Your Place in the Kingdom

By

Dear Sisters,

I thank God for bringing us all into this new month of September, May it one we would live to remember for good in Jesus Name.
I trust everyone is doing well. I encourage you not to be anxious, all things are working together in your favour. Relax! and let Jesus take the wheel.

Recently, I have found myself in the 'thought- place' of purpose, life assignment and occupying my place in the Kingdom. And I would love to share some of those thoughts with you, I hope it blesses you.

As a child of God we must know that God created us for a purpose only Him can reveal. However, on the journey to that purpose we have several assignments some of which include: being a helper, teacher, apostle, encourager, leader, and so on. Each individual's assignment is unique and none is inferior to another. Unfortunately, today we are often carried away by pomp and pageantry of others' assignments and look down on ours.

Apostle Paul illustrates this using the various body parts. Let's take a look at 1 Corinthians 12:14-20

"Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. How strange a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body."

God evaluates us based on our given assignments - where he has placed us not based on what we think is acceptable or in popular demand. If God has called you to be a 'finger' in the body of Christ, stay there. The body of Christ is waiting for your manifestation as that ordained finger. No one would be a finger better than you because that is what you were made for.
That is your only place of flourishing and fulfilment, no matter how 'insignificant ' it may seem.
We must learn to stay planted where He has called us so we can bear fruits - according to kingdom standard not the people standard.

We must learn to let the word of God guide our daily living not what is trending. Don't forget that what is seen is temporal and the unseen is eternal.
Mind you, what is trending today would be obsolete soon enough. What then would be your fate? But being in your place of assignment would never go out of date because the the giver (God) is current for all seasons.

Remember,  you are here on a purpose and for a purpose.

You can share your thoughts/questions with me in the comment box below, I would love to hear from you.💕


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....
