Evil Appearances

Dear Sisters, It's a great opportunity to be on this platform connecting with you again 😘😘 such a wonderful privilege. I trust you are doing very well, my prayer for you this season is that your expectations this season shall not be cut short in Jesus Name. A big congratulations 🎉to our sisters that graduated last week, I pray that the forces of life would work in your favour. Abstain from evil [shrink from it and keep aloof from it] in whatever form or whatever kind it may be. - 1 Thessalonians 5:22 AMPC The word appearance is described as the way something or someone looks. Often times we think appearance comes in form of a person but no, appearance could be a 'something'. And while the thing still looks like (appear) evil, we ought to flee. It looked to Joseph like Potiphar's wife was scheming to sleep with him, he fled at the appearance of adultery. Our insensitivity to flee from these appearances make them gain grounds in us. Had Joseph waited, ...

Sacrifice of Praise

Dearest Sisters, I count it a huge privilege and joy to be alive this time of the year. Truly, it's of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed. I remember it was exactly a week to Easter that I was involved in a car accident and I came out unhurt, unscratched! To Him alone be all the praise forever, Amen. If it has not been the Lord who is on our side, we would have been swallowed up quick by the wicked - for this, we are grateful. I do not want you to read this post downcast because of the things you perceive undone, look on the brighter side and see what he has done. How bad can your situation be? the account in Habbakuk 3:17-19: "Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord ! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is m...

Child Like

Beloved Sisters, I trust God that everyone is doing very fine and it's my pleasure connecting with you once again. If you read the previous post on 'that desire might be a mistake' you would agree with me that we have all been there at some point of our lives. I have wanted things God did not supply, craved what is not in His plans for me. In the end, i (my Faith) have (has) felt inadequate and in fact sometimes withdrawn or unworthy. This brings me to today's discussion of being child-like in our walk with Christ. In Matthew 18:3-4, Jesus answered and said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Children are characterised by many things one of which is how a child trusts totally and 'blindly'. Let me put this in better perspective: My 15months old son gets an...

That Desire Might be a MISTAKE!

Hello Sisters, Would you be kind enough to answer this question? Thank you (lol). Have you ever had to look back and thank God for what you once desperately wished for to work out/happen but never did? I could almost bet quite a lot have been here before. Now, I want you to know that He has a plan. He knows you far beyond you could ever think or know. He has all the views and sees way clearer than you could ever, so, it’s only wise to trust His plans. Somethings might have not worked out yet or would not at all because He has only the best thoughts and plans for you. You probably do not need those and that step could even be a mistake or setback He is shielding you from. Hey, He could be saving you from a huge waste of time, money, emotions and so on. Trust me, I know how it feels to be desperate about a ‘desire’ and the feelings of disappointment, even shame that may emerge when it isn’t in view. But why don’t we see it as something we got saved from. For that ...

Humility

Dear Sisters, I thank God for His infinite mercies over you and I. It's the sixth month of the year and His mercies have been new each morning. In the order of Revelation 22:2 "It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations"....may this month bear to us it's fruit in JESUS Name. Amem The subject of humility is one that is often misconstrue and easily flouted by many. Still it is one quality that is dear to the heart of God so much Jesus said in Matthew 5:5 that "God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth." Humility is described as being meek - being respectful of others. In fact, it is a fruit of the Spirit, "But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbea...

The Life After

Sweet Sister, I trust everyone is doing well. My prayer is that, may we all live a life truly worthy of His calling and His Kingdom. "And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?" Mark 8:36 NLT Sometimes we live through life and forget the life after. The life after is the end, this life we live now is a means to an end. We must never forget that. The question then is, does our current life portray this 'end'? Or we allow ourselves get lost in the flow of life that we forget we are sent here on an assignment. This is my admonition, that in our deeds, our speech, our daily living, we would do all with heaven in mind. This is the great commission: "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." -Matthew 28:19 NLT Let us consider our ways before we act, does it lead others to Christ or away from Him? What guides your actions? What i...

The WORD vs words

Hello Sis, It can be no truer that, “you don’t war with (mere) words, but The Word”.   There is absolutely nothing like a prayer warrior who only prays with mere words. Trust me, he is only in for a major exercise rather than results. You aren’t praying if you aren’t praying The Word. The Bible says, “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly....” (Col. 3:16). Whatever it is that you desire, it is not enough to lock up yourself night and day ‘praying’ mere words. Reason is simple, The Word is His will. And His word says, “And this is the confidence we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us”. As Christians, it’s time to stop making God seem as a liar and untrue to those who are without.  I think that it is only logic to do something the right way. If we have the right way to getting results, its only wisdom to do it. Now, I will say that, the word you have stuffed in you will not only help you pray aright but help duri...
