A simple “I’m sorry” might be the key to your peace of mind! A Message I Didn’t Plan to Write This might be the fastest blog I’ve ever written—meaning it’s urgent. Someone out there needs this now . This message was sparked by a teaching from one of the teachers who helped ignite my hunger for God. After listening to him, I started reading my Bible front to back—no lie. And what he said about apologizing hit deep. You’re Stuck Because You Won’t Say Sorry Let’s be honest. As believers, we sometimes hurt people. And yes, we run to God, we repent, we cry out to God… but sometimes, God wants more. Sometimes, God will convict you to apologize to the actual person —face to face, voice to voice, heart to heart. You might say: “But Lord, I already repented to You!” “It’s been years—I’ve moved on! They’ve  probably moved on too” “What’s the point now?” Valid questions. I’ve asked them too. But here’s the thing: seeking forgiveness and reconciliation are spiritual protocols! And sometimes, you need to apologize —not for closure, not for validation, but because it’s the right thing to do . It’s Not so Hard To Say! Sometimes, A Verbal Apology Is Required Let me tell you what this teacher shared: When he gave his life to Christ, the Holy Spirit prompted him to go back and apologize to several women he had dated and wronged—some years ago. He didn’t want to. He wrestled with the shame. But he couldn’t ignore the conviction. So, one by one, he apologized. Some responses were gracious. I imagine Some were cold. And one? One woman cursed him out ! But he obeyed God anyway. And after that last apology, he said he felt like a spiritual weight lifted off his shoulders. That’s the power of obedience. The freedom that follows humility. The Spiritual Weight of Unspoken Sorrys God may be pressing your heart to apologize to someone you’ve hurt. And you’ve been dodging the thought. You’re hoping the conviction will fade. This is your confirmation: Don’t ignore the Holy Spirit. That apology may be the very thing unlocking the peace you’ve been praying for. Whether they forgive you or not, do the right thing . Don’t use a middleman. Don’t hide behind a text. Man up. Woman up. Reach out. The apology must come from the heart. My Personal Story When I began truly walking with God, I repented for a lot of my past. But there was one person the Holy Spirit wouldn’t let me forget. Someone I hurt badly over five years ago. I resisted at first—shame had a tight grip on me. But God kept pressing. The truth? I felt ashamed I didn’t want to face the part of me that caused that kind of pain. But God didn’t care about my feelings—He cared about my character and doing what was righteous! So I gathered the courage. I reached out. I apologized. And yes—I cried. To my surprise, she forgave me, hugged me, and our friendship was restored. But let me be clear: restoration is not the goal—obedience is. Even if nothing is restored when you apologize, your heart is realigned with God’s righteousness. That moment crushed my pride. It reminded me that even when time has passed, wrong is still wrong. Pride Keeps Us in Bondage Pride will have you pretending you’re “fine” while silently suffering. Pride will whisper, “It’s too late.” But God is whispering, “It’s time to make it right.” God Cares About Reconciliation Matthew 5:23–24 (NKJV):y “If you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there… First be reconciled to your brother.” → God values reconciliation even before worship. That’s how serious apologizing is. A Simple Apology Can Change Everything Let this sink in: • A simple apology can break limitations. • A simple apology can be the deliverance you need. • A simple apology might save your future. • A simple apology can set your spirit free. Yes, we pray. Yes, we fast. But some breakthroughs require action. And sometimes, that action is as simple—and as hard—as saying sorry. Sometimes, obedience looks like an uncomfortable conversation . Final Word: Apologize Even If It Costs You If the Holy Spirit is convicting you to apologize, don’t delay. Don’t overthink it. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Just obey. Whether they hug you or curse you out— do it anyway. Whether they accept it or reject it— do it anyway. Why? Because God told you to . Because freedom is on the other side of obedience . Because pride should never have the final say . “Even if they don’t receive it, you’re doing what’s right by God.” Let This Be Your Prayer Today “Lord, give me the humility and courage to apologize where I need to. Help me obey You even when it’s uncomfortable. Break every spirit of pride in me!" If This Convicted You… Don’t wait. Don’t delay. Apologize and be free. You can’t move forward until you make things right. 🎵🎶 MUSIC TIME 🎵🎶 🎵🎶 Marcus Rogers – “Turf” This one right here? Melody meets warfare! A groove that makes you nod your head while stomping on the enemy’s lies. The beat hits, but those lyrics! 🎵🎶 J udikay – “Imegi” This song is a whole heart posture. “In all things, I will rejoice…” It’s that gentle reminder to praise Him when it’s good, bad, or silent. A true worship anthem for the storm and the sunshine.

So, you’ve given your life or rededicated your life to Christ—amazing! But now what? Outside of going to church on Sundays, what does your new life in Christ actually look like? I genuinely believe there is a gap between salvation and the journey of sanctification and discipleship—and because of this, many believers get stuck. They pray the sinner’s prayer, maybe even feel the presence of God, but then… life goes back to normal. Outside of attending church, many don’t know what to do next. And because of this, the body of Christ suffers. No real transformation. No clear next steps. And that’s a problem because the whole purpose of salvation is not just to believe in Jesus but to be transformed by Him. The truth is, salvation is just the beginning! Today, we’re going to bridge that gap and talk about what happens after salvation— which are sanctification and discipleship . These two stages happen simultaneously, and if we don’t emphasize them enough (or model them well), many believers will never fully experience what it means to follow Christ; leaving many lost, stagnant, or even drifting away. Ever wonder what sanctification and discipleship are all about? Let’s break down these sacred concepts in plain language. Then we’ll explore how living them out can transform your everyday life—specifically, which parts of your life start to change as you grow in Christ. Sanctification: The Process of Becoming Like Christ Sanctification is the process of purification, where God renews your mind, heals you, and sets you apart from the world. This is where transformation happens—you start unlearning worldly ways and relearning God’s ways. This is where the Holy Spirit starts working in you. It’s a season of: ✔ Renewing your mind ✔ Healing from past wounds ✔ Letting go of sinful habits ✔ Learning holiness and righteousness ✔ Aligning your thoughts, desires, and lifestyle with God’s standards ⚠️ If you skip this stage, you risk becoming lukewarm—stuck in a cycle of believing in God but never actually living for Him. You will go through the motions of church but never truly grow. You will miss out on the lifestyle, habits, and disciplines needed to walk and stay with God. Discipleship: Spiritual Mentorship If sanctification is the “inner work,” discipleship is the “relational work.” I like to call discipleship “spiritual mentorship.” It’s when God aligns you with someone more mature in their faith to help you grow. Your discipler doesn’t replace God but points you back to His Word. They will help guide you, sharpen you, and teach you how to walk with Christ. They’re not just teachers—they’re brothers and sisters in Christ, walking alongside you. A true discipler will: ✔ Point you back to the Word of God ✔ Help you navigate early sanctification season ✔ Share sermons, books, and resources to strengthen you ✔ Correct and challenge you ✔ Meet with you regularly (this is NOT a once-a-month thing!) 📌 If you only check in once a month, you will struggle. It’s a relationship that requires regular connection and accountability. Discipleship LOVE Look at Paul & Timothy or Jesus & the Twelve Disciples—discipleship is intentional and consistent. You need people who will walk this journey with you, not just cheer from the sidelines. A. Prayer & Bible Study: Your Daily Non-Negotiables Let’s be honest—most of us have struggled with inconsistency in our prayer and Bible study. We pray one day, forget the next, and then wonder why we feel distant from God. But if you truly want to grow, your prayer life and time in the Word must change for the better. It’s about discipline. Just like you schedule time for work, school, or the gym, you need to set a dedicated time for prayer and Bible study—and stick to it. 1. Prayer: The Lifeline of Your Spirit Prayer is not just something you do when you’re in trouble; it’s your daily connection with God. If you only talk to Him when you need something, you’re missing out on the depth of a real relationship. Set a daily prayer time. Maybe an hour at 6 AM. Whatever works for you—just make it a habit. There will be days when you don’t feel like praying. Pray anyway. Your walk with God is not based on emotions; it’s based on commitment. Some days will feel dry, but just like working out at the gym, consistency builds strength (AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FEEL EVERY WORKOUT). 2. Bible Study: Feeding Your Spirit Here’s a truth bomb: You cannot know God without reading His Word. If you don’t know the Word, you won’t know how to pray effectively. God responds to His Word, not just our emotions. He said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away” (Matthew 24:35). When you pray using Scripture, you’re aligning your requests with His will—and that’s when you start seeing real results. Set a Bible reading schedule. Maybe you read 3 chapters a day. Maybe you study for 30 minutes every morning. The key is consistency. Think of the Bible as spiritual food. Just like you need breakfast, lunch, and dinner to function physically, your spirit needs the Word of God to thrive. If you miss meals daily, you feel weak. If you neglect the Word, your spirit becomes weak and vulnerable. 3. Stay Immersed in the Word One easy way to build your faith is to constantly surround yourself with the Word: ✅ Play Bible verses in the background while you work or sleep ✅ Listen to sermons and worship music that edifies your spirit ✅ Meditate on Scripture throughout your day Faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17), so keep feeding your spirit daily. Spiritual growth is a journey. At first, it’s like lifting light weights, but as you stay faithful to prayer and the Word of God, your strength increases. You’ll handle deeper revelations, overcome temptation, and experience true transformation. 👣 Stay tuned for Part 2: The Shift, The Circle, and the Wilderness In Part 2, we dive into: ➡️ How your habits and desires begin to change ➡️ How sanctification shifts your friendships ➡️ Why the wilderness season is NECESSARY ➡️ And how all of this shapes the believer God has called you to become 👉 Let’s go deeper. 🎶 MUSIC TIME  🎶 🎶 First up: Nathaniel Bassey – “Hungry for You” This song is literally the cry of my heart right now. So simple, so pure. That line “I want to know You more than I’ve ever known You” —man, it hits deep. It’s that real, raw, intimate kind of worship. You can feel  the hunger for God in every word. We can always  go deeper with Him. 🎶 TY Bello, Greatman Takit & Theophilus Sunday – “Heaven Has Come” All I’m gonna say is… just listen. No distractions. Let the lyrics sink in and move your heart. It’s beautiful, powerful, and straight-up heavenly.

