Youthful Strength

Text: Pro 20:29

 The glory of young men is their strength, And the splendor of old men is their gray head.

 As youth and teenagers, there is a strength deposited in us by God. This strength was not a coincidence, God was intentional when He gave us that strength.

 Have you ever wondered why there is an age benchmark on athletes, that once someone is in his/her 30's, he/she is considered old?

 The tune to acquire the greatness, beauty and Glory is in the days of your youth. If you decide not to use your strength, you are rsobbing yourself of your Glory. 


  What are the Strengths you can Build?

1. Spiritual Strength : This is the time to give yourself consistently to Prayer, Fasting, Reading of the word. This is the time to grow yourself in Christ. You shouldn't wait till you are old before you start the things of God. It might be difficult at the beginning, just remember, Persistency is the key 


2. Mental Strength: Here you must be up and doing. Ready to give your shots to opportunities. Learn that skill you have always talked about. Improve yourself on what you are currently on and don't sleep one on or few achievements. Be creative in your sector. Aim for more because the best time to do so is now. 

3. Physical Strength : This has to do with applying and deploying the ideas that God has given to you. Live like someone who is on the verge of greatness. Work hard with your strength so that you will be the epistle people read.


Strength is a currency. Spend your strength wisely. Make use of that strength mostly for your purpose. Be intentional, don't be a bulb that produces more heat than light (a malfunction). Be intentional about your future.

  Have a blessed day..God bless you 🤍

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...

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...
