NOT ENOUGH!


โ€œYou are ENOUGHโ€ A three-word sentence your ears wouldn’t itch to hear but listen, drink that up! Your soul needs it.

Oh, you’re welcome๐Ÿ˜Š
Do you know that God doesn’t see you as an individual but as a nation?! Whoops!๐Ÿคญ A whole nation!

Some of your thought process after reading that: โ€œNations?๐Ÿ˜ณ how is that even possible? Does anyone even know me? no one knows my family, we aren’t even all that๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ nations ke?! (Smirks face) Please shift.โ€

Exactly! I expected that reaction from some of us. Mary gave that exact reaction when she realised she was carrying the saviour of the world, how convenient?
Mary: โ€œ๐Ÿ˜ฒ How can this be?! I am a virgin for heaven’s sake! I have not been with any man, I mean, even if I was supposed to give birth to someone, who am I to give birth to the saviour of the world?โ€
Pause fam.
You see, what Mary did not know was that right inside of her was a seed yielding to that prophecy. She didn’t look like the mother of the saviour of the world but heck yeah, she was! (Dey no dey write am for face)

Most of the time your reality will negate your identity- Don’t lose touch, hold onto the convictions of your identity even stronger! There’d come a season of alignment.

Come with me, darling,

See 1st Peter 2:9 says โ€œ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy NATION, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:โ€

But you are a chosen generation, a holy nation!
Look at yourself now, look around you. Do you look like it? Your answer would probably be a Yes or No. That’s fine.
But that doesn’t alter the fact that there’s a seed in you growing into the manifestation of that prophecy.

โ€œIni wait! this is a bit too much, I mean if this is in the light you’re coming from then I do not deserve to be called a chosen generation.
I mean, do you know my past? Hehe! Do you know my struggles?๐Ÿ˜ญ Do you know that I struggle with masturbation? with lying? I’m struggling with jealousy for Christ’s sake, how then can I be chosen to show forth the praises of God๐Ÿ˜ญ how?โ€

Fair enough dear.
You see? We’ve been called, we’ve been chosen, there’s absolutely nothing we would have done to get us qualified. This isn’t some interview where there’s a particular skill a company or firm is looking out for in a person, this is God we are talking about. His love is unconditional! There are always vacancies in him. All you need to do is believe and yield to him!
Jesus came, paid our debt in full and because you believe, you are qualified darling.

You think God is oblivious to those struggles? He is aware! And that’s why he said that he has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light! He has called you out of that place. You think he’d stop loving you regardless? Not a second dear!

We do not become like him in a day, the more we yield to him the more he strips off everything that does not look like him in our lives so we can look like him!

Oh that you would see yourself the way Christ sees you, in his eyes, in his lens, then you’d come to an irrevocable knowing that โ€œYou’re enough!โ€

There’s is a NATION tied to you, to your obedience.
You’ve got more than what it takes!
You’re ENOUGH child!
_________Godโค๏ธ

You're enough

An Eavesdrop So Essential.

It was just about one of those Sundays.
I had returned from church and was really famished so I jumped on a plate of rice, beans and stew.
I’m so grateful for the gift of food. lol

I tried getting my mind to do other things, but it was too reluctant to pick up on them so I thought a walk around my vicinity would do the magic. I quickly dressed up, got my earpiece, purse (just cos I might stumble on roasted corn and pear ๐Ÿ˜‰) and headed for the road.

Taking a walk, strolling, whatever you call it is nerve-calming.


Eavesdrop is usually not polite. Sometimes, we can’t just help init?๐Ÿ˜„ This is the most legal eavesdrop you’d ever experience. Come, listen to my mind converse with me. Get a wine, popcorn, water, (I literally pronounced that as โ€œwo haโ€๐Ÿ˜‚) whatever makes you relaxed fam.

My stroll hadn’t started properly when my mind started to churn out issues it was pregnant with, I listened. I was legit conversing with it you’d mistake me for someone that was on a call. I had an earpiece on; it wasn’t weird at all.

So what now? It began.
You have Jesus. And I’m like โ€œumm yeesss, rolling my eyesโ€ (I promise that was involuntary. I didn’t see the question coming.)

It continues…
You’ve been with him long enough, so you understand how this stuff works.
So when you’re down, this is your confession. โ€œI have Jesus. He’s with me!โ€
When nothing seems to be working, this confession stays.
When you’re hurt by the people you love, this remains your confession.
When you’re confused and stark disappointed, this still is your confession.