🔥 Welcome Back! Let’s Keep Building the Bridge… In Part 1 , we talked about what happens after  you give your life to Christ—because salvation isn’t the finish line, it’s the starting point . We unpacked the sacred (and often skipped) steps of sanctification  and discipleship . We also hit on two essentials that can’t be treated like options: prayer and Bible study Now in Part 2, we’re going deeper. It’s time to talk about the real-life shifts that start happening as you walk with Christ— ➡️ Your habits ➡️ Your friendships ➡️ Your desires ➡️ And yes… your wilderness season 🔥 Get ready. Because this is where the transformation gets personal Habits & Desires: The Shift You Can’t Ignore One of the biggest signs that you’re truly growing in Christ is your convictions start changing. Worldly things you once enjoyed? They don’t hit the same anymore. The sin you used to tolerate? You can’t stomach them now. MUST CHANGE 1. Lifestyle Choices: The Holy Spirit Will Change Your Appetite Before I fully surrendered to God, I didn’t see anything wrong with certain things. Clubbing? No problem. Fornication? Normal. Secular music with explicit lyrics? Just a vibe. But the deeper I went with Christ, the more my appetite changed. Suddenly, the things I used to enjoy started feeling off. It wasn’t because someone gave me a list of “Christian rules”—it was because the Holy Spirit was rewiring my desires. The club didn’t excite me anymore. Fornication wasn’t an option—I wanted to honor God with my body. My speech cleaned up without me forcing it. The music I used to love started to sound like noise. The UNGODLY TV shows I binged before? Couldn’t watch them anymore. 🕊️ This is what sanctification does. It’s not about following religious rules—it’s about God changing your heart from the inside out. 2. Habits: You Will Develop New Rhythms As my desires changed, my daily habits followed: ✅ Serving Others – I felt led to give to the poor, help those in need ✅ Edifying Content – I replaced empty entertainment with sermons, books, CLEAN entertainment and teachings that strengthened my faith ✅ Fellowship & Accountability – I made time for Bible studies, discipleship, and godly conversations This shift didn’t happen overnight, but as I stayed in prayer and the Word, I saw real change. WE NEED IT IN THIS PROCESS 3. Desires: You Will Crave Holiness Holiness isn’t just about what you stop doing; it’s about what you start craving. I didn’t just lose interest in sin—I developed a deep desire to please God. My anthem became: “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.” (Philippians 2:13) It wasn’t about me trying to be “better”—it was about God literally giving me new desires. I didn’t want to just “be a Christian.” I wanted to live holy. I wanted to be set apart (2 Corinthians 6:17). If your life still looks exactly like the world, something is off. People should see the fruit of Christ in you. Not perfection, but evidence of transformation. 📍If the things of this world still excite you more than the things of God, it’s time for a heart check. Friendships: Who You Walk With Determines Where You Go This one is heavy. It’s also one of the hardest shifts in your walk with God. When you start walking in sanctification, your friendships will change. Not because you suddenly think you’re better than anyone, but because who you surround yourself with will either fuel your fire for God—or put it out. 1. Your Friends Might Not Be Bad—But Are They Good for You? Let’s be real—many of us still have worldly friends. And just because they’re worldly doesn’t mean they’re bad people. We were once in their shoes too. But here’s the reality check: If you’re trying to walk in purity, but your friends are always talking about who they’re messing around with, getting drunk, and using foul language—how long before it starts influencing you? Even if they’re not doing the obvious sins, they might have mindsets and beliefs that contradict God’s Word. That’s just as dangerous! (REMEBER AN UNSURRENDERED FRIEND IS AS DANGEROUS AS AN OUTRIGHT ENEMY) If they constantly give you advice that pulls you away from biblical truth, they’re affecting you more than you think. 2. The Power of Influence—You’re Not as Strong as You Think I used to believe I was strong enough to stay around certain people and not be affected. But when I look back, I realize my biggest spiritual growth happened when I separated from certain connections. Whether we like it or not, we are influenced by the people we talk to, listen to, and spend time with. Even a little exposure can plant the wrong seeds. And those seeds grow. 🚫 You cannot deceive yourself into thinking you can be around just anybody in this season. If they aren’t walking in the same direction, you will fall or drift fast. 3. Think of This Like Surgery—You Need a Consecration Season If you had major surgery, would you just go anywhere and be around anyone? No! You’d protect your healing process, follow doctor’s instructions, and only allow people around you who are helping your recovery. Your sanctification season is the same. It ’s not about isolating yourself, but about protecting your spiritual growth. Anyone who isn’t drawing you closer to God needs to go—at least for this season. And yes, it will be hard. You’ll miss them. You’ll feel alone. But let me tell you something… When You Get Serious, God Sends Destiny Connections When I showed God that I was serious about following Him, He started connecting me with people who were aligned with my purpose. People who were hungry for God, disciplined in their walk, and committed to holiness. They became iron sharpening iron (Proverbs 27:17). We might have been at different stages in our walk, but we pushed each other toward Christ. Some of you are waiting for your destiny connections, but they haven’t found you yet because you’re still tied to the wrong crowd. God is waiting for you to let go of what’s holding you back so He can position you where you belong. 4. Your Transformation Can Be Someone’s Testimony Here’s the beautiful part: when you fully surrender to God, your life becomes a testimony. I’ve seen people separate from their old circles, grow in Christ, and later bring some of their old friends to Jesus—not by force, but by the undeniable change in their life. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16) People are watching you. Some of them don’t need a sermon—they need to see proof that God is real. And your transformation might be what makes them believe. This is a tough area. We love our friends. But Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me” (Matthew 16:24). 📌 If someone isn’t helping you bear good fruit in this season, they can’t go with you. The Wilderness Season: When God Pulls You Aside to Transform You Every believer, at some point, MUST go through a wilderness season—a time of pruning ✂️, refining 🔥, and transformation. It ’s that awkward in-between stage where you feel like God has separated you from everything you once knew. It’s not isolation—it’s separation. God isn’t punishing you; He’s preparing you. You’ve been in the world for a while, soaking in its ways, its mindset, its desires. Now, the Lord is taking His time to undo, unlearn, and rebuild you in His image 🕊️. ⏳ How Long Will It Take? I get this question a lot. “How long does the sanctification and discipleship process take?” For some, it takes six months 📅. For others, a year or two ⏳. Honestly? It depends on how much of the world is still in you that God needs to strip away. The more you surrender, the faster He can work. But don’t rush the process—if you step out of it too soon, you’ll be half-baked , lacking power ⚡, wisdom 📖, and true transformation. And when the enemy comes, you’ll be easily shaken . 🚀 This is a Lifetime Journey Sanctification and discipleship never truly end—they just evolve. Yes, the beginning season is intense, but growth in Christ is lifelong. You will always be learning, refining, and being transformed by the HOLY SPIRIT. Don’t Forget: ✔ Moses had 40 years in the desert ✔ Joseph had years in prison before promotion ✔ Jesus spent time alone before starting His ministry 💡 Be Intentional—This is Not a Freestyle Walk You don’t just wing it when it comes to marriage 💍, career 💼, or school 🎓. You make intentional efforts to succeed in those areas. Why should your walk with God be any different? 🤔 If you approach your spiritual growth casually, you’ll stay stuck, get stagnant, or fall back. Final Thought: Be Patient with the Process “If God was patient with us during our rebellion, why can’t we be patient with Him during our renewal?” Trust the process . Stay in the fire 🔥 until God fully refines you. When you finally step out of the wilderness, you won’t just be changed—you will be the message you preach! 🎶 MUSIC TIME🎶 “Gang Worship” – A bold declaration that worship is a lifestyle, not just a Sunday routine! “Thank You” – A reminder to pause and give God the praise He deserves! 🙏🏽

