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.

Fast forward to the second week in March, I was invited to speak at the maiden edition of my Church's Job Seekers Summit. I was informed on March 9 that I was to speak on March 10. I had 24hours barely to prepare. But, God knew this day was ahead when, in January He inspired me to study the story, write out the points and the corresponding Bible verses the way I did.

God is such a good father - He prepares us for what is ahead. The question, though is, do we give ourselves to the process and discipline he requires from us? Are we humble and committed enough to handle the requirements of the assignment ahead?

Yes, we have been ordained as kings and priests from the foundations of the world, notwithstanding we need to go through the process of preparation. Sometimes it is our unwillingness to yield to these preparations that delays our promotion.

In our kingdom, preparation precedes promotion. Look at Joseph, David, Esther, Daniel; they all went through the preparation process before their promotion ‘came’.

In Psalms 105:19, the bible says until Joseph's word came, his character was tested.

Beloved, I urge you, don't neglect the process God is taking you through now; your character is being built, you are being prepared, and your promotion is ahead.

Have an Abundantly Blessed April!

Loads of Love,

Your Sis

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
