God, I don't have...

Sometimes, we don't know what we have until we see what we don't have...

Health in the face of Sickness
Life in the face of Death
Wealth in the face of Poverty
Liberty in the face of Bondage
Being Whole in the face of being Deformed
Joy in the face of Sorrow
Having it Easy in the face of Struggling
Having someone to Love in the face of Loneliness
Living with Purpose in the midst of NFA's(No Future Ambitions)
Living in Abundance in the face of Scarcity/Want
Having a Job in the face of Joblessness
Riding in Comfort in the face of Hustling in sweat

We are blessed with infinite blessings each day but the only way to be appreciative is to thank God for what you don't have...4th Feb, 2017

Happy Sunday People!!! Have a blessed week ahead... #Inspire me.

Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!

It was no longer rumours, rather, it had become stale gist hanging in the air...the hike in fuel price, three months ago, had made men stock their houses with jerry cans of fuel in their different sizes, ranging from 5 litres to 50 litres, as their pockets could handle.

This was the scene at Mr Williams house, on that fateful Sunday Afternoon. Ben, his 11 yr old boy, such a curious one was carrying out an experiment he had learnt from school, those "don't try it at home experiments", the experiment was at its final stage, all it needed was a bit of solvent, "what would be a better solvent, if not petrol?", he asked aloud.

Straight to the backyard, he took just a little, screwed the cap of the can back and left to continue his experiment.

Six hours later, while the family sat to have dinner, Bisi, the house maid was two blocks away, gisting with Iya Tunde, the pepper seller, when....BOOM!!!...
  A large pillow of Fire and Smoke with the remainings of the house was seen scattered in the air. That was the last, seen of the Williams...

Few days later, when the area was searched for the cause of the fire explosion, it was discovered that one of the jerry cans was leaking, spilling petrol, then, there was a spark from a naked wire which ignited the leaked petrol, straight to the other jerry cans that were full of petrol arranged side by side...

PLEASE NOTE: Let us be careful in the way we store our fuel..Check your jerry cans regularly, for any defect or leakage, make sure the caps are tightened properly.

"Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well."1 John 1:2, NIV

The Forgotten Ones 1

Daddy, Daddy, where's Mummy? Daddy, I'm hungry. Daddy...
"Aisha, Shh...", He whispered in distress.
They were hidden in an underground room under the house but that did not mean, a slightest sound made could not be heard from above.
  Since 2pm, right after the news circulated that gunned men were seen ransacking the closest town, some kilometres away, terror, fear, dread and silence had fallen on this town as a blanket.

With the 6'o clock prayer meeting abandoned not out of forgetfulness, rather to the last killings that happened two weeks ago while the offering bag was being passed round in the darkly lit room, filled with shadows of men and women alike, not because there was no provision for light but so as not to rouse the curiosity or attention of even a passerby, still, that did not stop the information from getting out. It was on this day that Aisha's mum along with some other brethren were shot to death, a sum total of 45 people.

"Jesus, for how long shall this continue, Jesus, save us..Jesus, preserve us..There's no food in town as every trader has gone into hiding..Jesus, send help..Jesus, raise men to pray for us..Jesus, fight for us..Jesus, Arise..Jesus, vindicate us..Jesus, Jesus, Jesus...", Aisha's father prayed this while speaking in tongues in as low tones as possible.

PLEASE, ARISE & PRAY FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, MOTHERS AND FATHERS IN THE NORTH, THEY ARE IN DIRE NEED OF OUR PRAYERS...

"Lord, save your people, the remnant of the Christians in the Northern part of Nigeria."Jeremiah 31:7b,NIV

What did God do for you in the year 2016???

- He delivered me from the Spirit of depression.
- He broke away the bondages and chains of fear that has held me down for as long as secondary school.
- He always responded when I questioned him, He didn't leave me hanging.
- He revealed to me things to happen so that nothing would catch me unaware.
- He opened my eyes through this scriptures: John 14:27, John 17:17.
- He saved me from the fangs of sickness and the claws of death.
- He surrounded me with a strong support system: from My Lovely Family to my Amazing friends to My Ever Attentive and Discerning Spiritual Mentors.
- He opened up my voice and anointed her.
- He opened my eyes and gave me the grace to learn how to save money.
- He loved me and took care of me like his child, that I am.
- He taught me that life, good health, education, provision, are all miracles that we experience daily, but we take for granted.
- I read so much books, and that increased my knowledge sphere.
- I learnt from Him that when things don't work out, He wants you to learn lessons from it because He's preparing you for something much greater and you will need to apply what you have learnt to sustain you.
- I went through one of the most challenging and silent times of my life with God and I came out victorious because He never left my side, NEVER!

I am blessed, If God did all this for me last year, then, I can say:
Lord, increase my greatness in the
- knowledge of who you are,
- knowledge of what Life is all about

Lord, increase my greatness in my capability to thank you at every moment for the things you have done, you are doing and the things you will do(even though, you have already done it)

Lord, increase my greatness in the area of trusting you and Understanding that I can not always be in control and that is okay because as long as you are in charge, NOTHING can go wrong.

Lord, increase my greatness in my finances corner, more moneyinspirations.

I could write and write but for now, I have decided to drop my pen and continue to thank him for how much He was to me in the last year...He did quite a lot and I didn't notice, probably because I didn't write it down.

