A Daily Dose of Treasure

 I was having my bible study today, and I came across this Chapter in the book of Isaiah... Tap on the image to listen to my current music playlist while reading What do you want to say? What do they want to hear? There is so much to tell the people of God, so much to tell His children, His flock but only one thing resides in my mind as I write these notes out. I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of good and not of evil to give you and expected end... (Isaiah 55:8) I came across this passage of the bible when I was studying today.  I had questions and needs that I really wanted God to answer and while looking to get the answers to these questions, I found the Lord giving me responsibility and answers for His flock, His children as well. “Comfort, comfort my people,”      says your God. 2  “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone      and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the  Lord  has punished her twice over      for all her sins.” Isaiah 40:1-2 The ve

My life and time in Taraba is something that will continually intrigue me... Right now, the thought in my mind is, "Father, why is my life so simple and just the basic routine?" It's a house to school, to library setting and while I'm not bothered by this moment because I know that I've had extremely active moments during my stay in Taraba, I just can't seem to think about this whole ordeal. I love the simplicity of this season and the growth that I know that I'm receiving in it. It's something that I can feel in my bones. The yearning for Abba seems to increase and I just want to gulp down and know more about Him. I love that He sees and finds me worthy of having a relationship with Him.... I'm sincerely grateful because I know that I'm not the best. I really cannot express or have the words to describe how much it feels to be loved by God, but one thing is certain, it's a thrilling and amazing feeling. Right now, as I write these words, I

  I’ve lived most of my life trying to fit into the story and just find my balance. While growing up, I realized that I liked my own space and the little things, but I still didn’t want to be left out of the crowd. Over time I grew to love those little parts of myself but recently, I had been looking forward to more... A relationship or maybe just being part of the happenings, but I just didn’t want to feel left out again.  Now that I think about it, it must have been the thoughts of others that I was letting into my mind and while I knew that my timings had not yet fallen in line, I wanted to rush it all into place and I was becoming anxious - the result of my little feats out of Abba’s hand every single time. It was affecting my mood and my reasoning. I was getting antsy, and my mind was beginning to conjure many other different thoughts. I was beginning to forget why I was in my current state and the woman I wanted to see myself become. With Abba, I wasn’t trying so hard to fit into

P.S_ Listen to Alakori by anendlessocean on repeat when reading🤗   When the Lord has made you his own, he does so till the very end... Father could not have picked me up at the very best time and in the very best of seasons. Clarity... Has God ever made any mistake? No, never! I had started out my journey with God out of a nudge from the creator Himself. It was certain that this whole ordeal was not a mistake. I remember that day as vivid as if it was yesterday. Abba had personally indulged me with a piece of Himself. I didn't get the message that was taught by the lady that day, but I was certain that the moment I stepped outside and made that declaration, I was not going back on this relationship with God. After this little ordeal I yearned for more, but I didn't know how to reach out.  I read my bible, prayed like I was told, and did the little I could do to fill this yearning that somewhat kept growing in my heart. I had moments where I wanted to let go and just be on my o

In my stay at the Nigeria Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF), I've been put under a series of trainings and subjected under a path of self-discovery. Staying at the family house has left me adapting to different life situations and occurrences and it is teaching me new things everyday. One of the very few things of which is having an accommodating heart for the different people around me while still standing by my principles. There's this habit of shuffling rooms that happens from time to time when new batches come in and old ones go out. So far, this is my 3rd time being shuffled and it has left my usually calm being ruffled. My current roommates are an amazing bunch, don't get me wrong but for someone who has led a quiet and simple life somewhat, this is not easy for me. My current roommates are what I'd consider a more expressive bunch and sometimes, it feels like we're worlds apart. My previous roommate and sister, Gem, clicked with me right from the start, eve

 Understanding... How would you feel if someone took what belonged to you, let's say a diamond, without your knowledge? Crazy question, right? Of course you'd be furious! Why would this person take what was mine?  How dare he/she? This person obviously knows that this precious jewel, this beautiful possession is mine and still has the audacity to take it!  But here's a simple truth, you didn't even know it was yours to begin with and so, all of the drama wouldn't hold water, and most definitely would not be taking place. Now here's the unique thing. The scenario above depicts how we truly are today! We basically do not know what we have! We do not know essentially whom we are. We walk around with our golds in our pockets without a care in the world because we do not know the value of what we have in us and even without our knowledge, this priceless possession is swiped from us right under our noses and we're left with nothing but a shadow of the glory and po
