TaiKeh World

That evening, Mama told us, "God said I should tell you people that He is happy with us, with the way we all sang and danced before Him today." Bedtime came and we were all talking and laughing, our mom had to say "TaiKeh, if we continue, we won't catch any sleep tonight." FYI😂 We like talking with our mum. Whenever we are with our mom, physically or on the phone, we could talk for hoursssss. So we went to bed that Wednesday night all laughing at what our mom just said and we said amidst laughter "Okay, goodnight. God bless you" Dear reader,  Life has its ups and downs but today we chose to focus on one of the favorite memories we shared with our mom just before she transitioned. No one knew it would be our last night together, no one knew it would be the last video we would capture of her joyfully dancing and singing while on earth. As you go about today, remember to CHERISH the little things, that weird and funny picture/video of yourself or loved ...

  It was on March 9th, a Wednesday, usually we go for Prayer Meetings in the evening at our Church. That evening, it was only our family that were around for the prayers. During the prayer meeting, we didn't pray, we only praised God throughout, we worshipped, jumped and danced while singing songs of worship/ praise to God. While dancing, my twin sister decided to do something she doesn't usually do, she pulled out her phone to take videos of our mom as she danced. (Talk about right timing!) Our mum didn't even know that she was being recorded until we showed her the videos of her later at home that day. After we had danced and danced before God that evening, we all shared the grace, locked the church doors and started to head back home.   It was funny though, because instead of going back home immediately, we rather sat down outside to chat. We had spent lot of time comfortably talking and laughing outside when we realized it was getting dark, and said amidst laughter  ...

  We must say this, before we go on: If after your loved one transitioned, you found it difficult to go to church, LISTEN.. We don't blame you at all, We know several people who lost their loved ones and going to church wasn't in their plan for months and even years! Everybody's grief journey is different and may not look the same and that is TOTALLY OKAY.  Wherever you are now on your journey, we just want to say,  ° God is not against you,  ° He is for you,  ° He's in it with you and loves you with all His heart.  We are our Mother's Legacy ✊✊ TaiKeh Twins

  So when Mama transitioned, we all knew where to go- The House of God. Many exchanged looks in church that day, like "They came to church?" It didn't end there, during testimony time, we came out to testify. Yeah, we had a testimony. That our mother was with Jesus regardless of how and when it happened.  Earlier on March 10th, during our family morning devotion, she had randomly said that "Even if I go today, I know I have many crowns waiting for me." So we knew she was in THAT PLACE. Dear reader, did you know that Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you? "...I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you..."-John 14:2 ERV This present world is not our final destination. We have A PLACE (Heaven) and when Jesus says "Come Home"  Would you be ready?

  Suddenly, we had to start thinking of our next steps. Three days after our mom transitioned- March 13th was a Sunday, and we decided to go to church. Crazy right? We decided to go to church in spite of the throbbing pain in our hearts. Since we were young, around 6/7 years old, our mom would take all of us to church. Whether it was sunny or rainy; Funny enough, the rainy days were the most pleasant for us as kids.  This is because our mom bought us these fancy rain coats and rain boots.     We would play in the rain on the way to church.  Neighbors on the street would be shouting from the windows in their houses,  "Iya Ibeji (Mummy Twins), go back home, can't you see it is raining?!"

Exactly last year by this time, our lives had taken a drastic turn.  None of us had expected it, None of us had envisioned it, We were in utter shock and confusion at how our lives could have changed in a split second- when our Mom breathed her last on earth in our arms. What do you do when God goes quiet on you when you need Him the most? What do you do when He changes the trajectory of your life without your permission? What do you do when He goes cold in you? Few hours later after our Mom suddenly transitioned, all we could think was: "Where is God?"  "What is God thinking?!" "Why didn't He perform the miracles He's famously known for?" "What's going to happen to us?" Hmmm, 11th March 2022- when the new normal properly began... It started with a bombardment of calls and texts, people calling from far and near, hoping that we would tell them the news they heard somewhere was not true. But it was true. People started to rush in, cry...

  Hey Mama!😍😍 You remember how you felt led to start creating voice notes/ podcasts in year 2020 during the lockdown, to send to your WhatsApp contact list for them to be encouraged? Remember how consistent and fervent you remained in making those podcasts up till the day you transitioned? Hehehehe😄 Well! Thank God you were faithful in doing it! Thank God you remained steadfast in preaching on a virtual (online) pulpit! Thank God you didn't stop after 1 month! Thank God you kept going even though you could have stopped! Now, your children, grandchildren and their children's children can hear your voice and call you BLESSED! Oh! Your voice.... Your voice, Mama brings so many memories! Ladies and Gentlemen, When God lays something on your heart to do, just do it, and don't stop until He says otherwise. * * We are our Mother's Legacy ✊✊ TaiKeh Twins. * * #grief #griefandloss #1yearinheaven #taikehtwinz #taikehtwins

  You used to say we are good writers but today...we are short of words so we just going to leave this here.  Happy One Year In Heaven Mama

  How can one have two powerful emotions reside in him or herself side by side. It's like a landlord or landlady have two very opposing tennants living in the same compound! Let us give you a perfect example; Yesterday during our night devotion, this gospel song came to our spirits to worship God - 'Creator of the universe' by Ada Ehi . This song is one of our mum's favourite songs, but as we sang this particular danceable song we felt a surge of both mixed emotions- Joy and sadness. Sadness because, How can the one we loved the most no more be on this earth?, Why did God decide to take her at this point of our lives? On the other hand, Joy because she is in the presence of the one who knows how to love best, Joy because she has finished her race and has heard "Well-done Good and Faithful servant!" Joy, because even on the day of her transition, she said unknowingly amidst beams of smiles, "Even if I die today, I know I have sooo many crowns in Heaven wai...

