I am going through a dark phase of my life I feel far away from God and his people Sometimes, I act like everything is fine And mostly, like I understand but, I remember all His promises to me but, None has come to pass How am I supposed to trust Him, When He feel so far away? He gave me so many promises, And none of them have come true. I am still knocking on the door And asking and seeking for Him  I thought it was His desire To fill me with living water, I am thirsting for You, my Father. It has been a whole year, Lord, And I still cannot hear Your Word. I have this terrible growing fear That I might have been forgotten  God, my faith is so low and, My spirit is completely dry. I don't know how all this fits in, And I don't understand the reason why. I hate feeling separated from You And this frustration in my heart. I do not know what to do Or where to even start. Is all my seeking in vain? Am I too confused to find You? The only thing I find is pain And confusion over wha...

Many at times, especially during the time when you think that you are almost at the point of doing something great for once and you felt so sure that this is it but, something's just happened and the whole desire, zeal and passion you have for such thing just goes down At that point, many thoughts will keep running through your mind... Am I cursed? Are the village people really with me? Can I ever do something great with my life? Can anything good come out of me this year? Why do I feel like such a loser? Yes, you were almost at the peak of getting it right, but it didn't happen . Especially when you think that will be your breakthrough starting point. Dear Sisters, Jesus felt the same way at the time to be crucified but He said "Not my will but yours be done".  This is from someone that knew it before it happened "Let this cup run over me". Sometimes, it will be hard accepting whatever it's going on. At some point, you might think, Yes, I know it's ...

Beyond money, It's easy to think We have nothing to give; Yet we often have so much to offer Than we tend to believe. You can give a smile To those you meet on your way; It could warm up their hearts And brighten their day. You can give a hug, Sometimes can mean so much. Especially when the person is going through a lot and needs a shoulder to lean on  You can give a second chance, For that willingness to forgive Others for their seeming lapses, Is a blessed thing to give. You can lend a listening hear To someone who seems disturbed  For the comfort it often affords, Money sometimes cannot. You can offer kind words and compliments  Thank you," "Love you," "Well done, You look amazing, Awesome smile.., Sometimes, that's all we have to say To be a blessing to someone. It's true, money is important. So many needs it can relieve; Still we can look beyond  And find priceless things to give.  Dear Sister  If you don't have much to give at this period. Your...

It’s usually dark and empty, In the place that I hide, I’ve built up walls, I let no-one inside. I feel comfortable dealing alone but, The truth is, I want to someone to see me, Don't mind me, how can they when I built walls around me. I want to break free, I just don’t know where to go, I’ve built up these walls, So no-one would know. If I could just tell you,  Would you love me the same? I’ve built up these walls, I’ve got no-one else to blame. The pain in my heart, Is growing rapidly, I’ve built up these walls, So no-one would see. Someday I will step outside, Feet planted firmly on the ground, But someday they will come tumbling down.  I also feel the day is near yet, I keep building walls around me  Dear Sisters, You can't deal with emotional pain by your strength. Keeping walls around you is like dieing gradually  I know you feel lonely in the battle you are trying to overcome but the truth is, The burden will be so unbearable and you can't blame others for not...

You'll Get Through The Day  Stand strong, holding your head up high, Believe me, your life is far from over, For a moment, you may groan in pain and cry, Not knowing if, you will find your own path Be brave for this too shall end, The darkness you see now you need to face, Have courage and embrace strength, Every journey you take has its time and place. I know your heart is pounding, your thoughts racing, You can't help questioning both God and man, you've thrown out the dreams you've been chasing, You don't even have hope But, all you may just need is a new plan. The time will come when it all goes your way, For now, just allow your resilience to grow, I promise you, you'll get through the day.  Keep praying  Keep believing and Don't lose your faith and hope Just because we are in the last month of the year doesn't mean it's the end of the the year. Keep holding unto His word and prayers without ceasing  God is still on His throne!! Happy new month ...

