Stop doubting what God has told you due to the things you see happening around you. It may seem that people are moving far ahead of you but have confidence that the word of God spoken to you will surely come to pass, God's word is not a competition with the lives of others, it will come to pass in God's timing, Be Encouraged.

God doesn’t always bring us out in the most comfortable way. He doesn’t always make it easy to where we don’t have any opposition, any reason to be worried. This is what faith is all about: being at peace, staying calm when you don’t know how it’s going to work out.

🚨 I Preached The Gospel At My Graduation 🧑‍🎓

PART 2 Judges 16:17 (NIV) A razor has never been used on my head,” he said, “because I have been a Nazirite dedicated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.” I have learned that sometimes, in a personal walk with God, certain expressions, even appearance, can feel tied to identity and spiritual assignment. I am not saying appearance replaces the heart. The heart is still the foundation of our relationship with God. But I am saying that in some people’s journey, outward expression can reflect something deeper about their identity in Christ. We are all called differently, and we may be led into different church expressions, like C&S, Celestial Church, Redeem, CAC, Deeper live or others, based on how God shapes our individual journey and spiritual capacity. For me personally, I didn’t choose every path I found myself on, especially growing up. But through prayer, fasting, and seeking God more deeply, I started discovering more clarity about my identity and what I believe God has been revealing to me over time. So my point is this: Don’t oversimplify everyone’s spiritual journey as just “it’s only the heart.” Yes, the heart is important, but God also deals with people individually. And sometimes, even appearance and personal convictions become part of how someone understands their identity in Christ. It is not about judgment. It is about understanding that people walk with God differently, and each person is still learning how to align with what God is revealing to them personally. If you are saying that appearance does not matter to God and that only the heart matters because that is what He sees, then I think that view is incomplete. God indeed looks at the heart, but He also shapes and observes the outward expression of a person’s life, because it can reflect identity and what someone carries in their walk with Him. However, this is not about judging spirituality by appearance. It is about understanding that in a personal journey with God, outward expression can sometimes be influenced by conviction, calling, and identity in Christ. At the same time, no one should become extreme, neither in overemphasizing appearance nor in completely dismissing it. The balance is that the heart remains primary, while outward expression can, for some people, reflect their personal alignment with God. So it is not just “heart or appearance,” but understanding how both can relate in a believer’s unique walk with God.

So I came across this video on TikTok, and I felt led to share my opinion on this particular topic. Some of you still do not know your identity, and that is why there’s always so much argument about how to dress to church, what to wear to church, and how you should look in church. PART 1 We need to ask ourselves some honest questions. Why do you think we have different denominations like Deeper Life, Redeemed, CAC, Anglican, and Catholic? Why are they all distinct? These differences should make us reflect on identity, understanding, and the diversity of expression within the body of Christ. Sometimes, it feels like some believers are still struggling to fully understand their own identity in Christ, and that can lead to misunderstanding how others express their faith. There can also be pressure in some spaces to behave or appear in certain ways just to be accepted in church communities. The idea that religion has been “twisted” often comes up when people begin to seek their own personal walk with Christ. But I need people to understand something: in our journey with God, identity and spiritual conviction can sometimes be very personal, and not always understood the same way by everyone. I’m speaking from experience. I grew up moving through different church backgrounds. My mum was a C&S member(said “was” because she’s late now). When my mum married my dad, she transitioned, and I found herself in Celestial Church of Christ. Later on, (growing up) I had exposure to Redeem and other church expressions because I chose to, and because I didn’t like the Celestial Church doctrine with its spiritual practices and all. But I want to be honest, I didn’t always understand everything doctrinally at the time. In my earlier walk with God, I was more like a “church girl.” I was going to church, but I didn’t yet have deep personal understanding of the Word or a strong personal relationship with the Holy Spirit like I do now. Over time, as my journey with Christ became more personal, I started to experience certain convictions and spiritual impressions. I remember clearly having dreams, about two or three times, where I felt strongly instructed not to let anyone touch my hair or change it, and that I should lock my hair, start dreadlocking it. At first, I found it very strange and even laughed it off. I tried it once, but I didn’t continue. I cut my hair. The second time, I still cut it again. The third time, I also went back to cutting it. Right now, I’m on my natural hair, no relaxer, nothing added, because my hair is very soft. But over time, as I grew closer to God, I began to reflect on those experiences differently. I started to understand that in my personal walk, God deals with people in very specific ways based on identity, calling, and spiritual sensitivity. For me, I began to see patterns in my convictions. For example, I noticed that when I am in certain spiritual environments, there are things I feel strongly about in my spirit. I also noticed that I sometimes struggle with certain expressions in other church settings, and I began to pay attention to what I felt drawn to spiritually. There was even a time I noticed that I find it difficult to pray with my shoes on in church unless I remove them. These were personal experiences that made me reflect more deeply on my spiritual sensitivity and journey. I also remember a moment recently where I saw a video of a C&S lady speaking about dreadlocks, and it resonated with me deeply. It brought back the memory of what I had been sensing for years, the same inner conviction I once ignored or didn’t fully understand. Why am I sharing all of this? It is because I am beginning to understand something about identity in Christ. Just like Samson in the Bible, whose hair was connected to his calling and identity,

@ThePChris lol😂😂😂😂 O’ga o😂😂

Ok let the Trumpet sound now.