  Happy Valentine's Day! Each year we would send a lovey-dovey text and surprise gifts to our mum on February 14th to celebrate Valentine's Day.  This year Valentine's Day hits differently though. First thing in the morning, we get a notification on our phones from Google Photos on the previous year's Valentine's Day picture we designed for our mum which brought tears to our eyes. Tears, because we miss her every second of our lives but also tears of joy because, she is experiencing the PUREST and GREATEST form of love ever from the originator of love Himself, Jesus! In the same vein, today we surprised our our younger brothers like we would do to our mum. Truly, it is the little things that matters and make lasting memories.  Perhaps you have lost a loved one too and have no one to share this special day with, be comforted that your loved one is in the presence of Jesus and is basking in HIS love.  We are our Mother's Legacy ✊  TaiKeh Twins 

  "And we are also happy with the troubles we have. Why are we happy with troubles? Because we know that these troubles make us more PATIENT.  And this patience is proof that we are STRONG.  And this proof gives us HOPE.  And this hope will NEVER disappoint us. We know this because God has poured out HIS LOVE to FILL our hearts through the Holy Spirit HE gave US."- Romans 5:3‭-‬5 ERV We hope this Word encourages you, as it does to us. God bless you.

  "God is on the throne..." - Said our Mama (Mother) * * We are our Mother's Legacy ✊✊

 Happy New Month TaiKeh Fams! God is your hope, You are not allowed to give up.  * We are our Mother's Legacy TaiKeh Twins

  God works with the level of our faith;The devil also works with our fears; The level of your fear is the level of hold the devil has on you. Fear is like a door, when you entertain fear, it's like giving the keys of the door to the devil to come in at anytime to wreck havoc. Do not entertain fear.   * We are our Mother's Legacy TaiKeh Twins

  We recently watched #TheWait (2021), a Nigerian faith based drama directed by  Yemi Morafa and Fiyin Gambo. The film starred Nse Ikpe-Etim, Deyemi Okanlawon, Ini Dima-Okojie and Jimmy Odukoya in the lead roles. The movie is based on God's Waiting Room, a faith based book written by Yewande Zaccheaus As we watched this movie, we were reminded that; ✅ Sometimes the answers to our prayers don't come in the way we envisaged. This does not mean that God did not answer our prayers but that, "God's ways are not OUR ways". The couples in the movie had been looking unto God for children and God answered them all in DIFFERENT ways, it didn't come in the ways they all planned it would. (Adoption, Surrogate, IVF etc) It was until they came to a place of ACCEPTANCE and PEACE of their current situation that they could hear God on the next steps to take to receive their blessings. Dear You,🤗 Perhaps, you are ANXIOUS and WORRIED about your current or future situation.  Why...

 Happy New Year TaiKeh fams 🎉 God bless you.

KEEP ON LIMPING EP2: -------------------------------------- If anyone had told us that we would know the length, breadth, and height of a pain as deep as this, we would have rebuked them in the name of Jesus. But, here we are 4 months into this journey, and we are sitting side by side with pain. However, we have proposed in our hearts to stop sitting with this pain, it is just too painful. We would have to keep putting one foot in front of the other. We don't care how slow we walk, life has taught us that the race is not to the swift. We don't care if others go ahead of us,  We don't care what people say about how we "walk" our life, it is not their limp, it is our limp. It is better to limp than to be stagnant. We would get to our destination one day and even if we don't, we would rest in the fact that at least we did not stop on the way. We would keep on walking with our limp. This is what people see in us and they say, "we are strong".  What they ...

Picture of Taiye and Kehinde at Mama's burial 4 months ago, an unwanted visitor barged into the living room of our hearts and sat down on the couches of our souls. It didn't come alone, He came with his friends such as pain, deep hurt, anger, discouragement, sadness, anxiety, etc. We are like wounded lions who got shot in the leg and now limp with one leg.  When we look at the journey set before us, we are too exhausted to keep going. How do we move forward with this deep-rooted pain in our hearts? We tell you, no Morphin can numb this pain! We look to the Heavens, we searched for meaning in all of this, to find God but it seems like He has tucked Himself in the clouds and no one can find Him! Where is the God that made Joseph forget all his afflictions? Where is the God that answered Hannah? Where is the God that made Sarah laugh? Where is the God that gives joy for sorrow? Why has He gone silent on us? Silence. No response.   Strength has failed us, Faith has failed us, Hope...

Our mom is one of our major motivators in doing these skits , yes God is our motivation... 🙄🙄but like our physical motivation is our mom as she watches each video before they get posted, gives us constructive feedback, and above all, she PRAYS for the viewers, yes she prays for you. How much the skits would bless your life and so much more. However, when our mom transitioned, it seemed like all our will and energy to keep doing these skits transitioned with her, we felt like our one of key motivations is no more. So we prayed and then also sought counsel from some people, while some gave us cliches as to why we should keep on doing these skits , like "God is your motivation....keep on having faith and we were like 🙄🙄Can we be practical, please? 😂😂 Others were realistic and admitted it is pretty difficult and moved on to pray with us. Ladies and Gentlemen, when your major motivator in doing something has transitioned, it is hard to keep going. Let's not spiritualize it, m...
