For Women Only: This is What God So Desperately Wants You To Know

"Daughter, you hear Me say it true: I begin a new thing in you.
The past is behind you. I was there with you. I can show you where I was.
Looking back is not bad, but staying there is not my plan. Let Me place my hand on the places of pain, where you feel alone, where you cry out for rescue.
I have rescued you, daughter. I created your frame, the contours of your skin, the timing of the way your eyes close, just so. I know your makeup, all the details of you, your entire story.
I author you, daughter.
The drafting of your story, your hand in mine . . . there is paper not more beautiful–curls of letters that make Me smile.
Daughter, the story of your name is written in my book, your beginning, the moment where you felt you ended and I begin. That is your beginning, child.
You begin where you end and I begin.
And the story keeps writing, child. After beginning there is adventure. After beginning there is trust and falling and catching and believing and choosing and waiting. There is much waiting and beginning again.
Your story running right off the page with Me."
God x

Let's Talk About Time: Where is Yours Going?

I've come to a stage in my life where one of the top 3 things I am most passionate about is how I'm spending my time. Why? It's one of the greatest gift God has given us - and a lot of the time, truth be told, we squander it. How you spend your time is a reflection of what you really care about. When you find that hours on hours are lost on online shopping, scrolling through Instagram, watching your favourite series, complaining about everything that's wrong in your life, it shows that's where you're truly most invested. It's where your heart and your mind are. Aside from chasing our passions and 'living our best life', how often do we remember that we are called to much more? That our lives are not just for chasing pleasures and being comfy? That we were created neither to just pay the bills or make loads of money? What are you doing with your time? It's a question I now ask myself everyday. It's so important to me not to go thro...

Why We All Need To Stop Feeling Bad About Our Bad Habits

Growing as a Christian and getting rid of bad habits is hard. Growing up, I always struggled with a bad temper and angry outbursts. I was simultaneously a great lover (of people) and a great fighter (my secondary school friends can testify so well to this!). But around 19 years old, with determination in my heart and God’s ever-present help, I was able to contain my emotions relatively well and hardly lost my temper any longer.  All that time, I didn’t realise how much God had worked on my heart, until about a year ago, when I tweeted about my anger issues as a teen and a former colleague replied, “Really? I can’t even imagine you being angry, Kunmi.” I literally LOL-ed. Girrrl, if only you knew! But recently, I’ve had to face my demons again. There’s something about being in such an emotionally-invested situation like marriage that can sometimes bring out things that have long been buried in you, or things you never even knew were there. When I got married, I found that I ...

Are You About to Lose the Gifts God Has Given You?

My brother and I, who interestingly have a 10-year age gap, are constantly teasing, play-hitting or sharing a joke and a laugh (or ten), but on the odd day, we have important conversations about important things. One such rare day was yesterday when we went from gossiping (oops) about specific family members, to talking about gifts.   He opened up to me about how he used to dream a lot when he was younger, where God revealed lots of things to him. But when – as a lot of us tend to do – he failed to take the time to sit with God and work on interpreting those dreams, they soon stopped. However, he found that when he takes some time out to fast and pray now, the revelations through dreams come back.   Then, he said something which really caught my attention. It wasn’t something I hadn’t heard before but it, all of a sudden, sounded fresh in my ears and almost undoubtedly seemed like it was a message targeted at me. He said, “That’s the thing about your God-given gifts. ...
