THE SACRIFICES WE MAKE WITHOUT KNOWING

-

 


There’s a story in the Bible about a widow who gave her last meal to Prophet Elijah during a time of famine. She didn’t know that act of kindness was a sacrifice that would open the door to her sustenance. While she thought she was simply helping a stranger, she was, in truth, sowing a seed that saved her household from hunger. Many of us are like that widow, giving, helping, or enduring certain things without realizing that we are actually making sacrifices that shape our future.


Most times, sacrifice doesn’t come with a label. It hides in our patience, in the quiet moments we choose peace over pride, and in the times we give up comfort for the sake of others. We think we’re just doing what’s right, but in reality, we’re trading something valuable, our time, energy, emotions, or even opportunities for something greater that might not appear immediately.


Sometimes, the sacrifices we make without knowing are the most powerful. They are not calculated or forced; they come from a place of love, faith, and sincerity. When a mother stays awake all night caring for her child, or when someone forgives instead of fighting back, those are silent sacrifices that heaven sees, even when no one else does. The beauty of such sacrifices is that they build strength, teach humility, and attract blessings we didn’t even ask for.


So, whenever you find yourself giving, enduring, or staying true despite challenges, don’t see it as weakness or foolishness. See it as purpose at work. Life has a way of rewarding unseen sacrifices in unexpected seasons. Keep sowing good seeds, because one day, they will bloom into things you didn’t even know you prayed for.


Thanks for reading, do not forget to comment and share with your family and friends. I wish you a productive and prosperous week.



Quote of the Week:

Some sacrifices don’t need an audience; heaven already took note.

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...
