RSVP "répondez, s'il vous plaît"

I sat in the Doctors office
listening to him explain medical jargon
He looked at me and said "I am afraid
its not good news
from my knowledge and experience
I know the outcome isn't good"...

As I made the 2 hour long journey back home
my mind raced,thoughts piled in
there and then I asked myself
WHO AM I GOING TO BE IN ALL OF THIS
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO.

I had to make a decision and I had to act on it
I got home and first thing I did was get on you tube
you tube??? lol stay with me
I searched for Nigerian praise(WAZOBIA Gospel praise)
and that was it..
THE BATTLE LINE WAS DRAWN
I had to respond to the enemy and let
him know my stand
As I lifted my hands in praise and danced
through the tears that streamed down my eyes
I knew heavens host were being assembled
I wasn't going to loose
like psalm 149:6 (Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand)

And as I responded to the doctors report
with crazy praise and worship
I knew I had already won even before the
battle began...
I did not know what lied ahead
or how the days ahead of me were going to pan out
but what I did at that moment was important
The situation had spoken...and I responded in praise and worship
The situation listed all the odds and facts against me..But as I praised and worshiped
I told my situation who I was and who I served. A LIVING GOD

Did I cry...yes I did
Did I panic..yes I did
but I was going to have the final say
not my situation,not the doctors,not nobody..

It is time to respond to that challenge,negative report,

difficult situation..whatever it is you are going through..

You have an option to praise or stay silent

to fear or have faith

to believe the ordinary or believe the supernatural

Choose....

Don't keep quite

Talk back to the enemy

Respond.

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. ...