One morning I was looking an artiste page on Instagram and I'm not a fan to follow artiste but I just had to follow, the guy professes Jesus. He isn't shy and I read one of his post where he said Christianity doesn't mean you should stink/stuck.  Yes people will still say a lot of shit about him but guy still was not ashamed to say God anywhere. I also look at the support from Veejames and Prudent. I think it's high time christian see beyond and support people genuinely, they will grow. Just as someone was critizing Bishop oyedepo and Pastor adeboye for being rich getting latest car as gifts, private jet, etc. Like what's the mentality of people about Christianity?  Is it just by dressing covered? Is it only about sign and wonders? Is it only about speaking tongues? Saying sweet things to the ears or What exactly is your definition of Christianity Going to church or quoting bible verse? Is God not meant to be seen in our financial life? Or aren't you bored about...

"You chosen generation, You that still have debts to pay, Have you forgotten? Do you even think you can ever do better That's how they usually pick and drop you, why are you surprised? Ooh...you are still waiting for miracle, can't you see you have so much to do You don't have money, you are broke, You are still single sef Everything just bad all together for you Can't you see your mate, look at where they are now, You should be far greater than this, You deserve a good life, Stop denying those opportunity and do them You think they are bad but look at your life now  Where have this good girl left you now? If you like, don't free yourself be doing Holy Holy" These are some of the words devil use to bound and make us anxious about everything when the bible says in Philippian 4:6, don't be anxious of anything but with prayer and supplication let your request be known unto God. I was teaching with a manual devotional one day about Resisting the Devil and ...

When you're going through life's storm, And you think there's no way out, You're not the first to feel this way. There's hope, without a doubt. It was easier many years ago, But now you feel like a crap, Because of the situation of life And it seems it's here to stay. Your friends have tried to help, But you tell them it's no use, You think no one has the help for you, It seems you can't get loose. Set the problem aside today, Take a break. You have no idea until you try it. What a difference it can make. So your trouble didn't vanish, But it sometimes makes it easier And can help you through the day. If you feel like giving up, How will you ever know, If you had diverted your attention, Learned what God wants you to know? He wants you to be blessed, He does. He loves you even when its hurts. He's cared about you, Since you were a little You know the God you serve Jesus defeated him completely, On that day on the cross Whatever you are going thro...

Let praises rise from the inside, From the inside of me,  May you delight from the inside, From the inside of me, For all I want, is for you, For you to be glorified  For you to be lifted high  All I want is for you, For you to be glorified, For you to be lifted high There was a particular day, I was stressed and hoping to find myself engaged in so many things but there was no zeal. I picked up a particular book I was supposed to read but nothing was entering and I realized it was the stress. So I decided to give myself rest to feel better and be able to read well. The same way, the Holy spirit wants to find expression in us but we are not giving ourselves rest.  Dear Sister, You need to totally release yourself to Him, There is a lot he wants to do with you There are places in the secret place, he wants to go with you but how ready are you to Rest on Him? Free up your mind and rest on Him Lay those burden at His feet and rest on Him *Alokan Temilade Victoria*  ...

  I lay in bed alone at night and wonder why I'm here. I do so much for everyone.  Why don't they show their care? I met this guy who said he loved me,  something I haven't heard in so long. He used me for my money;  What a ride he took me on. There is so much hurt I feel, so much anger trapped inside. Sometimes I wish my dad were here, but to me he's not alive. I have no one to talk to. These drugs seem to be the only way. Turns out it's a lie just like the smile I put on each and every day. I know outside I'm smiling; it's the face I fake for you, But inside my soul is crying and there is nothing I can do. I know my family loves me. I'm sick of feeling like this walked on rug thrown upon the floor. I lay in bed and wonder what the hell I'm doing here. Can I wake up from this dream? Can I please just disappear?  My dear sisters, There are some situations in life we just need to learn from Life is a training ground and there are many questions we wil...

