Thursday Video: My heart burns for "you"

Have you known the love of God?

Have you received the love of God?

Have you accepted that God loves you forever?

It does something not just for you but IN YOU.

I am sharing this video by Jesus Culture called Obsession
There is no better obsession to have than the Lord Jesus

Now when you know how much He loves you
There is no setback you cannot rise up from because Jesus has always got Your back
and He always always means what He says
He doesn't waste words

I witness Christ

No one ever recovered from Jesus' love
When you know His love it's like you are standing on a rock that you can't be moved from.
If you don't know Jesus
If you have not experience the love of the Father
Seek Him
You are made forever when you find yourself in Christ

I will pray for you that you will find Him.


Enjoy your Thursday.

I wrote this post last week but I was too busy to send it, and I didn't want to send it unedited...

Mine was pretty tough

Not enough time

That is typically the expectation for my age

I will have time enough to rest when I am old and grey.

My first WOW DIVAS. The pretty lady next to me is Ola Awodipe. She is Noir Diva. 

Good news

Versatile Nigerian invited me to share my story here: http://www.malemika.com/?p=1161

It is a humble one but I am certain it will bless someone.

I promise you, I will write from my heart.

Bad News:

They took Linda's blog down

Good News

I just heard that this is what she was earning. Read it yourself.

Linda Ikeji, owner of one of the top ten most visited websites in Nigeria, is generally quiet about her income, but it is estimated at about $900,000 (N140m), revenue generated from ads and sponsored content. 

Eventually found out the following week that her site was brought down and everyone got talking on how important it is to build your house. Later found out that it was a ruse. They needed traffic for their blogs, they needed Nigeria to get talking and I was actually impressed by their publicist skills.

I also built my house at http://www.imagineitincorporatedng.com

Bad News

I can't remember any. Okay let me say I was really sad to hear that they were robbing at Ijora yesterday. I was safe on Orile road when I heard the gist. But then my safety doesn't depend on the road I am on, the One who looks after me doesn't slumber or sleep, He is too alert to sleep on the job. He has promised to take care of me and mine and I am holding Him to His word.

Good news

There is a lot of work to do this week. This was last week. This week is awesome. I have a lot of social media strategies to put to work, analyze and rework. I am expecting amazing strategies to spring out of my grey matter and much profit and I know that it is coming.

Looking dazzling!

Last weekend I was at the wow divas meet at the Oriental Hotel.

WOW DIVAS means 'Women of Worth Divinely Inspired Victorious Anointed Sisters

Random day at work

By the grace of God I qualify to be a wow diva. I had a great time listening to other divinely inspired and anointed sisters. It is awesome to know that you have worth. Those who do not know are a problem to themselves and their world because they don't know their purpose. Just look at the pics.

For enquiries about wow diva: visit http://www.i-wow.org

I remember having a vision of working with women, something I wrote down about the areas I would like to impact the world, something I have a heart for and a passion to drive me. I sense God is leading me somewhere, Holy Spirit help me learn what I need to know o. I know how much I sometime like to drive myself instead of letting the Spirit of God lead me. Don't let me go the wrong way. I prefer it when you are the one deciding the coordinates of my life, I am not very good with a map.

I don fine sha, even though I no dey smile at least my heart dey smile.

Here are some of the pictures taken:

Fabulous wow divas

Their twitter account is @iWomanofWorth or email inspiredwomenorth@gmail.com to learn about the Women of Worth.

P.S. I manage this site http://www.udookonjo.com

The pretty lady in black and blue is the owner of the site written above. The wow divas thingy is her vision. It is absolutely amazing. Women are doing things o. God knows He can trust us with money and other things. She is at @udookonjo on twitter.

The other two ladies are Christians too.

The first one got to know intimacy with God when she was in a car accident and was paralysed for 2 years. She used to be on her face before God worshipping Him. We need God o. It would be great to learn to be intimate with Him without adversity. She is at @yodifiji on twitter

The lady in the middle is the phenomenal Dr. Ada Igonor who survived Ebola. She is at @DrAdaora on twitter.

One of the things you can learn is how to be an entrepreneur, learn what rich people know instead of trying to beg them for money. How long are you going to beg? That is not sustainable. Personally I have suffered rather than begged because i know what my destination looks like. I would work/serve till I get there because "Kings don't beg, they make decrees".

