5 Ways to Grow Your Own Food

-

Happy Sunday friends. Glad to come your way again. Hope you had a great week and everyone in the family did.

Today, I want to share something about growing your own food.

Growing your own food can be a rewarding and sustainable practice. I do it myself, and even at this time, it is more important than ever as there's food scarcity in many parts of our countries and the food prices are going beyond the roof. We've got to secure our own food and create a sustainable means of feeding.

There are various ways to do so, ranging from traditional methods to more modern and innovative approaches. Here are some of the different ways of producing your own food:

1. Gardening: An old practice but not out of fashion. Gardening is a good way to grow your own food. It involves growing your own plants, fruits, vegetables, herbs, and even flowers in the backyard, balcony, or any small piece of land around your house. It can range from small-scale container gardening to large vegetable patches.

2. Aquaponics: Aquaponics is a system that combines aquaculture (raising fish) with hydroponics (growing plants in water). Fish waste provides nutrients for the plants, and the plants filter the water, creating a symbiotic relationship that can produce both fish and vegetables in a relatively small space.

3. Hydroponics: Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water solutions. Plants are typically grown in a controlled environment, such as a greenhouse, and receive nutrients directly through their water supply. This method can be used to grow a wide range of crops, including lettuce, tomatoes, and herbs.

4. Raising Livestock: Raising livestock such as chickens, ducks, goats, rabbits, or bees can provide a sustainable source of meat, eggs, dairy, and honey. This can be done on small-scale backyard farms or larger rural properties, depending on local regulations and available space.

5. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): CSA programs allow us as individuals to support local farmers by purchasing shares of the harvest in advance. We can reach out to farmers that we know or those in our community to negotiate how the shares of the harvest will be done. Members typically receive a weekly or monthly box of seasonal produce, providing them with fresh, locally grown food while supporting sustainable agriculture practices.

So, those are the 5 ways (among others) to grow or produce your own food. I hope you got something from them. 

I desire you enjoy abundance and flourish in every way. God bless you and have a great week.

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...
