Dear Amanda, Today, I experienced something that has left me pondering and considering how you might be faring. As I woke up this morning, I was gripped by a profound craving and a deep longing for sexual affection. My emotions were tumultuous, and every feeling seemed heightened by the presence of self. I’m unsure if you’ve ever been in a similar circumstance, but I must confess Amanda, I’ve rarely felt this way. The depth of this craving left me feeling somewhat lost within myself. I turned to prayer, pleading with the Lord to keep me steadfast and pure. However, Amanda, today purity seemed ..read more

Dear Amanda, Today, I woke up with a weary and heavy heart feeling unlike any other day. There’s a gaping hole within me, searching for something to fill it up. Amanda, these times have been harsh. The more I’ve sought fulfillment, the wearier I’ve become. Today, like many other days, I felt a cold longing, simply yearning to pour out my thoughts to the Lord. You may wonder why I’m reaching out to you like this. It’s because perhaps you, too, are experiencing droughts or yearning for restoration and reconnection with the supreme God. If this resonates with you, Amanda, my prayer, as penned in ..read more

Written by Mary Nwanua So, many of us often experience a taste of God’s goodness, grace, or anointing and mistakenly believe that’s the extent of what is available to us. We settle into a comfortable state, running on the old anointing, old wine, and an unrenewed strength, without realizing there’s more to explore. This reminded me of a scripture in the Holy Bible where the prophet Ezekiel was taken to a river (Ezekiel 47: 1-6). Initially, the water was at ankle level, but as he ventured deeper, it kept rising. So, he had to rely on the Lord’s strength as the water surpassed his ability to mov ..read more

Poor understanding of seasons of one’s life is the reason a lot of people are disgruntled and dissatisfied. Sadly, no one really teaches us these things early enough. More times than not, we have to enter entirely new seasons and hit brick walls before we realise that we cannot attempt to maintain previous lifestyle in this new season. This is also why many matrices for success may not be applicable to you. I’d rather follow principles than follow matrix. You might have heard people say, “If you want to be more valuable, read at least 1 book per month.” This is a matrix. Now, while one book pe ..read more

FACTS ABOUT SEXUAL PURITY DAY Until around 2015, there was no designated day marked as Sexual Purity Day. Surprisingly, other sex-related holidays like Condom Day, Blowjob Day, Threesome Day, Orgasm Day, BDSM Day, Bisexuality Day, Sex Toy Day, Pride Month, Masturbation Month (and the list goes on) seemed to have existed prior to the establishment of Sexual Purity Day. The inception of Sexual Purity Day can be credited to Victor Olukoju (PVO), a Nigerian Pastor and filmmaker. The Brainchild of Victor Olukoju In his words during an interview in 2021, he said: I desired that United Nations ..read more

Trust comes from knowledge, not feelings. The more you know about the abilities, capacities, dispositions, and priorities of a person, the clearer your trust stance towards that person will be. Trusting God is more than a feeling. If you know that someone has the financial abilities to give you a bulk sum but is naturally stingy you’ll rarely trust them if they promised you anything. In the same way, by seeing the heart of a person, their commitments, and capacities, you can clearly know when to trust them, and if to trust them. How well you depend on and trust God is tied to this too. Knowled ..read more

I don’t know what the future holds, Nor how tomorrow will play out. I have not figured out how the next decade will look like But I know Him that knows tomorrow. He has lived in it and has worked it all out. Today, I am laying it all down. What I think are my best plans, ambitions, and dreams. I am laying it all down. The opinions of people and what they think is best for me. And saying YES to You. Your will. Your plans. Your purposes Scary as it seems. I choose to say YES. And step out on the water. Not knowing where I am going. But choosing blind faith nonetheless. I am confident in Your ..read more

Have you ever uttered a prayer so powerful it sent shivers down your spine? I have, and it’s the scariest prayer I’ve ever said: “Lord, order my steps.” As I reflect on the past two years, I’m astounded at how far I’ve come. I’m not the woman I had meticulously planned to be, but I’m achieving things I once only dreamed of in ways I could never have imagined. This journey has made me realize that sometimes, surrendering control can lead to unexpected blessings. I’ll admit it; I’m a “to-do list” person. I love to have every step planned out in advance. I’m a planner and a perfectionist, and I m ..read more

I find it truly captivating that the word “Ember” signifies a glowing fragment, like a fading coal in a dwindling fire. Embers are those residual flickers of light that persist in the aftermath of a fire’s peak, quietly smoldering within the ashes. What intrigues me is how this concept resonates with the so-called “ember months” These months mark the grand finale of the year, arriving as the year itself is quietly waning. By this point in the year, many of us have seen the initial fire we ignited at the start of the year wane. The burning desire to achieve more, to become more, to seize every ..read more

Life’s journey is never without its share of hard times, and sometimes, the weight of pain and adversity can make us question our very existence. But what if, in those moments of struggle, we viewed our challenges not as predictions of destruction but as indications of our preparation for something brighter? For me, in moments of overwhelming distress, I’ve found refuge in the soothing embrace of music. Instead of grumbling, worrying endlessly, or dwelling on unnecessary thoughts, I turn to the therapeutic power of melodies and lyrics that resonate with the soul. One verse from the book of Psa ..read more
