Judges 6:12 GW [12] The Messenger of the Lord appeared to Gideon and said, “The Lord is with you, brave man." if your name is Gideon and you're reading this, special shout out to you!  okay, I'm kidding.😭 special shout out to you, God's beloved, reading this. Growing up— I mean, I'm still growing.... but yeah, growing up, I knew Gideon as one of those strong men or rather, one of the Bible heroes; which infact is candid. And you know something about this thing  called growth? Here's a formula for growth — the deeper=the higher.  But hey, I'm not writing all of this about growth. I could see the growth in my devotional life to God, when my Bible study began to birth insights. I'm gradually leaving behind the childhood narration of who was who in the Bible. As Apostle said (please read this in his voice)....." I have put away the childish thingssssszxxxxxxx."  One of the signs of growth in your devotional life is the depth of insight birthed. B...

 an ambassador; — an envoy, an emissary, a representative.  an ambassador ;— a person who acts as a representative or promoter of a particular body or activity. It always baffles me when I see growing business owners acting nonchalant towards the promotion of their enterprise...... I was having yet another conversation with myself in the kitchen while I was washing some dishes, about this whole topic of " repping your brand ". Some people would say "it's easier said than done" — true, if you believe that facade!  I never refer my jewellery retail business as a "small business" — sorry, we don't do that over here!  The way you see your brand, the same way you get to treat it. And even sometimes, we tend to get amazing imaginations of our brands and businesses becoming multinational, yet we cease to promote it like we want it to be what we've imagined.  As aforementioned, by the grace of God, I own a jewellery b2c business, but that doesn't s...

  Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV [11] For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope . Some days ago, at the dining table, my younger brother made a comment which he considered 'random' but it really wasn't.  He mentioned the fact that people's dreams die or get washed away due to the poor economic status of the country—He even referred to his own dreams not becoming reality, during this not-so-random observation.  Those words clung to my heart and kept resounding in my ears. I was bitter, not at what he said or the economic status of the country...but I was weeping on the inside and outside, because a 12 year old was already suffering from a " no hope " syndrome.  This story is already looking long. But I'll continue, anyways.😭 That night, I encountered so much unrest. I began to pray for this growing man, using him as a point of contact to every other person who is going through th...

May 2,2022 — the day I 'hugged' God. Luke 15:20 TPT [20] “So the young son set off for home. From a long distance away, his father saw him coming, dressed as a beggar, and great compassion swelled up in his heart for his son who was returning home. The father raced out to meet him, swept him up in his arms, hugged him dearly, and kissed him over and over with tender love." I was right there in my room searching the Scriptures to solve a sort of puzzle I had found on Instagram, with Yeshua Hamashiach by Minister Nathaniel Bassey, playing on my Bluetooth speaker– it was loud enough to envelope my ears and room. A few minutes passed by and I remember that I wasn't reading my hard-copy Bible to solve the puzzle anymore. The Word was now ministering to me, hot uncontrollable streams of tears flowed down my eyes and I began to ask for mercy even as I went down on my knees. From what felt like 65 hours of asking God to forgive all my iniquities, I began to confess that Jesus...

 Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 GW [9] Two people are better than one because ⌞together⌟ they have a good reward for their hard work. [10] If one falls, the other can help his friend get up. But how tragic it is for the one who is ⌞all⌟ alone when he falls. There is no one to help him get up. I never knew the essence of having "prayoooos" as my friends. I never knew the importance of having prayer partners, not until sometime last year. I just knew that I was consistent with my prayers to God and that felt okay. In my 100 level days, I had a roommate that introduced me to the ritual of "prayer walks". Oh, I loved it so much—walking and talking with God, it was an absolute pleasure. It was even during one of these walks that I got 'renamed' [story for another day]. I was so used to walking and having awesome moments with God[the whole trinity join].  In 200 level, we changed hostels and my roommate that used to wake me up back then wasn't with me anymore. I made up ...

"I rebuke you in Jesus name!"—these were the words I said out loud in the bathroom, some years back.(I think I was between the age bracket of 3-5 years). My mom had asked me "what happened?"...all I can remember now, was that the devil actually tempted me[I can't remember vividly now]. I remember one other time, when I was singing a worship song in the bathroom and I bursted into hot tears(loud-wailing, actually)....I was also quite a youngin, hardly 5 years. These childhood encounters can't leave my memory —even though they're quite blurry,  I still see them as moments that recreated themselves even as a growing and thriving youth. That same spirit that quickened me as a kid, is that same Spirit that cleared my playlist as a teenager. [How did He clear your playlist???]—it was just one random day, during my quiet time and the whole thing happened....I cried my lungs out, I just couldn't believe it! I had dreams of becoming one of the 'baddest...