Today, I want to talk about something heavy on my heart — and honestly, something I believe a lot of people need to hear before it’s too late. Because if we don’t understand this truth, we could be inviting a lot of unnecessary heartache, judgment, and consequences into our lives. Be careful how you treat people. Not just because it’s nice. Not because you want good karma. But because God is watching. And what you sow, you will surely reap. This isn’t just a sweet “be kind” quote you stick on your fridge. This is a serious Kingdom principle with real, spiritual consequences. And ignoring it could cost you more than you think. I Believe in Sowing Good Seeds (Even When It’s Hard) I’ve always tried to treat people with care — not because I’m perfect (believe me, I’m not), but because I believe the Golden Rule still shines: “And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.” — Luke 6:31 (NKJV) Now, let me be real — have I hurt people before? Yes. Have I had to humble myself, apologize, and ask forgiveness? Many times. But here’s the key — when my fault is brought to my attention, I’m quick to: • Repent, • Apologize (even if it humbles my pride), • And make it right. Because pride might feel good for a moment, but it will cost you everything in the long run. The Dangerous Pattern I’ve Noticed There’s a pattern that deeply disturbs me: People say cruel, harmful things in anger They wound others with sharp tongues and hard hearts. Then… they never apologize. They pop up months or years later, acting brand new, acting like nothing ever happened. Like they didn’t leave scars behind. Let me lovingly but boldly say this: God will not be mocked. Whatever you sow, you will reap. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 (NKJV) You can’t wish it away. You can’t ignore it away. You can’t fake-spiritual your way out of it. Unrepented wickedness will find you — if not in your own life, then in your bloodline. God’s Word is clear — you can’t sow wickedness and expect blessings to bloom. No amount of pretending will erase what was sown until there is true repentance. God’s Mercy… And Why I Have a Love-Hate Relationship With It Now, hear my heart: God is merciful. In fact, He’s more merciful than I sometimes want Him to be — because if it were up to me? Whew! Some people would be struck down on sight for the wickedness they walk around with. (Just being honest. Lord, forgive me — You see my strong emotions.) Sometimes it disgusts me — the cruelty, the hypocrisy, the pridefulness of people who claim God with their mouths but deny Him with their hearts. ( Isaiah 29:13 — “These people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me.”) JUDGE THEM LORD I’m like, “God, why are You giving them more time?!” But the truth is: “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” — 2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV) God doesn’t want to punish. He stretches His hand of mercy out first. He gives opportunity after opportunity to repent. He even sends people to warn, to intercede, to plead. He will stir your heart, send conviction, place wake-up calls in your path. But if you refuse? If you stiffen your neck and harden your heart? Then judgment comes. Because God is not just merciful — He is a righteous judge. Lessons from Israel (Spoiler: Stubbornness Has a Price) If you ever doubt that God eventually judges sin, just look at Israel. God warned them again and again. Sent prophets to beg them to turn away from their wicked ways. They refused. THEY chose rebellion, stubbornness, and pride. And captivity came. Seventy long, hard years in Babylon. “And those who escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon, where they became servants to him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia.” — 2 Chronicles 36:20 (NKJV) Mercy came first. Judgment came after. The pattern never changes. This Isn’t to Scare You — It’s to Wake You Up I’m not here to scare you. I’m here to shake you lovingly by the shoulders and say: • Actions have consequences. • Seeds always grow into something. • And repentance isn’t optional in the Kingdom of God. Today, there are two groups of people reading this, and I want to speak clearly to both. Message 1: To Those Who Were Hurt, But Chose Forgiveness You forgave when it wasn’t fair and when you could have cursed. You let go without ever getting the apology you deserved. You let go when you could have sought revenge. You humbled yourself when pride would have felt so much better. God sees you. God will vindicate you. “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” — Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) Don’t grow weary. Keep sowing goodness. Keep walking in love. Your reward is coming — and it will be beautiful. Message 2: To Those Who Hurt Others Without Repentance You’ve hurt people. You refuse to apologize. You play the victim, blame others, and deny your wrongdoing. You shout “God, God!” but your heart is cold and proud. You hide behind fake spirituality while nursing a prideful heart… Please hear me: God will not be mocked. You may think you’re getting away with it — but it’s only mercy giving you a window to repent. If you keep skating on thin ice, eventually it will break. Repent while there’s still time. Apologize to the ones you’ve hurt. SAY SORRY YOU WON’T DIE! Humble yourself before God has to humble you — because that kind of humbling is painful beyond words. Final Word: Let’s Treat People the Way God Treats Us With Love Let’s not be prideful. Let’s not be careless with people’s emotion. Let’s not be fake spiritual people who ignore the deep call to real repentance. Let’s Be People Who Love Well • Be quick to forgive. • Be quick to repent. • Be quick to apologize. • Be quick to treat others with care. Because how we treat people is a reflection of how seriously we take God. Heaven is watching. And every seed we sow into people’s lives matters. ⸻ 🎵MUSIC TIME🎵 Abednego Lufile – Bow Down Abednego my brother in Christ! Lol- his transparency hits different—he shares how God delivered him from lust, porn addiction, and generational negative patterns. He’s real about it and stands firm on holiness and the Word.

Love seeing folks around my age bold in their faith like this! Marcus Rogers – Turned It Marcus is another one who does not play when it comes to standing on the Word. He stays unapologetically bold—never sugarcoats truth and always points back to Jesus. The song will have you wanting to jump up and shout, “Won’t He do it?!”

We’ve got a praise report today—and it’s a big one. Our very first partnership is officially in the books! Can you believe it? What started as a vision in the secret place is now a reality— and we give ALL the glory to God! May We Never Forget This Month The Lord started this movement on May 1st , and I can’t help but wonder… Why May? There’s something about this month that feels sacred. Prophetic. Strategic. I don’t have all the answers just yet, but I believe with everything in me that this is just the beginning of something so much bigger than we imagined. So we’re marking it. We’re remembering it. May 1st, 2025— the launchpad of love in action . From Vision to Partnership This wasn’t just an idea. This was a God-given vision . And to see it unfold in real time? It’s humbling, it’s beautiful, and it’s just the beginning. We partnered with an amazing organization to serve the community, and let me tell you— it was a full-circle moment . Big Shoutout to Our Volunteers BIG SHOUT to our volunteers —you are the real MVPs! Whether you gave your time, or simply lifted us up in prayer, THANK YOU. Your yes helped this mission take flight. Our partner was beyond pleased, and we’re excited for what’s ahead. We know this is only the beginning of a harvest that’s been watered with obedience. Eyes on the Next Assignment Now that this partnership is complete, we’re gearing up for something even bigger: our first official event . We’re still in prayer, still seeking God for His direction and details—because we don’t move unless He moves. And as we look ahead, we’re reminded of the vision: To love the ones the world overlooks. To serve the ones who can’t pay us back. To reflect the heart of Christ through action —not just words. Love Beyond the Four Walls Church doesn’t only happen inside a building. Ministry isn’t confined to a microphone. Sometimes, it looks like holding hands with a struggling parent, handing out groceries, braiding a child’s hair, or simply being present. We are the church. Wherever we go, we either plant the seed or water what’s already been sown . And God? He’s the one who brings the increase. ❤️ Pray With Us Please keep us in prayer as we continue this journey. There’s so much ahead, and we’re walking in full surrender —with our eyes on Jesus and our hands ready to serve. I’m honestly amazed by what God is doing. I just want to stay obedient, keep my heart pure, and honor the vision He’s entrusted to me. This platform? This mission? It’s not about us. It’s about Him — always and only Him. Stay Connected Want to see the beauty for yourself? Head to our Instagram and check out the event highlights : @afeastforhisbeloved Sneak peek: We had the BEST MC—like, hands-down. You just had to be there! We’re just getting started. Love ❤️ — A Feast For His Beloved Team Let love lead. Always.

