What Easter means to me

Beloved Sisters

Happy Easter, I am so overwhelmed with the love of the Father as I hope that you are too. He is the reason we are connected. It is His name that brought us salvation and for these and more, I say Thank you Jesus.

Going by the events surrounding Easter, it ought to be a season of soberness but on the contrary we are rejoicing. We are rejoicing because:
1. He demonstrated His love for us by sending the son to the cross. “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 NLT
2. He swallowed up death in victory: "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ."
1 Corinthians 15:57 NLT
3. His death has made us more than conquerors: "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Romans 8:37 NIV
4. "He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them." 2 Corinthians 5:15 NLT
5. Our sins and guilt were wiped away: "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" 2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
6. We have been redeemed!: "So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1 NLT
7. We have power of temptation and all schemes of the wicked: "Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death." Hebrews 2:14 NLT
8. We were healed by His stripes: "He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed." 1 Peter 2:24 NLT
9. Salvation! everyone that calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
10. "he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names," - Philippians 2:8‭-‬9 NLT

As we celebrate the resurrection of our Saviour, remember to show love to someone because God is Love and we are his representation here on earth.

As They Went

Dear Beautiful One, I trust that you are well and that this post meets you in great spirits. Some time ago, I had a task at work that seemed very convoluted. I wasn't quite sure how to go about it, but as I started, it became clearer what I needed to do and how I needed to go about it. I have come to realise that one of the most significant milestones one could ever deal with is starting and because the enemy knows this, he tries to keep us from starting. Keeps us from starting to obey God or cultivating the right attitude or association. This and other similar occurrences made me begin meditating on the power of starting. Often we are faced with so many undaunted decisions and uncertainties and get conflicted about the aftermath of a decision even before we begin. Frankly, we will never know what lies ahead if we never start. So the best way to know what lies ahead is to start. Start from where you are. Clarity comes from doing. My pastor usually buttresses this point

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

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 gave testimonies against men's sin and evil, while Elisha's testimonies were inclined for salvation and preach God ' s m
