THE WIDOW'S DIARY -  PART 1 THE WIDOW'S DIARY -  PART 2 F ROM: The Widow's Diary So I quickly rushed to my late husband's friends house (actually that was his only friend, people had deserted us when we needed them the most)  "Pastor Joshua, please we really need your assistance, my children and I are about to be evicted Sir " I cried out " Oh! I am so sorry to hear that ma'am, what's the issue again, those thugs?" He queried " Yes Sir, my boys tried to defend me when one of them tried harassing me Sir, and they beat them blue-black" I explained "Wow! It is well, I also noticed your swollen face as you came in, it is well Ma" He said flatly  "Amen, please we really need your help Sir" I pleaded on my knees " Ah Madam, you are aware of my my family and I financial difficulties, in fact the only money left in my wife and I pockets is our tithe! And you know how much we talk about being faithful in the payment ...

 Hello!  I think I'm much better now to continue sharing, thanks for your patience!  The day my husband passed on to glory, I felt my whole world collapsed.  That was the beginning of poverty, Hmmn... I thought I knew what poverty was when my late husband was alive but I was wrong.  After his death, My children and I saw the height, length, depth, color, In fact, We could recognize the ugly face of poverty even from a distance!  There were times, We would starve because there was no food at home and even when there was "food", It was usually bread and we would have to divide one loaf of bread for everyone to eat and drink water. This greatly affected my health and that of my children.  Not just that, We had to move to a smaller apartment, Actually, It was not even close to being called an apartment, it was made of dry leaves, Carton, Nylon and Palm Fronds.  To crown it all, It was a mini zoo, because all manner of Cockroaches, Rats, Mosquitoes, Fl...

                      FROM : THE  WIDOW'S DIARY Hey there!  Normally, I would introduce myself but I prefer to stay anonymous for the purpose of this post, Thanks to TaiKeh Idahor for having me here,  However, For the purpose of this blog, you can call me "THAT WIDOW" and this is my story, I'm THAT WIDOW who could not afford to put a three square meal on the table for her children,  I'm THAT WIDOW who could not pay up her bills,  I'm THAT WIDOW whose husband left "comfort-less" (with a huge debt to pay),  I'm THAT WIDOW everyone pointed their fingers at, whispering in hushed voices (but i could still hear them) about my situation!  And finally, I'm THAT WIDOW famously known for a divine miracle that took place right in my kitchen!  Here's a bit about my late husband, He was everything you could ever dream of in a man, He was also a prophet, someone you'll most likely call a Pastor. He was a fe...

Hello TaiKeh fams! Welcome to the conclusion of JESUS! WAKE UP!!! Series.  Bible Text :   "... The evil spirits begged Jesus, “If you kick us out of these men, let us live in the pigs.” Jesus said, “Go ahead, but get out of here!” Crazed, the pigs stampeded over a cliff into the sea and drowned. Scared to death, the swineherds bolted. They told everyone back in town what had happened to the madmen and the pigs. Those who heard about it were angry about the drowned pigs. A mob formed and demanded that Jesus get out and not come back." Matthew 8:28‭-‬34 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/mat.8.28-34.MSG Today, Let's compare the lives of the swineherds to that of David,  Jesus explained the reason why they ran away in John 10: 11-14 “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd puts the sheep before himself, sacrifices himself if necessary. A hired man is not a real shepherd. The sheep mean nothing to him. He sees a wolf come and runs for it, leaving the sheep to be ravaged an...

Hello TaiKeh fams!  Welcome to Part 8 of Jesus! Wake Up!!  In our previous post, we talked about how important it is to involve the Holy Spirit before making any decision, whether it is an important or trivial decision .  The Bible text is from  Matthew 8:28‭-‬34 (MSG)  Bible Text : They landed in the country of the Gadarenes and were met by two madmen, victims of demons, coming out of the cemetery. The men had terrorized the region for so long that no one considered it safe to walk down that stretch of road anymore.  Seeing Jesus, the madmen screamed out, “What business do you have giving us a hard time? You’re the Son of God! You weren’t supposed to show up here yet!” Off in the distance a herd of pigs was browsing and rooting. The evil spirits begged Jesus, “If you kick us out of these men, let us live in the pigs.” Jesus said, “Go ahead, but get out of here!” Crazed, the pigs stampeded over a cliff into the sea and drowned.  Scared to death, the sw...

Hello TaiKeh fams!  Welcome to part 7 of JESUS! WAKE UP!!! Series, We discussed in Part 6 how the demons thought that Jesus wouldn't be able to survive the storm they had prepared, but THEY THOUGHT WRONG! You should check it out!  Bible Text : They landed in the country of the Gadarenes and were met by two madmen, victims of demons, coming out of the cemetery.

