Heys and hies!!! Everyweek, when we get to Friday Iām like ohhh we are really growing , you know, consistency is something that builds systems and learning to apply it takes a lot more than knowing what to write. It takes dedication, winning the battle of laziness , procrastination and just feeling like what if what Iām doing isnāt helping anyone ? What if this is just one other website that will eventually shush after a while? What if Iām not even writing things that make sense? Itās a whole lot of things to consider when taking up a new ministry or project but what stirs the gift and strengthens it is simply showing up!! Iām glad Iāve been showing up for a little over a month now! Praise Jesus! HAPPY NEW MONTH MY BELOVED FAM!
Since the first day of the March fell on a reflection Friday howās about we reflect on the whole month of February. How was it for you? What things stood out for you? Any testimonies? What was the constant battle? Can you say for sure that your mind was yielded to Holy Spirit?
Looking back, what would you have done differently? Answer the questions below . These are not questions you answer with speed.Selah
This is what the Lord Almighty says: āGive careful thought to your ways.ā āāHaggai⬠ā1ā¬:ā7⬠āNIVā¬ā¬
Yesssss! It is our chilled Thursday! On this day we grab our popcorn and watch some movies or sermons! Did you guys watch the Esther movie last week? I loved it! My top 2 is The Pilgrim Progress and Esther .. I love watching Christian content because I donāt have to worry about scenes that create a sinful images in my mind. My cousin was asking me why I donāt watch movies with them , itās because part of my consecration is to keep away from things that disturb my eyes and end up sitting on my spirit like a heavy rock. Itās hard to pray after watching all that! That being said, I do not watch horror movies!
Itās not even about struggling with stuff, itās about guarding your eyes such that even a seed of evil cannot be planted. If you always watch movies where people take off panties, youāll take off your panties soon enough. There are vibrations in everything you listen to and watch! They create a spiritual energy or tension that demands expression in the life of the one who beholds it. Drug people listen to a certain kind of music, so do alcoholics, it creates a mood that goes with the habit.
As a believer, Iām intentional about watching movies. I never used to think it matters , but it does. Some friends of mine were wondering why I watch cartoons or animations, itās because I will not hear one cuss word after another, itās obvious, you become what you behold and thatās why we are taught to fix our gaze on Jesus so that we become like Him! Youāre that sexually active because you even set your eyes in sexually arousing content. Guard your eyes! Youāve no business being entertained by all that as a believer! It may look exciting but it is a destiny killer because soon, you will act out everything theyāre āfakingā on tv . Their fake will become your reality! Okayyyyyy! Now that Iāve typed all that, Iāve given you time to prepare the popcorn!
Chilled Thursday!!!
Remember to share your reviews !! Letās go! ā¤ļøāš„
Firstly, I just wanna remind you that God loves YOU!
Worship is how we communicate our love to God. It is done by GOD LOVERS! People of intimacy! The ones who arenāt in it for daily bread only but for His very heart. God cannot be found in the flesh and thatās why the bible says He is seeking, He desires, He is looking , He longs, for those who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Not everyone is doing it thatās why He is looking for such a people! Worship done in the flesh is a waste of time! This is how we sing songs, do all the āworship actsā of lifting hands but we never connect to the heart of God because we ignore the part of āSpirit and truth!ā WE CANNOT WORSHIP GOD HOWEVER WE WANT, there is a template! There is a guideline, there is a way into the holy of holies , we donāt enter by singing emotional songs, we enter by worship in Spirit and truth! Ask Him today, āLord teach me how to worship You!ā Because there are things we will carry over to the other side, worship is one of them!!
āFrom now on, worshiping the Father will not be a matter of the right place but with a right heart. For God is a Spirit, and he longs to have sincere worshipers who adore him in the realm of the Spirit and in truth.āā

āEvery part of you is so beautiful, my darling. Perfect is your beauty, without flaw within.ā āāSong of Songs⬠ā4ā¬:ā7⬠āTPTā¬ā¬
Some months ago my friends and l were watching a YouTube video of a lady who did a āChristian bblā which is a surgery people do to be a number 8, get the hips, the breasts , the waist , all that. We had a conversation about it and l remember one of my friends asking this question, what is the purpose? What is the motive? Why? I believe many people donāt feel beautiful or handsome so deep down they struggle with confidence. While itās something trivial to others , others are depressed because they donāt look a certain way.
