90% of the messy issues that make it to the TL could have been avoided by abstinence.
God knew what He was doing. His commands were given to protect us, not to punish us.
Avoid fornication today. 🫵🏾
Maya Angelou was so right when she said ;
“The heart of a woman should be so well hidden in God, that a man, to find it, would need to seek God first.”
Someone said, “Don’t desire someone so deeply that you’re willing to disobey God just to keep them close.” Whew. That one will make you check your heart 😮💨
Learn how to wait on God when there is no one with you. Learn how to stay in your room and pray alone for hours. Lean how to pray alone without going on your phone to talk to anyone. Learn how to pray without announcing to the world that you are doing twenty-one days of prayer and fasting. Learn how to pray when God alone sees you.
One day when I'm married, I want to look up across the room at my husband and know that I did absolutely nothing in my own strength to make this happen. I want to be at peace knowing it was all God.
Become dangerously educated. Be well-learned. Be harder to fool, sharper in conversation, and better at reading situations. Draw on centuries of knowledge and wisdom. Learn relentlessly. An informed mind is hard to manipulate, intimidate, or contain.

Have you heard about the Mel Robbins and GaryVee dynamic?
Mel wanted to start her podcast but thought Gary was already doing exactly what she wanted, so she stalled for years.
She later summoned the courage to buy her podcast tools and started a few years ago. Less than 5 years ago.
She is now one of the most listened-to and followed female podcasters in the world. She rakes in millions of views weekly and continues to rank among the top 3 largest podcasts globally.
Recently, in her interview with GaryVee, he was surprised she ever thought they were doing the same thing because her message is unique and different.
He then said: ‘The moment you believe that someone else has the power to impact your outcome, you’ve already lost’.
Go and do the thing!
The spiritual controls the physical. This is not a cliche.
Leave motivational speakers and fight for your destiny.
Some of you have explained your stagnation and the negative patterns in your family away. Life is spiritual!
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood or the economy, but against principalities and powers…
Even the Bible said it, and you’re here thinking that it’s sleep paralysis that’s doing you, meanwhile your village people are sitting on your head. 😂
Read Daniel 10:12–14. There is a spiritual force that controls the physical.
Get up and war!
What if God does not want you to go to the nations? What if he wants you to stay in Kogi? What if there’s not “perfect ending to the story” (by man’s definition) where the suffering pays off and the blessings and “favour” fall in….
Will you still serve God?
I'm telling you — now, as much as ever, you must write by hand every morning. You must write three pages on whatever is currently on your mind. You must preserve and strengthen your thinking through your writing.
You can get used to prayer. You can get to study. We promise you.
The way you got used to your phone is the same you can get so used to prayer.
If only you start. And don’t turn back. Daily. The same time.
Please start. You’ll get used to it. God help you.
Amen.
