Cancer: Journey to Victory - Be strong and courageous

“No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.” Joshua 1:5 NLT 

All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I’ll be with you, Temi. I won’t give up on you; I won’t leave you. Joshua 1:5 MSG 

My father, Papa, I thank you for your words. I speak it, trust it and believe it. I will keep it in my heart. I know that as long as I live and have your breath in me, no one or nothing can stand against me. Regardless of what is going on in my life or the journey I am currently on, no one and nothing can stand against me because your word says it and I believe it. You are always with me.

You will not fail me You will not give up on me You will not abandon me You will not leave me. I will be strong and courageous

My daughter all you have to do is trust me. All you have to do is to stay in the chariot with me (the journey). I will not quit on you so you don’t quit on me and not stop trusting me. Your job in this journey is to trust me, have faith in me, be brave and very courageous. My job is to ensure that you win.

I was listening to peace be still and the lyrics were just apt and this is my confession today .

I don’t want to be afraid
Every time I face the waves
I don’t want to be afraid
I don’t want to be afraid
I don’t want to fear the storm
Just because I hear it roar
I don’t want to fear the storm
I don’t want to fear the storm
Peace be still
Say the word and I will
Set my feet upon the sea
Till I’m dancing in the deep
Oh, peace be still You are here so it is well
Even when my eyes can’t see
I will trust the voice that speaks


I’m not gonna be afraid
Cause these waves are only waves
Oh, I’m not gonna be afraid
I’m not gonna be afraid
I’m not gonna fear the storm
You are greater than its roar
I’m not gonna fear the storm
Oh, I’m not gonna fear at all
Peace be still
Say the word and I will
Set my feet up on the sea
Till I’m dancing in the deep
Oh, peace be still
You are here so it is well
Even when my eyes can’t see
I would trust a voice that speaks
Peace, peace, over me
Let faith rise up
Oh heart believe
Let faith rise up in me

When God Feels Silent: Trusting Him When We Feel Forgotten

Image
Have You Ever Felt God Is Far Away? Have you ever prayed and felt like God didn’t answer—or even like He wasn’t there at all? We all go through seasons where God feels silent. His voice seems quiet, our prayers seem unanswered, and it’s easy to feel forgotten. Recognise your feelings Sometimes life feels overwhelming, and we wonder if God has left us to face it alone. David knew this feeling well. In Psalm 13:1–2, he cries: “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?” David doesn’t hide his frustration or doubt. He brings his raw, honest emotions to God. And here’s the beautiful truth: God welcomes our honesty. He’s not offended by our questions or doubts—He desires a real, genuine relationship with us. Shift from Despair to Trust David doesn’t stay in despair. Later in Psalm 13:5–6, he chooses trust over doubt: “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing th...

What’s in Your Cup? Learning to Overflow With Thankfulness

Image
Life has a funny way of revealing what’s really inside us. Imagine this: you’re walking back from the office kitchen with a cup of coffee. Someone bumps into you and—splat!—coffee everywhere. You spilled coffee because coffee was in your cup. If it had been tea, tea would have spilled instead. That moment teaches us something powerful: when life bumps us—through challenges, stress, or unexpected situations—whatever is in our hearts tends to spill out. That’s why Paul encourages us in Colossians 2:6-7 to live rooted in Christ: “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Being “rooted and built up in Him” means our hearts are filled with Christ’s love and strength. When life bumps us, what spills out isn’t frustration or fear—it’s thankfulness. How do we stay full of thankfulness? So the question becomes: how do we stay full of tha...

God’s Word That Opens Paths Through the Impossible

Image
God’s Word is a gift that renews the mind. At the dead ends of life, in the darkness we never saw coming, His Word steps in like a bright light cutting through every shadow. From the very beginning, God’s voice has always made a way where there seemed to be no way. At the edge of the Red Sea, when the Israelites were trapped between deep waters and a relentless enemy, God spoke — and the sea opened. His voice carved a path through the impossible. “Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.” — Psalm 77:19 That is who God is. His Word doesn’t always explain every detail, but it always guides. It doesn’t always prevent the struggle, but it never leaves us to face it alone. Maybe today you’re standing at what looks like a dead end — hoping for a miracle, longing for direction. Don’t lose heart. The Word is still alive, and it still makes a way. Don’t lean on your own understanding. Open the Bible. Inside are promises that do not...
