Abba Father, we invite You into today’s session. Grant us Access, Abba! Take over. Take the whole atmosphere. Saturate this moment with Your presence, Lord. Break every chain, raise every weary heart, and fill us with Your fire again. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

 

ONE: BUD family praise the LORD. The LORD is good. I really want to appreciate the Lord because He is a prayer answering, wonder working God…2024 was my first time of joining Juicy July( It was introduced to me by a friend),a lot of things were happening in my family..2024 was a trying time in my life, I was jobless, hopeless, helpless, dejected or so I thought until God began moving in my life. When I felt all hopes were lost I got a paid internship miraculously, cus I made a lot of mistakes during the exams and interviews but God granted me favor. And even before I finished the internship I got a state government job. The prayer requests I wrote in 2024 are Testimonies in 2025 …praise the Lord

 

 

INK IN TIME VERSUS IN ETERNITY (A STORY)

Once upon a time in Abuja, Nigeria, there lived a woman called Catherine. She was a Maths and Music tutor who worked remotely from home. She lived a simple and content life. She loved her children deeply, took care of her home with joy, and knelt every morning beside her bed to pray fervently and study the Word. Her husband called her his jewel, because she was exactly that. An adornment to his life. It was a privilege to be married to such a meek lady and everyone envied him. 

All was well, until Catherine stumbled upon her!

The Christian Purpose Coach Extraordinaire!  

She had 400,000 followers, ten published e-books, a 5-week accelerator course, and a testimony that could make angels cry. She was the one who could help you find your divine spark, your “why,” your true reason for existing.

Catherine’s heart stirred. A deep unsettling began to rise. “What if I’ve been wasting my life? What if I’ve missed it?” With trembling fingers, she paid the extravagant fee for the ‘purpose course.’ It was the money she and her husband had saved to change the kitchen tiles. But who needs tiles when destiny is at stake?

The journey began. Late nights reading of The Purpose Driven Life, journaling memories, studying her past pain, taking personality tests, completing spiritual gifts inventories, and digging into her talents. She cried. She dug. She wrestled.

And then finally, eureka!!! It hit her. The revelation she was waiting for had come! She was born to be an Undies Creator!

It all made perfect sense. The years of struggling to find the right fit at the boutique, the body shame, the frustration during sports time at the secondary school, it had all been preparation for this purpose. God had allowed it.

From that moment, ‘purpose’ hijacked her life. She could no longer be slowed down by her husband’s affection or her children’s sticky fingers. There was no time for dinner conversations, no time to attend school events, no room for local church commitments. She was a woman on a mission. Running ads, scaling funnels, attending “Kingdom Entrepreneur” conferences, and declaring prophetic launch days. Her days began with a camera and ended with metrics. She uploaded her “Christian CEO Morning Routine” videos, the Bible, coffee, calendar, and captions.

She still tithed. She still sowed seeds to orphanages. She still prayed…on YouTube. She even tried to make sure to make singing videos on YouTube with 10 minutes praying in tongues online with her large following, just to still be doing other things for God at the side.

But slowly, something began to crack.

Her husband, Daniel,  once proud to call her his jewel, began to notice the widening gap between their hearts. He’d wait up at night with warm food on the table, only to find she had attended another “Godly Bosses Brunch.” Their prayers together became a thing of the past. Bedtime Bible reading with the kids faded into forgotten promises.

“Catherine,” he said one evening, his voice heavy with love and concern, “I miss you. The kids miss you. This business… it’s good, yes, but we’re losing you. And some of these photos you post, this isn’t who you are. You don’t need to bare yourself to sell undergarments.”

But she flared up like gunpowder.
“So now I’m immodest because I believe in what I’m called to do? You call it a business? That’s purpose, bruh! Purpose! Do you even support me at all? Or are you just another man who wants a woman barefoot and in the kitchen?”

He stared at her, the same woman who once prayed for hours for their children’s future. Now she barely knew what school events they had coming up. Their youngest had begun to stutter. The older child had become withdrawn and angry, locking himself in his room for hours.

She stopped leading worship at their local church. “It’s too small for me now,” she said. “I minister to thousands online.”

Soon, Daniel was just another interruption. His gentle words were now seen as criticism. His longing for connection was “neediness.” 

“I can’t be slowed down by someone who doesn’t see the vision. If you were truly spiritual, you’d know this is kingdom work.”