Today’s topic is a little spicy and very countercultural , and though it’s aimed at my fellow women, men , don’t scroll past — this will bless you too! We are living in a time when God is raising up Esthers and Deborahs — women who bow their knees to Him, not the shifting sands of the world’s agendas. The dividing line is being drawn. We must choose a side. Will you align with God’s Kingdom, or with the culture? Let’s talk about it. A Little Transparency: My Journey with Submission & Authority Let me keep it all the way real. I didn’t grow up with the best father figure—but I did have one, and for that I’m grateful. Still, I carried confusion and wounds that shaped my view of men and marriage . No one really taught me much about men. Most of what I learned about men came through — you guessed it — baptism by fire ! Sure, I got along with men better than most women, but being a good friend to a man does not prepare you to be a good wife. At one point, someone ( God bless their heart) tried to blame my shortcomings on not having a strong father figure, claiming, “How you treat your dad is how you’ll treat your husband.” Ouch!. That hit hard—but something didn’t sit right with me about that statement. While there may be some truth in that statement (yes, good upbringing bears good fruit), — but here’s the truth: If a woman doesn’t submit to the Word of God, she will never submit to authority properly — not her father, not her husband, not anyone.It ’s not about upbringing alone. Submission doesn’t start with men—it starts with God . You can have the most loving, wise, amazing dad and still struggle to submit to your husband. Why? Because submission is spiritual , not just relational. The Turning Point: Godly Mentorship & Spiritual Growth When I truly surrendered my life to Jesus, He started teaching me what submission and authority really mean. God, in His faithfulness, even connected me to a discipler and mentor— a man of integrity, wisdom, and holiness — who taught me about biblical submission through the word of God. And let me tell you: God will always make up for the things you never had, as long as you stay submitted and committed to Him. Godly Women Respect Divine Authority You, my dear sister, are a woman of God first — before your career, tribe, ethnicity, or title. Yes, aunty, even before being a “feminist” ( which is another conversation for another day) The Word of God defines your identity, not culture. Culture says, “Get a prenup!” But the Bible says, “What God has joined together, let no man separate.” (Matthew 19:6) A prenup sets marriage up for failure before it even begins. Marriage is a covenant — not a casual contract. It’s God’s design, not man’s idea. So why would we trust culture’s manual over God’s? Play Your Role, Sis. God Designed It for Your Good “ The Bible says: “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church.” (Ephesians 5:22-23) Ladies, hear me with love: The man is the head — not you. There’s a divine order to the family. And it doesn’t mean you’re lesser. Play your role, Queen! God’s design is not to oppress you— it’s to bless and cover you. Now, I know some will say, “But what if my husband isn’t submitted to God?” Let’s pause right there. (Side note: as a daughter of God, why did you marry someone who doesn’t submit to Him? But hey—God is merciful, and we’re not here to judge.) Here’s your assignment: Get on your knees. Pray him into God’s will. Don’t fight your husband with words and disrespect. Fight on your knees. Be the woman who reports her husband to God first , not to social media or her friends. Trust me, heaven listens when a woman prays with a pure heart. YOUR battle strategy: PRAYER. The Power of a Prayerful Woman “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” (Proverbs 18:22) “A virtuous woman is worth far more than rubies.” (Proverbs 31:10) A prayerless woman is a powerless woman . When you pray, God will give you wisdom — when to speak, how to speak, and sometimes, when to stay silent. Control your emotions, don’t let them control you. You can’t do it in your own strength — ask God for GRACE. Be the kind of woman whose presence unlocks favor over her husband’s life—heaven takes notice when a virtuous woman stands in position! A Woman Sets the Atmosphere “A wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.” —Proverbs 14:1 Your husband sets the rules, but Woman of God, you set the atmosphere  and tone . Encourage him. Empower him. Pray for him. Love him like the King God says he is — even when he’s not acting like it. Love covers a multitude of offenses. (1 Peter 4:8) No, I’m not saying stay in abuse — absolutely not. But love gives you the wisdom and grace to overlook small offenses without reacting to everything. Let God give you discernment to know when to address things — and when to simply let go. Final Thoughts: Culture vs. Kingdom Woman of God , you can only submit to authority correctly when you fully submit to God. If culture has more influence over you than Christ, you’ll resist godly divine order every time. Here’s the challenge: Stop fighting with your words — start fighting on your knees . Pray more than you complain. Stop OVERREACTING: Invite God into every area of your life, ESPECIALLY your emotions. Your words can make or break your husband, your marriage, and even your destiny. “The tongue has the power of life and death.” —Proverbs 18:21 Choose to speak life. Choose to build with your words. Choose to be a woman who God can trust to carry His glory into her home. Who are you : A woman of the Word, or a Woman of the world? The choice is yours — but I pray you choose WELL & Let your answer be seen in how you live. Music time—but with a twist! Fun Fact: When I fully gave my life to Christ, something wild happened—I became a reader. And if you know me, that’s nothing short of a miracle. I’ve read over 30 books in two years, which is hilarious because I never liked reading (some of y’all probably thought I couldn’t read—be honest!). Truly It shows God really can transform every part of you. One book that blessed me deeply (and I’ve read it more than once and cried every time I read the first chapter) is “God Is My Matchmaker” by Derek Prince . It’s a beautiful story of surrender in the area of marriage. Seeing a man yield to God like that? Whew. It’ll bless you. If you’re praying about marriage or just need a fresh reminder of God’s faithfulness, grab this book. It’s a treasure. And now, for the worship. My fav worship singer? Theophilus Sunday. His songs aren’t just melodies—they’re encounters. Start with these two: From Your Throne Kill What’s Left of Me Prepare to be undone. These songs will pull you into deep intimacy with Jesus.

Ugghhh… how I’ve treaded lightly around this topic. Writing about it feels like peeling back the layers of an old scar — one that hurt so deeply it was as if I died and resurrected into another person. So please forgive me if I sound a little intense — I don’t take this lightly. But I believe the Lord has a word for us today, and I must obey. Kingdom Marriages Are Rising — But There’s a Cost There is a sound from Heaven in this hour — a sound calling forth kingdom marriages . Not just marriages , but marriages forged in fire , shaped by prayer, fasting, and full surrender to the Word of God. But like anything sacred, there’s a price . You see, to have a true kingdom marriage , there’s a level of consecration that God demands. This isn’t for the lukewarm or the half-hearted. This is for the ones who said, “Lord, not my will, but Yours be done.” (Luke 22:42) Many of us come from bloodlines where sin, wickedness, rebellion, and compromise have gone unchallenged for generations. Evil altars have been left unbroken. And because so many believers are spiritually lazy, the righteousness of evil sometimes outperforms the righteousness of good. The righteous seeds in these families have been sleeping too long, letting wickedness take the throne unchallenged. But not anymore. God is raising a remnant — men and women who will be the pattern breakers, the curse crushers, the righteous rebuilders. Families that once bowed to evil altars and negative patterns will now bow at the throne of grace. You are part of that remnant. You Can’t Marry Just Anyone Not every relationship is God’s relationship. Not every marriage is God’s marriage. Listen closely: God has serious plans for your union. Kingdom marriages are mantled marriages — they are mission-driven, purpose-powered, and heaven-certified. God has already ordained and blessed your marriage. But you must answer the call . And answering the call often looks like surrender — full-blown, face-down surrender. “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” (Proverbs 19:21) Some of you reading this — you might be in the wrong relationship right now. If you feel restless, anxious, unsettled — don’t ignore it. That could very well be God tugging at your heart. That restlessness might just be God screaming: “I have better for you!” Be courageous. Make the hard decision. Choose His will over your own. And trust me — He will give you grace for the journey ahead. A Warning About Marrying The Wrong Person I truly believe the worst thing outside of not making it to heaven… is marrying the wrong person. Why? Because marriage isn’t just about you — it’s about the bloodline you are building. It’s about the next generation, and the next, and the next. When you marry wrong, you invite chaos into your future , you create unnecessary detours, you open doors to battles God never intended for you to fight. And if you’re called to be a pattern breaker , hear me: Your spouse must carry the same mantle. Because marriage is multiplication — whatever is in you, and whatever is in them, multiplies. Good or bad. Holy or wicked. Destiny or destruction. You can’t afford to link up with someone lukewarm, indifferent, or double-minded. It’s not just about how cute they are or how good the vibes feel —it’s about assignment , covenant , and destiny . By their fruits you will know them.  Look closely before saying YES. Fruit doesn’t lie. Don’t ignore the signs and call it faith. Faith doesn’t dismiss red flags; it discerns. If the fruit is rotten or absent, it’s not your job to fix it — it’s your cue to move. You weren’t called to resurrect dead trees. How to Prepare for Your Kingdom Marriage So here’s my advice if you want to walk in the era of kingdom marriages : 1. Surrender Completely to God Fall on your knees. Cry out. No more half-hearted ness. Tell God you accept the call. 2. Repent for Your Bloodline Stand in the gap. Repent not just for yourself, but for your ancestors. Ask for mercy to cleanse your bloodline by the blood of Jesus. 3. Stay Away from Sexual Immorality It’s a trap to contaminate your destiny. Purity matters. Holiness matters. Your bloodline’s future depends on it. 4. Ask God to Connect You to His Choice Pray this with urgency: “Lord, connect me to the bone of my bone and the flesh of my flesh — the one You ordained before You formed me!” 5. Pay Attention to Red Flags Words mean nothing without fruit. Watch their prayer life. Watch their values. Watch their actions. Ask God: “Expose every hidden thing!” 6. Be Brave Enough to Obey If God shows you a hard truth — move . Even if it breaks your heart for a moment, it will save your destiny for a lifetime . If you pray earnestly, I believe God will honor your prayer . He might confirm it through a dream, a vision, a word from a trusted vessel — Stay sensitive. He will speak. Your Bloodline Will Be Different: You Are the Pattern Breaker You are the righteous man or woman rising up in your family. Because of your obedience: • Your children won’t know divorce. • Your grandchildren won’t know poverty. • Your great-grandchildren will worship the Lord in spirit and truth. • Negative patterns will be shattered — and righteousness will flow like a river through your bloodline. But hear me: you can’t do this alone. You and your spouse must be in agreement — not just in word but in spirit, in prayer, and in purpose . You’re not just getting married for companionship or for a social achievement — you’re building a kingdom legacy. Advise From Your Fellow Sister! Marriage isn’t just about romance or Instagram-worthy wedding photos — it’s about destiny. If that man or woman won’t submit to the Word of God over their emotions — run . If their prayer life is inconsistent — run . This journey demands more than feelings — it demands commitment . You need a partner who will encourage your spirit , fight beside you , and build a future that glorifies God . Don’t compromise. Don’t settle. When God called you to break negative patterns in your bloodline. “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1) Tell God today: “I’m ready to build with You, Lord. Only Your choice, not mine. Only Your will, not mine.” And watch Him move. Final Thoughts: Your Marriage Is Kingdom Business Your marriage is the weapon God will use to break generational chains and build a holy legacy. This is why you can’t afford to marry just anybody. You have an assignment on your life. The right spouse will help you walk in deliverance, healing, and purpose. The wrong spouse will bury you under another layer of generational dysfunction, heartbreak, and delay. The enemy knows this — and trust me, he’s not sitting this one out. He will send counterfeits. He will send distractions. He will try to exhaust your patience, warp your discernment, and make you settle for what looks “good enough” instead of waiting for God’s best. Better to stand alone in God’s will than be yoked to someone outside of it. I pray You will not miss your assignment. You will not miss your person. You will not recycle the pain your bloodline has carried for generations. You are a pattern breaker and the cycle ends with YOU ! The story God is writing through your life and marriage is bigger than you — it’s about every generation after you. 🎶 MUSIC TIME 🎶 1.

