Knowing the will of Olódùmarè has never been a simple formula. Long before organized religion, people understood that divine direction is not shouted, it is felt, recognized, and aligned with. The will of the Source is not hidden; it reveals itself when the inner life is quiet, honest, and prepared. The first doorway is stillness and communion. What Christianity later called prayer was, in its original form, a conversation not begging, not rehearsed words, but honest communication between the human spirit and the Divine Breath (Ẹ̀mí). When a person slows down, speaks truthfully, and listens inwardly, guidance begins to surface. Not as noise, but as clarity. Another doorway is recorded wisdom. What many call scripture is not magic text; it is memory preserved. Stories, teachings, and experiences passed down to guide future generations. When read with discernment not fear these writings reveal patterns: justice, compassion, humility, responsibility, and balance. The value is not in blind...

Psalm 47:1 calls for a jubilant celebration of God's greatness. It encourages everyone, regardless of nationality or background, to express their joy and praise to God. The imagery of clapping hands and shouting with loud songs of joy paints a vibrant picture of exuberant worship and gratitude.

2 Samuel 22 beautifully captures David's heartfelt praise and acknowledgment of God's steadfast protection. David recognizes God as his rock, refuge, shield, and salvation. It reflects a profound gratitude for God's deliverance from adversaries. It's a powerful reminder of the importance of praising and relying on the Lord in times of trouble, as expressed in verses like Psalm 18:3, "I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies." How does this resonate with your understanding? These goes in line with my understanding and giving me an assurance that when I called the lord he answers me like he's always ready to answer me. Your recognition of God's readiness to answer and the assurance that your praises are heard is deeply rooted in the faith and trust that David exemplified. As it's written in Psalm 34:17, "When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles." ...

Good is a word we use to describe how our day is, how we're feeling, or how a particular meal tasted. Yet, it's also a word that we use to describe our mighty, majestic, and miraculous God. Seems odd, doesn't it? To use a word to describe God that we'd also use to describe how we felt about our lunch.  We can see evidence of God's goodness everywhere, in every day, and in every situation. Even when we're not aware of His goodness, He's still good. While God does do good things, His goodness is more than just what He does. It's who He is.  Psalm 25:8 NLT says,"The Lord is good and does what is right; He shows the proper path to those who go astray."
