Welcome To 2023 (My Season of Wonders)

Happy new year!

Welcome to the first chapter of a Daily Dose of Treasure in 2023.

A lot happened in 2022, and there's a lot to be grateful for.

I got to experience moments that brought me closer to family and friends, and also, let's not forget incidents that pushed me further away from others.

I'm praying and declaring that this Year brings greater blessings.

I look forward to seeing a greater part of myself.

Through the year 2022, I got to figure out more of my self and learn to love myself in my strengths and weaknesses.

I got to check out acheivements from my list... A large aspect of my goals were ticked off even if they weren't earth quacking goals (notwithstanding, every acheivement is worth celebrating whether big or small).

Prayers were answered and successes were made.

Overall, I got to experience a closer relationship with Father and let me say, it has been an amazing time.

I got to learn prayer, trust, discipline, and so much more. I'm still looking forward to what Father is set to do in my littpe moments.

Looking Forward to 2023 Goals and Plans?

We all are looking forward to what 2023 has in store for us and it's thrilling how the new year just so happened to be on a Sunday because this is just in par with something I learnt recently.

When beginning a new stage or season, taking it to God first is a solid foundation to the rest of the year.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be like that!" Someone might say but no matter how many plans and goals you have, if God is not in support of it, it will never be as fulfilling as you're hoping for.

In the story of David, there were key pointa that he took that really sank in deep for me.

If you look into 1 Samuel you notice that before King Saul started his pursuit against David, three major factors were put in place;

1. David went to the Temple of God.

2. He asked for Bread.

3. He asked for Weapon.

Ordinary right?

Here's a simple answer I received;

David was so cautious of the power of God that he went to seek (ask) God's intervention.

The 'Bread' and 'Weapon' represents 'sustainance' and 'preservation' respectively.

He was quick to ask God for bread (sustainance) for the journey ahead and weapon (Preservation/protection) from his enemies on this said journey.

That is what we should do in this season of a new year.

Even in situations where we have goals and ideas, it is best to go to God andask that he be put in front of that Journey.

My prayer is that we receive the good things this season and year offers us.

God loves you 😌

For the moments when you feel stuck!

I started this year with a lot of enthusiasm... I remained expectant for the best. I had plans that I wanted to accomplish, and I wasn't going to miss it. As time went on, things started going off track, and I wasn't having it. I tried all that I could to keep everything in order, but the more I tried, the more I fell apart. I was losing myself and my focus. I was always feeling guilty about things that I did and didn't do. At the end, I broke down. I thought that I just needed to be strong, but I realised that I needed a mind shift, and this shift occurred in the most unique way ever. I had to learn by letting go. Strength wasn't the only thing that mattered to me at this moment, and I realise that now. This write-up isn't to confuse or give you a reason to pity me but to remind you that in moments where you think that all you'll need is your strength and willpower, Abba is calling you to depend on him more. While I had my plans, and of course planning is go...

Comfort My People, Cry Out To My Flock

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 pu...

Starting All Over Again

7:44pm Saturday, 16th, November 2024. It's been a long while since I've been up in this space. I just read a post from a few months back and it made me realize that I really miss writing. It's been like what? A few months? A year maybe without consistently writing on the blog. In these few months that have passed though, I have grown, and I am learning constantly to be patient with myself. I've had time to read, develop, and basically build on myself. One thing is certain though, I still have a lot to learn, and this is only the beginning of my life's journey... Okay, okay... I think I've somewhat started it or maybe gone through a mock phase of life's journey. Hmmm... I've experienced growth, and I can see what the Lord is doing in my life. I see how intentional God is about each and every one of his children. Just a head's up to all old and new readers, there's a lot of God in my writeups and I'm unapologetic about it. I love the Lord s...
