My pep wall...





I always look forward to the beginning of a new year..
Each new year brings with it a load of endless possibilities, a reason to start again,perhaps revisit failures and mistakes of the past year and do and be better.
And every new year,I excitedly project my hopes and dreams
And pray that God in his mercies would make my dreams come true..
This year 2016 has been no exception..

A few days ago,I had a little quiet reflection of all the
Dreams,goals and objectives I had set for 2016 and beyond
And a little cloud of doubt appeared to be looming over me.
A picture of the past year was painted before me,
As the challenges,difficulties and the goals written yet never achieved were
Amplified before me.
I recognised the pattern only too well..

Have you ever tried to lunch out and yet you feel like a voice is saying...slow down
Every one else failed so why would you be an exception?
Does any body know that familiar feeling of self doubt that dashes your high expectations and just leaves you feeling lack lustre...
It is a strategy of the enemy we know only too well..
We start the year inspired,attend all the goal setting seminars and workshops,
Talk and dream big for a day or two and then poof..the steam is out..
Our passion is dead and we are back to same old,same old.

Look back at the cross-over night into 2016...the celebration,the joy,the 'happy New Years 'said to friends and family and the wishes and prayers that followed..
A few weeks go by and then reality sets in as we are faced with the mundane things of life.
As the enemy tries to paint to us another picture..that just maybe we shouldn't be so hopeful and expectant.

So how do I overcome these doubts? How do I stay motivated and keep my faith alive..
I remember as a single lady...my bathroom used to be my pep-room..and I had a pep wall.
I had so many scriptures stuck to the wall so every morning and night as I got into my bathroom
These scriptures were constant reminders of who God made me and the plans and thoughts he had for me...
Today I have hidden them in my heart and the holy spirit brings them to my remembrance.
Eph 3:20 is one of my favourites..now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,according to the power that worketh in us.

Our victory this year and How much we would achieve is determined by what goes on in the battlefield of our minds...we can be all That God says we would be...regardless of our past successes or failures..
When the enemy gives us a reason to doubt..let's remind him of what God's promises say concerning us..
When we limit ourselves by our own doubts and insecurities may we encounter destiny magnets that would propel and push us to believe again and lunch out..
May our dreams not be aborted by fear..but may we find the faith and courage in Gods word and presence to keep us relevant as we make a difference in 2016.

Challenge for the week...
1.Create a pep-wall and stick scriptures on it that inspire and encourage you.
2.Write down every thought that is not consistent with God's word for your life and find an opposing scripture for it.
3.Identify a destiny magnet around you and spend time with them.



God bless you as you stay encouraged..

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

Before the novelty of the new year wears off Let me take time to welcome you to 2015 and wish you a great year.. I so love a new year,it is a constant reminder of the Kind of God we serve.. who gives us another opportunity To start again,dream again,run again..regardless of what May or may not have happened in the past year.. Permit me to take a slow ride down memory lane as I look back at the highlight of my year 2014... I must look back so that I can appreciate  from whence God has brought me and where he is taking me to. I must look back lest I take for granted all he has done for me. I must look back so when the enemy comes to lie to me that God hasn't been good I can count my blessings and make My boast in the Lord. 2years ago after the loss of my daughter I found out that there was a 50/50 chance that the next child I conceived  was also going to die. I remember the consultant looking at I and my husband with a very sad face as he told ...

THANKSGIVING..

I have never had to struggle for want of what to write but I have literally spent the past minutes just staring at my screen.... where do I start from is the issue at hand How do I compress the faithfulness of GOD to me in just a post...hmmmm.. I turn 28 today..yet it seems I have been here longer.. I marvel at the quality and the richness of my life.. The wealth of experience and all that God has invested in me... For all his many blessings,For his favour and his Presence  Lord for all these and more..I say thank you I woke up today with gratitude,with a heart full of praise...God has been Good to me.. I take a walk down memory lane and I go back 15 years  to a time when I first accepted Jesus. What I am most grateful for is this decision I made to follow hard after JESUS A lot of times I failed Him,strayed away,messed up,blew my chances But His mercy never ceased and  I kept seeking and running after him.. I have come a long way 15 years later,I still l...

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...
