Distinguished Family

Checked! Checked! Checked! If only they were, undoubtedly, you would have been stepping ahead. The race to become is not just in wishes and desires, all spelled and written down with no hands on deck. While he kept wondering what held him back and what limited him in the growth he desired to see, the Holy Spirit pointed it out straight to him and said; "if only you are disciplined enough to complete those goals of yours... " You complete the rest and fill the gap.  While it may true that your faith moves mountains and your expectations wouldn't be cut off, it's a truth that without works, your faith is dead.  It's this simple, and here is the message. Be disciplined and stop dragging your feet! Though Moses was still waiting for what to do in front of the Red sea, He got a response from God.  Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving! Exodus 14:15 NLT Get moving! Do something even as you are led, and bein...

  Dear Distinguished, Yeah, I know. I know you want to shoot me at the rate at which I’ve been going on and off. I don’t derive joy in this but y’all always forgive me so what can I say? Perhaps you have not gotten the memo, we are back. When I say we, I mean you, me, and the blog. You like? Yes, you do. It feels good to write this series again. I hope you feel the same. Now that I am in your face, I will like you to know that it is not too late to start. You may have stalled since January due to reasons best known to you, but my guy, you should still go for gold. How? Do like me. See how I sneaked into your WhatsApp dm with updates from the blog? Eh ehn. Do like that. Act like you just got the chance to chase your dreams because well, you just did in my books. Every new hour/day/week/month, you get a chance to do what you want. Of course, you’ll need to refuel the fire. Pick up your book of prophecies and remind yourself of all God promised you. If you still have your ...

The Question of where exactly our mind wanders to when we are all alone and free to think whatever we want is often neglected under the guise of "Man of God" or "Carnality doesn't flow here". What do you think of when you're free to really think on your own? I remember wrapping up the Previous year with a word that has changed my perspective on Prosperity a whole lot-"The Gospel is the defining factor of the Believing man". The Gospel, The message of the Kingdom of God is what defines the whole life of the man in Christ. He is the man consumed by the Desire of God and the things of God, that every moment and every fibre of his being just absorbs the reality of God and exudes it at the same intensity. So what exactly runs through your mind when you're all by yourself? Alone and there's no Bible Study or Prayer meeting? Are your thoughts still safe for the Lord's? Dearly Beloved, There's an higher life you and I have been ...

I found myself ranting at my mum the other day because I had an issue I wanted to solve with her at that moment.  I needed clarity on this issue which made me go to her with such aggression. After shouting for some minutes, she told me to leave her presence in that instance. I was too sure I was right on this, but I lacked the right approach. So, I took the issue to the Holy Spirit. He told me to take a pause then go back to talk to her after some minutes. He also gave me a clue on how to approach her.  Not too long, my mum called me on a different matter. I was able to raise the issue, and we solved it so well. Many times, we, as children of God pull up this same attitude to God. Truly, we may be going through a lot at some point when it then comes to talking with God. Our way and manner of approach to Him may be the hindrance to getting our answers immediately. Sometimes, we think we are talking to God, but what we do, is worry and rant. This makes God's attentio...

Gideon is one of the icons in the Bible, whose life, leadership, and walk with God provide a clear example of what God can achieve through a willing man.   He served as Israel’s fifth major judge, and his destruction of baal, the pagan god, earned him the name Jerub-Baal, meaning the destroyer of Baal. Gideon embodied a rich history of faith that is as edifying today, as it was many thousand years ago. In this piece of content, I share 4 central lessons that can be gleaned from the life of Israel’s fifth judge. 4 Enriching Lessons from Gideon 1. God Looks Beyond You When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon in verse 12 of Judges 6, he gave him a reference that exceeded the limits of his physical reality. He called Gideon a mighty man of valor. Another version refers to him as a mighty soldier. But, one would have asked how these labels of strength applied to a man who was clearly hiding in the bottom of a grane press from members of the enemy’s camp. How afr...

Dear Distinguished, How are you? I know you would love to strangle me for being MIA (missing in action) for such a long time but please, forgive my inadequacies. I missed you. Did you miss me? A lot has been going on with me and I bet you can say the same too. On my part, I am too tired of relying on my strength. Guess what I did? I cast my cares on Abba. He loves me, so He has been so faithful this week - that should explain why I can write you. You see, cast your cares on Him. He cares for you. When I started writing this letter, I had the mind of sharing lessons from 'How to be a Blessing' with you. It was a session we had on Distinguished Teenagers WhatsApp group chat last night. But, I have changed my mind. Right now, the time is 00:53 am (WAT) and I'm vibing to Mama TY Bello's 'Green Land'. Yeah, you got that right. The same "the land is green, is green, oh oh; the land is green, is green can't yo u see?"  Oh how I love(d) this so...

It was that simple. Just trust and obey. Would you be glad your friend despised your instructions and later faced the consequences? After all, you did tell him or her. As little as it might be, every instruction matters and makes up little details to help at bigger decisions. Painfully we just sometimes or mostly despise His still small voice. It was painful when I still couldn't pay attention to how He spoke to me on that Sunday morning when I wanted to pick a pair of trousers for service. They were all Ironed sha. While I took another pair of trousers not paying attention to details, I was still happy I was rocking these new black trousers not until I entered the school gate and took a cab. "Pauuuuuuu" abi it was "praaaaa". Just imagine the painful sound of clothes tearing. I came down from the vehicle and returned to my room wearing the exact trouser I saw earlier on. That Sunday, I was late to church, and trust me, it wasn't nice. The Holy Sp...