Lawrence Oyor – The Cleansing Fire This is a spiritual chant — it’s soul AND heart therapy. A chant for healing the wounds life left behind. Let the fire of God burn away the hurt and bring deep emotional restoration. Healing is here!

Why didn’t anyone tell me that suffering is part of the Christian walk? Like, I wish someone sat me down and gave me the full disclosure—because I really thought giving my life to God meant all sunshine and roses. Oh how, I was not prepared for the pruning. When I truly surrendered to God, I was ready for light, joy, peace, blessings, and the occasional prophetic dream. What I wasn’t ready for? The fire. The pain. The trials . No one sat me down and said, “Hey sis, this walk comes with persecution. Your yes to God might cost you everything like— people, comfort, even your own will.” It was a slow, stretching surrender. I started to change, and people around me didn’t know what to make of it. Honestly, I didn’t either. But one thing was clear—I couldn’t keep doing what I used to do. I lost the appetite for it. I wasn’t trying to act “holier-than-thou,” I just wasn’t the same . And when you truly begin to walk with God—like really walk—it shows. It must show. I wasn’t performing—I was transforming . And transformation is offensive when everyone else is comfortable in compromise and sin. The Truth— many Christians have never seen transformation modeled  well . We say we love Jesus, but for many, He’s Savior—not yet Lord. So when someone begins to truly change, it looks foreign. It looks “extreme.” But how can we claim to walk in Light and still be cool in sin? 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away…” I was mislabeled, misunderstood, misinterpreted—even by people who claimed to love me. And it hurt. Deeply. That was my first taste of tribulation. I realized then: This is part of the walk . Not everyone will get your convictions. Even when you’re doing the right thing, it can feel wrong when you’re standing alone. Suffering Is Part of the Process Y’all. I thought it would get easier as I continued  to get deeper with God —but it felt like all hell broke loose. Literally. Spiritual warfare came at me like a flood. Physical challenges hit too. Friendships died. Finances 😅 . Family members got distant. One thing after another. I was losing more than I was gaining. And I wondered— is this really what I signed up for? And yet… I thought the more I obeyed God, the smoother life would be. I thought things would get better fast . But honestly? It got harder initially . I kept thinking of Peter when he said: “We’ve left everything to follow You! What then will there be for us?” — Matthew 19:27 Jesus replied with the promise of eternal and earthly rewards, but then—in the verse—He smuggled in the word “persecution.” Like, excuse me, Lord… you tucked that part in real smooth. Had I known that persecution was part of the reward . Let’s Talk About It: The Forgotten Gospel of Suffering In today’s teaching of the gospel, one topic tends to stay real quiet in the pulpit: suffering. It’s often skipped, overlooked, or sugarcoated—but the truth? The Bible is littered with it. Suffering isn’t a glitch in the Christian walk—it’s part of the journey. Yes, God is good. Yes, He gives blessings, favor, mercy, and power. But He also allows the fire that forges us. The wilderness that humbles us. The trials that refine us. Look at Paul. Flogged. Beaten. Shipwrecked. Misunderstood. Imprisoned. Still, he wrote, “I am persuaded that neither death nor life… shall separate us from the love of God” (Romans 8:38–39). That’s not poetic fluff—that’s the voice of someone who lived through the storm and still stayed anchored. And Peter? The apostles? Beaten for preaching the gospel —and walked away rejoicing (Acts 5:41). Who does that? People who know the cost but count Christ worth it. Even Elijah, the fire-caller himself, ran from Jezebel, weary and ready to give up. Obedience will stretch you. Sometimes it will break you. Nobody told me following Jesus would mean losing comfort. Nobody said yes to the King came with a cross. So yeah, blessings are real. Mercy is beautiful. Favor is undeniable. But don’t forget—there’s power in the pain too.And Jesus never promised it’d be easy. He promised He’d be with us. Tribulation Has Purpose Now let me say this: some suffering is allowed by God. It’s a refining fire meant to mold us into the image of Christ. “We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.” — Romans 5:3-4 God uses suffering as a tool. A chisel. A forge. It is often the furnace where His perfect will is formed in us. Sometimes pain is the only thing that produces purpose. Look at Hannah. Her womb was closed. She was mocked by her husband’s other wife—year after year. She prayed and prayed… and still, silence. I imagine her prayers started out raw and desperate: “God, give me a child!” She prayed. Nothing. She wept. Still nothing. But as she matured in the suffering, her prayers shifted and aligned with God: “Lord, if You give me a son, I’ll give him back to You.” — 1 Samuel 1:11 (paraphrased) Boom. Alignment. Heaven said “yes.” “So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son… and she called his name Samuel, saying, ‘Because I have asked for him from the Lord.’” — 1 Samuel 1:20 All along God was molding her. Shaping her capacity. Refining her prayer. Heaven responded once her prayers aligned with the will of God . Her  pain birthed one of Israel’s greatest prophets— Samuel , the one whose words never fell to the ground. The one who anointed kings. That kind of promise child Hannah carried required deep surrender and alignment . The Truth—sometimes suffering is the stage where God performs His greatest miracles. But we must stay consistent even when Heaven seems silent. Keep praying. Keep trusting. And maybe ask— Lord, is my prayer aligned to your will? If not, align me, shift me, refine me. Some Suffering Is Self-Inflicted:  Not All Suffering Is From God We don’t talk about this enough. Some trials come from God—they’re part of the process. But let’s be honest, some suffering comes from our own choices . We brought it on ourselves. Wrong decisions, disobedience, pride, compromise and sin. We can’t blame God for what we invited in. Sin have consequences. Period. God is merciful but He won’t override our free will. We open doors sometimes, and the enemy walks right in. But even in that, God redeems . He says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us” (1 John 1:9). He makes a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). But we must be honest, repent, and close the doors we opened . “All things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose.” — Romans 8:28 Not for those who love sin. Not for those who love comfort. Not just visit Him on Sundays. Key phrase: For those who love God . So let’s ask ourselves—am I suffering because I’m being refined? Or because I need to repent ? What Do We Do With the Pain? We endure and persevere. We surrender our will until they align with His will. We remember Jesus’ prayer: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” — Luke 22:42 We ask: Is my prayer selfish? Or is it kingdom-aligned? Because there are some breakthroughs you can’t get until your heart posture shifts and aligns with his will. Final Words So, family… I leave you with this: Yes, suffering is part of the walk. But it’s not the end. It’s the refining hallway between who you were and who God is calling you to be. It’s part of the walk. It’s the narrow road. But don’t lose heart. God is working even in the silence, even in the heartbreak, even in the unanswered questions. The heat may rise, the pruning may cut deep, the losses may hurt—but the reward? Eternal. God is calling us to a deeper place—a purer faith. Not built on an IDEA of him, but on Him . He’s not after perfection. He’s after persistence . After hearts that still say yes in the fire. “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” — Hebrews 11:6 Stay faithful, even in the flames. He’s with you. He’s shaping you. If nobody else told you— I will : Persecution is part of the package. But so is His presence. MUSIC TIME — Kingdom Edition! Today’s song is “Covenant Baby” by Emandiong — and listen, the moment I heard it, I connected instantly. It’s not just a vibe, it’s truth. This is my jam ! Confident, set apart, covenanted & covered — this one hits deep. ( And yes, it’s the anthem of my life — no debate! ) Now instead of dropping another song, I gotta put y’all on to this vlog I found — pure gold. Sis is preaching holiness with power and grace. Her page is such a breath of fresh air! Watch it here And her slogan?? “ Your big sis in the gospel. ” Iconic. I’m so here for it.

