What can you solve? What can you fix? Is it the leaking tap? Are you a plumber waiting to happen? Is it an unfashionable generation? Are you a fashion entrepreneur waiting to emerge? What problem can you solve in this world right now? What gap can you fill? Because money follows value. And value follows solutions. If you never discover what you can solve, you will struggle financially , unless you choose dishonest ways, which I forbid for you.

Thieves do not solve problems; they create them. They steal because they failed to identify a gap where they could bring value. But you? You were not created to take what doesn’t belong to you. You were created to build, to fix, to design, to teach, to heal, to lead. Find the gap. And let your reward come as a result of the value you provide.

Occupying through providing solutions. I am occupying a blog because daily I solve the problem of possible ignorance. I solve problems of the mind, so I am a mental health counsellor. I solve the problems of believers who often become negligent of their spiritual lives, so I lead a prayer group. I do other things too. What that means is I am filling a gap in the world, which will bring value to me and create an avenue for resources. The world is full of problems, full to 100%. Those problems are the reason why they hire people for jobs. They call you for an interview and you fail? What they saw was someone who cannot solve their problem. Do you get it now?

You may be a teacher; you are providing a solution to a generation that may be dull in the future. The doctor at 28 was once a Grade One student. It means those who solve educational problems at a mature stage are just as important as those who solve them at the childhood stage. One builds the foundation, one builds the brain later. Both are problem solvers. Both get paid. Both have provided a solution to the world. The world is looking for problem solvers, not those who create problems. Ladies like looking good, so could you be a solution bearer for beauty products? Oh, in your community people don’t have access to good bread, can you bake? Solve their problem. So in your country people can’t seem to find anyone who can teach good English, can you do it? Solve their problem.

“I’m looking for money” but money is looking for you too. Money is searching for us, desperately. The issue is that no channel has been created for it to flow. You haven’t solved problems yet. The other day, someone called me for makeup, I solved their problem of not knowing how to do it themselves, and they paid me. But I can’t just go and claim that money without providing a solution in exchange.

Do you see now that there are countless ways to make money and occupy space in the world? Plenty. Harvard, for example, occupies the mountain of education by solving the problem of low-quality education elsewhere. Food chains like KFC solve the problem of hunger by providing good food, and you pay them. You can’t go to KFC and demand food for free, cry and jump on tables, no! They will send you one big bouncer to carry you by one leg and drag you out. Why? They solve your problem, you pay. Value always follows problem solvers.

So what can you solve right now? If people were willing to pay you, what would they pay you for? “No, I’m waiting for a job.” Okay, that’s fine but while you’re waiting, what are you solving? How about learning a skill? Do you know that Jesus was a carpenter? People had beds, cupboards, chairs, tables because Jesus and Joseph made them. Surely, they would get paid. What about the fishermen? They spent nights on the boat fishing, scripture even says they toiled all night. Why? Why not go home and relax? They were solving the problem of fish in their land, which brought resources into their hands.

You don’t always need complex ideas, sometimes you just need to think and act. I know a lady who sells eggs; people buy from her instead of your Spar. She delivers them to people and has solved their problem, while discovering her business could grow bigger and offer better prices. What can you do right now? If your answer is “nothing,” then you are not ready to occupy. The issue is not God or the world, it’s your mindset. You have a defeated mindset. But if you take the time to think carefully, you will find a gap, fill it, and occupy.

See you tomorrow! Go and solve problems. I love you💕

🌸Happy New Week, Yielded People 🌸. . . l pray you are all well. As we continue with our topic, “Occupy Till I Come,” we are exploring different ways we can truly take ground, build, influence, and dominate in the spaces God has given us. Yesterday, while on the road with a sister of mine, l was telling her how uncomfortable it would be for me to work in the aviation industry because I’m terrified of heights so when I’m up there, I just want to come down quickly! Like please get me to the place I’m going and let me get down.

The conversation shifted to how we need more Christians in the airline business since that space is largely dominated by other religions , and suddenly it hit me , the blessing God spoke over Adam in Genesis 1:26 (KJV), “Let us make man in our image… and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air…,”

I wondered, was God only speaking of birds, or was He establishing a prophecy that humanity would one day occupy the skies, soaring even above birds through planes and aviation? When you think about it, man now operates on land, in the sea, and in the sky, there are industries and systems in all three realms but the real question is, which man is occupying those spaces, the fallen man, or you, the redeemed , Spirit-led and yielded man? Selah.

