APPRECIATING GOD’S FAITHFULNESS 

Today’s article is dedicated to appreciating God for my 25 years in marriage. Precisely 3rd of June 1995, I got married. It hasn’t been hitch free. It has been full of good times and otherwise but in  everything I give God thanks. Everybody goes through the good, the bad and the ugly. It’s now dependent on the individual to know which replay button to press. Whichever one that is chosen, if we look deeply, we will see God in it. It’s only by His mercy that we’re not consumed. I choose to stand on what Apostle Paul said in Phil 4:8 that we should think on the things that are pure, lovely and of good report. Everything we think about has a way of injecting strength/weakness or joy/unhappiness in us. Every phase has its own challenge. Looking back today, I can only thank God for His faithfulness and grace that is always sufficient.

Tomorrow by God’s grace I’ll be 50years. If it had not been for the Lord who was on my side I can’t be putting pen on paper. The journey is still far if Jesus tarries, and there are no worries because I know who holds my hand. I appreciate my husband, Apostle Tony Olukoyede, the wonderful children that God has given me and the awesome people He has surrounded me with. I’m truly blessed. I put a challenge to you as the first half of this year comes to an end, to appreciate one person per day. Let them know they mean a lot to you. I saw this Appreciation challenge somewhere and it struck a chord in me. The greatest and simplest gift you can give is appreciation. I appreciate everyone reading this piece. You matter to me. Love you all.

TIME TO PRAY

-
There’s never a time to pray as this. We have been praying and it is obvious that our prayer is working for us. However, we need to intensify our prayer. No wonder Jesus said “men always ought to pray and not to faint.” We can not afford to fold our hands or faint    at a time as this, with the development all over the world. If we faint in the days of adversity, our strength is small.  IF WE DON’T PRAY, WE BECOME A PREY.  If we are willing to pray, there’s a God that is willing to answer. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV [14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. In the place of prayer, direction is given, help is secured and transformation takes place. Prayer is giving God permission to intervene in the affairs of men. You will agree with me that we need to give God permission to move in our lives ...

OVERCOMING FEAR

-
OVERCOMING FEAR Fear is a trick of the enemy to keep you oppressed, suppressed and depressed. You are probably afraid because of what you have seen or heard, something you believe you can’t handle. Have you ever asked yourself, why am I afraid? Assuming you have a project to deliver    and you don’t have the capital to execute it before the dateline, you get apprehensive and lose your sleep because a lifetime opportunity is about to slip off. But when you know a Bank will handle it, you go to sleep because your fear is taken care of. You have a Father who is not only greater than the Bank but owns the whole world (Psalm 24:1) and gives you access to Himself 24/7. He’s always ready to carry your burden if you bring them to Him. So why are you afraid/agitated? The issue with most of us is that we weigh our issues with our strength. We look    at our capacity or capability instead of looking at the capability of God. This reminds me of a story in the Bible in 1Samuel...

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

-
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS We are all blessed one way or the other. I see relationship as one of those blessedness. It’s important to God so it is very important to me. Some people will come your way for a short period and some for long periods almost a life time. When they go down memory lane in another ten years, would they be grateful they met you or otherwise? It is possible to be good and do a wrong thing that wipes out the good due to the extent of hurt it brings. I know there are people that you’re nice to that will forget and hold on to little wrong. There’s nothing you can do about that, just be good. Forgive, forgive and forgive. Applaud people when you can. Encourage them, help them, inspire them, appreciate them, love them, check up on them. These things have a way of coming back to you cos they are seeds. Relationships are resources, you may need to draw from, some time or maybe your children. You definitely will need people at every phase of your life. Don’t thin...
