Do not be Afraid

Long time no blogspot! Abeg forgive me and permit me to say Happy New year darlings .

So I wrote this lovely piece by the help of the Holy Spirit a few days back. I believe it’s an incredibly special piece because the Holy Spirit legit woke me up and inspired me to write it, so I believe it would bless everyone that reads it. Here you go!

Dauntless!
Fearless!
Unwavering!
Anchored on solid ground with faith on steroids !

I am  completely unafraid of defeat because the one who has never lost a battle assures me of victory.

Why would I not be at peace  after such an overwhelming and reassuring promise has been given by the one who is called the Promise Keeper?

He also says that He  would fight for me and I would hold my peace for the battle is His and I believe Him,  absolutely.  I have no iota of doubt that He would do what He has said He would do.

Knowing his track record of showing up and fighting for his children as recorded in Scriptures and also evidenced in my life in the previous battles he has fought on my behalf and won why  then should I fear? Why should I worry?

So what do I do until the  next battle is won and there is victory at last?


How?!

I continually praise and thank him whether victory is in sight or not because we walk by faith and not by sight. 

With the assurance that I don’t walk alone and I have the backing of the trinity. He has said He’ll  never leave me or forsake me and believing Him gives me the unwavering reassurance, hope and confidence that He won’t, not even for a second.

  I am still and I know that God is God. Whether it  seems like it or not I daily choose to be still because He has asked me to.

I am at peace because I have the Prince of Peace as my ally.

I  will  therefore rejoice  and stand still as I watch the salvation  of God until he shows up as the Lord of Hosts and gives me victory without a fight.

I therefore  beseech you Dearly Beloved, Fret Not, Find rest, Be still, and rejoice.

God can be trusted to win any battle(s)   your are  currently fighting and grant you total victory.

He has never lost any battle and he is not about to change now because  He is the same yesterday, today  and forever. If He has done it before, He would do it again.

Just be still, stand still, hold your peace and let the one who has never lost a battle fight for you and grant you victory while you praise him and continually rejoice and bless His holy name.

God’s Medicine 💊for us

God’s Word is the only medicine that does not have negative side effects. His Word brings healing, joy, strength and every other good thing or blessings you can think of.

So feed yourself with God’s Word daily.
Once a day, twice a day, twice daily, thrice a day, whatever dosage you can afford to take in per time.

But know that with growth you would have to increase the dosage and frequency of taking your medication.

The good news is that the more you feed, the more you grow, the more powerful you are, the more God makes you His vessel and uses you, blesses you and prospers you.

So, have you taken your medicine today?

Listen to what I say, my son. Listen to my words. Never let my words leave you. Think about them and obey them. They will give life to anyone who understands them. And they will give health to their whole body.
Proverbs 4:20‭-‬22 EASY

How often do you take your medication daily?

Components of God’s Kingdom (His Presence)

When the presence of God is not in a place, the will of God can never find expression.

So before God began the project of creation, He had to bring His presence to overshadow the visible realm. It was within the context of His presence that He began the project of creation.

The presence of God is not just an atmosphere. It is the expression of the dominion of God. It is the expression of the government of God that derives from the nature of God.

When the presence of God comes to a place, the will of God would be compelled to find expression.

The reason we find chaos in spiritual operation is because the presence of God has probably been withdrawn.

You can be in the spirit and not in the presence because when the Holy Ghost is in you, you are in the Spirit, but when you are in the presence, you are in the aura, the dread, the fear and the government of God.

Paul taught us in Romans 8 from vs 9 that If you have the Holy Spirit, you are in the Spirit. You are in the Spirit because the Holy Spirit dwells in you and you are one with Him.

You are under the presence when you stay under the circumference of the dominion and government of God. So when God wants to establish any reality in any sphere, the first thing He does is that He introduces His presence.

That was why what God created was called Eden. Eden means the atmosphere of God’s presence and when the world was in chaos and God returned to the earth, the Bible says the earth was void, darkness was upon the face of the deep. What it means is tohubohu in Hebrew and it is emptiness, voidness, vacuum and endless waste because the authority of God no longer governed the earth.

That is why God began creation again the Bible says the Spirit of God came hovering upon the face of the deep.

He had to introduce His presence before creation or recreation could be possible.

So anytime God wants to bring any reality to the face of the earth, the first component of his kingdom that goes forward is the presence of God.

There would be no revival until men begin to discern the presence, government of God.

This is why everytime a revival is about to happen, men repent. The idea of repentance is for men to return or come back to the government of God.

Message from Apostle Michael Orokpo

Ask with belief.

To be able to boldly ask from God and receive that which you have asked of Him, you must believe that He is and He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek His face. I love how The Message translation puts it in Hebrews 11:5-6 , By an act of faith, Enoch skipped death completely. “They looked all over and couldn’t find him because God had taken him.” We know on the basis of reliable testimony that before he was taken “he pleased God.” It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him.
King James Version says “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”.

You cannot call on a God you do not believe in. This is why John 3:16 says that For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him,  shall not perish but have everlasting life. 

One thing that helps and strengthens our belief of God is knowledge of God.  The knowledge of God entails knowing who God is and the authority and power available to you as a believer and His child.


Scriptures says in Romans 10:13 KJV
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

NIV puts it this way,  for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

It is that simple,  anyone that calls upon the Lords name shall be saved. So why isn’t everyone saved?


I think the answer can be found in this Scripture:


How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
Romans 10:14 NIV

Simply put,  you cannot access what you do not know. Could it be  that’s the reason why there is a saying that knowledge is power? The importance of knowledge cannot be overemphasised.  The Word in Hosea 4:6 AMP  says, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge [of My law, where I reveal My will].

Ignorance is a very dangerous thing and it is one of the weapons the devil uses in carrying out his 3 fold agenda. (To kill, steal and destroy)

The devil knows that once people know the Truth (Jesus) they would be set free, hence he tries everything to put distractions that would make one not to seek knowledge. He knows that everything needed to be an overcomer in Christ and exercise dominion here on earth and fulfil God’s purpose is in the Word of God.

This is why it is dangerous for a Christian not to know the Word. The devil is the father of lies while God is Truth.

It is what you know that would fuel your belief when the devil tries to plant doubts and unbelief in your heart and mind.

You can only declare the true promises of God concerning you as a child of God if you know the Word of God. This is why what we were taught in Sunday  School in children’s church, “Read your Bible,  pray everyday,  if you want to grow” should be our daily mantra.

There are certain things that you cannot find anywhere else apart from the Word of God.

If you do not read, study and medidate on the Bible how would you know about them and when to declare them to silence the lies and deception of the enemy when it comes knocking at the door of your heart?

You cannot solve a problem you are not even aware exists. The first step to solving any problem is knowing and acknowledging that there is a problem to be solved. 

It is therefore important that as Christians we seek knowledge.  Not just knowledge,  but godly knowledge. How can we find godly knowledge? The first place is in His Word. His written  Word. There are so many hidden truths waiting to be discovered by anyone who is willing to seek and find them.

Another source of knowledge is in the spoken Word of God. This is why the Bible says in Romans 10:17 AMP that “So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.
You need to constantly hear the Word to grow in faith which is essential in pleasing God. Scriptures put it this way, “.But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, Hebrews 11:6 AMP.

Be careful what you spend time and energy listening to. They go a long way in shaping your thoughts, desires and beliefs.

Another thing that strengthens our belief in God is the level of trust we have in Him.
The standard or measure of trust God wants us to have in Him is “With all your heart“. He also wants us “not to lean on our own understanding ” and “acknowledge Him in all our ways then  “He shall direct our paths.

Even if God wants to direct you, you have to trust Him enough that He would not lead you astray to obey Him and walk in the way or path He has directed you walk in. Jesus says, I am the Way,  the Truth and the Life. 

This means that there are ways, but there is a way and Jesus is that way.


Follow who know road. Jesus doesn’t just know road, he knows and is the way! So who better to trust wholeheartedly than the one who knows all things?

Human beings may betray our trust, but God would never betray our trust in Him.  It may seem like He is not going to fulfill His promises but God can be trusted. If He has said then He will do it. It is not your job to figure out how and when.  All you have to do is await the manifestations while trusting and believing that all things are working out for your God.

The understanding that His ways are not our ways and that God is never late, in fact He’s always on time would go a long way in reaffirming our trust in God.

When doubts creep in, reflect on past promises God fulfilled and let the fact that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever be your belief and source of strength,  faith, joy and hope.

If He has done it before then He would do it again. God is too faithful to fail. You cannot trust Him and end up being disappointed.  Never!

To build trust however, you must have and build a relationship and intimate friendship, communion and fellowship with God through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. 

The first step is acknowledging Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.

The next step is accepting that “Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. 2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP

As  you intentionally nurture this “new relationship ” through constant meditation of the Word, prayer,  praise and worship, trust and intimacy is built and this is when what Jesus  said  that,  For this reason I am telling you, whatever things you ask for in prayer [in accordance with God’s will], believe [with confident trust] that you have received them, and they will be given to you.
Mark 11:24  AMP 
  becomes applicable and becomes your realty. 

Therefore, Believe and Trust, then Ask . Ask according  to God’s will as found in His Word and with the help of the Holy Spirit till your joy is full and you shall receive…

Until now you have not asked [the Father] for anything in My name; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be full and complete.
John 16:24 AMP

Curate your day. #BibleBeforeBreakfastwithPastorM

Joshua 1:8 ESV

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Joshua 1:8 ESV
https://bible.com/bible/59/jos.1.8.ESV

Always remember what is written in that book of law. Speak about that book and study it day and night. Then you can be sure to obey what is written there. If you do this, you will be wise and successful in everything you do.
Joshua 1:8 ERV
https://bible.com/bible/406/jos.1.8.ERV

Read the word of God aloud till you hear it.
God’s  word is powerful. If you say Let there be light, there will be light.
There is power in the spoken  word of God
It is as powerful in your mouth as it is in God’s

2 Cor 4:13 KJV

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
2 Corinthians 4:13 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/2co.4.13.KJV

If you believe the word then you should  speak it. Speak it to yourself,  to situations,  to God, yourself to the Holy Spirit,  to people.  Spend time speaking the word.  The Bible says you would have what you say, not what you think. God said let there be light and there was light.

Think about the word then speak it. Let God’s word be how you address situations.

Heb 13:5-6 NIV

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
Hebrews 13:5‭-‬6 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/heb.13.5-6.NIV

You would have what you say not what you think. A closed mouth is a  closed destined. Speak  the word so much until you hear it. You shall speak to the mountain not think to the mountain
You believe  then you speak.  It’s  part of the  process  of faith. So always speak the word. There is power in writing the word of God.  
You don’t have to speak the exact words you  read, you can speak revelations you receive from meditating on the Word.

Read the Bible  out loud. Command  your day. Be like God, create your day, curate your day.  Speak the word Say what you want to see.

Challenge

Read the Bible,  read it out loud and speak the Word  of God.

Self Control #BibleBeforeBreakfastwithPastorM

James 1:13- 15 TPT

When you are tempted don’t ever say, “God is tempting me,” for God is incapable of being tempted by evil and he is never the source of temptation. Instead it is each person’s own desires and thoughts that drag them into evil and lure them away into darkness. Evil desires give birth to evil actions. And when sin is fully mature it can murder you!
James (Jacob) 1:13‭-‬15 TPT
https://bible.com/bible/1849/jas.1.13-15.TPT

People always blame either God or the devil  when they are tempted and they fall into  the temptation.

Whatever is tempting you is as a result of your own thoughts and desires that you have meditated  on over and over again. Evil  desires give birth to evil actions.
We should not play with temptation.

Proverbs 4 :23  NLT talks about the  importance  of guarding your  heart. 

You need to guard your heart  above all else for it  determines the course of your life.
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
Proverbs 4:23‭,NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/pro.4.23 NLT

Your heart is the gateway to how your life turns out.

Throughout Scriptures we see examples of people who didn’t guard their hearts, who let who they felt determine what they did.

An example is Samson. He  was strong but he had a weakness, he was tempted by beautiful women who were not Israelites. He lacked  self control. 

God cannot be tempted by evil and He cannot tempt you with evil. Anytime you feel like something is a strong temptation,  run away fast. Save your life.  Joseph fled when tempted.

Challenge :Esau , King  David and Solomon , find out  what happened to them because they couldn’t control themselves.


Guard your heart above all else because it controls your life.

Catch the foxes. #BibleBeforeBreakfastwithPastorM.


Songs of Solomon 2: 15-16. TPT

15. You must catch the troubling foxes, those sly little foxes that hinder our relationship. For they raid our budding vineyard of love to ruin what I’ve planted within you. Will you catch them and remove them for me? We will do it together.


16.  I know my lover is mine and I have everything in you, for we delight ourselves in each other.

It takes work to make any relationship work , dating or marriage inclusive.


It’s the little things, a lot of them (little foxes)  that become big issues in most relationships/ marriages.

Pay attention to the little things and stop taking your partner forgranted.
Don’t just complain about everything they do,  pray and praise your partner too. Appreciate and compliment them.

Don’t just focus on the grand gestures (such as getting them gifts, taking them out or doing really special things on valentine’s day) work on the little things / foxes too. Grand gestures are great and lovely, but the little things matter a lot too. Take out time to resolve the little things together before they become big things/ issues.

Delight in your  partner .  To delight means to please someone greatly.  Give each  other great pleasure. In Hebrew, it means to indulge, to enjoy.

Challenge: Read Songs of  Solomon,  you might get a few ideas to spice up your relationship/ marriage.

Do not excite love. #BibleBeforeBreakfastwithPastorM

Songs of Solomon 3:5 MSG
Oh, let me warn you, sisters in Jerusalem, by the gazelles, yes, by all the wild deer: Don’t excite love, don’t stir it up, until the time is ripe—and you’re ready.

Valentine’s around the corner and love is in the air. There is a lot of pressure going on for singles especially ladies but do not feel pressured to enter a relationship until you’re ready. Don’t enter a relationship because everyone is doing it or telling you it’s time. Don’t let the pressure of being single while everyone seems to be in a relationship make you do anything you might live to regret.

Things to do while you are single.

1. Pray
Let your heart be so hid in Christ that the man who comes for your heart would have to get to Jesus first. You would have standards  and not settle for less.


Spend time praying and build a relationship with God.


  Don’t accept anything lesser than the purest form of love simply because you are desperate for love. You would recognize true love when you see it because you have an intimate relationship with God who loves you truly.

2. Finding your purpose: Spend time discovering your purpose and who you are. 

Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?
Amos 3:3 NIV

It is when you know your purpose, you know who fits into it and who you agree with .

3. Prepare: Learn, read books, read your Bible and prepare yourself to be ready for marriage.

4. Plan. Have a plan for your life and stick to the plan. Be flexible. Marry for where you’re going and not where you are. The person you want to be by your side should fit into your plans plans not derail you.

5. Have fun: Enjoy yourself.  Travel. Save. Learn something new and have fun doing it. Learn life skills like cooking,  driving and swimming.  Go to the spa, watch movies. Just learn new things and have fun while at it.

Challenge

1. Enjoy yourself

2. Find time to pray and have an intimate relationship with God.

3. Take time out to read the Bible so you can find purpose and  establish a plan for your life.

4. Take time to ask God to fill up your life so you are not pressured by happenings around you.

Seeing Eyes. #BibleBeforeBreakfastwithPastorM

Pastor M started a podcast titled Bible Before Breakfast (Vitamin B3) this month and I only just found out about it last night so I had to do some catching up first before I could listen to today’s episode. I must say it’s being incredibly amazing and I have been deeply blessed by the episodes. One thing I love is the fact that she reads different versions of Scriptures as this helps in the understanding of the particular verse (s) in reference.

So today’s episode is titled Seeing Eyes and it’s about the blind man Jesus healed who first saw men as trees before he finally began to see clearly.

You should totally listen to the episode yourself but here’s a summary just in case.

Prayer: Lord give me seeing eyes and a hearing ear.

Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
Mark 8:25 NKJV

7 types of other amazing relationships apart from romantic relationships.


1.Relationship with Fathers : These include your pastors and those that have gone ahead of you in the faith.

Honour them.  Learn from their mistakes. Don’t fight them,  learn from them.

2. Family:  There’s no one like family.  Chose the right person to start a family with. Determine that if you are from a broken home a broken home would not come from you.

3. Friendship: Invest in friends. Surround yourself with wonderful friends and be  a wonderful friend too.

4. Foes:Forget them. Keep moving.

5. Fans: People who love you but don’t understand your calling. Love them but be detached as they can walk away at anytime.
Don’t let what they say get to you.

John the Bapist for example had lots of fans until he declared Jesus as greater than him. Those same fans left him and followed Jesus.

6. Fellows/ Contemporaries: Keep in touch. Stay abreast.  Ask questions.  Don’t be a lone ranger. Have a cordial relationship with them.

7. Followers/ Menteees.  Have people who you are pouring into. They amplify  your voice.  Teach them. Don’t use them, lead them. They’re the ones that would live after you and continue from where you stopped.

Challenge:  Take time to pray and ask God to touch your eyes so you can see men clearly  and not as trees.

Ask God,in the place of prayer  to show you the other  valuable relationships  in your life.

Manual 2022 Conference: Act like a Lady, Think Like a Boss

*clears cobweb *

Happy New Year Darlings!

I really do hope we are all enjoying 2022 so far. We’re in the 8th day of the second month and let’s just say God has been gracious so far.

Abeg una no go too vess for me. One of the perks of being a writer is that there are periods you really want to write but you can’t seem to put pen on paper (in my own case type on my phone to post here)

Guess what I have a podcast too. I haven’t even posted there since October 2021. Ye, who stoned me! It’s not my fault nau. Okay, no excuses, this year would be different. I’ll write here, on my blog and post on my podcast more often this year. So help me God.

https://anchor.fm/abisola-farida-sanusi/episodes/Overcoming-Fear-e18fabu. Here’s the link to the last podcast episode though. You’re welcome

Anyways enough shalaye

I’ve always been a huge lover of Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo (Pastor Kay ) and Pastor Mildred Okonkwo (Pastor M). You don’t even have the slightest cclue how many of their YouTube videos I’ve watched. They are such a huge blessing . I love how they preach the gospel in such a relatable and fun to listen to manner. They give me (and so many others I believe) the hope and the reassurance that marrying the right person is indeed a beautiful thing . Farida focus, this writing isn’t solely about the reasons I love Pastor Kay and Pastor M and their ministry. It’s about the Manual Conference 2022 which you went for on Sunday.

So I had been seeing the billboard of the Manual Conference 2022 almost everyday everytime I go out and where it was going to hold on Sunday no reach 1k transport from my house so I and my baby girl Comfort decided to register and go for the Conference. I mean, it did look like it was going to make sense. That was the best decision I made and the reason why is the crux of this blog post.

The Conference was a huge success from the beginning till the end.

It felt surreal being in the same room listening to both Pastor Kay and Pastor M speak. Pastor M basically launched and marketed her husband’s book 7 things I badly want to tell women (which is his birthday gift to women btw) while Pastor Kay charged us and spoke about 7 Limiting mindsets women have. They are;

1. I am beautiful and that is all that matters.

He said this one major lie ladies believe and that apart from being beautiful, we should develop being smart as beauty is not everything.

According to him, Your hair should not be more expensive than your head. Omo . This one enter sha.

Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful face on an empty head.
Proverbs 11:22 MSG

Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. Proverbs 31:30 MSG

2. I can’t make money without trading my body.

3. It’s a man’s world

According to him, this is a huge lie especially as these days women everywhere are showing us that you can go as far as you want and achieve great feats.

