Boundless Love, come carry me
To the place where I at last I'm free
Where I belong and You will Be
Where All of You is All of Me
Boundless Love, come carry me
Boundless Love- Women of Faith
Happy Sunday, Fam
The more you grow in the Word, the more your metrics change.
What once impressed you begins to lose its weight.
“Angelic encounters.”
“Visiting heaven.”
You begin to realise these are not the hallmarks of growth.
They are not the proof of maturity.
And those who parade them often exaggerate what they have not accurately understood.
You are not trying to visit heaven.
You are already seated there.
Not visiting.
Seated.
In Christ. Far above all.
So what exactly are we celebrating when maturity is reduced to “I went to heaven” or “I saw an angel”?
So what is the big deal if you “visit” where you are already seated in Christ?
Or if you “see” one out of the innumerable company of angels in Zion?
The believer is not a visitor in the spirit.
The believer is established in Christ.
Angels are not your superiors.
They are ministering spirits.
The more you grow, the less noise you make about these things.
Because maturity is not measured by sightings.
It is revealed in your understanding of Christ.
Christ is the point.
And in Him, you have already arrived.
And if indeed you did, handle it with maturity.
Like Paul, speak of it years later.
���I knew a man…”
Restrain your tongue.
Because many of the things being loudly brandished today are not lawful for a man to utter.
So hear this clearly:
There is nothing wrong with you if you have never “visited heaven” or seen angels.
Being is Christ is the point...
Let’s talk about the woman at the well for a minute… Because if we being honest, lot of us BEEN her. She kept going back to relationships that didn’t fulfill her. Chasing love. Chasing validation. Trying to fill a void that just wouldn’t close. And every time? Still empty 🤦🏽♀️ The Bible says she had multiple husbands and the man she was with wasn’t even hers, sis. But before we judge her, let me ask you something?? How many times have YOU entertained something you KNEW God didn’t send? A thirst for love. A thirst to feel chosen. A thirst to feel like she was ENOUGH. And no matter who she ran to, it never satisfied her. Until she met Jesus 🙌🏽 And He looked at her, all of her mess, all of her history and said: “The water I give you… you will never thirst again.” Translation? “Stop running to broken people to fix what only I can heal.” WHEW.
This whole theory that “if everyone has a problem with you, then you’re the problem” or that if you have a problem with everyone, you must be the issue is deeply flawed and honestly unfair. There are people who are widely liked not because they’re good people, but because they’re agreeable, pretentious, and willing to conform. And there are people who are constantly labeled “difficult” simply because they don’t know how to play along or pretend. The thing is The more easygoing, accommodating, and “let’s keep the peace” you are, the more you’re perceived as likable even if it means constantly shrinking yourself. Meanwhile, the moment you stand firm, call things out, and choose not to be pretentious, you’re suddenly labeled difficult. Sometimes, it’s not that someone has a problem with everyone; it’s that they’re just not willing to tolerate what everyone else is comfortable tolerating.
A lot of people don’t know the difference between esthetics, aesthetics and aesthetic. I hope this helps .
•If you’re talking about facials, skincare, or beauty school, use esthetics.
Example: “I’m booking a facial today because I love taking care of my skin…..esthetics really matters.”
•If you’re talking about art, beauty theory, or design, use aesthetics.
Example: “I rearranged my room to match a cozy, modern aesthetics…..it just feels right.”
•If you’re talking about photography, lifestyle, or overall vibe, use aesthetic.
Example: “Her weekend brunch photos have such a chill aesthetic, I want to go there too.”
“Sitting with your feelings” means when you feel something , sadness, anger, jealousy, whatever emotion, instead of immediately distracting yourself, numbing it, or reacting, you just let yourself feel it without running from it.
You notice it, you acknowledge it, you question it, ask yourself where it’s coming from. You don’t grab your phone, pick a fight, or eat a whole bag of chips or a big bowl of ice cream to avoid it.
You just stay present with the discomfort until you understand it better. It sounds simple but most people have never done it even once.
I was sad about a certain issue and it was a struggle to even pray. I wanted to just stay in my room, lay in bed and cry all day.
Then I remembered one of Apostle Selman’s message where he said “the devil would always want to isolate you and then magnify the problem”.
I got up, played some worship songs and started declaring positively to that situation. I felt so much better.
Anytime we receive bad news or are faced with a negative situation, it’s not time for us to cry or panic, but instead wear your priestly regalia and legislate things in the spirit.
