JERICHO PRINCIPLE

HA...today I remembered what my dear friend Ko and I called the "Jericho principle"

sometimes I really feel like shouting...I don't mean the fancy hoot we ladies let out..I mean a real loud shout...well I am not going to yell out before my neighbours call the police, but even if it means me shouting under my pillow...I will shout...

I will shout at every situation that has made me cry,
I will shout at those times when I felt inadequate, unloved, ashamed and alone
I will shout at every doctor's report that is inconsistent with Gods word
I  will shout at every bank statement that has had a zero balance in it
I will shout at every wall, every mountain, every challenge that has told me I can't
when God has said I can...
I will shout at every negative voice that has spoken concerning my destiny and future..
I will shout at every door that has closed against me...
I will look failure in the eyes and shout at IT.


It takes great faith to shout....
It takes faith to shout at that zero balance ,at that failing marriage, jobless state, doctor's report, childlessness, prolonged singlehood, you name it.
I remember the children of Israel......Joshua In Joshua 6:16 said to them "SHOUT FOR THE LORD HAS GIVEN YOU THE CITY"
To shout means to praise through, to sing and dance even with no music playing, to raise your voice and proclaim victory even with the walls(JERICHO) still standing...
It might not look like anything is changing or happening, but keep at it, Just like the children of Israel marched 7 times round their challenge, it looked silly at first, no result after 5 times but they carried on. In the end with a loud shout they had their victory....keep praising, keep shouting and chanting your victory...It doesn't matter what anybody thinks,hold on to God's promise,

Don't give up dear Child. .SHOUT, SHOUT,  SHOUT UNTIL THE WALLS CRUMBLE.
Getting my pillows ready..................It is time to SHOUT!!!.

Who is your father?

Who is your father? I remember the first time I travelled to my village without my parents I must have been in primary school and my dearest grandmother of blessed memory insisted my parents brought me over for the weekend. Village life really and truly intrigued me, I loved the simplicity of communal living and how content everyone seemed, food was eaten fresh from the farms, with the large itigidi river providing fresh fish and water, and in the evenings, a dozen children would gather in my granny’s living room to watch a DVD, what was there not to like, for a child living in the city and raised overseas, village life was exciting, refreshing and alluring. That was the first of many visits, the older i got,  my grandmother became the most influential woman in my life, especially as I had lost my mother at age 14. She was wise, inspiring and I picked up my literary prowess from her as she and my mum piqued my interest in books. She would make me write letters to her and...

Are you taking notes?

  Are you taking notes? I am so excited, something is brewing…but I cannot aptly describe it; I know without a shadow of a doubt that something is about to happen. I am so pumped about my future and what God is doing and as I look ahead, I cannot help but reminisce for we cannot truly appreciate how far we have come until we look back. Today I had a flashback to a season of my life where I was overlooked, underrated, and written off. I was that girl with nothing going on for her, I could walk into a room and not be noticed, not because I wasn’t beautiful, attractive or good looking but because when people looked at me in that season, all they could see was what had happened to me. What had happened to me? I had failed and repeated a year in university, I was the assistant class rep that year and I had to be replaced. Oh!  the disgrace and shame I felt, every bit of confidence I had in myself was knocked down. I still remember the silence and hushed tones when s...

THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Oh no, it was actually real, the scene that had just flashed before me wasn't from the contagion movie. It was actually real. Somebody pinch me! News , mayhem, panic buying, fear mongering, social distancing,self-isolation unimaginable loss of lives, truncation of businesses, and untold hardship for many. I caught myself as a wave of fear washed over me, what is the meaning of all of this, what must I do, what is God saying? As I pondered, I could hear very clearly in my spirit these words: "This too shall pass "and almost immediately an unexplainable peace and confidence in a God who is bigger than my fears and still In control settled me. How are you doing child of God? Are you troubled, worried, tired,afraid or overwhelmed? Rest in the assurance of God's word and His love. Amidst all the fear and uncertainty be reminded that God is sovereign.  Amidst all the pain and the loss be assured that God is present, to comfort and to restore. ...
