Happy Easter!!!



Someone may be wondering, but we've already concluded the Easter celebration... Well, what Jesus did for us is meant to be celebrated every single day we have breath, forever!!!💃💃💃

So today, we will have a brief discourse on the reason Himself, Jesus😄 Feel free to leave your comments below😉

All through last weekend and even before the season began, one thing has been on my mind: Jesus's finished work for me must not be in vain. There are two ways to look at this. His work could be in vain if we allow sin to reign over us again like it did to Adam, and it could also be in vain if we still go through every other negative thing He went through, when He went through those things so we would no longer experience them. What do I mean?

The first point is clear to many of us. The book of Romans helps us understand that Jesus won the victory for us over sin and therefore we do not have to be slaves to sin any more. We simply have to exercise our God-given authority over sin and by the help of the Holy Spirit, die daily to the flesh and live for God's glory. 

The second point however, which is where I'm headed, simply implies that it was never God's will for us to leave in sickness, poverty, failure, depression, shame etc. Name it! Jesus came, took all of these on Him so we would no longer be captives of these things. (Isaiah 53, 2 Cor. 8:9). Why did I separate sin from the others? There are Christians today, living holy for Jesus, preaching the gospel and serving God wholeheartedly who are still suffering everything Jesus already suffered on their behalf! 

For goodness sake, He paid for your freedom in full, and He paid it in your name!

So, live the life He suffered so you could live! Stop cheating yourself or allowing the devil cheat you. Jesus did it for you; don't let His finished work be in vain! Don't settle for less than what God has ordained you to have. Yes, seek first the kingdom but keep in mind that Jesus already purchased a fulfilled life for you on earth and has released everything you'll need to live fulfilled here on earth. So as you seek the kingdom wholeheartedly,  ensure you don't get to heaven and regret why you didn't touch 1/1000th of what God stored up for you. There will be challenges and persecutions nevertheless, God has promised to be with us and guide us through the life of an overcomer.

In conclusion, take what is yours! Give the devil no opportunity to rob you off what Jesus already willed to you. It's your inheritance in Christ! Possess it, while your eyes still remain focused on the Author and Finisher of your faith, Jesus.

P.S: If you are yet to have a relationship with Jesus, He's been waiting for you dear friend! With Him is the key to the fulfilled life you've always wondered about and more, so if you would, kindly pray the prayer by the left. Do send me an email once you have done this. God bless you!

Shalom!

Precious.

Have you ever wondered how the negative occurrences that took place in your childhood didn't take you out? Some of us did really terrible things when we were young... I'm trying hard not to shake this table but I actually heard of someone who, while playing, locked himself up in the freezer when he was young! How did he survive it?! God alone knows!  Well, as I was saying before the diversion, some of us did terrible things when we were young but for some others, terrible things happened to us. Some were abused physically, sexually, mentally etc. in their childhood, some had a child/children out of wedlock, some were terribly ill, some experienced difficulties in learning, some had their parents abandon them, and some people (like me😂) were rescued from 'falling' into a relationship that would have landed them where they shouldn't be. Everyone has a different story to tell, but did it ever occur to you that you're standing because somehow those things didn'

Free Expert Editing for Authors and Startup Organisations

Hello! Welcome again to the blog!  I believe that your month went beautifully well -- goals were smashed, challenges were overcome, and you impacted at least one life positively. No worries if you still have some goals to smash. March isn't over yet😉  I come with exciting news! Tia Edits is currently running a free editing program for authors (or soon-to-be authors😎) and startup organisations . Yes, it's absolutely free. The need for this came while I was thinking about how to contribute to startup organisations by helping them push out error-free content. I also decided to add authors to the program because, as an author myself, I know how important the editing stage is to the success of any book. The package for authors includes editing three books from three authors over a period of 6 months, while that for organisations ( startups, small businesses,  online businesses etc.) includes editing the content of 2 organisations twice weekly, over a period of 2 months.  After tw

  Hey you! It's a been a whiiiilllllleee!😁 I know, and I apologise. I just kept saying "I'll write next month", until I went 3 months without writing! The dangers of procrastination😶 How have you been though? I trust all is well with you and yours. Today, I'd like to briefly share something that was on my heart at the beginning of the year and I've recently been reminded of. It took me a while to decide on what the topic would be as I wasn't sure how to capture it in one short phrase, but it became clear as I typed this. At the beginning of the year, we were told at my local assembly that it would be a year of wonders, and that God was set to work wonders in our lives. Of course, this got everyone excited as we anticipated the miraculous in every area of our lives. However, as I prayed that my family and I would see wonders, the Holy Spirit began to open my eyes to the fact that the wonders we were expecting wouldn't happen as many think; rather, it
