Moments with Grace 8 - A Thankful Heart

Image
        It’s New Year’s Eve and what a privilege to be alive to see it! In this past year, we all have experienced God’s love, grace and mercy in diverse ways and He deserves all the glory, praise and thanksgiving. There is a song that says; "count your blessings name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done". I would like you to take a few minutes and think about what the Lord has done for you this past year. I was talking with my children about the miracles we’ve experienced from God and when we started listing them, we were amazed at God’s faithfulness. You can start with at least 10 things you are grateful for….. Things like the breath of life, the gift of salvation, the gift of family and friends, food ,clothes shelter, etc   Please be intentional about it. Write in down in a book or on your phone and you might out number 10 without realizing it. God has really been faithful🙌   The Bible says we should give thanks to

Moments with Grace 7 - Hit the Ground Running!

Image
      Gloryyyyy!!!  We made it to the month of December…God be praised!!! Let’s head straight to the post of the day. On this post, Grace talks about the need to hit the ground running. Sounds familiar… *** Over to you Gracey… Hit the Ground Running! Do you sometimes have a sense of God calling you or needing your attention? Let’s journey through these people’s life experiences and how they yielded to Jesus our master. “One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets at once and followed him. A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them to come, too. They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and thei

Moments with Grace 6 - The Battle for the Human Soul

Hello Fam!!!   Glad we all made it to the last day of the month of October. On this edition of moments with Grace. She will be shedding more light on “ The Battle for the Human Soul ” Over to you Grace… Did you know that the battles we fight today are more Spiritual than Physical? The devil has long been fighting God, but we know the end of the story… In today’s reading, I will like us to look at the text below in the context of Jesus being The Way, The Truth and The Life (John 14:6) Please have a read:1 Kings 3:16-28 NLT In the beginning, God had a perfect plan to fellowship with man so when man fell into sin, God in His wisdom, made a divine plan to rescue him from the power of sin and death by sending His son Jesus Christ to reconcile us to himself. What a distinct form of love ever expressed on the earth. The Bible says “All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all. Isaiah 53:6 NLT

Moments with Grace 5 -Life is like the morning fog

Hello Fam! Congratulations! We are on the verge of entering the 10th month of the year. We express gratitude to God for His unwavering love and faithfulness to us. Now, I'll pass the floor to Grace for the inspiring session titled: "Life is Like the Morning Fog." *** Hello wonderful people! Today, I invite us to reflect on the scripture below, which offers valuable insights on how to navigate our lives on this earth. The truth remains as in seen in James 4:4 that life is transient. Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. James 4:14 -ESV God created us and positioned us on Earth to glorify Him for a limited period. There will come a day when God calls for our earthly existence to end, marking the culmination of this phase of our journey. Yet, this transition opens the door to an eternal communion and everlasting experience with the Lord God Almighty, provided we choose

Moments with Grace 4 - True Wisdom

Image
  Hello Fam, I hope we are doing great. How was the month of August? We are glad to have Grace in the house again. Today, she will be talking about True Wisdom. *** When we think of the book of Job, I believe our minds immediately goes to the suffering Job passed through and the reward of his faithfulness to God. However, I would like to also highlight the verses of scripture that expounded on how true wisdom displayed by Job can be activated.   “People know how to tear apart flinty rocks and overturn the roots of mountains. They cut tunnels in the rocks and uncover precious stones. They dam up the trickling streams and bring to light the hidden treasures. “But do people know where to find wisdom? Where can they find understanding? No one knows where to find it, for it is not found among the living. ‘It is not here,’ says the ocean. ‘Nor is it here,’ says the sea. It cannot be bought with gold. It cannot be purchased with silver. It’s worth more than all the gold of Ophir, gr

Moments with Grace 3 - Depend on God Alone

Image
  Hello, everyone! Welcome to Moments with Grace, edition 3. Are you all excited for today's edition? I know I am! So, without further ado, let's dive right in and make the most of this wonderful time together!😇 This edition is titled : Depend on God alone (psalm 62:5) Grace over to you...💣 While studying the book of Chronicles I was perplexed about the story of king Asa and how his reign as king started well but plummeted due to distractions and  human trust😓. His health also deteriorated because of his total dependence on medicine other than God as  seen in the text below: At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa and told him, “Because you have put your trust in the king of Aram instead of in the Lord your God, you missed your chance to destroy the army of the king of Aram. Don’t you remember what happened to the Ethiopians and Libyans and their vast army, with all of their chariots and charioteers? At that time you relied on the Lord, and he handed them over to you.

