Hearing or Learning

You know that thing where you hear words, listen to sermons or podcasts, attend conferences and they sound so powerful that they compel you to want to do differently, to do better, to align with what was taught?

And then you don’t.
The words, the impacts, the resolutions remain just words.

Sometimes you even go as far as preparing elaborate plans, the kind you never execute. Other times, you begin but stop after just a few days.

Dearest reader, can you relate to these circles?

Don’t you think it is probably because you did not truly learn? The whole time you only “heard,” you only “listened” at best.

And like Mr Pojo would say, hearing is not knowing. You cannot learn from what someone said, but rather from what you deduce, reason out, and analyze from what was said.

So, are you really learning, or are you just listening?

Heavy on, "Happiness is a choice"

It is my belief that happiness is a decision we make. We choose it, even with the shege we see and the stumbling blocks along the way.

I feel we always have to choose between, "It is so over for me" and "Regardless, I will survive." Because the truth is, it does not get easier. We all have different challenges, and funny enough, the people we envy or the ones who seem more cheerful and appear to have better lives often carry the biggest problems.

It is not necessary to wear your burdens on your face. Choosing happiness does not mean denying reality, it means refusing to let your pain steal your joy. It is choosing to smile even when you have reasons to frown. It is choosing gratitude over bitterness. It is deciding to live fully, not just exist.

Dearest reader, I hope you remember that happiness is not found in a perfect life, but in a heart that keeps choosing light, peace, and joy in the midst of chaos. So today, choose happiness, not because everything is perfect, but because your spirit deserves to glow.

Do You Really Know?

You know that thing where you know exactly what you should be doing, what is right, yet you fall short in action?

You know the way, but stumble at going the way. You give Stella advice, but you would do so much better if you took your own advice.

You should know better, but really you do not. From the layers of your lips there is knowledge, but beyond your lips nothing.

Then you do not know.

There are levels to this thing called knowing. Hearing is not knowing, learning is not knowing, knowing is not knowing. It takes being and doing to actually know. Emphasis on being.

I read somewhere that if you are sure of something then you will practice it.

In other words, when you know a thing you do not just say it, you live it.

Dearest reader, the insight you share, do you really know it, have you truly learned it, or are you just quoting something whose depth you do not understand?

When you say "it is well," are you saying it because you understand and believe it, or are you just repeating what you have heard someone else say?

Not knowing leads to a circle of saying things we do not know, meaning things we did not say, and miraculously expecting results we do not deserve.

You know that moment when what you dread comes upon you?

It feels cruel, like your fear has finally caught up with you, like fearing is somehow deserving, and it is often frustrating.

It seems as though we can never run too far from the very things we loathe, fear, or do not want to be associated with.

So we go on, hanging on by a thread. We cover our fear with hope, our insecurities with false faith.

We chant "it is well" while it is not.
We say "I am strong" at our very lowest, hoping it gets better.

But saying is not being.
And faith is not denial.
It is not.

Dearest reader, I read somewhere that if you are truly sure of something, you will practice it. Faith is in daily routine, not just in muttering words.

When you say things, do they go beyond your lips? Is your supposed faith at the tip of your tongue or rooted deep in your heart?

Hey there!

Story Time!

A friend I had blocked a couple of months back reached out to me today, apologising for taking me for granted. My first reaction was excitement, that genuine joy that comes with getting a message from a long-time friend you have been disconnected from.

Funny thing is, I couldn’t even remember why I was mad at him or what caused our issues in the first place. So while he apologised, I found myself ransacking my brain to recall what had happened.

Later in the day, I told my sister about it and she teased me about being too nice. Madam even remembered exactly what the said friend did that offended me.

But the highlight of the whole thing for me was not the apology. I didn’t need it, because I had already forgiven and forgotten. What struck me was the act of coming back, the realisation of “I messed up” and then owning up to it by admitting it.

I am not saying I am perfect. The point is, it is always grand when people take responsibility for their actions. It speaks of growth, maturity, and character.

Dearest reader, when next you realise you are wrong, don’t run away from it. Don’t let pride rob you of the beauty that comes with reconciliation. Sometimes, it is not even about the apology itself, but about showing up and saying, “I was wrong.” That act alone can heal wounds and restore bridges.

GO THE EXTRA MILE...

My boss would say, "If someone goes a mile for you especially in distress, go double for them", and that has always guided my heart.

It has become a habit that when someone helps me out, I immediately start thinking of what to do in return, how to reciprocate the goodness.

When someone shows up for you in distress ehn, it feels like cold water to a very dehydrated throat, it is just right. I think it is grand to understand that it is not easy, it is not simple for someone to step out of their reality and extend a helping hand.

Hence, by all means, beyond appreciation, ask yourself what can I do to better express my gratitude? How can I go an extra mile for this person?

By an extra mile, it is not necessarily outdoing yourself or doing more than your capacity. It is instead, going certain lengths for them within your ability. And trust me, it means a lot to them.

Dearest reader, let gratitude move from your lips to your actions. Do not only say thank you, live thank you.
When people go a mile for you, go an extra mile for them!

THE LIFESTYLE OF CHRIST.

"It's not enough to have the life of Christ, you must have the lifestyle of Christ." Pst Phil

You know how being born again automatically makes you have the life of Christ inside of you? Now, beyond just having Christ within, there is the need to live out that reality outwardly.

