He Doesn’t Want Perfection
Too often we hold back on what God has already told us to do because we don’t feel good enough. We don’t feel qualified. We worry about what others may think, the questions they may ask, simply, the judgement they may pass. I sometimes find myself fitting into this category. God tells me to do a thing and out of fear, anxiety and doubt I begin to question what He said. I tend to forget who He says I am and even so who He is. I forget that I am Fearfully and Wonderfully made. Marvelous are the works of His hands. I would get so caught up in the…

I am not a captive to Fear, Worry, Anxiety or Doubt
This is a 21 Day Devotional Fast I am currently doing from the YouVersion bible.com app. It has been every encouraging so far and I particularly loved this devotion which has given me more insight into living in faith with God. The devotion is quoted below. Devotional “In the famous narrative of David fighting Goliath, David needed one single shot to Goliath’s forehead. So the question follows, why did David pick up five stones when he only needed one? Generally there are two camps of thought; one camp says that David lacked faith; and another says that it was because Goliath had 4 brothers. The first is refuted because David…

Jump in Faith
False Evidence Appearing Real! (FEAR) That’s our Fears! So that’s what we are truly afraid of? Really? It’s funny how we can become so afraid of ….. NOTHING!!! Funny and yet interesting huh? In the book of 2 Timothy 1:7, we are reminded here by Paul that “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Yet still we adopt what God has not given us into our lives, holding unto it like it is ours. What Paul was really telling Timothy was that when God created him, He did not craft him with a spirit of fear, but…

A Journey To Discipline
One of the things I’ve realized is that it is always easy for me to begin a thing but to continue it for a longer period is challenging. For example, I have seen myself get all hyped about waking up early in the morning to exercise for the first week, even the second week but by the third week, I’m like, “give me just five more minutes in bed please, I just can’t…” Then this turns into an hour and days go by and I have missed my goal. I do realize though that this does not happen for everything just the things I need to put more effort into…

It’s Still Possible – Just BELIEVE
Isn’t it funny how we (women) tend to put others first a lot of the time. We are always ready to serve others be it our children, parents, husband, church family, even our jobs and oftentimes tend to forget about ourselves. We often sacrifice our desires to meet that of those we love and serve. I question, why do we sacrifice so much for others and forget about the passions engraved deep within our heart? We sometimes push so hard for others and are so consumed by the cares of those we serve that we even forget that we once upon a time used to dream. Please note I am…

Go Where He Calls You
Go where He calls you. He has already prepared the way. Be Strong. Be Courageous. God is with you. Joshua 1:9 tells us “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” However let’s dig a little deeper. In Joshua 1 from verses 1 to 9 God spoke to Him after His leader past and instructed him to take up the mantle and gave him the keys to be successful. This is outlined from verses five (5) then in verse nine (9) reminded him that He would not be alone because He (God) would…

Why be Thankful
Thanksgiving is a truly special time of the year. It’s that peculiar moment where we reflect on the days, months and years gone by, we ponder on our losses but even more so on our gains/blessings. It’s a moment in time where our busyness stands still in order to show gratitude to Abba and then we extend this to our family, friends, coworkers, other loved ones, and also to our enemies. In this period of time we live in, it can surely be a bit difficult to utter thanks and I truly understand. We have been faced with great pain, sorrow and frustration as a result of everything happening in…

He is Protector
Could it be that the Lord your God has already called you out to a special assignment but you are filled with fear? You are still stagnant because you fear failing. Or could it be that the vision is so big that it’s easier to run from it than towards it, even if you know that the Lord Your God will do the fighting for you? Either way He is still calling you out from among them to pursue this great assignment. The impact you will make on the lives of the people will be massive. Young and old will come to the Lord because of your obedience. Lives will…

Time to Move
I have observed that every time the Lord desires to do a new thing in my life there was some form of movement which needed to take place. Have you ever observed this in yours? Let’s take this experience in my life as a simple example; I used to work at a sign company for a few yeas. After a while I honestly got bored and didn’t feel challenged enough. I needed some exciting challenge in my life which would push me to grow. Soon the Lord began to speak to me about leaving the job but I wasn’t very in tune with God and brushed the voice off thinking…