Occupying through providing solutions means understanding why we go to school in the first place. To acquire education, to gain knowledge and understanding of the past, present, and even prepare for the future. All this is so that we can bring solutions through what we know. That is why one of our previous topics was occupying through knowledge.

Education, as a structured system, became necessary after the fall because Adam in his original state did not need it. I have never read any verse that says “And Adam took a math book and started working out sums and equations. Thereafter, he took a history book (would’ve been blank anyways).” The man had divine insight, wisdom, clarity of mind, and direct alignment with God who is AllKnowing.

Adam’s only requirement was obedience and remaining in right relationship with Him. But when Adam ate the fruit, something shifted. Like people when they smoke weed and take drugs. Your mind is deteriorating while you think you’re high. You’re high in dullness. So yes, Adam’s mind was affected, and humanity now required books, teachers, and YouTube to regain enough understanding to function in career, business, governance, and daily life. “How or where did you learn that?” “Oh through YouTube.”

So education matters, because in our fallen state, it becomes a tool for restoration, empowerment, and dominion. An uneducated person neglects a vital part of their development and limits their ability to function at full potential on the earth. Someone may say, “But I know uneducated people who are doing very well.” And that is absolutely correct. It is possible to succeed without sitting behind a desk or following a formal academic path. Education is not a one-size-fits-all journey, but it is a wise and valuable path , especially if you are not naturally wired to function effectively without structured knowledge.

The principle remains, occupying through providing solutions begins with knowing the solution. You cannot provide what you do not know, and you cannot give what you do not have. I’ve met many people who said they could cook, they could do ABC but Shem. They didn’t know anything. When someone’s car breaks down, the one positioned to make money is not the car owner, but the mechanic because the mechanic carries the solution. By solving the problem, he begins to dominate and occupy space within the motor industry. Solutions create influence, and knowledge positions you to provide those solutions.

This was our introduction to this week. We will explore many ways to occupy. Many business ideas. What you can solve, why, how , when? Make sure you bring a friend who can benefit from this. Reshare the link, especially if you know people who are trying to start out in life. These blogs will help them because even to start, you must know how! You see, knowledge keeps you from perishing but laziness keeps you from acquiring knowledge which furtherly (there’s no word like that btw) keeps you from pursuing your destiny.

Helloooooo. It’s reflection Friday! It’s the end of yet another week and APPARENTLY it’s a big weekend. I don’t know what’s happening. I don’t know what they are doing this weekend but they say it’s big. They are saying red whatever, rose whatever, lovers whatever. I don’t know the full gist yet but that’s their plan. They wan give us headache but there’s grandpa and panado in store so we will be hokay! Today’s one will be short cos some of you can’t even read anything else but love letters right now! Kai! See your liiiiiiiiife?

I want to tell you something you didn’t ask me, my name means butterfly.

Anyways, in the image above we see a caterpillar looking at itself in a mirror. I don’t know if caterpillars actually use mirrors, but let’s believe the photo, LOL. As it looks, it doesn’t see the green, awkward worm that it appears to be. Instead, it sees something beautiful. It sees a bright yellow butterfly, big, healthy, and adorned with the most beautiful patterns.

What the caterpillar is seeing is not its present form on the outside, but its true nature on the inside. That’s what many of us fail to recognize about ourselves. All week, you’ve second-guessed yourself and called yourself the worst names under the guise of “being honest with yourself,” but that kind of honesty, when not guided by wisdom, does more harm than good

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

One of the worst things you can do to yourself, apart from rejecting Jesus and making poor decisions, is to program your mind negatively. You begin to see yourself as the ugliest person in the room. You silently compare yourself to others. You hold conversations with yourself that always end in sadness and self-pity. You dwell on thoughts that drain your joy, not realising that this way of thinking has become a habit. If you don’t change how you see yourself, you will never become any better.

I didn’t come to talk too much today. I came to ask you one question, when you look in the mirror, do you see the butterfly or the worm? What do you see? Gideon, what do you see? A mighty man of valour, or the least in your family? And are you planning to occupy in 2026 with that mindset, always needing people to compliment you just to feel alive? What if they don’t? What if nobody ever tells you that you’re beautiful? Do you think butterflies are told they are beautiful? Yet they are.

