Legacy Series

Hi there! Welcome once again to Legacy Series! Thanks to everyone who read our post last week! God bless you! So, last week, I remember asking a few questions. My questions were, “Have you ever wondered why there are so many Christians in Nigeria today yet there is so much evil in our nation? Or let’s even narrow it down to the fact that there are so many people who profess to be Christians yet there is very little expression of God’s power in many of our churches. Or the fact that the same people who call themselves Christians in church are totally different people outside of the fellowship of the brethren. Out of the many Pastors in the country, you’d be surprised how many of them are actually making waves in God’s own eyes.” Do you wonder why these situations exist? You can share what you think in the comment box below. However, I am convinced that one of the reasons we have so many “Christians”, not just in Nigeria, but in the world, with nothing to show for their ...

So yesterday, I was resting, and in my "half-awake-half-asleep" state, I remembered a friend; a friend I had tried to no avail to contact but simply couldn't reach for over a year. I wondered and was asking God what had happened to her, where she was, and what she had been up to.. Then I got up to check some messages on my phone. The first message was from an unknown number and the person said she got my number somehow... Only for me to discover she was the person I was thinking about only a few minutes ago!

While pondering on what God would have me share on the blog this week, a song by minister Eben, "stayed on you", came to mind.   There are many passages of scripture that talk about setting our hearts on Jesus, on eternity and on things above (See Heb 12:2) and the reality is, it is OUR duty to keep our hearts and minds focused on God. It's very easy to lose track and get distracted but you reap a delightful harvest when you keep your heart fixed on Him.   Last week, I remember saying that you shouldn't expect to receive from God if your heart is set on your situation, or focused on any other thing asides Him. In Isaiah 24:3, God says He will keep in perfect peace, those whose minds are stayed on Him (paraphrased). Every time I read that scripture, peace just overwhelms me! However, I have come to the much needed understanding that it is a pact; our part is to keep our minds focused on Him and He will ensure we are in peace about whatsoever the situation might be...

Many times in life, we are faced with situations which require our immediate response. Some of these situations could come to test our faith and for some of us, we fail the test. We fail the test because we want to respond to the situation as urgently as it has presented itself. We fail the test because we feel there is "no time to waste". God's word says that when temptations come, one of the things they develop in us is patience... Endurance. The ability to wait. For many of us, we can get very tense and anxious in the face of situations that are beyond our control and the last thing we want to do at such times in our lives, is Wait. However, there is power in waiting. I must say here that waiting in this sense isn't the passive kind; sitting around, looking at the clock, passing time, worrying etc. The waiting I am referring to is an active one and I must say that whatever you spend your time doing in your waiting period largely determines what comes out when the...

When I was doing my undergraduate degree, one of my mentors, Pst Laju Iren, used to say, "it is good to work for God; it is better to walk with God but it's best to work with and for God". Much more than our service to Him, God seeks a relationship with us. It's not as though He doesn't want us to serve Him... At least, He told Pharaoh to let Israel go in order that they would serve Him (Exo. 8:1). But we see that these same people who were released to serve God kept honoring God with their lips whereas their hearts were far away from Him (Is. 29:13). You may then ask, what exactly did God really want from them? A RELATIONSHIP. The same thing He wants from us today.

Recently, I was listening to Evangelist Joyce Meyer. She began to talk about the passage in the Bible where Jesus cursed the fig tree and how she felt bad for the fig tree before she understood the passage properly :) Well, what caught my attention in that passage (Mark 11:12-14) was the fact that Jesus looked to see if He would find fruits on the tree.... In essence, if the tree was actually bearing fruits then it would be visible right? The tree could not bear fruits and store them in its trunk or stem, it would be visible for everyone to see. I began to think to myself, "how is it possible then that some believers claim to have/bear fruits but people around them cannot see the fruits?". How come we claim to have the Holy Spirit in us and produce His fruits but our lifestyles don't show it. I have seen many believers who claim to have the Holy Spirit but their language isn't different from that of the unbeliever.. For some, it is that they are always anxious and ma...

Hello! It's soooo good to have you here once again... Today, I would like you to take some time to just meditate on the above scripture. I used the Amplified version because it amplified the scripture very well ;) So, take out some time; think, ponder, mutter, say the scripture out loud, read it in other translations, ask questions, get answers... That's how to meditate. You can even go further to read the verses before and after this one for better understanding if the context of the scripture. In case you haven't been doing this, trust me, you'll be glad you did. There are some depths of revelation in God's word that you will never get except you meditate. Josh. 1:8 gives us this instruction. Gods word brings light. What "light" (revelation, insight) have you gotten from this scripture? How can you apply it to your situation? I await your response.

I love supporting avenues to impact the lives of others and platforms which also give people the opportunity to make an impact! So, here's introducing one of such opportunities... C.I.T.Y!!! C.I.T.Y is an acronym for Catch and Inspire Them Young ; it is a leadership program for teenagers powered by the Eagles HOPE Foundation (H.O.P.E) . Over the last 4 years through the C.I.T.Y program, H.O.P.E has engaged over 1,300 volunteers and a good number of corporate partners to reach over 7,500 Leaders (teenagers) across Nigeria at no cost to the teenagers.  In 2015, the C.I.T.Y Summer Leadership School hosted over 450 teenagers in four locations across Nigeria; Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, and Ota (Ogun State), engaging over 250 volunteers. The camps were running simultaneously in all four locations and were non-residential.

Hi there! It's great to have you here once again. Today, I'll be sharing my thoughts on an issue that applies to every human being; an issue that is taken lightly by some and highly esteemed by a few. The Cambridge dictionary defines the word 'isolation' as , "the condition of being alone, especially when it makes you unhappy; the fact that something is separate and not connected to other things". These definitions are in fact what I didn't expect to see. They are more vivid than I could have painted it.

So, this is one song I love so much... It's so powerful; makes you very conscious of God's presence with us. Here as in heaven by Elevation Worship The atmosphere is changing now For the Spirit of the Lord The evidence is all around For the Spirit of the Lord is here Overflow in this place Fill our hearts with Your love Your love surrounds us You're the reason we came, to encounter Your love Your love surrounds us

So, we have a guest writer today and guess what?! She's my sister!!!!! Okay... The aisle...
