Switching things up

 I have decided to switch things up. After all the experiences I have had in my life, it would not be fair to let my human intelligence take credit for my survival. I have decided to use this platform to give God all the glory for everything He has done for me. My school life was not easy, but He helped me through it. I had a revelation about this. 

Let me share this. There is a WhatsApp group that I am in, it's called Gospel of Grace Ministry. It is a group where we share the word of God, pray together, and seek God together. There are currently members in the group. We drew up a roster to allocate one member to one day of the week. On that day, one member is responsible for making sure that we receive a devotional before that day ends, even if it does not come from that particular member. That member is responsible for making sure that we receive the word of God on that day.

Tuesday is my day. My theme for today's devotional was the story of Nehemiah. We look at how people were plotting and scheming against him for the initiation and execution of the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. People were angry with him for doing that. None of the tricks that they tried passed because Nehemiah had God on his side. 

Sometimes in our lives, when we try to rebuild or build something, the enemy tries to make us afraid, by having people scheme and plotting against us. This is where we have to exercise focus, and keep in mind that God is on our side. 

If you've been following my blog, i appreciate it. Please note that me switching things up is a way to give God glory and also keep myself accountable in my relationship with him. Aiming to actively seek his face on a daily basis. And I hope that I can encourage and motivate my readers to do the same. Don't forget to engage, follow share and watch out for my next post...

I love you, but Jesus loves you more.

A moment of confusion: story of my life

 Today I would like to talk about something that I have been thinking a lot about lately. This involves someone of the opposite gender. Ever since I have given my life to Christ and actively sought Him, my perspective on romantic relationships has shifted drastically. Here is the story, grab a chair, it's quite long... Let me give the guy the name K. K and I have known each other for about 5 years now. We tried something back when I was in high school. It wasn't really a relationship, but at that time, it was the closest I had to a relationship. This was because was unavailable most of the time because of my strict parents and also because we lived far apart, and could only see each other whenever I got a chance to go to town, which was not very often. So most of our relationship was on the phone, basically, our relationship deepened on the phone.  Things were going smoothly until I lost my phone at school, we didn't communicate for about 3-4 months. I could only contact hi

Happy New Week

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today is day 10/365 of blogging everyday for a year. My life is so boring, I have no idea what I will be blogging about in the next 355 days, but please bear with me, because God is good.  Remember the things I said I am looking forward to in this new month ?, they're currently stagnant. But I have a small amount of hope that things wiI start moving. I haven't left the house since this month started. It's been quite a while since I stepped out of the house, the idea of it kinda scares me now.  I am dedicating more time to reading the Bible and spending time with God, and this 'boring' phase in my life is exactly what I need to focus on myself and my relationship with God. As I mentioned some time ago, I am taking a break from social media(Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), for some time. I have made an exception with YouTube, I will only allow myself 3 videos a week max. This break is going to help me reduce external voices and/or influence in my

Being a student/ learner

 What does it mean to be a student? Is it only going to school and sitting in class? Let me tell you what I think. Being a student is about being teachable and willing to learn new things or to learn old things differently. I believe an old dog can be taught new tricks, no one is ever too old to learn anything. At the end of the day, life is the greatest teacher. So as long as you're still alive, make every day an opportunity to learn something new. There was a point in my life where I felt like everything was going south, I kept asking myself "Why is this happening to me ?" and someone said to me "The question you should be asking is "What can I learn from this ?" That response forever altered my thought pattern and my overall perception of life. This helped me to get out of the victim mindset and actually learn from different situations. The same applies in school if you fail a grade, you will find yourself repeating another year in the same class, with d
