GROWING RIGHT

Few days ago, a song titled "changed" by Geoffrey Golden popped up in my spirit because of the joy and gratitude of what God is doing in my life and how far He's brought me. I remembered how I was before Christ found me years ago. I did a contrast of my life then and now and realized the change thus far is so tremendous; my life, my mind, my desires, literally everything. Indeed, He changed me. MY EXPERIENCE It all started in March 2016. Sitting in a hall in my secondary school where the scripture union in school hosted a program, the Word came with much conviction and power then, altar call was made. I never wanted to go cause my juniors, classmates and friends were around. I didn't want to look like a sinner before them cause I presented myself as a Christian but deep down I had struggles, addictions, fears, depression, etc. Unknown to me, my spirit man was panting for the change.  Just so I don't look like an unbeliever, I resisted the desire to go...

The slaying apparel was the thought that came to my mind while reading through an interesting scripture. I began ruminating on that word " slay " and why many young ladies take pride in bearing the name "slay queens". And I thought to myself... "if only they know what it means to bear the name; the criteria and the burden that comes with it, they'd think twice." Being a slay queen isn't about putting on fancy designer clothes and shoes. It's not about being fashionable or showing some part of your body through revealing clothes. Come to think of it... Dressing so offensive and provocative actually do connote you're slaying, but slaying the wrong target. WHO YOU'RE UP AGAINST   There's one core enemy of mankind. The one who stops at nothing to see lives slayed and brought to utmost ruin just as he is. And that's the devil. But unfortunately, ladies even men are busy slaying for their own enemy. Indirectly, they work ...

If I tell you, l love you, yet my actions doesn't show it, would you believe me?  I curse at you, devise evil against you, always retaliate with hurtful deeds and do all manner of stuff against you, tell me, what will be your thought or action when I tell you I love you? Assuredly, you'll be full of grievances and anger at the sound of it and you'll ask yourself, what kind of love is that? But directly or indirectly, that's what many of us practice today even amongst christians. We say we love our neighbor just as God's word commands yet do lots of unspeakable things against them. Love is more of actions/deeds than words. Even God had to show His love for mankind by giving Jesus. It's a basic principle which should be seen in your relation with others. We'll be looking into that now but first, let's see who a LOVE BEING  is? Scripture says: "And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love and He who abides in lov...

The world in which we live comprises of varying culture structures; every nation or tribe with its uniquely different cultures. Culture is simply the custom, belief, behavior of a particular group of people that is passed down from one generation to another. It includes language, music, food, fashion (dress pattern or attire) and even family structures. An example of the diversity of cultures is this: In east Asia, it's very common for multitude of generations to live together under one roof but individualism is very common in west Asia where adult children move out from their parents. That's how different cultures can be. But today, I'm talking about a divine culture. It is the CULTURE OF THE KINGDOM. Only those that identifies themselves with Christ, His ways and His kingdom are eligible to bear that identity. Just like I earlier defined, culture has to do with the behavior/custom and beliefs of a group of people. So, as citizens of the kingdom of God who has ...

Have you made plans of going beyond your present self (positively) and current feat? Have you ever thought of going beyond the norms society set as standard, or exceed that which is expected of you by family and peers? Daily, we're pressurized to take decisions according to norms (either tradition, set of rules and philosophies, etc) and most times, we fallaciously believe that those norms will bring us both fulfillment and satisfaction. In as much as those standard aren't wrong in itself, it will only bring out little of all God has in you. It won't only limit your potentials but will make you comfortable with less which will eventually make you leave this world not fulfilled according to God's benchmark of fulfillment... and that's not good for you. Daniel was an example of a person who made a difference in his time even as a young person. There was just this thing that made him different from his age grades. He grew up to be placed as a governor and w...
