In seeking Him, I became.


I thought that I had to know so much before seeking God.
I thought that I had to be full of ‘the Word’ first before seeking His face in prayer.
I thought that I had to be pure before I could seek Him.
I thought that I had to be clean before seeking Him.
I thought I had to have figured out a lot of things about this life before I sought Him.
I thought I had to know Him quite well enough before I could speak to Him.
No…

I have learnt that it was when I went in my nothingness that I became everything.
I have learnt that in approaching Papa in my nakedness, He was able to clothe me in His warmth and provide me with efficiency in my deficiencies.
When I sought Him, I became a hardworker.
When I sought Him, I became clean.
When I sought Him, I became pure.
When I sought Him, I became better.

I only changed and became, when I sought Him whiles I was deficient.

In this walk of ours, the first step is to approach Papa in your truth.
“Come as you are”, He says.
Come, naked, empty, broken, impure, indecent, shattered, lost, confused, unintelligent… just, “come as you are”.

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all other things shall be added unto you.
This command is not a joke.
In seeking Him, I received the added value of becoming better.
I can only become who I am meant to be, when I have sought Him… first.

Babe, seek Papa first.
You’ll figure your walk on this earth much better and easier when you do.
Trust me.
This is continuously being tried and tested…

Blessings.

An Invitation to Intimacy

  I gave my life to Jesus in St. Louis Senior High School.  I am very sure I had gone forward for altar calls many times before that. But St. Louis was different. I was conscious; I was aware of myself and my environment. I knew I needed God in my life. To be honest, the issues of life drove me to take God seriously. A friend had had a dream about her and me and the moment she shared it, I knew I had to let go of the old garment and take on the new. So, I joined the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) meetings and that was where my life changed.  That encounter led me to a great relationship with the Lord. I read the Scriptures (my favourite was the Book of Psalms because I used that to pray a lot). It was in St. Louis I learnt I was never alone (why do you think I support Liverpool FC so much?). I learnt to rely on Him alone.  When I entered the University, I realized a newfound freedom and observed (by the Grace of God) that if I didn’t take my spirituality seriousl...

30 things I love about you: pt. 10-12

Hi babe,  6 more days to go. We thank ABBA for everything.  10. I love the way we resolve conflict. I truly appreciate the posture with which you approach conflicts. Thank you for showing me that your posture is always to do what is needed for us to move forward. Thank you for showing that your goal isn't to find who is at fault and then crucify the person but rather to identify how to build from there and keep building. It took me a while to know this and thjs knowledge gives me the peace to resolve issues with you. I pray ABBA'S blessings for you, always. 11. I love how you give me room. You don't hold me back. You push and keep pushing me to strive for excellence and to be the best. Thank you for pushing me to start Doux! Thank you for pushing me to take my place. I encountered a man, whom I thought I loved, who was more concerned about me putting my ministry and dreams aside to pursue his. He never encouraged me if it didn't fit his "ideas". One of the mai...

30 things I love about you: pt. 7-9

Happy Monday, baby!  Can’t believe we are a week away. I am nervous… in a good day. I pray you have a great day on that day.  7. I love the way you pray for me  Baaaabe! Thank you for always praying for me. I get to see your heart every time you pray for me. On the hardest days, you are there to cover me in prayer. On the happy days, you are there to thank ABBA with me. Thank you. I love it when you pray. Bruh! You pray so well, by ABBA’s Grace. I love you. Thank you.  8. I love how you seek opportunities to correct my childhood traumas.  I remember that one time I shared the story of how we used to manage food in my home as a child. I told you about how our stew was always little with a lot of rice or yam or whatever. I remember how on that day I shared this with you, we were having lunch at your parents’. I recall how you went to the kitchen and fetched so much stew for me. It meant a lot and on so many occasions, I have seen you seek opportunities to correct ...