"How can one smile such sweet smiles, When one is so saddened by sorrows for years, How can I smile the same smiles, When life brings me nothing but tears, How can I smile when the weight of the world is on me When everything is crashing down, I wondered for so long, what reason i had to smile. To keep smiling even in the midst of pressure and still keep the sweet smile I obviously wear, I want to break down I want to let it out I want to stop acting like I'm fine because I'm NOT. Behind my smile is pain. In my eyes is hurt and I hide it the best I can. Behind this daily mask because the world choose to see you smile I am a burden I was made only to help and not to stand in the way. It doesn't matter how I feel. Who should care about me? Why would someone? I am the one who helps everyone and deny myself the right. The problem with being selfless... You feel like you shouldn't be helped. So you sit in your pain. Behind you smile. That fake smile, everyone seems so ...

Have you ever found yourself in a position where you feel you are not progressing Have you ever found yourself in a position where you don't know what else to do after trying every means Have you ever found yourself in a position where you just don't feel happy but can't figure out why? Have you ever found yourself in a position where you are getting depressed but can't trust anyone around  Have you ever find yourself in a position where you are helpless and no sign of help anywhere  Have you ever found yourself in a position where you are struggling but you can't show it Have you ever found yourself in a position where you want someone to notice what's happening and tell you straight without having to say a word Have you ever find yourself in a position where you feel strengthened in a position that was supposed to knock you down Have you ever found yourself in a position where you want to cry out loud but you find yourself holding up Have you ever found yourse...

Some days ago, I was having an exam and I was feeling restless, not because I wasn't prepared but because I wanted to write the exam and set myself free of sleepless nights, so that I can have Rest. Same way most of us are feeling restless even as christian soldiers because of hidden sins You know that relationship isn't good for you but you are managing it, with everything that comes with it. You need to leave so that you can have your Rest You love someone else but you are in a relationship and you don't know how to tell the guy how you feel. You need to let it out so that you can be free  You are a committed sister in the church but you are restless because of the hidden sin, extra baggages you are carrying, you need to let it out so that you can be free  You want a better life for yourself but you know, you are not doing it the right way. You need to let go of the illegal way and be free You are in a serious relationship but deeply within you, you know you have not bein...

With doubt, I don't think there's chances for me here? You think there's no chance for you, sis? Why?  The best books haven't been written The best score hasn't been made yet, The best song hasn't been sung, The bes played yet, Cheer up, for there's still space for you  No chance? Why? The world is just eager For things that you ought to create Its needs are incessant and great, It yearns for more power and beauty More laughter and love and romance, More loyalty, labor and duty, You think there's no chance for you in this world! Everyone can still be their best in whatever field! Don't stay back or limit yourself  The best house hasn't been planned, The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet, Don't worry and fret, faint hearted, The chances have just begun, The best work hasn't been done.  Dear Sisters, Don't close your mind on those chance So many people are still breaking records even better than those in the present position, So ...

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, ...

Are you at any point of your life when you feel that your heart is so heavy and can't keep going on again? Do you feel that burden is too much for you and sometimes, you feel you don't have enough strength to speak out to someone. Not because they won't understand but because you don't fully understand what it is yet. Do you at any point feel sad, just because of things around you or with what is going on with you? Do you think your inconsistency with your Father, has made Him lost interest in you and can't approach Him? Do you feel like the greatest sinner and can't approach the throne of mercy? Do you feel you are getting used to the current situation in your life and you feel it will take a long while before getting better? In all you thinking, I want you to know there's more. There's more you can do than just sitting down and getting weigh down by the different thoughts in your mind. There's more to you and you won't know that if you keep dep...

Why are you so different, when you're with friends  yet when we're alone you let your heart unbend.  You try to act cool; you try to act tough, but when it's just us, you're none of that stuff.  You act so much different when it's just me.  There's a person inside you I wish they could see.  Honest, caring and very sincere  I just wish you'd show it when they are near.  I guess what I'm saying is you should always be true, and if they're true friends, they'll like you for you. In this world, you might want to be many things. Some people tell you, you can't be everything, But you can't listen to what they say. You can't let their envy control what you think. With God, you know you can be anything, And it is Christ who strengthens you Haters can tell you, you can't.  Discouragers can tell you, that you won't. No matter what anybody says, Believe in yourself. Anything you put your mind to, Know that's what you can do. No matt...

