Guest Post

Hello people,i've got something new for us today.  Its a guest post from a sister from another mother,dated back to sometime in August.  I'm sure you'll be blessed in some way.😃.It blessed me.
Enjoy the read😘.

*******Hi Everyone,
It's an awesome privilege to be here sharing with you guys.
This blog has been a blessing to me personally and I'm so proud of what Dr Grace 😍is doing here. She invited me to share from my heart and I have been pondering on what to share because I like to avoid situations like this 😃 but God keeps pushing me and breaking my walls.

I was at a hangout for young leaders yesterday and it was an awesome time in God's presence with God's people. One thing I've learnt in recent times is the beauty of growing together with power minds chasing after Christ and making an impact in our world for the kingdom.
In these days and times, a whole lot is going on and we cannot run this race alone. We need a support system to help us grow into all that God has ordained for us. People with similar mind set and passion as ours centred on Christ. It makes the journey a lot easier.


So back to what I learnt yesterday, a verse of the bible stayed with me and I've been meditating on it since then.

"We humans keep brainstorming options and plans, but God ’s purpose prevails."   Proverbs 19:21
 MSG

As a young girl just about starting my career journey, I have lots of plans laid out. I have even been charged in several meetings I've attended to have goals and plans; 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and even 10 years. So I set out thinking about the future and making serious plans so I'm not seen as lazy or not sure about what I want in life.
I'm sure this is not peculiar to me because  I've seen a lot of young people go through this same path in life chasing after their dreams, wanting to make something out of life and most common reason is we all want to be better than our parents and peers. It's all a self ambitious race to outrun eachother and be successful in our chosen paths.

So there is a lot of brainstorming going on, permutations on the best path to success and making money. This is the main cause of the high trend of young people now doing jobs they are not happy with simply because it pays the bills and gives them an opportunity to live the kind of life they wish for. It's more like chasing shadows because when the day is over they reflect and see that they are not truly happy. This leads to more work or engaging in various devices to fill this void. This dissatisfaction is the major cause of depression, drug abuse and high rate of immorality we experience in our world today.
Thank God for His word from where we draw wisdom and strength, the end of that verse says God's purpose prevails. This means God has a purpose for man and in the midst of all the plans we make, His purpose will eventually stand.  So while we go round in circles chasing life, God is patiently waiting for us to turn to Him for His purpose to prevail. This is because no matter how far we go, His purpose will be done. So we are the ones delaying it's fulfilment by not aligning with His purpose.


So Faith are you saying we shouldn't make plans or have a vision? Of course not. I'm simply saying in the midst of making plans, as believers walking step by step with Christ, those plans are inspired by Him and placed in our hearts, so it becomes easier to surrender those plans to God and be open to have Him come in at any point. Let Him take the wheel and be by His side as He guides you through this journey of life.
He knows the end from the beginning, He has our future in His hands so definitely He is in a better position to make plans for us than we would ever make. It makes the journey more beautiful and free from avoidable accidents.
In conclusion, I encourage you this week to allow God direct your plans. Stop brainstorming options and plans on your own and let Him guide you through. He has the plans in His hands and is more than willing to show you only if you will ask.
Have a beautiful week ahead.
Thanks for having me once again.
Love you

Faithfulness

Today I want to share something about faithfulness. Faithfulness,according to google,  is the concept of unfailingly remaining  loyal  to someone or something, and putting that loyalty into consistent practice regardless of extenuating circumstances. Literally, it is the state of being full of  faith  in the sense of steady devotion to a person, thing or concept. In my understanding, it is being consistently committed to a course or person regardless of what comes your way. I want to focus on the things that we have been called to do or the things that we find per time to do. Sometimes we can get so lackadaisical about stuff when no one is watching or when others are playing their part. Sometimes its really because we don’t have enough drive to do what we really want to do. Sometimes, factors beyond our control can be the cause. Sometimes its because we have not exactly decided to take up responsibility by ourselves. Sometimes we don’t have knowledge ...

GOD'S PATTERN OF HEALING// PT1

Hello everyone. I hope your week has been good? We'll be going on a journey through the book of Joel. I hope to expose certain things about God's pattern of doing things. You would have to pick up your bible to follow closely. God's ways are not the ways of man at all and the book of Joel paints that picture of how things go with God. I mean, the ways of God. I've come to discover that the ways of God remain the same from generation to generation. Though the situations may be different  but God's patterns are the same yesterday, today and forever. For this reason, the people of the land of Judah in the book of Joel were told to make known the ways of God from generation to generation. Joel 1:3 -  "Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation." Things had gone in disarray on the land and it's a reflection somehow of how things happen in our individual lives. A time came in Judah when...

My Beloved

If you would let me walk through the corners of your heart   I will take the thorns away with anesthesia enough to take you through I will shine my light in the path for your eyes to see and your feet to walk I will wrap you round in the warmth of my embrace From the cold that gives you frost bite in the feet and a chest pain even on a warm day I know you let some love in the left you broken And now it’s difficult to catch the pieces that remain because your strength is gone I see it all in your eyes, Even though you try to make it seem like you have it all together You have been bought with a prize I took all the brakes in my heart to see you whole I got striped and left in the cold so you could find warmth in me (would be hid in me and stay warm) I’m not about to let you go through all that trauma (again). I did it already, for you, for all So that when you pass through the rivers, you will have me around When you pass though waters, it ...
