A Friend, Indeed!

-

Glad to come your way again, friends. Hope you’re doing great and everyone in the family. It is well with us in Jesus' Name!

Today, I want to celebrate a dear friend.

There are a couple of things we are grateful for in life, and among them is good friendship. I’m thankful to God that I met my friend and her family. Her spirit, her cheerfulness, her humility, her love, her sacrifice, her commitment, her consistency, and her service to God and humanity (the list can keep going on), are beyond measures. I thank God I met and know her.

On January 20th, 2024, she and her twin sister celebrated their 60th birthday. I am grateful to God for keeping them alive to see that beautiful day. The celebration was truly grand, with people coming from all corners of the world to join in the celebration. Needless to say, my friend is a person with a beautiful spirit. She radiates positivity wherever she goes and treats other people’s things as if they were her own.

She is loyal and hardworking, a friend you can trust, knowing she always has your best interests at heart. She brings smiles to people's faces and has a talent for making things beautiful, particularly in event planning where she excels.

I say, no matter how dire a situation may be, my friend has the grace to turn things around and bring out the good in them, leaving people in awe. She consistently creates an environment for joy and happiness for people.

Ore mi (popularly known as Mama Tee), as you celebrated your birthday, my prayer is that the Lord grants you the desires of your heart. May you continue to experience God's goodness, may your path become clearer, and may you continually increase in wisdom. May God's blessings, favor, glory, grace, and strength multiply in your life.

May you live long to fulfill your days, and may you experience true happiness, joy, and boundless peace and prosperity. May the Lord expand your territory and provide you abundance from heaven. Your children shall know joy, and great shall be their peace. Your husband will be a perpetual blessing, and your love for each other shall continue to flourish. May you reap the fruits of your labor, and may the works of your hands be blessed.

You've been a tremendous blessing to me and everyone around you. May you continue to be an example of boundless love, joy, kindness, and unwavering strength that turns ordinary events into extraordinary memories. May the Lord keep you and continue to elevate you for His glory. You are dearly loved, Ore mi. Happy belated 60th birthday!


And to you my dear reader, I celebrate and appreciate you. May you experience the goodness of the Lord, and may your joy be full this year. We will always have great things to celebrate among ourselves in Jesus' Name. God bless you and have a great week!

Oriki to my friend (Tribute)

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. ...

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 lo...

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...