Moments with Grace 2- The Faith that doesn’t disappoint.

Image
Hello Fammmmm, I am so excited and grateful that we made it to the end of the first half of the year. This is a good time to reflect on our journey and look forward to what lies ahead. As we begin a new month and the second half of the year, I have a wonderful write-up from my friend Grace on Faith that doesn't disappoint. It's perfect timing I would say, may this infusion of faith provide us with renewed hope and motivation to make the most of the remaining days and achieve our goals. Over to you Grace…   Just thought to ask 🤔 Have you ever come to terms with the reason why the blood of Jesus Christ is very crucial for every human being on the surface of the earth? it is mainly because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and Jesus who is the blameless and precious lamb of God is the only one who can ransom us from the law of sin and death.( Romans 8 1-3) Nowadays, there are so many people all around the world with diverse ideologies

Image
Hello, everyone! How has May been treating you? It seems like it's wrapping up on a positive note😇 Do you remember our previous series, "Mornings with Grace"? If not, you can still find them here on this blog. These beautiful writings were inspired by my early morning drives to work with my dear friend Grace. I have some exciting news to share 💃🏻 : Grace will now be contributing to this blog on a monthly basis to inspire all of us. So, without further ado, let's dive into our first installment. Let us give a rousing ovation as Grace takes the stage. May her words touch our hearts and lead us closer to the divine. Today, I want to talk about " The Fruit Bearing Branch " 🌳 As children of God, we often find ourselves grappling with how to please Him and understand His perfect will and purpose for our lives. I want to encourage you by emphasizing that remaining in the Spirit is the only requirement for believers to bear fruit and avoid falling in

Good people receive their rewards

Image
  April is over guys…glory to God…..wuuuuooo  💃 It went by so fast.. but most importantly, God proved Himself faithful. Just a quick reminder as we cross over into the month of May: "Those who turn from the truth get what they deserve, but a good person receives a sweet reward" Prov 14:14 TPT. I love the way NLT puts the last part of the verse: Good people receive their rewards In summary: For seeds sown, you shall reap a hundred folds. For the good done, you shall receive rewards. The things done in secret are about to bring you honour & recognition before many In the month of May, Be expectant!  💃 Something Good Is Brewing  💃 💃 It is time for rewards people.....get ready  💃 💃 💃 Prayer: May we all be rightly positioned to receive our rewards in the month of May. Yspot!

Stretch, don't get comfortable

Image
  We sat down as we reminisced on the things we had achieved so far, it was encouraging to see that the things we had desired over the past few years were eventually coming to be. Mind you, these things did not just happen because we desired them, nope, they happened due to consistency, hard work and of course the backing of Abba.   I know sometimes, even after all the consistency and hard work, nothing seems to be happening, don’t give up, keep at it.   And even when it seems all is happening as you planned, don’t get too comfortable, and refuse to settle, stretch, do more, and grow.   I watched my dad give his best in everything. I remember his consistency at getting to work early and getting things done. He was aimed for the top and he got there.   Getting to the place you desire will require more from you ; discipline, hunger to learn and commitment to doing things excellently.   There is more to you than this. stretch Have a beautiful April Yspot!    

Heal our land dear Lord

Image
 No words at the moment Just a heart felt prayer for my country Nigeria Dear Lord,  Our nation needs you Have mercy on our land Over the years the glory of this land has been harshly pulled apart layer by layer Causing us pain, and making us bleed We ask that you cover us We plead that you heal us See us as we run in different directions and countries for safety and security Make our land safe again Please restore our glory Save us from the raging battles Bring calm and peace to every part of our land Expose and destroy the powers and people hell-bent on ruining our land Let them be as chaff before the wind Make their paths slippery and dark Let this land be habitable for our generation and those to come in Jesus Name!

Go after it

  As we drove by the side of the estate, my eyes caught a woman stepping out of her car. She walked towards a small farm beside the estate, you know those tiny portion of land that people manage to dig 3 ridges on, and plant food stuffs, yep that kind of semi-farm.,lol I watched as she went for the cobs of corn on the stalk and yanked some off. My thoughts: -         Why na? The person who planted the corn farm must need these corns for survival, whether to plant of to sell and get some money. -        See the fine car she dropped from; she could afford to buy a bag of corn, why was she plucking off cobs of corn from the roadside. *** As the car I was in drove on, I turned to watch as she walked back to her car, and that’s when I saw the real reason behind her actions; she was heavily pregnant. I guessed she had a craving she couldn’t resist…smiles A craving can be likened to a powerful desire that needs a corresponding action. Desires are things you have seen with the eyes
