Dear Tyla: Recent Episodes
Dear Tyla (Binga)
This is a podcast of my discussions with Tyla. Tyla is just an alias for all the listeners of this podcast. We get to discuss topics on Faith, General Life Issues and have some Musical moments together
In this inspiring episode, we explore the profound journey of dreaming with God and how it transforms our lives. Join us as we delve into the essence of walking with God, a path that requires unwavering faith and deep conviction. Discover how to hold on to your dreams, even when faced with doubt and uncertainty. We'll share heartfelt stories, practical insights, and spiritual wisdom to empower you to trust in God's plan and embrace your divine purpose. Tune in to strengthen your faith and ignite your conviction to pursue the dreams that God has placed in your heart.
Most dreams start off with the end in mind and as much as that can build anticipation and hope it can become very discouraging along the line. Many of us have been static in life because all we need to get there doesn't seem readily available. As real as that may seem the truth is that everythibg we need to get started is never far from us. It may not be the best but it will definitely get the job done. In this episode we discuss the value of discerning what is in Front Of You
Success is a feeling and an experience we all wish to have. We all love to have that taste of glory, celebration and recognition. It's something we should aspire to experience. As good as success is, it can become our greatest enemy and undoing. It's amazing that our success can be the reason why we don't succeed further. In this episode we discuss how to get the best out of success.
Everyone of us must have experienced one level of disappointment whether if it were personally or from others. It's one experience that can wreck the best of us. Many people get lost in the pool of disappointment and some never recover. Every storm has a way of being Navigated. There is a way out if you know the way and have the will. In this episode I share some of the disappointments I have experienced and how God pulled me through
Having the loyalty of people is one of the most precious gifts we can get from people but should we also have shared enemies? Should we inherit the enemies of our friends or should we end up choosing sides irrespective of circumstances? In this episode we discuss what it means to be a mediator and the key to preserving relationships.
So I was preparing to record an episode this evening and it just dawned on me that Dear Tyla will be 3 years tomorrow! It's been an amazing journey and one with many lessons learned. In this episode I share a few that can help you in your own endeavour.
Being a believer is one tough journey. Many times we feel that our allegiance to God exempt us from some certain things but in reality it makes us even bigger targets. Also there is this thought that being saved absolves us from every responsibility. The truth remains that the Lord delivers us from the the burdens of life by not only taking away the issues but I stilling His own demands on our lives! In this episode we delve in to the reality of our faith walk
Life is lived by references. Whatever you magnify becomes your reality. Faith is not just built on knowledge but on the emphasis of a particular conviction. Every aspect of life has a corresponding example and it is your responsibility to choose the one that you desire
In life we may go through seasons where we doubt the validity of our dreams and passions. In those times we begin to feel that we probably made mistakes or God isn't interested in our own lives. In this episode I share a very personal story and also a testimony that God has not forgotten any promise He made. I hope you find encouragement to believe again!
It's been a while that I shared anything on Dear Tyla. So much has happened and I've decided to share... Here is a bit of my heart.
There are so many voices in this world. So many people have a lot to say and suggest. In such a world as ours it's very possible that we tilt towards believing the opinion of people but what is most important is our convictions. Every opinion is a suggestion that has the potential to be wrong. We must define what our convictions are because they ultimately define our decisions and they in turn define our reality.
Jesus you love me too much oooo... I'm sure you know the response already. Excess Love is such a beautiful song by Minister Mercy Chinwo. I remember how it trended for a certain period and oh my it blessed us. People deserve love in lavish amounts but can we love people too much that it hurts them and damages them? It's important to remember that love has many dimensions and one of it is discipline and restraint. In this episode we discuss how to avoid living people in excess.
