Look at the picture below: the smile is contagious isn't it? One would feel I obviously do not have any challenge at the moment.....  All humans are born with the ability to smile, yet as we age, we smile less often. This is because we allow the obstacles we face to overwhelm us. According to research, smiling reduces stress and increases endurance. Smiling can boost your mood when you're feeling bad, and may be beneficial for people struggling with anxiety and depression. ...  We think of our face as reflecting our internal emotions, but that linkage works both ways - we can change our emotional state by altering our facial expression!  Bishop T D Jakes explained in one of his teachings that those with hope tend to recover faster from disappointments than those who are broken and faithless. The scripture teaches that “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones” (proverbs 17:22). As we advance to different phases of life, it's important that ...

Aunty, I submitted my assignment on your table! I replied my class teacher loudly, as tears dropped my face. It was a Tuesday morning and as usual, we were meant to submit our quantitative reasoning assignment immediately we left the morning assembly. My teacher had gone through the books on her table, and she couldn't find mine, so she called me to inquire. With a very long cane in her hand, she asked me; Magdalene, where is your assignment??! Well, just so you know I had searched my school bag on getting to the class, but I couldn't find it. I had probably left it at home due to the fact that mom took us out for school in a haste. With so much fear in my heart as to what my teacher would do to me, I resolved to lying that I submitted my book.🌚🌚 My teacher took the pain of checking all the shelves where books were usually kept, but she couldn't find mine. Yet, I insisted that I submitted. After all the frustration, she came to me with a cane in her hand, and she promised...

His word rang in my heart, As clear as a belI. I understood His precepts, As clear as crystal. But my sexual desires betrayed me. I walked down to Gaza, And laid with the harlot. His Spirit tried to caution, But once again, I fell! My conscience deadened, As dead as a doornail. My mind got weary, As weak as a broken spirit. I couldn't break off this habit. I stood at the roof top, And stared at her pernicious beauty. My morality lessened. No iota of godliness in me! My desires were slick, As slippery as an eel. It ripped off my royalty, As stripped as a jaybird. Though filled with guilt and regrets, I ran swiftly to the Lord. His mercies are unending. So, He gave me a new garment, One as bright as the sun. My glory, He restored! My beauty, He replenished!  * Maggy *

Ever wondered how your jollof rice would taste if you cooked it without using salt? It would be weird, right? You definitely won't get to enjoy the food! Well, let's make that comparison to seeking success in life without setting goals.. It's impossible! Last week, I showed us a video that explains the role our mindsets has to play in achieving success in any aspect of our lives.  Setting goals places a picture in your mind... A clear image of your proposed destination. You really can't keep playing guesses around situations of life and expect distinct results. You need to have a resolve! To set goals successfully, you have to answer the question, WHY? Really successful people combine their ambitions with their passions. You have to be intentional about what you want to achieve and how to go about it.  To meet up with your goals, you need to set up other minute steps that will lead you to the main goal. You don't expect to get to the top of a three storey building b...

Hey guys, we'll be starting up a new series titled Success Recipes.  We do know that everyone want to be successful. Even though some people's definition of success might be deficient, the response of anyone asked if he or she wants to be successful, would be hell yeah!  So, I've decided to put together some vital ingredients that'll help birth success in different phases of our lives. Here's a video that lays emphasis on certain mindsets that we must incorporate into our daily living. You're one click away...👇👇👇   Enjoy! Don't forget to drop your comments and contributions.  With love from your friend, Maggy. 😍

The reason why some believers seemingly do not bear the fruit of the Spirit, is because they do not allow Him to work in them. When he gains control of your actions and reactions to life and its activities, those fruits become evident in your life. It's His presence within and your subjection to Him, that births the fruit of the Spirit. Simply put, a mango tree will only bear mango as fruits. It's funny how we live our lives guided and directed by the desires and promptings of the flesh and yet expect to see the fruit of the spirit evident in our life styles.  Your prayer each day should be: LORD HELP ME TO SUBMIT TO YOUR HOLY SPIRIT. When you get to a state where you're so satisfied with misrepresenting Christ, then you need a retreat as soon as possible. As believers, when we sin little sins, the Holy Spirit always pricks our heart. That's if your conscience is not yet dead due to continual disobedience. Some of us have affected the blessings God proposed to bring our...

Hey dear, it's been a while since I wrote to you... I've got a question for you: How well have you been representing Christ? As you answer, do well to dive into this delicacy well prepared for you ...  In every kingdom, there are principles, belief systems, and cultures. Being born again connotes that our citizenship is changed to the kingdom of God. Hence, the need to understand the ways of God and be conformed to His image. The believers at Antioch were named Christians because of their level of conformity. They looked and acted like Christ. Many of us have tagged spiritual growth to just the understanding of greek and hebrew words, and speaking mysteries. Your spiritual growth is tested based on the level of your conformity to the ways of God... not just understanding of deep revelation and mysteries. The journey of our Christian walk starts with us accepting the finished work of Christ and next, is us subjecting to the Holy Spirit. Only then can you GROW, and INFLUENCE live...