Today’s topic is going to be real, raw, and juicy. Some might get convicted, others might get upset, but we need to be people who love the truth—the Word of God—more than our emotions. I say this with love, because I’m still learning this too. I’m no expert—it truly takes grace to walk in truth when our feelings are screaming louder. A Culture of Feelings: Emotions vs. The Word of God We live in a culture that tells us to nurse and gratify our emotions and feelings above everything else. That mindset has crept into how we walk with God. The truth? Many of us obey our emotions more than we obey the Word. Our feelings have become our gods. But here’s the catch—whatever you feed most has the greatest hold over you. “For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” ( Galatians 6:8 NKJV ). Unfortunately, many of us today are “title” Christians rather than true followers of Christ because we allow our emotions disciple us. Plenty claiming Christ, but following feelings over Scripture. Bible’s open, popcorn’s ready—this plot writes itself. 🍿👀🙃 The Legal Lens: Earthly Laws/ Spiritual Laws Let’s lay a foundation. Most of us believe in the law—the judicial system, judges, lawyers, enforcers. It’s set up to create fairness, order, and justice. Most countries have some form of judicial system that—at least in theory—is designed to judge matters fairly. For instance, if someone steals to feed their starving family—he’s desperate, his family hasn’t eaten in two weeks, and he’s trying to survive. We can sympathize with him. Though we understand the desperation and even feel compassion, but legally? He still broke the law and will be judged accordingly. The judge doesn’t say, “Oh, your intentions were pure? Never mind.” His intentions might be noble, but a judge won’t throw out the case because of his emotions. He’ll still be held accountable. The judge will judge fairly based on the law, not emotions. Good intentions don’t erase legal consequences. The law is the law—emotions don’t nullify it. Now, why do we think God’s laws should work any differently? Heaven Has a Courtroom Too Just like we have earthly laws, there are spiritual laws too—and the Bible reveals them clearly. Satan is called “the accuser of the brethren” in Revelation 12:10 (NKJV) —a very legal term. He’s a prosecutor in the courts of heaven, accusing God’s people day and night. But thank God, we have Jesus—our Advocate! 1 John 2:1 (NKJV) says, “…if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” We even see this courtroom scene in Zechariah 3:1 (NKJV) : “Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him.”  Spiritual legal proceedings in action. Our Emotions Don’t Rewrite God’s Law If the Bible gives us laws to live by, why do we fight them when our emotions don’t agree? Let me be real—God corrected me on this. I used to debate a friend passionately over a  sensitive topic - abortion, blaming his stance on his gender and lack of empathy. But in truth, he was using Scripture—and I was just being emotional. Yes, we have free will. But there are still consequences to using it wrongly. Me, gearing up to argue… all because emotions said, “Ready For The Smoke” Alright, let’s get into it—abortion. Yeah, the topic that had me this close to snapping on my friend. But instead of letting emotions run the show, let’s slow down and get to the truth. As a woman, I’ll never claim to understand everyone’s situation. I speak this from a biblical lens, not to belittle emotions, but to elevate the truth . I understand how delicate and painful this subject can be. But I’m not speaking from emotion—I’m speaking from the Word of God. Abortion is a sensitive issue. No matter the reason—financial hardship, incest, the father is abusive. The Word of God calls it murder . And even when there are deeply emotional and complex reasons behind it, the law of God does not change. You may have had a “good reason,” but repentance is still needed. We don’t get to excuse sin because our intentions were noble. The enemy doesn’t care why we sinned—he just uses it as an open door . I’ve heard stories where post-abortion, women faced unexpected afflictions—infertility, plans falling apart, even health issues. The point is this: sin gives the enemy access , and he’s always looking for legal ground to take more. The enemy doesn’t care about our reasons. He only needs a legal right. And sin—unrepented—gives him that right. Even if the child came through sin ( fornication or adultery) , God still has a purpose for that life. Yes God hates the sin , but the life is still a gift . Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV) says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you.” We must seek God even in the most difficult decisions and stand on His Word. Wrong is wrong. Sin is sin. Period. We cannot let emotions justify sin. Emotions vs. Forgiveness Let’s make it personal. I’ve struggled with forgiveness at times . Some people have hurt me so badly, I’ve wanted to clap back hard. No fake “God bless you” here—I wanted real revenge. But the Word-says : Matthew 6:14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” And that’s a law in the spirit. Forgiveness isn’t a suggestion—it’s a requirement. I don’t always feel like forgiving, but I must choose God’s Word over my feelings. Our Emotions Are Fickle. God’s Word Is Not. Truthfully, this area isn’t easy. Our emotions are unstable, fickle, and unreliable. Feelings can lie. Emotions can deceive. Popular opinion can be wrong. But God’s Word? It’s forever settled. “ There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” ( Proverbs 14:12 NKJV ). We often use worldly wisdom and emotions to make decisions rather than God’s righteous judgment. Jesus reminds us clearly: “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment” ( John 7:24 NKJV ). The Struggle Is Real: Emotions vs. Obedience We must become lovers of the truth—the Word of God—above our emotions. Sin can never be justified by our emotional or situational reasoning. Let’s repent, humble ourselves, and seek God’s forgiveness sincerely, even when our intentions seemed justified. Remember, you’re not the ultimate judge—God is. It’s prideful to think we decide right and wrong based on how we feel. He is a righteous judge, and we should always seek His counsel. Let’s walk this out together, seeking His grace to place His Word above our emotions each day. It’s not easy, but with God’s help, we can truly live lives that reflect His holiness and truth.. So today, let’s ask ourselves: Am I obeying my feelings… or am I obeying God? Just because it feels right doesn’t make it righteous. Let’s be people who love truth more than our feelings. Let’s love His truth—even when it cuts. With love, grace, and conviction, A fellow truth-chaser still learning to walk above the waves of emotion. MUSIC TIME ! Tomi Favored & Yinka Okeleye – “We Love You Jesus” Man… this song right here? It makes me want to just cry, melt, and bask in the overwhelming love of Christ. It’s that tender, tear-soaked kind of worship that reminds you just how beautiful it is to be loved by Jesus. A true anthem of intimacy. I love, love, love this song! CalledOut Music – “Day by Day” Now this one is a bold declaration! The lyrics say, “Day by day I will follow Your ways—I no send anybody.” Yup! Aka, I will work out my salvation with fear and trembling ( Philippians 2:12 ). A daily yes to Jesus, no matter what the world says. 3.