And somehow this works. Yes, you sometimes struggle with these thoughts and with staying positive but your hope? it remains undaunted. It is fixed. Somehow, you just know that you won’t get drowned, and that keeps you going.
Great, I must say.

โ€œSincerely at this point, I was confused. I didn’t understand where this line of conversation was going, so I kept listening.โ€

(It was still speaking)
So now, what happens to that girl, that guy, that woman, who doesn’t have Jesus?
Have you thought of the semblance of their lives?
Have you thought of what being in tribulations outside Christ feels like?
Oh, have you thought of how hopeless that/they could get?
What if their family whom they’re supposed to run to for solace are the initiators and triggers of their hurt? How do they pull through this without Jesus Christ?
How would they know that he’s close to the broken ones?

(At this point, my pace waned. I was almost not walking.)

โ€œI have a lot to do!โ€ I blurted out. (My heart was so heavy I didn’t know that that came out really loud.)
โ€œI have been lazy, yes. (I continued.)
I have pampered myself enough. I have given myself every reason to believe that I needed to breathe with everything that’s going on and that a wounded soldier can barely save another.โ€

Lessons from that conversation:

  • As a wounded soldier, the phrase โ€œwe live to fight another dayโ€ isn’t a clichรฉ. Taking time off is good, in fact, it is very valid. However, we must be sensitive enough to discern when our wound is healed, when to get up to continue the fight and more so, help others who are wounded.
  • I also picked that even with all the numerous pros โ€œtaking time offโ€ could bring, a major con of it is the tendency to get comfortable outside the battlefield. This is dangerous, in every sense of it. And then, it turns out that staying outside the battlefield becomes a norm. Seeing others continue the fight without you even though it might be a thing of worry at the beginning, becomes a normal feeling eventually. Seeing wounded soldiers without help becomes conventional, it’d literally take the grace and mercies of God to thrust you out of that place, out of your comfort zone, into the field, your place of purpose.

The only confidence we have as believers is in the fact that we have God. We are aware of him. We are not doing this life alone. It’s hard to explain the feeling. You know how you get into a messy situation and you’re so afraid, helpless and clueless. Suddenly, someone you can seriously count on to help walks into that place and you’re like oh! Finally! Thank God you’re here! You suddenly feel so much peace even though the problem isn’t even settled yet. That’s the feeling.

So when we look around, and it looks like the distractions, problems, are getting boisterous, our comfort is in the fact that even in those scenarios when we look closer, we see God, we feel him.

I sincerely don’t know why I’m putting these thoughts down. Maybe it’s all the accountability and push I needed to tell you that โ€œJesus loves you irrespective.โ€

He is always, always with you.

Matthew 28:20b
โ€œAnd be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.โ€

So darling, if you haven’t accepted Jesus and you haven’t accepted this new life he’s made available for all who believe in him, then you’re doing life the wrong way, to be honest. There’s no better time to accept and begin this love journey with him than now.
To be able to navigate this world with all the holes and bumps and live fully, expressing all he has called you to be, you need him holding your hands and walking you through it. You can’t have it better any other way darling.
If you need help, please reach out to people you know can offer you one in light of this.
And don’t ever forget that God LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY!

I love you too๐Ÿฅฐ

Apart from the few lessons I had put out, did you pick something different? Please share in the comment so we can all be blessed!
Thank you for stopping by! God bless youโค

Lying Liar!

Would you blame a person who churns out hisย energy, goes on โ€œbeast modeโ€ the whole day as if his lifeย depended on a 9-5?
Well, bearing inย mindย that it’sย hisย onlyย source ofย income.

How about someone who knows what lies in the end but puts in all efforts during the process to change the outcome.ย  Would you question their effort as well? (Smiles) I thought as much.

I woke up this morning with a grand sense of pity for the devil…hehehe!
Like do you get? Why does he keep fighting battles that Christ had already won for us? Now if a man can work relentlessly to make ends meet within the little time frame he has to work…how much more the enemy who knows very well that in the end, he loses?!ย  Guys, he’ll do anything! As a matter of fact, he is on work mode right now, doing everything within his capacity, and that includes lying to you and me!

