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.

NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT

Are there are times when you start to think about your life, about how far you have come but not really making a head way, who you started your journey with and how far they have gone and how you have not gone that far? "Chai...what kind of suffer suffer life is this?"  "How can this even be possible? Can you imagine? We graduated together oh, 1st class sef and she's working with a multinational company, married to an amazing man with 2 well spaced kids and in all that time I can't even find me a man to call my own.'  "Why is it that I can't get a job? Am I that much of an olodo (dunce)? Every interview they will say they will get back to me but I'll never hear from them again, how will i get the experience? Is it not when i actually work? Abeg I don tire to dey try and even when I decided to follow my heart and I started doing my craft, it was as if they have banned the purchase of my products. What kind of thing is this...God what is happen...

HAPPY 2020

Hey Y'all, So my daughter had a meltdown yesterday! Her insides were literally melting and running out through the entry and exit points and I was stunned by how fast her strength was deteriorating, her movements were becoming slow and how my bubbly, smiling, in-charge ‘Jesus-toddler’ was changing - and for not so good – right before my eyes. I was quiet. I watched. I held her and I rocked her back and forth and watched as at intervals her body rumbled and rejected the very things that give it vitality and strength. I was quiet! I was listening, listening for my heart but while at this, my deceiving ex was whispering, coaxing and even shouting at me, telling me the things that were wrong with my child but I was quiet and I listened. Then I heard it! I heard it over and over again by the friendly familiar voice and He said “STAND BY YOUR SACRIFICE…” At that point I knew we were under attack and I was being instructed by our Captain how to...

BE ENCOURAGED!

It's absolutely amazing to know that all you ever hoped to be, do or have is already in you. it's true and that's as plain as it gets..."Christ in me the hope of glory..." Sometimes we feel like we need to study more, acquire more knowledge and insight to prepare and equip us for what God has put in our hearts to do but guess what, all that 'equipment', resource, skill, talent, flair, gift that we need is already in us and what we need to do is STEP OUT!! Step out in faith on God's instruction on what he wants you to do. Don't wait to have an exclusive one on one interview with @tarafeladurotoye or @moabudu or any of your own mentors/role models to understand how they became who they are before you step out. Those opportunities are priceless and I advise that you jump at an exclusive chat with any of your mentors but don't seat on your bum and just wait! You'll be waiting for a long time but once you step out, I guarantee you that yo...