It takes a lot to get me to live someone but in this episode I share a very deep secret that would probably get me married soon enough and hopefully some of us can use the same principles for ourselves... This episode is a fun one though
How many times have you fallen in love? How many X's do you have? For some of us our past relationships had good moments while for others, our past relationships were dreadful. In this episode we talk about the necessity of dealing with the past, both and good and bad and how ignoring it can wreck a beautiful experience
Happy Valentines Day to you all... So I don't have a Val but decided to come up with a fake Val story... Ente into my world of imaginations...
Have you ever asked someone out by mistake? Here is my story of how this happened and it's pretty hilarious. Imagine the many things we miss out on just because we are not bold enough to ask.
In this episode I share about my Culture and some of its peculiarities. In turn I discuss how our culture shapes our identity.
If there is one thing I have come to realise causes the greatest level of disappointment is when you don't get the results you desire from a thing. The truth is if we consistently depend on results to motivate us we may struggle to be consistent in our dealings. There must be something greater to fuel our passion in life and that is purpose. In this episode we share why purpose is so important and why it should be prioritised over results
In this episode we discuss the reality that Heaven truly helps men. As it is important for us to live right and do right there may be times that we act out of order. In such moments we feel guilty reaching out to the Father but our solution lies in running to him.
Being a fan of super hero movies one of the many powers seen in them is the ability to deflect bullets or stop them from penetrating heros. This is a truly great ability and one that we can use in our personal lives. In this episode we discuss developing tough skin in this new year so that the world around you doesn't affect you in anyway...
Have you ever tried to remember certain things and details and sadly seems to never remember it existed? This happens a lot and it can be frustrating. As frustrating as these things may be it can sometimes help us as as recalling certain things can be extremely painful and detrimental to our progress. In this epiosde we discuss the benefit of forgetting certain things so that we can actually make progress.
Ever heard of the word NOSTALGIA? It is the emotion you feel when you encounter something from your past. It is usually a happy feeling packed with a lot of emotion. The very ability to have nostalgic feelings is a gift because you can draw emotional strength even from past experiences. There is a gift in recalling the faithfulness of God. Sometimes all we need to do is take time to remember the things God has done in our lives for us to draw strength for the future
In this episode I share on the value of relationships and taking advantage of the most important relationship available to us, The Holy Spirit. As we move through the New Year it is important that we don't weary ourselves by doing things on our own.
Happy New Year family. I'm so glad we made it to 2024. As with all new things there is always a wave of excitement and passion found in them. In this episode I decided that it would be very important and beneficial to help align our motives for doing things and also remind us that there is nothing wrong in trying to complete things from the previous year. You don't have to do new things but you can strive for new results.
It's been a very long time since I posted an episode and this will have to be one of the hardest ever. We always tend to move towards things that soothe our ego and cuddle our pride but it does more harm than good. In this episode I share the benefits of having uncomfortable conversations and the dangers of avoiding them.
There are so many things we receive as believers that come through our union with Jesus, our fellowship with other believers and the access granted by various vessels. A lot of things can be imparted but one thing that can't be imparted is our History With God. This doesn't just serve as a proof of our walk with Him but also a Testimony of His dealings in our life and how these dealings strengthen our convictions. God doesn't just want to be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob but also your God bearing your name because of your History with Him
The Word of God is truly powerful. The Word of God is both instructive and prophetic. The words hidden in scripture don't just teach us but they show us possibilities for our lives. The word can come in such a way that it seems deeply personal and specific while other aspects seem general. You must see yourself and assignemt as it is captured in the Word of God. It will take both diligence and hunger to receive the power of God's Word. Every answer you desire is hidden in the Word of God
Faith is a very strong pillar of our Christian walk and its important we get a grasp of it in order to get the best of it. Whatever thing you define poorly will never benefit you. It's true that the concept of Faith may be one that is particularly hard to comprehend but I've come to see that God has placed so many pointers in the Word to make things clearer. In this discussion we delve into what Faith is and how it functions
Many people live in their own world facing their own issues living their own reality. The greatest seat of our reality is our mind. What the mind conceives is one of the greatest realities we would experience. Having a healthy and Co fident mindset about you isn't just some motivational antique but a true way of living your best life. The first limitation in your life is that of the mind and your advantage will come from your mental convictions. The things around you will never be as real as the things inside you. Remember AS A MAN THINKS IN HIS HEART SO IS HE!!!
