How much of our sacrifice will God consider worthy? How much of our praises, worships, thanksgiving, will God consider as worthy enough? Psalms 51:17 (KJV)   says “ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. As I was observing my siesta after I returned from service, I don’t know if I was dreaming but all I kept hearing was “ worthy sacrifice, worthy sacrifice”.   I quickly woke up and knew God wanted me to write on this topic. I started by asking myself what kind of sacrifice will I offer to the Lord and it will be considered a worthy sacrifice? What kind of sacrifice will you offer to God and it will be considered a worthy sacrifice? Abraham is the father of many nations, loved and blessed by God. Today we are proud to say we are the sons of Abraham. We even have a popular song we sing in Nigeria “ Father Abraham has many sons, many sons have father Abraham, I am one of them and so are you, ...

Hi everyone, am I the only one or is there anyone else thankful for this holiday break? I wish the holidays could stretch a little longer but then it’s not just about me. Many of us have jobs, businesses, school, life to get back to. Wondering what holiday am talking about? Well, I am referring to the break given to all our Muslim faithful’s as they round up their fast and since it’s a national break it extended to everyone in the country. Yesterday, I wrote on agreeing with God and how we need to value ourselves and always know that God does not measure our worth by what we do.  https://whitneyibeblog.wordpress.com/2017/06/25/agree-with-god-be-doubtless/?preview=true ... Today, my little one said to me she doesn’t want to go to school anymore. I asked her why she would take such a decision and she said: “I am not good in mathematics and I keep getting low scores.” “Everyone keeps laughing at me”.  I have always known mathematics is not one of her strengths, she prefe...

One of the biggest mistakes we make as believers is that we fail to remember that God’s timing rarely matches our timing. We think and plan in temporal terms, and God thinks and plans in eternal terms. What this means is we are very interested in right now, and God is interested in the long term. We want what God feels right now, what produces immediate results, but God is willing to be patient and deliberate as He invests in us over a period of time to produce results far better and longer lasting than we can imagine. Just as our children try to talk us into giving them what they want right away, we often try to talk God into immediately giving us what we want. He loves us even more than we love our children and He loves us too much too hastily give in to our pleadings. He knows something born prematurely might struggle to survive, so He waits until He knows everything is properly prepared for the arrival of our dream. He sees what we do not see and understands what we do no...

I thought it couldn’t be done With such beautiful decay, beautiful creatures are every where I kept running and kept hiding I was never good at finishing anything I start  All I wanted was a voice, yet no one would listen But you caught me and changed everything You made a difference where nobody else seems to You gave me a voice louder than mine Questions and answers to life you got them all Got me to where I wouldn’t reach You would go along as long as I was going You showed me how worthwhile things can be when we earn them How things can be seen clearly without the tears and in the rain You showed me it was no use standing along the road when I could go on the ride with you. There was no need to sit and fantasize or dream about pot of gold’s nor about the things I would like to have when all the gold and silver belongs to you You drew me close even when all I wanted was to be far away Nobody else does it like you do Nobody else writes it just...
