Legacy Series

  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 ...

  Hiya!🤗 How have you been? In the last few months, I have been drawn to the power that our minds wield over our lives. I've found out that it's easy to be yielded in our spirits, but our minds are a totally different ballgame. We tell God that He can do whatever He pleases with and through us, but, in truth, our minds are screaming "No!" This is how we limit God in our minds. God works with the capacity that we place in His hands; in this case, your mental capacity or mental space. And I'm not speaking in terms of intelligence or brilliance. It's actually more about how open you are in your mind to what God wants to do through and in you.  How big a dream are you willing to dream with God? Is there a limit to how far you can see, with God? If, for instance, you're believing God for a breakthrough in your business or career, it's very possible that your spirit has already received it but your mind is still keeping it away. It's possible that you w...

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....

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'...

  One year ago today, I was kidnapped.  Yeah, you saw that right... KIDNAPPED.  The whole ordeal lasted for a few hours, some money had to be paid, and I had a few bruises here and there but...the testimony is that I'm here today! Rather than wonder why it had to happen at all, I choose be thankful. Oh, I'm so thankfulllll! Besides, prior to that incident, there had been many other robbery incidents where my life was at stake, but GOD! So this is me saying ABBA, KEEPER, SUSTAINER, THANK YOU! In our local parlance, PAPA YOU DO WELL!!! I'm so grateful Father!  Alright, enough of my gist😁 Meanwhile, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!!!💃💃💃 💥💥💥 Such a blessed and wonder-filled year lies ahead for you! Your path will drip fatness, you will be led by God's Spirit every step of the way and light will shine on your path. You won't miss a turn neither will you miss His voice. It'll be your year of precision and accuracy in Jesus' name! One thing we must do more than ever t...

  Hello! Welcome to another edition of purpose and assignment 😁 So, here are a few things that caught my attention as I studied Esther and the four Hebrew boys recently. I hope they are of great use to you especially in the coming year. See you at the end...🌞 🌲 Gather knowledge (Dan. 1:4). In the story of the Hebrew boys, one of the criteria for the men that the king would choose to serve his government was that they had to be "well versed in all kinds of wisdom ." (KJV) It's one thing to be a master in a certain field but to be versed in ALL kinds of wisdom?This meant that they couldn't be limited to the knowledge they got from their formal education, they had to be avid readers and voracious learners. Bear in mind that this was their own purpose journey and, as such, they risked missing out on God's plan for them if they failed in this criteria.  Important Tip : This wasn't a role God could play for them, they had to do this by and for themselves. Can yo...

Hello! Welcome to Legacy Series! Let's dive right into learning from Joseph and Moses about purpose and assignment... 🌠 Gen. 37:4. Did you know that Joseph's brothers not only hated him for his dreams, but also because of the way he talked ? There's a 'way' visionaries speak. You won't catch them talking down on themselves or their dreams, or even on others. They are not proud or arrogant but they are confident (we'll talk about the source of this confidence later on). They also realise that there is power in the tongue and would rather use this power positively. 🌠 Gen. 39:7-10. Focus! Focus!! Focus!!! Distractions are real and they could be anything! Stay focused! Joseph could have been distracted by the appetite for sex just as Judah was in the previous chapter but he knew purpose was at stake. Pleasures would come later but for now, they were simply going to be distractions to him. Have you allowed something derail you from what ought to be your focus? ...

  Hiya!🤗 In one of my recent posts, I mentioned that we are in uncertain times. I believe that with each passing day, the times become even more uncertain and those who thought that they could easily predict the future based on previous trends, have seen that the times we're in are simply...different. In the midst of all this, it's very easy to get overwhelmed, frustrated, and possibly slip into depression because of the many thoughts of worry, fear and anxiety. But thank God for Jesus, our peace in every storm! We are sure that we will come out on the other side victorious and strong, because of Jesus. Our hope for a brighter and better future is found in Him, and He is our most important need and all-in-one solution in these uncertain times. This really isn't the time to be on the fence. More than ever before, it's a time to believe in Jesus and what He offers you! He is the only reliable Rock in these uncertain times.  People are dying everyday, not certain about w...

