WHEN PURITY BECAME PERSONAL


There was a time I thought sexual purity was just a church thing.

Something pastors preached about, not something people really lived.


Until I met myself in a quiet season,

the season where God started asking me, “Who owns your body?”


I won’t lie, i know it is not easy.

It’s not easy to say no in a world that celebrates anything goes.

It’s not easy to stay grounded when your flesh screams and your emotions rise.

But somewhere in my journey, I discovered this,

purity isn’t about shame, it’s about strength.


It’s not about saying “I’m better,”

it’s about saying “I belong to God.”


I’ve had moments I wanted to give in.

Moments I questioned, “Does it really matter?”

But every time, I hear that still, gentle whisper:

“Your body is Mine, and your worth is not up for debate.”


So I chose purity, not because it’s popular,

but because peace lives there.

Because purpose breathes there.

Because I want to look back and know I honoured God, even when no one was watching.


If you’ve fallen before, please rise.

God doesn’t cancel you; He calls you closer.

Purity is not perfection, it’s direction.

And every step back to Him still counts.


“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8


Keep standing. Keep shining.

You’re not weird, you’re chosen. 


Happy World Sexual Purity Day

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, ...

GOD SLOWS YOU DOWN

​ Sometimes God slows you down so He can show you what you were too busy to notice.  There was a season in my life when everything felt like it was moving backwards. Plans that once flowed easily began to stumble. Doors I thought would open effortlessly suddenly became heavy. I kept asking, “God, why are You slowing me down when I’m finally ready to run?” But the more I struggled to push forward, the more life insisted that I pause. And in that stillness,  the one I didn’t choose  I started to see what I had been too busy to notice. I noticed the habits that were draining my strength. I noticed the people who clapped for me publicly but resented me privately. I noticed the warning signs I had ignored because I was too focused on getting ahead. I noticed me, the me I had been neglecting. God wasn’t punishing me. He was protecting me. He was whispering, “Slow down. Let Me show you what you missed.” And what I saw in that pause changed everything.  Sometimes the slowdow...
