TO ALIGN - LWY EP 12

Image
Is it possible to know what God wants for you and do it the way He wants it done? This episode talks expressly on how to know God's plans for you and how to align with His plans.  Find out in Episode 12 of this blog post - To align. *  *  * Dear Believer, By the time you finish reading this blog post, you'd have discovered how to align with God's plans for you at every stage of your life. Cheers to your testimony! ❤️ To align is to fall in line.  To align is to identify with or match the behavior, thoughts of another person.  To align is to fit in a certain approved way of life.  The second strikes me more, you? In design, every element (e.g text, image) you see is aligned in a certain position and that's what makes the design beautiful. (Like the one above) P.S: If you don't know much about design, don't worry. Just know that any beautiful design you see out there is well-aligned. A design not well-aligned looks rowdy and unorganized; a life not aligned lo...

DOUBLE - LWY EP 11

Image
Anything double given as a compensation is always a gold mine. Double food, promotion, cash e.t.c. For you as a believer, what kind of double compensation can you receive? Find out in episode 11 of this blog post - DOUBLE . First, I'd love to appreciate you. Yes, you who is reading this piece.  Thank you... I will just finish my appreciation note at the end of today's read because it is more important right now. *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * So, there is this story of some group of people who suffered so much.  They ate the bread of affliction and drank from their enemies.  They had come to accept their fate that they were destined to suffer, but like they say "there is light at the tunnel end."  They left the land of their enemies as glorified freemen but before they left, they got paid in full, Ex. 12:35-36. They were led out in a grand way into the life they were called to ...

UNSCARRED (with no scar) - LWY EP 10

Image
 Is it possible to go through smoke and not smell smoke? Can you enter fire and not get burnt? This episode discusses two Bible stories about fire and believers being in fire situations. Continue reading in episode 10 of this blog post - UNSCARRED Unscarred is not scarred; even after going through a burn. Yoruba Google translate says "ti ko ni aleebu" It's almost impossible that some situations don't leave a scar in our lives but it is possible it doesn't. Two stories confirm this.  In Ex. 3:2, the angel of God appeared as flames of fire from a bush that didn't burn.  Moses saw it and moved closer. I'm guessing he wanted to have full view of this strange gist. Then in Daniel 3:21-27, three Hebrew men were thrown into fire bound but they didn't get burnt too.  I know you must be thinking "what connection does these two stories have?"  The most evident connection is fire.  The bush was on fire but it didn't burn.  The Hebrew men entered fir...

BACK TO THE BASIS - LWY EP 9

Image
Have you ever felt bad for choosing to do the right thing because the obviously wrong thing got the credit? This episode discusses the plight of believers standing for the right cause and how they can get comfort from the situation. Continue reading in episode 9 of this blog post - Back to the Basis It's very easy to envy and desire what's wrong especially when things are not working for you.  Instead of labeling those thoughts as evil, your heart begins to review and justify them.  Questions begin to pop up within you. This is a major vulnerable stage for the believer.  Many times, as believers, we have labeled God as partial especially in things relating to the rich and the poor, the believer and the unbeliever.  It's dumbfounding how good things go well for disobedient and evil people but it feels like we are stupid to have stayed obedient.  It surprises me too, even though I have tried to manage the thought of it and console myself.  We try to figure wh...
