Grow
Yes, you!

Grow!!!

*Siri play "Lover Of My Soul by Jonathan McReynolds"

But what I lack
You are full of
Where I'm broken
You are whole
What I'm doubting
You are sure of
So I'll trust the lover
Lover of my soul

Don’t let/use anything as an excuse not to grow.

Be it:
Laziness
Unfavorable Circumstances
Sickness
Mental Health
Family

The truth is that whatever excuse you’ve been using as a reason not to grow, someone somewhere is using that as a fuel to get better.

I recently watched stories of people who turned their situations around just because they were determined to beat those situations.

The most interesting being the story of a lady who had a life threatening heart-condition and the doctor told she had to have an operation to live. She went for another doctors opinion and was told that if she changed her life habits she wouldn’t need the operation. Guess what, she’s alive today and very fit. She spent at least an hour in the gym every day from that time till now doing the very things she would’ve not be able to do just because she decided Enough is Enough. Her heart is fine and she’s better for it.

The question to ask is, what am I using as a crutch?

Is it:
I don’t have this and that....
My Health this and that....
Nobody helped me...
My mental health this... & that

As a believer our ultimate help, strength and joy comes from one person, Jesus.

The problem with these crutches is that they start out legitimately but soon become a wall that doesn't let people tell you the truth, makes you dismissive and feel attacked when they point it out.

Truth HURTS most times, but it's still the truth😢

I should know, I’ve used all these excuses, and what I’ve found out is that many times, they are just a mask for fear sometimes, or the real reason which might be that I’ve not be doing the things I ought to do for a healthy and robust Spirit.

So my charge today is that you throw your insufficiency into God’s sufficiency.

Pray
Worship
Most importantly, never do it alone, take advantage of the believers God put in your life.

I found this song back in 2014 and 6 years later it still blesses me, it's the entire album for me!

Swipe for the song 👉🏼

I just thought to share this with y’all.

This is Beauty Queen (Interlude) by Serge.
Enjoy!!!

Beauty Queen (Interlude)

The term happily ever after, won't be necessary for this story,
because it's much better how they embark on new endeavors,
But someone is going to have to give me a good enough reason to watch another love movie,
when I have been given a titanic notebook that speaks of a walk to remember,
like this husband who looks and sees his wife die,
intercedes then his wife rise,
and now every internet browser shuts down from the connection when he looks into his wife's eyes (Wi-Fi’s),
When you hear beauty queen,
it's synonymous to the blood of Christ,
When I tell you that she hears music,
it was really the GOOD NEWS that Christ sacrificed his life and now she’s not dead at all!
And as much as I wanna insert a punchline
I'm more concerned that you get the reason that he met her for (metaphor),
cuz her,
he was never writing off!
And even with all her rightful flaws
he prepared a place for his bride and all
now you see his beauty queen is riding off!!!

Mind-blowing right!!!

Share this GOOD NEWS (share this post and the gospel) with at least three people!!!

If God were man!
-
I'm sure You've heard this phrase before, probably in it's reversed form, but what if I could prove that He was a man!
-
Did you know that God became a man? In case you didn't, I'm letting you know that He did, and because He did we can learn about His characteristics and actions in a proper study!
The entire first chapter of Hebrews was written as a defense to this fact!
(Read Heb 1)
He was a man, a man called Jesus
-
So if God were man what would He do?
No need to think far, I can show you what He would do!
-
If God were man, He would pray!
-
Jesus was God in the flesh & often was found praying!
-
Luke 3:21
Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened,
-
He was found praying from his baptism!
-
Matthew 14:23
After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.
-
Mark 6:46
After bidding them farewell, He left for the mountain to pray.
-
Luke 6:12
It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.
-
Mark 1:35
In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.
-
Luke 5:16
But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.
-
He was found praying OFTEN
-
Luke 9:18
And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?”
-
Matthew 26:36
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
-
He was found RETREATING to pray!
-

And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”

Matthew 26:42
He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
-
Matthew 26:44
And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

did a voice over for a piece that I wrote a while back, I thought I should share it with you! Head over to her page for the voice over, but I'll be posting the piece here!

Okay, you met a new guy!

Previous relationships have been gbas gbos. You broke off the last one because you knew it was no good, you were in multiple relationships at the same time, because you couldn't be satisfied with one! Although you knew how toxic each one was and how draining they could be, you kept on adding!

Every new partner seemed to run a tighter shift/hold over you! They were abusive, demanding, and never rewarding! It was pure slavery, but it was slavery you couldn't live without, it was slavery you loved!
You loved spending moments with them!

In a way, you were sold to them, and like those slave auctions, you were the treasure most didn't buy because they never saw your potential, so you were sold for nothing!
A giveaway!