What I want to be seeing on my TL👏🏾👏🏾

A generation that is not ashamed of Jesus Christ is rising.

@ThePChris It will, in Jesus name!🙏🏾

Can Nigeria really change for the better?

My toddler has turned me into a prayer warrior since morning. I was in the kitchen dishing her food while she was in the sitting room. Then I suddenly heard, “I miss Auntie Loveth. She’s in heaven now. I want to go and meet Auntie Loveth in heaven.” Omo, I ran out of that kitchen immediately I said, “You will NOT go and meet Auntie Loveth in heaven in Jesus’ name! God forbid!” Apparently, Auntie Loveth is her cousin who passed away earlier this year, but since that statement, I’ve just been praying in my mind nonstop, “God abeg, I will not cry over my children.” Because why are you talking about heaven like it’s Disneyland???

@tweetbibby Exactly…

@MisBukola Hmmm well said. In other words, Don't stop following God's plan and purpose for your life.

I don't know what to post here. And the algorithm is not doing well. Let me leave here for now..

I’ve learned, you’re as happy as you want to be. You determine your happiness. It’s not circumstances. It’s not other people. You get to choose whether you enjoy this day or endure this day. Whether you focus on the blessings or focus on the burdens. Don't miss this powerful message, "Be Happy Where You Are." bit.ly/3LwFSDa

A generation is rising for Jesus Christ of Nazareth. 👑

Back then, during the election period, when many pastors and prophets were giving different prophecies about who would become president, I personally prayed and asked God why some people were confidently saying Bola Tinubu was God’s choice. That night, I had a dream and got the Bible verse: Jeremiah 14:14 (NIV) Then the Lord said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations,idolatries[a] and the delusions of their own minds. So at that point, on the day I had that dream, I was still growing in my walk with Christ. I was really confused, then I called my friend @Saintlammy_ , and we spoke about it. He said some things that made me realize that Nigeria really needs help. When I read it, I understood it as a warning that not every prophecy truly comes from God, even if it comes from someone behind a pulpit. The second dream I had was also very symbolic. I saw Peter Obi’s campaign ground filled with people under about four tents, while Tinubu had just one tent with fewer people. Then I saw Tinubu being brought down from a pickup truck, and before he stepped out, there was so much blood on the floor. It was frightening. After that, I saw people from his tent forcefully scattering the other tents and pushing people to his tent aggressively. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the dream. But looking at Nigeria today, the insecurity, kidnappings, bloodshed, hardship, and the way many Nigerians feel their voices were ignored, the dream now makes more sense to me personally. This is why I believe we cannot continue saying our votes do not count. We need to get our PVCs, educate people around us, and participate actively in shaping the future of this country. Silence in difficult times can become complicity. Nigeria needs accountability, wisdom, and leaders who genuinely care about the people. May God help Nigeria.

Last night made me realize how much I’ve truly grown. There’s this guy I met years ago, I think about four years back. At the time, he was trying to get close to me in a relationship kind of way, but I never really gave room for that. Back then, though, I was an open book. I used to tell people almost everything about my life, my family, personal struggles, plans, feelings… everything. But over the years, especially as I grew in my relationship with God, I started learning boundaries. I learned the difference between friendship, acquaintances, and people who simply have access to you because you allowed it. So last night, after not really talking consistently for about two years, he called me and started asking deep personal questions about my life, my family, work, health, relationship status, and everything in between. And I realized something immediately… people notice when you stop giving unlimited access to your life. I answered respectfully, but generally. I simply told him, “Everything concerning my life, good or bad, is fine.” He then said, “We used to be friends before. You used to tell me everything. What changed?” And honestly, my answer was simple: People grow. Growth will teach you that not everybody deserves access to your personal space. Not every old connection should automatically regain closeness to you. Boundaries are not pride, they are wisdom. I told him friendship means more to me now than it did years ago. I’m learning to intentionally choose the kind of people I allow into my life, people who genuinely uplift, respect boundaries, bring peace, accountability, growth, and sincerity. And I’m also learning to become that kind of friend too. One statement my sister made years ago suddenly makes so much sense now: “Choose your friends. Don’t let them choose you.” At first, I never really understood it. But now I do. Discernment will make you realize that not every reconnection is meant to be restored. Some people return only to check whether your life is progressing, whether you’re still stagnant, or whether they can regain access they once had. And sometimes, when God separates you from certain friendships, going back can become a form of destruction, distraction, delay, or emotional confusion. Not every separation is loss. Some separations are protection. Learn to watch. Learn to discern. Learn to choose wisely.