Hello TaiKeh fams!  Welcome to the month of October! Huraay!!! Praise God!  We discussed in our previous post on why Jesus "risked" His life to go to the place where even the people who had been living there for years never dared to go. Today we shall be digging deeper into the Bible text below.  Bible Text : When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. Matthew 8:28 NIV https://matthew.bible/matthew-8-28 From our Bible text, we can deduce that two men were possessed by terrible demons and had terrorized the entire city for a very long time that it became an unwritten rule that no body could go beyond the area where these two demon possessed men lived. There are different types of demons operating in every city, country. The demons in charge of a particular place may differ in terms of operations from another demon in another city. For example,...

Hello TaiKeh fams!!  Welcome to part 4 of JESUS! WAKE UP Series!!!  We learnt in part three that when the Word is asleep, storms will continue to rage but until you wake the Word up in your life, the storms will not stop.  Also, you must have faith when declaring the Word against the storms that come at you.  Today we'll be discussing another reason why Jesus still went into the boat without thinking twice, even when He knew a storm would come arise.  Bible Text : They landed in the country of the Gadarenes and were met by two madmen, victims of demons, coming out of the cemetery. The men had terrorized the region for so long that no one considered it safe to walk down that stretch of road anymore.

Hello TaiKeh Fams!  Welcome to part 3 of Jesus! WAKE UP!!!  We discussed in part two of Jesus! Wake Up series!!! on why storms do arise, we learnt that being a christian doesn't exclude storms from coming your way, storms of life would surely arise but, here's the fun fact - Jesus will be with you before, during and after that storm!  Here's a great place to shout Hallelujah!  Today we shall be discussing another reason storms arise,  BIBLE TEXT : Matthew 8:23‭-‬27 And after He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly, behold, there arose a violent storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered up by the waves; but He was sleeping. And they went and awakened Him, saying, Lord, rescue and preserve us! We are perishing!  And He said to them, Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith? Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm (a perfect peaceableness). And the men were stunned ...

Hello TaiKeh fams!  Welcome to part 2 of "Jesus! Wake up!!"  Without further ado, let's dive in. Haha When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. Matthew 8:23 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/mat.8.23.AMP Jesus was the first person to enter the boat, and his innocent disciples followed suit.  While studying this verse, we asked ourselves, "How is it that Jesus, the All-knowing God,the Alpha and Omega, the One with all the wisdom, told His disciples to go when He knew a storm would arise?  The book of Mark records that Jesus told them to" go over unto other side"  That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Mark 4:35 NIV https://mark.bible/mark-4-35 Little did they know that a storm would arise even when it was JESUS who told them to go there.  So YES, Jesus knew that there was going to be a storm, yet He told them to go to "the other side".  (By the way Your other side could mean so many th...

Have you ever been so terrified and anxious? Perhaps your kitchen was on fire and the only person that could help you put it out was sleeping in the room next to the kitchen, sound asleep like the baby in the sticker below😁😁 .  Hello TaiKeh fams!   Today's post is titled  "Jesus! Wake up!!!" Bible Text : Then he got in the boat, his disciples with him. The next thing they knew, they were in a severe storm. Waves were crashing into the boat—and he was sound asleep! They roused him, pleading, “Master, save us! We’re going down!” Jesus reprimanded them. “Why are you such cowards, such faint-hearts?” Then he stood up and told the wind to be silent, the sea to quiet down: “Silence!” The sea became smooth as glass. The men rubbed their eyes, astonished. “What’s going on here? Wind and sea come to heel at his command!” Matthew 8:23‭-‬27 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/mat.8.23-27.MSG The disciples were on their way to another town and then suddenly a storm arose that scare...

Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” John 5:10‭-‬14 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/jhn.5.10-14.NIV Jesus had just healed a man who ha...

Hello TK Fams!  Welcome to part 4 of " IT'S BEEN 38 YEARS LORD! "  series  Let’s do a quick recap of the main points  in the previous series,  PART 1- RISE PART 2-  TAKE UP YOUR BED PART 3-  WALK Our Bible text is taken from John 5:1-11,  Soon another Feast came around and Jesus was back in Jerusalem.  Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there was a pool, in Hebrew called Bethesda , with five alcoves. Hundreds of sick people—blind, crippled, paralyzed—were in these alcoves.  One man had been an invalid there for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him stretched out by the pool and knew how long he had been there, he said, “Do you want to get well?”  The sick man said, “Sir, when the water is stirred, I don’t have anybody to put me in the pool. By the time I get there, somebody else is already in.”  Jesus said, “Get up, take your bedroll, start walking.” The man was healed on the spot. He picked up his bedroll and walked off. That d...
