What’s not fixed will worsen

🌼Hey family. Happy Monday 🌼

I’ve been slowing down a bit lately to give myself a likkle ease just enough to manage fatigue and avoid burnout. BUT hallelujah, I’m back in the groove and rhythm! Thank you all so much for the book purchases, I’m deeply grateful for your support.

I truly believe that every person, regardless of race, gender, or religion, needs support whether from family, friends, community, church, or religious groups. Every person desires support, but even more than desire, we need it. I’m so glad I got yours. That means the world. It’s special and these days, quite rare. 💛.

Just a short blog to start your week.

What is not fixed is highly likely to worsen.Be it a problem in a relationship, an illness, an issue with your laptop system, a tear on your favourite dress, or an electrical problem in your apartment what is not fixed or treated will worsen.What this means is: every problem left unsolved becomes a worsening problem, with the potential of becoming the worst problem.

Now, in the context of our lives, the many things we “ignore” will sooner or later pop up with even more intensity. Something like depression, anxiety, past pains… a sore knee… or even an issue you could easily sort out now but you postpone it to a date unknown.Do you know that in five years, that unforgiveness could turn into anger and resentment? Yep. It grows too. That apology you owe someone why not do it now? If it’s not fixed, the relationship will break. Some issues don’t disappear, they silently worsen. You think it’s sorted but it’s growing muscle.

Every rising issue that is kept under the blanket yes, even that bad character trait everyone keeps warning you about, will grow. And you’ll give the enemy room to capitalise on it. All I’m saying today is: fix it! It’s not scriptural, but I can’t help but wonder did Ananias and Sapphira already have a lying problem? And did it grow until they lied to the Holy Spirit?

That person who thinks lust and pornography will just remain at the level they’re at? No, darling. Some people never made it out they made it in deeper. Neck deep. The issue of alcohol? Solve it now. Because later might be too late. Everything grows. Appetites too.

I wrote on my status last week that, if a person wants to avoid transformation, they start by lying to themselves that they don’t need it; then they avoid everyone who they may be accountable to. This means that many people have isolated with their problems and they think they are safe because the person to call you out has been blocked or you started distancing yourself. You are not safe. Day by day, every moment that passes, that thing you’re refusing to address , is addressing you. You don’t want to find out later, find out now, fix it now.

Like l said, I came with a short blog to tell you, get counselling if need be. Get help. Fix the things. Deal with the problem. Running will not stop the storm Jonah. Face the facts, you must go to Nineveh. And some of you, need to stop and face God. He’s the One you’re running from and you don’t realise, it’s killing your spiritual life day by day. Why? Everything that’s not fixed ????? Exactly.

Have a great Monday. Order your book today and let’s get reading!

6 months in!

We are officially 6 months in! I still have a list of to-do’s but I’m most grateful for the gift of life. Life is a gift. Without it, all those 55 things you planned to do this year are useless. You must be alive to do, to plan, to build, to create, to even accumulate that wealth you dream about or that wonderful kingdom spouse. I feel like we easily downplay the fact that right now, our hearts are beating and in this every moment, we have a chance to do what we’ve never done before. You have a chance to dream, to envision and to put that into action. 6 months in, what has been accomplished?

People hate that question. Sometimes it’s because it demands an answer for time that may have been carelessly spent. It calls us out on our laziness & procrastinations. Sometimes it’s because people just don’t like confrontation. I’ve since discovered that confrontation is necessary for growth. If you were sick and went to the doctor and he gave you medication to take for a couple of days. You go back after you’re done with the medication and he asks you, “Did you take the medication? How are you feeling?” Would it be wise for you to get agitated and refuse to answer? No. Why? Because the answer you give will give him an idea of how to help you further. We need some questions even though they seem to make us uncomfortable. How have you spent your time the past 6months?

Now let me promote my book 😂 you need to get a copy. It’ll help you in wise time spending. Each copy is R150 and it’s both in hardcopy & ebook. The next 6 months of your life will be different, I promise you. Those of you who have a copy, it’s not just to support me, read that book. Don’t shelf it and then go and waste time. We have many books that are in our possession that if we just read, we’d be better than yesterday.

To purchase a copy please contact me or just comment below. Remember, the same way you spent the first 6 months can repeat itself if you don’t change somethings. I wish you all the best!

Reflection Friday

l look at myself in the mirror DAILY! Even when I’m not going anywhere. I tone my face in the mirror, oh l even brush my teeth in the mirror, I don’t know why? You do it too don’t you? I know you do. I just know it!