"I've always viewed life from the side lines, Just watching it passing me by. Also, too afraid to just let go and live, And lately too tired to try something new. I have envied the people around me. Their progress and consistency So invested in living each day, While I spent my time hiding out from my world And searching for ways to escape my belittling thoughts. For most of my life I truly believed I was here to help somebody else, But now it's so clear it was just an excuse. To avoid living life for myself. It's sad that the pain we endure, Can weaken our strength to move on, But if we get lost in the scars of our past, Without knowing our lives will be gone. It's true, people are disappointing, But we can't avoid hurting each other, When we all want a chance at this life. But there's something I've learned, A truth about all of our lives, And that is no matter what path we take, In the end, we just want to survive and met needs" Hope said Dear S...

In every walk you take There will always be a bad day. In every argument you have There might be harsh words When tears kept flowing From failures and disappointments, From sufferings and broken heart, It's okay; no worries. Everyone finds it tough. Even if living is hard, You'll survive and you'll remember How you've fought and not how it hurts. Breathe in the laughter and cherish the tears, For tomorrow may be the best day, And today is only the beginning. Just hang on and keep going. Cry if you must because, For every master is once a disaster, So don't give up. Be brave and believe, For you are strong and you will fight. Be the champion of yourself, For you deserve nothing but the best. Start living today and leave the past behind. Say goodbye to sorrowful tears. Keep going without hesitation. You'll pull it off, just wait and see. One more time, one more try. You'll see the light. Wake up, stand up, and live life! Dear Sisters, Life can be so tough but,...

"How am I supposed to trust You When You feel so far away? How can I grow closer to You You gave me so many promises, And none of them have come true. I am still knocking on the door And asking and seeking for You. I thought it was Your desire To fill me with living water, Yet I am still stuck in the mire And thirsting for You, my Father. It has been a whole year, Lord, And I still cannot hear Your Word. I have this terrible growing fear That You will leave me here. God, my faith is so, so thin. My spirit is completely dry. I don't know how all this fits in, And I don't understand the reason why. I hate feeling separated from You And this frustration in my heart. I do not know what to do Or where to even start. Is all my seeking in vain? Am I too confused to find You? The only thing I find is pain And confusion over what I should do. "Ask and you will receive," You said. "Seek and you will find." Lord, all I want is You, my Friend, And peace within my m...

Many at times,  We are overshadowed by the circumstances and sometimes, We just forget to pray Father, I am discouraged, disappointed, worried, overwhelmed, and burnt-out. I feel downright helpless when life seems to beat me down like this. I know You have not left us and that You are always with us. I ask that You would remind my heart of this beautiful truth: You are not a Father who would abandon us in our trials or in our pain. You are near to the broken-hearted and You have given us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. You are the help we need when we face various storms in our life. I lift my eyes to the heavens and know that You hear my cries. I trust that even if my circumstances do not change, You are working in my life to use these hard times to change me to look more like Your Son, Jesus. In His name I pray. Amen. Don't be discouraged, Sometimes a moment of prayer not minding the duration but out of sincerity can change the atmosphere and cause peace. DON'T BE DISCOURAGED...

You just feel trapped in a cage..  No one sees it, Not even you.. You don't know what it's made of..  You don't even know where it came from..  but you feel it It feels like, it's all around you..  it is full of strength  that it forbids you to move freely..  it separates you from so many things and it strangles your thoughts..  You feel robbed but, You don't know what was taken..  You're in a place  but you don't know where you're heading next You know you've been through a lot  it is seizing you little by little..  you can't stay but you can't go..  You are trapped but no one sees it..  NOT EVEN YOU..  Dear Sisters, There's this feeling that feels there should be more but you end up realize there's nothing more because, You don't understand how you are feeling Today you are here, Tomorrow you are in another place. It's making your decision making and your desire mix up. Whenever you find yourself in such situations,...

