Hey family. Do you have your Christmas clothes yet? We are literally 5 days away and your sister still doesn’t even have a cap. Even a vest. I’m saying, even a shoelace to say aii maybe the shoe is coming. Nothing LOL. Growing up, my family used to be biggggg on Christmas and New Year’s Day. You would get a full outfit from underwear to shoe, l promise you. Stylish fashon. Every child had two outfits and mind you, we couldn’t wear them until the day finally arrives. So, you can imagine the anticipation. You would just keep going to check if the clothes are still in the wardrobe, still fresh. I didn’t know that one day it would be my responsibility to buy them for myself. Yho Santaaaaaa if l meet you once like thisss …….. l will dye your beard blue.
Anyhooooo, its chilled Thursday. I am literally chilled today. I want to watch a movie. I love animations because now everything else aii they kiss after every five seconds. I must protect my prophetic eagle dimensional eyes. Ooh shall we do Yielded men’s edition in January? I’m excited.
Ok, let me suggest a movie. Click the link below to watch
Itsssssssssssss Wednesdayyyy! I love Wednesdays. Ok l love Sundays too. And Mondays. I love being alive AND WELL. The past couple of days l haven’t been feeling well so l am very grateful for restored health. You know, life is such a gift. So very precious. I am sure many of you have seen or watched the video of the gruesome murder of the young lady from South Africa. Not to sound like the newspaper but maaaaaaan that was more than evil. It got me to think deeply about life. Life is precious guys. What’s more, the importance of having a godly community around you.
While we may look at the 2024 vision boards and maybe 6/12 prayer points are still pending, while we murmur and complain about manna, while we fuss day and night talking about ‘Lord when?’ darling, we are actually ALIVE! When l opened my Instagram this morning and saw that man with blood all over his body, someone’s blood, it pierced my heart so much. It literally changed my day. I realized that the word of God is such a need in our communities. The same way people need water and electricity. A desperate neeeeeeed. There are arrows that fly by day. There is pestilence that stalks in darkness. Eiii Read your Psalm 91 and see just how God shields us daily.
I am grateful for you. Yes you. Honestly, we have so many reasons to give thanks. It takes nine months to give birth to a child, that’s the normal span but death is cheap. Give thanks. You that has even stopped talking to God because you are upset about money, or a man, or a job , my dhiye if l katch you! And this is to remind believers, do not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. Let me take it a step further by saying, do not enter into any relationship without the approval of God. You might be single right now and well excited to marry but hear God first, okay? Pray about it all. Listen, no matter how good the person looks. Tall even with bass zero voice, pray. Even if the lady has the most coca cola body that has ever coca cola’d, pray. Let the God who has seen the future decide for you. It’s craaaaazy out here!!!
Listen to this clip below and then find a song to give praise to the Lord. Remember on Wednesdays we show David that even ussss!Even me o!

Happy Fridaaaaay , how are you? How’s your heart? How do you feel? How’s your mind? Okay, racing, steady? Would you rate it 50% , 80? Or a little over 90? Let’s try regulating your emotions a bit ;
Be conscious and in this moment right now . Say , “Help me Holy Spirit.”
Now breathe in and hold it for 5 seconds and breathe out. Say , “Help me to trust You Lord.”
Breathe in again and hold for 10 seconds then breathe out. Say ,”God is my ever present help in times of trouble.”
Now drop your shoulders , unclench your jaws, hear yourself breathing then say , “Lord l know You are here with me. Hug me. I need it today.”
Laugh in the spirit for a bit. You don’t need any joke. Just laugh.
Okay now let’s get into it! What a year it has been for us believers. The spiritual side of it was giving David and Goliath. Honestly I felt like my Goliath was two in one. Two Goliaths in one Goliath. The Giant of all Giants that have ever Gianted. The soldier in me ran out of bullets. The David in me had a squint 😣😬 so the stones hit elsewhere BUT the giant. That’s how I know l made it thus far by grace. The spiritual attacks were on another level my dhiyerest. At some point I was slacking in my prayer life, literally falling asleep on duty. Imagine a watchman that’s sleepy. Yho x 789!
One area where I reaaaalllly grew is the area of fasting. This is the first year of my life where I was fasting and not cheating . I didn’t even want to. I have never been excited to fast tbh because I love food and I believe food and l have a good relationship. Yeah not like you and the young man. 😂 okay let me be serious. This year l intentionally wanted to, l did it and I’m so glad l allowed God to stretch me in that regard. So if you see me looking all skinny just praise the Lord and leave me alone. What about you? The fact that you just giggled 🤭 let’s try again next year shall we?
