“Don’t settle for someone who tolerates you. Wait for the one who celebrates you.” - Bimbo Odukoya

Whenever I remember this quote by the late Bimbo Odukoya, it fires me up.

Too many people are stuck in situationships, or what they consider relationships where they are merely tolerated. They walk on eggshells. They shrink themselves. They over-explain, over-apologise, and over-perform just to feel enough.

In a relationship, when you are being tolerated, it feels like you’re an inconvenience. Like your existence is being managed, not embraced. And that is not love. That’s endurance. That’s someone folding their arms, watching the clock, waiting for the version of you that’s easier for them to handle.

Now contrast that with being celebrated.

Celebration looks like someone who lights up when they see you.

Someone who leans in to understand you, not just put up with your complexities. Someone who thanks God for you, prays with you, laughs with you, and sees your presence as a gift, not a burden.

Real love doesn’t make you feel hard to love.
It doesn’t reduce you to your flaws or make you question your worth every two weeks.

And no, waiting for that kind of love is not asking for too much. It’s asking for what’s healthy. What’s God-ordained. What’s sustainable.

So, if you’re in a relationship where you feel like someone is just “managing” you, I challenge you to ask yourself this: Why am I settling for survival when I was created for a wholesome love experience? Kai.

And you see this type? It is not forced. If it is there, it’s there. If it is not there, it is not there.

The love that celebrates you exists. But sometimes, God can’t release that person because you’re still busy holding on to the one who only tolerates you.

Please, choose someone that celebrates you. Choose a love that makes you feel like you’re home, not a guest overstaying their welcome.

You are not too much. You are not a burden. You are a person to be loved loudly, fully, intentionally.

Wait for that. And while you wait, become that for yourself first.

We attacked villages and killed people; when we left bush we were shown Islam doctrine—Ex-Boko Haram

A repentant Boko Haram terrorist has shared his regrets after leaving the group. He said he joined the group in 2020 and took part in attacks on many communities. He said they caused a lot of destruction and killed people but he deeply regrets those actions.

Speaking in a video shared by Daily Trust TV, the ex-Boko Haram man said the northern communities they attacked and destroyed had the resources to help the region grow, and if they had known better, they would not have destroyed the communities. He said after coming out of the bush he was taught the true teachings of Islam, which made him realize that what they were doing was wrong.
The man called on his former friends still in Boko Haram to stop fighting, saying that their actions are not in line with what God wants. He urged them to surrender and choose peace, just like he did, so they too can have a chance to live a better and more meaningful life.

In his words: "I joined the Boko Haram campaign in 2020, we attacked many communities and shed innocent blood. We regret everything we destroyed especially in the lake chad, if we knew we would not have done it because the communities have everything to take care of this region. But when we left the bush, we were revealed to the true doctrine of Islam. I want to tell my former friends that what they are doing is not the work of Allah, they should come out and embrace peace"

The reason why some people never get to enjoy God's sudden visitation is because they try to put him in their own mold.
Lord, please help us to keep trusting you for our sudden divine visitation in Jesus name.
A-M-E-N.

Good morning all, how is the family? Happy Easter . May the remaining days of this year bring forth Divine lifting in Jesus name. May we manifest God's glory by the mercy of Jesus

GREAT WISDOM FOR VICTORIOUS LIVING.

1. The less you say, the more your words will matter.
Choose your words wisely. In a noisy world full of opinions, wisdom is often found in silence and thoughtful speech. Be known for words that uplift, not for words that merely fill the air.

2. Don't take everything personally.
People have their own battles and burdens. Most aren’t thinking about you as much as you think. Learn to let things go, and choose peace over unnecessary offense.

3. Focus on possibilities, not problems.
Your mindset shapes your destiny. A problem-focused life creates fear and limits, but a possibility-driven mind sees open doors in every difficulty. Be solution-oriented.

4. Your struggle is shaping you.
Pain is a part of growth. What you’re going through today might be the very thing that prepares you for what you prayed for tomorrow. Keep moving forward.

5. There’s a reason behind every connection.
Some people come to teach you, some to test you, and others to build you. And sometimes, you are sent into someone’s life for those same reasons. Learn to discern the difference.

6. Dare to try new things.
Staying in your comfort zone is easy, but greatness lives outside it. Explore, learn, and experience life beyond the familiar. Every risk carries a reward, even if it’s a lesson.

7. Emotional pain is real.
Being ignored by those you care about hurts. Acknowledge it, but don't let it control you. Build emotional resilience. Know your worth doesn't depend on anyone's attention.

8. Appreciate moments while you have them.
Today’s ordinary moments will become tomorrow’s treasured memories. Be fully present in your relationships, conversations, and experiences.

9. Gratitude shifts your focus.
When you start counting your blessings, your heart finds peace, and your eyes open to new opportunities. A grateful heart makes room for more.

10. Control your words, control your life.
Your future is shaped by what you speak. Speak life, hope, and purpose over yourself and others. Don’t let careless words ruin what discipline could have preserved.

11. Life reflects your thoughts.
Your mindset determines your outcome. If you see the world as hostile, you’ll live in fear. If you see it as filled with opportunities, you’ll find them.

12. It's not what happens to you, but how you respond.
Life is unpredictable. You can’t control everything, but you can control your attitude. A positive, faith-driven response will always position you for growth.

13. You wake up to yourself every day.
Be someone you respect when no one’s watching. Integrity and self-respect matter more than public approval.

