WHAT SACRIFICE REALLY MEANS

-


 Happy new month, my dear friend. There’s a story in the Bible about Abraham, a man who was asked to give up his only son, Isaac. He didn’t argue or question God, he simply obeyed. That was not just an act of faith, it was a deep picture of sacrifice. Sometimes what God asks of us isn’t what He truly wants to take, He only wants to see how far our hearts can go. The real sacrifice wasn’t Isaac, it was Abraham’s willingness to let go.


Sacrifice is not always about what we lose, it’s about what we choose to give up for something greater. It is the silent decision to stay when walking away feels easier, to forgive when you have every right to be angry, to keep trying even when you’re tired. Many times, it’s not the big things we give up that define our sacrifice, it’s the little things we do that cost us comfort, pride, or convenience.


Sometimes sacrifice is not even about giving, it’s about taking. Taking responsibility for others, taking the blame when it wasn’t your fault, taking a stand when silence feels safer. It’s choosing to carry what doesn’t belong to you because love demands it. That’s the kind of sacrifice that builds character and teaches strength.


True sacrifice changes you, not just your situation. It teaches patience, humility, and faith. It’s not always about losing something, sometimes it’s about finding yourself in the process. So this week, before you think of what you’ve lost, remember that every sacrifice made from a sincere heart is never wasted, because in the end, it shapes who you become.


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


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

Sacrifices are not about pain, they’re about purpose.

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...
