Stand Strong
Standing Strong
Your response to adversity will show how strong your faith is
People's lives were turned upside down, destinies were cut short, people lives cut short, a nation shook to its very core. As the morning went by,pondering on this, it's not time for us to run away from terror, it's time for us to stand firm in the midst of terror. The enemy wants you to run, to be scared, to be shaken but it's time to refuse his tactics and show him how strong you are.
Peter couldn't see Jesus but he still climbed out of the boat. Run to Jesus, the enemy will wants to stop you but stay strong and run to him.
After the death of Moses, Joshua was tasked with leading in the children of Egypt into the promise land. Some time before, spies were sent out in order to see what they would need to do to enter the promise land. The rest came back and said there was no way that they could defeat the Giants standing in their way but Joshua and caleb came back and reported that they had every belief that those Giants could be defeated. What sets you apart from others is your faith and belief in God.
So from the perspective of Gods view, do you believe that all things are possible? Are you seeing the same thing as God is seeing. Whenever God sends someone out on a mission, he never leaves you unprepared and lacking support. Knowing this, it is not possible for us to be afraid or even be shaken for it says in Joshua 1 to be strong and of Good courage, for he will never leave us nor forsake us.
“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
Joshua 1:9 KJV
http://bible.com/1/jos.1.9.kjv
Keeping your eyes on Jesus will ensure you are focuses on him and him alone. Times will come when things happen to shake your faith and to blind your vision but we have to stay steadfast and strong and focused on Him in order to reach our full potential.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.”
Colossians 3:2-3 KJV
http://bible.com/1/col.3.2-3.kjv
This passage lets me know that because I am hidden in Christ, I must set my mind on heavenly things. Are you doing the same? When you see news of terror, how do you respond?
Being hidden means that no one can find you
Take on the mind of Christ, be steadfast, refuse to be shaken. Stand strong and be strong
Through things that have happened, I have learnt how to be strong for me and for my others. If I had of exposed my weakness to others, depending on who they are it could have been very deadly. In the end, I went to God and gave my burden.
When you are strong, stead fast and solid, nothing can move or break you. Times of testing will come along but you will not be moved by it.
Be Strong, Stand Strong, Live Strong, Stay Strong

My Fitness Journey
Hey guys it's been a while since I last updated you on my progress. So a few weeks ago, I decided to get myself a health trainer (it's a free service lol) so I can meet someone and discuss my goals with. At first I thought it wouldn't be beneficial but it turns out that it has become very beneficial.
My church (Salem International Christian Centre) is pretty central to my life and I have a few fellow Salemites, who are also interested in health and wellbeing so we decided to set up Salem Health and Fitness. It's pretty surreal but our main aim is to educate people how they can live healthy and well whilst pursuing your destiny.
Losing weight doesn't happen overnight, I have discovered this since I decided to improve my wellbeing, I had to change my mindset and also change my eating habits. I'm not gonna tell you that it's an easy fix but with hard work and dedicated, you can do it.
In one of my meetings with my health trainer she said this - 'Your body is a temple and your soul lives inside that temple' Wow, very thought provoking, it then took me to a few scriptures
“Then the LORD said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others.”
Habakkuk 2:2 NLT
http://bible.com/116/hab.2.2.nlt
“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.”
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NLT
http://bible.com/116/1co.6.19-20.nlt
“All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:”
1 Corinthians 10:23-25 KJV
http://bible.com/1/1co.10.23-25.kjv
I soon realised that if I am going to be more healthier, I need to write it down and be able to visualise it, that way I will not be tempted to go off road. Temptations are real but when you have a goal in mind and you are focused, it will get easier.
It is very easy to go off road but it's even harder to get back on the road.
You may want to be more healthier, or you may even want to lose weight. Why don't we travel on the same road together. If you do have that passion, contact me or message me and we can take it from there.
Hope you are all blessed and I hope to see y'all very soon p.s. Would love to see you at my church also. Come and join us at Upton Park every Sunday from 9.30 onwards.
Ciao

A New Year
Well, what a year it has been. I'm not sure where I should start but I want to thank God for seeing me through to another year
Last year, a lot happened which really shaped me and moulded me into where I am today. Towards the end of last year in July/August, my little brother came home full time. After 6 years in care, he was finally returned home. That had been a major prayer point of mine and it was made manifest.
Not long after in September, I underwent an operation to help me to lose weight.
Over the past weeks, I have seen God do wonders in my life and to him I give all the praise
In the middle of last year, the Lord spoke to me and asked me why there was no Unity within the Body of Christ. He showed a body that was fractured, it moved me and another fellow sister to come together and set up Unified Ministries. A movement to bring the body of Christ back together again, to bring unity and harmony to the body.
Amos 3:3 states - 'Can two people walk together, except they be agreed'.
I'm sincerely looking forward to Chapter 28 and also speaking to you all one at of our many fellowship meetings. Watch out for our Launch as well.
Thank you all for the love, support, words of wisdom, prayer and your commitment. May God richly bless you and I pray that he increases you on every side.
