Receive the counsel of the Lord For therein is life In his rebuke There is safety In his correction There is security He does not reproof out of anger He disciplines out of love He knows our frame How fallible we are Weak and without strength He understands our weaknesses He has walked in this body before However, he reproves us To help us from dieing He sends out his counsel So that We are not destroyed His faithfulness Is Constant They are new every morning Even when we are chastised His loving kindness Is ever sure Take heed, Beloved! The Lord corrects those who he loves, to prevent them from falling off. Do not despise his rebuke. Kindly drop a comment and share. I call you blessed.

So, I watched the movie; The Train on Sunday and I was all shades of reactions, from ahhing to wowing. At some points I prayed, laughed, spoke to the person beside me and had deep thoughts within myself. The movie chronicles the real life story of Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, and it is a movie indeed for the season. Anybody who truly wants to know the definition of Purpose, must watch it. Anyone who wants to know the meaning of Walking with God, must watch it.  Purpose is not Instagram photos! Purpose is Death! You die to your senses and fleshly desires! Purpose is Crazy Faith! Purpose is giving yourself up! Purpose is being foolish in the eyes of man and seeing through the eyes of God. Watching the movie, I learnt so many lessons and I would love to share some here: 1. The Rocky Christian Journey:  The Christian Journey is not an all smooth or all rosy one. There are road bumps on the road, and it  takes the mercies of God and deep faith to wa...

I have found joy Sweet, sweet joy! I remember When I still struggled With life Trying to figure things out All by myself Trying to live life By my rules Serving myself Uh, subtle idolatry! Trying to fulfil My selfish desires Consumed with "I" Then satisfaction fled Nothing worked out Confusion set in He then told me... Lay it all down Give it away It was hard! It was difficult To let go It was difficult To stop being in control But it paid off! Clarity came Joy was restored Oh, how soothing it is When we trust God Joy! Pure joy Awaits us! Trust in his leading Lay it down! Who is in charge of your life? You or God?  Give all your plans away, let Him direct the course of your life, and you would see that He makes lives beautiful! 

Surrender your anxiety! Be silent and stop your striving and you will see that I am God.  Psalms 46:10a TPT So many of us, in the process of trying to live life and fulfil destiny, we find ourselves making plans of our own and all. And many times, this leads to anxiety, especially when things do not work out as intended. However, God is saying "Be silent, stop depending on your intelligence to figure life out, stop striving because I want you to thrive. Depend on me! Be still!"  To be still means, to wait upon God and not to struggle with his will. To be still, is to trust his instructions even when they sound weird.  To be still, is to stop struggling and give it all unto Him. Be still and you would indeed experience his Supremacy as God! Be still in this new month! Selah! Happy New Month!

Have you seen a little child who is on the verge of slipping, and on getting hold of the mother's wrapper clutches to it? There is a way the child clings to the mother, to show the trust and confidence he or she has in her(the mother).  That should be the same way we rely on, lean on, trust in, confide in and cleave unto God. Trusting in the Lord does not have to be when we are comfortable. In fact, tough situations that we encounter are what really proves whether we trust in the Lord or not. At times, we would encounter some things and our faith is so weakened that we begin to wonder if there is a God in heaven. Life may become harsh, people may seem unfair and unkind, we may be mocked and challenged just like King Hezekiah. However, as children of God, there is a security that comes with trusting God. Even when life seems rude, there is this confidence we have, that makes us stand firm just like David in front of Goliath. 2 Kings 18:5-7  He trusted in the LORD God of Israe...

Light of the world Who are you? What life do you carry? What kind of fire burns in you? What light do you possess? Light of the world Bringing bare The works of darkness Exposing principalities Making a public show of them Exposing the intents of men Expelling forces of darkness Light of the world Igniting life and grace Emitting the fragrance of love Dispelling evil Rendering to naught Spells of wickedness The life you carry  Is for a purpose How intentional are you About it? The fire burning  In you Is not for that alone How much have you  Affected your world? How well have you  Spread Christ? How well have you shown Christ To a dying world A dark world An helpless world A confused world In desperate search for answers Dear, light bearer Arise!  Shine! The Glory of your God Indeed is upon you!

Having and dealing with some emotions as a Christian. So, I had a very intelligent and interesting conversation with a friend, about having certain emotions and dealing with them as a Christian. And I would like to share some of the things I gained from the conversation. Let's go... So, we were talking about having certain thoughts, feelings and emotions as believers and how God can help us deal with them.  Having emotions and catching feelings is very normal. Yeah! Infact, like my friend said, if you don't have them, then we should ask you questions. However, what you do with those emotions is what matters . I remember when I was younger, I had a couple of crushes, lol. Maybe not a couple sha, I had quite a number. And looking back now, the truth is, I can't even remember what fascinated me about those people then, not to talk about still being fascinated by them now. So, what then is the use? Now, beyond having a crush, it could occur that you begin to develop...

Hey, God Cravers, how has the year been for you? How are you experiencing the Lord this new year? Late last year, I was in a meeting, and the person ministering talked about how much the Lord is set to do in the new year, we were asked to prepare ourselves for God's outpouring in the new year and be greatly expectant. Oh! I did not know that message was for me until recently. Now, I don't know who this message is meant for but I know someone needs to read this. "Don't let bitterness, anger and hate take roots in your life, you may spend your entire life shaking it off " Scripture says " The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" John 10:10. At times, we may feel cheated, not cared for or rejected, however, that is not a reason for us to hold on to hatred and resentment, it is not a reason to let the devil steal your peace of mind. See, one thi...

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 clot...

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...