Can I be real with you for a moment? Most days, I’m in front of the mirror. But on the days I have to leave the house? Oh, I go all in checking everything. Hair? Perfect. Foundation? Blended to the T. Brows? Twins, not distant cousins. Earrings? Symmetrical and shining. I even double-check my outfit from every angle. But on days when I know I’m not going anywhere? I honestly couldn’t care less. Hair in a mess? That’s fine. No makeup? Not a problem. Why? Because no one’s going to see me anyway.

I’ll let you sit with that for a moment. Wanna take a guess where I’m going with this? Now here’s the real question: Why do we put in all the extra effort only when we know someone’s watching?

You’d probably say, “Well, I want to be presentable.” You want to fit into the room, to carry yourself well, to not show up at work with wild hair or crusty lips (buy lip balm please) And honestly, I get it. Like my apostle always says: “Dress for the occasion.” And I agree!

I still don’t understand what morning slippers are doing at the mall at 4 PM but hey let’s not go there today. 😅 Here’s the thing though…We go all out to look a certain way in front of others, but we rarely keep that same energy for ourselves. Sweetheart this isn’t about make up, installations and good trims. This is what we do emotionally too.

We wear a facade of strength, hiding heaviness behind smiles just to impress people or appear “put together.” Some of those emotional “looks” hide what we’ve left unfixed for years. Not because we couldn’t, but because we weren’t intentional, for ourselves.

Heal for you. Let go of the anger for you. Work on your heart not to make people think you’re an Angel , but because you matter. Be just as intentional with your heart as you are with your skincare routine. Be just as extra with your mind as you are with that one pair of shoes that must match the outfit perfectly.

Do it for you.

Not the rushed, surface-level healing that happens just because a partner shows up and now we want to “prove” we’re happy. No. This is about deep, lasting, quiet healing that happens even when no one’s watching.As we reflect today, take sometime in the mirror. What it shows you either deserves an applause or fix. Do both, for you.
I love you 🩷

The courage to step out

Helloooo everyone. I hope your week is going well so far! Thank you so much for all the support and book purchases, I’m truly grateful. If you haven’t yet grabbed your copy, I’ve linked the details below so you can get your e-book or PDF online. You can also share the link with friends, or get a direct copy from me using the details I shared yesterday. For PayPal, the email is yieldedcwcenter@gmail.com. And for those who ordered physical copies, your books will be delivered tomorrow morning. Thank you again for the love and support!

Now, onto today’s blog…

Today I want to talk about courage, the kind of courage that Peter had when he stepped out of the boat.

Yes, Peter may have begun to sink. Yes, Jesus said he had little faith. But I still applaud him because out of twelve people, he was the only one who dared to try. He had never walked on water before, but he believed that because Jesus was doing it, he could too. When Peter said, “Lord, if it’s You, bid me come,” and Jesus said, “Come,” that was all he needed. The thought alone, to do what Jesus was doing, required faith. To dream BIG! It showed a heart that believed the impossible was possible through Christ.

What about the other eleven? Maybe they were watching. Maybe they wanted to believe. But they stayed seated, perhaps thinking, This is only for Jesus. But Jesus wasn’t modelling something unattainable, He was actually showing them possibilities. One where walking on water wasn’t out of reach, where healing the sick and doing mighty works was possible through the power of God.

If you’re someone with big dreams like me, I dey dream ohhhhh! I’m a serious day dreamer even. Those God-sized dreams. Maybe no one around you is doing it. Maybe it seems unheard of. But if God has shown you the vision, then the possibility already exists. If God says you can walk on water, you can walk on water. If He says go out two by two and heal the sick, then that is what we are to do.

Even if no one else around you has seen it happen, you can be the first to step out. Why? Because God’s power backs you. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you and quickens your mortal body (Romans 8:11). That same Spirit, the breath of the Almighty gives you understanding (Job 32:8). You already have the divine capacity within you to do great and mighty things.

The Bible says in Daniel 11:32, “But the people who know their God shall be strong and do exploits.” That means if we know God, we should be doing great things. So, why aren’t we? Often, it’s fear. But the Word reminds us that God’s perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). If fear is holding us back, perhaps it’s time to revisit God’s love, His power, and His promises. NOW Step out of the boat!

So today, be encouraged. You don’t need the crowd to step out. The eleven may still be sitting, but you? You can put your foot out and begin to walk. Move in faith. Move with courage. Move because Jesus said, “Come.” See you at the top! ❤️
