The safest place to be, is to be in the will of GOD.
The highest place to be, is at the feet of JESUS.
The purest place should be your heart.
Make it an Abode for the HOLY SPIRIT.
Exactly how God sees it when you say you’re too unholy to run back to Him. He will make you clean! You’re never too dirty to have a bath. Come to Jesus today🥺❤️:
I like my friends too muchhh, because tell me why my friend is coming in from another town tomorrow and I feel giddy anytime I remember I'll be hosting her.🙂↔️😂❤️
Guess who I ran into today?
She said she had felt the same way, we were both too exhausted that day and forgot to exchange contacts. Seeing her again felt so good, but what felt even better was being reminded that God hears and answers even the little prayers I whisper to Him.
My cousin noticed that her neighbour’s 10-year-old son often came to her house whenever he saw her cooking. At first, she thought he just liked the food.
So whenever she had enough, she would give him a plate. One Saturday, she asked him whether his mother doesn’t cook at home. He smiled and said, “She cooks”.
A few weeks later, she found out that his mother had lost her job months earlier and had been struggling to feed the family. The boy had never told anyone. He simply kept finding reasons to visit the neighbour who always had food.
My cousin decided to start sending food to their house regularly but she never told the boy she knew why he kept coming. The mother got a job few months later and she has been buying different kinds of gifts for ny cousin ever since. It’s good to be good 😊
Multiplicity of life
I have a friend who is burying his parent today. Today is another friend’s CFA Level 1 exam. Someone is celebrating a birthday. And today, another friend got a new job.
I’ve texted, “How is the wake keep?” “How was the exam?” “How is your birthday going?” And “Congratulations on the offer”
Then I just paused to think about how wildly different these experiences are, all happening at the same time.
One friend is grieving. Another is anxious. Another is simply existing in the middle of a birthday. And the friend with the new job is over the moon.
Different people, different realities, different emotions, yet all of it is happening on the same day.
This life.
I just saw a quote that has lifted my faith even more
“If Jesus taught us to pray, it means that He intends to answer”
Don’t stop praying child of God. Your Father is hearing and will answer.
If I were to counsel the average young Christian today, I will say just 3 things
1. Go back to your BIBLE. Read. Study. Obey.
2. Go back to PRAYER. Ask. Seek. Knock.
3. Go back to CHURCH. Belong. Submit. Serve.
If you think you have JESUS, know Jesus, and love Jesus, and lack any of these THREE.
You are DECEIVED.
Aregbesola paid my mum half salary from 2015 till she retired in 2017.
Oyetola took over from him but could not even pay any of the backlogs.
Adeleke entered in 2022 and paid all my mum’s owed salaries and arrears in millions.
He paid my mum’s gratuity and pension after 8 years.
I remember one time my mum called me one evening, complaining about my dad, and asked me to talk to him. From everything she said, I did not really see anything he did wrong.
I simply called my dad. After greeting him and asking about work, I sent him 200,000 naira and told him to take his wife out.
That same evening, my mum called me on video. She was so happy, sitting right beside my dad. Love birds. 😂 He took her out and even transferred 50,000 naira to her from the money.
Just two days ago, my friend's wife called me with similar complaints. She asked me to talk to him because she knows he listens to me.
I called him and asked, "When was the last time you went out with your wife, aside from Sunday Mass and business meetings?"
He said he could not remember. I simply told him to make it a point of duty this weekend. He respected me and did.
His wife called me this evening with so much excitement in her voice. She appreciated me so much for talking to him.
My advice worked again. 😂😂😂 Problem solved.
Once in a while, just take your woman out. You do not have to spend too much. Hold her hands, laugh with her, crack your dry jokes. Sometimes the quiet resentment building is not because you did anything wrong. It is simply because you have not spent enough intentional time with her.
Little things like this go a long way. A happy wife is a happy home.
Above all, love God.
I just watched a video on IG and it got me thinking.
The pastor said, “When the Lord starts blessing you, don’t be in a hurry to help others. Make sure you establish yourself first before you start helping others.”
