PERHAPS YOU WERE BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Gideon was born as result of the cry of the Israelites that went to God against the midianties. His birth was an answer to their prayers even if he didn't look like it at his birth. But he kept on showing up.

Esther was born at such a time when one wicked Haman wanted to get rid of the Jews. She wasn't just in the palace to enjoy the moment. She understood her purpose and assignment. She wasn't carried away by the splendour of the King's palace. She was not carried away by her position.

Esther understood why she found herself in the palace at that time. She showed up at the right time.

Young man, maybe the reason why you existed in this generation is to show up in your family's affair. It's not just for you to occupy space.

Your lady, perhaps you were born for such a time as this when godly ladies are scarcely found, where immorality is celebrated in every walks of life.

You are not here to be a slay queen. You are not just here. You are here for an assignment.

Since the beginning of this lockdown, have you been netflixing and chilling?

Have you only been eating?

Have you been chatting endlessly?

Have you taken this time as a period to only enjoy yourself without thinking of your assignment at this time?

After this time, some folks will rise up to take their places in all walks of life. Others won't be relevant again in their field.

During this period, you will know if actually it's inadequate time or lack of hunger that has been keeping you from enjoying the fullness of God.

Show up in your family.

Show up in the media.

Take where you are for Christ.

Esther redefined Royalty.

Gideon got rid of Baal's images and stood for God.

The land of Israel had rest for 40 years because Gideon showed up.

May your generation not be at loss because of you.

May the generation that will after you not be unfortunate because of the decisions you are taking now.

I urge you to be wise in the decisions you take at this time for it will speak even many more years to come.

Keep showing up.

Most importantly, show up in your season adequately prepared. None of those men showed up suddenly. They understood process.

"For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther 4:14

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy. I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me. So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms. For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things. A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT A whole lot of things must have been conceived in your mind before indulging in sex. That act you carried out was as a result of a lot of mental works that you have carried out in your mind before you finally carried it out. Here are things to know before sex can actually happen between two people outside wedlock, rape situations excluded please. 1. Men generally, are moved by what they see. So, when a guy visits you and the next thing you do is to expose your cleavages, wear bum shorts, with just the two of you behind closed doors, honestly speaking, that guy would have a whole lot of dirty things going on in his mind. You are inviting him either consciously or unconsciously. 2. Women generally, are turned on by sweet words spoken to them by men. Yes, we love it when we hear how amazing we are, how pretty we are. When a particular guy showers you with incessant praises, you tend to fall...

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray. CAUTION: Don't pray amiss. The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right? God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning. When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms. Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts. One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...