You must learn to see the beauty in yourself before others do. See the uniqueness. See the sign and the wonder that you are. If you don’t, you will be abused by people who actually see it, by people who know what you carry. The Israelites thought of onions, but Pharaoh saw something different. He saw builders, people who could work while he rested and drank coffee.

Do you think small-mindedness is humility?

Vanessa Moonkie

Do you think negative thinking will attract mercy or pity from people? Do you think looking down on yourself will produce good results? Think again. Think McCain. I love you. See you on Monday AND PLEASE, do not break God’s heart by doing anything useless this weekend outside the confines of scripture. Don’t be like Esau.

Can someone really occupy through kindness? How so? Is it really possible to be kind and then find yourself in a glorious testimony? Well, I say yes, yes you can. Welcome to the Yielded Center, it’s Worship Wednesday, it’s Hallelujah Challenge, and I hope you have been dancing like King David or Brother Chike, whoever you choose between the two! Let’s go!

The world has taught many people things that are contrary to the Word of God, and some of these teachings have not only torn down society but broken homes as well. People no longer know how to be kind because they are told that kindness is weakness, so they stop, they are told kindness makes you a fool, so they stop, yet when you truly sit and think about it, many of these opinions are designed to steal, kill, and destroy, the very mandate of the enemy.

It does not always come with a hand grabbing something and running away, sometimes it comes subtly, stealing your principles and good character through something as simple as one viral video from an influencer titled Ways to Make You More Attractive, where step one is to have an attitude and be rude, quietly reshaping hearts away from godly values while disguising destruction as confidence and strength.

I know I’m not the only one who has seen the many “steps” the world is dishing out which, if we truly applied them, would leave us without families, friends, jobs, marriages, or even life itself. That is why we do not live according to the standards of the world, they have a lot of complicated stuff . If you are a believer who blogs or shares “steps,” please make sure you are giving godly advice, okaaaay, that’s definitely too long for an introduction 😂 so let’s get into it.

First of all, every believer must be kind, it is not optional. Kindness is the first fruit and proof of love according to Scripture, for love is what? Kind (1 Corinthians 13:4). This means unkind people are unloving. No maths, no equations, simple business. If kindness is absent, love is absent. When the servant of Abraham was searching for a wife for Isaac, his prayer was strikingly simple, the one who would show kindness and go the extra mile by offering water not only to him but also to his camels, that is the one!!! (Genesis 24:12–21) But some of us here, the man came and, anyways let’s continue. It was through that genuine kindness that Rebekah occupied her place in destiny and her marriage.

What about Ruth? Even Boaz said to her, “the whole city knows” how you showed kindness to your mother-in-law (Ruth 3:11), because people always know who is kind and who is not. You can smile a whole hour if you like, people can tell what is fake and what is true. “Call me when you’re in trouble,” trust me, they want to call, they just won’t, because if for 20–24 hours of the day you are unkind, your words carry no safety.

True kindness is shown even in the smallest things, helping someone carry groceries, assisting with a task without expecting payment because when you are genuinely kind, you instinctively know what to do in a situation. It becomes your first response, not a performance, and yes, I have met very unkind people, some even in church. Ehhh nc!

Rudeness, an attitude, a whole bag of coldness then at 3am they cry to God, “Lord, send my destiny helper!” yet what if that helper came and you couldn’t even greet. What if they didn’t arrive in shiny shoes and a suit? What if the sister you ignored in church is the one who knows exactly who could help you.

You see, many people are only kind to those who look like they deserve it. They have people they smile at and compliment, then show bad attitude to others. If you are like that, you are not a kind person because kindness is not selective, and if it were, it is a fruit of love, then Jesus would have saved only the Jews, so understand this, kindness limited to your friends will cost you big doors. We will continue on Friday, go and be kind. Drop that terrible attitude, TODAY.

Many believers struggle to truly occupy through prayer because prayer has become a view once photo for them. Laziness and slumber. Some pray only once in a while, treating prayer like an emergency tool , while others pray one long prayer on a Friday to compensate for silence from Monday to Thursday. Some cannot remember the last prayer they prayed beyond “God bless our food, Amen.” Others only pray within prayer groups and have no personal fellowship with God, using corporate prayer as a crutch to support an un-injured leg.

There are those who pray but their hearts are disconnected, so prayer becomes a religious routine. Others pray like the Pharisees, to be seen and heard by people for their deep groanings amd big words. Some pray without faith or expectation, speaking words they do not believe will produce results, and others pray amiss, driven by wrong motives and unyielded desires. Many have never truly prayed to God at all, they only pray against the enemy, turning prayer into constant warfare without intimacy. They wake up straight to “l binnnnnd!”

