Dear Abimbola,
Don't mind the
formalities. When I use the word 'Dear', it makes my writing sound
more dramatic (lol).
So I don't really have
anything specific to share with you, but since you indirectly referred to me as
'Baba Alagba', I thought I should share with you the word of God in the various
formats I use to absorb life.
But before then, I
should share my testimony with you in one sentence.
"I am very aware
that God loves me, just as He loves you deeply. My life before this pandemic is
totally different from the new life I live now. I really didn't have to do
anything in particular but rededicate my life to the Father and focus on
him. Interesting Fact: Every dream I was once has been redefined by
God.
3 Beautiful Bible Verses on Repentance
(God is always calling us to repentance)
If my people, who are
called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their
sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the Lord your
God,
for he is gracious and
compassionate,
slow to anger and
abounding in love,
and he relents from
sending calamity.
Joel 2:13
Repent at my rebuke!
Then I will pour out my
thoughts to you,
I will make known to you
my teachings.
Proverbs 1:23

3 Gifts Every Prodigal Receives from the Father
(The Robe, The Ring and
The Shoes – Luke 15: 11-32)
After the lost son
realized his mistake, he repented and went back to His Father’s house. He
acknowledged that he was no longer worthy to be called a son but the Father’s
reaction to the return of his son was different.
What the father did next
I am sure would have sent waves of suspicion around the body of the son. To be
accepted back seemed gracious enough but the father’s reaction would have made
the son feel that he’s being set up.
The father called to his
servants. ‘Hurry!’ he said. ‘Bring the
best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet.
Then go get the prized calf and kill it, and let us have a feast to celebrate
the return of my son who was dead, but now is alive and who was lost but now
has been found.’ And the feasting began.
I like to believe through
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that The Robe Signifies Royalty, The Ring
Signifies Authority and The Shoes
Signifies Dominion. (Please let me
know if you can relate to this).

I pray the Holy Spirit empowers and strengthens you.
I pray He turns every unbelief to belief
I pray He strengthens your faith more than you can ever image
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This is all for now...
