I am not Alone...

You know how you sometimes get that feeling of aloneness
You go through the motion that nobody understands what you are going through
or nobody has experienced what you are experiencing
You look at this faith walk and you are tempted to give up
To stop believing,To stop Hoping,To stop Confessing and Sowing

I am reminded of Elijah in the bible..He went through a similar period
in his life,He told God,I am the only one...I am the only who hasn't compromised
The only one who hasn't stopped believing in you for a Miracle,The only one
who hasn't bowed to the pressures that are mounting on me...The only one
still confessing you...I am the only one.

Isn't it so encouraging when God reminds us that we are not alone..
God told Elijah...See you are not alone...there are 7,000 People
who haven't bowed,Who haven't stopped Believing,who are walking this
faith walk with you...
I can imagine strength,hope and faith welling up in him..I can just
see him determined to continue on,determined not to throw in the towel.

This is exactly how I felt a few weeks back
God  amazingly orchestrated a meeting with a very lovely Couple..
what was meant to be a quick stop ended up being 2 hours of fellowship
As we sat listening to their awesome testimony upon testimony
Of God rewarding their faith especially when it was so unconventional
Faith,Hope was stirred up in Us.
This was God reminding me that in this age and time
that there were still ordinary people getting extraordinary results
because of Who they believed in..The EXTRAORDINARY GOD.
Isn't God really awesome..Right at the point when you are about to despair
to loose Hope,To consider quitting...He sends His Word..
He sends living Proof..He sends people to Challenge your faith
and spur you on..Thank you Lord!

Amidst this surge of faith...I can hear the enemy bringing doubt..
"What if...are you sure about this...why don't you"
I have determined in my spirit to Feed my faith
Its a conscious act...as I bring down every thought of the enemy
I replace it with God's truth...I starve my doubts.
With God nothing shall be impossible unto me.
I can not afford to give up or loose faith now..
No way...He has done it before,He would do it again..
I believe and I will receive The reward of my Faith.

 I am so convinced in my spirit that my testimony would be resounding..
God rewards Faith...God honours His word and every promise he has made
He is committed to bringing to Pass.

Dear Child of God..IF you have ever felt like you are alone
be reminded that you are not...
Don't give up on that marriage,Don't give up on that child,
Don't stop applying for Jobs,Don't conclude that situation
Don't compromise,Don't loose faith...
Keep Believing and Keep praising
Surround yourself with the right people
Feed your Faith,Apply It and watch God do the rest.
AMEN.

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. ...
