Advancing God's Kingdom
It is not coincidental that this devotional was written in a month women’s history is being celebrated. I was not thinking of women’s history month when I wrote the devotional. Also, the theme scripture of the devotional was impressed upon my heart during Lent. Beautiful divine arrangement! I often remind myself that God is the […]
My heart is grieved by the senseless killing of innocent people from all religious background in Nigeria. Many children have become orphans and women widowed in the name of religion. Every soul is precious in God’s eyes. God is not pleased with wickedness. When my heart is grieved, I pray. Prayer works. Those who say […]
Me: “Do you want to hurt mommy?”…”Do you want mommy to be sad?” Little One: “No, I want mommy be happy”… “I don’t want mommy sad” Me: “If you want mommy to be happy, don’t……….” This is one way I am dealing with the thrilling twos, we will step into the thrilling threes shortly and […]
It is a great day to be alive! Please take a moment (30 seconds or more) to pray for new and expecting parents you know. Pray for strength to navigate this new season. Pray that God would give them wisdom. Pray for sound mind for them, that they will have the courage to reach out […]
“Do not waste your pain” became my theme few years ago. I had covid while pregnant last year. It was a painful but fearless experience because God walked my family through. I lost my senses of smell and taste, and it lasted into my birthday. I could not eat Chinese rice as my birthday treat, […]
Pray Ephesians 1:18-19 right now. Replace “you” with “me”. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, […]
Philippians 4:13 reassures me of God’s supernatural strength in me. This verse is helping me stay calm and sane this season. I truly believe worry or anxiety have been kept under control because I meditate on God’s Word as I take each challenge one day at a time. Having a scripture themed wallpaper can help […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers in the United Kingdom, Nigeria, and everyone celebrating Mother’s day today! You are loved! It is no coincidence that today’s Bible verse from YouVersion states: As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem. Isaiah 66:13 (NIV) How awesome! Our […]
The most powerful and comforting Word I heard today: Isaiah 51:12-13 (NIV) I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mere mortals, human beings who are but grass, that you forget the Lord your Maker, who stretches out the heavens and who lays the foundations of the earth,that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the […]
Thank you all for joining the call to prayer for children in our communities. So far, over 1000 people have subscribed for this prayer devotional within the past 7 days and 200 + have completed the devotional. Intercession must continue beyond this season. If you are a Christian, you are Christ’s ambassador (2 Corinthians 5:20) […]
Hey fam! Here is an invitation for you to join me in praying for children in our communities over the next 5 days. Consider fasting if possible. It is Lent, I assume many Christians fast during this time. I wrote Our Little Ones, a 5 day devotional to guide our intercessory prayers for children this […]
Today, I am taking a moment to celebrate and support my sister in the faith, fellow momma and blogger- Alicia. While I am yet to meet Alicia in person, I have met her virtually. However, this pales in comparison to the strong spiritual connection we share. The blood of Jesus flows through our veins. For […]
This reading plan was written for such a time as this. We need love, empathy, and a strong awareness of God’s presence, amid persecution. I had a strong urge to write this plan and I got it done by God’s grace. 7 doctoral courses, 2 little ones and more… and I have not lost my […]
Did you read the equality act? I read it because I like to conduct personal research instead of being programmed by the media. It takes few minutes to read it. It is interesting that bill is titled “equality act” while the bill seeks to suppress religious freedom to disagree with proposed gender ideologies. It is […]
Today, I am thankful for my salvation. It is a great privilege to belong in God’s family, to be fathered by the creator of the universe, to be loved and held by God. Having a relationship with God grounds me and keeps me centered. It is transforming me. It has given me a purpose and […]
I am currently writing a paper on mindful parenting from the moment of conception. So I thought to take a moment and remind you that our Father in heaven is always mindful of you. He was mindful of us before our conception and He will forever be mindful of us. God, the creator of the […]
In Luke 18:16, Jesus said the kingdom of God belongs to those who are childlike. Jesus’ statement implies that the little ones around us can help us understand the faith life and God’s heart. In The Little Ones devotional, I drew a parallel between the life of faith and early childhood. You will learn how […]
Posted this on my personal Facebook page, so i thought to share here as well.. I don’t have words to describe how I felt seeing my dear friend rock a shirt I designed. I am blessed to have this lady in my life (Proverbs 18:24).. You can purchase this shirt and other gifts for expectant […]
God First when I wake up God First when I go to bed God First in my marital decisions God First in my parenting practices God First in my academics God First in my career God First in all I do- This is my goal and greatest desire. Every decision must be guided with God’s […]
What’s your child’s love language? My favorite behavioral and developmental model is the DIR model. DIR means Developmental, Individual-Differences, and Relationship. The DIR model considers individual differences (the strengths and weaknesses of an individual) when developing an intervention plan. Our children’s love languages are individual differences we must consider in our parent-child relationships. For example, […]
You are reading this today because I was not aborted by my late mom despite external pressure. To me, abortion is personal and it is a matter of faith. My views on this subject is not based on politics or popular opinion. This post is for the mom considering aborting her unborn due to financial […]
Mindfulness is a way of life. It isn’t just something we do 15 mins or 1 hour every day. Mindfulness is being non-judgmental. This way of life emerges between ages 4 to 6. This means we all have the capacity to practice mindfulness. Mindfulness is when Josh says or thinks “Maybe Friederike does not want […]
Mindfulness is being present. I have a 2-month-old. He received some shots recently. The day he received his shots, the shot sites suddenly became more uncomfortable and painful. So, he started crying. I had a lot going on..school work, business, etc. Yet, I told myself they would have to wait. I decided to be present- […]
Mindfulness is the key to emotional and spiritual health. It is essential for thriving in systems that resist diversity and social equity. If we want stronger families, relationships, organizations and communities, we must practice mindfulness. How can we use mindfulness to accomplish these things, boost our self esteem and work performance? How can we practice […]
