Light Beaming Through

So, yes! It’s the sixth month in your relationship dating this guy who you thought is your “Mr Right”. 

The first five months have been amazing!

He showered you with all the love you never got from family. Family is just another part of your life you don’t even want to talk about or think of. The conflicts? It’s nothing to write home about.


Even your friends envy the kind of relationship you have with this guy. You say to yourself every now and then, “thank God I found him! I’m the luckiest woman on earth!” , “we will watch our hair grow grey together” , “our kids will be just like him”. Your daily fantasies they are.


All of a sudden, breakfast in bed stopped, early morning kisses stopped, you stopped getting flowers from him, late calls and texts response, never checking up on you like he used to, he would rather hang out with his fellas than with you which is unlike him. Worse of all, he raises his voice at you and even threatens to beat you up to a pulp which is never like him. Now, you’re scared! “What is going on with my man all of a sudden?” You’ll say.


You tried to find out over and over again what you have done wrong to deserve the change in treatment but he kept saying you did nothing wrong, he just had a bad day. And then, a wry smile followed.


It got worse! He gets upset over the tiniest mistake you make. He even finds fault from nowhere just to accuse you. You tried to defend yourself and what you heard was a loud bang on the wall. You dodged it, but the deed has been done.

An heavy object just glanced off your forehead! And next is blood.

What?! He just got violent with you! Worse of all, he didn’t feel remorse. He left you to nurture your injury.


Domestic violence has now become a norm for you. At the glimpse of him, you already see yourself getting hit. You can’t even go home to family. You would rather face and endure this hell than experience that hell again. Friends? He prevented any of them from reaching you. Now, you’re like a prisoner in his house. A prisoner is better off even. “Did I just loose my worth?”  “He does not love me anymore?”  “What changed?”  You kept asking yourself with tears in your eyes.


Dear woman, why are you still in that “went sour” relationship?  Love? You still love him? But you are suffering and he doesn’t even care!

Why have you let the devil keep you captive? Didn’t you know the devil is using him to hold you bound?

Do you still have that liberty to dream and be ambitious? Is your self-esteem still intact? Definitely, not!


The sky is wide and beckoning on you to fly again. The door is wide open but why haven’t you come out to freedom? You fear no one would love you? Or hoping for him to change? Or hoping to change him? Dear woman, the change you seek and desire can never exude from him. The love you desperately seek is not in him.


You know where you can get this love?

 “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” - 1 John 4:8

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” - Psalm 103:8

“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” - 1 John 4:16


See, God is all you need right now.

He is love. He wants to mend your broken heart. He wants to heal you. 

He wants to restore your crown. He wants to restore your oil. He wants to restore your worth. He wants to restore your esteem.


Take that bold step of faith and say enough to the devil! Say enough to that toxic relationship! Run out! Come through that door! Today a ray of hope as beamed into your cage and that is God’s stretched out hand of love. Stretch forth your hands too, let Him pull you out and redefine you.


In Him you will find love for yourself again. In Him you will find life.

He proved His love to us. “This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we may live through Him.” - 1 John 4:9.


And He is never letting go I assure you. See for yourself - “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:38-39.


Accept His love and call Him into your heart. Say this: “Lord Jesus, I believe that you love me and died in my stead so I could live. I call you into my heart today to take over. Help me experience your love and live for you. Deliver me absolutely. Amen.


You are amazing, you are loved by God and your worth is far above rubies.

Breaking the Jar of Oil

Standing before the mirror and seeing the many parts of you that are broken can be so painful. I know. The effect of the lies you were told, the betrayal, the “not so good” environment you grew up in, the many disappointments, and the weaknesses you saw in yourself, rather than the strength. All these things and more changed your default to defect. I know. When you act out and people say, “You need healing.” You wonder, “healing from what?” The defect is gradual and subtle, spreading through you like a virus, and before you realise, you're out of control. The anger, hatred, groans, tears, loneliness, lukewarmness, bitterness. . . I know. You stand up in defence at any subtle reach from a “friend.” Dear, the boundaries you've set around your life aren't safety measures; they are your prison. Yet, He who is near to the brokenhearted sees you. He knows. You don't hear Him in those painful times, and you concluded that He left you and will always be absent. Come on, dear! Y...

Unveiling Your Purpose

  Every person has a unique design, requiring a unique preparation for their distinct destiny. There is a “why” for every human being’s existence, and there is only one giver of the “why,” God. God in His wisdom and power made all things beautiful, diverse and unique, assigning a “why” that must be discovered and fulfilled in every being. Before each person's birth, God determines their purpose and assigns a specific time for its fulfilment. This “why” is the core of one's existence. Failure to discover, pursue and fulfil creates a gap in fulfilling God's eternal plan. This “why” is unique for every individual; however, its fulfilment is divinely linked to another person's “why,” making it  more imperative to discover, pursue and fulfil at all costs. The “why” is “purpose.” Many people ask, “what exactly is the reason for my existence?” and seek answers in the wrong places. The curiosity to know the essence of one's existence shows there is a Creator who has created...

THE SHEPHERD CALLS

For the pleasure of now, you want to discard the life He gave? For the need and want of now, you want to deny the very One that saved you from eternal death? You think the mountain is too high for the Mighty God to crush? Why does the praise of men matter to you more than the praise of the One who has called you out of darkness into His marvellous light? The beginning of the lordship of Christ over your life began when you gave your life to Him. You need to come into the consciousness that who you gave your life to is not man but God;  the very Creator of the heavens and the earth.  When you gave your life to Him, the dimension of Him called a shepherd could find expression in your life. You are His tender sheep who was once lost, whom He left the 99 for. Now you're home to the heavenly abode where you truly belong.  Who painted a picture of His lordship being a burden to you? Who is flaunting the temporal to rob you of your newly found life? What pressure is it that...