And so started your journey of slavery, from one master to another, never totally leaving hold of the former, it was joint ownership!

Jealousy seemed like a joke compared to the way they were towards you, and you bought the lie that ”they must be doing this because they love me”!

"Their tight hold expressed their love!" you thought!

Oh the pain, you endured in the hands of these people makes me cry, makes me want to scream!

You were the ”always in the market” person, and even though everyone knew your active and inactive partners, yes, I said it! Partners!!!

You're the ”Poly” in Polygamy, but people didn't care, you had something they all wanted! You had treasures, you had worth, even though you couldn't see it, they could, and for sure everyone wanted a piece of the cake!!!

In a sense, you were the author of ”Open” relationships.

The New Guy!!!

This new guy was something!!!
He was gentle, calm, collected, thoughtful; always taking the initiative!

He saw your needs, he would bind you broken bones after a brutal beating from one of your ”partners”, he would feed you, treat you like the treasure you are!

Family is contagious
-
I'm sure you've heard of the saying;
”In my family we don't _____”
Referring to the idea every family has its own way of life!
-
-
Influence is contagious
Have you ever found yourself doing something you wouldn't ordinarily do because someone respect did or is doing it?
-
E.g: Doing a new dance step you thought was weird or razz?
-
-
Friendship is contagious
-
I can't count how many times I have listened to a song because a friend was listening to it, good or bad!
-
-
Environment is contagious
-
I remember my exam in 2018, I had been goofing around and then it was announced that exams are in 2 weeks time. It hit me then that I needed a new environment that aided reading and so I searched for private libraries around, found one and paid for the exam period!
-
It turned out to be the best decision I made then!
-
-
Culture is contagious
-
This reminds me of a popular statement made in reference to the culture;
”We don't do that here”
-
I remember in school, when the student population did some out place like exclaim towards new school rules, our dean would say ”We don't ”ahhh” here” 😂🤣
-
-
These things in themselves are not bad until used in the wrong way
-
As humans, our brains are wired to respond to stimuli
-
What stimulates your mind?
Who stimulates your mind?
-
Are being influenced wrongly?
Are you friends the right one's?
-
-
Value true Christian relationships (the ones that walk the walk and talk the talk)
-
Paul told us to stay away from those who claim to be brothers and sisters in the faith but don't walk the walk!
(He did this as a means of correction to the other party, to show that they are wrong and also as a means of protecting yourself from walking in their footsteps)

CHOOSE YOUR CONTAGION
CHOOSE WISELY!

When I first heard this song by I was blown away!!!
-
I just had to try something out!
-
If my heart could tell a story
If my life would sing a song
If I have a testimony
If I have anything at all
-
No one ever cared for me like Jesus
His faithful hand has held me all this way
And when I'm old and grey
And all my days are numbered on the earth
Let it be known in you alone
My joy was found
Oh my joy, my joy
-
Let my children tell their children
Let this be their memory
That all my treasure was in heaven
And you were everything to me
-
No one ever cared for me like Jesus
His faitful hand has held me all this way
And when I'm old and grey
And all my days are numbered on the earth
Let it be known in you alone
My joy was found
I've found my joy
-
I'm still in love
Your still enough for me
Still all I want
Your still my everything
I'm still in love
Your still enough for me
Still all I want
Your still my everything
-
No one ever cared for me like Jesus
His faitful hand has held me all this way
And when I'm old and grey
And all my days are numbered on the earth
Let it be known in you alone
My joy was found

-

This line reminds me of a line from another personal favorite ”In Christ Alone”
-
”From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny”
-
In such a time like this, it's important to note that no one ever cared for you and I like Jesus did!
-
How?
-
He died on the cross, tasted death for all men so we can not taste life but live it!
-
Because of His death we can walk in the newness of life!
-
Christ is the end to mans effort futile effort to please God!
-
He's the demonstration of God's proactiveness to save man and give him an everlasting fellowship with his maker!
-
In Christ we now have that fellowship, that emptiness and longing to fill that space in every man has been satisfied in Christ!
-
What He has done has provided for all our needs!
-
So you see, the man in Christ can boldly say this:
-
No one ever cared for me like Jesus.
-
No one else saw what he (man) really needed and met that need.

Opps, I almost forgot!
The hook is my favorite part!!!

This is the PART-TWO of a two-part post, if haven't seen the first one, please check my page!

THIS IS A TWO-PART POST, CHECK FOR THE NEXT ONE!!!

Go through every picture!

In other news, the text below is a miniature excerpt from yesterday's message on PURPOSE at please do your best get it!

It's a principle of peace and maturity to learn what you can't control.

