Memory Verses With Explanation

Key scripture: Acts 12:1-11

At what point did you realise you were sitting right in the middle of a fulfilled promise?

God's promises are seldom what we imagine them to be. Like scripture says; "my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are my ways your ways"..

Our idea of the promise is often different

from the reality of it.

Case in point: the Israelites idea of bread from Heaven in the wilderness,being Manna (a whitish substance) which they had to cook themselves before consuming...

I was scruffling through my old books and stumbled upon a journal where i wrote down prophecies and teachings,took it out and started going through the notes and realized so many prophecies given me had been fulfilled and i didn't even realize it.

I was so preoccupied with the "What Next's" of life that i couldn't see the different areas at which God had moved in my life already.

So many miracles and encounters go unnoticed all cause we have our eyes set on our own fantasies, or are totally lost in the cares of this world.

We pray earnestly for things and when they happen we either don't see it or feel bamboozled by it.

Taking Peter as a case study;

He prayed earnestly for his release from prison alongside other disciples, got an angelic visitation and didn't realise it.

The Angel of the Lord promptly showed up, took him by the hands and led him through tight security gates whilst he was still asleep(spiritual slumber)

He didn't see(understand) his miracle until He had gotten out of the city gates. Then it dawned on Him what God was doing this whole time..

Peter engulfed by the happenings around him was too blinded to spot the fulfilment of the promises made to him and the answers to his prayers that It took the divine intervention of the Holy Spirit to awaken him up to it.

Just like Peter, we are either too preoccupied with the hustle of life, being molested by the government policies of whatever country you live in, dealing with peer pressure, mental disorders, joggling between being a Mom and a Wife while maintaining a nine-five job, etcetera etcetera..

What if we took some time off all that noise and have a time of reflection?

How about we take 30mins off the 24hrs we've been given to sit with the Holy Spirit and have a moment of meditation while He takes you through all that He has done and is doing in this season?

There are certain moves of God that only He Himself can awaken you to.

Now i ask again, how many of God's prophecies or promises are you living in unbeknown to you?

Time to have a vision book check!!!!

Memory Verse With Explanation

Matthew 9:16-17 NIV‬ [16] “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. [17] Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” In this japa(migration) era a lot of content creators have made fortunes off creating migration contents as most Nigerians are either relocating or planning to relocate. If we're being honest out of every 10 friends or family we've heard at least 8 of them speaking enthusiastically about migrating so this isn't news to any of us now is it? But one thing that caught my eye in recent times about this Japa virtual content is the number of views they get per post. I.e "How i relocated to Canada = 200k views in 6days from an account with less than 1k subscribers Ahhhh!! What can they po...

Memory Verse With Explanation

Matthew 6:25-26 NIV‬ [25] “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? [26] Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Since i was born and now i am getting old never have i seen or heard that rats lost weight as a result of food inflation. I have never heard that wall geckos ever ran out of supplies to the point of carrying placards to protest before God. I haven't also seen where wild animals in the jungle like lions and crocodiles ate weeds. They always had their supplies undisrupted. Animals who were created less than us have since creation been provided for how much more you and i who were made in God's image and likeness? Impatience is not what we suffer from as humans but trust issues is. We fear what...

Memory Verse With Explanation

John 13:26-27 NIV‬ [26] Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. [27] As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” PART ONE: THE BETRAYER If you live long enough you'll experience the worse kind betrayal that comes from people who are members of your inner circle. One thing about betrayals is that it always comes from people you break bread with. There's a Nigerian proverb that says "Na rat wey dey inside dey tell rat wey dey outside say food dey"(the snitch is always from someone within) I wish it was an outsider, we won't feel as much pain as we do when it comes from someone trusted. I have had people who i broke my back showing up for turnaround to stab me in the worst possible way ever. I wept for months unending, didn't get clo...