Hey fam, happy new week to us all. Do schedule some time to meditate on this.... The greatest warfare of a believer is that of words and information. In Ezekiel 37, we see that words are powerful. They are initiators of perception... they push you to action. God told Ezekiel, "son of man speak and prophesy to these bones." Words have the ability to initiate imagery. They carry spiritual backing 2 Kings 7 . Guard yourself with God's word and be mindful of what you say to yourself.  Every word is sponsored by spirits. Irrespective of the circumstances surrounding you, you resist the devil with the word of God (Matt 4:10) Your tongue, backed up with the revelation of God's word, could act as a pen and an eraser. When you subject your tongue under the influence of the Spirit of God, it becomes a great tool and a blessing for many generations . This day, I'm charging you to BE THE PROPHET OF YOUR DESTINY ! LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO...What are you speaking c...

Many times, we start life with powerful beginnings. Majority start their year with so many resolutions, aspirations and promises.  However, it's important for us to note that the last chapter of a story is usually turbulent. It's just like those action movies we watch. It's towards the end of the movie that we get to see the real action and thrills. I know you might whisper in your mind that difficulties evolved from the early part of this year. That not withstanding, it doesn't mean you should rule out the likelihood of a positive outcome as the year comes to an end. Don't join the crowd of those whinging and giving up all hope as the year 2020 wraps up. Don't let doubt, insecurity, fear, discouragement and other impediments write the concluding part of this year for you. In this year, I learnt the place of God over all things. I developed certain skills and equipped my mind.  There was time to bring out the creativity in me. Though, it seemed it slowed down a ...

Being a lampstand requires that you be a witness. A witness is one who validates the claim of another. We are witnesses of a message, a realm and the possibilities in God. Acts 1:8 You become an efficient witness when you have received the holy spirit. The goal of the holy spirit is to empower you for your assignment. You are not yet a witness until your voice is heard. You are the candle that looses itself that light may shine. That I may decrease.... There's something the Holy Spirit has to do to you before you can be a witness. When you're on that hill, your glory is fading while His is increasing. That's the price of being a lampstand. The epicenter of your self worth must be willing to be handed over like a drink offering. When the Holy Spirit comes into your life it's not first to anoint you.... you have to die first. He has to make you. Your ego will be stung. This is the most difficult pruning. At this stage, he builds your faith. But all you have to do is surre...

Times will come when your strength gets sapped. Some situations will drastically drain your energy. Even the fiercest of rage will weaken you .  In the midst of all these, Maggy says: STAY RESILIENT AND UNBENDING!

Being a person of character all comes down to a person’s core values and their motivations for acting as they do.   Generally, people who are considered to have good character often have traits like integrity, honesty, courage, loyalty, accountability, self sacrifice and other important virtues that promote good behavior.   These character traits define who they are as people and highly influence the choices they make in their lives. Sometimes, the challenges we face do not need prayers, but good character. Having a good character helps a lot. It gives peace of mind. It makes you take great pride in knowing that you have a solid reputation.  People with character enjoy meaningful relationships based on openness, honesty, and mutual respect. When you have good moral character, people know that your behavior is reliable, your heart is in the right place, and your word is good as gold. It makes people endorse you for great opportunities. It increases leadership eff...

A writer once told the story of one of his childhood experience. He used to love playing with butterflies.  One day, he watched a caterpillar shedding its cocoon. But it seemed to be having trouble and wasn’t making any progress.  So, in an effort to be helpful, he pulled out his pen knife and cut off the remaining pieces of the cocoon. But rather than emerging as a precious butterfly, the caterpillar quickly died. His grandfather explained to him that it needed to experience the struggle of moving through the cocoon to grow into a butterfly. And by preventing this from happening, he denied the caterpillar the chance to fly. A short lesson from this story is that turbulent times and periods of struggle in all areas of life are, in truth, similar opportunities to grow wings. “Mario Andretti, the race car driver once said, ‘If everything’s under control, you’re going too slow.’  Deep change is a purifier of sorts. Yes, it can tear down the very foundations on which you...

Hey readers, happy new week to us. Do schedule some time to digest this. There are so many keys that can help us to grow to maturity. I'll be listing a few of them: 1. The first step to Christianity is an encounter with the person of our Lord Jesus Christ , beyond the fashions of religion; an encounter that brings transformation. You need to know God for yourself and have a personal relationship with Him. This is far beyond going to church or attending programs.  2. The proof that you're walking with God is that your life is conformed to His principles daily. It's not solely about understanding greek and hebrew words. There has to be evident changes in your life as you begin to learn the cultures of this kingdom. 3. The level of your alignment with the  Holy Spirit determines the extent to which our lives will be transformed. The scripture clearly explains that the flesh will always war against the spirit. So one has to be subdued for the other to prevail. You will need to ...

Hello esteemed readers! Hope your week has been fruitful? Do take out time to digest this.... Galatians 5:17  For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other], so that you are not free but are prevented from doing what you desire to do. Over time, I discovered that the flesh never gets satisfied. You remember the old slang - oliver twist asks for more? Guess what that's a clear picture of how our flesh operates. The scripture clearly explains that at all times, the flesh is always against the desires of the spirit. If you want to live out the purposes of God and fulfill your God given assignment, you will always have to make decisions that would stretch your capacity and build your spirit man. Haven't you noticed that it's when you decide to fast that you suddenly become so aware of...

Happy new week to you esteemed readers! As we march into the final quarter of the year soon,I'll like us to take out time to reflect on how far we've gone compared to our written vision and goals.  In case you discovered that you've been complacent and scared of taking risks, you need to understand that you can't become successful by playing safe all the time...you need to stretch your horizons. Perhaps you've been caught in the middle of so many things...jack of all trades;master of none.  Let's quit chasing the wind and achieving nothing tangible in the long run.  You don't have to learn everything or participate in every activity. Learn to channel your energy to the right things. Sieve out the ones that are essential to your destiny/purpose. Remembering the shortness of life strips away all the distractions of life and reminds us of what’s most important.  "Visiting your mortality reminds you that your months are numbered.” Have you been maximising y...

SPIRITUAL GROWTH Hey there, it's a new week and we'll be wrapping up the series we've been on for a couple of days.  I would tag this as the most important area of life where you must be intentional about your growth. Reason being that growth in this area affects every other aspect of your life. As you walk closely with God, His presence will take away some characters from you by default.... those little comfortable lies would have to stop...those unhealthy desires would have to be forfeited. You'll begin to see the need to be serious with your DESTINY. Investing in your spiritual growth entails you spending time with God. Many of us wonder why we're not growing spiritually.  Just fast for a day, you're complaining! Intercede at night, you're lamenting!! Sow a seed, it's too difficult!!!  Spend time digging deep into His word,(only 25 mins you're back on social media chatting)!!!! Yet you want to see tremendous growth and tremendous grace to function...

Blessed day to bloom! We've been on a series tagged invest in yourself... and I'm pretty sure we've been learning a lot. Today we'll be looking at a vital aspect that we must never ignore... YOUR HEALTH MATTERS You do hear people say, it is health that is the real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver. It's an actual fact. When you have good health, you know you can go out and achieve anything. You are unstoppable but with poor and terrible health, every day seems like the last day.  When you are healthy, you are efficient, sound mentally and productive.  Investing in your health entails eating good meals, having routines of exercise, consuming enough fruits and vegetables, etc.  When you invest in your health, you’ll surely reap the result. Good health is not something we can buy. However, it can be an extremely valuable savings account. Do not be too spiritual to the extent that you ignore the state of your health. You need this body to be in good state if you...

Yayyy, it's a new week that's filled with lot of promises for you. I prepared something for us to digest. Last week, we started a series tagged invest in yourself and today we'll be looking at a vital aspect that you must pay attention to... DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS We all know the proverb that says being the jack of all trades makes you the master of none. Well it's the truth and we need to pay attention to it. Successful people  never stop improving themselves. They are where they are because they improve constantly. If you don’t improve yourself, you might become stagnant and be left behind in a fast-moving world that is changing. The world is too impatient to bear your mediocrity. If you're into catering, what do you know/have that would make people want to patronise you and not go to other caterers. There's need for us to strive for mastery. This generation of young ones are always in a haste and fail to settle down and make conscious efforts towards excellence....

Hello there, trust your week has been splendid. Today we'll be starting up a new series and we will be learn important spheres of our lives where we need to invest our time and gain adequate knowledge. Today we would be looking at..... GAINING FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE Wealth is having enough so that you do not have to worry about having enough. A lot of people so desire to be wealthy but only few are willing to pay the sacrifice of gaining knowledge and insight into the principles of wealth and financial freedom. Useful hints like maintaining the habit of saving, self control and delayed gratification, saying no to debt, etc are efficient tips that help one take charge of his or her finances.  And don’t forget that paying yourself first and living below your means can fund your future project and achieve your goals! Saving enough money to pay cash for what you want and will gives you the opportunity to quit a job, retire early, start the side hustle you love or have the financial fre...