You don’t have to be a hero To relieve an aching heart, To ease the burdens on a shoulder A kind word will make a start. A friendly smile may be all You need to raise the spirits high, A gentle touch upon the arm Can ease a heavy sigh. You don’t have to be a genius To know what words to say, Just being true, Is relief enough for that day. You don’t have to be superman To be strong enough to show How much that you care To make a heart really glow. Any of these suggestions Will encourage and comfort each day That you try to help a loved one And take the pain away.  Dear Sisters, Many people are outside  Helplessly in need of people who can be true friends  Many are with burdens and words from you can either Make or March the person  Don't be among the people, Who doesn't seek for the growth and improvement of others  We need each other to survive!!! *Alokan Temilade Victoria* *Light Lamp*

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...

There's a girl crying alone in her room, Wishing she could disappear from this cursed earth. She fails to see how much she is worth. There's a boy that dreams each night, Hoping to muster the courage to talk to his crush. He's too afraid of all the judging and name calling to approach him, But those people lack to remember he's human just as much. There's a man driving home from work, Praying his wife hasn't discovered his lies. Covering up that one night he made a mistake, He has forgotten we all live under the same sky. There's a woman sitting alone, Thinking of all the times  She's wondering if she'll ever be truly loved by someone, But what she doesn't realize is she's worth so much more. Dear sisters, Don't be mistaken, God sees it all, He is watching over all, Watching with unconditional love and pride. Waiting with open arms to welcome you home, He's hoping you find that you are loved for what's inside beyond the physical. ...

Why did I decide to change the course of my life? I was impatient and naive that I let people take advantage of me. My life has turned up side down, and now it is crashing down. I thought I could find love and hold it,  Blindly I went for it And tried to hold on to someone I thought felt the same But only caused myself heartache and pain. I gave all that I had, my mind and body and soul. For what, only to be told that I was not the one he wanted to hold? That I was just someone he could control. Said he was ashamed to be seen with me. How stupid am I that I cry and cry? Cry out why? Why? Then I am reminded of the choices I had made. Those choices have changed my life completely. I have done this to myself. No one is to blame. I thought if I ignored the pain, The pain would go away and things would change. But I was wrong; things have changed. I do not feel the same. For what was once love has turned to hate. And now I must make my escape" Bimbo said as she educate the sisters. ...

"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*

This is for all those people Who hide in the dark, For those who feel hopeless, For those with a broken heart. This is for every child and teen Who is trying to flee from their fears, For those who cry themselves to sleep, For those who drown in their tears. This is for people who hide their scars Upon their wrists and their thighs. I want to remind each of you There is a reason you're alive. You are here for a purpose; You are needed in this place. You are special, you are beautiful.  It doesn't matter what size, gender, or race. You are perfect just the way you are. You are priceless, a wonderful new. You are dearly treasured by many. There is no one more important than you.   No matter what you are facing, There's hope in this shallow world and YOU really matter Happy New Month  *Alokan Temilade Victoria* *Light Lamp*

"I lie on my bed, soaking my pillow with my tears. I try to remember exactly what it is that I fear. Is it the passing of time or the love that I lack? Is it the mistakes that I've made or the fact that I can't bring the past back? What is it that I'm afraid of?  Why am I so scared? Is it the people I've hurt or the people who've hurt me? Am I afraid of everything that I can't seem to see? Is it the love of a friend or the loss of my family? Is it the possibility that my life can end in a tragedy?  What is it that I fear most?  What do my eyes say I'm scared of?  Is it the sun that sets but won't seem to rise? Is it the hope that I have that always seems to die? Is it the trust of a person that I cannot begin to grasp? Is it all the memories of my horrid past? Is it me?  Can it possibly be that the thing I fear most is the thing I can't be?  The things that I try to understand?  The me that I try to be with when I'm feeling sad?  The person ...

