When All Fails...

Hello! I am so glad you clicked the link and made it here today. I believe you are not here by accident my friend.

Sometimes life can get really tough (can I get a witness?). The pressure to do and keep doing gets crazy sometimes. You just keep working in hopes that soon you can rest a little but it seems like the rest eludes you even more with every attempt.

If you're like me, sometimes you wish you could pause time and live life without pressure even if only for a second. I am positive that you at one time or the other wished it would all stop.

Many times I have complained about the stress and always having something that needs to be done but my Pastor told me that the reward for good work is more work (Maybe we should reduce the quality?? Just small na😂😂)

Before I get sidetracked telling you about stress and stressing you even more, I want to share something I discovered/rediscovered recently: STRENGTH FOR LIVING IS GOT IN GOD'S PRESENCE. I want you to remember that. No enemy: physical, mental, emotional or spiritual can stay with you when you stay with Him. His presence casts out every form of stress, anxiety and depression. To avoid burn out, hang out with the King!

As simple as it may seem, it is a golden key to the life of peace and satisfaction. Explaining the logic is impossible but it works! I can assure you based on experience. I recently realised that I was very stressed, anxious at the start of every week, would panic at the thought of reading emails from work. I was just a mess.

Someone close to me asked if I had been praying and the short and honest answer was "NO", (not as much as before anyway). It really was torture living like that. By God's grace, I retraced my steps to the Master and day by day He raised and raises me up. I have decided there's no going back. What about you?

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:30‭-‬31 NIVUK

Have a blessed week.

Hang In There!

Hello! It's been a really long time since I wrote anything and I'm glad to be able to bring you something from God today. Once in a while, I feel an impression on my spirit man to share a word which is as I've experienced, a word in season. This is one of those "once in a while-s". This season I just feel the need to tell you to hang in there my brother/sister. I feel very strongly the need to encourage you in WHATEVER situation you find yourself. But keep your hope to the end and you will experience life and deliverance. Matthew 24:13 TPT Brethren these are trying times for many people but we are encouraged in Scripture to hold on, to hang in there, to believe God, to believe that faithful is He that has promised, to believe that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. I encourage you to just trust. I know it is hard. You just finished with undergrad schooling and things are not looking up. Your "mates and juniors " see

The Following Signs 🏃🏾‍♂️

Hello there! It's a new week and I hope wherever you are reading from that you are investing in the things of the Spirit this season. Believe me, those who have and those who have not will be as distinct as night and day in the coming days. It is foolishness to have access to all that is God's and remain in the poverty that is the pleasure of the world. When last did you tell someone about Jesus? When last did you open your mouth or type to someone that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that NOBODY can come to the Father EXCEPT through Him.  Many believers do not remember the meaning of the word "believer" or from Whom that word in this context draws meaning.  Are you a believer? "Yes" In what/Whom do you believe? "Jesus"  Do you know what He said? "Yes" Do you believe what He said? "Yes" Do you know the implication of what He said? "Yes" With all these yeses, where is the evidence? Where is the evidence tha

Respect the Anointing

Heyyy folks, welcome to an unusual discussion at an unusual time of the week too👀. I hope your week has been good so far. I bet if anything came to mind when you saw the topic of today's post, it was "we must respect men of God" or "the anointing you don't respect cannot work for you". Those are good and true but not today's context. Today I'm asking you to respect the anointing on YOUR life. Every child of God has an anointing on their life. You are the anointed of God as long as you have professed Christ's Lordship in your life. Many christians live less than fulfilling lives because they walk ignorant of the anointing and its purpose. God wants to use us (YOU reading this and ME) for amazing things in this world: To heal the sick, raise the dead, to restore, to build, to demolish amongst other things. Many of us do not know or do not remember that we are on a mission. EVERY TIME YOU INHALE AND EXHALE, YOU OWE GOD YOUR SERVICE. Where am I
