Delays are not denials.

1. My rant to God.

I’m learning how to complain more to you, maybe “complain isn’t the right word but rather how to voice out my concerns so that I don't get overwhelmed. Growing up in a family of six children, I realized that the sibling who complained the most always got the most attention, albeit unpleasant sometimes😳. Nonetheless, my good good father I need your attention.

So here are my complaints to you my Father: 

I’m exhausted from trying to do things on my own. I need a destiny helper.

I’m exhausted from not getting a sound sleep in years.

I’m exhausted from changing diapers way longer than most mothers I know.

I can no longer continue this way God ... therefore I’m releasi g my children unto you . They are your heritage , your word says that the fruit of the womb is your reward. 


2.  God’s response.

Here is the response from God while praying the next day “Delays are not Denials.”  He opened my eyes to read the story of Lazarus and Joseph in the Bible. God also encouraged me to read more about predestination: Jeremiah 1:5 and John 15:16. God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.

I want to learn patience and perseverance. 

I want to learn how to communicate with you more.

I need your spirit of discernment.

As messy as this writeup is, I had to share this to encourage all supermoms with AUsome children, although it may be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it is definitely there. Prayer based on the word of God, Perseverance by clothing ourselves in strength and dignity and lastly, growing in Patience are the key to our breakthrough.

Always 💕💕💕 on my mind,

Tejuola.

Faith: Believing is Seeing

I never really understood the difference between faith and belief until recently. I had always assumed faith was just the biblical way of saying belief, but I have come to realize that it is much more than that. You see, in my opinion, belief can simply be quantified as a Yes/No variable i.e, you either believe or you don’t.   However, faith adds another layer to believing. It’s all about how committed you are to what you believe. It is a continuous variable of which quantity matters, the question with faith is not if you have faith or not, it’s how much of it do you have?  Faith is always active while belief can be passive. You can believe in something and stay on the sidelines, but with faith, you can’t help but be involved, it takes effort on one’s part to get a larger quantity of it. “Talk is cheap” they say, I say belief is cheap. This point was well captured in the book of James 2:19, when it says that even the Devil believes that there is one God. To put it differently,...

Hope is not a strategy, it is a goal!

There is a saying that “Hope is not a plan” and I totally agree. I say it is an end result, a goal. Hope doesn't just happen. A lot of work is required to keep hope alive.  One of my favourite scriptures still remains Romans 15:13, it reinforces my belief about hope, it gives the recipe for hope as maintaining your joy and peace. Once you find what brings you joy and peace, create a plan to maintain those two at all costs on a daily basis. I find joy in knowing that regardless of what my AUsome son might not yet be able to do at his age, he will be alright. My plan is to make sure that he is trying his best at all times and that he is happy...life is short. I also find peace in living in the moment. The plan is to appreciate and love him for who he is and not who he should be. I’m very intentional about feeding my faith and starving my fear. Worry and fear of things that may never happen used to cost me my peace, I command my mind to think about whatever is true, noble, right, pure...
