It seemed like it will never come but harvest time always comes. It’s a God ordained principle-whatever a man sows he will reap. Now this is the funny part, people suffer dementia or amnesia at this point. Why do I say that? Its because they are always surprised with the harvest. They are always expecting something different from what they had planted.
When you are nurturing a plant, apart from providing daily nourishment, two actions are necessary for its growth - its weeding and pruning. In this episode we will see the befit of pruning though a painful process is crucial for growth.
In the midst of planting season, we'll explore the notion that it's not just about the act of planting, but also about the dedication it requires. We need to be intentional on the type of seeds we plant as the harvest depends on it. A seed could be an idea, a dream, a thought, a principle, or a desire.
Often, distractions can sway us from our purpose, but we must remember that timely planting is crucial for future growth and harvest.
What makes one deploy all their efforts and resources in their quest? It's the value of what they are seeking.

In this episode, we delve into Proverbs 11:24-25, where we discover that true generosity is not measured by abundance, but by the heart's willingness to give. Contrary to common belief that giving depletes us, God's perspective reveals that the more we give, the more we enrich our lives. By holding back we actually impoverish ourselves. So, I challenge you to take a moment today to make generosity a way of life, by sharing your blessings with those in need continue to spread love and compassion wherever you go.
Today, we embark on a deeply personal journey as we honor the life and legacy of a remarkable individual—my father. This tribute extends to all Godly fathers out there.

Fathers are silent heroes and when we encourage them in their role it impacts generations to come.
We live in a world of idol worship. Celebrities whether in sports, fashion, entertainment or politics influence the way we live and even what we consume. Who would have known that one day there would be a profession called "Influencing". But these idols that have us mesmerized in their glory don't know or even care about us. But there is One who is worthy to be idolized, worshipped and glorified and the best of all He knows me personally by my name. Let's dive in. I melted in His presence, fangirled like most would in front of their celebrities. Isaiah 66:1-2 shows us His greatness, and the most obvious response is bowing down in worship.

As the Bible teaches us, it's not only about working hard but also about enjoying the fruit of our labor.
You cannot relate well with others if you do not relate well with their maker. In this last episode we see How Jesus starts with dealing with our hearts first to be in right standing with God, then once we have a relationship with Him we are able to relate well with others.

God chooses leaders by His standards not ours. Meet Deborah the only female judge in Israel. Mistakenly attributed Deborah's leadership for lack of a male who could stand up but this is false. She was chosen by God in a unique leadership style unlike her male counter parts. In her femininity, and as a wife she courageously commanded respect even from the military general Barak. You don't have to be roughed up like a man to be an effective leader. God wants to use you in your uniqueness as a woman.
The current economic situation announces doom day after day. From rising interests rates, cost of rent, food and gas, many are struggling to meet even the basic life needs such as food, shelter and clothing.

