WALKING THROUGH FAITH: MY VACATION IN PHILIPPI, GREECE

-







Happy new month my dear friend, I pray that this month will be productive for us, may all the good things of this month be our portion, and may evil not come near us and our family. This week's message is coming late, because I've been looking for the best way to share my experience, I will be sharing some videos with today's message to give more clarity to the message I will be passing. I pray you are blessed by the message. 


I recently traveled to Greece for a vacation, not just to relax, but to retrace the steps of Apostle Paul and experience the living history of his ministry. Importantly, I fellowshiped with brethren and participated in the celebration of the annual TOTAL WOMAN CONFERENCE. One of the most profound parts of this journey was our tour around the ancient city of Philippi. We explored the ruins of Basilica A and Basilica B, the remnants of the earliest churches, and the excavated city once buried by an earthquake. These stones may be old, but they still speak, their silence echoes the boldness of the early church and the unstoppable spread of Christianity.


We followed the very paths Paul took as he entered Philippi, where he met Lydia, one of the wealthiest women in the city. Her conversion marked a turning point, as her home became the first ecclesia (an assembly of believers). We stood at the ruins of the prison where Paul and Silas were jailed, simply for proclaiming the Gospel, unaware by the authorities that Paul was a Roman citizen. That moment of injustice turned into divine intervention, the prison shook, the doors opened, and a Roman guard who nearly took his life ended up surrendering it to Christ instead. His household, too, became a secret church, another chapter in the unfolding story of God’s greatness.


Beyond the spiritual pilgrimage, Greece offered natural beauty that left me in awe. Surrounded by majestic mountains and crystal-clear waters, and home to one of the highest numbers of islands in the world, the country is not just rich in history but in hospitality. The people were warm, the culture vibrant, and the atmosphere peaceful, a perfect backdrop for reflection and renewal.


This was more than a vacation, it was a rekindling of faith. Standing where Paul once stood reminded me that the God we serve is not bound by time. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In the ruins, in the testimonies, and in the quiet whisper of the wind that moved through the ancient city. I witnessed the greatness of God. And today, I share this with you as a reminder: our faith is not in vain. Our God is truly alive.


Thanks for reading, do not forget to comment, and share with your family and friends. God bless you, see you next 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...