Eventually, she filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. “He was stifling me. I had to choose between staying in a cage or flying in my purpose.”

And fly she did,  right into the arms of accolades. Her videos went viral. Her “Baring It All” segment on YouTube where she spoke about her divorce sparked millions of views.

She said boldly:

“Marriage is not your purpose. Children are not your assignment. You were made for more, woman! Shake off the shackles. Be your own covering!”

She became the poster woman for “Divine Independence.”

Money flowed. Endorsements flooded in. Even churches invited her to speak at women’s conferences. She stood on pulpits with fog machines and LED lights, quoting half a verse and a full funnel strategy.

But her nights were cold. Her heart was empty. Sometimes, she’d catch a glimpse of herself in the mirror and not recognize the woman staring back.
She missed her son’s first science award. Her daughter’s birthday was celebrated via a scheduled Zoom call. 

Daniel had moved on, not to another woman, but to healing. He was raising the kids with grace, shielding them as best as he could from the chaos.

Then one morning, as she headed to speak at a “She is Purpose” summit in Lagos, her driver swerved to avoid an oncoming truck.

There was no time. It was quick. And silent. The next thing she knew… she opened her eyes. Not to hospital walls. But to eternity.

She blinked. There was no pain. No heaviness. No sound of sirens. No sorrow. Just… stillness. 

She looked down and reached out. Nothing solid. Light enveloped her, pure and piercing. A voice thundered

“Catherine.”

She turned.

“Come forward. The Book.”

And then, before her, like a great screen from another realm, a script began to play.

Her life. Not the one she posted online. Not the reels, or the YouTube videos. Not the filters.

This was raw. Eternal. Scripted by the Ancient of Days.

She saw herself. In a quiet home. With little ones giggling around her feet. She was teaching them the Psalms. 

She saw herself. She was mentoring a group of teen girls every Friday in her living room. Her home smelled of baked foods and spiritual songs.

She and her husband were hands held in prayer, eyes in tears for their neighborhood.

Then the scene changed.

She saw a teenage girl in a school, breaking down in tears after hearing a testimony she was supposed to share at a conference. But she never went. Because that conference had been replaced with a “Launch Masterclass.”

Another flash. A woman, broken from a failed marriage, waiting in a Christian WhatsApp group for Catherine’s reply. But she never replied. Because she was busy planning “Brand Expansion Strategies for Kingdom Women.”

More scenes flew by.

Her son’s wedding day without her.

Her daughter learning how to put on a sanitary pad from a YouTube video.

Her husband, once full of light, now quietly serving God in sorrow, watching the kids carry on.

But she became something else. A viral flame. Burnt out. Empty.

And a voice spoke:

“You had your reward.”

She dropped to her knees. No words. No justification. Not even tears could come. Everything was clear. Undeniable. You don’t argue with The Script.

Then, from behind her, she heard the faint sound of applause. Likes. Views. Followers. But they faded like the wind.

She turned to look. But they vanished like smoke in light.

“Depart.”

And just like that, silence again.

And in that moment, Catherine knew: She had lived loud. But not well.

She had pursued a counterfeit crown, and lost the one prepared for her.

.

.

.

.

Back on earth, tributes poured in.

“She was a woman of strength!”

“She taught us how to chase purpose!”

“Her drive was unmatched!”

There were tribute videos. Poems. Even a documentary in production: “She Dared To Rise.”

But her husband sat in silence. Their children stared out of the window. They had watched the light leave her eyes long before she died.

 

Dear Sisters, Fall upon your Father and cry:

• Father, deliver me from a life that looks successful but is bankrupt of Heaven!

• Let nothing I build, gain, or become stand tall before men yet crumble before Your throne, Father. 

• Ah, Abba, break every false success, every proud journey that took off without Your breath. Let me not run fast in the wrong direction. Rescue me from becoming a shooting star when You wrote me to be a burning lamp.

• My Lord, I humbly return. I burn every false prophecy I spoke over myself. I am not what the world says I am. I am not even what I assumed I was. I want what You wrote. Nothing more, nothing less.

• Oh my Father! Please, let my applause come from the cloud of witnesses, not from crowds who don’t know my name in eternity. 

• Help me, Daddy to live for the commendation of the Lamb, not the comments of men!!! 

• Ahhhh, may I not have my reward here and be bankrupt there. 

 

EXHORTATION: OH FATHER, WHY AM I HERE?

