When you look in the mirror, what do you see?Or do you shy away from looking because a voice in your head repeats mean words back at you—about your weight, your skin color, or that birthmark that doesn’t quite fit? Do you hear the voice of relatives shaming you for having big eyes or a big nose, or classmates diminishing you?

When you decide to partner with the Holy Spirit on earth, miraculous things begin to unfold. You start receiving revelation about who you are, what God has for you, and what He is calling you into. You no longer need to chase prophecies up and down, because the Spirit of truth lives in you (John 16:13).

One of the essentials of Christianity is hope.

I am naturally ambitious, and I think that is probably why God allowed me into entrepreneurship. Being naturally ambitious is simply the desire to want more and aspire for more out of life. No matter the situation I was in, I always thought, this cannot be the end. I have to make it. I have to find a way out of this. I always knew I wouldn’t just be a nobody — I knew I was called to become someone.

Love is the root of every spiritual growth, and as Christians, our first step to tapping into the great gifts God has for us is to be transformed by receiving God’s love in our hearts and in our minds, to the point where there is less resistance in us when it comes to doing the Lord’s work or being with Him in prayer. (1 Cor 13)

Waiting on the promises that the Lord has spoken can be a tough journey, especially when you feel like the Lord is transforming you. This is also hard when you’re going through a transition—when you’ve lost someone, a job, or your old life. Leaving things behind to step into a new life can be tedious and exhausting, because the flesh is tied to what is comfortable. Your feelings and thoughts are bound to what you’ve always known, so when God is taking things away from you and leading you into a new season, you almost want to resist the change. You want the pain to go away, you want to get to the promise already, and you want to skip the process. This is where many of us feel like giving up and just throwing in the towel.

As humans, we have a natural instinct to make decisions based on our understanding and feelings. To a certain extent, this is helpful—when you are hungry, it makes sense to eat; when you feel pressure, you go to the bathroom. These are normal and necessary responses.

I feel that many Christians have come to see being a Christian as a burden. As a result, they only show up for their Christianity in public on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Yet, many do not truly understand the essence of why we celebrate the birth of Christ and what it really means.

I am currently walking through a season of sanctification—the process by which God reshapes your inner being. In this season, I’ve noticed something very specific: prayers that once seemed to manifest quickly now take longer. Certain doors don’t open the way they used to. And if I’m honest, there are moments when discouragement creeps in. Sometimes even frustration toward God, because you don’t understand why the same issues keep resurfacing or why certain prayers remain unanswered.

I am currently in a stage of my walk with God where the Holy Spirit is inspiring me to read His Word more deeply and truly understand the stories in the Bible as He personally ministers to me. I share this because I realised I had begun depending too much on pastors’ and priests’ pages on YouTube to receive messages, forgetting that I can call on the Holy Spirit directly—through worship, prayer, and Scripture—to minister to me personally and work through my life.

You are called for so much more than you can imagine.

God is good, and at all times, He is good.