They say never give up. Never give in. Keep fighting that fight So the devil doesn't win.  Through the hurt and the pain,  The sorrow and the shame,  The one thing you need to remember Is that tomorrow is never the same.  Hold onto your hopes and dreams, For your fears are less than they seem. So to all of those who feel like they are losing the fight, And to those who feel like there is no hope in sight,  Take a minute to look at yourself And remember that there's something  In you bigger and greater Just like today,  The sun will shine again. Through the clouds and the rain,  The sun still remains,  And all the darkness will fade away.  So hold your head high, And feel the warmth. It may remind you What you are truly worth Don't give in to any negative words or thoughts  You are better than the circumstances. Alokan Temilade Victoria  Light Lamp

Why are you so different, when you're with friends  yet when we're alone you let your heart unbend.  You try to act cool; you try to act tough, but when it's just us, you're none of that stuff.  You act so much different when it's just me.  There's a person inside you I wish they could see.  Honest, caring and very sincere  I just wish you'd show it when they are near.  I guess what I'm saying is you should always be true, and if they're true friends, they'll like you for you. In this world, you might want to be many things. Some people tell you, you can't be everything, But you can't listen to what they say. You can't let their envy control what you think. With God, you know you can be anything, And it is Christ who strengthens you Haters can tell you, you can't.  Discouragers can tell you, that you won't. No matter what anybody says, Believe in yourself. Anything you put your mind to, Know that's what you can do. No matt...

He gives me strength  when I have none, Even on days when I'm weary  and can do nothing but weep. The Lord is there  to dry my sore eyes. Sometimes I wander off the path,  losing sight. That is when he gently  guides me into his light. He is a loving father  to the fatherless, a comfort to the broken hearted, to those who are abused  and have forgotten  the Lord is their healer. When storms toss you about,  causing confusion,  just find a place to pray. Then the Lord will stay by your side, guiding you all the way.  The lord is the biggest comfort and strength anyone can have, If you depressed or derail, Run to God and His words *Alokan Temilade Victoria* *Light Lamp*

Don't walk past Stop and listen to what is happening around, Sometimes the light we shine through, Makes its way to the surface to show someone  That within all this mess and chaos, There is still a spark to help us when we are at a loss. There is so much pain all around this earth. We must hold out a helping hand and show what it's worth, That being there in times of need, In times of fear, stress, hurt and greed. To blanket us in warmth and care, To love, guard us, Share the burden and lift the load. You see, we do have the means, this special gift, And instead of passing by, we need to stop, to help lift, The ones who find themselves in a lonely place. We must care more for one another;  How can you close your ears and eyes and turn away From someone's call for help or a hand reaching out from where they lay? We all need the understanding and must get back on track. A path where we all must walk, A path where we are never afraid to talk. It is amazing the strength that a...

"Hmmm Esther you are on coma from all your explanations. You are gradually fading away and you are not seeing it yet" Busayo said  "Fading away how? Also how am I in coma, you are confusing me. I don't understand? Esther said "Esther you said you don't have the desire to pray anymore. You feel you are not who you used to be before. You are just stuck on the same spot and no movement. You know you are not getting better and you are not progressing too. All these are sign of being in coma but this time, it's your spirit man, you are on a spot. You don't understand the state you are, These are signs" Busayo said "Hmmm... it's true o" Esther said Dear Sisters, Don't be ashamed, Don't feel less Many of you are battling with things you don't want to speak out. Not because you don't know the answer but because you don't want to be blamed about it as a sister but, There's no how you will grow if you don't want t...

Have you ever found yourself in a position where you feel you are not progressing Have you ever found yourself in a position where you don't know what else to do after trying every means Have you ever found yourself in a position where you just don't feel happy but can't figure out why? Have you ever found yourself in a position where you are getting depressed but can't trust anyone around  Have you ever find yourself in a position where you are helpless and no sign of help anywhere  Have you ever found yourself in a position where you are struggling but you can't show it Have you ever found yourself in a position where you want someone to notice what's happening and tell you straight without having to say a word Have you ever find yourself in a position where you feel strengthened in a position that was supposed to knock you down Have you ever found yourself in a position where you want to cry out loud but you find yourself holding up Have you ever found yourse...

