which one is humbly trusting God agin? Can one trust with pride?" I mean trust is trust, why and what does it mean to be humble in this trust journey.

"No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." - Micah 6:8 NLT

I began to realise that more often than not, we claim to trust God with the intention to still have things done (turn out) our way. We still want to have control and this is where pride comes in subtly.

We have this illusion of control in our head while 'proclaming' our trust in Him. Now I hope you see where I'm coming from. This is a journey I am on myself.

To trust God humbly is to willingly relinquish (let go of all) who we are and want.
A song comes to mind right now:
"Jesus, all for Jesus...
All we are and have and ever hope to be....
All of my ambitions, hopes and dreams....
I surrender these into your hands."

We hide behind the finger of trusting God yet when things do not go our way we are 'angry' at Him forgetting that all things work together for our good because we love Him. This simply tells us we did not trust Him with all sense of humility in the first place.

Humbly Trusting God is a place of total and absolute surrender. We are required to give ALL. “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul." -Deuteronomy 10:12 NLT

To trust Him humbly we must constantly remind ourselves that we are not are own. He is the porter, we are the clay and the clay has no say when in the hands of the porter all it does is conform.

I pray for the grace to trust Him humbly for us all.

Loads of love,

Your Sis

The Creative Power

By
 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...

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....
