Getting Hold of the Sword of God in Our Lives



 It has been a very interesting time with the Lord, but I am back to share my endeavors.  A lot can happen in a few weeks, or months but Boy! I’m so glad that Jesus is always vouching for us.  I have learnt the importance of reading the word of God. The word of God is the TRUE Sword, actively fighting for us. Interesting how we have fortified things that speak in our lives and often forget what the word of God Says.

You can never get enough of God’s word; it is always refreshing and directing us the TRUTH.  The bible is the only book that reads you as you read it, It’s the Divine Mwakenya (comes through at all times) :) .You shall KNOW the Truth and the TRUTH shall set you free; most of us are bound because we do not believe the Truth (the word of GOD). 

Just as a personal testimony, I never knew what amazing grace was until I was delivered from being a wretch. Now, before you try to guess what sort of mess I was dealing with allow me to say this: All that glitters is not gold. Not everything that comes your way is from heaven, it sure does look like it but it is not IT. The Truth is always clear; when it doesn’t feel right it’s not right. The Holy Spirit is always an inner witness, and he always testifies the TRUTH.

We often miss opportunities because they come dressed in overalls and aprons. The Pharisees couldn’t accept Jesus because they thought “What good thing can come from Nazareth?”  Sometimes it’s not the complex stuff that will get us where we want to be it’s the simple stuff.  It is the 30 minutes you spend with God every day, forgiving and letting go, your time fellow shipping with believers, that’s the real growth.

Do not be caught up wanting to fast for 40 days in Kalahari and you don’t have a clue what John 3:16 says.  It is like trying to drive while you are blind-folded, that is not faith my friend let’s call it foolishness. I have no problem with radical Christians, I just feel like we should be GROUNDED in the Word of God. That way you can answer back to the devil “IT IS WRITTEN “.

Ask anyone who works out at a gym, they didn’t just Muscle UP!  They had to start somewhere, they had to sacrifice some luxuries and indulge in some self discipline. The outside manifestation of the Abs and the well toned body is as a result of some routine exercise.  

 The same applies to us Christians; if you want to shade some carnal / worldly weight … then you have to work out the word of God. You won’t have to say that you have been reading and praying, people will see it. You shall know them by their fruits! It’s cool that we want to be sold out for Jesus but Jesus Loves Fruitful People because that is how the kingdom of God will grow.

Don’t focus on how to do it, focus of Jesus for He will give you the Power, ability and zeal to do it. He knows every weakness but He says that when you are weak he is strong. He is the True VINE! And we draw strength from Him, He is the WORD! (John 1:1).

 Read your Bible, pray every day, And you’ll grow, grow, grow.  Such a sweet Children song but many grown Christians need this to be their Alarm tune and their ring-back tune.   May we find the strength to be constant in God’s word because it is the true essence and blueprint of our existence.
 Shalom

Why the Devil wants You for Dessert ! - On the Menu

Let’s agree to disagree, this year has a point to prove, it’s in a rush. It’s on the run to somewhere; it has to be there by December.     I am not sure whether I am the one experiencing this, but Sunday is such a throw stone away from Monday nowadays. It feels like yesterday I was huffing and puffing trying to get my resolutions together, it’s now July . Anyway I am buckling up and keeping up with the speed levels of 2018.   2018, if you can hear me, I am breaking sweat as well, we shall revisit and settle in December. .................... I love Nigerians, it’s not their Jollof rice or their incredible sense of art, and it’s their oomph! ,   I have a thing for their vigour. I find them so boisterous in their confession especially. You can tell when Jesus said, the kingdom suffers violence and the violent shall take it by force, that was for them.   I have limited knowledge about them but I have managed to gather a few traits here and...

THE OTHER WOMAN - The Leveled-Up Woman.

  Ever heard of this saying? “Women are their own worst enemies?   The tales about how women do not support each other and other lies?  Here to demystify.   Well, lately I have been thinking about women and the power we have to influence each other. I am sure you are thinking ‘here she goes again with the feminism talk ’, 😂be kind, I promise to take you on a different tangent.   The thing I have learnt about life is that if you do not like what you see ,then be the change.  I do not want to be benighted to the fact that there are times when we might have witnessed women being used in    impious   rivalry, malice and guile.   There is that but , there is also another narrative of women who built each other, championed each other for God’s glory. Let’s get straight up into the word. Hannah and Peninnah .   These were Co-wives to one man. Hannah was on the other side of have not.   She was childless; she...

Listen , JUST DO IT ✔

Guys, in a few days I will a year older! September is that month for me. Yaaay ! Deep down I want to celebrate and pop some bottles (in this case water or a juice of choice) but something in me wants to care for more. In my walk as a Christian, there are times when I feel overwhelmed, not good enough, inadequate. If I can be candid, it is a very desperate place yet it is indispensable for growth.  Have you ever been tired? Tired of mediocrity, unfruitfulness, lack of progress, retrogression, tired of the norm , just tired ! There is nothing wrong with feeling tired, in fact I have learnt that when you feel tired it’s because you have been laboring for something. There is no problem in wanting IN, wanting more, it’s not greed; it’s a level of pursuit. Don’t get me wrong, I am very grateful for what God pours into my life, He is so kind and loving, I can attest. I however feel like I am in a place where I know there is more in God and I cannot afford to shrink back and be compl...