Another thing is to not spend all that you have, don't consume it all. Live life investing the resources in your dreams. If you don't have dreams, you should have some, even bigger ones everyday. If you live life without investing the resources you get in your dream, you would start living an empty life.

I remember being afraid of suffering my final year in college. I had just N15,000 on me (it had been delivered to me via my s) and I knew that it wouldn't carry me through the session. I was squatting with someone who didn't care deeply about me so I was suffering financially and emotionally. My elder sister was working in Yaba at the time. I agonized all day about giving the money or holding on to it and seeing how long it would last. I had been living on the hats I was making in school and my family was going through a rough time so they couldn't help. 

I was externally calm because my flesh didn't want to give the money, it wanted to eat the 'little cake and die' like the widow at Zarephat. My spirit knew what I ought to do. I was going through a storm along with my family and I didn't know the way out but God knew.

 I took my sister out to Mr. Biggs and I had lunch. I needed to quench the hunger so that I could think straight. Somewhere in between eating lunch, I was thinking about the N15,000 with anger. I was mad at the devil. I had been baptized with the Holy Ghost and I knew because I felt His tangible presence everyday but in the physical everything was going wrong and I didn't knwo what to do. I hugged my sister and continued on my way to unilag.

That evening, I went for fellowship, I never mentioned anything to anyone except my sister (she is also a dangerous giver) because some people who move by sight would have talked me out of it. I barely heard what the preacher was saying: there were no words that could calm the turmoil going on inside me. I just knew that I was going to abandon myself to God. In the year 2003, something about a quarter of the year, I went to the altar at my college (I had since dropped out of the workforce: the words weren't touching my heart because I was cold inside, where it mattered and I don't act or pretend) I knew that David and other people danced to the altar, I couldn't dance, I had in my bag N15, 000, I paid a tithe (at the time I used to double tithe) of N3000 and gave a seed of N10,000 and I had just N2,000 in my bag (less because I took my sister out to Mr. Biggs; I was determined that poverty would not kill me because God has delivered me from poverty and I must see the manifestation). When I dropped it, I imagined people saying, why doesn't she hold on to that? Why? She looks so bad already. How will she eat? I shut down my imagination because sometimes it can be my enemy.

After I had given the money, I just slept because I was like, if the devil wants to kill me in my sleep let Him try. Whatever, I am in God's plan for my life. I have done what He has said. I slept off. I forgot about the money and put my hope and faith in what God will do. I had decided not to trust in money that could not take care of me for 3 months when I had so long to go before my graduation from college. It was a battle I couldn't believe I was having. I felt like I was watching someone else in a movie because life is supposed to go smoothly for me. I am the poster child, the special ones.

I walked back to my hostel, glad that I had given a sacrificial seed (I don't think anyone ask for it specially) but I know that I believed in God and my faith in God was being challenged and I was determined not to disappoint God. I wasn't going to trust in money. Well days later I met a dear friend who asked me to come and stay with her. I wanted to hop out of where I was staying but God loves Christians and the girl who allowed me move in with her might have been offended so I stayed so that she would know I was not ungrateful but after exams when school resumed I moved in with this friend to a much peaceful room for me. I met 7 very lovely ladies who sheltered me (there is a difference between having a roof over your head and being sheltered, they fed me, clothed me, laughed with me, gisted with me; it was as if God prepared them for me).

I had people divinely positioned all through graduating, NYSC, etc, I didn't pay for many things, I was getting free things from all over without asking so that my pride and dignity would be protected even though I was receiving help. 

There were times I cried and I wailed and I learned what Romans 8:36 not sure (nothing can separate me from the love of God) the hard way. I say the hard way because even as I screamed those prayers I doubted them because I was just so hungry, I had never been hungry like that in my life apart from Tuesday fasts which I had just learned in 2001 and 2002. What kind of fearsome trial is this that I am forced to be hungry in college and I will not beg because "Kings don't beg". I would cry and rage and in the midst of the raging and near despair I would be screaming the prayers out loud and be in tongues because I know the God who touched me on the 4th of September 2001 after I had been born again for 6 months.

The things that He did and showed me challenged my intelligence. I had learned early to trust in my intelligence and all that I trusted in was falling apart so that all that I could hold on to was God and when I thought that I had had enough, something bigger came again. It was in those times I learned to chase God's word. I would read it over and over and underline it. 