Have you ever felt like what you carry isn't special or loved with a mindset of deep comparison? Well it is something many of us face especially if you're in the creative space. With so many people doing similar things to you it's hard to see yourself in the light of someone with something special. One thing we must have at the back of our minds is that God placed a unique gift in us and that gift is needed to serve and bless an generation. Self doubt has crippled so many of us anf robbed the world of such a beautiful experience. What you carry is truly a Gift!
Ever felt like you are a second grade individual or that what you carry isn't worth it? It's a feeling many of us get and most times we try to soften the effects by affirming we weren't created for greatness. This mindset has stopped so many of us from giving our best. Who we are is greater than what we do. How we dispense a gift is of more importance than the nature of the gift itself. God doesn't make second grade things. Remember, you are good enough.
Nothing was created for nothing. There is a purpose attached to everything including you. Life has a way of dealing with us that makes us feel we are created less than others or that we are 2nd grade individuals. This is far from true. God designed us with originality and uniqueness. The moment you discover you were created for something great that is the moment you begin to experience true living
Addictions come in all type of forms. It could be a habit, a craving or desire and many other things. One of these things is actually 'ENTITLEMENT'. This is a mentality that wrecks individuals and destroys relationships. It creates expectations in leolme that they probably would never meet and ultimately builds resentment. The basis of this episode is to reveal a certain truth which is 'NO ONE OWES YOU ANYTHING'
If there is one thing that is pretty common amongst us as humans is that we all have experienced failure in one form of the other. In truth if you haven't failed at something it's highly probable that you haven't tried anything at all. It gets even worse when you are really trying to break a particular habit or attitude and you seem to slip off more times than you can count. It can leave a bitter taste and weaken your morale to even try but there is a way out. Your understanding is key to getting you out of a mental rut. Scripture has given us a way out. Defeat is not when you are knocked down but when you stay down. Rise Dear Tyla! RISE!!!
Your life is a building and so many forces are not just trying to occupy it but to rule it. When we decide to let go of habits, we also have to pick up new ones to replace them otherwise we become even greatsr slaves to the addiction we have been trying to let go of. In this episode we discuss how and why this happens and how to make the best out of such a situation
Every Addiction is actually an attempt to meet a need. We are usually victims or slaves to the things we crave for. It could be love, approval, attention, recognition and the likes. Once we sense that emptiness within we end up looking for things to satisfy the craving which in turn can lead us into an abusive addiction. Understanding that both God and Satan are vying for a place in your life is exceptional critical because you will have to make a choice for who will satisfy you.
Who has ever suffered from an Addiction? Simply being human already makes you a candidate for the possibility of addictions. Many people shy away from this topic generally because it can be demeaning and it expresses some level of lack of self control. As difficult as it is to be discussed it still needs to be discussed because in order to defeat the enemy we must know who the enemy is, why the enemy chooses to attack us and how the enemy attacks us. Just know that no matter the issue in question there is hope!
It's been 2 years of embarking on this Podcasting journey and it took going back to the beginning to see how far we have come. Things have been a bit challenging and growth really takes time but looking back and recounting the events that have led up to this day is truly mind blowing. Most times we don't see the growth in our daily commitments until we take a full account of all things. It's usually at this time we begin to value our first steps and consistency. I hope this epiosde encourages you jot to give up on your dreams and also help you stay consistent in that pursuit. Your tenacity is the reason someone will dare to dream tomorrow
Our motives are extremely important aspects of our lives. The reason behind our actions need to be pure. One thing that destroys our motivation is when our motives don't align with something eternal. It is of utmost importance that we permit God to try our motives and intention. In this epiosde we discuss how something can start out purely but get corrupted along the line and how to navigate back to purpose. It takes an honest heart to be helped.