  Hey there! How was September? Share it with me in the comments😉! Meanwhile, today we'll be talking about a topic that plagues many people in our world - Comparison. If you remember Cain and Abel's story in Genesis, the Bible explains that Cain was angry that God received Abel's sacrifice but did not acknowledge his - Comparison . I believe Cain's envy didn't begin with the 'sacrifice saga', it was a seed that had been growing for sometime. His comparison of himself against Abel must have led to jealousy; jealousy led to envy; envy led to hatred; hatred led to murder! And he had to bear the consequences  of his action all his life! Comparison is a destroyer; give it one mile and it takes 10,000!  Jealousy and all its family members (envy, covetousness etc.) begin first with one thought of comparison. You know how you see something that someone else has and begin to wonder, " I don't have that. They look better or are doing better than me because o...

  It's very difficult to just... stay .  I know there are concentration lords among us, but really, for some of us it's a serious battle.  You may have seen some parents play that game with their kids where they put candies in front of the kids but ask them not to touch the candies until a certain time. It's always hilarious the things those kids do in a bid to just...stay😂. Some count, some wonder, some sing, some try to play...all the while hoping their waiting time could just come to an end😁 Aren't we that way sometimes? God places us somewhere and asks us to stay till He's ready (or we're ready) to move to the next phase. An idea. A business. A relationship. A job. A location. A career path... But then, things happen and it gradually becomes difficult to just stay where He has placed us. Challenges happen, comparison happens, unmet expectations happen, life happens, and it begins to get uneasy and uncomfortable to just...stay.   Like those kids, we want to...

Welcome!🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊 I have titled this post Practice Hospitality, because  all the points we will discuss, except one, relate to this.  Also, these lessons were taken from Romans 13 (NLT). There are many beautiful lessons in that passage (and I'd love to see your own lessons in the comments😉), but I major on just four of them in this post. Let's dive in! 🌲"Always be eager to practice hospitality ." (V 13b) You may not like being hospitable, you may not know how to do it, or you may be a novice at doing it. Whichever is your case, practicing it will make you better at it. Keep doing it! Make it a job . Consciously and constantly go out of your way to be hospitable - whether you're a naturally kind person or not; be it to a stranger or to someone you already know.  Verse 16 says "Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people." Ordinary may imply "not your typical friend", but we are to be hospitable to them anyway. I'm sur...

Heyyy! It's such a delight to have you here!💃💃💃 Today, we will discuss a topic that has been on my heart. Do read to the end,  feel free to share, and don't forget to leave your comments. Let's dive in! I was discussing with a close friend recently, and I realized that we are both in a season where we are questioning everything that we do, in a bid to know the underlying factors and reasons for our doing these things.  Trust me, we're not talking about "bad things", but good things, godly things. Although they are good and godly, there is still a need to know the motivation behind the things that we do and the things we believe. Are we just following the crowd? Or do we have a personal conviction for doing/believing what we do/believe? Do we really understand the purpose of the things that we do? Or do we simply do them because we were told as kids that it's the right thing to do? I would like you to ask yourself the same questions today. There are a nu...

WELCOME!!! I'm so excited to have you here today! So, it's been one year since my book, The Backstage Process , was released into the world, and to celebrate this milestone, I thought it would be nice to give away some freebies. Today, I'll be sharing one of the chapters of the book with you but more importantly, watch out for the big announcement coming up on 15th May, 2020...  Don't say I didn't inform you ahead! The Backstage Process  was essentially written for young ministers, however, as you are soon to find out in this chapter, the book speaks to everyone-- irrespective of your current phase. So, whether you think of yourself as a "young minister" or not, grab a cup of coffee and possibly a notepad; you're about to embark on a worthwhile journey! ~~~ Chapter 10: Support  Fellow Ministers I know we have talked about supporting and believing the best in people; this, however, is a lot easier than supporting fellow ministers, and...

Hi there! Welcome to the sequel to our previous post. If you haven't already read through the post, I would kindly advise that you do so as it contains the passage we will be drawing lessons from today. You can read the previous post  here . So, let's get right into it! What important points caught my attention in Ephesians 2? I used The Passion Translation because I love its rendition of the chapter. I'll try to summarize so we don't have a Part 3😁 Verses 2-4 state that we were once in sin which is so true! We were all born with the nature of sin and born into a sinful world but then it says in verse 4 that despite this, God, who is holy, just and righteous, still greatly loved us! Don't know about you, but that alone makes me feel so special! I don't know what you might have done in your life, always remember that God still loves you... greatly. Verses 6-7: Everyone who has received Christ into their hearts as the Lord of their lives has been r...
