I CAN DO ALL


I saw this picture of a lady who was multitasking with about 6 arms doing different things at the same time, all of which required maximum attention…I must add. This picture was sent to a body of women celebrating them for their strength and multitasking abilities which in itself is amazing, and one of the ladies’ response was and I quote “several times I wished I had 6 hands then I am reminded that I am graced to do even much more…” Wow…this struck a chord in my heart and I was amazed at how we easily tilt to a picture of self aggrandizement rather that what the gospel says about us.
Women in general are laden with so many responsibilities; financial, domestic, motivational and even economic responsibilities and the expectation is that they must carry out these responsibilities seamlessly without a hair out of place…looking like you waltzed out of a celebrity magazine or off the red carpet of some high profile social event.
If you’re a lady reading this you might be saying ‘hmmm, as in ehn’ or ‘tell them oh’ or ‘hmmm…you don’t even know the first about my own responsibilities’ or ‘I get oh but how do I even start?’ and other comments agreeing or explaining or portraying defeat under the load of the chores.
These responsibilities are REAL and we ask most times “is it actually possible to do all these things?” and my answer to you is YES! It is possible!
Yes because;
  • 1.   The Bible specifically said that the state of our hearts is who we really are, not our heads or hands, Proverbs 23:7 tell us. Whatever you think in your heart is empowered to be in ‘real life’, your heart is like the factory of your life; where things, ideas, thoughts, tasks, experiences etc are processed and whatever conclusions you come to or what you believe, whether positive or negative begins to take place in your life. So choose ye this day…to think and know that you can do anything! You can do all that is before you to carry out. Your heart has to be set right in order for you to accomplish anything, if your heart is full of negatives then guess what your day will be full of. Some people think it’s just the power of positive thinking…well, what I mean is thinking RIGHT according to God’s will, thinking on God’s word, thinking on what he has done for us and how he has empowered us in Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. That’s where the power is, that’s where your strength comes from.
  • 2.   God is the strength of our heart, Psalms 73:25-26. When you see in the scripture that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Philippians 4:13 and you process it in your heart then you accept it or agree with it and believe that you can actually do all things; God empowers your belief and directs you on how to do ALL. It might seem a little conceptual but truly your heart and God partnering on any matter is a most powerful force to reckon with.
  • 3.    You will stand up and do…yes, you need to get off your bum and do what you need to do! Many times we believe that God has empowered us to do all and we have gone ahead to analyze our tasks, chores and responsibilities but good OLD laziness is what is wrong with you. You’ll sit down there day dreaming of a clean home, washed dishes and clothes, letters/proposals drafted and emailed, your 30minutes workout done etc…noooo. GET UP! Get up and get moving; only then can you do those things. Yes, God will direct us and even send people to help us o still you need to be up and moving, you might even need to ask for help as you are led to; some people are even so lazy to ask for help and it’s so annoying and then when God’s word comes forth you say “I believe I receive” but will you yield to God’s directions? Don’t let those things pile up…you’ll still have to do them someday. Selah!

God told us through Pastor Joseph Adah in church @savannahmins that ‘we are cushioned with strength and favor’ I believe this word and I will yield to the Holy Ghost as God directs me. So in all that I DO I expect the cushion of strength and God’s favor in making the task easy or sending people to help and save time.

CHANCE OR NOT

Ludo is quite an interesting game for me. I like it because I can think through and be strategic about my moves before making them and I can quickly recover from an opponent’s hard hit and make a comeback. Some say it’s a game of chance that can only be decided by a throw of the dice but then again, life hands us things sometimes that we must make the best out of. So this is my story… I was playing ludo with someone recently and the winner would be decided after five rounds of the game, so I cracked my knuckles, rolled up my sleeves, mentally psyched myself and thought “easy peasy, she can’t even stand my skills; I GAT THIS!!” So we started to play and yours truly was waving her bragging rights high in the sky like a banner for an upcoming election. The game was going in my favour… omo* I was on fire! Move after move, I frustrated all her efforts with my well thought out moves, my skills and years of experience playing the game. The score was now 4:1 and I was on my

PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS

There they are, sitting bright and sunny perched delicately, waiting to be unwrapped to reveal the creamy yummy goodness that is so sweet and decadent, smoothe and cool to the touch. Yes; ripe and ready to eat bananas are fancy like that. Lol, perfect! right?! But what would you say about overripe bananas? Sitting at the back of the kitchen counter top or even closed away at the back of a kitchen cupboard; forgotten or on purpose left to grow and mature. It starts getting brighter but after a while dark brown spots and black patches begin to appear on them as they stay longer. They look off and unappealing, dark and unattractive but guess what they are still very PERFECT, discoloration and even time makes them perfect for the yummiest banana bread loafs and cakes like those from @sweetstuffkitchen. Okay okay, enough musings about bananas... FAM, don't wait to be perfect! your IMPERFECTIONS are what makes you unique, different and I dare say, PERFECT. Do not deprive humanity of your