“Why am I here?”

This has become the loudest cry echoing in churches, in inboxes, on pulpits, in songs, and on social media captions. Everybody is asking, “What is my purpose?” But do you know what is more alarming? It is how self has become the center of the question.

It is no longer about God’s will, it is about my fulfillment. My impact. My platform. My brand. My calling. God have mercy! We’ve turned what should be a holy pursuit into a self-obsessed journey. We want to find purpose, not because we want to serve God better, but because we want to feel important. Important! That’s the bait! And Satan is smiling in one corner, watching us chase our tails in circles.

Look around. There’s a dissatisfaction so loud it is deafening. Even in the Church! Women who once found joy in loving Jesus now feel “less than” because they haven’t “found their big purpose.” 

Mothers who are faithfully raising arrows in the hands of God suddenly feel like failures because they don’t have a mic or a ministry page. 

Wives who once prayed with their husbands in the closet now want stages. Why? Because the new idol is called “my divine assignment.”

But sis, wait. If you cook jollof rice, does the rice start asking, “Why am I here?” Ha! You will look at the pot and say, “You are here because I made you, for me to enjoy!” Likewise, if a manufacturer designs a car, the car doesn’t go about questioning its existence. It doesn’t roam the streets in search of meaning. No! It waits until the one who made it sits behind the wheel and drives it toward purpose.

Ah! God did not create us for us. He created us for Himself. Revelation 4:11 says, “Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” Full stop. 

Purpose begins with God’s pleasure, not your ambition. We were made to love Him, to worship Him, to wait on Him. But now, Satan has created a whirlwind of pressure. Everyone feels like a failure if they’re not “doing something mighty” for God. So we begin to manufacture callings, form visions, fake assignments, and package everything with spiritual buzzwords. But it’s all noise without intimacy. Oh, such emptiness!

Do you see how Satan has turned waiting into wasting in our minds? Ah! We no longer value quiet seasons. We no longer trust God’s timing. If you’re not trending, you’re wasting. If your purpose hasn’t gone viral, you’re lost. My dear sister, waiting on the Lord is a holy calling. 

Loving God with your whole heart is purpose. 

Obedience in the hidden place is purpose. 

Raising your children in the fear of God is purpose. 

Submitting to your husband as unto the Lord is purpose. 

Praying in the midnight for your neighborhood is purpose. 

Even serving quietly in the background is purpose!

But the enemy whispers, “You’re wasting.” So we chase “purpose” and lose our first love!

 

BE DISCERNING!

Dear sisters, just because something becomes extremely popular, even if it’s a song that everyone is singing, doesn’t mean we should join the bandwagon. As children of God, we are called to cross-check everything with the Word of God.

Where exactly in the Bible did you see people embarking on a mission to go and “discover” purpose? You don’t discover purpose. Purpose is revealed. And the truth is, the general purpose for all believers has already been revealed in the Scriptures:

“Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” – Ecclesiastes 12:13

The whole duty!!! Hehe! The very whole duty! 

Live in obedience to the Word of the Lord. Walk according to the purpose of the living God, for His glory. That is your purpose! 

If God has a specific assignment for your life, He will reveal it to you in His own time. Until then, keep walking in obedience!!!

But the real question is: Why don’t we actually want to walk in obedience?

Why are we so quick to seek people to tell us our purpose? People who are mere mortals like us and don’t even fully know themselves?

How can a human being sit you down and tell you that your talents and skills are the reason God sent you into the world? 

Is the world really so captivating, so worthy, that the King of Heaven would send you here primarily to become a photographer? A fashion designer? A singer?

If that were the case, then the purpose of Jesus Christ would have been carpentry. Paul would have been tent-making  Luke would have been medicine. Peter would have been fishing. David would have been harp-playing.

But no! These were merely skills they had; their purpose was to glorify God, fulfill His will, and advance His kingdom. And it’s the same for us.

Don’t be deceived by trends. Your purpose is not a mystery waiting to be unlocked by some conference, course, or coach. It is a call to daily obedience, Christlike living, and kingdom service and as you walk in that, God will unfold your unique assignment in His perfect time.

