Isaiah 9:2  The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. That verse above spells REDEMPTION in simple words, proclaims our Lord precisely and preaches the Love of Christ. Do you ever wonder how wonderful the works of God are in taking us out of sin and giving us Life and a reason to live? Do you flashback often to imagine your former life without Jesus and see how miserable you were? A people that were not worthy to be called, sinners with no repute called out of the darkness and shown great light! The birth of Christ is indeed worth celebrating, is it about the Life he brought, the ransom he paid, the redemption he gave, his peace in our crisis,  his calm in our storm, his light in our darkness, his love in our despair? The Christmas period is here again and Jesus is the reason for this celebration. So many people anticipate Christmas because of the feasts and the new clothes to we

You want to marry a God fearing and gentle man/lady, you want to marry God's will for your life, you want to marry someone who is close and intimate with God. But then, let me ask; do you possess the qualities you expect in your future spouse? Do you measure up to the standard you laid up for that man/lady? So many people are looking for God's will in their marital life, but the question is, aside marriage, are you living according to the will of God for your life? Do you submit to his will and instructions as they come to you in your private life? You want to marry a spouse who hears expressly from God, do you hear expressly from God? From a letter collection I read, one of the writers said "I know God would not give his darling daughter to a bastard son, and whosoever the Lord gives me would be his very dear son". Now that is recognising and knowing who you are in Christ. That is knowing your worth as a kingdom child, knowing that God has the best plans for you

So many of us ask and desire for more of God, we cry daily and yearn for more of His presence, but then the question is: What have you done with the little you have already in your hands? To what use have you put the measure of God in you to? How much impact have you made with what you already possess in God? Our God is a resourceful God who does not put to waste his resources. If God has given you 2 and expects you to reproduce 4, but then all he sees is a child not putting to use what he has, but rather crying for more. And then God is asking; what have you done with what you already have? Elisha would not have been able to use the power of Elijah effectively if he had not put to use what he possessed before. A man that wants to be great in the kingdom has to be willing to yield to the smallest of things that God has given Him. Rather than crying for more of God, why don't we cry for the grace to YIELD  to what we already have deposited in us. Why don't we cry for more of

Some situations hit us in life and we wonder whether God is still faithful. We remember His past promises to us but then our present circumstance contradicts those promises and then we start doubting his words. I could imagine Joseph's state of mind after being sold to Portiphar and later being sent to the prison. I can't even imagine how dejected he might have been. However, one thing was constant about Joseph and that was his trust in and faithfulness to God. Even when he could simply enjoy himself with Portiphar's wife, and enjoy luxury at the house through the wife's influence; he rather chose to trust in and fear God. Genesis 39:9  There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Trusting in God is a part of our lifestyle as believers. This is because it is in believing that he is and trusting that he can do all things that we

Why are you keeping God's commands? Is it because it suits your present circumstance? Why are you serving Jesus? Is it to get healed of that disease? Hope you are planning to make heaven because you love God and not because you are afraid of hell. So many times, we do things out of fear rather than out of love. As believers, at times, we want to avoid sins and as a result, we become sin-conscious. And then, we tend to just want to know what is or is not sin to avoid God's wrath and not because we are committed to pleasing Him. As children of God, whatever we do should be out of our love for God and not out of the fear of his wrath upon the children of disobedience. God's nature is love, and it was as a result of this love that we were given the second chance to be reconciled to him. Jesus Christ is our second chance and, his death at the cross was for us and born out of his love for mankind. Yes, even while we were sinners, while we were unlovely and unlovable, Christ di

So yesterday, I was thinking and this popped into my head "Is God real?" Surprising, right? But you know what made me happy, I didn't need anyone to tell me that He is indeed real, for I KNOW HE IS REAL. Like, I wasn't cajoled or convinced with words to be sure of His existence, I JUST KNOW. Why? Because I have EXPERIENCED HIM MYSELF. There is an emphasis on the "myself" because the experience is a personal one. It is a decision that no one can make for you, you just have to decide YOURSELF. Now, most people believe that God exists because they were born into Christian homes and because their parents explained his existence to them. However, there is the place of EXPERIENCING God rather than just  HEARING ABOUT him, yeah there is a difference. And the difference between mere hearing about God and getting genuine salvation is from experiencing Christ. What does it mean to experience Christ? It means to have an evidence of salvation , it means to have

I went through Instagram days ago, and was overwhelmed by some of the things i found. Before I joined Instagram, which was recently, I just thought it was a place where people posted pictures and had numerous followers, finish (lol). I never knew God was also taking Instagram for his Glory. I saw forums like Mine Teenage Ministry, Ladies With Radiance, Voice Of Worth and I was awed at the reality that there still exists people in this generation who are standing for God. I started going through many things: I checked @travisgreenetv and his wife's page and the words of knowledge and insight I got there were things I knew were too deep for... I kept going through social media and then I got chatting with Debbie on WhatsApp and we spoke about sexual purity. She shared somethings with me  and that reminded me of an experience I had weeks ago. I was reading Francine Rivers' "Atonement Child" and i was really touched in fact, i almost cried. Then it got to a point in th

