MY STRUGGLE

Some ladies are like a bird sitting on the ground and too afraid to fly. They have beautiful wings(talents and gifts) that could make them soar, but the pain of past failure is the cry of their hearts. Yet, God has said unto them, "Trust and have faith in me, for I will carry you in your flight. The miracle of life is waiting for you to see." After the assurance of God, there is still some doubts in them that says, "But I can't fly. I am weak, I am a failure! I will fall and feel pain. It's happened before when I tried to progress. I'm afraid of being hurt again." God said again, "I created you, and I will protect you. Your cry I have heard. Have faith in me. That's all you need to do. Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right h...

MY STRUGGLE

BATTLE 50 *IS IT A CRIME?* "What have I done wrong, Why do I keep getting heartbreaks, You know what Sandra, I'm done with relationship I'm done with any guy fooling me and thinking, He is more better than me. I'm just going to sit here and Enjoy my singlehood" Olaide said as she wipe off her tears with the back of her hands "You know I have been saying it all these while, It's not a crime to be single, The thing is that you haven't healed the previous wound before having another one now Then you will assume love isn't meant for you, Meanwhile you are the one abusing it There's nothing bad about being single and giving yourself time It's just a phase and it will pass" Sandra said  Single ladies, Be happy for everyone and yourself, Singles are sometimes blessed because life's not so messed. Everything has a lesson Embrace it for some reason. Don't be mad and sad, Single life is somewhat not that bad, Be very happy because life ...

MY STRUGGLE

BATTLE 49 *WHY STRUGGLE?* "Why do I find it this hard? I struggle so much yet, I can't do anything to help it I have tried so many times but, It just don't work, I'm tired, what can I do?" So many times I hear people say "We are so busy, And have no time to pray." Yet they can sit, In front of the screen, Texting or playing, You know what I mean. Why is it so hard To set aside time, To find solitude And pray... Why do we struggle With boredom each day? Yet, not bother taking Ten minutes to pray? So many hours Are wasted each week, When we could be praying For the answers we seek. Dear Sisters, Let's make a plan At the start of each day, To make time for God And in that time -Pray You don't have to start in a way you can't end Just make sure you are aligned. Don't force yourself to pray for hour when you can't Start gradually till you find your feet back but, Don't stop praying Prayer works!.  *Alokan Temilade Victoria* *Light Lamp...

MY STRUGGLE

BATTLE 48 *NO ONE?* I do not want your counsel and advice. Where were you all when I was enduring hunger? You were not there when I was thirsty and searching for someone to quench my taste When I was having financial problems, You did not assist me in my hour of need. I thought I could depend on you, When I was in pain but, You were not around to sympathise with me. I needed the comforting words of a friend but, I did not see you... I felt that I was going to succumb to my illness. And I had nobody to call out to for help. You did not even try to find out about my condition. I knew that you could not cure my illness, But your presence would have lifted me. Now, I see you do not really care about my well-being and yet, you make me think you will always be there You led me on that, I should depend on you but you let me down This is not the right way to treat someone... Dear Sisters, I know how you feel and I understand you. I know you might feel disappointed because those you think you c...

WEAR THE CROWN

"How do you expect me to wear the crown when it hurts? Aren't you seeing what is attached to it? This crown is of thorns... I can't do this, I can't bear it alone, At least it's not compulsory... I don't have to do it,  If I'm not comfortable with it" Adebola said "Really but you didn't know this will be the repercussion, When you were enjoying the pleasure of the thorns Now, you don't want to wear it crown, You have to wear it because you attracted it"..Mind The battle of the mind has now been a serious battle Many of us are in conflict with our minds because we do things against it, As christians, Don't be carried away by the current situation of the country Don't let it push you to do things you ought not to, Dear Sisters The pleasure of sins, Come with its thorn and either you like it or not, It will come to test you and you will have it's taste  But, Most of you can't stand the thorn of the crown The desire of mon...

MY STRUGGLE

BATTLE 47 *ARE YOU STILL WITH HIM?* "How do I explain this position I am? I guess, I'm just tired of my faith Nothing seems to work It's taking a lot of time but, How long do I keep waiting on the lord I don't think I can go on ... Nothing has changed in my life Pastor Keep saying I will be great but this time doesn't look good I don't even believe in myself. How much can I believe in God Everyone keep says, I have blackslided but, Nobody knows what is going on with me I don't even understand myself I think I need restoration.. Help me, I want to go back to who I am meant to be I was once spiritual but now, I'm not anymore I'm thinking Christianity isn't even meant for me Help me..." People are bringing me down I just can't get my balance I guess I need restoration" Tumininu said Dear sisters, This is a trying moments, A lot of people are going down the christian lane but, Trust me this is not a time to keep gossiping or talking ab...

MY STRUGGLE

BATTLE 46 *A LOT...* People are going through a lot and, A lot are going through some people, Are battling with so much fear? Fear of the next step Fear of unknown Fear of spiritual, physical and emotional battles Among all these,  The worst fear is, Fear of comparison, This moment isn't the time to compare yourself to anybody, That's the reason you bear different names even twins are being called differently  Live your life to please God Take your time to pray, Study, Go out, Have retreats, Attend meetings when needed but never you compare yourself to anyone It affects your self confidence and your general system Don't be lazy and sloughful in your doings. Believe in yourself, Work on improving yourself daily Apply for that which you have always desire and Pray for God's leading on each steps and He will surely led you right! Comparison weakens the spirit, Don't entertain it *Alokan Temilade Victoria* *Light Lamp*

STAND STRONG

Few weeks ago, Many things were not going as planned I was tired I was feeling week but I kept trusting God in all. Either it's going to take time or not, I decided to hold unto His words and claimed His promises Everything went well and I was glad I didn't doubted Him.   He sees it all, those silent tears and unending circumstances happening to you He sees it all, those struggles and pain you have been holding unto for a long time.  He sees those moments when things seem difficult, miserable and even life is turning away from you He knows how it feels, remembering those moment you had lost with your beloved ones. Thinking of how beautiful and caring they were and leaving without saying goodbye He knows about those lonely moments and how you wished you could find someone close to you. To understand you and to talk heart to heart matters with, without being misunderstood. He sees how you wonder life can really be unfair to honest and good people like you but all you have to do,...

NOTHING WORKS FOR ME

Some many times, I feel cursed I feel prisoned I feel I'm in a bondage Why? Nothing works for me? Even when I see people that doesn't worth it and I see how things go with you, I wonder why is mine different? Why do I have to live the blame of someone else I don't even think I have the right to myself anymore" Romoke said hurtfully  Breathe in the fresh air,  Put your mind at ease.  Let your eyes wander To all the beauty to be seen.  If those toxic thoughts you still do ponder, Then let out a scream.  Scream until the pain is gone, Until you no longer feel afraid.  Open your eyes to a new dawn, Let the darkness fade.  No longer compare yourself Or your flaws to others' perfections.  Take the negativity off the shelf. Focus on your direction.  Close the door on self-hatred. Never let it back in.  For the lies it would often tell you, You will no longer agree.  Happiness and love are what you should hold onto. They are whom you should...