 

CHARACTERISTICS OF A PSEUDO-PURPOSE

When you see someone walking in a pseudo purpose, a fake assignment, it is not hard to discern. It is loud. It is restless. It is noisy. You may not even need to look twice. It screams from everything they do! Their peace is gone. There is no peace for the one chasing shadows. They are using the whole of their strength, laboring day and night, sweating profusely for what heaven has not sent them. And at the end of the day, they beat their chest as if to say, “I made it happen!” No, my dear, you carried it all on your head because God was never in it.

Such a person becomes their own god. They push, they press, they hustle, they grind, not with grace but with anxious striving. And you know what follows? Bitterness. They become competitive, always checking the next woman’s page, monitoring what she posted, how many followers she has, how many invites she received, what award she just won. Ah! They are quick to speak ill, to throw shade, to subtly kill the image of others, all so they can shine. My sister, tell me, is this purpose? God have mercy!

This pseudo-purpose, this fake calling, is also very destructive. It will do anything to preserve its throne. Anything that looks like a threat must die! If it’s her marriage that looks like a hindrance, she will crush it. If it’s her children disturbing her “flow,” they become an inconvenience. If a pregnancy dares to show up and interrupt her rise, she will terminate it without blinking. That is how damning this false pursuit is.

It pursues money without holding back. It seeks fame like her life depends on it. It wants a name even if it means sacrificing anything whatsoever. Everything is for the gram. Everything is for the show. And to keep up appearances? Ah, this woman will borrow money, borrow clothes, borrow a life she doesn’t own, just to prove that “I am not failing.”

She pretends to be happy. Pretends to be spiritual. Pretends to be emotionally available. Pretends to have it all together. And everyone is clapping, but heaven is weeping, because this was never what she was created to do.

This kind of purpose is not of God. It is a counterfeit, a beautifully wrapped lie. It may bring temporary applause, but it ends in deep sorrow. And the scariest part? The more she wins in the eyes of the world, the further she drifts from God.

Oh, may the Lord deliver us from walking in purpose that Heaven did not assign to us! May we not succeed at what God never sent us to do. May we not win the praise of men and lose our soul in the process.

 

Take a Pause and Breathe

Take a moment, dear sister. Just pause. Lay aside the lists, the thoughts, the striving, and open your Bible slowly to our text for today. Isaiah 30.

What a profound chapter it is!

It begins with a woe, a warning to the children of God who make plans without God, who run ahead without His Spirit, who lean on man instead of waiting on the Lord.

“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “that take counsel, but not of me… that walk to go down into Egypt and have not asked at my mouth…” Isaiah 30:1–2

The Lord is warning His people. Stop running to Egypt. Egypt, here, is symbolic. It’s the coaches, the podcasts, the life designers, the “purpose consultants” who say they’ve found why you’re alive, but never open the Word of God or lead you into prayers. They tell you to follow your dreams, your truth, your giftings, your path. They make a map, and then sell you a course, but it’s not from the Lord. And because it is not from Him, it births restlessness instead of peace.

Oh, dear sister, you were not designed to figure out your life on your own.

You were designed to receive your life. To walk in already prepared paths. To rest in the deep assurance that God wrote every one of your days before even one came to be (Psalm 139:16).

“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30:15

But what happened? “You would not.” You preferred motion over rest, planning over praying, hustle over holy trust. But the invitation remains. He is waiting for you to stop striving and come sit at His feet.

Psalm 139:16 says:

“Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me…”

Sister, before you were even formed in your mother’s womb, there was already a book. Your life is a story already written by God. You don’t need to create a new script. You only need to say like Jesus in Hebrews 10:7:

“Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”

You’re not the writer. You are the reader, the follower, the yielded vessel. You don’t have to invent your purpose, you are to have it revealed in due time and obey it. 

And as you walk, let your heart echo David’s cry:

“One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.” Psalm 27:4

When you seek His face, not just His hand, you will discover your place.

When you bury yourself in Christ, your assignment will rise up from within.

When you learn to wait, you will gain wings.

So today, come out of Egypt. Come out of the pressure to prove anything. Let go of the false burdens to “become” something impressive. Rest in His presence. Trust His script. Return to the posture of worship and surrender.

Because, yes, it is in quietness and trust that your strength lies.

 

About True Purpose

Purpose is all about God, from Him, for Him, and to Him. It’s not self-assigned, it is Spirit-led. It doesn’t start from a “passion test,” a TED talk, or a branding course. It starts on your knees, in the secret place, in surrender. It flows from heaven’s throne and not from human ambition.