Where did it go? The question I ask myself, I don't understand, How did I lost it? How did I lost that passion for God How did I lost that hunger for God? My God! Yes, I still speak in tongues But, there's no vibe That zeal like I use to have while I was in campus That zeal like the first encounter with Him My God! Where did it go? That Hunger and drive, I can't find it anymore... How did I get here? How did I get back? Someone help me..."NIKE said as she cried... Dear Sisters, In this noisy world, don't lose your voice If there's one thing you should do, is to help yourself become a better person each and every day Remember, our standard is not measured by what we have in this world but how far we have gone in touching lives, helping soul and fulfilling God's assignment. I pray God grants us the grace. Happy new month ADENIKE, this month💃🏾💃🏾. Anticipate! Anticipate! *Alokan Temilade Victoria* *Light Lamp*

"I know there's something great in me,  Something I struggle to find. The days and months keep passing As I lie here, stuck in my own mind. Always looking for ways to improve myself,  But I struggle to take that first step. I often wonder if this is it for me Or if I'm stuck in my regret. I try to hide my insecurities  Because the worry is just too much, But they wind up shooting out of me with every passing touch. I'm really trying all my best to move on but, I'm still stuck Sometimes I tried doing things a different way but, I still go back to my old ways, I just hope I'm okay or  Probably, there's something about the past I can't let go" Ada said being worried "Don't allow your past get the best side of you and your time I know you are trying to let go, but if care isn't taken, You will find yourself going back Don't hold unto memories, It's okay to reflect but don't dwell on it for too long.. To be completely free, You ...

"I have no idea why it's this way. It switches from one thought to another. I feel like I am being smothered. I can't finish just one thought. I'm under so much stress. There are things I should confess, Some people say I am so strong, But in reality, they couldn't be more wrong. The outer part of me puts on that smile While the inner me has been dying for a while. From a great mood to a silent mood Most of the days I can push through. Today I don't know what to do. It comes with no known trigger. It's not going away; it's only getting bigger. I want to cry, but I don't know what for. I get these terrible pains in my chest Will these feelings only last for today? 'Cause it feels like they will never go away. In reality it seems it is a life sentence is what I got. I wonder if people truly understand What really goes on in my space. How could they when even I don't? How could they when they simply won't? This not only takes a toll on me, ...

"Have you ever find yourself not enough? Have you ever found yourself not good enough? Have you ever found yourself in a tight corner and all you want is space? Have you ever found yourself regretting so many things? Like Oza, all I want is to be left alone, I don't even understand how I'm feeling " Ifeoma said "Ify, why am I getting this feeling that all these, is because of Chinedu What has he done this time or said to you? Oza asked "Why are you always quick to judge? Did I mention anyone name to you? I don't like this and you need to stop " Ify said angrily "Be deceiving yourself, You can deceive everyone but you can't deceive me, This is not the first time of him downgrading you and you are still in the relationship What happened to keeping your mental health stable? You are here brooding over someone who is probably enjoying the best moment of his life. Why exactly is the reason you are still in this relationship? Oza asked "Oza ...

"I wish I can explain something's but, How do I explain it when I don't even understand There are something's I wish to do, Places I need to go, Thing's I'm dealing with, Pressure I'm passing through and lot more.." Janel said "I see the pain in your eyes and feeling like you do. I wish I could take it all away and skip these years for you"Ada said  "Being a teen is so very hard, it really isn't fair To go through all of this and still feel like no one is there" Janel said "You don't have to tell me how you feel, I see it every day, Like nothing you ever do is good enough, or you're just in the way. If you could see through my eyes, how confident and true You becoming a young woman, but still somewhat a youth. I can't make this feeling go away, I can't fix all of your tears, But I can tell you that I know the feelings and the fears. If you ask me how I know all that you are going through, I will answer simpl...

