SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART: Your assignment isn't communal

I know you want support 24/7. I want it too. I want to wake up in the morning to encouraging text messages and prayers and surprise massages and food specially made by friends. Mind you, we get these things
But on some days, you'll sound and feel like a crazy person because you actually look like a crazy person. You'll believe things that an average person can't comprehend (mind you they're not average because they're small minded but because they carry a different vision)
You'll set goals that will look crazy. You'll be bent on achieving thing that no one else comprehend.

We applaud Abraham yeah? But imagine Abraham was your son and he's going to a city "the Lord will YET show him"

Abram, you mean God hasn't shown you yet and you're going?
Imagine that Lot was your son? You'll be tempted to slap the craze out of him.

There are places in your call where you have to go alone. With tears in your eyes and a cracked voice and a failing heart you'll still stay! These places come at every phase in our walk
Staying in Your call is not something that sounds amazing during testimonies, it's a painful and teary thing in the journey but that's where the glory is born.

Don't miss out on this series #Stayinginyourcall at anchor.fm/Ministerliza every Friday in this month

SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART: abuse has an environment.

Abuse thrives on power and ignorance.

A house help feels incapacitated because he/she thinks of their job and get into the victim mindset and the boss gets into the power role of do it or you lose your job.

#AdultingAndStuff
A child is left at the mercy of an older person and the adult leverages the child's ignorance to finger them or rape them even.

See, this is a power game every time.

Seniority & Superiority is power (factor in African upbringing)
Money is power
Knowledge is power
Being in public and having public approval is a kind of power too.

When we start teaching our children about sex, we emPOWER them.

When we decide to preserve ourselves and get into the superior role in our lives, we get emPOWERED.

SNIPPETS FROM MY HEART: You're important in the scheme of things.

I know this sounds cliché but it's got to be true. The bible speaks of an army that neither jostles nor break ranks.

If you've ever walked for pageantry or ran a race on track or even participated
In a march past, see how frustrating it is when your neighbour leaves their lane and bump into you or worse, abandon their duty post to content yours with you? That's how frustrating it is when you abdicate your throne because you think you don't count.
If all you did was shine shields for men at war, you absence would be felt.

That tiny thing you think you bring to the table counts. Anna was an intercessor and she counted. It always counts.
You don't have to be on the stage.
