Thank YOU for 2016

Image
For the times of joy, peace and laughter, For the times that I really didn't know what to do,  For the times that you kept pushing me on, For the moments that it seemed you were silent,  For your ever abiding presence, For yours words that kept me on track,  For the silent whispers within my heart,  For the timely interventions, For my Pastors and my mentors, For the family, friends, and loved ones you've blessed me with,  For ACCESS all around, For the blessings that knocked me off my feet, For the blessings that I asked for and received, For the blessings I received and didn't ask for,  For the blessings I'm yet to lay hold of, For GRACE, Favor and Love,  And for being there all through the days of this past year My heart and mouth screams out THANK YOU!!!  There is no way,  I would have made it without you.  Thank you for 2016 #AllTheGloryBelongs2YOU Yspot! 

2016 in Songs

Permit me to say this first "This GOD is too good"!!! (I know you can testify to that) As the year draws to an end, I'm filled with gratitude for all that YOU have done oh Lord because it is certain that I "Never would have made it without YOU" and that is why "I lay to heart to say Thank YOU" because "At the center of it All, it's YOU that I see". Each day of the year 2016 was a confirmation that "YOU are Good and your mercy is forever" and also the year 2016 proved that the "Blessing is on Me". I look back and can't deny the fact that Indeed "I have tasted of your power" and I can say without doubt that "YOU are the GOD that opens every door". .. "Great GOD, good GOD YOU are".... "Thank YOU for being GOD!". I am still expectant because I know that YOU are not done. I am confident that "My latter will be greater than the past" and very certain that &q

When GOD interrupts

I have always wanted to share this but didn’t have a release until now....... Early 2015, I got this job that seemed like the perfect job. So I resigned from my previous place of work and took it. I was so excited, it was exactly what I wanted buh you know...When you belong to GOD, you have to be ready for divine interruptions and surprises. These surprises could be pleasant while some leave you speechless and others make you numb and weak at the knees. Why does GOD interrupt? Because most times what He has for you, is way better than what you want or what you can see . So, He steps in to save you from settling for less.  And so was the case with that job. We got our letters, began training, went for outings together . Then, we got the shock of our li ves that kind of not-too-good but needed surprise. We were asked to wait for a while before resuming fully. And we waited, and waited until 3 good months passed by It was not fun

It has to be from GOD

If it is not in Your presence If it is not by Your hand If it is not by Your Spirit Don’t let me have it #FrekeUmoh You hear some songs and they just never leave your spirit man alone . You find yourself singing and humming such songs without control . That is exactly what the song above by #FrekeUmoh did to me . Such simple lyrics filled with utmost power The truth will always be the truth   Whether we choose to accept it or not Only ideas and vision gotten from His presence   Out live us Whatever we did not get from GOD will not last   No matter how hard we struggled to achieve it If it did not come from His hands   Then it will most definitely slip from off our hands If it did not come by His Spirit   It can never be sustained by His Spirit What GOD gives the world cannot take it away   Because the world didn't give it to you Wait only on GOD to get your needs and desires met   Don't run ahead of Him, His timing i

GOD can use anyone

When I meet with children who have read the YCD (Yspot’s Children Devotional), I get really excited and grateful that I kept at it even when I had no idea what GOD was up to.  Well, the first thing I ask the kids is to tell me 3 animals they can remember from the devotional. I get different types of answers....laughing. Some would say, a Cat, a Monkey or some just go beaming with mischievous smiles. I laugh because the current edition contains animals whose names begin with the alphabet A and B. So when the kids go calling different animals..cats, monkey and etc. I just go laughing because I know those animals cannot be found in the devotional.   Some kids have done well but Toluwanimi was exceptionally  different. I spoke with Toluwanimi over the phone and not only did you mention the very first animal in the book... Aardvark which others and even some adults find difficult to pronounce , she mentioned a host of others and further went on to ask w

He has an AMAZING PLAN

  I have seen GOD do things Great and outstanding things Some were things I desired  While some were things I didn't expect at all His ways are just amazing And He has the most amazing plan for you and I I have seen Him answer prayers I have seen some prayers go unanswered I have also experienced His silence But that doesn’t change the fact that HE is GOD and a good one at that.......His ways are just not ours And He has the most amazing plan for each one of us I have seen HIM permit some things to happen Some of them I seem to grasp fully Others I accept in good fate, knowing He is up to something But some....leave me baffled W ith questions bouncing here and there Still yet....it doesn't change the fact that He is a good GOD And His amazing plan will unfold eventually Whatever state you are in at the moment Whether amazed and speechless at what He is doing Broken inside by something that was permitted Or still on the verge of comp