He gave an example of someone who just got a job and starts earning 150k, 200k, or 250k and suddenly carries all family responsibilities. He said they will drag you back to where you started and your poverty will be loud.
At this stage, save, invest, and let the money accumulate. Do not live above your budget and spend wisely.
His reason? You are still at the building stage. When you finally reach the stage where you can start helping others, you will know!
Hmmmm..
In the last 6 yrs I stood in gap for 5 of my female friends for marital settlement.
4 have gotten married today, 2 with kids.
I meant I really prayed, fasted..
Recently I bought my husband a MacBook
His laptop has been giving him issues and I knew that he badly needed one
And I remember telling God that if he blessed me the very first thing I would do would be to change his laptop
And God did
And I did not tell him, I bought it and sent him to go and pick it up. I did not tell him he was going to pick up his new MacBook
He got the parcel and when I finally told him, man wanted to faint
It made me so happy to do something like this for this man because my husband puts every body first before himself
I remember when I was using an IPhone 11, my husband told me I needed to upgrade because I needed it for Social media work
He was using an 11 too but he didn’t care. He upgraded mine.
My husband can spend his last money to support me, my vision and my projects.
Without thinking twice.
Ahhhhhhhhhh
When God made Adewale, He had me in mind because what???
I’m sharing this because as a visionary woman and a woman with big dreams, the kind of man you end of with is super important. And it’s not by effort or discernment but by God looking at you and what He wants to accomplish and then blessing you with the right man that fits that vision.
A lot of women cry and scream today because of the horrible treatment from their husbands or men that have known
And the outrage against marriage and headship of men is on the increase
I don’t blame them
But it’s not marriage that is bad
It’s people
When you are with a good, kind and God given spouse you will understand that marriage is beautiful
I am wayyyyyyy better as a married woman than I was as a single
And after God, I have my husband to thank for it
May God bless those seeking with good spouses
Blessings!
PS: it’s my birthday eve and my chairman is already sending gifts. Yoruba men na so Una dey do???😂💃
Grateful to have found love and friendship in one person.
I can't imagine life without my man. It's so peaceful over here.
I prayed for times like this and I'm beyond grateful to experience it with this person. I don't take it for granted.
This evening, my prayer to God is very simple:
“God, I need some money, Daddy. 😭
I need money, Daddy. I really need Your help.”
Let me wait for Him to answer me.
He is the only One I can run to as a firstborn when I am broke and I don't even know where to start from.
Sometimes you don't need a long prayer. Sometimes you just need to come before your Father and be honest.
“Abba, I need help.”
So, Father, send me help.
Open a door I cannot open by myself.
Send the right people.
Provide where I cannot provide for myself.
Make a way where I don't see a way.
Abba, I am waiting on You. 🙏🏽😭
On my way from Oshodi today. A young guy carrying a backpack suddenly waved down the bus(which was full)shouting “my phone is in that bus” and pointing to the bus up ahead.
The driver stopped for him and he hung…conductor style and our driver started chasing the bus.
The driver of the bus suddenly took another route. Everybody in the bus shouted.
We were all so invested in the young man getting his phone back. All eyes were on the bus so we don’t miss it.
The young man was sweating profusely. Our bus driver sped ahead and came out in front of the other bus where the roads came together again. And slowed down in front of the bus in a bid to get the driver to stop.
Wetyn church they do sef?
88 children were born during the convention. The medical bills were taken care of by the church. The church also gives baby items and cash to the parents of the new born babies.
Take note that some of the children were born through CS, too.
Never forget the art of deleting social media and going on a retreat,
Especially if/when lust and covetousness has pierced your soul.
Run away from all potential triggers and run towards God.
Bury yourself in the word, prayer and worship.
That’s how to deal with it!
May we never forget how helpless we are without the help of God, how foolish we are without His wisdom, how flawed we are without His mercies, and how weak we are without His strength.
If we’re not careful, our love for “gist” may just be leading us into sin through gossip.
Some of us say it’s gist, but what if it’s gossip in disguise? What if it’s affecting the state of our hearts before God?
We must ask the Lord to help us be more discerning.
