I met Jesus as a little child, growing up in a Christian home was an advantage, being dedicated in church and carried along with my parents was a privilege and this gave me a little knowledge of Jesus.
Jesus is the son of God who died to save your sins, if you don't want to go to hell, then I have to be obedient to my parents as Jesus was and the rest of the things they teach in Children Sunday School, I miss those days😂
grew up to know Jesus personally and at age 10, I was already baptized with the Holy ghost, speaking in tongues and seeing visions especially in my dreams. I dreamt of things that would happen, I started writing, I wrote songs too! Let's just say I was burning for Jesus🔥
All of a sudden everything changed when I became a teenager, the teenage age is a very critical stage in a man's life and can either make or mar the future of every man. A stage where life seems like fun and you would want to try out everything for yourself, I felt like that too.
I couldn't find the fire, writing became boring, I lost passion for the things of God, I no longer saw visions, my dreams became useless. My life was on a different phase, I couldn't place it but then I didn't know what to do so I went with the flow.
I made friends with the wrong people, people who couldn't help me stand, I wandered into this dark life alone, got into pornography and then masturbation, I had strict parents so it helped me stay away from dangerous places so all I had was secret sins!
Mind you I was still a church girl, very active one at that, my wandering into life made me broken, I couldn't find peace, I knew this was not home! I knew this wasn't my identity, I struggled with mingling with several people yet the Holy spirit reminded me of who I was😢
You are saved, redeemed, forgiven, made for more, made to impact lives, made to save a nation, you are a chosen generation! Yes you, I couldn't run from His unending love, from the peace and joy He gives.
I knew He longed for an intimate relationship with me and not a show off in church. Years later, after a heartbreak I had no one to console me but He was still there. I just wonder how much God wants us, how much He wants to have us to Himself and once you are His, you are His!
With all your sins, God still wants to have you back, home is still calling!
Running back to Jesus was the best thing that happened to me, the peace, the joy, the love, the fellowship I missed! I found purpose, I found a friend in Jesus! I wish I can explain this experience🔥
Salvation is the best thing that can happen to a man, it gives you a reason to live! Life without Jesus is futile, painful and useless! I introduce to you the best place to be, which is in Jesus, if you are yet to accept His love for you this is the time to come unto Jesus.
He wants to have a relationship with you, He wants to call you His own, He wants you to enjoy the peace and joy He gives, He wants to show you His undying love, He wants you!!
Can't you see, He gave up everything to show you how much you mean, you deserve peace, you deserve happiness and this alone can be found in Jesus, it can be found in Him.
Come to Jesus today, if you are longing to have a relationship with God, you can open your hearts now and surrender your life to Him, welcome Him into you heart and believe in His love❤
Are you unsaved? Jesus loves you, He wants to make the best out of you, all you need to do is open your heart and welcome Jesus into your life🙏🏼

This morning, I woke up to God’s word reminding me of the importance of process, waiting, building and staying to learn what He is teaching me as my teacher.
We may come that point where we almost feel like the Lord is not there because what we have asked for is not forthcoming, you may even feel discouraged but it is settled that the Lord never forsakes His own, not even in the fire!
So what about you? Do you eventually see God as wicked or unjust because He is not answering all your prayers? Are you that Christian who quickly becomes faithless when you are not seeing results?
Job said “Even if you slay me”
Esther said “If I perish I perish”
The three Hebrews boys didn’t mind if God saves them or not and Daniel wasn’t scared of dying in the lion’s den.
How comes we are only for God when it’s favorable? What happens to the process of waiting and learning? Just like David and Joseph, God may take you through a process before the palace.
Just like Abraham, you may have to wait for years to enter into God’s promises for you. We must learn to love God beyond what He can do for us, follow Him because He is God not just for earthly desires!
If you are serving God because you want to get something from Him, one day you will wake up angry because you may not get all you desire but when you just love and trust Him, you may not get all you desire but you will get all that's best for you.
We serve God because its our life, we owe everything to Him. So just like the three Hebrew boys, Esther, Daniel, Apostle Paul etc.
It is not about how much God can give to them but how committed and sold out they are to God.
God wants us to come to that place where our confession becomes "If I perish I perish! I cannot choose my life or my desires above you Lord. I love you with everything".
This is the kind of growth God is calling us into🔥
Dear Christian,
The flesh is self exalting, it is self demanding! When the spirit says PRAY, the flesh will say you need to rest. When the spirit says BE CALM, the flesh will give you a hundred reasons not to! If you want to serve God, you must die to FLESH🙇
The flesh always wants to show how much it has achieved for God with small pride.
It wants to be able to show emotions, do whatever it wants without self control.
It doesn't even want corrections from God or the scriptures.
The flesh doesn't want to stay without food so if you want to satisfy it's desires, you cannot fast. You can stay for a whole busy day without eating but come and fast na, you will start shaking😂
I was having a conversation with one Unku who was showing some Interest me and I noticed how he was trying to mention God into everything he was saying, yes he wanted me to see how he knows God but I was not fast to conclude o!
I gave it time, I listened to all he had to say and I could see that he was trying to use the fact I was a child of God to make me feel comfortable but it wasn't so long before I could hear him condemn the standard of purity we are keep as believers!
Oh really, the same brother who sounded so God-loving could say there's no need to waiting until marriage if your family already knows about the relationship! God help us.
I was at a wedding yesterday, but I wasn't fast to say the God When anthem, not because it wasn't a beautiful wedding or because I don't anticipate marriage but because I know there is so much requirements for a GOD KIND OF MARRIAGE.
We all want to be loved by somebody's son or daughter, we want a beautiful house, we want to be loved and receive beautiful gifts from our partners. I want that too but wait fes, is that all?
What God has planned for us is way more than gifts, houses, flowers or even vacations. What God has planned is a home that will glorify Him.
