God promises the innocent more than enough in these times

God’s Word to His People

“Day by day the Lord takes care of the innocent, and they will receive an inheritance that lasts forever
They will not be disgraced in hard times, even in famine, they will have more than enough.” - Psalm 37:18,19

This promise is very refreshing for these times. The only question is, how do you qualify?
Are you innocent? What does it mean to be innocent?
Another version calls it blameless, so who is blameless?
So first, let’s establish that you qualify, if you qualify, then the promise is yours.

The blameless are those who Jesus already took the blame for.
The innocent are the ones whose records of sin has been wiped clean.
All of them who are looking at God’s gift of eternal life are blameless and innocent.
That includes you, only if you believe.

God’s children, redeemed by the blood of Jesus are innocent
In hard times, they will not be disgraced. In famine, they will have more than enough.
Anything contrary to this is settling for less than your rights.
Keep saying it today, I will not be disgraced in hard times, I will have more than enough in famine.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

The Beauty and Pricelessness of Mentors: A Guiding Light in Life's Journey

"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." - Isaac Newton

In the wide variety of relationships that weave through our lives, there are few we get to handpick. While family is bestowed upon us by fate, we have the unique privilege of selecting our friends, mentors, and proteges. These chosen relationships, when intentionally cultivated, become vessels (ships) propelling us from where we stand to where we aspire to be. If life was compared to an orchestra, intentional relationships act as the crescendo, accelerating our journey.

I am a living proof of the transformative power of mentorship. Instead of waiting for mentors to discover me, I actively seek them out. Questions become my compass, and their homes, my classrooms. There have been nights spent in their houses, absorbing wisdom until clarity emerged.

A mentorship is a symbiotic relationship; it's not about finding someone to elevate your life; it's about seeking a mentor who doesn't mind getting a little 'stained' by yours. Genuine mentors listen and share, weaving stories that often find a connecting thread. While they care, the responsibility lies with us to sift through their words, discovering the pearls to apply in our own lives.

Mentorship has been my shield against unnecessary losses, my balm for pain, and the fuel for confronting crises with unwavering confidence. The best mentors are those who submit to a higher purpose, doing what they do for a divine cause rather than personal gain.

As much as I've been a beneficiary of mentorship, I've joyfully paid it forward to those I mentor and disciple. True mentorship is an investment; there's only so much one can do in a year. This scarcity of time ensures we select mentees who are genuinely worth the effort—individuals whose lives will be a testament to the time and energy invested.

Mentorship is not just powerful; it's indispensable. Don't navigate this year without the guiding light of a mentor. Seek one out, and let the journey of shared wisdom illuminate your path. Remember, the beauty of mentorship lies not just in the wisdom received but in the legacy of wisdom shared.

If you think I could be your mentor, and you are really serious, send me a DM, or connect with me.

My Children are learning to drive and it’s coming with a few bashes here and there. They were wondering how to tell me, my answer was, it’s expected, keep at it. No car repairs until mistakes have reduced.

“Thank God say na car dem jam not human being”.

Many years ago when I was learning I almost hit a 5 yr old who is over 30 years old now. What did you hit or almost hit when you were learning to drive?

Oya let’s read and laugh 😂