In this episode, we see two men who had a life crisis that required major intervention. Who do you turn to in times of trouble.
In our society there's fair weather love and lover simply by the way we have created this idea of what love is and how it should be expressed. It's easy to love when all the right conditions are aligned -the perfect weather, but that is not reality. Imagine the feeling of finding the perfect lover who falls for you when you are at your worst; looking crusty without make up, hair nor teeth brushed, but they love you for who you are not how you look. This is how God demonstrated His love for us; when we were yet sinners, rebelling against Him (Romans 5:8). He gives us a sure promise that nothing will separate us from His love not even death (Rom *:38-39). The highest institution which is marriage allows commitment to broken through death but not God's love. It transcends death. This Valentine's I give you the greatest lover of all times- Jesus Christ.
Can you measure the distance between the earth to the heavens or the clouds? It's immeasurable. David says in Psalms 57:10 "For your faithful love is as high as the heavens and your faithfulness reaches the clouds". This is to show the faithfulness is immeasurable and its transcends life. God gave me this word in my morning devotion knowing that I will receive very sad news that may make me question His faithfulness. This is one of the most important attributes of God- His faithfulness.
Have you ever done a personal year end inventory exercise? Similar to companies doing year end reporting to see where they suffered losses and where they made profits, or even how they operated during the year, its important to take stock of your personal life. In the Bible David was great at doing this. He says in Psalms 103:2 "Praise the Lord all my soul and forget not all His benefits". Keep track of your blessings throughout the year and you will be amazed that even with a few hardships there is more to celebrate than to lament. This will help you face the future with boldness and hope. I traced 12 blessings in 2022 some were even disguised in hardships. How many can you trace in your life from last year?
We have all had enemies at some point in life whether by choice or circumstance. The question is how do we deal with our enemies? When emotions of hatred or betrayal well up inside us like in the case of David in Psalms: 58, we may be tempted to avenge ourselves and take matters in our own hands. But Jesus recommends us something different- He says to Pray and love our enemies. Now that requires some spiritual and emotional maturity.
Harnessing our self-discipline and self-control can be very challenging to master. Every temptation or trial no matter it's magnitude is not uncommon. Someone somewhere in the world is either going through something similar or even worse. In I Corinthians 10:13 there is an encouragement that whatever we are going through, God know in advance that we can handle it. He cannot allow us to go through something that is greater than our strength or capacities, because He knows us so well. He even provides a way out for us already. All we need to do is find it.
Is saying in Jesus' name at the end of our prayers the magic formula to get an answer? After all Jesus Himself said in John 14:13-14 that whatever we'll ask in His name He shall do it. Is that a blank cheque to ask for anything? Certainly not! Praying in Jesus' name is praying according to His will, or anything that is aligned with Jesus' values. We cannot ask Him something contrary to His nature/character and expect Him to do it.
Can we cheat death so that we can live longer? Death is an equalizer of humanity as it strikes everyone, the rich, poor, young, old, beautiful or ugly. It is no respecter of persons. Even though death seems like a finality of life, it is in reality the beginning of eternity. We can never get accustomed to death as it leaves us helpless. So how does one overcome death and face it with bravery? By having the overcomer of death in them. Jesus conquered death so that we can be victorious over death. Acts 2:24; "God raised Him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by death".
Have you ever said something and regretted it as soon as the words rolled out of your mouth? We have seen celebrities and people in power retract on things they said because they were inappropriate. We can lift up others with our tongues as well as destroy. Someone said God created us with two ears and one mouth so that we can listen more and talk less. James 3:5-6
Hypocrisy is presenting a false image of oneself. The Pharisees were great hypocrites and that is why Jesus was often at odds with them. He often rebuked them because God knew their heart was not in line with their outward appearances. God wants us to be authentic, we cannot hide behind a mask or a spiritual make-up.
Sight is not just for those whose eyes can see. Blind Bartimaeus even though he had never physically seen Jesus, He had better insight of Him than the disciples who had "seen" His countless miracles. Bartimaeus had the insight that Jesus was the Messiah, that is why he was not going to let Him pass by without healing him. He had a different sight - A sight of faith. Bartimaeus saw through his faith and not through his eyes. Mark 10:46-52
Hebrews 10:24 When you hear the phrase "stir up" what comes to mind? If you are like me, you are probably on the edge, your reflexes engaged and your auto defense on. Why? Because stir up tells us trouble is coming. But here we are encouraged to do the opposite. To stir one another towards love and good deeds.
Have you heard of the phrase this one first then you? It's never fun being put second. Jesus told this woman, "Let the children be filled first. For it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to little dogs". This woman recognized Jesus being Lord and she sought grace not entitlement/due that the children of Israel seemed to have. Even though she knew she was not deserving to sit at the table, she was happy to have the fallen crumbs under the table.
Women we are multi taskers, so asking us to be still is like asking a 5year old boy to stay put for a while.
Bondage or prison can be in different ways, but the captive or the prisoner's ultimate dream is freedom or liberty from their captor or bondage. Jesus comes and breaks the bondage of sickness that held this woman captive for 18years. No wonder she leapt in joy glorifying God. What bondage are you under currently?
Priority setting is a daily exercise as we are faced constantly with competing priorities. Women are masters at juggling but there comes a time when you have to choose only one good thing you need to focus your attention on. What is that good thing and how do you do it without letting others areas suffer?
Menses, Aunt flo, the curse, that time of the month, all these are creative ways of describing every woman's monthly pain of menstruation. Even though it comes for a couple of days a month, no woman enjoys this part of womanhood. Imagine enduring this for years non stop. Here is a woman who suffered under the pangs of menstruation for 12years and she was determined to get healing from Jesus no matter what the cost.
Everyone has or had an accuser at one point in their life. Accusers take pride in showcasing other people's flaws, weakness and if possible shame them. In this episode a woman fell in the hands of her accusers and they had tangible proof as she had been caught in the act of adultery. But Jesus's response is contrary to what these accusers expected...
Hope is a feeling of expectation and a desire for something (good) to happen. Everyone has once in their lifetime hoped for something, whether it happened or not is another story. Hope sometimes acts like our lifeline when we're faced with difficulties. It reassures us that there is a rainbow or a light at the end of the tunnel. But what if there is nothing to hope for anymore-when a situation is hopeless and there is nothing one can do or say to spark hope in us. Here is a woman who was at that point. But Jesus came and gave her hope out of her hopelessness. Jesus is our hope not only in this temporal life on earth but for the eternal life.
Have you ever been thirsty on a hot sunny summer day to a point of having your throat sticking to the roof of your mouth? Unquenched thirst can drain every ounce of energy from our bodies. But here is a woman who had a different kind of thirst. A spiritual thirst that she attempted to quench over the years but in vain, until she met the giver of living water.
In the old Jewish custom, women were considered almost like second class citizens. But we see Jesus breaking these boundaries and man-made norms. In this series we'll see Jesus' encounters with various women and the impact He left on them.
Nicknames can sometimes take over our real names. They can be cute, fuzzy or just mean. Unfortunately sometimes we have no choice once we are labelled with one. But imagine being called 'Sinner' and that being your identity henceforth due to your reputation. It was the case for this woman with an alabaster box who is unnamed, until she met Jesus who gave her a new life. A chance to start over on a blank page.
There is a difference between worry and genuine concern. Worry immobilizes you, whereas genuine concern moves you to action. Jesus knows the dangers of worrying so He tells us not to worry. Much worrying doesn't bring about solution to your problems, but rather amplifies them. Here is how we can be at peace even amidst difficulties. Matthew 6:25-33
If our daughters were a spit image of us character wise, how will they be? Us mothers we should be careful what kind of behavior we are modelling in our children especially our daughters. We should live out our lives for Christ so that they can confidently imitate us as we imitate Christ. Someone said "it's ok to be a copy cat as long as you are copying the right cat"
Exercise even though with readily tangible results profits only a little. So what profits much? Or all things -godliness. In the same way you are training and toning your physical muscle you should do the same for your spiritual muscles. The benefits are not only for this life but also life to come. Are you looking to get spiritual abs? Dive in to find more...
Are you one of those people who cleans before the cleaner comes to your house? You don't have to clean your act so that you can be more acceptable before coming to God. He wants to come as you are. He knows all our flaws and He is ready to accept us as we are, and He ill give us a new identity- His identity
In front of a big life decision, how do you decide which way to go? Taking God's way gives us rest. It takes confusion and anxiety out, as His way gives us peace.
