VULNERABILITY WITH GOD

Image
*Playing With you Lord by Dr Paul Eneche* Hi darlings, Here are the stories of 5 ladies sharing how being vulnerable with God has changed their lives. I pray it blesses you❤❤ ● Folakemi Ajayi Hello everyone, Knowing I was that one sheep God ran after and wooed for so long made me make it a constant thing to remind myself of how much he loves me.  Also, Abba in every possible way expresses how much he loves me by constantly reaffirming me and showing his love in actions. As an ex-hard girl who had a rigid way of expressing emotions, it's amazing to see how much God has done with me and is still doing with me. I was someone who saw a problem with being vulnerable with people; In fact, I saw crying as a weakness. I am the only girl child in my family as well as the most independent child. I used to feel there were uncountable things wrong with me. The emotional part of me made me have issues with almost all the relationships I had before I...

LOVE IS GOD'S LANGUAGE

Image
*Playing reckless love by Cory Asbury. * Hello darlings, Ever wondered what God's love looks like? Love is responsible for the creation of man. God wanted someone he could fellowship with. You'd want to fellowship with someone or people whom you know you've got some sort of likeness for, innit? Love makes him go after that one sheep that leaves the fold, that one sheep that all of a sudden becomes attracted to the world. Despite being an omniscient God, Love makes him long to talk to you despite knowing that you'd still hurt him countless times. Love made him give up his son so that we can be eternally forgiven of our sins. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:7‭-‬8 NASB Love is who he is. If you don't show love to others, you certainly do not speak God's language and...

MY SALVATION STORY

Image
Hi darlings, My name is Folakemi Ajayi (I'm sure you know already) and I'm about to tell how I received the life of Christ.  A little story about my childhood Being the only girl in my family, I have always felt different. Growing up, I was that child that grew up faster than her age. I had few friends who were my age mates, most of my friends were older, hence, I knew so many things that were beyond my age. I was also that extremely reserved child whom they thought had a speech problem but little did they know my brain was more matured than they thought. Lol Primary school, I was that strange girl who had few friends in my class because I exhibited weird behaviours.  Secondary school, I was that tomboy who still behaved strangely but was quite cool with everyone. I remembered at a point in secondary school, I was getting attracted to girls. Just yesterday, I remembered how the lebanism spirit was trying to find an expression in me. T...

THE OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED, THE NEW MAN IS ALIVE

Image
*Playing My Reedemer Lives - Hillsong Worship* Happy Easter guys! This is the time of the year when Christians collectively remember and celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus. I'm always excited each time I remember that Jesus died, his tomb is empty and he is ALIVE. Quickly, Let's dive into what we have for today. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he  is  a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV You need to properly understand that what Jesus did on the cross wasn't a joke or a child's play. On the cross, Jesus paid your debt because he saved; he saved you. To be saved, you need to believe in the finished works of Christ - the completion of redemption. He gave up his life for you, to make death lose it's grip on you. He could have turned his back but his love for you drove him to the cross. You receive the life of Christ, you do not give your life to Christ becau...

DEVIL'S GUILT TRIP

Image
As Christians, one of the things we battle with is the "DEVIL'S GUILT TRIP". We allow this boy (Devil) take us on an unnecessary and harmful journey. He is an accuser, believe me when I tell you he's good at it. What is the Devil's Guilt Trip? This is an experience whereby the Devil makes you feel guilty about something, especially when such guilt is self-indulgent or unjustified. This is one of the devices of the Devil. There are several cases of the Devil's Guilt Trip in the scriptures, Adam and Eve were the Devil's first victims. They felt guilty after disobeying God and the Devil made them swim in a pool of self-condemnation. When the Devil guilt trips us, we go into hiding. Its so sad that we think we can hide from the one who is Omnipresent and Omniscient. The devil wants you to live in guilt because he wants to destroy you. He wants to steal the life God has given you, he knows once you start to feel guilty, you'd look at yours...

Hi! My name is Folakemi Ajayi. I'm a graduate of Osun State University, a Postgraduate student of the University of Lagos and an aspiring Journalist based in Lagos, Nigeria. I'm passionate about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1 & 2, hence, I volunteer for Non-Governmental Organizations centered around these 2 SDGs. I am crazy for the things of God, for this reason, I love to be called "God's Cup Of Tea". I talk about God a lot and everything about him tickles my fancy. I love to remind every human I come across that God loves them and they do not need to do anything special to receive his love. I have always wanted to own a blog but somehow, I kept running from it. But now, I have decided to take this bold step and I'm so excited to take you on this journey with me. This is a Faith and Lifestyle blog. As I bring the good news of Jesus Christ to you, I'd also share my activities and life journey to encourage and lift your...
