Nurturing in Faith

In today’s world, we often hear stories about people who give everything in relationships, only to be left heartbroken. It’s not uncommon to see women sacrificing so much for their partners—sometimes even building houses for their partner’s family or paying their own dowry—and then being abandoned or taken for granted. These situations break my heart because they often stem from a deeper issue: the stronghold of loneliness. I recently came across a powerful message from Stephanie Okafor, where she spoke about breaking the stronghold of loneliness and how it drives so many people to enter relationships out of fear or insecurity. Often, when we feel lonely, we can end up compromising our values and accepting less than we deserve, just to avoid being alone. This has become a common trap for many, leading to relationships that are toxic or one-sided. But here’s the truth I’ve come to know in my walk with Christ: knowing our identity in Him changes everything . When we understand where we ...

There are moments in life when you find yourself asking, “God, where are You?” But the truth is, God’s response to us is always: “If only you knew, your life is in My hands, and I am taking care of you.” Even when you don’t feel it, God is protecting you, He is with you, and He has already gone ahead of you. Knowing this can inspire us to praise Him now for what we haven’t even seen in our future. As we reflect on this today, I want to speak on this very question: Where are you?

Christianity is about relationship, not routine. Where other religions may have rituals and disciplines, Christianity is about fellowship with Jesus. But often, distractions or sins fill the gap, pulling us away from this intimacy. One of the most significant examples of this is the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of...

  Becoming a mother has transformed my life in ways I never imagined. While I always believed in God, the birth of my son, JJ, opened my heart in a new way. Motherhood has been a powerful teacher, and through the joys and challenges, I’ve realized just how much I need God’s strength, peace, and guidance.

“Have you ever felt lost in the whirlwind of motherhood, wondering how to keep it all together? I know I have—many times. But it’s been faith that has kept me steady, guiding me through every challenge and every blessing that motherhood brings.” My Journey as a Mom When JJ was born, my life changed in ways I never imagined. My heart was filled with love for this tiny human, but at the same time, I was overwhelmed by the responsibility. The thought of him getting sick terrified me, and I often found myself worrying about every little thing. I remember pacing around the house, holding him close, praying, “Lord, please protect him.” The weight of motherhood felt heavy at times, but God reminded me that I wasn’t alone in this. As I reflect on these past months, I realize that having JJ has helped me grow in every aspect of my life. God, in His infinite wisdom, knew that it was time for a real change in me—spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. He knew that JJ would be a part of that tran...