True purpose is not noisy. It’s not about being everywhere or trending. It’s not always loud, but it is always loud in heaven.

There’s peace in purpose. Contentment, even in the little. Joy, even when results are slow. Glory, even when the world sees none.

 

The Characteristics of True Purpose:

1. It is divine in origin.
2. It is not self-assigned.
3. It predates your birth.
4. It aligns with God’s will.
5. It glorifies Jesus.
6. It serves others.
7. It is bigger than you.
8. It cannot be fulfilled in the flesh.
9. It is tied to obedience.
10. It often requires waiting.
11. It demands dying to self.
12. It thrives in intimacy with God.
13. It is revealed progressively.
14. It has a time and season.
15. It can be missed.
16. It provokes satanic attacks.
17. It requires spiritual sensitivity.
18. It is not always glamorous.
19. It brings deep fulfillment.
20. It will be judged in eternity.

I can take days and days explaining each of these, I tell you. It would be great to bury yourself into this and find out what they mean. It’s extremely revelational, sis. Understanding all these deep in your spirit destroys all your anxiety and fear and restlessness and pressures.

 

ALREADY DETERMINED PURPOSE OF GOD FOR ALL WOMEN:

• To love and fear the Lord above all (Proverbs 31:30)
• To be a helpmate to their husband in God’s design (Genesis 2:18; Ephesians 5:22-33)
• To raise and nurture godly children (Titus 2:4-5; Proverbs 31:27)
• To manage the household well with diligence and wisdom (Proverbs 31:15-27)
• To live a life of holiness and submission to God’s Word (1 Peter 3:3-6)
• To encourage, teach, and mentor other women in faith (Titus 2:3-5)
• To be strong, dignified, and clothed with strength and honor (Proverbs 31:25)
• To serve the body of Christ with their spiritual gifts (Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12)
• To pray fervently and intercede for others (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
• To love their neighbor and show hospitality (Romans 12:13)

And to you, dear single sister, these listed callings above are just as much for you. For now, you might not have a husband to submit to, but you do have parents who deserve your respect and submission. You might not yet have children to raise in the fear of the Lord, but there are younger siblings, cousins, or nephews who need your prayers, your care, and your example. You may not have a home to build and manage, but the home you came from, your parents’ home, is a place where you can start to serve faithfully.

Faithfulness in these “little” things matters greatly. Honoring your parents, showing them love and submission, is not just a duty but a powerful purpose. Dive deep into God’s Word. Spending time alone with Him, studying the Scriptures and praying, is a special calling too. It’s in these quiet moments of seeking Him that God reveals the grander plans He has for your life. As you faithfully walk this path of devotion and service, He will unfold the bigger picture, step by step. This exactly is where your purpose begins and where it grows!

Erm, sis, why do I feel that you despise this list of God’s already defined purposes for your life?

Do you look at these callings and think, “Is that really all there is for me?”

Or do you rush past them, searching for some bigger, flashier purpose that fits the world’s loudest voices?

Beware the temptation to dismiss what God has clearly laid before you: loving Him above all, nurturing your family, walking in holiness, serving others with your gifts.

These are not small things, sis. They are the foundation stones of a life fully lived in God’s design.

When you embrace these, you align yourself with His eternal plan and open your heart to the deeper, richer calling He wants to unfold in due time.

Rejecting these is like discarding the root of a tree, hoping the branches will still grow strong.

Let us cherish and steward these divine callings with reverence and faithfulness as our obedience to them becomes the soil in which God plants His biggest purposes. Let us go deep, sis, in obedience.

 

CHOOSE THE LEGITIMATE!

Dear daughter of my Father, you see, in this world, there are two clear-cut roads when it comes to making money. One is legitimate and the other is illegitimate. 

The legitimate way? Oh, it’s not always sweet or easy. No, it isn’t. You might have to wake early to study hard, labor through sleepless nights to earn a certificate, or patiently learn a skill with your bare hands. You may sweat, cry, feel like giving up, yet, it is the way that honors God. That is the way that doesn’t stain your hands with blood or your heart with guilt. And you see, when that money comes, no matter how small or long it takes, it comes with peace. You sleep well. You laugh deeply. You know your Maker is pleased.

But then there’s the other path, ah, God have mercy. The illegitimate way. You just see someone call you and say, “Come, let me take you to someone. He’ll do something for you. Just bring this, say this, drop that,” and suddenly, you begin to “see money.” But at what cost? That’s how many people today end up in demonic covenants. You begin to shine on the outside while dying inside. You drive big cars, yet your spirit is chained. Oh, what a terrible exchange! 

But sis, while we often point fingers at these ones and condemn them “Yee, they’ve gone to the Babaláwo!”, many of us are not so different. The truth is, many believers today are also looking for shortcuts, not just in money, but in purpose!

Ah, so unfortunate. Instead of walking patiently with God, staying in the secret place, embracing the rugged road of prayer, humility, brokenness, and discipline that eventually births purpose, they start running helter-skelter. They go online and pay huge amounts of money to purpose coaches, fellow humans, just like them. Some will say, “I paid ₦300,000 and finally found my purpose.” 

My dear, is it a product you buy in a store? Can something as sacred and divine as purpose be purchased like a handbag? Chai! God have mercy.

Let me tell you, sis. God is not in a hurry. He does not pour out purpose on just any heart. He looks. He waits. He tests. Before He trusted Joseph with rulership, He watched him walk through betrayal, slavery, prison, and still remain faithful. 

Before Mary carried Jesus, she had to be a virgin, not just by body, but by spirit. 

Before Hannah birthed Samuel, she had to vow, “Lord, if You give me a child, I will give him back to You.” 

This is God’s pattern. It is not sudden. It is not microwaved. You can’t speed it up by paying or pretending.

 

YOUR SCRIPT 

You see, the Author of life, Your Father,  did not just make you and toss you into the earth to wander aimlessly. No, He wrote you. He breathed you. He sent you. And you were meant to live, breathe, eat, speak, marry, serve, rest, travel, work, love, as it is written of you. 

It was said of Jesus repeatedly: “That the Scriptures might be fulfilled.” That was an eternal principle. He lived to fulfill what was written. Even the donkey that carried Him was prophesied. Ah! A whole colt! A donkey’s purpose was documented in prophecy, and you think your life is random? God have mercy!

My sister, John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elijah. He never sat in Elijah’s meetings. He didn’t watch a YouTube replay of Elijah’s sermons. But when he walked, dressed, ate, prayed, and cried out in the wilderness, it was evident that this man was simply continuing a relay, picking up a baton from centuries before. Elijah passed it to Elisha. Then, when the heavens needed another voice, John was sent to pick up that same mantle. My sister, who are you continuing? What baton have you collected, knowingly or unknowingly? Have you joined a God-ordained lineage or just a career line?

Oh, sis! What are you running after? Is it a cat race or the divine one set before you? And this is not about whether you are in full-time ministry or not. It’s about whether you’re in sync with the Father. Whether you’re doing what He wrote. Whether your life flows from the altar of His will. Have you even glimpsed the heavenly pages of your life? Or have you been tricked to believe those pages don’t exist? But they do! They do! That’s the tragedy of it! And that is what will be used to judge your life on the final day. Not what people celebrated you for, but what Heaven actually wrote!

Ayaaaa! Can we begin again? Can we stop reading the devil’s scripts, the ones where your worth is measured by likes, money, achievements, trends, talents, and go back to the desk of our Father? 

Can we burn the papers society, parents, culture, and even our own ambitions have handed us? Sis, let’s throw them into the fire! And sit. Stay. Wait. Love Him. Listen. Be changed. Be small. Be hidden, if necessary. That’s where the real script begins to be read aloud to your spirit.

God doesn’t entrust great assignments to strangers. He doesn’t hand scrolls to those who are still busy flirting with Egypt. He waits until you’re faithful in the little: your devotion, your private obedience, your simple daily “yes.” 

That’s when He begins to whisper, then show, then commission. That’s when He wraps you in security, stamps you with approval, covers you with authority, and sends you with power. 

But we must first be judged faithful. Look at Jesus. Look at Mary. Look at Hannah. Look at Joseph. They didn’t burst into purpose by accident. They were tested. Tried. Found faithful.

And please, sis, know this: purpose is revealed progressively. It’s not something you “find” one day and run with forever. It is revealed line by line, chapter by chapter, like a scroll. That’s why dependence is essential. That’s why stillness is non-negotiable. That’s why staying close to the Father is the beginning and continuation of every purpose-filled life. He must reveal it.

