COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS

-



Happy weekend my dear friend, I hope  preparation for Christmas is going well. As the year rounds up, it's important that we count our blessings. In a world that constantly draws our attention to what is missing, choosing to focus on what we have becomes a deliberate act of gratitude. Counting our blessings is not about denying challenges, it is about recognizing that even in the midst of struggles, there has always been light. When we pause to look back, we realise how far we have come, how many silent battles we survived, and how many doors opened in ways we never imagined.


Personally, I have learned that growth is deeply connected to gratitude. Each phase of my life has taught me that appreciation attracts clarity, strength, and progress. I have grown by acknowledging small wins, unseen help, lessons from failures, and the grace that carried me through moments I never thought I would overcome. Gratitude has shaped my mindset, kept me grounded, and reminded me that every step forward matters, no matter how slow it seems.


As the year gradually rounds up, it is important to reflect honestly. Yes, we must look back to correct mistakes and learn from them, but even more importantly, we must count our blessings. When we do this, we realise that 2025 was not empty, it was filled with growth, lessons, mercy, opportunities, and favour. With this understanding, we can walk boldly into 2026 with hope, confidence, and a positive spirit, knowing we truly lived a blessed 2025.


As we embrace this season of reflection and gratitude, I wish you peace, joy, and renewed strength. May our hearts remain thankful, and our minds hopeful. Merry Christmas in advance, and may the coming year meet us prepared, grateful, and expectant.

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...