The traditional stereotype is that young women are more concerned about their appearance than young men. Societal pressures, media images, and doting relatives saying how pretty a female child looks all have an impact. But how serious an impact can it have on our wellbeing and our mental health? And just how much does our body image trouble us as we get older? How much of the trends affect how we believe scripture when it says WE ARE āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø
One in eight (13%) adults experienced suicidal thoughts or feelings because of concerns about their body image according to UK statistics. Globally, the prevalence of body shaming was found to be in the range ofĀ 25 to 35 percent. Some are either affected by bullying or inner conflict. This is why we need to yield our minds to the Holy Spirit because He brings truth to destroy the lies of the enemy, the devil says if your picture is not liked on Instagram youāre ugly! That is a lie! Peopleās likes on social media do not rate your beauty! Peopleās opinions do not override the what the Word of God says about you!
People who feel insecure about themselves usually project it on others. Don’t rub off your insecurities on other people. If you have a problem with your pimples don’t go to those who don’t have a problem with theirs and plant a seed of low self esteem. Best believe, they already know they have them. The mirror told them. If you are not confident about your weight don’t be saying stuff like āoh you’re fatā to people who are confident with their weight. The scale told them. Theyāre very much aware. Don’t rub off your negativity on people. If you find people positive in whatever they do, respect that. Donāt tell people about things youād crash if they told you! Words carry so much weight! They sow seeds of many wicked thoughts! Basically, stay in your lane. Focus on what matters, thereās no reason why you should be focusing on someoneās skin when you can focus on prayer. I used to be that person but Holy Spirit called me out saying , āYou are making many people cry because of your careless words! Nobody wants to hear it from you that they are skinny, they know.
DO NOT BREAK OTHER PEOPLE because YOU ARE BROKEN”
Remember, you are rated āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø
āGod surveyed all he had made and said, āI love it!ā For it pleased him greatly. Genesis⬠ā1ā¬:ā31⬠āTPTā¬ā¬
Happy Monday lovelies! As we are learning how to yield our minds to Holy Spirit, I want us to deal with the topic of depression that comes from how you value yourself – your image. Growing up, I was skinny, hated my nose and forehead, didnāt like the fact that my hair was a kinkier Afro and Valerieās natural hair would fall on her shoulders so beautifully. I wasnāt happy about many things on my body, why do I look like this and not like that? Now because we had a lot of magazines at home, I always thought , l should look a certain way to be accepted by people – I didnāt know – all l needed to do was to accept myself why? because when He created me, He said , āthis is good!ā I love the TPT version that I quoted above, He said āI love it!ā
Note that God said that after a survey! He looked closely at creation, at you and l and said, āI LOVE IT!ā If God loves the way I look, how dare I dislike it? God placed value on His creation by giving His review so that kills every other societal review instantly! Do you believe you are beautiful? So beautiful you outshine the stars! That you are so handsome God is like WOW my son really is fearfully and wonderfully made? See, itās either this truth or the lie that says , āIām not that beautifulā According to what and whose standards? The answer is the – world not the WORD!
Beauty is created, value is placed. So thatās why wordly beauty standards seem to keep evolving because man is creative, man wants to keep manifesting ideas that are better than the last , itās new edition of this, better than the last edition of that . When it comes to value, God has already placed it. Meaning even if one man arises and says man is nothing, he is already a liar! If one woman rises and says , mankind can be boxed in one with animals, they lie! Why? Because the value of man is not something anyone has the liberty to create, note, liberty not ability. We can be able to say but we are not at liberty , we do not have the right to say whatever we want , a review has already been passed . This means that all who devalue man-kind are already in direct conflict with God. Stay away from such people!
Many people commit suicide because someone passed a review on what they didnāt create. People are depressed because they donāt have the curves their friends have, they lock themselves up, cooking themselves in creams because they donāt match the standards of one silly boy! Canāt we see? Donāt we get it? We are already valued! We are already reviewed with 5 stars! āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø just like how you check for reviews when shopping online! You donāt have to scroll when it comes to me, the comment that matters is above, IT SAYS HE LOVED IT! Vanessa, God loves how you look! The greatness of that statement! God placed value on me when l was just but dust!
I am a loved product. So what if my nose is bigger than yours, we came from the same God! So what if you have a darker skin, it doesnāt mean you are excluded from the sacrifice of the cross! I had to learn to stop commenting on peopleās looks because I was projecting my weak self image on them. Oh this topic is gonna be longish but we must change the mindset! Starting with your mindset towards you! If I catch you saying youāre ugly? I will call you out! If I hear you say youāre useless, I will really call you out! Your language! You cannot be depressed because of hips! They will not matter in heaven! They surely donāt matter to many people, people are too stressed about economy to worry about number 8 or whether you are yellow or pink!
Now Read the review again! Letās meet tomorrow! Remember, youāre āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø
