We are closing early, yeah I know… I didn’t expect for this to happen. I had great plans for this quarter and for the next but the nudge in my heart to step aside wouldn’t let me rest. I struggled with this for a while, believing it was my emotions. The more I sought the Lord, the more I felt the impression to step away. I strongly believe this is for good. I’ll be back...
My dear readers, it’s time for Ife Grace to retreat into silence once again. My birthday is in a few days, precisely on Sunday (May 19). I’m really excited! Oh yeah! Let the count down begin… I hope to spend some time to reflect on my life and to seek God on how to serve you better. I’ll be away for a couple of weeks and I believe when I return, I’ll be ready to serve fresh stories brought...
The blog is taking a short break which will last from a couple of days to a few weeks. This annual break affords us the opportunity to reflect and receive strength and wisdom for the days ahead. One of the lessons I’ve learnt as I carry out the assignment placed in my hand is the importance of shutting out the noise and keeping the mind quiet by spending time apart in prayers and the study...
I have two things to say very briefly. First, I love you. Thank you for showing up here every time to read my blog posts. Google analytics gives me a lot of information on how my blog is progressing and last month, they sent me a sort of congratulatory message, telling me my user loyalty has increased. Hmmm..how do I explain this in simple terms. Ok, it means, a good number of people who visited...
Since I relocated to Ibadan, I’ve been battling with my health. I seriously don’t understand what I did to this land o. I’ve fallen in and out of sickness and at a point I just stopped going to the hospital and resorted to self medication. I didn’t know how much damage I was doing to myself until this Typhoid reoccurred again and when the test results would come out, it...
Having a relationship with Jesus is a beautiful experience. Every man is a sinner by birth. We were completely cut off from a relationship with God by reason of the sinful nature that came through Adam, the first man to be created. We were condemned and doomed for hell. Because of the love God had for mankind, He sent his only son, Jesus to the earth to be a substitute for our sins. Jesus left...
One of the greatest victories I’ve seen at work in my life is the eviction of the three-fold powerful forces that almost choked me: Pornography, Masturbation and Lesbianism. My understanding of the finished works of Jesus opened my eyes to know the principles behind the daily victories in the soul realm. But there is a pertinent lesson I want to share which may be beneficial to one or two...
Dear Mother, It’s been six years. Six long years since I introduced Niyi to you and Dad. I remember your first question the evening we sat in the living room, as you fixed your gaze on him. ‘You do not look familiar at all. What section in the church do you work? Niyi had glanced my way for help. We knew it was going to be tough. We had talked about it months before that evening. When...
One certain time in my life, I believed so strongly that I would never again see an x-rated video,masturbate or make sex calls. Then shortly afterwards,the urge paid me a visit. Rubbish, how can I fall. It began to tickle me, asking me to take a look one more time. Now, by this time, I had deleted any movie that has even a little as a scene of deep romance and things that served as triggers.(...
Welcome to Journey Series 3. Today, I want us to look at three things that will hinder you from having the recovery that you desire. 1. Wrong Focus. I remember one evening, right on my bed, I had this strong urge to see a porn video. Now, at this time I’d promised the Lord again and again that I would not defile my eyes anymore but here I was, few days later with a strong overpowering...