So I know what it is like to be helped by God

I call Him faithful

My el-shaddai who feeds every area of my life, me and my fam. 

I didn't come from humble beginnings, my parents have had terrific opportunities but I have been humbled not by poverty but by God who is the author of divine orchestrations, amidst circumstances that would cause others to cower God has shown Himself to be my strength, my provider, my direction, the lover of my soul, my healer, my sanctifier. I am ready for whatever He is ready for. He is my el-shaddai

The faithfulness of God from 2001-2004 April. There's so much more!

Lessons: God is not a coincidence. Neither are the things that He does a coincidence. He always has a plan. Trust in Him. Take your eyes off people and circumstances and put it on Him. 

Is this a rant? No It is a mix of so and so.

I am tired of the arguments of ignorants who don't know better. I am tired of the fetishes of people who want to be something they don't yet understand. I am tired of being misunderstood.

To explain walking and living in the Spirit, read this.

Faith is a journey but some things are basics.

To hear from Smith Wigglesworth about faith, read here, here and here.

Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God who causes arguments from all and sundry because truth be told, the unbelieving would rather the church be powerless or at least explainable. Everything that isn't explainable is heresy. Ask anyone to describe heresy and the greatest definition I have for heresy is blind hatred. Joan of Arc, the disciples and other notable Christians who aren't in world would best explain this.

I thought I would keep quiet but I won't. Show me your faith by your actions, not just your words and not words and actions contradicting each other. 

You can hear the word for 30 years even 40 and the action you take subconsciously will point to you what you believe if you are conscious of them.

I am not perfect, I have never claimed to be but I have come to the gathering of just men made perfect and I don't have to prove it to anyone. 

The fact that I am a woman does not make me inferior and will never make me inferior or silent either. No one has the right to tell me how to worship my God, or pray or a rote to follow. The bible says we are to worship in Spirit and in truth and I am not living in the north that I should be afraid of worshipping the Lord neither am I living under the law that I should be living to please any human being above God.

Is it still a rant?

Nah, it is a mix of so and so. I used to be fetish but I stopped being fetish with a bang when I surrendered to Jesus. I didn't do it to join a social club either. I came into the gathering of those who are sanctified. I have an inheritance with them who are sanctified; the saints. When I say saints, I am not refering to a church denomination, I am not limited by that. I am refering to the people, them who know the Lord.

I lost my voice for so long that I don't intend losing it to anyone for any reason.

"Milk and honey are in my lips"

"Out of my belly shall flow rivers of living water"

If I am silent, how do I get anything done on earth? How do I exercise dominion? God has made it clear that nothing should stop me from the destination that He has planned for me and that He is not standing in my way. In fact, He is my prompter, He is the One leading the way. How is it possible for me to know the coordinates to get to the place of  destiny without the Holy Ghost leading me?

I laugh. 

This is why I laugh. I wonder how others find their way without God. The intellect of man, our intelligence is a terrible master when we have an enemy who is not subject to the wisdom of this world. How do you best satan with your intelligence. The wisdom of God can and does best satan all the time. 

The point of this rant/post is that I will not lose my voice and I have a scripture that is backing. If any be strong enough. I don't ask you to come against me, No I am not strong on my own. I ask you to come against the word of God that is backing me and see if you can prevail. Many pharaohs have come and gone. There is no pharaoh that can prevail over me because I am not fulfilling my own vision. Thank God I could not conjure a vision on my own. All the years of waiting culminated in a great trust for God. He is the giver of the vision and the fulfiller of the vision. 

"The Lord is my light and my salvation, WHOM shall I fear?"

Here is the word that backs me. If you can strike it out of the bible, then you can come against me. But if you can't. If you have submitted to live under the word of God, then you can't come against me and if you do, good luck besting God.

GALATIANS

Will you accept Verse 29 without accepting Verse 27 & 28?

Remember you can't pick some parts of the bible to obey and leave some other parts out.

The Holy Ghost has said that the devil and his minions are not a factor so I must manage the other covenant relationship He has put me in. As long as it is the right place.

I need to stop somewhere...

Other resources from Smith Wigglesworth except you believe that Wigglesworth is not a Christian too?

Faith being an action here

The main thing is not healing but preach the kingdom of God and His righteousness here

I don't why healing causes so much controversy and encounters so much opposition from many who claim to believe. It beats me.