Some rely on their grandmother’s or mother’s prayers, believing they can be “bluetooothed” into a relationship with God, while others say one or two lines before sleep or cannot remember the last time they deliberately gave God time yet all of this reveals a generation that wants the fruit of prayer without the discipline, relationship, and devotion that prayer demands. My people, if you want to occupy through prayer, you must pray. There’s literally no other way. To be a lawyer you must study law right? Copy and paste.

I said I’d want us to look at the life of a man who occupied through prayer. I do not make men idols but they can be a great example to others , for us to see that a human being like each of us has truly occupied through prayer. Most of you know this man of God.

This is Pastor Jerry Eze, the convener of Nsppd prayers and the General Overseer of Streams of Joy international. What do you know him for? I bet your answer would be, prayer. What else? Answered and effective prayer. Like I said before, I don’t make any man or woman an idol or a better example than Jesus but we cannot deny the results that this man of God has occupied through prayer. It’s right before our eyes every morning, everyday. We cannot look away from the fact that, what many people think is impossible, “to pray daily” , others are doing it! Is it not Elijah that scripture tells us about?

“Elijah was a man with human frailties, just like all of us, but he prayed and received supernatural answers. He actually shut the heavens over the land so there would be no rain for three and a half years! Then he prayed again and the skies opened up over the land so that the rain came again and produced the harvest.”

‭‭James (Jacob)‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Elijah was not an angel, he was not a creature from another world, he was fully human. If he had the same nature as us, it means he felt sleepy, he got tired, he experienced weakness, and there were moments he probably didn’t feel like praying. He had flesh and blood just like you and me, yet this man prayed. In spite of his humanity, he chose prayer, and through prayer he occupied territory even the weather responded.

Elijah occupied weather seffff. What are you sayiiiiiing?! One man stood before God and altered the climate of a nation, seasons were suspended because a man prayed. There was no autumn, no rain, no cycle as usual because prayer gave one human being authority to shift national patterns. That is the power of prayer when an ordinary person decides to take God seriously. Take your prayer life seriously this year. I have another photo

These are people who came out to pray because a man occupied through prayer. A man took prayer seriously, look at how he has occupied nations. You may not be called to be a pastor , or start a church BUT this is to open your eyes to the endless possibilities if we prayed. Put your phone away and pray. The movie is not running away! Netflix company , I’m sooo sure has a plan to be there even next year. Koreans won’t disappear from the face of the earth. Reels will be there even after an hour. TikTok will not suddenly become inaccessible. Trust me all these companies have a plan to be here for loooong, you can catch up. This year if what will stop you from occupying is the number of hours you spend on your phone, you are an unserious person.

I wrote this on my threads yesterday, a prayer warrior is not a special title. It’s a name we call someone who decided to commit to their prayer life. We make it seem like it’s not achievable by just anyone. It’s not some throne. It is someone who just decided to be serious about prayer. If God opened our eyes to see just what we could’ve achieved if we prayed, some of us would throw a fit. The many “God why’s” are actually supposed to be answered by us. Why have you not prayed? Is your life fine the way it is?

People of God, we must pray. The territories are filled with spirits, they won’t listen to “in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches!” They will listen to men and women who have build capacity. Those are the ones known in the spirit . That demon was not having it! It beat 7 men! 7! The number of perfection 😂! 1 against 7! Even John Cena has never. Maybe Jackie Chan in kungfu. 😂 let me be serious.

Commit to a prayer life exactly the way you commit to bathing your body (we all bath here right? Cos I don’t want to hear any stories) . The same way you shake when you haven’t eaten , shake when you haven’t prayed and go pray. The same way you want to look presentable in the flesh, look presentable in the spirit. There are spaces you will never occupy by just having a good CV. You won’t occupy by just having a degree, you can have twenty if you like! Wear that big hat to the meeting and put all the Fenty make up in the world. They won’t give you a second thought.

People out there pray to their gods and have occupied through dark means so nobody will shift for you because you speak good English and bought a new shoe for the interview. Please! Get up and pray. Let it be part of your daily life. Let it be part of you! Remember, it’s not impossible. We just have to be serious! Let’s continue tomorrow, I love you but get praying or you will lose where you are supposed to win.