Somebody said something in church yesterday that reminded me of Mr. Cain. You know him now, that man that offered bad fruits to God and was rejected, whereas, his brother offered good offering and was accepted. That is the story we all know, right? Well, let me give you a shock; Cain did not offer bad offerings to God and neither did his brother (Abel) bring something better than he did. If you examine that passage of the Bible well, it was not stated the sort of fruit or better still, farm produce he brought or the state of the produce. All that was stated was that he brought of his farm produce. Genesis 4:3  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. So, what then made his offering rejected and his brother's accepted? Someone said it was because Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock while Cain did not bring the first produce of his farm. Hmmm, convincing, right? Well, I don't think so, because, I k

Hello, God Cravers, Let's act the Word!!! I wrote an essay and then told my friend to evaluate what I had written; so, he pointed out that I made use of many simple words. He said I could make use of some technical words to spice it up and thus, I decided to improve my vocabulary some more. I planned to learn new words everyday through my phone dictionary and this was how it went: I would open the dictionary, check out the random section for any word, read its meaning, and that ends it. However, whenever I did that, i easily forgot what i learnt. I mean, let say I was asked what word I learnt in the next 8 hours, I would not remember. So, some weeks ago, I visited TMO's blog, read some articles and from there, I learnt some new words. Now, from the context of USAGE of these words and my own research on their meanings, I am able to comfortably remember them and even use them. Why? What made the difference? I saw those words being USED in context, I did not just read them i

I have been troubled lately and finding peace. This is it, I have really being distracted by different things that I felt drawn from God, but I guess I was being taken through a process. This poem talks about my experience in the last few days, see how i found peace. When distractions start coming from all angles, It feels so draining and exhausting. When relief refuses to come, It seems to give rain to the struggle. When prayer becomes a difficult feat to accomplish And fellowshipping so boring an activity, Then we need grace to follow through When temptations billows and blows you And you feel emotions like a roller coaster Fear, anxiety, worry, care And peace seems as far As the east is from the west Whereas, torment seems close as your shadow Craving love from folks Seeking satisfaction from accomplishments Finding none for my soul Troubled and uneasy I clearly heard God say "I am your peace" The voice was reassuring I didn't feel like I needed an

I know you are being broken to pieces, but I do know that God breaks a man into pieces to make him great. There are certain experiences we go through in life and we begin to wonder where God was when we passed through them. We ask questions like, "God, why is my life getting thrashed? Why did I have to go through that pain? Why did I have to fail that exam? Why did I lose that admission? Why did you allow that rape? Why did I have to lose my job? Why are my grades falling? All whys and whys. During my devotion days ago, I read about David's encounter with Saul before going out against Goliath and the Holy Spirit dropped this in my spirit. When David was to fight, Saul was afraid and warned him because he (saul) thought David was too young to go against Goliath. But then, David said "I have enough experience, God has trained me enough to face Goliath, I have passed through the furnace and I am out better and stronger". He said that; 1 Samuel 17:33-37 33. And Saul s

Hello , Godcravers God's mercy is constant, immediate and intentional; It doesn't delay, neither does it fade. I prayed this morning for forgiveness and victory over a particular weakness and I was directed to read Isaiah 12:1-2  1. And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou was angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comforted me. 2. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. It was just like a speeding trailer, the response was prompt and immediate. God assured me of His faithfulness in keeping His promise of being merciful, He indeed comforted me and told me that he is my strength and my strong tower. When I was about to pray about that weakness this morning, I felt frustrated because I was fed up with battling with it. But then I remembered a particular video by godlydating101 that I watched which talks about how to be pure. In th

I have been trying to write an article since but I just was not able to. However, one thing I have diacovered is this, my mind has been the one calculating what to write and what not to and so I am grateful that I  was not able to write. As I was battling with that, God said, "let me be the one to tell you what to write". Seriously, I am so glad that the Holy Spirit has always been my muse for all my articles and I think that is why I was not able to pen anything as a result of my attempt to write as my mind prompts me. Being led by the spirit of God is one of the signs of being a child of God and I am glad that this is evident in what God is doing through this blog. There were times when I would have a fascinating idea in my head about what to write, but God so good, He would totally change what I write to what he wants me to write. At times, I would write an article and I would be surprised at where it would end because it would be far from what I intended to write.  There

Intimacy with the spirit is a function of a consistent fellowship- unknown. So many people desire to know God and hear from him but they do not see this happening, they feel that there is just this emptiness and void that needs to be filled. Knowing God and being intimate with him does not just happen by accident, it is as a result of consistent fellowship and communion with Him that is built on regular and intentional communication. In human relations, communication has been regarded as a very vital factor that cannot be taken for granted. Friendships, relationships, marriages, business partnerships and other human relationships are built on how well the parties involved communicate. Now, imagine you just met a new friend; you exchange contacts and then you refuse to call him and whenever he calls, you do not pick his calls. However, you go all round professing that he is your friend; please if I may ask, how did you build that friendship? Here, God is the new  friend; you met him