Love is a beautiful thing. Finding the right person is something hard to come by and when it comes it is a wonder. But how do you explain love that is short lived? How do you begin to fathom that the one you thought you would grow old with and spend forever with would be taken from you 2 years later? How can God still be good in this situation? How can I be less than 35 and known as a widow?
In this epiosde a brave young lady shares her story of love, pain, confusion and faith. This story will make you laugh, cry and leave you in awe of the wonder of God!
Life comes with its challenges and many times they can be devastating. Its hard to see the beauty in pain. Have you ever taken advice from someone who hasn't experienced a certain thing and yet sounds so commanding? It can be pretty annoying because they speak from the standpoint of information and not experience. There is something that experience does to us. It gives us an advantage of not just being knowlagable but empathic. In this episode we discuss how you can build purpose out of pain and how God turns that brokenness into someone's healing.
One of the most used statements drawn from scripture is from the book of James that says 'Faith without works is dead'. Jesus performed many miracles and most times we would think that all that happened was supernatural but in truth there was an action required on the part of the receiver. Many of us have been pinned down in a place because we have built so much safety in our pain. God has His method and in order for the things that have crippled us in life to be done with we need to pick up or beds and walk.
Have you ever watched Military Snipers in action as they prepare to take out a target? There is this focus that they have that is particularly admirable and fascinating to watch. One of the most powerful forces is focused light which we call A Laser. This laser can cut through some of the hardest surfaces easily. There is power in focus that many haven't discovered. In this episode we discuss how Focus can eliminate the greatest of distractions
Your identity is a gift that sets you apart from others. Having an identity is one thing. Knowing who you are is another thing. For many of us we have downplayed the gift in us due to comparison and competition. Once you discover your gift and value it, you'd be able to dispense it with such grace that the world will celebrate you always. It's important to know who you are
Seasons are characterised by certain events. When you see the signs you understand the times. One thing that seems really difficult to do as people is to stay in the place of preparation because of seasons. We usually want to fast-track things and in doing so we put ourselves through exhaustion and depression. Some things were never meant to be forced. When the season comes everything aligns to make it manifest. This is a hard truth for so many of us and I am chief on this one. Seasons tell you what to do and how to prepare. Don't waste them
We all have this team or group that we support. For one I am a Chelsea Supporter and you can only imagine how elated I feel when I get to see them winning and how broken I am seeing them lose. There is this passion that we give to our teams when we support them and silently we desire that for ourselves. Yet in all this we usually seem to lose sight of the truth that we as individuals need to learn to support ourselves. If anybody needs to cheer us in it should he us. So in this episode we discuss on being a fan of ourselves...
One of the most common things you'd hear me say is that I am an introvert and don't have social energy as my number one excuse for refusing to go out. I know many people are like me and in reality there is a reason to it all yet the truth is that many times, these actions can be detrimental to so many of us. Many times our secluded lifestyle leads us to depression, anxiety and and low self esteem. We get lost in our world while a beautiful world is created right outside our doors. There is so much we can learn from gleaning of other experiences. It's important that we take out time and go outside.
We all have Superheros that we love and admire. It one of those things that most young people and even the elderly fantasise on. As every Hero has their peculiar strengths they also have their weaknesses. Most people fail not because they are unaware of their strengths but because they have refused to acknowledge their weaknesses. Denying weaknesses is a setup to danger. Also understanding that a weakness doesn't need to be a bad thing but anything the enemy can use to take advantage will be one blessing you'd cherish for life. So in other words, WHAT IS YOUR KRYPTONITE?
In this episode I just share random thoughts in my mind. So much has happened for me that has been really difficult but lessons have been learned. I hope my words will echo deep within.
