Nuggets On The Journey (Part1)



I will be real and open as I can in this blog …. My journey, struggles, milestones and others .They could change someone’s life ,  it’s about taking steps of faith and being a vessel for God. 

Some of the things I have learnt…
Fallout from PUBLIC OPINION …. People will always talk whether you do good or bad. That is a cliché saying that I find very relevant. As soon as you were born, people had countless opinions about you…. You are fat, dark, bright, dumb and what not, people never quit talking.

Opinions especially as a Christian are the least of things to counter for. God’s Opinion validates you. Jeremiah 29:11.  So many people looking for identity from the world yet the Lord has the Blueprint standard of who you really are.

2. Try as much to fellowship with likeminded people .Sometimes ,push comes to show and you need someone reliable to talk to.

..Personally, this was hard because all my cool friends had to go, sometimes you have to lose to gain. I honestly think I have the coolest friends in Christ, who help me grow and challenge my faith and I wouldn’t have met them if I did not let go.


3. Read the bible and mediate upon the word, get inspirational books or CDS that can help you grow.   

Start small, Chew what you can swallow and with time it will be easy like reading you favorite Newsfeed. Watching sermons really increased my spiritual hunger as well as checking out scriptures.  It’s a journey that starts with a step, then you perfect it as you go on. Good thing we have a savior (Jesus)and a helper (HolySpirit)who lead the way.

Lastly, No one is perfect, you will fall, miss some steps, grow weary, wake up feeling like you need a break …. Everyone around you won’t understand, but keep going. 

The Whole point of Salvation is what exactly? you may ask.
 Its Finding Peace, Love, Identity,comfort,Forgiveness and Redemption...Walking in Purpose and finding Rest in Jesus Christ.

 We all have a journey, it cannot be same but these are some of the things that helped me and still help me grow.

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...

Consider an Oak Tree

 I like to think of myself as a patient yet inpatient person, ( a paradox right?). I am patient towards others yet treat myself with some level of impatience. Self imposed timelines for myself are what  I would consider the yeast to my rising dough.  Something I am unlearning as I grow older. But what stretched this for me is that the older we grow, the more we are inclined to look, feel and be seen to be productive, proactive, securing whatever the bag is. That is why even on social media, it is those that have “results of the day” or what corporate lingo may call “KPI’s” that seem to ammerse a following.  Let’s consider this verse.  Isaiah 61:3  They will be called oaks of righteousness,      a planting of the  Lord      for the display of his splendor. Now let’s consider an  Oak -  “ Oak trees generally take  several decades  to reach maturity, with most species taking around 30-40 yea...

Loving Right and Staying Tight

It’s February, Finally!!   Yeey! And after the intense Part A and B of January we could use some LOVE.     I wrote this post like 5 days ago but I wasn’t particularly sure this was what I want to write on. Anyways, as I was delaying on this matter we had a small ladies random discussion and fellowship with my girls about single-hood, engagements and marriages. That served as   my confirmation that surely the Lord had placed this in my heart for a reason.    Let’s admit, your timeline is full of everyone getting engaged, and it looks like they met yesterday and you have no choice but to like and type (Aaaaw   # goals # Godspeed ), Yes ? . Don’t get me wrong, we are happy for them and wish them all the best, but like everyone else we too, long for our turn when the piece of Pie gets over to us.  Can we have a heart to heart? P.s the post is longer than usual ...Mapenzi Overdrive :)