When Pst Phil was explaining this concept today in church, I paid close attention, because the idea of living out a reality has always made sense to me.

Everything has a lifestyle.
It is first an identity, then a lifestyle, which in turn influences both doing and being.

The point is, beyond claiming an identity, there is the part where you ought to live this identity daily, in your activities, in your essence, in your behaviour.

So it is not enough to have Christ in you. Does your lifestyle express Christ daily? Are you a mirror of what you claim to carry within you?

Dearest reader, it is not about merely doing. It is about being and expressing. My way of living should point to what I claim to be. I should reflect outwardly, consistently and daily, that which I profess inwardly.

Embracing the Ugly Sides of You

"In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you" ~ X

Because we like to skip terms and conditions, we often fall into the trap of loathing our experiences while still wondering why we struggle to love ourselves.

Growing up, one thing I battled with was the art of self love. The harder I tried, the more I felt like I couldn’t, because deep down I felt damaged. Strange, right? But the truth is we all have ugly experiences, and when we don’t embrace those uglies, we can never truly see how beautifully imperfect we are, how deserving of love we remain, regardless of it all.

If you went through a season of waiting, heartache, depression, or suffering that seemed to break you, but eventually shaped you into who you are today, embrace it. Acknowledge it. Do not resent it, no matter how unfair it seemed at the time.

Dearest reader, we are all perfectly imperfect humans. We must acknowledge the journey that brought us here, embrace the scars, because therein lies the beauty of it all.

Struggling with self love?
Maybe it’s time to start by embracing the ugly sides of you, the traumas too.

"When things are done without understanding, they either get abused or manipulated. Doing things without understanding becomes a problem."

Read that again.

A gift is only as effective as your understanding of it. Like Pastor Kenny would say; "If you don't understand the purpose of the gift of the Lord in your life, you're going to abuse it."

Do you understand why God gave you that voice?

Dearest reader; Gifts without understanding can be:

• Used to impress, not impact.

• Manipulated, not multiplied.

• Performed, not purposed.

Therefore we must go back to the source, the orgin because in the beginning it was not so. Nothing is meant to be abused.

Remember; the essence, the why, or the reason of your gift is far greater than the expression of it.

CHRONICLES OF LADY AVA : Conviction Will Carry You

Ava counts as the laziest person I know, because tell me why she is always looking for where to sit in every gathering. Madam cannot stand for more than two minutes. We often joked that she must have been an old woman in her past life.

That is why when she picked the ushering department in church, it was shocking. My first reaction was, "Do you realize this requires a lot of standing?" But Ava claimed it was where her spirit led her.

So, every Sunday she would go through the routine of complaining about how much her feet hurt, and we called it her karma. Imagine Ava, who cannot stand to save her life, now willfully standing for hours. It made me realize how much you can do once you firmly decide to. Yes, it can be difficult, but have you seen someone truly set on something? Someone determined from their own conviction, not the type that comes from others persuading them.

Dearest reader, I greatly admire the zeal and audacity it takes to commit to something that is not your strongest ground. One thing I’ve learned is that with conviction comes the strength to carry on.

P.S. Ava still cannot stand long to save her life sha, but during service, madam can stand till daybreak.

So, what have you decided to do despite yourself? Beyond your comfort or your nature, if you truly wanted, you could pull off almost anything.

Who Killed Goliath?

"The LORD who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine." Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you." ~ 1 Samuel 17:37

If there is one thing I have learned recently, it is the power of recounting what God has done previously, as a standpoint to provoke Him to do more. This shows that the past is very essential. It is not to be forgotten but to be reckoned upon every now and then.

When David killed Goliath, I like to think that he was frightened out of his mind. The level of bravery he displayed rested on what had happened before, his past experiences with God, and that became the basis of his belief.

Dearest reader, appreciation is an application for more. When we look back at the great and mighty things God has previously done, it is meant to build faith in us and give us the boldness to face every challenge that comes our way. Let us never undermine the power of remembrance.

I believe it's David remembering and recounting what God has done for him before, that helped him kill Goliath. What do you think?

What is your response to panic-worthy situations?

Today I received heartbreaking news, one that meant I’d be going through a certain stressful process I thought I was already done with. More than the stress, it was going to be largely inconvenient.

It was upsetting. Blinded by the thought of what I’d have to endure, I remembered a message from my church’s ongoing program (FOH). It says, “The devil is in the business of ensuring you forget what God has done before, so as to hinder you from what He has in store for you.”

Yes, the situation looked bad. It looked impossible, insurmountable. But it wasn’t the worst I had survived. I have been in tighter corners that seemed to have no way out, and yet God showed up.

The thing about panicking, like I’ve said before, is that it consumes you. It makes you focus only on what is going on and obstructs you from thinking objectively.

Dearest reader, that quote really helped to calm me down, and in that moment I began to see one or two strings I could pull. In the end, everything was sorted out, and I didn’t have to go through any of the presumed stress that initially made me panic.

That’s what my boss would call a useless use of panic. Lol.

The point is, forgetting how far we’ve come sometimes makes it hard to see possibilities. Because really, like King Solomon said, nothing is new under the sun.

In panic worthy situations, do you see possibilities? Do you remember how you surmounted more last time? Do you see or are you blinded by what is physically in front of you?
