Love Is The Greatest Of All

Dear Sisters,

A lot has happened lately, and of the lessons learnt, the lesson on living an impactful/purposeful life stands out the most.

Lately, I wake up asking for grace to love more. After all that is the fundamental and greatest command - to love God and love our neighbors as ourselves.

Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Matthew 22:37‭, ‬39)

No wonder Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13 discusses at length that if we have all things but don't have love, it's vanity - ICorithians 13:1-13.

That is why I come to the conclusion that our purpose is to love.

One of the most talked about yet complex issue ever is the subject of P.U.R.P.O.S.E

Ever wondered why some acclaimed 'successful ' people commit suicide? They simply lacked fulfilment, their riches/fame notwithstanding.

Walking in purpose is the only thing that counts in the end. It is about living out the glory of God in any capacity we find ourselves by showing love.

How often should we work in purpose?

Daily!

Even when we don't feel we have love to give, we should love.

How do I walk in love purposefully? Rely on the Holy Spirit.

I find myself asking the Holy Spirit to help me show love in all that I do. It could be by speaking or writing soothing words.

We are placed in diverse communities and can express love to all:

1. As daughter of God - we love through worship

2. As a WOTGK - we love through our words, checking up on each other.

3.Wife - To love our husbands unconditionally.

4. Mother - to love through Godly parenting

5. Colleague /business owners : we are admonished to encourage one another, be a blessing to others and to be considerate.

We must acknowledge this call upon our lives and stretch our capacity to love.

The bible is our greatest revelation of what love is. The more we dwell in the Word the more we get aware of what is expected of us by God.

In the end, purpose is not far fetched, it is us living our lives daily as God as commanded us to in various capacities.

Purpose is not abstract. It is real and actual.

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 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....
