 *FAUSTINA'S STORY* 

The challenges were too much for me and I couldn't do what I used to do. I lost the zeal for fellowship with God . I felt I was alone in the battle. Things were not coming forth the way it ought to be. I became weak and i gave into any little opportunity but the result wasn't as expected.

I lost the eagerness and joy to go to church as depression set in. The bills were too much, family matter arising and so on. I could not even remember the word of God as a shield to my faith. All I wanted was to be alone.

But that didn't work out as I got several calls from the pastor and members. After their calls, I decided to go to church because I didn't want any questions from people. 

After the church service on Sunday, the words of the pastor kept ringing in my ears. It sounds different and confused to me.

He said, we should all give ourselves to the needs of the kingdom but I kept wondering how will I give myself to the needs of the kingdom, when it's observe I had heavy needs on me. I wanted to ignore but the testimony of people who gave themselves to kingdom service and putting the needs of the kingdom first, kept coming through my mind.

I couldn't sleep as the words of the pastor and the testifiers kept haunting me. I couldn't understand what was going on with me. I kept looking forward to the next Sunday as wallowed in tears and deep thoughts. Finally the next Sunday came and the pastor spoke on the same topic with different set of testifiers.

Among all the testifiers, the testimony of a particular lady ignited me and I told myself right on that spot that I will give myself to kingdom service.

It wasn't an easy process but I started it. I left my needs aside and start taking up the needs of the kingdom. I prayed for souls, talk to one or two people about Jesus whenever I am. I also fasted and fed the needy around me. Trust me, the first week wasn't easy. It looked foolish to be but, the testimony of that lady kept crossing my mind.

After one month of consistency and putting the needs of the kingdom first. All my needs were gracious supplied and now I live in the reality of my vision.

Glory to God!

To every FAUSTINA'S,

Jesus knows you have lots of need and he understand and sees all you are going through but still, he want you to put His kingdom first.

Matt 6:33

33
AMP:But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness ([aa]His way of doing and being right), and then all these things [ab]taken together will be given you besides.

He knows you need money to pay your bills
He knows you seek for admission
He knows you are a job seeker
He know you have little to wear and eat,...etc

Still, in the midst of all these, he wants you to seek His kingdom. Giving yourself to kingdom service and every other things shall be added unto you.

It might sound foolish to some, just as it was to Faustina. She thought about all her needs and someone, was telling her to seek first the needs of the kingdom but when she engaged in it, every other things were truly added unto her.

Only if believers, can begin to put the needs of the kingdom above theirs then the word shall be fulfilled in their lives.

God bless us!

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
