BACK THEN


"Tori, something is wrong with me. Back then, I usually get several invites to minister but now, things aren't the same. 

I don't even understand what is going on. These days no invites yet I have never missed prayers and studying of the word. Everything is just silent.
Oh, I miss those period back then" Bukola said as she was lamenting

"Wow Bukky (short form of Bukola)..I expected more than this from you. Why will you say or even think like this? What's going on with you? Tori said as she was confused

Hmmm..
What many have and are holding unto, is the memory of back then.

You will hear words like, back then in school. I used to be on fire. 
Back then, everyone around knew me that I am always hot and on fire
Back then, I could read the scripture ten times a day
Back then, I had several encounters and trance with God
Back then, I had lots of Rhema

Back then, Back then, Back then...

Holding unto the memories of Back then but what is happening now?

Just because you are in phase, where you are not called to minister doesn't means at every slight chance you have, you refer to the memory of back then.

What is going on with your life now?

Fine, everything around you, is going silently than the usual way, doesn't makes you less than who you are or who you used to be.

Just because you aren't called for ministration for a while, doesn't makes you less

Just because you couldn't pray the hours you used to be, doesn't mean you have backslided. Instead speak out and get back on your feet.

Understand every moment you are, hold unto what you have received and what God is saying about the season you are.

Don't use the memories of BACK THEN to disrupt the flow of what God has for you in that season

Keep digging,
Keep fellowship,
Keep preaching,
Keep evangelizing
Keep doing what you are called to do privately or publicly.

Don't think any less of yourself and do not judge yourself from the memories of Back Then.

Hold unto God's word and plans for yourself.
Don't be disrupted by the progress of other
Don't be disrupted by what you have done BACK THEN.

You should be moving forward and not backward

God bless and I love you!

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...
