There are some wins that only you and God understand the magnitude of. In those moments, remember that an achievement doesn’t need to be noticed, acknowledged or celebrated by others to be valid and deeply significant.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@Yemisiisidi Incredible! Especially in person.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@ObtainerOf I used to find these jokes funny, until I became a landlady 😫

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@MoChunks For ministry bookings, I personally request my travel, and acommodation (where necessary) to be paid for. And accept honorariums as a gift to cover my other costs (not stipulating the amount). And prayerfully decide whether I can attend.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@MoChunks I would also add to cover their expenses. Ie flights, hotels. It gets tricky because childcare, prep time, team etc… are all expenses too. So yes, honorariums. But they need to take into account the cost of coming too.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

We don’t minister what we know. We minister who we are. It’s a spiritual transaction. We leave an imprint on the souls receptive to us.

If you know you’re not in right standing with God, please don’t try to speak on His behalf. Take time. Get in alignment. The pulpit can wait.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

What you think about yourself, how you speak to yourself & how you treat yourself matters.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

You can’t sow self-hatred and reap self-love.

You are what you sow.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@TheBlackLayers @misandrynoir I hear you. For some people it isn’t punishment. It’s disappointment. Or the fact that they’ve adjusted to life without you and desire more consistency in relationships.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@misandrynoir Nope. Just a therapist working with people on both ends of this. Communication is vital and when that doesn’t occur you have to be okay with the possible outcomes of it. It’s life. Some people will flow with you and some as mentioned, won’t.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

Truthfully, if we don’t learn to carry people along we can’t be surprised when they aren’t around as we’d like.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

If you’re someone who withdraws during hard times & re-emerges when things are lighter, you have to understand that the people in your life may struggle to adjust to your ebb & flows, especially when you don’t communicate them. They may not be ready to re-engage just bc you are.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@headboyswallows Precisely!

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

God frequently responds to our emotions. See Hagar. See Hannah. Let’s stop pitting emotions against the word of God.

[NEON ADEJO @NeonAdejo]

When Jesus wept, Lazarus didn’t walk out of his grave. But when Jesus spoke, Lazarus came forth.

God does not respond to your emotions, but his WORD.

Instead of worrying and crying over that situation, speak his WORD over it and watch him honor his WORD.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

What Father doesn’t respond to the sincere emotions of their child? Dangerous doctrines.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@chiomaalade @Gaemechanger I second this!!! Your voice is needed, bro!

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@TheKempire You handle these sensitive topics so well. 👌🏽

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@YemisiIsidi This is me. Every time!

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@Primark I’ve sent this across and I’m yet to hear anything back.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@Primark Thank you!

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@CrazyZayy @breanna_monique The tears seem more than usual. It could be pregnancy or IVF medication. Either way, she deserves some grace.

[Ify Alexis Lee @IfyAlexis]

@glorzm It’s not even fun to watch. I would’ve left the stage. Complete victim blaming.