The devil will want you to keep quiet.
But stand up and declare positively into that situation.
People notice these things more than you realize:
1. Move slower. Don’t rush your movements. Slower actions equal confidence and control.
2. Talk less. Listen more. People feel more drawn to someone who actually listens.
3. Have a life outside people. Be busy with your own goals.
4. Fix your posture. A straight back and relaxed shoulders instantly make you look more confident.
5. Smell good consistently. Not just perfume, but clean clothes and body. People remember scent more than looks.
6. Control your reactions. Don’t overreact emotionally. Calmness is power.
7. Improve your voice tone. Speak clearly, not too fast. A relaxed tone helps.
8. Limit how much you explain yourself. Not everything needs justification.
9. Take care of small details: Clean shoes, trimmed nails, fresh haircut.

Thank you!
The years I spent focusing on other people and looking to add value to them, were the most stagnant years of my life.
It’s great to try and support others, but please manage your energy and don’t neglect yourself
Have you noticed your hair won’t grow past a certain length?
Here’s why 👇🏾
Your hair isn’t meant to stop at your shoulders. There’s no built-in rule that says it can’t grow longer.
What actually happens is that your hair growth cycle shortens, specifically the part where hair is actively growing.
Hair grows in phases.
The most important one is called the anagen phase, that’s the active growth phase. For most people, this phase lasts anywhere from 3 to 7 years.
After that, hair enters a short resting phase (about 3 months), then sheds, and a new hair starts growing again.
Now here’s the important part:
If your anagen phase lasts 6–7 years, your hair has years to keep growing which is why some people can grow waist-length hair with no issue.
But if that growth phase gets shortened to 2–3 years, your hair doesn’t have enough time to reach those longer lengths. It sheds sooner.
Over time, it looks like your hair won’t grow, when in reality it’s cycling out too early.
So what shortens your anagen phase?
1. Chronic stress.
When cortisol stays high for long periods, your body prioritizes survival over things like hair growth. That can push strands out of the growth phase earlier than they should be.
2. Thyroid health
Hair follicles are extremely sensitive to thyroid hormones. If Free T3 is low. even when other labs look normal, growth can slow and cycles can shorten.
Then there are nutrient deficiencies... Especially low iron (ferritin), inadequate protein and low B vitamins. Hair growth is not a priority for your body. If nutrients are limited, your body will use them for vital organs first, not your hair.
Inflammation is another big one.
Hormones matter too. Low estrogen or higher DHT levels can shorten the growth phase and thin the hair over time.
Even poor scalp circulation can limit how much oxygen and nutrients actually reach the follicle. If blood flow is sluggish, growth can slow down.
So if your hair won’t grow past a certain point, it’s usually not about trimming too much, using the wrong shampoo or bad genetics.
It’s often a shortened growth phase caused by internal stressors.
When you address the root causes, you give your hair the chance to stay in its growth phase longer.

If a Car Hits you from Behind who is at Fault?
Let’s break it down simply.
You’re driving peacefully.
Suddenly gbam! someone hits your car from behind. The first question everyone asks is: “Who is responsible?”
As a lawyer, let me explain this in simple terms.
Generally, in most road accident cases, the driver who hits another vehicle from behind is presumed to be at fault. The reason is simple: every driver has a legal duty to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, stay attentive, and be able to stop safely if the car ahead slows down suddenly.
If you run into someone from behind, the law assumes you were either following too closely, speeding, distracted, or not in proper control of your vehicle. That is what the law calls “negligence.”
You cannot simply say, “He stopped suddenly.” The law expects you to anticipate that vehicles in front may slow down or stop at any time because of traffic, pedestrians, potholes, or emergencies. That is why you must leave enough space between you and the next car.
However, it is not automatic in every case. There are situations where the driver in front may also share responsibility. For example, if the front driver suddenly reverses without warning, has faulty brake lights, stops in the middle of the road without good reason, or intentionally “brake-checks” another driver. In such situations, the court may find what is called “contributory negligence,” meaning both drivers share blame.
If the matter gets to court, the judge will look at evidence witness statements, police report, pictures, videos, road condition, and the behaviour of both drivers. The law does not guess; it relies on facts.
But generally speaking, if you hit someone from behind, you will most likely be held responsible unless you can prove something unusual happened.
So please, keep a safe distance. Avoid distractions. Do not tailgate. One moment of impatience can cost you repairs, compensation, and legal liability.
Drive safely.
