Chosen For Greatness

P.S_ Listen to Alakori by anendlessocean on repeat when readingšŸ¤— 


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 own, but did Abba let me?

Nope, He didn't!

He seemed to be drawing me closer to Himself. 

Position after position, task after task kept me in His presence and taking note of my inconsistencies and showed me on multiple situations that I needed this God in my life, or I would have a whole lot of loopholes in my being.

Abba seemed to be working with me and my little efforts in building this relationship and I could see that I had crossed a threshold in my walk with God, but I still definitely had a lot to learn about God and myself in this journey.

The day had come where I knew that I could do more, I should be more!

There was anger and pain, and a whole lot of other feelings that I just couldn't comprehend but I knew that I wanted answer and that my journalling about it was not giving me answers.

The Climax...

There was a hunger for fellowship that I didn't have so far in this journey with Abba.

I knew that there were other children of God out there, but my environment never really encouraged consistent fellowship and so far, I had been walking most of my journey on the little knowledge that Abba had given me.

I had times where I doubted His voice, but I still tried my best to yield when I was certain that heard from Him.

One of the promises Abba had made to me was that He would give me a fellowship and show me that I wasn't the only one on this journey with Him. Of course, there were others that I could see around me, but I was sure that I needed a different perspective, I needed to see life from another point of view.

Abba wasn't joking!

He knows the times and seasons and when the time was right, He led me into the service year.

Others have a lot of things that they're gaining during their NYSC service year but for me, this season is one of separation. Abba has chosen this season bring me to a clearer understanding of Himself. 

I'll definitely share more on this journey with you but first...

I know now that I have been chosen to liberate His children just like He's doing for me through the people that I have met, the fellowship that I have encountered.


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...

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...

The Journey Thus Far

I remember when I just started out my Christian journey. It was the toughest thing ever for me.  I the basic knowledge of who God was, at least I thought I did. I only knew what our teens teacher had taught us, "Read your bible, pray every day!" At least that was the most basic thing that I could remember thus far. My walk with God remained mundane up until 2022 - The year I became the teens president and had my basic foundation teachers leave the Church for greater things ahead. I had little to no knowledge of what to do other than the words that they had told me, "Ask God!" You could imagine my surprise when I heard those words.  Ask who? I could barely ask a teacher a question in class and now you want me to ask who? I don't even hear him to begin with. But that was it... That was the answer I had been given when I needed help, and that was just what I had done. Not long after, I came in contact with social media Christian influencers and content creators in ...
