The Ant and the mortar

 I have been privileged to work with bamboo for some weeks now.
I have been producing paper from bamboo fibres.
Earlier today, whiles pounding my bamboo fibres, an ant fell into the mortar.
I had wanted to help it out but I knew that if I tried to reach out for it, the ant would rather hide from me and get further lost in the bamboo fibres.
…and so, I left it to find its way out.
Deep within me, I knew it would find its way out.

Just then, Holy Spirit began to minister to my spirit (I just love Him!!!)
I believe this post will bless you today…
He taught me…

Many times, when we cry out to Daddy for His help and it seems as though He is not forthcoming with the needed response, it is not because He does not love us or He does not see our tears.

Many times, He just wants us to tap from the greatness of Himself which He has placed on the inside of us, to come out of our situation.

You have been crying for sponsorship for a long time.
Meanwhile, God has placed within you, the ability to amass wealth for yourself; He has imbued you with ideas that can give you even more than what the sponsorship you are looking for could ever suffice.

You want to end that relationship
But you have forgotten that inside you is placed the power of ‘choice’. You have the ability to say ‘no’ and you have the power to be firm and resolute in your decision.

You want to patch things up with a friend.
It is not God Who Is going to descend to patch things up for you. You have the capacity to reach out… even if it means giving the platform for your heart to be trampled upon by the other.

You want things to change for the better.
Yet, you cannot see that change lies within you. You are the torchbearer of change and your decision to be the change is what will cause your entire environment to dance to your tune.

Beloved, Daddy has placed so much within you.
You are very bold enough to stand for what you value.
You are strong enough to fight off the negativity around you.
You are brave enough to say, ‘No More!!!’ to that addiction.

…and when you are ready to find that ability that is within you and when you are ready to unlock it to its fullest potential, please please and please again…
CONSULT HOLY SPIRIT.
He loves you so much… more than you could ever imagine.

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram  a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached.  My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,  holding promise for both the present life  and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?!  Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing,  especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely.  After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means:  if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure.  I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be unable to repay us

February 17th - ...but We used to be friends....

Have you ever felt tears well up in your chest so hard and heavy that you know you could easily burst into heaves of tears in any given moment? I had one of such moments today.  The first reading at Mass today was from the Book of Jeremiah 17:5-8 and there is a portion that talks about how accursed is the man who puts his trust in man and in his own strength. It talks about the dryness such a man encounters and how this man will never see prosperity.  I was convicted by this Scripture because it showed so clearly that the condition of my heart has been like one of such a man. Why am I saying so? Aside getting my second degree, I am trying to be intentional about my Spiritual growth and about music ministry in church. Basically, I am trying to be intentional about becoming.  ("Becoming" is the expression I give to my quest to attain my fullest expression as His daughter).  ...but that has just been the problem... "I am trying to become"  Having th
