JESUS follower. Advancing adolescent mental health across Africa and championing reforms that help young people thrive

[𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐘𝐀 @OnmonyaGodwin1]

August 1st is a remarkable day for me. It was the day I decided to follow JESUS. It has been some years, and I can confidently say that JESUS IS SWEET.

Following Him has been the best decision of my life so far.

If there's one thing I want you to take away from this, it's this same words:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆.

Over the past couple of months, I've come to a realization that genuinely surprised me.

I think it's something many of us as young people have misunderstood.

A while ago, I was listening to a podcast when the guest said something that wouldn't leave my mind. He said:

So maybe it's time we stop running away from responsibilities, whether it's at home, at work, in church, or anywhere else life places us.

The responsibilities that seem inconvenient today may be preparing us for opportunities we've been praying for.

How well is Nigeria supporting adolescent mental health through policy?

You are an important link in the chain.

Stay strong my friend.💪

There's something God has been doing from the very beginning, long before any of us got here. Yeah, that's what is called "His purpose."

And it's because of that purpose that your life and mine also have purpose. We're part of something much bigger than ourselves.

[𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐘𝐀 @OnmonyaGodwin1]

Always remember this: your purpose isn't just about you. It's connected to God's bigger plan and His grand story.

God is writing a beautiful story, and He has given you the opportunity to play a role in it.

So, If you're thinking about giving up right now, please don't...

@EkongEtinyene Sure. 😂😂😂
It's been a minute. Trust you're doing well, Etinyene.

I don't think the availability of grace automatically makes someone irresponsible.

Here's what I mean: if you're in a season where God is calling you to pray more, He often makes the grace for prayer available. In those moments...

[𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐘𝐀 @OnmonyaGodwin1]

Grace makes obedience possible and easier, but it doesn't take away our responsibility to choose it.

[𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐘𝐀 @OnmonyaGodwin1]

you may find that praying is actually easier than not praying. But at the end of the day, the choice to pray is still yours.

I think this applies to every area of the Christian walk, whether it's prayer, giving, fasting, or even how we respond during difficult seasons.

[𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐘𝐀 @OnmonyaGodwin1]

You'd have come to a point in life as a believer, where you make up your mind that no matter what happens to you, you'll never stop doing these three things;
🔸Praying
🔸Praising God
🔸And believing in God's word and promises to you.

[𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐘𝐀 @OnmonyaGodwin1]

In summary, live intentionally. Guard your time. Spend it on what actually matters.

[𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐘𝐀 @OnmonyaGodwin1]

As believers, time management really matters. Not in a productivity-hustle kind of way, but in a way that keeps our hearts aligned.

For me, it comes down to three things: 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫. 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞. 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞.

Like the Bible says in