"I sing in the choir but I am addicted to porn and I derive pleasure from masturbation". That was me years ago; I would watch porn in church with my friends, yeah, I just said "in church", masturbate at home and sing in the choir on Sunday. My life revolved around chance and I became very addicted. Writing this is not easy for  me, because it is unveiling something I had always kept quiet about. But who am I not to tell it in order  to help others suffering get free. Like I said, writing this is not easy for me and I wanted to stop, but I kept getting pushed to write. I got an insight from the Holy Spirit  to write about getting freedom from addictions and I was to focus on pornography and masturbation, taking a cue from my personal experience. My friend was fiddling with her phone in church and I peeped to know what she was doing. Alas, it was porn! She was watching porn, I felt reluctant to watch at first, but as time passed, I started watching. It was terrible

I have been praying to God to help me be more fluent in tongues, I have always tried to pray for long in tongues than in understanding by allowing my spirit pray as directed by the Holy Spirit. Last night, I also had that same desire burning in my heart and as soon as I rounded off my prayers, the Holy spirit directed me to 1 Corinthians 14:11-16: 11.Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 12. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 13. Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. 14. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 16. Else when thou shalt

I remember the night I finally broke the relationship, I cried. I cried so much that I did not want to stop, my eyes were shot red and I almost got an headache. I was bitter, I asked why it couldn't be him, I was angry, I was sorry I had hurt him. I asked God to let it be him but I just could not disobey because I already heard the voice warning me about remaining in the relationship; but I still loved him (I thought). But one day as I thought about him God said something that I would never forget: If you are with him, you would never find your purpose, you would not discover me nor your place in my kingdom, you would be limited and just live ordinarily. There are some company we keep in life that will limit our destiny. It is not that they intentionally want to limit us, but our incompatibility in terms of destiny with them will make us unable to find ourselves when we are with them. Now, when God chooses, He would try to separate us from them to help us discover ourselves in

So, I got a message from someone to write about life. When I saw the message at first, I was like; OK, what aspect of life do you want me to write about and he said not the different aspects of life but just life as a whole entity. He gave some illustrations as to what he was looking forward to read and sincerely speaking, I did not know the answer to give. He called me days ago and asked for the answer and I decided to write this looking up to the Holy spirit for insight. Life life life This is a broad concept to discuss and so I would just write as inspired. There are different angles from which life could be explained but can we really dicepher life? The person asked me what is meant if one is said to be living or to have lived a good or bad life and I was totally speechless and few minutes later, I read an article by Rick Warren, the writer of "A purpose driven life". He said "life is preparation for eternity" and that keyed me in. He said, God did not put u

I thought I would be broken if I got the news I just got, but funny enough, I am not. I have been thanking God, praising Him for what happened, singing songs to glorify Him. A particular song has been on replay ever since I heard the news "Thank you for being God" by Travis Greene. I cried when I heard but  I am not sad neither am I depressed, I see this as one of those fire I must walk through to be tested in order to come out purified, I see God using this to make me become stronger, I see greater testimonies on the way, I see the situation as God's way of making my future testimony sweeter. I see the story as one that would help me reach out to other people in the future who may be in the same situation. I see God turning the situation for my good; my friend sent a voice note about God working everything for my good. I don't see the failure, I see a stepping stone to success, I see God saying: you are coming out stronger and better. God is indeed good, as I paused

Regarding this blog, I have to confess that I have been very scared. I have been afraid of writing about  things that I don't live; being an hypocrite. I have been scared of living a life unworthy of the calling upon my life. I have prayed countlessly for God to help me, l have postponed starting the blog as seen in my first post and i have  really being afraid to start this assignment. However, whenever I prayed, focusing on God as my help, I always feel a certain peace and that is one thing that has encouraged me on this assignment. And as I prayed some days ago, I was directed to read Isaiah 41:14 and it reads:              Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you,”  declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. I felt gladness after reading that and I was assured of God's help. This year is a very busy one for me as it comes with responsibilities in different areas and so, I have to be responsible to performing

I tried opening this site days ago but I was not able to and so, I decided to seek the assistance of a friend and that led to the writing of this post. I thought about blogging in September 2016 when I discovered my skills of writing and I did a lot of research concerning blogging. However, as time passed, I let  go of the idea and simply uploaded my poems on Facebook to be reviewed by friends and any one who cared to comment. S eptember 2017, I met Teefaith of Teens meet online who introduced me to Debbie Agboye and after series of conversations with her and reading her blog posts, I recalled my idea of wanting to have a blog. There was this particular night we spoke and after our discussions, I had a conversation with another friend which revolved round the activities we engaged in that day. And when he saw one of the articles I wrote, he pointed out that I could own a blog; and telling Debbie that, she encouraged me to open the site immediately. Wow!!! I was scared because I