Watch the interview here 🎬

Back again with another chat about holiness! I feel like I didn’t go as deep in my last blog, so I’m back to dive deeper. Buckle up—this one’s going to be real, raw, and practical. In my last post, I broke down the meaning of holiness—simply put, it means being set apart unto the Lord. Holiness isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a command straight from Scripture. And while that sounds great in theory, let’s be real—many of us (especially we Millennials & Gen Z folks) struggle with holiness. Why? Because for a lot of us, it wasn’t modeled correctly. What we saw growing up wasn’t true holiness—it was Pharisee holiness —hypocrisy in a religious disguise. Many of us grew up seeing the Pharisee model of holiness rather than true holiness. Jesus said this about them in Matthew 23:2-4 : “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees have the authority to tell you what the Law of Moses says. So you should obey them. Do everything they tell you to do. But their lives are not good examples for you to follow. They tell you to do things, but they don’t do those things themselves. They make strict rules that are hard for people to obey. They try to force others to obey all their rules. But they themselves will not try to follow any of those rules.” Sound familiar? We grew up seeing people preach holiness but not live it. We saw rules without relationship, performance, and outward righteousness with inward corruption. No wonder we struggle! We saw people pretending to be holy on Sundays but living completely different lives Monday-Saturday. No wonder so many of us rebelled! Hypocrisy doesn’t lead people to God—truth does. The Hard Truth: My Story of Purity When I truly started walking with God, it was a process . You know how some people say they got saved and immediately fell in love with Jesus? Yeah, that wasn’t me. It took time, conviction, and surrender . One of the areas where God convicted me deeply was my virginity . Now, let me be real—this is NOT easy for me to share because I’m a private person. But I believe someone needs to hear this . See, I wasn’t out here sleeping around. I carried myself with respect. But if I’m being completely honest, I wasn’t keeping my virginity for God. I kept it for me. My decision was rooted in self-preservation—I didn’t want to get pregnant and ruin my career or goals. Then, when I reached a place where I was successful and flourishing, I made a fleshly decision —I gave it up. And if I could take anything back, it would be that moment. Why? Because from that point on, my discernment dropped significantly. And it makes sense. Sexual sin dulls your spiritual sensitivity. All sin separates us from God, but some sins affect us in deeper ways than others. 1 John 5:16-17 even says that not all sin is equal—some sins lead to death. Let’s keep it 100 for a moment: If you’re out here fornicating  and still claiming to love the Lord and be a man or woman of God; you’re deceiving yourself. The truth is, you love your flesh more than you love God. No sugarcoating it. Until you get real with yourself and own that, you’ll never experience true freedom. I’m saying this with love because I was there. I hid my sin. But the Bible says, “He who hides his sin will not prosper” (Proverbs 28:13). We have to be real with ourselves. Stop claiming the title if you won’t live the lifestyle. Real Repentance Brings Real Change By God’s grace, I truly repented from sexual immorality. And let me clarify—repentance is not saying “sorry” to God and then going back. It’s a complete turning away. I had to face the fact that I was the one who invited the sin in. I was seductive at times. I was manipulative at times. But when I surrendered to God, He gave me the grace to stand. Now? You couldn’t pay me a million dollars to go back. My decision to live pure is no longer about me —it’s about Him. And because my purity is rooted in Christ, no trend, opinion, or temptation can shake me. We live in a generation where purity is mocked, but let me tell you something—I wear my purity with pride and dignity. If my King is pleased with me, that’s all that matters. Modesty: The Holy Spirit Changed My Closet Another area where God called me to holiness? My dressing. Whew, this one was a struggle. I didn’t want to look like “Mary Amaka” (you know, no style, just covered head to toe). Me? I like to look good. Then one day, I heard the Lord say: “Do you think I want you to look ugly? It got me thinking— isn’t He the same God who beautified Esther? If God elevated her beauty for His purpose , why wouldn’t He do the same for me— in HIS way? That wrecked me. Because we love to box God in—like He only cares about “big” spiritual things. But He cares about everything, even our fashion choices. I finally surrendered, and God completely transformed my closet—and my appearance. Funny thing? After I embraced modesty, people kept telling me, “You look even better now!” That’s when I realized—God upgrades what we surrender. I thought holiness would make me look “boring,” but instead, it elevated me. We can’t talk about modesty without addressing 1 Timothy 2:9-10 , so let’s dive in and clear up what this verse really means: “And I want the women to make themselves attractive in the right way. Their clothes should be sensible and appropriate. They should not draw attention to themselves with fancy hairstyles or gold jewelry or pearls or expensive clothes. But they should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.” Let’s get this straight—the verse doesn’t say modesty means you can’t look good. It means your beauty shouldn’t be rooted in your outfit, your makeup, or how well you turn heads. True beauty starts from within—it’s your character, your purity, your heart before God. Dress well, look presentable, but never let your appearance be the foundation of your worth. As a woman of God , what should draw people to you isn’t your body, outfits, accessories, or hairstyles like the world teaches—it’s your good deeds, your light, and the presence of God within you. Big lesson? God worked on my heart first, and then He transformed my outward appearance. It all starts within ! Side Note: Somebody Needs to Hear This—Let Go of That Double Life! Sis… bro… it’s time to stop playing games with God. ✔️ Instagram bio says: “Daughter or Son  of the King, Man or Woman of God, Lover of Christ” with a Bible verse. ❌ Instagram pictures say: Cheeks out, cleavage showing, seduction on display. HYPOCRISY! Let’s be real— God is not fooled. You can’t claim God in your bio and advertise lust in your feed. The Kingdom of God is not just talk—it’s power! (1 Corinthians 4:20) . There is POWER in purity and holiness. I truly hope my words don’t come across as judgmental or harsh—that’s not my heart at all. This is coming from a place of love because we have to do better as followers of Christ. It’s easy to say we follow Him, but our actions need to match our words. Lip service won’t cut it. A real follower walks the walk, not just talks the talk. Holiness: The Upgrade You Didn’t Know You Needed Holiness isn’t only about what we wear or sexual purity —it’s about everything. It’s about being transformed from the inside out. Holiness  is about how we live, how we love, how we represent Christ in every area —our speech, our actions, our integrity, even our secret thoughts. It’s a lifestyle. —it all matters to God. And while I didn’t touch on every area in this blog, trust me, God wants ALL of you, not just pieces. Here’s the truth: God’s way is ALWAYS better. Holiness isn’t a burden—it’s a beautiful gift that shapes us to be more like Christ. And let me tell you, there is FREEDOM in living set apart. No more double life. No more bondage to sin. Just pure, unfiltered, elevated living in Him. So, sis (or bro), if you’re struggling with holiness, you are NOT alone. My challenge to you? Let God in. Not just on Sundays. Not just in your captions. Fully surrender —and watch Him elevate you in ways you never imagined. This journey of sanctification is just getting started— stay tuned for more in my next blog!

When Life Be Lifing… But Jesus Is Still King! Long time no blog—life be lifing, but Jesus is still on the throne! This season has been humbling, stretching, and let me be real…some days I’m walking in faith like a warrior, and other days I’m Jacob in a full-on WWE match with the Lord. But He’s doing something deep in me. I told the Lord I didn’t just want to know about Him — I want to know Him. Like, for real for real. Not church catchphrases. Not what so-and-so said. I need a firsthand revelation. And let me tell you, when you ask for that… buckle up. The Lord doesn’t play about intimacy. He will take you on a journey. And speaking of journeys, let’s talk about something that’s been bugging my spirit… Half-Baked Christian Influencers. Can this trend just…end? Now before y’all start clutching your pearls, hear me out. I’m not here to drag people. But I am here to lovingly sound the alarm. And fam, we need to talk about it — because it’s hurting more than it’s helping. Loud for the Lord… But Lacking Oil There’s a wave crashing through the digital frontlines of the Church. It’s loud… but there’s no fire. Emotional… but not anointed. Zealous… but never sent. We’re in a time where passion is trending, but His presence is missing. Posting Jesus Without Knowing Him First Here’s how the trend shows up: 1. Bold, passionate, camera-ready believers—hearts in the right place, sure—but not yet refined in the secret place. They love Jesus, but they’re trying to post Him before they’ve truly known Him. 2. High production, low presence. The lighting is great, but the oil is missing. There’s charisma—but where’s the character? The message has become a marketing strategy. A testimony turned TED Talk. A viral reel with a Scripture slapped on it. Just performance wrapped in Christian packaging. Who Sent You? Zeal, Emotion… or the Lord? And I have to ask: Who sent you? Your emotions? Your desire to be seen? Or the Lord of Hosts Himself? Don’t get me wrong—zeal is good. Testimonies? Beautiful. But a powerful testimony is not the same as being sent. Having a platform is not the same as having authority. A camera and a ring light don’t equal a calling. Here’s the deal: just because you have a testimony doesn’t mean God gave you a mic. Before He Sends You, He Brings You Into Intimacy With Him Because last I checked, before Jesus sent the disciples out, He had them with Him. Mark 3:14 — “Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach.” Did you catch that? “That they might be with Him…” Before He sent them, He called them to be with Him first. That’s the blueprint, fam. See that order? With Him first. Sent later. Your Testimony Is Not a License to Lead But now? Everybody’s launching ministries or platforms off vibes and emotions. Preaching with no oil. Posting like they’re apostles, but their life be reflecting something else. I’ll say it again, a powerful testimony doesn’t equal a divine calling. Influence without intimacy is dangerous. And y’all — the enemy knows it. He’s not scared of your story, your speaking skills, or your social media presence . He’s terrified of someone who’s been in the secret place. Because that’s  where the real assignments