We have all gone through moments where defeat seems a greater reality than victory. In those moments, it can be very tough to make progress but there is a way out. We all have tasted victory at some point also. This very feeling can motivate us into passion again. In this episode I share on coping mechanisms that help us to learn to win again.
Hey Dear Tyla... Its been a while we spoke. A lot has happened in such a short period. I celebrated my birthday which was very epic but sadly lost my nephew in a tragic event. Today I have decided to share that experience and hopefully it inspires you. Life is worth living and doing that well
Today was a really tough day for me. I guess it's an accumulation of many things honestly. The circumstances I've been facing have been overwhelming and it has affected me in so many ways. I just had to cry out to God today and what He told me was to silence the noise that the voices in your head are so many that it is hard to hear Him speak. We really need to get to the point where we silence every noise and every thought and seek His voice. Faith comes by hearing. It matters the voice that is audible to you
Happy New Month. This is my birth month and I am really excited about. In this month I really want to open up and carry you on a journey of my personal transformation. I haven't got all things figured out right now but I'm open to be accountable on this journey with all of you. The mind is a powerful tool and is the seat of every reality we desire. If your mind hasn't grasped a thing it can never be your reality. Join me on my own journey of mental transformation and hopefully it will be of help to you
What is Peace? Is it the absence of chaos and disruption or is it deeper than this? One of the greatest gifts the Lord gave us is his Peace and that was in the midst of the assurance of tribulation. There is a value in this gift that serves as a foundation for our Christian living. What on earth was on the mind of Jesus that made him sleep in a storm? There is something He must have known that gave him such an assurance. In this episode we find out what it is and how we can enter such a reality.
Love Is Blind, or is it? This is a terminology that is used in many instances of intimate relationships and many people have lived with this idea causing them to make decisions in a blind manner. It's important to understand what people mean yet it's more important to know the truth. There is a full description of True Love that we must all believe and hold dearly. In this episode we discuss it!
If you're like me, then you'd definitely had your fair share of relationships and have they been eventful! These experiences usually leave scars that have can have an effect on our personal beliefs, self worth and even expectations. Many of us tend to feel that good things and people shouldn't come our way because of such traumatic experiences. Yet, God seems to have a surprise up His sleeve when it comes to this. In this epiosde we find out that God has designed a Lucky Number 7 for each of us. You are beautiful and you deserve beautiful things...
So a few days ago it was Valentine... Happy Valentine 😍!!! This period comes with a lot of expression of love and to be honest it can be really tough for the single ones or those going through a tough time in their relationship or marriage. One that that happens is that many people feel pressured to do certain things even when they know deep inside they aren't ready. Most times this leads to regret and untold pain. In this episode I share my story of how I felt this season and how God helped me to lay hold on my emotions. Your emotions are just indicators to a feeling and not a good tool for judgement. In all remember that their is NO PRESSURE on you to do certain things only if you give into that pressure
In this episode I get to have a discussion with my Sisters. It's a pretty hilarious episode where we get to share views on love and relationships. It's a no bars held episode where they let it all out. I hope you have fun as much as I did...
What's the worst that can happen to a person? After years of rejection and abandonment is it still possible to find love or be loved? In this story a dear friend shares her ordeal in life. So many heart wrenching moments but this all ends in hope. God truly gives Beauty For Ashes!!!
In todays epiosde we dive into the story of Monday and Sarah Yebo, an amazing fun loving and hilarious couple. They share the story of how they met, their convictions and how they define love. Delve into this awesome interview and learn how to find true love
In this month we find out from different love birds about their experience in love and relationship. This episode we are introduced to Kax and Murna (Kax is my younger brother) and they tell us their story of love and lessons learned. This episode is as insightful as it is hilarious!
In todays episode I share a story of a dear friend that had experienced a well of emotions in her life. The lives of those we admire are mostly scared in painful history. Yet it is pressure that produces Diamonds and what we do with our experiences is what truly defines us. Allow this story inspire you and bless you greatly....
