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...

Helllooooo friends, welcome back. It’s been a while, I know! Haha. I hope you are all doing great. I’ve surely missed you, and my heart is with you. For months, I’ve been on a break, doing life and taking care of family and work. Thank God for His grace and faithfulness. I appreciate everyone who has reached out, saying the blog has been a blessing to them. I couldn’t be more grateful. This is a special season, and I believe the LORD is going to do great and marvelous things in our lives. He says, " What eyes have not seen, what ears have not heard, what has not entered into the heart of men, the things that the Lord has prepared for those that love Him" —these are the things He’s going to do in our lives. This time, I’m writing again with a more specific focus. I feel the Lord is leading me to turn to my fellow widows, those who have faced the unimaginable loss of a loved one and are navigating the winding road of grief. It’s a path I understand by the grace of God, one I’ve...

Glad to come your way again, friends. Happy Sunday! Today is a beautiful day. The weather is cozy and bright. Thank God for life and good health. How was your week? Hope you had great moments.  Today, I want to share something on faith titled  – 5 ways to boost your faith.  Faith is a very important subject to discuss because it is what we need to go through trials and temptations. We know life is full of challenges and we can’t succeed in this life without having faith. Faith is what makes us win without struggle. It is what makes us enjoy divine provisions without experiencing the lack in this world.  Faith is simply tapping into the supernatural force to make grace available. The Bible says f aith is the substance of the things hoped for; the evidence of the things not seen. So, by faith, we know that beyond any doubt, we are more than conquerors. Here are 5 ways to boost our faith: 1. Hearing the Word of God: Faith comes by hearing the word of God. When we keep ...

A very happy Sunday to you, dear friends. I hope you had a great week, and everyone in the family did.  This past week was when we celebrated women internationally. I celebrate all women out there. And I pray that may we continue to be the joy and pride of our generation, and may we continue to flourish in all good works. God bless you. Today, I want to share 10 foods that help us prevent liver disease. We know that maintaining a healthy liver is important for enjoying overall health. And just as we always talk about on this blog that good food plays a major role in maintaining good health. So, here are 10 foods (among others) that help prevent liver disease: 1. Broccoli: Broccoli contains antioxidants and fiber, which aid in liver detoxification by supporting the production of detoxifying enzymes in the liver. The fiber in broccoli helps in regulating digestion and promoting bowel movements, which can indirectly support liver health by reducing the workload on it. 2. Garlic: Ga...

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. ...

Glad to come your way again, friends. Hope you're doing great and everyone in the family. It is well with us in Jesus' Name! Today, I want to share a few things about  how to prevent breast cancer.  According to recent statistics, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases diagnosed in 2020, and it is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, accounting for approximately 685,000 deaths in 2020.  So, it is a condition that we must pay attention to and create adequate awareness to let us wade off this plague, especially among us women. Preventing breast cancer involves taking proactive steps towards our health and adopting a lifestyle that guarantees a good life. Here are 7 ways to prevent breast cancer. 1. Self-Breast Test and Regular Screenings First things first. It's vital we do regular breast tests ( I will discuss that later on my blog ), and follow recommended guidelines for breast cancer ...

Happy weekend, friends. It’s always my joy to share these writings with you. Hope you had a great week and everyone in the family did. Today, I want to share with you a few words of encouragement. Perhaps, you might be going through something difficult and life might seem hopeless for you. You might feel frustrated and overwhelmed by what you are going through. Each of us goes through trials. And even though they may come in different ways and vary from person to person, they are essentially all challenges. It’s one thing to know that what you are going through has a solution. But it’s another thing to be able to find the solution and work things out. Most of the time, it’s not easy to navigate difficulties or challenges. Your mind is consumed by the issue at hand, making it difficult to focus on other areas of your life. I understand. It’s the same for many of us. But you know what? We have hope assured . We are confident in whom we believe. We don’t live this life on our own. We have...

Happy weekend friends. Welcome back. Trust you had a great week and everyone in the family did.  Let’s talk about food today. We know we can’t have too much of it. It is what keeps us alive. Not only that, it makes us healthy. And with food, we can have regulated blood pressure because most of the food we eat contains chemicals that affect our body chemistry and hemodynamics.  So, we’ll discuss some of those foods that contribute positively to our blood pressure and cardiovascular system. Here are they:  1. Leafy Greens: Leafy green vegetables such as spinach, kale, water leaf, and all our local vegetables are rich in potassium, which can help regulate blood pressure by counteracting the effects of sodium. 2. Berries: Berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are high in antioxidants, including flavonoids, which may help reduce blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health. 3. Green Plantain: Green plantain and Bananas are a good source of potassium...

It’s a beautiful day today. Happy weekend, friends! Glad to come your way again. How has your week been? Hope you enjoyed it, along with everyone in the family. Today, I want to discuss the topic – 8 easy ways to save money. We know this is a critical time when we need to be more conscious of our spending and save money for our future prosperity. There are 8 ways I want to discuss. And these are easy steps that any of us can incorporate into our lifestyle and make a meaningful change in our finances. Let’s look at them. 1. Creating a Budget:  First things first – we should know where our money is going. A budget is simply a plan on how our money is spent. With a budget, we can see where our money is going and how to make sure we are using it in a way that aligns with our priorities. I know we have a lot of things to spend money on, but that’s where saving money starts. It helps us to stay within our capacity without overspending. 2. Meal Planning:  We might not realize it ea...

Glad to come your way again, friends. Hope you’re doing great and everyone in the family. It is well with us in Jesus' Name! Today, I want to celebrate a dear friend. There are a couple of things we are grateful for in life, and among them is good friendship. I’m thankful to God that I met my friend and her family. Her spirit, her cheerfulness, her humility, her love, her sacrifice, her commitment, her consistency, and her service to God and humanity (the list can keep going on), are beyond measures. I thank God I met and know her. On January 20th, 2024, she and her twin sister celebrated their 60th birthday. I am grateful to God for keeping them alive to see that beautiful day. The celebration was truly grand, with people coming from all corners of the world to join in the celebration. Needless to say, my friend is a person with a beautiful spirit. She radiates positivity wherever she goes and treats other people’s things as if they were her own. She is loyal and hardworking, a fr...
