THE LONGER IT TAKES, THE MORE GOD HAS IN STORE FOR YOU
Everyone of us have had to wait for one thing or the other in life. While some of the things we wait for come to us as quickly as expected or before the time we had expected, other things take way longer than expected. This waiting period can be so frustrating, discomforting, difficult, excruciating and even full of anxiety making it seem like, God is silent to our prayers.
In all these, while the waiting might seem like an unanswered prayer, or taking too long to be answered…
OBSTACLES GET YOU PREPARED
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9)
How many of us can recall the last time we had a setback? I have had them severally. Though unpleasant but with them come life's vital lessons.
I have not had shortage of hard times or obstacles. There were times these obstacles came in succession like I had the worst case on earth ๐ and they still come.
But in all these, God has been faithful. He allowed these obsta…
NEVER LET THE DEFINITION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S SUCCESS DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE - PART 1
Everyone one wants to be successful and feel successful. For some people, being successful is having wealth, fame, power, education, being married and lots of other things.
We most times desire these things because we see them happening in the lives of others especially with social media clouts where it would seem like your life is heading nowhere.
With social media, there are people who have a vague or narrow minded definition of what success is.
Spending much time on social …
PRAISE IN PAINS
It is so easy to praise God when things are going well and great. The truth is, we have all had days when it seemed difficult to praise God. I have been in such situations and I'm sure you have been too.
At a time like this when the world is facing a common challenge which is COVID 19, there are people who find it difficult to praise God in such moments especially those who have been affected in one way or the other.
While some have lost loved ones during this period, some…

PRAISE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS (PUSH) : PART TWO
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PRAISE GOD
Last week looked at what Praise is and how we give God praise. You can find that here. Today we would be looking at what happens when we praise God. We were created to give God pleasure though our praise irrespective of what life throws at us. Whether things are going well for us or not, we ought to praise God at all times. Isaiah 43:21 says "These people have I formed for myself, they shall declare my praise." Psalm 150:6 says &quo…
PRAISE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS (PUSH)
It was a privilege to be part of the 5th edition of Praise Until Something Happens (PUSH) where I spoke on praise.
It is easy to praise God when everything seems to be going well as planned, but once the ships go down and things begin to go haywire, the last thing that comes to mind is to praise God. There is also this set of people who only praise God when they are in need, making God a checkbook father. Once their heart's desires are granted, they forget God, not even…
LIFE FLOWS FROM THE INSIDE OUT
"Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)
"Above everything else guard your heart, because from it flow the springs of life." (ISV)
