Fellow Pacesetter


Hello Sis,

I hope your week has been amazing! Our Father has sent me to encourage you with this:
Recently I was asking God about a particular assignment he gave me, I wanted to be sure I was on the right track and know that it's not me calling my idea as His. I asked Him this questions because what he has told me to do is not 'seemingly ' popular or trending.
Here is how he responded to me:
"How many houses were in the neighbourhood you currently live when you first moved?" I said about 3 or so, it was a new area. "How about now?" Ah! I cannot count o. Then he said that's how it is when i send you on an assignment, you are there to set the pace (trend) for others to follow. You would not be a pacesetter if the assignment is "popular or trending" already. 

However, we must learn to remain planted for us to witness the bloom . If we allow the pressure of popularity override our divine assignment, we would never become a pacesetter. Perseverance is an attribute of a pacesetter.
1Corinthians 2:9 "That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”

So, don't get discouraged, keep hope alive and trust the one who has sent you.
If that assignment was given to you because of one person, your prayer should be for that 1 person to be reached (to the glory of God).
I hope you find this encouraging.

May this be your best week yet!

Loads of love

Your Sis

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 because I am th

DEALING WITH NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

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
