They that wait upon the Lord, shall Renew their strength - Isaiah 40:31 Different things make up the 'Waiting' season for different people. Precious shares her journey with Unity of Purpose. Keep reading to see her experience. Unity of Purpose: Hi Precious, what is Purpose to you? Precious : Purpose is living the intent of God on earth. Doing all things with the consciousness of bringing glory to God. Unity of Purpose: Tell Unity of Purpose your idea of a dating/marital relationship Precious: I belief relationship should be enjoyed and not endured, two people working to bring out the best in each other. Unity of Purpose : Please share your story with us The dream of any girl is to marry a tall, dark and handsome good man, as was my dream too. However being good is a relative term in human dictionary, and because God knows us, He knows what we need to complement us and bring out the best in us. As we know, a relationship can make or mar you. Back in the university I was in and o

When I listen to People by Jonathan McReynolds, I really understand what scripture means when it says 'the temptations in your life are no different from what others experience'. It feels as though he looked into my experiences and wrote that music. Cause I can't point 'em out I won't say their names I don't know the damage Or which one to blame It's just people, people Deliver me -Lyrics from Jonathan McReynolds' 'People' Every year, three days leading up to my birthday, I engage in a praying and fasting programme, just as a means of thanking God for the past year and reflecting. This year though, Inaton joined me. I call her my life partner, but that's explanation for another day. We decided that we were going to actively pray concerning the coming year and dedicate it to God. At the end of the programme, I received some words for the year, one of which was, 'You don't and cannot do life alone'. That word broke me, because the t

Unity of Purpose: Hi Ella. What is purpose to you? Ella:  Purpose to me is basically My Reason. Reason for existing, reason for getting up every day, reason for the decisions I make and how I align myself. And ultimately the reason for which God made me. Unity of purpose: How does your relationship affect your life purpose? Ella : Whether it   be friendship, romantic relationships or partnership, aligning with the wrong person/people can greatly deter you from your purpose. Focusing on romantic relationships or marriages, any married person will tell you that if you marry wrong, it’s the worst thing that can ever happen to a person and vice versa goes for marrying right. This is largely due to proximity and influence. Physically, you need someone who can build you up, advice you, be your biggest fan, read briefs/contracts with you, recommend you to people, believes in you etc. Spiritually and more importantly, you need someone who can intercede with you, share revelations with you, com

2 minutes read Do you journal? I journal a lot. I've always had diaries since I was a child. When it became less effective to have them in hard copy form, I started to journal on my laptop, and now I journal on the Notes app on my phone. I'm new to blogging, but definitely not new to putting my thoughts into writing. Journaling for me is therapeutic. I put down whatever is going on in my life, the exact way I feel, what I'd like to do about it, and what I eventually do about it. Last year though, I saw God do something through my journaling habit. He showed me growth and how He's working on me.  I look at some of the things I wrote down, the way I felt about myself, prayers said to God, and I realized that He heard and answered them all. 21st September 2018 I'm learning that my imperfections are beautiful I'm learning to love me   I have been learning this a long time, maybe it will take a lifetime to unlearn all I learned wrong, but I won't stop lea

' Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble' - Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 The reason scriptures advocate that two people are better than one is because there is an assumption that two people who are together can help each other get back up if one person falls. Where two people are together however, but can't help each other get back up, I can't say those are the two people scriptures say are better off than one. To really fulfill the advantage scripture sees in two people being better off than one, the both of them would have to be going in the same direction, for the same purpose. And I believe these are the kind of 'two people' scriptures speak of. Two people who are of similar vision, and ideologies. Two people who can pick each other up in life’s journey. Two people who can really help each other succeed.  I've never really been
