"It's okay to be scared sometimes" When a person becomes a believer the spirit is made right but sometimes the heart ream, the soul ream, the mind ream, it becomes a little slow getting the message because life's left a hole in it, due to molestation, low self-esteem, abuse, depression, hate but God is coming to heal that hole today. Sometimes you just have to say thank you Lord, sometimes we just gonna get on our knees and just say "God rescue me from my self" and you…
"If only you had a wish to change your past, what would you change?" Be strategic If I had one naive wish, like a wish master or a fairy god mother comes down and say's I have one wish, you know the wish I'd make? I wish I could go back in time and tap myself on the shoulder when I was 15 and I'd tell myself to think more strategically about my life. Let me explain, when you were much younger you think to yourself about how you should live each day as they come, and live…
"Are you really alright?" Only God can make it right **"Are you all right**? What if I ask you that, with just the two of us" its one of those questions we ask that we really dont want to answer to. How are you doing today? Are you alright? Yes! am alright but you've got this thing in your leg. No idea what it is, but its been changing colors. It's a complicated question "Are you alright?" Do you know the difference between God and people? He really wants to know deeply not…
Big shoutout to my new sponsor @Fernandotona thank you for your support and the love...I'm so grateful, God bless you Sir....
Haters are a part of the plan Of course when you put your art out there, share your voice out there, try to do something big or trying new things, people are going to judge it. That is what has been happening to you since elementary school, it shouldn't surprise you anymore, so now the job is "Deal with it better" and I know this is hard to write sometimes coz you'll say "Gozie you dont seem to understand, then I'm like I'll put something out there and people will sometimes…
Life lessons by nature prompt by @JonicaBradley This idea came to me of how much more nature is to us, thanks to @JonicaBradley for this prompt. There are eight lessons to be learnt from Nature. *Sunrise speaks to us "wake up every morning with hope"* Life rarely ever goes exactly as planned, often times life will take you to a completely different direction. The part intended to move, but no matter what happens you still get to rise each day with faith that in the end it…
The mirror of regrets "what defines you?" Maybe God doesn't see you through the lens of your mistake, maybe he sees you through the length of his grace, maybe when he looks at you he sees the finished work of Jesus. Have you ever thought about the fact that if they didnt make you they cant define you, Your maker is your mirror. You are kind of a worshiper but you're kind of worthy, you are kind of righteous but you're kind of drained, you are kind of powerful but kind of…
Thanks @Happyboy for renewing your sponsorship ❤, am grateful for the support from day 1 God bless you brother.
The temptation to quit is an indication of its significance The more tempted you are to quit, the greater the significance. Nothing I ever did in my life was I not tempted to quit, now when I am tempted to quit on something God gave me to handle, I realize that the temptation to quit is an indication of its significance. A lot of us are addicted to quitting, you can talk about been addicted to pills, been addicted to porn, been addicted to the bottle but what about the…
Is it actually over 27th February 2020, began like every random day I was in school when the first of covid-19 was confirmed, little did I know that that indication was going to change everything. The last couple of month have been a lot of things for me and everyone around me; the change in the way things are been done, the nights of confusion, the frustration, the sleepless nights, our loved ones been checked and returned back from covid-19 isolation centres globally, the…

Be your favorite self For so much of your life you have tried to edit yourself for the sake of others so that others would feel comfortable around you and you've done it for so long, but now you no longer feel comfortable with yourself. Everyone else was always the deciding factor in what you put on, or how you act, before even considering yourself everyone else was the priority. Maybe people will think this looks bad, or think that "oh he's got a lot of money", or people…
Connect with the community through paying attention **What an awesome community we have here, if you'd agree with me.** There is always an instant lesson in the power of connection, which is the power of attention to foster connection and communication. The simple act of paying attention is the key to connection, connecting to others and connection to the possibility of transforming our relationship with the community. Image source…
An interview with success I've always desired to meet this person called 'Success' and get the time to really ask what I've always been wanting to ask.. oh well! this is the day. A wonderful stage is set in the honor of success in its pride and glory to welcome him in our presence. Words cannot explain how happy I am for this moment, to dive deep down scripts ready and mic set it's time. We gladly invite the benevolent 'success' to take a seat; Me: In my most formidable way…
Shooting for the limitless The realization that we need to stand out and become completely distinctive lies in the power of our ability and will power. It takes courage to be different, it takes courage to be extraordinary, it takes courage to maintain vision, it takes courage to be outstanding and remarkable. **Start with your why's?** Image source…
Wide as the sky "A prayer of the community" `"🎵Let all the other names fade away` `Jesus take your place` `Let all the other names fade away` `Until there's only you` `Jesus take your place, Jesus take your place` `Hands up, hearts open wide as the sky` `We lift you high` `Hands up, hearts open wide as we cry.🎵"` *"I want you to know today that God is for you that at this very moment he knows your name, he knows your needs, he knows what you need that you don't even know to…

So my fight isn't to make you scared, your flesh alone is bold enough for this mission. My biggest weapon is making you forget distractions that keeps you away from being consistent.

Tribute: staying optimistic in a pessimistic world **Today is all about the old brave members of the read.cash community, you deserve this tribute.** I wanted to share with you some of the things that pop into my mind, things like "how did they get here?" From then till now if it bleeds why does it lead. But first I have to admit their great persintency and tolerance during the times of small to a time like this. I know right now you're thinking why? Why didn't they quit…
Striped naked defenseless against my love was my interpretation *"God is the only one capable of coloring us gorgeous for himself so when we find this sin on others this article is not encouraging us to be less disgusted, it's more reminding us that our hearts aren't immune to the same type of condition. There is a very thin line between being the christians that he commands and the criminals that we condemn."* `Check out my sponsors` **I was an addict** Well I always…

The shame of being human This is more of a cry for all the people who where never given the permission to cry. For people who where taught not to feel by people who do not love them and where taught not to feel by people who did. It is hard sometimes because whatever it is feels normal but your world it's not. Nobody ever gave you the permission to feel, you where treated numb and then accused of being numb void of emotion just like the environment taught you to be all the…
As soon as I stopped pursuing her was exactly when she stopped running. **The crush I was dyeing to know,** no man ever gets tired of beholding a damsel through the lenses of his eye with all its glamour that can never be to die for. But I still choose her even if I could never get her because I haven't really looked enough. And if still I haven't found her attention I haven't done enough. The first time I laid my eyes on the most beautiful thing between the earth and sky,…
The clown behind the glass ***A reflection of the man I want my kids to meet one day.*** Sometimes I wonder if I'm a reflection of the man I want them to meet, if reaping and sowing really applies to me through my kids. Will I reap what I planted, and pay for the hearts mutilated by the bare hands of my adolescence?. Sometimes I wonder if my kids will have the slightest clue that the person I will fight tooth and nail to make sure they stay away from has grown up to become…