Time is ticking. The script has a deadline. It’s time-sensitive. Redeem the time, sis! The day will come when there will be no more daylight to walk in what He wrote. Oh dear sister, don’t delay. Don’t be stubborn. Don’t get lost in the hustle and lose the holy. Don’t get lost in the good and miss the God. That busy, loud, draining thing you’re doing that’s choking your prayer life, killing your intimacy with God, making your bored and sleepy before your Bible, draining your love, distracting you from your home, and disconnecting you from peace, is that one purpose? You know it’s not. You know.

Your talents, skills, degrees, and certificates are all tools for your job, to make money that can sustain you here on earth. They are not your work. You have a job, yes, but it is different from your work.  

Jesus said, “I must work the works of Him who sent me while it is day.” That work was not the carpentry job. He was talking about His purpose, His destiny. 

Let that become your cry. Sell everything to lay hold on that work! Seek it out in intimacy. And one day, in eternity, you’ll smile, not because you made noise on earth but because you fulfilled all that was written.

May God deliver us from a rewritten destiny. May God rescue us from a microwave generation that cannot wait to be formed before wanting to be sent. May God open our eyes and humble our hearts until we say, “Not my will, but Yours be done.”

Ayaaaaaa, my sister, let’s rise from the hustle and noise.

Let’s rise from the noise of achievements and applause.

Let’s rise from the false security of certificates and salaries.

Let’s rise from the endless chase for relevance in the eyes of men.

Let’s rise from trying to “figure it all out.”

Let’s rise from trying to compete with the next woman.

Let’s rise from being busy yet empty.

Let’s rise from writing our own stories with ink we stole from the world.

Let’s return, not to the crowd, not to the culture, not even to the church activities, but to the Desk of the Author. The One who knew you before you were formed. The One who wrote your days before one of them began. The One who held your life in mind even before your mother held you in womb.

Let’s crawl, walk, or run back to Him, whatever it takes, but let’s return.

And let’s say with trembling hearts and tears:

“Father… show me what You wrote. Or better still… don’t even show me yet. Just let me get lost in loving You. Let me become so hidden in You that purpose flows out of that place like a river. I don’t want to chase purpose anymore, I want to chase You. I trust You. You don’t waste lives. And even if anything, I’d waste my life on You!”

Ayaaaaaa…

Even if all I do with this life is burn it like expensive perfume at Your feet…

Even if the world never claps or sees me…

Even if I seem “behind” in the race they made up…

Let me just be with You.

You, my Father are Purpose.
You are the Point.
You are the Prize.

Let all the noise fade.
Let the fake scripts catch fire

Let the destiny-rewriters be silenced.
Let the fear of missing it be drowned in the love of knowing You.

STIRRING THE WATERS

Dear sister, it is that special moment. 10 good minutes of stirring the waters, of praying in the Holy Ghost. Please gladly take this short pause. Let the instrumental below play and just stir. Don’t rush this. Pray in the Spirit. Abba to Daughter. Spirit to Spirit.

And if you haven’t received the gift of the Holy Spirit yet? This is YOUR TIME! Cry out to Abba:  “Father, fill me! Baptize me! Immerse me in Your Spirit! I need You for life, Holy Spirit, come. Baptize me with the Holy Ghost and Father, please grant me another pentecost in Jesus Name”

Let’s start stirring. 

 

 

TAKE CHARGE

We are daughters, let’s take charge over the territories where we are represented right now. 

Father, by Your mighty Name, I sanctify my body, my home, and my atmosphere right now. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11) and declare every strange spirit, every demonic stronghold, to flee by fire (Psalm 34:7). I cleanse this place and myself from every trace of darkness (2 Corinthians 6:17). Let Your Holy Spirit fill this space and my life with Your perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). I take authority as Your beloved daughter and refuse to be moved. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

 

START PRAYING

Sis, if you’ve ever prayed before, now is the time to turn it up! You’re not here to joke.

 

SECTION 1: 

• Father, thank You for the past 20 days of fire, pruning, shaping, and divine infusions. I am not the same!
• Lord, thank You for every battle won in the Spirit, for every tear that has birthed glory in my life, and for every breaking inme that has produced oil.

• Every voice pushing me to compete, overperform, and pretend, be silenced by the voice of the Spirit of the Lord in the Name of Jesus. You have no hold over my life henceforth in the Name of Jesus!
• Lord, please separate me from the destructive path of worldly success that destroys marriages, kills children, kills spiritual life, kills eternity in me and mocks Heaven in the Mighty Name of Jesus. 

