Think On These Things...

Image
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.

C.I.T.Y. SUMMER CAMP!

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.

ISOLATION vs STANDING-OUT

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.

Just Worship...

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

What Are You Holding Back?

"I surrender all to you...Everything I give to you Withholding nothing, withholding nothing." (William McDowell) Some time ago, we sang this song at church, and as I meditated on the words of the song, I asked myself, "why did the composer have to include that last line of the chorus? It just seemed like an emphasis on what had already been said in the first two lines". Just then the Holy Spirit explained it to me. I remembered one of the ways through which children are taught arithmetics. It involves using the fingers for the numbers 1-10 and a fist for zero. So, when the teachers demonstrate "1-1" for instance, the result would be a fist and then they would open it up to show the children there was nothing in the fist. Then it began to dawn on me.

Listen, worship, be edified...

Hi there! So, I put up this video some months ago but I was drawn to it once again and decided to give someone the opportunity to partake in the heartfelt worship and intercession in it. Ensure you are not left out!                         William McDowell Song of Intercession This one is another interesting 'worship-full' song.... Be blessed and be a blessing to God as you worship....

The Trivial Things...

Image
Wow!!!  It's been a long while! I apologize. So, recently I was studying the books of Samuel and asides the whole "Saul and David chase", I was drawn to how seemingly trivial things became big issues... Such that it became bigger than the perpetrators themselves... These seemingly trivial things soon became their "masters".  I'm sure someone is wondering what I'm talking about.  Well, to begin with, we all know David was a 'good boy' right? Permit me to divert a little here. Have you ever taken note of how David was described, his attributes?  1st Samuel 15 vs 18 in the Amplified version lists them out. It states that David (as a young man) was  skillful, brave, competent, a warrior, prudent and eloquent in speech, handsome  and ultimately, he carried God's presence! I don't think I need to speak any further about these qualities... Just reflect on your own life... ;)
