Loving Olúgbàlà Through Honest Self Examination

This past year, I did not learn to love Olúgbàlà more by doing more religious activities. I learned by looking inward with honesty. Personal examination became a sacred tool in my prayer life  not to condemn myself, but to come into deeper alignment. Prayer, for me, is no longer performance. It is a space where intimacy is built by truth. When I examine my life before Olódùmarè, I am not trying to impress heaven; I am opening myself to light. This kind of prayer reveals where my life is not aligned with divine order not to shame me, but to invite transformation. Psalm 139 is often reduced to two lines: “Search me” and “know my heart.” But the psalm itself gives a deeper foundation. It does not begin with inspection; it begins with assurance. It establishes that I am already known, already seen, already formed.  That changes everything. Before self-examination begins, there is this truth: nothing about me is hidden from Olódùmarè. My journey did not start today. The Divine Pres...

How can i believe what i have not seen.

How Can I Believe What I Have Not Seen? As humans, we trust what we can see, feel, and touch. Our senses are our first teachers. Because of this, faith often looks like a risk like stepping into the unknown with no proof. But true faith is not blind gambling. Faith is a practical certainty born from knowing. Faith becomes risky only when knowledge is shallow. When a person is grounded in the knowledge of Olódùmarè, faith stops being a leap and becomes alignment. Meditation on divine truth is not empty repetition; it is a visit with God, a meeting point between the seen and the unseen. Healing does not come from men. People are only vessels. Power does not belong to the instrument; it belongs to the Source. When healing happens, it is Olódùmarè acting through willing matter. Trust must rest in God alone. Olúgbàlà did not begin in time and will not end in time. He is a channel of divine wisdom, not a replacement for the Source. Faith in God flows through Olúgbàlà as understanding, not as...

ADONAI | NATHANIEL BASSEY

  "Adonai" is a Hebrew word that is used as a title of respect and honor for God in Judaism. It is usually translated into English as "Lord" or "Master". In Jewish tradition, the name of God is considered too holy to be spoken or written out in full, so "Adonai" is often used as a substitute . Lyrics

Summarize psalm 39

Psalm 39 is a prayer of lament and reflection on the brevity and fragility of human life. The psalmist begins by acknowledging his own mortality and the fleeting nature of human existence. He expresses his desire to live a meaningful and purposeful life, but recognizes that ultimately, his life is in God's hands. The psalmist then reflects on the futility of accumulating wealth and possessions, recognizing that they cannot provide true happiness or security in the face of death. He turns to God in prayer, asking for forgiveness and deliverance from his sins, and seeking God's guidance and protection in the midst of life's trials and challenges. The psalm ends with a call to trust in God's goodness and mercy, even in the midst of suffering and uncertainty. The psalmist acknowledges that his life is but a fleeting breath, but expresses his faith that God will sustain him and bring him through even the darkest times. Overall, Psalm 39 is a deeply introspective and reflecti...

WELL OF JACOB

From Ancestral Wells to Inner Rivers There are wells that belong to history, and there are rivers that belong to the soul. Scripture carries both, but not many people slow down enough to see the difference. Jacob’s Well stands as an ancestral landmark. It represents inheritance land passed down, memory preserved, identity rooted in origin. The well was not just water; it was continuity. It reminded generations that someone before them survived, settled, and provided. Whether Jacob himself dug the well or not is secondary. What matters is that the land and the water became tied to his name. Ancestry became geography . Centuries later, David expressed a longing for water not from Jacob’s Well, but from the well of Bethlehem, his hometown. His craving was not theological. It was emotional. It was memory speaking. It was the soul reaching backward toward familiarity. When his warriors risked their lives to bring him that water, David refused to drink it. He poured it out. In that moment, h...

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

  "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." This verse emphasizes that true worth and value are not found in outward appearances or surface-level charm, but in one's character and relationship with God. It suggests that a woman who has reverence and respect for the Lord is worthy of praise and honor. The verse also implies that charm and beauty are temporary and do not endure, while the fear of the Lord and virtuous character are lasting and enduring qualities. Proverb 31:30

Summary Ephesians 3

P aul introduced himself as a prisoner of Christ Jesus. Though he feels he is the least deserving of the Grace of God. T he mystery of Christ, which was not fully understood in the past, has now been revealed to the apostles and prophets through the Holy Spirit. The mystery is that the Gentiles are now fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. This was a radical idea at the time, as the Jews and Gentiles had a long history of animosity towards each other. Through revelation God's mysterious plan was revealed. Equal riches are inherited by those who believes the good news. Using the church to display God's wisdom this was the initial plan carried out through Christ Jesus. And because of the sacrifice of Jesus, we are bold and confident in the presence of God. Prayer "I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in yo...

As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. Psalms 42:1

The psalmist was describing his longing and passion for God. Inorder to understand you need to have a knowledge of "how deer long for streams of water" Why does a deer 🦌 pants for streams? 1. Seeking for water as a way to regulate their body temperature 🌡️. Deer 🦌 needs water to stay hydrated and they often rely on streams. 2. Deer 🦌 may pant for streams to access food and medicinal resources that are available in those areas. Beside streams are vegetation, green pastures. 3. As a means of escape from predators and as a pathway for migration. The psalmist is explaining his urges and passion for God using the panting of deer as a expression.  Aim: Our passion for God should be extreme.  Prayer 🙏 Lord Jesus help me increase my passion for God.  Bless you. 

What God requires?

What God wants from me.😊 What God requires of me, of you does not consist of rams, burnt offering, costly sacrifice.  "Praying and fasting without heart align"😌 ???? 1 Samuel 15:22 "To obey is better than sacrifice" It is easy to part with money than it is to part with sin. Confession by waving of hands in worship without a thorough reformation of hearts and life. Without God being involved you will fail. Every time we determine to do what is right, something contrary crosses your mind. This shows that sin is a spiritual thing. Unless God is involved, no one can say no to sin nor yes to righteousness. "I am desperate for you Lord, i am lost without you" Do not think that your crying and complaint can force him to become sentimental. Jesus objectivity is based on commitment and genuineness of faith.

Ecclesiastes 6

In this chapter, the author reflects on the idea that human beings are unable to control the course of their lives, despite their best efforts. The chapter begins with a discussion of the futility of wealth and the desire for more. It notes that a person who has everything they want, but cannot enjoy it, is no better off than someone who has nothing at all. The author then goes on to consider the unfairness of life, where some people are blessed with good fortune, while others suffer from misfortune, even though both have the same end. The author then reflects on the idea that everyone is destined to die, regardless of their station in life. He notes that people often work hard to accumulate wealth and possessions, but they cannot take any of it with them when they die. The author concludes that it is better to be content with what one has, rather than to strive for more and risk becoming miserable in the process. Overall, Ecclesiastes 6 is a reflection on the idea that human beings ar...
