Hello friends! Welcome back. Trust your week has been great. Mine too was epic. I had fun last Monday celebrating my birthday. And It gladdens my heart to see several calls, messages, and surprises people did for me on that day. I really want to appreciate you and everyone who has taken their time to do all of these things. May God continue to bless you and increase you on all side. I’m so grateful! As I was just reflecting and remembering the things I've gone through in the past, one thing stood out for me. And that is for me to know that everything I had gone through in life was for a purpose. It could sound simple, but that wasn’t an easy conclusion I made.  Looking back, I could make sense of a lot of things I had gone through in life. And here, I want to share some of the reasons why I feel I have gone through those situations. First, is because my faith can be established in the Lord. If there are no trials, there won’t be opportunity to get my faith established in the Lord...

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 lo...

Blessed weekend friends. Welcome back. How has the week been for you? Hope you are doing well. I pray the Lord continue to make His grace abound in your life. Today, I want to share something about overcoming self-condemnation. Self-condemnation is a feeling that we often feel from time to time. Whether from what we’ve done in the past to what we are doing now, or from who we were in the past to who we are now, the feeling is second to none.  It usually starts from a very subtle feeling of blaming yourself for what is happening in your life, to the feeling of guilt and then self-criticism and self-sabotage. A situation could happen to you and you could just conclude in your mind that it happened because of you. You caused it. While that might be true or not, what condemnation does is to down your spirit and make you feel helpless and hopeless. But here is the good news, there is no condemnation for you if you are in the Lord. The things you’ve done in the past are no longer an issu...

Happy Easter Friends. Welcome back! It’s a thing of joy to celebrate this year’s Easter with the people of God. This is another time of the year when we remember the great works and the sacrifice of Christ for humanity. It’s now over two thousand years ago, that man was accused of treason. They said He was propagating a false kingdom proclaiming Himself as a king. And He was instigating people against the government.  They said His miracles were fake, but they couldn’t deny His power. They said His teachings were heresy, but they couldn’t deny the transformation.  They could see the hand of God upon Him. They could see people following Him without coercion. They knew something was going on but they couldn’t understand.  He became a threat to them, and they looked for accusations against him. They convicted Him and crucified Him on the cross. Finally, He died. And on the third day, He resurrected. He’s alive today. And He’s in us. Christ did a perfect work for us. He paid ...

Hello friends! Welcome back. And happy new month. I pray this month brings all that is good and fulfilling for us. We will receive new strength this month and make progress in every way. Today, I want to share 5 ways to keep our body in shape. Keeping our body in shape is very important these days because of so many conditions that could ensue from keeping excess calories in our body. And more so, when we keep our body in shape, we’ll be able to wade off diseases and infections, and our productivity and health will increase. There are many ways to do that, but let’s discuss 5 of them. 1. Exercise  We know exercise is good for keeping our body in shape and making us healthy, but most times we end up not doing it. Perhaps, what we should pay attention to is the simple way of doing it and how we can incorporate it into our already existing lifestyle.  Exercise can be as simple as doing push-ups and sit-ups in your room. Dancing to your favorite music. Walking, skiing, or doing yo...
