You Are Being Built

By

 


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

The Creative Power

By
 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

By
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
