Consider the ocean majestic

Consider the ocean in her enchanted blue regalia. Shimmering and wavy, curved in all her ways. Have you ever seen a lady dressed in all her majestic attire and all at once. The sun shines to expose her silver jewelry, the moon for her gold. The darkness for her onyx and light for her heart. Upon her shores the light shines and exposes her, yes even you could see right through her. So vast, so beautiful, so enchanted but yet so deadly. She is never satisfied, giving passage to some and keeping some as everlasting visitors. Swallowing up and spitting out. She can eat up the biggest city and spare the smallest raft. When she roars, men of the sea wear terror as a garment, they look on in horror..hoping she already had her fill this morning. Is she coming gracefully or in the midst of a lovers quarrel. Hurricanes are named after her feminine side. Her masculine side comes in waves, ridden by the inventions of men for sport. She can be motherly and in her rage can run into whole cities taking more permanent visitors against will and choice. Spitting them out as soon as they get boring to the point of stiffness. To Spit out or to feed inner children, choices. Her children are beautiful and deadly alike. Moving in the waters of her beauty with beautiful skin and sharp teeth, some swallowing her visitors whole. Who shall pass through and who shall stay. Riding on her back towards rest, not worrying worth a penny. Her maker is my husband, firm in His ways, having mercy on whom He will have mercy on. Have you not heard that safety belongs to JEHOVAH. He has me under the shadow of His wings where I take refuge. He will protect me and mine. Though I ride through the seas and oceans deep and death hungry, the Holy one of Israel, The Lord the Merciful will give me and mine safe passage. Though she roars and screams like the leaches two daughters, give give, or more more, I will be safe because the Lord has set my life upon His mercy and my ways upon His uncontestable love, I shall tread waters and go through the deep and it shall not overwhelm me, her slapping waves shall not overtake me. In the name of Jesus, I have dominion here. Thank you Jesus.

Happy anniversary

It was during a time of seek ye first the kingdom. It was a time of fellowship with the Lord, I muttered to the effect of He would have to provide a husband if He wanted me to marry. Left it at that and kept seeking first. A month later I got confirmation, just that it would be soon...no face, no characteristics. Well, after all...my God knows in full detail the desires of my heart. See, I'm not your typical social bird, I like my place of abode well enough to stay in it. I was invited to go bowling by Ogaga and I was in agreement as soon as I got the invite. The Spirit of the Lord picked my outfit, yes He can do that. I later found out that my outfit, down to my puffy hair stood out. Mayowa Baiyeri had invited my heart and as soon as he walked in he went to say hi and was by my side the whole evening chatting...turned out we attended the same school back home in Nigeria. Turned out we also lived on the same street. #watchGodwork. We chatted after that for days that turned into weeks. One Saturday morning, the Lord graciously opened my eyes and I had a knowing that he was the one. Weeks turned to months and one afternoon, my joy got a ring and proposed. I laughed, I have different reactions to some situations. I was so happy. #Hecausedmetolaugh I prayed a prayer of surrender to my merciful Father, of it is of you, let it be, if not....you get the gist. It's dangerous to go into an agreement without the Lord. The Lord released to me the Word that kept me in times that I needed my head to be lifted up. Being a quiet person, I was thinking about a wedding of 75 to 100 people...after all who did I know. Here's a revelation.. your wedding is not about you. Those of you that were there would testify that the church was all the way filled with friends, family from out of state and country...the Lord brought them. Henry Chuks and bukky came from Arkansas. Lilian Obianuju Onyenobi came from Houston. Dunni Dehinwa another classmate from Nigeria, I almost fell when I saw them. Some people I forgot to invite, and others I didn't invite for fear of overfilling the hall. Oh, Amber Nicole-Emem Jones came in full African regalia, so beautiful. She caught my bouquet. Latrice Sillers was in gele along with tirade and hazel. Chichi Thelma Ikwuegbu was a life saver as a bridesmaid. Doyin oh, Mado Assani, Kemi, Torkwase Ijir and Leslie Ijeoma Chukwuleta were so pretty that I had to check my own outfit n stuff... See Jayden and uche handling things. Chioma baby was looking so beautiful, she was mini me. Morenike Okungbowa thanks for allowing her to beautify everything. Chima F Chukwuleta all the way from California. Too many names. Mrs Sijuwade was like saving dew from heaven. She is blessed to a level of awe. That's a child of the most High and do you think that my Father in heaven is not seeing what she is doing. Sister Olufunke Babade Omotoso was quick to beautify the position of flower girls and junior bridesmaids with her beautiful daughters. Kimberly Jaiyeola, Sandra, Chioma and my Adaeze, and Simi. So beautiful, you have never seen an array of heavenly beauties as the Lord shewed at my wedding. Blaze Bc Aramide Eseyin ogaga, barede, Alex Xander III and mayowa looking so sharp you could cut it. The annointing in the house was heavy, I tell you. At some points, I almost fell. All the songs I wanted to glorify my Father with that I couldn't pass across to the choir, God ordered all of them from their mouths. #wontHedoit. The day was so heavenly that it could only be God. After all He paid for the wedding, proveded the groom and bride...how wont He complete His marvelous work. Victory house and HOTR helped so much, it was like a video of what Christianity is supposed to be. Anniversary was awesome, the cruise was delayed2 days and so we got a nice refund and still got to cruise. Do you know the cake never showed up, did you know over 430 people showed up for the reception at a reception hall for 300 people. I was thinking it was too much space. Thank God I moved it from the hall of 220 seats. The owner of the hall was threatening to shut the reception down, I never laughed so well, how can you shut down the Lord's wedding. Everything went awesomely well. It was like I was on fast forward. Married life was sweet at honeymoon and then the enemy put up his ugly head. The devil does not sleep. Thank God for the HOLY SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord raises a standard against them. No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper. The Holy Spirit is so awesome, He is so quick to help all the time I ask. Sometimes I forget to ask, but He had already provided a solution before I could realize there was an issue. It will be a year tomorrow and I won't have service where I'm going. I would like to say that if not for the Lord on our side, the enemy would have chewed us up and spat us out like chaff. The Lord kept us under His wings, and though 10000 fell at our right side, it did not touch us or come near. Instead of the counsel of the enemy, the Lord delivered our enemies to our feet. He made us laugh, He made us like those that dreamed. An embarrassment of testimonies. My God is mighty in this place and so I'm giving it all back to Him, all the praise and glory that He is worthy of. My loving Father, beside Him there is no other, none can stand where He stands, He rules alone.....rightly and justly. Jesus I love you so, the world can't understand it. I really really really appreciate you and need you to 've glorified in this. While I was yet a sinner, you died to save me. What kind of love is this. Thanks for my marriage and my husband, thanks for my beautiful family, thanks because You are in it with us. All glory to you Almighty God forever and ever.

