LIFE Is A Gift

-

Life, first of all, is a gift. It is what every one of us receives without payment. Nobody ever bought the life they are living. All living things live life free of charge. If life could be bought, the rich would have bought extra lives, so that in case they exhaust the one they have, they can put in the extra ones. But that’s not so. Every one of us is given this precious life to live and enjoy every day in one single lifetime. However, we have a different number of days to live that life on earth. Many times, we wished people who are close to us who have died had longer days to live here on earth with us. But the most beautiful thing is that we will still meet again. 

Life doesn’t end here. Our loved ones are not dead, they just moved to the other side, where there’s no more sorrows, troubles or shame. Death came to take off their garment and transferred them to a place of rest. For as many of us that are still here on earth, let’s appreciate and enjoy every moment we have with ourselves. Let’s celebrate our spouse, children, siblings, relatives and everyone with us. This is a good time to appreciate ourselves, and thank God for the good life. The people you might not appreciate today, you might miss them tomorrow. Let’s appreciate and celebrate people. Life is a gift, and we are all given to live and enjoy it.

TRUSTING GOD WITH EVERYTHING

  Hello, my dear friend,  I feel it's a good time to talk to you now that the holidays are over, and we are all getting back to our daily lives. It's important to take cognizance of some things that can help us live our best in this new year. Today, I will be speaking on "Trusting God with Everything." Many of us have reflected on the past years and observed that we lived each year with almost the same attitude and approach. We couldn't dare to take some steps, we procrastinated, we were afraid, and at some points, we doubted. All these happened because we didn’t believe enough. We didn’t take the steps that might have been the turning point we’ve been praying for.  We put in a lot of effort to succeed, while witnessing the success of people who didn’t do a quarter of what we did. Then, we begin to question God and grow the feeling that God isn't listening to us, not realizing that our insufficiencies are often due to our inability to take efficient steps. ...

MY TESTIMONY

They say life starts at 40, so I hope we all agree that I am now 22, with 62years experience. I am grateful to God that I have the opportunity to witness yet another year in the fullness of his grace, compassion of his mercy, and fulfillment of his promises. Today, I'll talk about some of my many experiences so far, how grace found and sustained me, my story may not be as popular as that of batman, superman, or even Cristiano Ronaldo, but my story is unique, and full of grace. I will also relate it with the topics we have talked about this month, as I have found purpose, dreamed, and I am manifesting.  It hasn't been a bed of roses, many waters have passed under the bridge, tons of water swallowed by the earth, but I am still here, if not for God, where would I be. I have endured a lot of hard times, experienced the death of my mother, father, husband and some other loved ones, but I've grown through all that I went through. Above all life, is full of surprises, disappointm...

THE GRAVITY OF GRATITUDE

Hello, my dear reader, It gladdens my heart to know that we both made it through 2024, and here we are in a new year, despite all the challenges of last year. In 2024, I was able to share a lot with you, and I hope to share even more in 2025. However, it’s important that we reflect on 2024 and prepare ourselves for the experiences of this New Year. Today, I will be talking about The Gravity of Gratitude. Join me. Let me begin by reminding you of the story of a certain man. This man lost his family, livestock, wealth, and health, yet he maintained faith and gratitude to God. He kept declaring God’s supremacy and continued thanking Him for His faithfulness, even through many challenges. His name is Job, and because of the gravity of his gratitude, God restored and blessed him in unimaginable folds. I know you went through a lot in 2024, but you must also acknowledge that God did even more for you. The very fact that you can read this message today means God has blessed you beyond reproac...