There are two types of people:

1. Those who give up during trials
2. Those who go through the trails.

It's not about the trails, but about the person.

When trials come, if you don't have a reason to live you'll give up.

Purpose kept the early church in times of persecution.

Purpose is that one thing for which you were created and at which you must succeed otherwise nothing else you succeed at will count.
- P.I.E

The purpose of every man is the same.

To know Christ and to make Him known.

So this is me giving you a reason!

Much love!
😘

Here's a train of thought:

Rom 8:11.

If there's enough power in this body to raise it up from the dead when Christ comes, there's surely more than enough power to heal every sickness it may be experiencing.

I refuse to settle for less!

Matt 4:24

Christ couldn't tolerate sickness on earth, He healed everytime. Even after His death, He healed through the apostles.

Matt 8:16

He was always ready to heal, to demonstrate His willingness and the potency of His power when received by faith!

Matt 14:14

Acts 3

So were the Apostles!

Acts 5:15

It was so potent that shadows were healing the sick, I mean shadows!

Power dwells in you believer! Paul prayed for you recognize this power in Eph 1:16-23.

He lives in us today, surely His disposition today hasn't changed toward sickness and diseases.

If He lives in me, he definitely doesn't want sickness in me too. He’s more than ready to heal me than I'm ready to be healed.

Wow!!!

That's some truth there!!!

Eph 3:20.

It's according to His power at work in us!

He surely heals today through every believer who is ready to believe in His healing power and put it to work!

Healing is mine.

Healing is yours.

Healing belongs to us!

Are you in need of healing?

It's absolutely not difficult and not far from you!

The same required for salvation is the same faith required for healing.

Simple Childlike faith!

It's as simple ”I believe and I receive!”

Stick to it! Just as you stuck to your salvation! In your words and in your actions!

HEALING IS AT WORKING IN ME!

Say it to yourself! Sick or not, Healing is at work in me!

Refuse to settle for less!

I hope this blessed as it did me!

I call you blessed!

Much love!
😘

The Grace of God has the ability to turn the vilest of offenders to new men.

The rapists, the pedophiles, the murders and the seemingly lost cases!

Let's take Apostle Paul as a case study!

Acts 9:1-6.

1 Cori 15:8-11.

Eph 3:8.

That is what the Gospel is, the miracle of changed desires!

Big sin, Small sin, the same solution; the Grace of God.

The realization of the utter helplessness of man to save himself, and his need for a saviour.

Faith in Christ’s death as payment for their sins.

The reception of the gift of righteousness and the gift of God's Spirit.

The new mechanism at work in the one who receives the gospel in faith.

It is a fact that Christ died for ALL!

Jesus Is For Everybody!

Remember this when you step out to preach the gospel.

Remember this everytime you catch. yourself thinking ”this one is a lost cause”.

Christ specializes in lost causes! He died for you and I, did He not!

Preach the gospel and let the specialist do what He does best, let him save the lost!

Selah!

Hey Fam,

It's been a while, I hope this blesses you!
A track from Beautiful Eulogy.

Devotion
Beautiful Eulogy

What is authentic faith?

The cultivation of an optimistic outlook on
life with a kind of spirituality attached to it?
A holy hoping for the best?
Is this how you think of faith?

Authentic faith is the confident assurance in events not yet seen
Faith is not a call to believe in
things when common sense tells you not to
Faith is not a mindless stab in the dark

It is not a crossing of the fingers and hoping for the best
It is not a leap into apparent nothingness
It's a word that speaks of reasoned,
careful, deliberate, intentional thought

Thought upon what? God and his promises
If you are absolutely gripped by the coming realities that have been
promised to you by God,
then how you live your life in the present will be
radically different than if you did not possess that certainty
This is what faith is, my friends!

Positive certainty expressed in action
Authentic faith is not merely believing in God. It is believing God

Taking God at his word,
living in obedience to his revelation whatever the cost because you
know down deep in your bones that God will
always do what he says, that his speaking is his doing
It is an abiding assurance in God in his promises
that animates you to persevere in your obedience to Him

Do you wish to be a more consistently obedient,
steadily persevering Christian? A stronger Christian?
A more courageous and outspoken
Christian? Then you need to strengthen your faith!
Your faith instinctively strengthens in direct
proportion to the expansion of the object of your faith

You expand your understanding of the object of
your faith and faith itself will obediently follow
The object of your faith---if indeed you are a
Christian---is Jesus Christ and all of his promises

Is your faith weak?
It is owing to the fact you don't
know the object of your faith well enough
But when Jesus Christ becomes progressively bigger, or better yet,
your understanding of who he is progressively conforms
to reality, your faith will become increasingly stronger