I remember when

Mar 17, 14. I got engaged. 2 weeks later at Rtr,  mellman called me to his desk via IM. I thought it was business related. He said, is that an engagement ring, he made such a big deal and I was blushing. This was in February. Almost Valentine's day. My ring was indeed beautiful, it was perfect. He knew I didn't like bulky or blingy. It was absolutely perfect. My darling knows how to do His homework, and he delivered. Some things he lets slide and with some he just knocks you off your feet.

A week before that, Mado outed me at the choirs sleepover at Kemi's place. I was acting as a newscaster and had the tv remote as a microphone. She grabbed my hand and looked at the ring and screamed, I tried to shush her to no avail. As soon as she let the cat out of the bag..everyone flipped. It was so much fun. They turned it into an interview. I was so embarrassed more so because I wasn't used to having so many friends and girls at that. I normally have guy friends and only a handful. We talk over the phone, none of them fuss. They just say that I should marry so they can come and eat party rice. Thinking about that, I haven't spoken to Emmanuel in a while. I and kelechi stayed at his place for nkirus wedding. Was nice and extremely busy. Between running around and sleep, I think we saw him the night before we left. When we arrived, he was there long enough to show us where stuff was. He is a friend indeed. Luckily, he didn't live far from all the wedding stuff. I remember kelechi and I got lost on the way to the pre wedding dinner. Fun. We shopped a bunch during that time. Those were fun times. Since then, we are all married, nkiru, kelechi and I.

The name of Jesus

Ooooooooh, just found part of something I've been looking for for a while. It's awesome how you ask God to show you something and He does. He is awesome like that....ask and you shall receive.
Here it is.... John 17:11-12 NIV

I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of  your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.  While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by  that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.

Did you catch it, did you?

John 17:11-12 Holy Father, protect them by the power of  your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.  While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by  that name you gave me.

How about now.....

The name Jesus is not just Jesus name, it's Almighty God's name. Got it now?

John 17:11-12 Holy Father, protect them by the power of  your name(Jesus), the name you gave me(Jesus), so that they may be one as we are one.  While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by  that name(Jesus) you gave me.......

