Celebrating One Year of The Yielded Center 🎈

Praissssssse The Lord! I remember writing my notes first blog on the 9th of January 2024. God had told me to start earlier but anxiety and fear whispered, “Nobody will read.” So, l delayed. When l finally started, everyday felt like a battle. Ah, my first blog, ‘Let’s get started!’ … I think there was about 90 readers, but it was all people’s curiosity because the next day we dropped to 11. Maybe even 8 because the other 3 were probably me checking for typos LOL!

Fast forward a year, and l cannot believe how many people read these blogs. He turned my, “Lord what if no one reads this?” into “Wow they’re actually reading!” that too, from different parts of the world. From the bottom of my heart, l praise the Lord! I am so grateful guys. Thank you for showing up and supporting my dream. If you were not showing up to read, there’d be no Yielded Center. OKKKKAYYY Lets look at our statistics!!!

This is what The Lord has done!!!!! And just like that, The Yielded Center is one year old! Who would’ve thought we’d make it this far—certainly not me when I was staring at my first blog post, wondering if anyone besides me would read it. But look at God!

To everyone who’s been here—whether you read daily or here and there —thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to more blogs, more growth, and more moments of ‘Lord, what am I even doing?’ followed by ‘Oh, You’re doing it, Lord!’

I hope this encourages you to start. To do what The Lord has said you should do. Press the start button and run with the vision.

Stay yielded, stay blessed, and let’s do it all again next year!”

“And Mary sang this song: “My soul is ecstatic, overflowing with praises to God!”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭46‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Compliments of the new season my thoroughly loved Yielded Family. It feels so good to be back here- and not just that but stepping into a brand-new year filled with divine possibilities. I don’t know about you, but there’s a distinct stirring in my spirit about 2025. This is not just another year; this is THAT year. The year when many will finally sit at the table prepared for them in the presence of their enemies [Ps23:5]. The year when the long, seemingly endless wait will suddenly make sense as we realize we’ve been gaining divine speed all along, just like how Elijah outran the chariots of Ahab. [1Kings18:46].

Now, l know what you might be thinking, ” It’s just New Year’s optimism, we say these things every January.” But if you’ve tuned into the frequency of the Spirit, you can feel it too. You don’t need to be hyped up, you know what you know. The promises spoken over us for many years are on the verge of manifestation, and this year carries a tangible sense of breakthrough.

So, let’s step into the year with faith, ALIGNMENT, and bold expectancy. Get ready to feast in the presence of those who mocked you, laughed at you, and thought you’d never become anything. I know people who have been waiting for years, Abraham and Sarah did too. The mystery about waiting is that while we wait, we no longer need to rely on our feet, we grow supernatural wings and fly. This means, in the spirit, waiting is speed.

Anyhoooo, l have exciting news to share with you! Tomorrow, The Yielded Blog center turns ONE! Andddd within this year we have given birth to two other babies. Be sure to be here tomorrow, let’s reflect on this journey together. Tomorrow is a birthday/baby shower lol! I really hope you have told all your friends that this year we are reading Yielded Blogs whether they’re in Tokyo, Thorngrove or Thembisa, send them the links!

So, join us bright and early tomorrow because we are having a Yielded HOLY bash! I will show up kingdom time because we all know every African suffers from African time syndrome.

Love you loads! Happy 2025 Yielded People!!!