SECTION 3

• Abba, please, let me not run with what looks good but let me wait for what is truly God in the Mighty Name of Jesus. 
• Reveal my portion daily, Baba mi, open my eyes to know the steps You’ve ordered for me each day by Your mercies in the Name of Jesus.

SECTION 5

• Align my mind to think Your thoughts; align my heart to beat to Heaven’s rhythm; align my feet to follow Your lead, Faaaathhherrr!!!
• Every alignment with people, projects, or places not written into my divine scroll, Lord, my God, scatter them now!
• Let every door that is not in Your plan for me remain permanently shut—no matter how golden it looks.
• Settle my spirit in Your will, even when my flesh screams for something different in the merciful Name of Jesus.
• Give me joy in divine alignment, not in human applause or results in Jesus’ Name. .

• Every strange pen writing a different ending for me, be broken by the Blood of Jesus!

SECTION 7

• Lord, give me divine stamina to wait, watch, war, and walk till every word You’ve spoken comes alive.
• I reject the urge to jump out of process just to prove a point. I am hidden until You reveal me in the Name of Jesus.
• Let me not shortcut the fire that is meant to refine me. I surrender to the workings of grace in the Name of Jesus.
• Strengthen my faith when I can’t trace Your hand, and anchor my soul when the winds blow, dear Father of lights, my God. 
• I will not abort the divine pregnancy because of weariness, in the Name of Jesus. 
• Holy Spirit, carry me! (Cry till you have a nudge to move on)

NOW, DECLARE

The end of my story has already been sealed with victory. I declare that I will not crash before my crown comes. I will not be a lesson to others on what happens when one misses God. I will not be a warning, I will be a wonder. I will not die with songs unsung, books unwritten, messages unpreached, or souls unreached. I will not be a shadow of the woman God intended me to be. I will not give the devil a comma where God placed a full stop. I will not quit at the gate of breakthrough. I will not hand over the baton to my children unfinished. I will cross the finish line of my life in joy, with Heaven and earth bearing witness: “This one fulfilled it.” My legacy will scream Jesus. My footprints will point to Zion. My name will echo obedience. And my life will be proof that God never wastes a life surrendered to Him. I declare in the Name of Jesus that cannot fail. Amen. 

 

STANDING IN THE GAP

Now, please intercede. Stand in the gap for others. Take these as if they were yours:

ONE: I want God to clear all the debt in my home and miraculously provide for us

I want God to give me a remote job whereby I will have time to do my work effectively and ministry well

I want God to open a great opportunity for my husband

 

TWO: Please join me in Prayers on this. I periodically have dreams of sexual encounters, sometimes when I wake up physically from such dreams, it would seem real. I have prayed about it seveally, it stopped for a while but recently reoccurred. Before I got married, I don’t think I had any of such, I noticed it after marriage. This year, it has come in different forms using different faces (familiar and unfamiliar faces-majorly male(s) and a female). Please pray that God would deliver me from whatever this is and whatever has caused it and that God would put an immediate end to this evil sexual encounters in Jesus Name.

Also, I’m presently pregnant, join me in prayers for God’s protection over my Baby and I , that God would keep us in Good health and grant us safe delivery at the appointed time in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

THREE: For some times now,I have been having series of dreams but I don’t seem to remember a thing when I wake up. I sense there’s a message God wants to pass to me. My prayer request is that, my eyes are open, my ears begin to hear and my heart perceives clearly. Also, that God gives me Spiritual retention. That I remember His messages to me. Pray for me sisters.

 

FOUR: I want the children of God to pray for me that the Lord should uproot anything He didn’t plant in my life, THE only thing that is permitted to grow in my womb is babies, I refuse to believe the Dr’s report. Help me pray that nothing will happen to me and my baby in Jesus name. Come next year Juicy July, I am coming with my baby and that the Lord should give me a PEACFUL AND BEAUTIFUL PREGNANCY JOURNEY AND SMOOTH DELIVERY LIKE THE HEBREW WOMEN THAT BOTH I AND MY BABY WILL COME OUT STRONG AND HEALTHY. 

ROUND OFF WITH THANKSGIVING, SISTERS.

I can promise you before July ends, you’d start to have encounters you never knew existed! Ayaaa… Just open your mouth and let it pour! Amen!

Round off with thanksgiving when you are done.
