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 the likes of Ezinne Zara, Pastor Mildred and Kinsley Okonkwo, and many other foreign content creators. Let's just say that seeing people, young people who loved God and were not ashamed of it was the most inspiring thing to me.


Ezinne Zara had a long-lasting effect on my growth, and I tried to mimic most of what she had done and tried to relate my walk with God to hers. I learnt a lot from listening to all of these people and from studying the word of God. Let's not forget the most important of them all, the Holy Spirit.

All that I did, all of my growth was seen by the help of the Holy Spirit who had led me to these persons and who had taught me a lot through the word.

One basic instruction the Holy Spirit had given me was to start journaling - something that I had seen Ezinne do and had taken it to a whole other level when I started a 30 day J.E.S.U.S Experience on journaling and in those moments, I had studied, prayed, praised, and journaled. For me, it was the absolute best experience. Journaling became my way of communicating with God, it still is.

What am I trying to say?

All that I am today and will be tomorrow was possible because there were men and women who chose to dedicate their lives to God, love up on Him, and share their love with others and I was part of those others.

My life today is nothing without the help of the Lord and I'm not ashamed to say it. From my skills to my gifts, to my current state of mind, it was improved by the word and the people who the Lord has used to be a blessing to my life.

If these people, no matter how small could share their stories and touch my life, why can't or shouldn't I do the same?

You are where you are because someone chose to be dedicated, someone chose to make sacrifices that inspired you and while I'm being optimistic, let me be realistic as well. Some of the setbacks we've experienced in life has also been because of the effect or experiences we've had with others but here's the turning point!

What are you going to do about it?

How are you going to use these experiences to influence others? Is it going to be negative or positive. Joyce Meyer is my literal go-to for a life that has made a difference. You can check out her story if you don't know it.

What impact will you make with your life?


P.S. Not the regular writeup!

Sincerely,

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...