So many of us are so used to Isolation that we don't know the benefit of a friend or the real feeling of freedom. As people we were not designed to do life alone. For some of us we have been stranded on an island for so long that we reject help when it comes. We fight those God has brought into our lives. In this episode we discuss the need to find a companion and a community
So many times because of either having the desire to be a blessing or the feeling that we are not worthy of certain things, we tend to believe that good things weren't meant to come our way. If it is to pray and believe for someone we put so much energy into it and expect a miracle. When it comes to ourselves we tend to doubt or exclude ourselves. This is dangerous as we tend to lose many blessings God has prepared for us. In this episode we discuss more on this.
There is this beautiful flower called 'Forget Me Not'... I remember growing up how we would share it with friends that were travelling or going some place as a way of reminding them of things they did. One thing about life is that we grow and things change. In all of this it is important never to forget those who left a deep impact in our lives. In this episode I share stories of certain people who changed my life forever
The end of anything is usually so beautiful and captivating but there is a process to get there. Most times the steps taken don't reflect the desired outcome and it can be frustrating but every step we miss is one we would pay for. God builds systemically even though He has ability to do things in an instant. Today's episode speaks on the value of growing Step-By-Step
Time is a precious resource yet I believe that there is a myth surrounding it and its the statement that 24 HOURS ISN'T ENOUGH. I think this thought has made us to live in moments of paranoia and anxiety. Many times we pressure ourselves into stress. There is a time allocation for eaxg day and I believe if we can but use it wisely we would see that 24 hours is actually sufficient for a day.
We live in a fast world with desire for quick results. Most times we forget that there is a process to things even though they seem instant in our eyes. Our desire for instant results can lead to frustration when the process seems longer. Many dreams have been aborted because it seems Nothing Is Happening. In this episode I share a personal story of a challenge and how God used my experience and an encounter with someone to help. Something is happening but it's behind the scenes.
Wanting to get to a certain place is one thing. How to get there is a totally different ball game. How we intend to get there is another thing on its own. Its extremely important to create a plan flr all that we do. In order to get the best out of anything we need to plan our route to it. In this episode we discuss on how to make a very effective plan
It's a New Year which means New Years Resolutions. Many people have abused this very act and many people hate it and feel its overrated. Is this true? Do Resolutions truly hell or are they just a facade? It is important that we start the Year with the best tools to get us through. In this episode I share how to get the best out of Resolutions
In this final episode for this series I share that last 5 lessons learned. As usual they are extremely personal things but I believe they would be of benefit to each of us... Go through them and see if we had anything in common
We continue to go deeper into the lessons learned this year. Today's episode enters into some personal territory... Hopefully this will be a blessing to you
In this episode we continue on the lessons learned this year. 5 mores lessons learned from my experience and that of others...
2022 has been a tremendous year... With both the good the bad and the OMG moments. I decided to use the remaining days of the year to share the things I have learned during the year. I believe in the Power of Evaluation and this is something I do often. I believe the lessons learned will inspire you too.
One of the greatest stories ever in the Bible is the story of Noah and the Ark he built to save his family and animals from the great flood. God used Noah as a system of preservation. God brought my own Noah to my rescue way back in school and I share how my crush turned into my hero!
Ever heard the phrase just a matter of time? Well, leaving life to chance and time is one of the greatest mistakes we can make. Time doesn't give us any advantage if God is not involved. The real factor that makes a difference is God. I'm this episode we share on the need to truly let go and let God
I'm sure we all have been part of circles or systems and after a whole season of work, your efforts aren't known or appreciated... We'll one question we answer today is DOES IT COUNT? What really matters and where should your satisfaction come from...
Who doesn't like to achieve in this life? We all do and the times we live in can pressure us to force certain season and results around us. One of the greatest attributes of great people is consistency. Everything grows because something wqs done consistently. In this episode we discuss the power of consistency. Use this truth to change the results in your life.
