The Race that's not for the Swift


“Abigail, thank God you will marry a pastor. Then you will understand why I need to take time off to prepare my sermon for Sunday.”

“Eiiiiiissssss! Excuse me sir 😭 As how??? No abeg abeg abeg! Clean your mouth abeg. This is the second time you’ve said it. Please stop before it comes to pass, it’s not funny!”

“Abigail, don’t fight it. Let God’s will be done.”

"God's will ko, Akpabio ni"

Gorgeous, if it were you receiving this prophecy, how would you feel? 😭

I have this very close friend of mine (a good MOG 🙏🏾) who keeps reminding me that my marital door has been opened. Now, this is not bad o… it’s just that WHERE is the door? Because I no see am 😭😭

Anyways, some weeks ago, he said someone would approach me and state his intentions. True to his word, as a seeing MOG that he is 🫣 (somebody shout power!), someone actually did! But because of my bad character 😔😭, the talking stage did not end well… At this point, I think I have closed that marital door myself 😭 Please, let us move on to Rev. Sisterhood 😭😂 It is well 😭😅

So, when he suddenly said during our conversation that I would marry a pastor, I ran with my heels touching the back of my head 😭

*****

But why? Why do people run from marrying pastors?
Aren’t they human beings? Aren’t they handsome? Why do ladies panic when they hear “pastor’s wife”?
I mean… a complete package hand-delivered by God. Why run?

Well, thank you for that question.
Gorgeous, it is honestly not easy to be a pastor’s wife. It is a calling on its own. A ministry on its own. A sacrifice on its own.
Not everybody can function there, and that is the honest truth.

It requires patience, wisdom, emotional strength, understanding, prayer, sacrifice, and grace from God.

So before you shout “I RECEIVE IT!” to those kinds of prophecies, please think well first. And before you say “yes” to that pastor brother, think well too 😭

Mummy G.O is not only in looks o 😭😂
Okay?

Anyways, I did not come to scare anybody..sha... If God calls you into it, He will definitely give you the grace for it.

weekly reminder: WORRY- why you should avoid it

Image
"I know that I will live to see the Lord's goodness in this present life." (Psalm 27:13 GNT) The grace of a new day is worth celebrating, remembering us that life is worth living, one day at a time.  Dear Gorgeous, You see, it’s so easy to get lost in tomorrow. We worry about what hasn’t even happened yet: the bills, the children, the job we want, the relationship we’re praying for (for the single brethren among us 🤗). Before we know it, our hearts are heavy with what ifs. But Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” He wasn’t dismissing our needs; He was reminding us to live in the grace of today. God gives fresh mercies every morning because He knows we cannot carry tomorrow’s load with today’s strength. Gorgeous, everything you long for will fall into place in its time. 💡 This week, remember: Worry doesn’t change tomorrow. It only steals today’s peace...

(Ponder Wednesday): What is Morality?

Image
Gorgeous,  What is Morality? Is God involved in Morality? Recently, I read a book that said that morality points to God. As in, all humans instinctively know there is right and wrong. That's why we argue using “That’s not fair!”, even when we break it ourselves. Morality is not just instinct or social conditioning. Something deeper judges our instincts. The moral law is real because it tells us what we ought to do, not just what we actually do. So, If a moral law exists, then there must be a moral Law-giver. This points to something like a Mind behind the universe. Because there is a mind behind the universe, we do have cause to be uneasy because this Mind is not neutral. It expects goodness, and we consistently fall short. That should unsettle us. Morality isn’t made up. It points beyond humanity to God, and exposes our failure. Now, what do you think? Do you agree? Can we be morally right without God; ie. only relying on our instincts? If you loved this piece, please ...
