Trust....

Trust........
What does it really mean to trust God
To depend solely on HIM,
To surrender your will,hurts,pains and emotions totally
to HIM....

Lately I have struggled....
struggled to make sense out of all the happenings in my life
I have struggled....I have tried to question the reason behind the Whys...
Why do I have to go through Fire...
Why do I have to go through a season of mourning..
Why do I have to be tested
Why can't I just have it easy like everyone else(or so I think)
Why do I have to have a wilderness experience
Why do I have to wait..
Why Why Why...

I remember Brother Joseph..
I wonder what he must have thought
He faced,rejection,betrayal,death,hardship,prison and so on
Why...A great destiny a Glorious Future Ahead.
I remember Brother Job and the season of the trying of his faith.
He lost all...But God restored a hundred fold

Everyday I wake up to my struggles and the whys
But I am choosing to make a constant effort
To trust....
To trust the one who is dependable,reliable and True
The one who never Lies and is Able to Do what He has promised.
I am determined to take advantage of God's grace
To bask in his presence and to allow the truth of his word
Dissolve all my fears,worries and questions away.

He says to me...Trust me..though you can't see you can trust me...the road may be steep
but you can trust me...though you may be hurting...you can still TRUST ME...
He says to me..Trust me with all your heart...don't try to figure out the whys on your own..
In due season you would understand the whys..
Today as I stand on the promises of God while encouraging myself
I want to encourage you as well..
Your problems or challenges do not equal God's promises
He is a good God and He remains faithful,His love for Us is undeniable.
Don't give up...He would come through for you.

Psalm 42:11
The Message (MSG)
Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul
  Why are you crying the blues?
Fix my eyes on God
 soon I'll be praising again.
He puts a smile on my face.
  He’s my God.

Trust is so key in our walk with God & every experience he brings our way is to strengthen our trust in Him.

I daresay the way you have trusted in Him in these times is proof positive that He can trust you with His treasures.

I look forward to celebrating with in due course.

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. ...