are birthed. Where refinement happens. Because who God uses, He first prepares. He Refines Before He Sends: God Doesn’t Send Unbaked Bread: Refined Before Released Before God sends us; He refines. He sanctifies. God detoxes us from the world’s ways — from carnal ambition, ungodly ideologies, hidden sin, ego — and He teaches us His ways. You don’t go from altar call to apostle overnight. Ask John the Baptist — he was in the wilderness before he ever preached his message. His life became the message. No wonder the impact was undeniable. Now contrast that with what we see today: folks preaching purity and holiness with cheeks and cleavage out. Sharing “Christian dating advice” while shacked up. Quoting Scripture one moment, then next post or story playing ratchet soundtracks. Woman or Man of God caption but still slipping into fornication. It’s giving confusion, not conviction. The Gospel Is Not a Campaign. The Gospel isn’t a trending topic. It’s not a business model or content series. It’s not about us. It’s all about Jesus. That’s exactly why God takes His time with the ones He sends. He’s not trying to make us go viral—He’s making us vessels that carry weight of his glory , not just words. Don’t Just Preach It — Become It We’re not here to perform the gospel. We’re called to become it. 1 Corinthians 9:27 — “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” That part: “Disqualified.” Because the message loses power when the messenger lacks alignment. That means your life must match your message. You’ve got to live it before you post it. No Oil? No Authority. Ask the Sons of Sceva. You can’t microwave this process. You can’t skip the wilderness and sanctification process . And you definitely can’t fake fire —the devil knows the difference. Trying to step out without being sent? That’s not bold—that’s dangerous. Remember the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19:15 ? They tried to cast out demons “in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches.” And that demon clapped back, “Jesus I know. Paul I recognize. But who are you?” Translation: “You don’t have the clearance for this battle, sir or ma’am” They were trying to operate in authority they never received—and what happened? The demon beat them down, stripped them, and sent them out naked and humiliated. (That’s not just Bible drama—that’s a warning.) When we step out in emotion , hype, or borrowed revelation—without real authority —we’re easy targets. That’s what happens when zeal jumps ahead of obedience. When emotion tries to do what only anointing can accomplish. When you carry a mic without carrying the authority to back it. This is the result! Move When God Says Move — Not When You Feel Like It We’ve got to stop jumping ahead of God’s timing, slapping “God told me” on what’s really just emotion. Paul didn’t preach immediately after his radical encounter. He fasted. He waited. He spent time in Arabia before ministry. ( Acts 9:9 , Galatians 1:17–18 ). Why? Because God was preparing him, refining him, rebuilding him. Even when he wanted to go to Asia, the Holy Spirit said “not there.” God rerouted him to Macedonia ( Acts 16:6–10 ). That’s called sensitivity to the Spirit —and it comes from time staying in the secret place. Submission > Perfection God works progressively, shaping us day by day. One layer at a time, He peels back pride, teaches obedience, walks us through holiness, and shows us what true sacrifice looks like. He’s not after perfection. He’s after surrender . A heart that says, “Lord, have Your way—on Your terms, in Your timing.” We’ll always be under construction, always being molded—but I truly believe there’s a certain level of refinement He must go through before He releases us. Because God doesn’t send out unfinished vessels for his assignments. He’s too intentional for that. Private Before Public. Secret Before Seen. Preparation comes before promotion. Sanctification before influence. Consecration before public announcement. Yes, you’re zealous. But without wisdom, that zeal can hurt people. Influence without intimacy is dangerous. Because holding a mic means being accountable for souls . And James 3:1 reminds us that teachers will be judged more strictly. This is no light thing. Don’t Chase Influence. Chase Intimacy. So please — before you hit “post” — pause and ask: “Lord, is this You? Or is this me?” Take time to be with the Lord . Let Him refine you. Let Him shape the message inside you first. Let Him show you your assignment—whether it’s public or private. Remember: Not everyone is called to the mic. The body has many parts (1 Corinthians 12:12-27)  . Some seen. Some hidden. But all essential and necessary . Don’t chase visibility. Chase obedience. Don’t crave influence. Crave intimacy. Don’t go viral. Go deeper. And above all let God announce you! Because a message preached with your mouth but not reflected in your life? That’s not ministry — that’s performance. YOU MUST BECOME THE MESSAGE YOU PREACH! Still learning, Still growing, Still staying in the secret place. Music Time 🎵 “Ojoro” – Sound of Salem Now this song? It’s a public declaration of wholehearted, “I’m-all-in” love for Jesus.

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase kingdom business ? Do you think of a Christian bookstore or a gospel radio station? While those are great, I believe God is calling His people to something much greater—a full-on infiltration of every industry with His kingdom principles! The problem is that too many Christians have confined their faith to only the four walls of the church. We show up on Sundays, maybe attend a midweek service, and then go back to our 9-to-5 jobs, never realizing that our real ministry happens outside the church—in the everyday hustle of life. Think about it—where do you spend most of your time? At work. In businesses. Engaging in transactions. And yet, the business world is one of the most secularized arenas, flooded with worldly values, leaving little space for the Kingdom of God. And that is exactly where God wants His people to stand on business —His business! Where are the kingdom entrepreneurs? Where are the men and women who will boldly carry God’s principles into the marketplace? Kingdom Business: More Than a Church Thing God is raising a new generation— a people who will carry His presence into every sphere of influence. Whether it be: • Government officials like Daniel (Daniel 6:3) who will stand for righteousness. • Therapists who counsel with the Word of God as their foundation. • Real estate developers like the one I heard about who buys land, prays over it, and builds houses for people  to live in blessed communities. • Kingdom news channels that report from a biblical worldview, not a corrupt, fear-mongering one. kingdom movies, music, and social media content that glorify God instead of pushing ungodly agendas. • Kingdom barbershops and beauty salons where an appointment turns into deliverance! • Schools where Jesus is the foundation , and teachers raise up godly leaders , not just students who pass exams. • Fashion designers who create modest yet stylish clothing that glorifies God. • Kingdom doctors and hospitals that believe in prayer and medicine. • Bakers, chefs, filmmakers, writers, and artists who use their gifts to spread His message, not the world’s! The secular world has its version of everything —music, fashion, business, media—but where are the kingdom versions ? We wonder why so many Christians struggle to live holy, yet we are constantly bombarded with ungodly content from movies, music, and social media. The enemy has mastered the art of influencing culture , and he’s been unapologetic about it. So why are we so timid about bringing the kingdom of God into these spaces? Media shapes minds. What people hear and see daily is what they start believing and living out ( Romans 12:2 ). The enemy understands this well, which is why secular businesses and entertainment are so prevalent. Stand Unashamed in the Marketplace I once flew with a Middle Eastern airline, and before takeoff, they unapologetically led an Islamic prayer. Not only that, but there was a designated space on the plane for prayer! Imagine if a kingdom airline did the same—starting every flight with prayer, setting an atmosphere of peace instead of fear. The Bible says: “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.” (Proverbs 22:29) “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” (Deuteronomy 8:18) We have been given the power to create wealth, but for what purpose? To establish His kingdom on earth! But here’s the key: we can’t separate our business from our faith . If you are rooted in the Word, then the Word will naturally flow through your business. Paul was a tentmaker (Acts 18:3). Lydia was a wealthy merchant who sold purple cloth (Acts 16:14). The Proverbs 31 woman had multiple streams of income (Proverbs 31:16, 18, 24). Joseph was a high-ranking government official (Genesis 41:41-44). Luke was a physician (Colossians 4:14). Daniel was an advisor to kings (Daniel 6:1-3). Kingdom entrepreneurs are not a new thing. The Bible is filled with them! Get in the Secret Place & Get the Blueprint One reason many Christians don’t step into kingdom business is that they have never asked God what He called them to do . They followed money, family expectations, or personal desires instead of God’s divine blueprint. That’s why so many feel unfulfilled, restless, and frustrated in their careers and business. If you are out of alignment with your purpose, you will always feel like something is missing. The only way to discover and operate in your true calling is to spend time in the secret place with God . Your business, your career, your calling— all of it should mirror the plans of heaven on earth. The Holy Spirit has strategies, business ideas, and blueprints from Heaven , but He’s waiting for you to seek Him for direction (Jeremiah 33:3). We serve the God of all creation , the One who created the heavens and the earth. He is not boring , and neither should we be! Christianity has been painted as dull and restrictive, but the truth is, the most creative, innovative, and engaging ideas should be coming from kingdom people —not the world. A New Era of Kingdom Businesses I’m waiting for the day when: ✅ Christian music plays in public spaces more than secular music. ✅ High-quality Kingdom movies flood theaters and streaming platforms. ✅ Christian-owned airlines, banks, and clothing brands set the standard for excellence. ✅ Kingdom entrepreneurs dominate every industry, influencing culture instead of being influenced by it. And guess what? That day starts with YOU. God is raising up men and women filled with the Holy Spirit, rooted in His Word, and ready to stand boldly on Kingdom business. He is giving divine blueprints, supernatural wisdom, and creative strategies to those who seek Him. But we must be unashamed to build for His glory. Your business is not just about making money—it’s a platform for spreading God’s principles in culture. Are you ready to stand on business? Are you ready to walk boldly in your Kingdom calling? Are you willing to seek Him for direction? Are you ready to take your industry for the kingdom ? The world has had its time running things. Now, it’s time for the kingdom to rise!