I am intoxicated by the Holy Ghost, I will never deny Him here

My inheritance: The Holy Spirit is the One who helps you claim your inheritance here

I used to hear the heritage of the sons in my spirit but it appeared to be audible, I heard it countless times until it drove me to read and to search until I found what the Holy Ghost wanted to show me. 

I heard Jehovah Mekoddishkem about a 1000 times or more over three weeks, it was frustrating. At the time I worked in a church, I asked everyone and no one could tell me what it meant. That was when I was lazy. Now I just get out a concordance and a bible and I start studying. Not every time they must feed you cerelac. Sometimes you need to cook the food. I eventually discovered that it means: "I am the One who sanctifies you" so don't be surprised that I don't lose my confidence or get scared. Imagine hearing one word almost a thousand times over three weeks.

Read full of faith here.

So I have been troubled in my spirit for 3 days. I couldn't rest until I wrote out this word. Now I can have peace again.

I am not a pastor and I don't want to be. I honor pastors but the position holds too many controversies for me to ever covet the position of a pastor.

I have been called selfish but I don't believe that I am. If you have received the Holy Ghost and been taught of Him and pursued a relationship with Him you will know that having the ear of God and having God's attention is more important than having a position.

Having a relationship with the Holy Ghost makes that position effective though. 

I will continue after or might not but I know that enough is out.

I am an ALIEN...

God has made us for Himself. He longs for our fellowship and communion. To walk with Him moment by moment, right here in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation, in a world that has no use for a separated, Holy Ghost life, a world whose God is Satan,—to walk with God as the sainted Brainerd and the seraphic Fletcher walked when they were here, to live as pilgrims and strangers in a world that crucified our Lord—that is His design and His purpose for us, How then can we bear to disappoint Him, and thus fail to win His approbation? God wants us to be one hundred per cent for Him. And so the question arises: Are we out and out for Jesus Christ? Are we wholly God's?

This looks very much like 'Pilgrim's Progress'. My sister had the book. I read as much as I could. My Dad found the book and threw it away. I learnt something that day, the enemy is afraid of you getting to know God because then you would do exploits. So you better do all you can to seek God and know Him daily. I always say my family is my inheritance so they will come to the saving knowledge of Christ. None is hell-bound that is connected to me, they will know God. Photo Credit: Google Images

 My mindset right now!

God has made us for Himself.

God created me for Himself. The life in me is His own. The time I have is His. My voice is His. My hands and feet are His. My face, my body, my soul, my spirit, my possessions, my accomplishments are His to do with as He pleases.

He longs for our fellowship and communion.

I pray that I remember to speak with Him daily and sing to Him and pray to Him and read His word and just generally listen to Him. To pay attention to His needs and His voice and His call and His instructions and not to get overwhelmed by it all. To rest when He rests and move when He moves. To live this life He has given through Him. Like I said, I pray I remember daily.

To walk with Him moment by moment, right here in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation, in a world that has no use for a separated, Holy Ghost life, a world whose God is Satan,

To live every moment in Him in spite of the darkness, not within me, thank God; I have been translated into light. To shine in spite of darkness around me in the world because I carry the most high in my spirit. He lives in me so that no matter what darkness I see, I can stand un-intimidated by it because I am conscious of my heavenly Father.

,—to walk with God as the sainted Brainerd and the seraphic Fletcher walked when they were here, to live as pilgrims and strangers in a world that crucified our Lord—that is His design and His purpose for us, How then can we bear to disappoint Him, and thus fail to win His approbation?

I am a saint. I walk with Jesus daily even when I am going to work. Yes, I have a halo. Yes I am sealed with the Holy Ghost. I am a pilgrim. I am not in my world. I move in another’s world. An agent, if you please. I have a mission. My mission is for souls. I need them to know that Jesus has paid. They do not have to wonder in darkness any more. They can come into the family of God. All they need do is surrender it all to Jesus, their life, their family, their purpose. Start with making Him Lord and then getting to know Him, they don’t have to wonder in darkness. They can have a helper the Holy Ghost who will guide them into all truth and show them things to come. That is my call, to witness Christ, to mirror Him and thus draw the attention of the world, draw men to Him even as I go about my daily activities because I am His taxi but He is the taxi driver. I will not disappoint Him, I will fulfil my mission by the power of the Holy Ghost that is in me.