My Bible Peopleeeeee!!! Did we keep to the planned routines of bible study? Or were you on fire on Monday then Wednesday you read messages on WhatsApp but the Bible? Zero. So for me, I have a tendency of re reading some books before I read others. I could re read say maybe Corinthians and yet I still have Hebrews to read. It’s good for understanding but I do it from a bias point and ITS GOT TO CHANGEEEEEE! How’s your studies been? If you only relied on you version to send you one verse a day my dhiye we listen and we GEORGE! We must jodge!
Did you go to church at all in 2024? Or are you still part of the “God knows my heart , l worship from home,” team? You do know that there’s a verse that says to not forsake the gathering of believers right? That some have gotten into the habit of doing so. The same way people get into the habit of lying and stealing etcetera is the same way some have gotten into the habit of missing church and making excuses of God knows my heart. He does. Oh He surely does but He also knows His word. Do you? Many people who dodge church are actually dodging authority. They don’t want to be told what to do. They don’t want to submit anywhere. If you were hurt in the church, understand that carrying it all your life will never help you even if you they actually did it to you. I am sorry it happened to you. Very sorry. But darling, for how long will you use this weapon that has turned from pain to bitterness? God has an address and it’s not your house. Selah.
Reading Yielded Blogs! Yes l said it. You know sometimes people come to me for advice and I’m like ,”I literally just posted a blog that could help you with that.” People just don’t wanna read even if there was a salary for it. The keys to breakthrough are found in words. That’s why you go to school. That’s why it’s called THE WORD OF GOD. Words! If you hate reading you hate life. But also you don’t hate reading bc you read paragraphs from your boyfriend and girlfriend mos. Telling you many many things that won’t take you to heaven. Ai let me leave you.
Do you listen to sermons? Or it’s amapiano or nothing. Even your ears don’t understand anything else but the pians. 😂 Sermons have helped me. YouTube comes in handy.. Next week I will list my favourite preachers and sermons maybe they’ll also help you. I found that when I listen to sermons , by the time I want to start praying I’m already fired up. On days when I don’t, I’m even lazy to open my mouth. The word fuels us to pray. Anyhoo, I am just grateful that l started the year as a believer and I will finish it as one. I’m not counted among the lost and I’m so glad! Isn’t it great?! We had our share of persecution but we are still ABBA’s children. Here’s a verse before you say ehhh we read and we didn’t even see one verse
“My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,” Galatians 4:19 NKJV
We keep pushing. Until Christ is formed in us! You can listen to this song and meditate
“God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I got my act together, he gave me a fresh start. Now I’m alert to God’s ways; I don’t take God for granted. Every day I review the ways he works; I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together, and I’m watching my step. God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.” Psalms 18:20-24 MSG
Are you aware that God is still God? You may think or feel like nothing much happened for you this year but do you know how many times the devil tried to take you out but couldn’t because GOD IS STILL GOD? How about the times when you thought you’d perish because the persecution was too much but you’re still here! Just think about it, really selah, hasn’t the Lord been good to you? Honestly we don’t need to be in a mansion to see this. We don’t need to be holding a million dollars (that’d be great though Holy Spirit – hint hint) to finally see that the Lord is good! We don’t have to be in those cutesy pyjamas for us to see that God is good! He is good , was good and will always be good.
I saw some of your playlists on Spotify, put Beyoncé aside for a bit and let’s praise the Lord. “I am just jamming.” Ai ai relax. Time that we should be using to give thanks you’re using to get emotional with songs that open doors for the spirit of lust and depression. You start triggering unforgiveness from an ex because you listened to some love song by whoever. We see we judge. We listen we judge . 😂 I just laughed so hard saying that. Okay I’m not judging anyone but Yho you guys also. 😂 And you pick the ones that stick to your brain , the whole week you’re humming that song but gospel songs you sing wrong lyrics , it’s not right 😂😂 anyways let me leave you because you’ll start saying “They judge us.”
I don’t even want to start with pianos. That’s when you have dance moves. We play any praise song , you just chill. No it’s fine. Actually it’s not but eh. 😂 Let me stop playing and plug you into glory filled songs. But yeah guys, praise the Lord. Personally, I know that I’d be so dead right now because the attacks I go through in a year by just leading mpg eeiii! So no one will shout my shout oooo! No one will dance my dance! I WILL PRAISE AND WORSHIP THE LORD MY GOD!
