“Petrichor” is the smell of the earth when rain falls on dry ground. Taking a lungful of that air is as exciting as opening a present and not knowing what lies within or a fresh canvas waiting to be given expression.

In a couple of hours, it’ll be a new week and here are four things to be reminded of:

1. Watch your self closely 

Are there some things that have totally become a part of you that is wrong but makes you comfortable wallowing in sin?


2. Thoughts¿

What kind of thoughts consume your mind? What are you constantly brooding on? This new week and beyond remember what the word of God says in the book of Philippians chapter four verse eight; “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things.” NIV


3. Waiting on Abba

It cannot have been a stroll in the park or strawberry fields forever for Abraham or Joseph and so many other biblical characters to have held on to Abba’s promise even when it seemed impossible. But they did it.They waited on Him. They drew strength from Him and you can too.


4. The Word

Have you ever been on your phone for two hours and the moment you open your bible your eyelids are drooping? That’s something very relatable. I urge you to take personal bible study to the next level. I recommend getting the book “sturdy” by Idy Archibong. I assure you that you’ll be seeing personal bible study through a different lens.

                        With love,

                                   MWJ.

A Life.

John 14:6 NIV [6] Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  Life is defined as a worthwhile existence. A lot of people are alive but are not actually living. Are you really living? Is your life characterised by some daily routine: sleep, eat, greet and repeat? Hey friend, there's more to life! There's so much in store for you. Don't live a casual life to please someone or conform to a standard or to criteria that don't speak truth. Do you want to be true? God has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light to show forth His praises and to fulfill destiny. What does His word say? It says in 3 John:2 that He wishes above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. Also, Jeremiah 29:11 says that the thoughts God thinks about you are thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you an expected end. There is a void in everyone's life that can only be filled by Jesus. Jesus is t...

Patience (Not Ozokwor)

I’m going to be real with you, being patient is hard. Whether it’s waiting for a text back, sitting in Lagos traffic, dealing with slow internet speed, or wondering when life will finally make sense, patience is one of those things we all wish we had but don’t enjoy developing. And yet, it’s a Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Meaning, it’s something God expects to grow in us, not something we magically wake up with. But how do you stay patient when everything around you screams, “Do it now! Get it now! Why are you waiting?!” Why Do We Even Need Patience? Patience isn’t just about sitting still and waiting, it’s about trusting God’s timing when things aren’t going our way. Think about Abraham. God promised him descendants as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5), but he had to wait 25 years before Isaac was born. David was anointed as king in his teenage years but didn’t take the throne until he was 30 (1 Samuel 16, 2 Samuel 5:4). Even Jesus, the Son of God, spent 30 years in pre...

God

Text: Genesis 1:1 KJV [1]In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. According to the text, God is the Creator. He made all things in a  perfect manner. He created humans in His own image. Everyone was made beautiful, irrespective of the world's standard of beauty. Psalms 139:14 [14]I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. At times, we might feel that we weren't created to our taste. You know what I mean, some of the times, we wish we were taller, had a better body physique and all.  I just want you to know that God, the Greatest One, created you in the best way. Therefore, appreciate your beauty and love yourself. God is a good God that He created man in His own likeness, knowing fully well that He is the most beautiful One. Isn't that wonderful ? Henceforth, whenever we look at ourselves, let's appreciate God for who He is by admitting and confessing that He is our Creator. H...