Somebody shout. I used to praise God, praise Jesus and the Holy Spirit in their separate names and wonders, but I said Lord, show me the name Jesus, I want to "enter".

And God is faithful to do it for me. I'm so grateful, when I say Jesus now, I have extra revelation behind the name

God is great and greatly to be praised

Revelation 4

2 Sam 23 vs 1

David knew who he was. As huge as he is, his last words were wise. He did not lift himself high, but humbled himself. He mentioned his accomplishments and mentioned that they were not by his power. He recognized the help of God. He admitted that he was not perfect, but God still helped him. Most of all, he said he had the Holy Spirit as a guide. Do we have the Holy Spirit as a guide. Do we ignore Him when we are not in dire need. Let us cling to Him as He consistently yearns for an intimate friendship with us and regardless of us. Don't judge yourself out of His fellowship. 

Revelation 3

Matthew 4 vs 1,2. Jesus was ever ready, are you?

The bible says that after baptism Jesus was led by the Spirit of God into the desert where He was going to get tempted. What did He do, complain? No. Refuse? No. The word says He fasted for forty days and forty nights, then He was hungry. That is focus. Is your Spirit in tune with the Spirit of God to know what to do at all times. After an impartation of anointing such as in baptism, The Lord gives opportunities for faith. Let us pray for focus to succeed through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 4 vs 1 Be Hungry for your calling

When Jesus knew He would be tempted, He went into a fast and prepared Himself. It is refreshing when you have come into terms with your fast and the physical hunger goes away and is replaced by a hunger to quote scripture, to pray, to study to show yourself approved and to do the work which you have been sent. After the fast, the word says that Jesus was hungry. Imagine a 40 day hunger from a successful fast. Let us pray that God will strengthen us in our fast by the power of the Holy Spirit and for the race set before us.

Matthew 4 vs 8 the devil took Jesus to the mountain

What mountain is the devil trying to take you to for temptation, what glory is he showing you. Let us be steadfast like our Lord Jesus. He could discern that a mountain is a mountain regardless of how glorious it looks and the devil gives with sorrow. How do you bring someone to a heap of trouble and misery called a mountain and then promise them the world. The devil is a liar, that world would have been attached to every form of spiritual mountain. Thank God Jesus pointed all back to Jehovah who blesses without adding sorrow. Let us hold fast to The Lord and learn to wait on Him, lest we fall into a mountain made of greed. 

Revelation

Matthew 3 vs 1-4 Spiritual growth through living a fasted life

John the Baptist lived in the wilderness, ate wild locusts and honey. His clothes and everything showed that he was not concerned with the cares of this world. In everything he did, he was living a fasted life.  Little wonder why it was said that he was recognized in the kingdom of God. He was well versed in the word and prayed on everyone he baptized. He led a focused life of the word, fasting, prayers and moderation. Let us take into consideration the benefits of a fasted life and ask the Holy Spirit to help us in our race to the finish. 

Matthew 3 vs 11

John said that he baptized with water for repentance, when you are born again, there is then the One that comes after John, he says that He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with Fire. Do you know that it is Jesus being spoke of, if you already have this baptism, you are baptized by Jesus Himself. Oh my, God has a hand in your baptism. Go forth and put it to use, you are fire filled, tell the people of the gospel and lay hands and proclaim His name, Jesus. If you are not yet baptized, the word of God says you should desire it. He is faithful to give it to you. When you have it, remember it is not an accessory- it is Power and builds faith. Let us pray that The Lord will use us mightily in His vineyard.

Matthew 3 vs 12 Father, gather me like wheat

Jesus has His winnowing fork in His hand and He will gather the wheat and burn the chaff. Let us check ourselves to be sure we are part of that wheat, that the fruit we bear is part of that wheat. Like Elijah left for Elisha, let there be someone you are molding into the wheat that Jesus is looking for. Let us pray that any part of us that is unpleasant to God, He should consume by fire like that chaff. 

Matthew 3 vs16

Jesus was baptized same way we are baptized, and some things follow this baptism. He came up out of the water immediately; readiness. Immediately following, the Heavens were opened up to Him; power to go forth. The Spirit of God descended upon Him like lightening;he was quickened. A voice commended Him. Now, we also come out of the water, our heavens open and we have the Spirit of God. How are we putting this massive combination to use by affecting the lives of others. Let us pray for a renewal of our baptism daily so that we may fight the good fight with all the armor we need.