4. I won’t be able to get a good man so let me manage a bad one .

It is better to be single than to be with a bad man. It is better to be unmarried than marry a cheating, beating man thinking and believing that marriage would change him. If he’s cheating before marriage, it might get worse in the marriage, if he’s hitting you before marriage, he might turn you to a punching bag when you marry. Take your time and marry right rather than regret marrying the wrong person. There is no scarcity with God.

5. I am inferior and incomplete without marriage.

Immediately I heard this one I was like Preach it Pastor Kay, please tell them, louder please . Marriage is work, it is an assignment rather than an achievement.

6. It’s a man’s job to take care of you

This one too sweet my belle. Let a man take care of you because he wants to not because he needs to. Stop being materialistic and waiting for a man to buy you things you can buy for yourself. When ya not disabled why should he be made to take care of you like it’s his job. Stop letting men devalue you because of material things. Be rich. That same car he’s taking you out in you can also buy one and be a car owner as well.

Ladies that have rich sugar daddies funding their needs usually have issues when they marry someone who can’t keep up with the life they’re used to. Imagine someone used to entering private jet, ya now telling her come we’re travelling with night bus oh. Problem!

If he acquires you like a furniture, he will treat you like one. Be industrious like the Proverbs 31 woman.

7. I can’t control how I feel

You are a meaningful specific. Find your purpose now before you get married. Marry a man that helps you fly,that is committed to your dreams. Manage your emotions. Don’t believe what he says,believe how he lives/his actions.

The major speaker was Mrs. Yemisi Edun , MD of First City Monument Bank (FCMB) Oh boy! She’s so pretty and a huge vibe, she made so much sense and was not boring at all.

We sang Sinach’s I know who I am before we started and she charged us to always sing it daily before we start the day’s hustle and bustle to remind us about who we really are. She say make una no chew mouth dey sing only “bla bla bla, I am” say make una learn the lyrics and sing them correctly. Once you play it repeatedly for about a week it’ll flow naturally no worry.

Her topic was How females thrive in male dominated industries.

People grow up believing different societal norms such as a woman’s place is in the kitchen, you shouldn’t speak too much etc but no matter your background you can retrain yourself.

As women, we are constantly learning and getting degrees hence her message would be labelled using the acronym PHD’S.

P. Praise. Always look for a reason to praise God.

Prayer. Empower yourself. Do the Prayer so you do not become the prey

H. Hardwork. Hardwork doesn’t kill. Laziness does.

Honesty. People should be able to rely on and trust you. Let people know what you stand for, who you are and what you are. Be objective. Be a person of value. Know and learn when to say No.

D. Determination. Set goals. Determination is a way to success. Don’t listen to excuses. Stop letting excuses stop you. Go for it.

Diligence. Proverbs 22: 19. Pay attention to details. Show what you have to thrive.

Study. Keep learning.

Support System . Build a Support system ❤. Let your husband know your vision and support you. Get a man that compliments you.

Socialise/ Network purposefully. Go out. Don’t live a triangular life. Omo, she dragged most of us with this one sha.

Soro Soke!

Now lemme drop extra gist!

I was able to get a selfie with Pastor M. OMG! She’s so so beautiful 😍. Her smile is just so pretty 😍.
I got one of Pastor M’s books and walked up to her to please sign the copy for me. I killed two birds with one stone. A lovely book signed by the author and an opportunity to talk to her and get a picture too. Smart move right!.
I’m such a sucker for books personally signed by the author.
The person I gave to use Snapchat to take a picture with Pastor Kay during the book signing say is “Ah the picture is blurry oh. Turns out it wasn’t blurry in the end.

Pastor Kay then said oya let’s do a selfie then.

And that’s how I got two pictures with Pastor Kay and got the chance to tell him he replied my birthday wish to him on Instagram and I was glad he did.

Another of my signed books written by my lecturer in uni. I’ve always been a sucker for signed books. I got the book even though I had a copy of the previous edition simply because he was going to sign it.

This might just be a sign that I may be a writer and author and actually sign copies of my book to people. Who knows?

I should attend more conferences like this. Please invite me if you know of any oh. Tainz and God bless 🙌
