The Wheat and The Weed

Dear Sisters,

I trust the month of August has been (and will be) filled with divine encounters for you.

A word of encouragement before we dive right into what God has for us today: "Sometimes a drag in your faith and spiritual fire could mean you're doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing and doing it well, at that." - Priscilla Shirer

Not long ago I "re-read" one of the most popular parables in the bible and the revelation I got is strong and I thought to share on here.

In Matthew 13:24-30, we were told of the parable of a farmer that sowed good seeds and while the workers slept, the enemy came and planted weed (tares).

These stood out for me, like never before:

1. The owner of the farm didn't seem surprised when the workers came to report the incidence. After all, there was no mention of the Farmer sleeping. This reminds me of what David said in Psalm 121:4 "Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps." This for me also reinforces the sovereignty of God, nothing can catch HIM by surprise. God's best will always be ahead of us.

2.The Farmer knew how best to deal with the situation. God always has a way of 'escape' for His own though sometimes, it may seem like God is "not doing anything" concerning our case.

Sis, I enjoin you to be rest assured in His Promise and Oath. - Hebrews 6:18...Faithful is he who has said it, for He would also do.

3. The farmer allowed both the Wheat and Weed to "thrive" till the time of harvest. This can be likened to how you have both the godly and ungodly "prospering" and sometimes, we wonder why? This parable encourages us as believers not to envy the riches of the ungodly or compare ourselves to them. Where each of us spend eternity is the ultimate and that, should be our priority. Please let us stay focused on the race ahead of you and refuse to envy the ungodly or allow ourselves to be corrupted by them.

Another way to look at this is, the ungodly (the weed) exist for us to show them the way by shinning our light. I mean of what use is light when there is no darkness?

4. Lastly, I observed the Wheat and Weed looked so much alike that the workers could only differentiate each, by their Fruits. - Matthew 7:16, Galatians 5:22-23.

Do our daily lives show the fruits of the Spirit?

I pray that the Lord will reach out to you where you need the most as you internalize these in Jesus Name, Amen.

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 ...
