May you not spend years praying for a blessing only to be absent when it finally arrives. May God preserve your life, your health, and your peace until your day of breakthrough and celebration come🙏
Can I tell you one thing I've discovered in my walk with the Holy Spirit?
Beyond being a guide, the Holy Spirit is the greatest conversation partner you'll ever have.
In short, there is no gist partner like the Holy Spirit.
The day you grow to the point where He comes to you for a chat, demands your attention, or interrupts your day because He wants fellowship with you, YOU HAVE WON FOR LIFE.
Because beyond power, beyond gifts, beyond breakthroughs, nothing compares to being wanted by God Himself.
Job didn’t get his old life back… he got a new one. God didn’t just restore what he lost He rewrote the ending and gave him more than before.
Some pain won’t be explained, but it will be redeemed. Stop thinking you have to settle for “less” just because you went through “more.” If it’s not better than your first portion, don’t accept it because it’s not from God.
God said He’ll give you double for your trouble. He’ll restore seven times more. He’ll do exceedingly, abundantly more than you can ask or think.
So when God removes people… removes things… removes comfort…
Don’t panic.
Expect more.
In the Eucharist, we find a visible manifestation of the reality that we are the Church of Christ, His members, His body. We are brothers and sisters in Him. And in Christ, though many and diverse, we are one: "In Illo uno unum". #CorpusChristi#MagnificaHumanitas
If you'll start thanking God that He’s working, thanking Him that He’s bigger than what you’re facing, thanking Him that He’s calming the storms, then you’re going to see situations suddenly turn around. Suddenly, you'll get well. Suddenly, your child gets back on course. Suddenly, the problem resolves.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
LIES YOU SHOULD NOT TELL YOURSELF
1. WHAT IS MINE WILL ALWAYS FIND ME: Who told you that? Abeg get up and go get it...Fortune favours the Brave!
2. THIS IS WHO I AM, I CANNOT CHANGE: No Sir/Ma, Times are changing , your adaptability to changing Seasons will always put you ahead of others. Did you hear a Wise man when he said- Madness is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
3. I DON’T NEED ANYONE, I CAN MAKE IT ON MY OWN: No matter how disappointed you are with people, you must need someone at some point to help you navigate through life’s hurdles. God Ordained Relationships are answered Prayers.
4. MY CHARACTER DOES NOT MATTER, I CAN MAKE IT REGARDLESS: Some habits are blessing blockers. Be Careful!
5. I AM TIRED MEANS I SHOULD GIVE UP: This Week, you might get exhausted mentally, physically etc. issues might stress and attempt to drain you. It’s okay to be tired....REST and hit the road again...NO GIVE UP MENTALITY here!
6. I AM WHAT I DO : Overtime , you probably may have disappointed yourself with your actions but always remember- YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU DO. Your Identity is who God says You are not what you’ve done.
7. I STILL HAVE TIME: You’ve got no time to waste time. Every time you are lazy, someone is working real hard. Every new day brings you closer to your next birthday- I don’t think you have as much time as you say you have. FACE YOUR FRONT. BE ALL IN with your Purpose and MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!!
Hope this made a little sense...
Use LOVE to guard your relationships. Satan is on the attack. So the word “covenant” must hold weight with you if your relationships are going to survive. Here’s how you spoil his attack:
🛡Pray consistently for your family & friends.
🛡Don’t complain grudgingly. Confront lovingly.
🛡Don’t manipulate them.
🛡Remember, people are as human as you are.
🛡Love deeply. Forgive quickly. Be ALL IN.
🛡Discern who your people are & let them know what they mean to you.
🛡Commit to define people by their strengths & not by their mistakes, bad decisions, or weaknesses.
🛡Invest time, words, & gifts into your relationships regularly.
If you appreciate them, they won’t depreciate.
