UNFAZED

The Head Line of Punch Newspaper, I think read “HARD TIMES FOR NIGERIANS”. The news reiterated the reason I don’t read newspapers (BAD NEWS!!). I would prefer to read the news on Bellanaija/Linda Ikeji/Stella Dimokorkus.  With a lot of things going on us around us; the exchange rate issue, (A sister can’t even shop on Asos for now), the level of corruption, insecurity, increase in price of goods etc. fear can easily creep in.  


We as children of God need to realize that we do not belong to this kingdom, WE BELONG TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN and things sure do operate differently. We need know that ONLY US can create and define our circumstances.  This is a level of assurance and confidence am still learning, which is KNOWING WHO BOLUWATIFE IS IN CHRIST. Moving away from negativity and saying to myself; that even in the midst of these economic conditions, I will still flourish. In the bible, people flourished during famine. It’s not like they had twenty heads, RIGHT?


I have decided to make it a conscious effort to speak God’s promises over my life; For God has said it so I can boldly say it (Hebrews 13:5-6). Here are some biblical promises we can prophesy over our lives daily:                                                           

a.       The Psalm 23


b.      He who is in me is greater than the one who is in the world. I am from God and I have overcome them. (1 John 4:4)


c.       Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for God will be with me wherever I go ( Joshua 1:9)


d.      His grace is sufficient for me and his power is made perfect in your weaknesses. ( 2 Corinthians 12:9-10)


e.      The Lord shall be a refuge for me, my stronghold in times of trouble. I know your name and I will trust in you ( Psalm 9:9-10)


f.        I will not fear for God is with me; I will not be dismayed, for he is my God; He will strengthen me and help me; He will uphold me with his righteous right hand (Isaiah 4:10)


g.      My God shall meet all my needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19)


h.      I will cast all my worries upon him, for I know he cares for me (1 Peter 5:7)


Remember, you are your own prophet.

WE ALL HAVE THOSE DAYS?

Here I am on my bed with tears flowing through my eyes and my spirit just keeps telling me to share. I am currently reading the book of Isaiah which is a bit tough for me and most times I have to use simpler versions to really understand what the book is about. Nearly gave up on the book of Isaiah but it became a challenge I wanted to overcome (Never ever have I finished the book of Isaiah). The book of Isaiah made me start thinking Is God weird? For example, the Assyrian King spoke about how God told him to rise up to kill the Israelites (boasted about it) and then the book tells us that God decided to punish him as he tells the Israelites he will punish their enemies. This post is not about the book of Isaiah but about why a lot of things happen to me or why God allowed them happen to me, perhaps I have to read the book of Job. I would like to share one thing I battled recently which was the spirit of depression. Last year, I attended a class reunion; it was really good...
