Welcome To Thoria's Diary Page 60  *NANCY'S STORY* Nancy pacing round her room as her friend Ijeoma kept wondering what was going on with her. She suddenly stopped and picked up her pen as she wrote and read out "I will rise after every fall. I will rise and stand tall. I will rise over the wall. I will rise above them all. Like the sun, which never dies. Though sets every night, and every day, it does rise. Like the trees, from seeds they arise, and increase greatly, I will rise and rise. I will rise after every fall and after every fall, I will still rise. After falling once, twice and thrice. Again and again, I will rise and rise" She dropped her pen and stared at the book. Ijeoma, couldn't stay for too long as she asked what was going on?. "I just feel I should have some words of hope that I wake up to say every morning before going out because I am tired of acquiring knowledge today and tomorrow, no application. I just feel these words will keep me in ch...

DEAR SISTERS, Don't live your life being oppressed about the spiritual life or Christian journey of someone else just because of what you see and not what you know. When you begin to see or feel intimidated by the spiritual life of someone else. Watch yourself. You should not live your life based on the progress of your fellow brethren. Neither should you judge yourself based on what you see about others. Instead, of focusing on yourself and your growth Admire theirs skills, appreciate their works and keep moving. If you know it's not working for you. Probably, you need a break from social media. Don't have the mindset of someone is showing-off just because you feel oppressed. You are not the judge, let God judge that. Always be intentional and sincere about yourself and your growth. Focus on God. Don't run away from His dealings, instructions, etc. Let Him continue to guide you and not the people. I pray God continue to help us...Amen! Thank you for always reading, sha...

"I sat down and asked myself, at what point did I lost it. Then I realized, it was at that point when my power failed and I couldn't go on anymore. At that point, where my strength failed in terms of prayers, worship and thanksgiving At that point, where my world was crumbling and I thought I could do it all by myself At that point, where I made some decisions and it affected my whole life. At that point, where I lost my desire and zeal for God just because of the situations of life At that point, where my decisions were made by peer group At that point, where I realized it all and I wanted to get up but Satan maliciously pulled me down and made me think I was doing right. At that point, where I was grieved and angry at the things I couldn't achieve At that point, where the sickness became so much and I needed prayers after relying on my strength At the point where I failed and my result aren't speaking of who I am. At that point, where I got empty of the Word and coul...

Many embrace a gospel that is not the same as Jesus and the disciples taught. We sometimes wonder, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OLD TIME RELIGION -the religion in which the “full gospel ” was preached and taught (1 corinthians  15:1-4) which our ancestors believed, taught and walked in. We live in a time where some ministers have thousands of followers whom they do not want to offend with even the mention of sin. Some preach a gospel of how to be healthy, wealthy, wise..etc and omit how to stand victoriously and resist the devil. Some instead, seems to focus on self -help and how to be successful in life. The successful Christian today is seen by some as one who drives the best car, has the biggest mansion and pays the most tithes into a church to help support a social type gospel. Yet, love for God first and others, helping and walking in the spirit of the lord are birthmarks of a believer that is successful in Christ. God expects us to give as we have prospered yet, it is more than givin...

What do you know about Pain? What have experience do you have concerning shame, struggles, etc. It's so painful that most people, are passing through pains, difficulties, etc and they have refused to let it out but, who can we blame, when we are not God that sees the heart of people.  Except God touches the heart of the person to speak to you or getting the revelation, who can know or see it all?

It's time, to fight for your freedom, don't be a sl...

Welcome To Thoria's Diary  *EDITH'S STORY*  "Hmmm, gift, there's a lot going out there? Edith said as she sat up on her bed "What do you mean? Gift asked "Where are we? Where are we going? I just feel, many people are dieing in silence. People aren't picking up the vision the way it ought to go. People are reducing in the vineyard and the harvests are ripe. Some of our ladies are sleeping with their goals and vision" Edith said as she was worried "Hmmm...who are we to blame? Some who stopped half way are probably facing the pressure of life or personal problem. They don't even have time for themselves not to even talk about their goals" Gift said "I know but we need to charge up. How long do we stay mute and let the harvest decay" Edith said. Dear Sisters, The harvests are the people God had created to reach out to. Many people are outside dieing in silence and what some of them need is someone, who can pray with them and tel...

I know you can be in a situation where you don't understand what is going on or don't know the right words to pray with. I know it can be overwhelming and sometimes, you just find yourself crying and telling God to help you, whispering the words "Help me lord", with tears dropping from your eyes and you feel sometimes, you can't go on Sometimes, the words feel heavy and you just wish that season can pass away but nothing changes. You can go further and tell Him, Jesus, some days my world seems to be spinning out of control. There are days where I long to just throw in the towel and say, "Enough." Where can I turn? Who can I talk to? You're the only one I know who will truly listen, Lord and I know you have the answers but, i can't seem to find them. I long to see a little clearing in this tunnel. I need a little hope, Jesus. Your Word tells me I can come to you for that hope and you won't disappoint, that your load is easy and your burden lig...

"Mo, aren't you noticing what's going on now? I am even confused. Life doesn't seems easy the way it should be. It seems it's getting tougher everyday. Even social media seems boring.Thank God for the likes of Bro shaggi and co, if not I don't know what it will be like" Tinuke said as she dropped her phone and faced Morayo "Hmmm... Tinuke, I won't lie to you. All what you said is true and social media isn't even helping because everyone is sorting for a way to balance things.  Life doesn't get easier, we only get tougher" Morayo said "That's true Mo because at a point, I was depressed and tired of everything. Even to press my phone was work. I felt so lazy without doing anything. When all these were happening, I made myself strong and I was determined not to remaining in that same position. Even in the midst of all these, I thought of what others will be passing through" Tinuke said "My sister, we are in the system ...

Welcome To Thoria's Diary Page 57  *LOVE'S STORY* It's funny how people stare whenever I tell them my name is Love. It looks like, they don't believe me but it doesn't change the fact that my name is still Love. I always wish my name can be a representative of what people think about me but nothing like such, seems to be happening. I always like to satisfy and help people so, I put them in order but all I get in return is regrets, blame and disappointment. I thought helping people shouldn't be use against you but I got to realize that not everyone can be helped or trusted. I love to be of help to everyone but I got to realize some people don't worth the sacrifice. Instead, they end up blaming and complaining about the little help I offered. Sometimes, I just wish I could stop but I don't feel at ease yet, I keep regretting my actions. Why can't people be satisfied? Why do they request for what they can't give? Why don't they appreciate the li...