I encourage you, today or whenever you are free but as soon as possible, find a spot where you can think...Then, reflect on how the last year went, the things God did for you...As you recall, write down as much as you can.
  When you are through, read through all the points and you would be amazed at all the things the Lord has done for you, that you never took note of...
  Share these testimonies with your friends, family, your Facebook friends, your WhatsApp friends, Church, this is because the more you share, the more God sends more blessings and the Devil is conquered...

"And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their TESTIMONY. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die."Revelations 12:11, NLT.

The Lord bless you and Keep you, in Jesus Mighty name...Amen. Have a lovely day today.#Reflect2016/17

Happy New Year..I am glad you made it!!!

I confess that I consider the entrance into the New Year, a privilege and blessing, not just for me, but for my family, friends, and everyone that has been a part of the family of Christ...
  Today, I might not write much because apart from the fact that I am still in awe of how fast the last year came and went, I am in greater awe on how the Lord saw me through the last year, the lessons He taught me, the bondages and captivities He set me free from and so much more...I do not intend to sound selfish but I intend to reflect on all the past and look forward to the future, not alone but with God on my side, holding my right hand and leading me wherever he intends to take me to...

This year, My Personal theme: To trust the Lord with all that I am and with all I have.
For, I do not know what the future holds, so my only take is to trust the One who knows and is totally in charge. I encourage you to do the same. It is well with You. I pray that the Lord holds your hand in this era of change and grants you clear direction, gives you strenght and enable you to fulfill the plans and promises of God for your life and the grace to continue strong and finish well in this out Christian race.

I am glad you made it into this new year, but you must also realise that with such a great gift as life comes a greater responsibility, to establish the Kingdom of God, here on earth.In this new year, I encourage you to make conscious efforts to expand the kingdom of God here on earth because remember, we are all just passing through this earth...We are all pilgrims, Our final destination is Our Heavenly home and there the full family awaits us all....I can't wait!!!!!

Happy New Year People of God..Happy New Year...It is going to be a great year..Welcome, Once Again..

The Faith Principle!

The Holy Spirit once, No!, more than once, infact, everyday tells me that "What you believe, you get", this is not a prayer.
  He said, "Simply believing is the key", If you believe it, it would work for you.

He said, "Why most Christians don't attain the places & positions God has destined for them or posess the possessions that is rightly theirs is simply because they lack faith."

Most times, we attribute faith like it's a prayer to God but have you really looked at the meaning of Faith.
 FAITH: This is substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, Heb. 11:1(KJV),
   In simpler terms:
FAITH: This is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen, it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

NOTE: Although, it is God-oriented, there is no mention of God in the definition.
   It is simply believing in your heart that what you want, you get it.

Yes, God works in us to produce faith and helps us to do what pleases him but please realise that Faith is a divine(God-iniated) principle that is 90% dependent on man, 5% dependent on luck and chance(or circumstances) and 5% on God.

Just like other principles that work when you apply them even if you might not know the origin or originator, the same applies with Faith!
  I have never met Issac Newton but that doesn't mean I am not affected by the Law of gravity.
   This is why you can see an atheist or non-believer (of Christ) prospering and expanding, they are simply applying the Faith principle, and it is working for them.

The Faith principle can be applied to every area of your life, How?
  By speaking positive words especially the words of God(biblical scriptures).

Let's take a look at this scenario,
Bisi is having troubles with her finances; eating, transport and taking care of her family is becoming increasingly difficult.

She doesn't give up or get depressed, instead She says,"The Lord shall supply ALL my needs according to his riches in glory, My family and I are living off the bank account of heaven, Lines are falling for me in pleasant places, I can never be stranded, I receive help from strangers", and so on.
  The words start to take effect immediately, Bisi might not feel like she's prospering but she begins to see God's hands in everything she does.
  The Faith principle works for her. The Faith principle can work for you.

All you have to do is BELIEVE & SPEAK IT to reality and It is yours(in Jesus name)!

P.S: I would love your hear your testimonies of how you applied *Faith* and how it worked for you...

Have a lovely day ahead! #Shalom #Inspire me thoughts

November: A Month of .....

When I heard "Begin to thank God for allowing you to see & enter the month of November", I thought I was dreaming or I did not hear well.
   When did November come? It was like this month just sneaked up on me.

How? Wait o, do you mean October is really over? Na wa o..

First, I must say "God, My God, Thank you".
So, you mean next month is December, just like that, the end of the year is here, Christmas, How na?

Hmm, that means increase in market prices, even with the current hike in prices..Kai!!!

Well, Baba God(My Surest Daddy), I stand on your word that says "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus".
  In this month, up till December, My family and I feed on the riches(*the bank account) of heaven, in Jesus name.

November, November, the preparation month for the "show" in the village that one has arrived....which means the month that records an increase in the rate of money ritual resulting to increase in negative vices like kidnapping, road-sea-air accidents...

Baba God(My 24-7-365 always available Daddy), your word says that "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety".
  Lord, I claim your promises of protection for my family and myself. We shall not entertain any sympathy party, they will Passover the gates of our house, in Jesus name...

Shout out to the month of November: On behalf of my family, my loved ones and myself, the word of the Lord says that "He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases", so we walk in the wholeness of life, we enjoy vitality and good health...

Wait, Please wait o, I hope you have been claiming these promises, for they are not just for me & my family but also for you and your family.
As long as you claim it, It is yours.

Claim it: As for me & my family, in this month, The Lord shall surprise us with THE ELEVENTH HOUR MIRACLE.

Welcome to the month of THE ELEVENTH HOUR BREAKTHROUGH.
Happy New Month!!!
