What will they say?

They say that only good men die and that you're not meant to speak ill of the dead. I wonder why that is; if a person didn't live well then shouldn't we be telling others so that they don't repeat the same mistake? I can understand that we don't want to offend and hurt those who are mourning their loved ones but once person has passed all the opportunities we had to tell them the truth are gone. We can try make ourselves feel better and say lovely things about them or we can speak the truth in love hoping that those present at the funeral will choose to walk differently and choose eternal life that is Jesus Christ.

Love is Kind

So I was at a Bible study on Sunday which was focused on the book of John and how he discribes or speaks of Jesus. Christi s described as love and something that stood out from the whole thing, was 1 Corithinians 13: 4-7. I've known this scripture since I was young, but I think I haven't paid it the right amount of attention.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Loving deeply

I love my friends and family so much. No doubt loving people is one of the overarching themes of my life. The thing is, sometimes I think I love too much. Is that even possible? Leaving friends is the hardest thing to do especially when you form lifelong relationships and then you realise you may be separated indefinitely. What am I getting at you ask, well my heart is sad way ahead of its time about leaving friends again.I got that feeling again yesterday when I was at the church soaking session. His People has become home for me in a way that I have been praying for, not yet to the full extent that I desire, but now even what I have surprises me. I felt such a strong sense of family last night and my mind couldn't help but think, "How am I ever gonnna leave?" God's doing some amazing stuff in our church and I'm so excited to be a part of it, yet I know it's gonna be sort lived for me cos I've been called only for a season here.

Nothing really

Something I've been thinking about for a while now is how God always has a consistent status.That is God is good, God is love, God is gracious. God is merciful... get the drift? But He also has a constant update cos He's always up to something. I know He's up to something in my life but sometimes I'm like, let's do it now, show me so I can do it. I'm still learning to chill and do this season well.


I really don't have much to say today except that God is good and I'm learning to live in that revelation. Good night world, back to the books!

Exceedingly, Abundantly and Above

There's a scripture that says that God is able to provide exceedingly, abundantly and above all that you can dream or imagine (Feel free to give me the reference to this...).


I had a hard time in high school with making the right type of friends. I had some friends alright, but I desired something deeper, more life changing and building. My friendships for the most part weren't about blessing each other and helping one another move further in relationship with God. I didn't have very many friends who were sold out for the Lord and we never really sought to bless and love each other in ways that only God can inspire...

Dreaming of those productive days...

I'm dreaming of a day when I will be a person who knows how to do everything way in advance. When you're like me and have been pulling all nighters since first year and you're in third year and you still haven't learned the lesson and learned it well, there comes a point in your life where you're like, enough! I need help!

Learning to listen

I'm reminded right now of something I read somewhere,I think it was in Joyce Meyers book, the battle field of the mind, someone in there complained about how her husband would go somewhere and listen to people rather than share all the smart things he knew. Her struggle was that people would not know how smart he husband was and he responded that he knows what he knows, he wants to know what other people know.

So where I'm going with this is that the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me through prophecy, through sermons and scriptures and I have so much poured in to me, I'm beginning to realise that I may have started talking too much. In my dry season not too long ago, I felt like I had little to say and pour out so the best thing I could do was listen. Now that I'm hearing God, I may be forgetting the lesson I learned while I went through the previous session, that sometimes, people have the answer already, they just need to use you as a sounding board.
