Your 5 For His 5000

Welcome!!!

So, this is the first post and I am excited to finally have this up and running; a platform to be blessed and be a blessing... To God be all the glory! 

I'll begin this journey with a very recent testimony which taught me a lot. I'm sure you'll be blessed by this... Enjoy!

So, just as we rounded up 2015, God laid it on my heart to be a blessing to my Pastors... I struggled with this a little, (and only a little because I have learnt from past experiences :) ), but I eventually got around it. I went on to get the things I could lay my hands on and gave it to them from the depth of my heart... They didn't understand what I was doing and were even bothered that I had gone that far, but it was between myself and God and I had to obey... 

Now, the testimony... About one week later, God surprised me with a gift which was  over five times what I gave! 5 to 5000! I knew God would do something but that wasn't the sole purpose. Even if nothing happened afterwards, I wouldn't have complained. My sole aim was just to obey...


This year, make it a point of duty to obey, without any hesitation. If you argue the first time, the second time you shouldn't. And if you do, keep working at it till there's nothing you're holding on to so tightly you can't let God have it. God wants us to grow and this applies to our obedience as well. Partial obedience is synonymous with disobedience. As you obey, you get more familiar with God's way of speaking with you and you build your relationship with God...

So, be a sower this year not just for the blessing, but because you are an obedient child of His; pay attention to every instruction He gives you and carry them out unhesitatingly.

God loves you! Have a great and impact-full year ahead!

Much love,
Precious.

  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

Love's Response

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