"Tomike really, can you stop all these drama, Are you out of your sense? I can't believe this is coming from you, How can you belittle yourself this much, Over what?" Ifeoma said furiously "You are beginning to annoy me, Is it because I told you, I knew it,  I could have just kept it to myself and  I'm not complaining, how is it your headache? Tomike said "Oh you think I will just watch you ruin your emotions like that, Over my dead body You know what you need to come back to your senses Can't you see this is a one sided love? How can you be in a relationship so glaring that you do more than you receive Is this how desperate you are Tomi?" ifeoma asked "I don't expect you to understand, You are married and heavily pregnant, Look at me Ify (short form of ifeoma), I'm 31 years old and the one relationship that seems to last, You want me to give up on it, never" Tomike said as she was teary "Really Tomi? Look at you,  You look un...

We don't know the truth anymore because, Everyone is trying to say something, Either in the right way or not? It's amazing how you can do well for someone and, You will end up getting betrayed by gossiping about you, People you trust can be the one, Carrying rumors about you to someone else, Just to make jest of you Don't depend on people, Don't listen to the rumors, Don't join the crowd to make jest of people or, Carry rumors you don't know about. It has become the habit of some ladies, To ruin the life of others by carrying fake rumors to people closer to the victim just to ruin the relationship  If you are in this stage you need to stop, Get serious with yourself and other things, There's no gain in mocking someone based on what you heard even if you confirmed it or not  It has not difference  Live your life and free yourself from every gossip, You don't have to talk about someone to be noticed There are better ways to gain attention but not through g...

"How do I explain this pain me, Everytime I try to rise, I fall Why do they keep deceiving me? Why are they playing with my heart? Flora said as she was in tears "Flora, what's happening?  Speak out to us, We share our life experiences here, You never can know who has passed through your situation" Claira said "It was a deep situation, He even said I was the will of God for him, Yet he got married to someone else, After 5 good years of my life When did I stop being the will of God for him, There's nothing I haven't thought about, This same guy deceived me to fulfil his pleasures, After all these, I was still dump I'm done with this so called relationship They are all deceit" Flora concluded "Fear those spiritual brothers, not to talk about Men generally" Bimbo shouted from behind Hmmm... I know some ladies, have seen shege from Men, Believer/unbeliever Some are still trying to cover up every sin because they love Him and respect Him bu...

Why is everyone blaming me? Many at times, people carry a lot of assumptions without hearing the story, We are also passing through a lot, There's a lot to say" Dupe paused to check their reaction. Knowing fully well that I'm they don't understand what she was saying, she had to come out plain "Off course, I'm a single mother but why do people look at me like shit, an harlot? I had instances where I was in serious relationships but after hearing I'm a single mother, They flee Yes I accept I made mistakes but why does everyone keep seeing me as a mistake. Even at work, it's either men make sexual advances or everyone just assumed I am a loose/cheap lady Nobody even wants to listen, why? Why does it look like I'm the only one that has the greatest sin in the whole world? Why don't they blame the guy too? It amazes me, how fellow women can take up the judge position but fails to blamed the guy too I often hear statement like,. Nobody want to marry...

*T.F.D(The First Daughter)* Many words left unsaid  Many things are unseen But, who can relate What we see most of the time is the result Nobody knows how you got there" Pedro said as she was sharing with the ladies but most of them couldn't understand as she wasn't clear with her words "Sometimes you might thinks, it's easy to be like someone but, Most people don't see the sacrifice, struggles that comes with it. Hmmm" Pedro sighed as she continues "Off course, I am the first daughter and I'm expected to be a role model. Behind the role model, There are some struggles to put a smile on your siblings There are some unhappiness you want to break free but you can't because you want to sacrifice There are some moment you also want to act like a baby even in the midst of every situation but you need to pull yourself together because you are the older one and you have to lead There are moments you starve yourself just to put smiles on your younger...