Okay, this lady is just like me, every time I bother to look up, God shows me the way. I am making Pilgrim's Progress, putting to work the things I have learnt. Photo Credit: Reuters. 

God wants us to be one hundred per cent for Him. And so the question arises: Are we out and out for Jesus Christ? Are we wholly God's?

I am God’s. I am bought with a price. I am not my own. I have got an owner, a maker, a keeper, a protector. I am sold out to Jesus. I am hundred percent God’s property. I belong to Him. He is my God. I am His people. We are in covenant.

Thank you (Devotions by Moi)

She sent me the e-book. If you request it, I will send it to you too. Just send me an email at tessadoghor@gmail.com

I can’t hoard it. I want to share it with you that I might save one, bring one to the knowledge of the saving grace of Jesus Christ and bring one to relationship with the LORD. Did you hear about John Osteen (the father of Joel Osteen) he always says, don't allow the devil stop you from copying this book and reproducing so that others get blessed so if you are looking for free material on the internet, you can go there too.

Seek, Find, Live

I found this blog today. Her name is Dora

I read her post and felt hugged. Her words cut through.

I hear some words and I don't even think it pierces through the haze I sometimes feel. This got to my soul today and maybe it will get to yours too.

I saw so much word on her blog and maybe it was the word but I think her blog has a touch of the Holy Ghost. I can't say why I love the Holy Ghost, I just know that when I am conscious of Him, I feel alive. Like I have been living somehow 'without' that thing. I just know that I read her blog and the word ministered to my spirit. My soul felt good. Exodus 23:25 used to be my constant confession. It is on her blog too.

I am conscious of God. Too darn conscious of Him and I wouldn't have it any other way.

When I wasn't conscious of God, all I was conscious of, was how smart I am, how intelligent I am, how perfect my eyes, ears, nose, legs, body is. So it is not like I don't have flesh. I do. I just know what to prefer now. I prefer God. I put Him first. I kill my narcissistic tendencies when they show up, or rather when the Holy Spirit shows them to me. I am His and He is mine. There is nothing that the devil can do about it through whoever. Forever yoked to Christ and pledged to Him. My allegiance is to Him. His allegiance is to me and I trust in His word. I asked Him when I gave my life to Him or received His life; to prove Himself to me and He hasn't stopped. I know God on a supernatural plane. I don't view Him as far away. He is as close as I can voice out and call to Him. I do call and I will call. 

I am not soft. Nothing about me is soft. I do look soft on the outside but I have a very analytical, calculating brain. It doesn't fit my external looks. However I am not what I look like on the outside. God gave me a beautiful house and I am grateful for it. I am my recreated human spirit, alive to God and to righteousness, dead to sin and its baser nature.

I am so following that chic. There are not many people I read and I am instinctively inspired to write about God. There are few and I keep them close. I have lots of people I talk to but not many friends and I like it like that. God and I have a covenant that whoever and whatever I need will come my way. I am open to the people necessary for my destiny but the other people, I am not willing to invest my time, emotions and my energy in everyone BUT when I sense that something is necessary for my destiny, I give it everything I have got. I focus my energies in the direction that God is leading me and He does lead me.

Two CEOs. Read about Bukky George on Mrs. O's blog (http://www.udookonjo.com)

I get a sense of fulfilment from working on this blog because it is a nation builder. Nigeria's and indeed Africa's entrepreneurs and future leaders are being built via this blog so I feel a responsibility to give it all I have got but this will give vision and save the purpose of many. I love to help people birth their dreams because God so orchestrated my life that all the right people necessary to get me to where I am going always came to me and had the right words to say to me to get me moving on the God path. I am glad they were obedient, I am more glad that God in His wisdom caused me to be receptive to their words. I am blessed and because I am blessed I would like you to be also. I cannot do the difficult thing for you though, things like commitment and discipline and sticking to God's word like velcro. I can provide the information and resources that you need in the hope that it will cause you to wake up to your vision and start fulfilling the purpose God has for you.

God bless you all

PS 

I have an inkling this blog post will cause change. Thank you Holy Ghost for your guidance.I can feel God's hand on me. waoh.

Please be blessed. Do take advantage. Learn how. If you seek, you will find

It is the glory of God to hide a thing

It is the honour of kings to seek it out

Or something like that.
