  In a dream, I saw a friend who told me that giving is a way of serving God. She even went further to say that all she has ever achieved and her testimonies came from serving God through her finance. I didn’t fully understand until a month after, we spoke and I shared the dream with her. She was shocked! In her words, “The Holy Spirit is always accurate and perfect” (indeed He is the revealer of secret things). This was an eye-opener and a game changer for me in my Faith journey and I thought to share same with you. I know you may be wondering how? No need to think it too far, the truth is we can do so much more for God apart from our tithes and offerings on Sunday or midweek services. There are so many blessings attached to giving. It is also important to note that God is not a user of men but a blesser of men. Also, no one lacks what he gives . No one serves Jesus in truth and deed and ends up in shame or broke. He is too faithful to fail. Here are various ways we can explor...

Humans are spirit beings; meaning that we are spirit-carriers either consciously or unconsciously. You can't be empty. The Word of God says for as many as are led by the spirit of God they are called the sons of God (Romans 8:14).  There are various ways to build up our spirit man. This include communing with God daily; by praying (in tongues), meditating on the scriptures, singing spiritual songs, hymns and in summary worshipping God at all times. One thing to take note is that, if we don’t establish and build our relationship or communicate with God on a daily basis, it is easy for the devil to take advantage of the spirit man. You just find yourself doing things out of fleshly desires.  I recall a conversation I had with a friend; we talked about the excessive usage of social media. He said, “one just surfs through the internet all day without praying or even opening the Bible to hear from God and just feel empty at the end of the day.” If that’s the case for you and me, th...

And He said to me, “don’t feel like you are holier than others” I startled for few seconds. That was the Holy Spirt talking to me😮 I had to examine myself for several minutes, like what was I doing wrongly? But I am not showing off or judging anyone now 🥹🥹 The honest truth is that that’s the case for most Christians; we judge others or feel like we are way better with serving God than others. Remember the Bible says, judge not (Matthew 7:1) Recently, I have come to realize that Christianity is a personal journey; unless God tells you to advice an individual regarding the faith work (which should be done in gentleness and love - Galatians 6:1-2), why are we trying to remove the speck in their eyes while leaving the log of wood in our own eyes? It is very easy to see other people’s inadequacies while not seeing your own inadequacies (Matthew 7:5) The Bible calls such an individual who goes about with such behavior an hypocrite. How do we preach the gospel to the unsaved while we are s...

  “The Lord restored the fortunes of Job, when he prayed for his friends, the Lord gave Job twice as much he had before” Job 42:10 Everyone needs to pray and be prayed for. The blessings that come with interceding for others can't be quantifed. The bible says there was supernatural restoration for Job when he engaged in intercessory prayers for his friends. We are saddled with praying for the salvation and well-being of others; be it family, friends, colleagues or even enemies! The prayers of the righteous avails much as we need to pray for one another that we may be healed and restored (James 5:16). This article will be exploring few benefits of praying for others. We are doing the Lord’s work/expanding the gospel of Christ - Matthew 6:33, 1 Timothy 2:1-4 In a world full of many distractions, we are to seek God first and His kingdom (the advancement of His kingdom).