So I've been off for quite a while and I must admit I did get the much needed rest. Its one thing to be productive as an individual but it's equally important to know when to retreat. There are times that the more effort we put the less results we get. So it's important to do all you can to renew strength and Be Revived. In this episode we discuss more on this.
Ever looked for that once forgotten item and wished you never discarded it? Our world is filled with so much technological advancement that it's easy to throw things we consider obsolete away. The most painful part is when the new technology let's us down we seek out that which we discarded. Many times we treat relationships like possessions. When someone doesn't constitute an advantage to us we easily let them go while hanging with the big shots. We need to understand the value of such relationships irrespective of their current contribution. In this episode we discuss why the Old will always be relevant!
Have you ever been in a situation where going back is not a possibility and you're only left with the option of fighting on or giving up? Well life throws us these kind of curve balls and it's important to know what to do in those situations... In this episode we discuss this theme and how the Story of Jesus walking on Water gives us God's designed plan out of it
The words you speak are more than just vibrations and echoes but are literal building blocks to the reality you see. Understanding this makes you deliberate about the things you hear, listen to and say. Your Language reveals your identity and your identity shows who you submit to. Mind Your Language
Ever watched Snow White? Remember the line the Witch used to ask the magic mirror consistently to receive affirmation on her beauty? Well how many times have we used people's definition of us to define who we are? It's important to know that what you see about yourself I'd more important thank what others see about you... This episode will blow your mind!
So many people find it hard to believe that I am still single (as at the time of recording this episode ooooo!). I believe our life is made up of a building block of various experiences that shape a lot of our realities... In this episode I share what I feel keeps us from entering into amazing and beautiful stories...
Guilt has a way of robbing us of true freedom. The things we run away from are usually the things that hold the key to our help. As believers we may fall short of God's standard and along the line it may make us feel hypocritical asking God for things. God honours a broken heart at all times. You may not be perfect but you are loved!
One of my favourite hyms is 'What A Friend We Have In Jesus'. It just captures so many realities we live in. Most times we have those individuals that represent our help structures and defence. It is important that beyond having people around that we learn to speak our hearts to the one that we call Father. We need to learn to put God on Speed Dial...
In todays episode we share on God being a provider. We live in a really crazy time where we have so many needs to be met and sometimes it can be overwhelming. Remembering that God is our source is key as one of the greatest shutters to His role in our lives are the blessings He has given us. We must remember that God is the one responsible for provision and heaven has a daily allocation for you.
As much as Social Media has been a blessing it has sadly helped a lot of people live fake lives. The best of the best is left to be posted on Social Media as it now the platform for showing what works even if it's not working. It's easy to give people the impression you're closer to God online rather than actually being close to Him. In this episode we discuss one of the greatest plagues of our generation!!!
We all some things that gave gripped us with fear. Some of them have left us bereft of any energy to try. The truth is that there is a key to overcoming fear and once you master those keys you become a threat to the spirit of fear a d fear becomes afraid of you... Find out more in this episode!
This is the 10th month of the year. By this time many will be trying to evaluate their progress and take stock of achievements. For some of us it's the opposite. We find it hard to find one thing that seemingly worked. It can really leave its scars but the truth is that there is a chance to start over whenever we make that decision to start. God is at the other end of the line waiting for you to hold His hand and take you through the new path. Most importantly is that lost time can be restored in his presence!
One of the most difficult things to do as an individual is to wait especially of its waiting on God. In truth, we desire things to happen in our convenience and many times feel that those that decide to help us later are not doing us a favour. This in May instances leads us to give God an ultimatum as we seek other options. Sadly this always leads to pain. We discuss the value of waiting on God in this episode
There is this deep disappointment we experience when we order things and they don't match up to our expectations. This can be overwhelming and it's even harder as a believer.
