LIFE Is Predictable

-

 


Growing up, I wouldn't believe this- " life is predictable ", How? We had always been taught that life is mysterious and whimsical. It happens anyhow and you don't know what will happen to you. You don't know if God will help you or somebody will hate you. It's always by luck or by fate. Nothing is predictable. You can't plan anything. You just subject yourself to luck and miracles. 

To say life is predictable, I don't mean change will not happen one way or the other. But you have the power to make it and turn it to the direction that you want. And because it is inevitable, it happens anyways. 

But with the old mindset that I had, it is easier to believe that there is absolutely nothing you can do about predicting your life. You just wait to see which direction your life will go. There's nothing you can do about the government or the condition in your country. You just believe that God would solve all the problems and if He does not, there's nothing you can do. These and many more were the ' deadly mindsets ' I had growing up. 

But when I discovered that life is predictable, I realized that I can plan my life and predetermine what would happen to me. Somebody once said " the best way to predict your future is to create it."  This means you have the ability to determine how your life and future would be. I am where I am today because of what I did or didn't do. Nobody is responsible for what happens to me, except me. It was a shocking revelation coupled with mixed feelings of why I didn't know this much earlier in my life. 

But anyway, it wasn't too late for me to begin to organize my life and plan a better future, and with the understanding that my life is already in God's hands , it's a victory-assured life. I have the assurance that I will live my life in health, wealth, peace, joy, abundance and all the good things of life if I will only follow the principles that guide these things. And I will keep working on them everyday and keep getting better on my approach at life and my knowledge and understanding of the provisions of God that are available for me and everyone.

Turning 60 – How It Feels Like!

Welcome back friends. Thanks for stopping by. I’m so excited to share this moment with you as I celebrate my 60th birthday. I’m so grateful to God for making me see 60 good years on the land of the living. This is a lot and it’s a big deal for me. I have seen the Lord’s goodness, His mercy and compassion. I have seen the hand of the Lord in every area of my life. When things were difficult; when life was turbulent, the Lord rose for me, He stood by me and made Himself a shield for me. I can’t start counting all the goodness of the Lord. They are so innumerable and unquantifiable.   I thank God for my dear husband (of blessed memory) who served the Lord all through his life and left a great legacy behind. I thank God for my children (both biological and adopted), my siblings, my extended families, my friends, my colleagues and everyone who has been of great blessing in my life.  I can’t count all the people I’ve met in my life – all the people who have been so great and loving, kind and

Embracing A Journey of Resilience And Gratitude

Glad to come your way again, friends! Trust you and your family have been doing great and having a great week. Today marks the 7th year anniversary of passing to glory of my dear husband. It was just like yesterday when the whole incident happened. I thank the Lord who has kept me and my children, and has led us, and continue to lead us in the way of life and fulfillment. I met my husband at my workplace in the year 1990, and ever since then, it has been a journey of love and fulfillment. I knew my husband (Joshua Adeyemi Olojo) as an honest, meticulous, diligent, caring, loving, and God-fearing man. He was someone who loved the Lord wholeheartedly and loved people also. He instilled the habit of serving the Lord in his children, and made it a family tradition for us to always have daily devotion and go to church. On September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked by the Islamic terrorists, my husband was caught in the building, and he nearly died in the incident. Thank

With so much gladness in my heart, I welcome you, dear friends, to the New Year 2024. This is a year that we've all been expecting, and thank God, we've entered it. Thank God for His goodness and faithfulness. Where shall we start? Is it to recount how the year 2023 was spent or to plan for the year ahead? I know that at the beginning of the new year like this, many things go through our minds. Questions like – How will the year look? What will happen? Won’t what happened last year occur again this year? And so on. But God is faithful. He will grant us wisdom and understanding to navigate this year. We will receive direction and clarity. We will not be confused or frustrated this year. For we know that all things work together for good for those who love God and work according to His purpose. For this year, we know it’s our blessed year. It’s our prosperous and glorious year. We will not lack any good thing this year. And the Lord will be our sufficiency and provider this year.