The Bible describes him as โ€œthe father of all lies. [John 8:44b]โ€ (Meaning that he’s got his lies pasted on every nook and cranny and the funny thing is that he’s really talented in coming up with them.ย  Now, as if that’s not enough he goes further to align those lies to what your present condition might be.)

Does this sound familiar? Hold on darling,

Let me tell you what…
The devil isn’t that creative! Every single lie he’s come up with is stemmed from the truth which has been carefully handed to you. (the word Of God!)
Tell me one lie the devil has told you and I’ll show/tell you the truth from where he craftily manipulated it from!

And this clearly shows that he is FAKE!
That’s his nature! Originality is sure a strange thing for him!

So are they encircling lies around you? Maybe, just maybe you’ve lived all your life taking a daily pill of those lies and they have somehow become your reality, your normal.

Change is constant, they say and it is here. And the only antidote against the lies of the enemy is the TRUTH! (The word of God!)ย  Consistent consumption of it wears off those lies gradually. Soon, you’d begin to see and carry yourself in the lens of Christ.

This truth is to be spoken. Speak it! Speak it fearlessly, then get going!
You know naturally when people tell a lie about us we pay less to no attention to it cos there’s really nothing you can do to change the conception the person holds of you (well unless God intervenes).

In the same vein, why pay attention to the enemy when you understand that whatever finds a way outta his mouth is a lie? Guys, he doesn’t deserve the attention!ย  Since we understand that lying is his full-time job and what he knows how to do expressly ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

SNUB HIM! AND DO THAT THROWING THE TRUTH AT HIS FACE!The devil as a liar

We should not waste our focus on what’s fake rather we should focus on what is true and on what will stand!

#Just adding….(To do these you must be a lover of the truth….yeah๐Ÿ˜Š Studying the word of God should not be a burdensome task at all. Pray for grace and strength where there’s none, top it up with discipline and fam! You’ll be unstoppable!)

Know that we’re in this together๐Ÿ˜Š
Love y’allโคโคโค

Oh well, I couldn’t just send my first blog post of the year without wishing y’all a Happy New Year!
Happy 2019 blog fam! Cheers to growing together this year and beyond! Can I get a resounding Amen?๐Ÿ™‹
Thank you for reading! See you on my next blog post!

START AGAIN

โ€œYou know it’s almost not really about how you started but more of how you’re finishing!โ€ My friend said this throwing a tight gaze at my indecisive face on our way home after a really long day…

I just wanted 2018 to go! I was tired of it. I wanted it to fly with every struggle it presented, the stab of pain it came with, and even the unpleasant tidings it brought.
I wanted it to take a bow dragging along with it the feeling of discouragement and negativity.
I just wanted to draw the curtain bading 2018 farewell together with the stacks of disappointment it entertained me. Trust me I have eaten a lot from the plates Continue reading “START AGAIN”

SATISFACTION; What can truly satisfy?

SatisfactionAs a keen learner, I’ve learnt that satisfaction is not materialistic.
For me, I had long searched for satisfaction in the wrong places and I only got hungrier, thirstier and unsatisfied. I know most of us can resonate with this.

So you got good grades? Good๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Horizontal relationships that blossoms? Great!
A great support system?๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Family like no other? Beautiful!
A job that pays your bill and loads your account? Wonderful!
Children that brighten your day and sing your praises? Blessed!

Trust me you are deserving of every beautiful lot accorded you! They are yours to keep!

But can you take a minute and make a quick search within?
Just a minute!
Now does all these good stuffs Continue reading “SATISFACTION; What can truly satisfy?”

GODFIDENCE!โœŠ

Somewhere out there is a girl
Who’s been overlooked, displaced and sidelined.
She’s been told โ€œgirl! bring on your A-game!โ€
She’s put on all she is
And has further acquiesce herself to who she’s not
Yet she’s told โ€œgirl, your game is not strong enough!โ€
She has stopped trying. she’s wrong!

Somewhere out there is a woman.
A woman no longer comfortable in her skin.
She’s provoked at the course of her image.
Irritated at her Slim slender figure, her flat nose, full lips, plump figure.
She’s been rejected for a fate Continue reading “GODFIDENCE!โœŠ”

Jesus Christ and the world

with the stacks of rings on his hands.

Sternly, I observed some more.
Some walked passed him, totally blind to his existence.
Others courteously stopped, admired how good he looked. Continue reading “WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE?”