14. Acts from the heart bring the deepest joy.
When you help, love, or serve with sincerity, the fulfillment you gain is priceless. Pursue what adds value to others.

15. Your circle shapes your destiny.
Surround yourself with people who inspire, challenge, and uplift you. If you walk with wise people, you’ll grow wiser. Choose relationships intentionally.

16. Knowing yourself unlocks your potential.
Self-awareness is a superpower. Understand your strengths, weaknesses, and passions. When you know who you are, you stop living for approval and start living with purpose.

Final Thought for the Youth:
You are living in a time of endless distractions and options. Wisdom is knowing what to hold on to, what to let go of, and what to reach for. Choose God, choose growth, and choose to live intentionally.

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” — Proverbs 4:7

May God bless you, guide you, and cause you to thrive.

3 Battles Every Lady Must Win to Succeed in Relationships

There are 3 core battles every lady must conquer if she’s going to win in love. Not just any kind of love, but intentional, godly, healthy kind of love that leads to peace, not pain.

1. The Battle Against Low Self-Esteem

It starts with you. Not with a man. Not with a proposal. Not even with relationship. YOU.

The way you see yourself determines the love you think you deserve. We choose the love we think we deserve.

A lady with low self-esteem will overlook red flags just to be chosen. She’ll keep quiet when she should speak up. She’ll tolerate the bare minimum and be so grateful that it was given.

And the scary part?
She’ll think it’s her fault when things go wrong and try to fix relationships that isn't good for her.

Loving yourself means learning to receive love that matches your value, not your w0unds. It’s looking in the mirror and saying, “I am enough, with or without a man.”

And most of all, it’s knowing that being single is better than being mistreated.

2. The Battle Against Comparison

You scroll through Facebook and IG and see her. The soft life girl. The ring. The candlelight dinner. The captions: “My peace.” “The Odogwu of my life.” “The one that spoils me s!lly.”

And just like that, you feel behind. You start questioning your worth. You wonder if there’s something wrong with you.

You wonder why your own husband can't take you on vacation. You wonder why your own man doesn't pamper you like the other lady’s man.

Always remember that for every post that you see, you are not seeing the full picture of things. You only see what the person wants you to see.

Comparison is the stealer of joy. It forces you not to be content, and makes you underappreciate what you have because your eyes are on what you don't have.

Many ladies compare themselves with others. There is this hidden competition that makes you want to compare your man, possessions, marriage, and even life with others.

Even the Bible says that people who compare themselves with others are not wise. Your story and journey is different. Stop comparing.

3. The Battle Against Deception

The d£vil doesn’t come in red horns. He comes in fine suits, sweet words, and deep scriptures.

Deception is one of the biggest traps in modern dating. Many ladies fall, not because they’re weak, but because they want to believe the best. They are also driven by fantasy and this makes the lady an easy targ£t.

You meet a man who says all the right things:
“I’ve been praying for a woman like you…”
“I’m not like those other guys…”
“I’m ready for marriage…”

But talk is cheap. Character is not. Deception often hides behind charm, but if you will pay attention to character, you will be saved.

That’s why emotional intelligence and spiritual discernment are non-negotiable. You must test the spirit, not just the vibe you feel. You must question the patterns, not just the potential.

So sis, win these three battles not for a man, but for you. Because when you win within, the external will match up.

I WOULD HAVE BEEN A MEMBER IN THIS CHURCH IF I HAD STAYED IN THE US

- Bishop David Oyedepo

Bishop David Oyedepo speaking on Obedience at the Day 3 Encounter Night of the Easter Faith Convention mentioned how he would have lost his place as the Apostle over the Liberation Commission. He also stated that he currently has no regret about being in Nigeria.

He said, "Precious people, just imagine that I got hooked on to the US and decided to stay there on my own. I might be a member of this Church now because there is no wasted crown in the Kingdom. You lose it, somebody else takes it. You better mind God and mind His instructions. You don't have a future without God. I said 'why is nothing happening in Kumasi?' God said 'I'm not there' The anointing was there oh, the calling was there, but God was not there. Six years, nothing was happening. People can be somewhere where God is not for 20 years and nothing is happening. You won't miss God! Do I have a regret now for being in Nigeria? Never! You won't miss your place."

Bishop Oyedepo had an opportunity to relocate to the US in 1987, but he declined the offer in obedience to God. He also stated that raw Obedience has brought the Commission to its present position.

THE PROFOUND SIGNIFICANT OF EASTER: A CELEBRATION OF REDEMPTION AND RENEWAL!

Easter, a joyous and sacred celebration observed by millions worldwide, holds profound significance that extends beyond the festive traditions and merriment. At its core, Easter represents the pivotal events of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, symbolizing the ultimate triumph of life over death and light over darkness.

The narrative of Easter is rooted in the Christian faith, where Jesus Christ, the Son of God, willingly surrendered to crucifixion, bearing the weight of humanity's sins. His death on the cross signified the ultimate sacrifice, providing redemption for all who would believe in Him. The resurrection of Jesus on the third day, as documented in the New Testament, stands as a testament to His divine power and the promise of eternal life.

The symbolism embedded in the Easter story speaks directly to the human condition. The death of Jesus represents the death to sin, an acknowledgment of the imperfections and transgressions that separate us from a holy God. Through faith in Christ, believers are called to a life of repentance and spiritual rebirth, symbolically dying to sin and embracing a path of righteousness.

The resurrection of Jesus embodies the promise of new life and the hope that believers can live a sinless life through the empowerment of Christ. It signifies the victory over sin and death, offering believers the assurance of forgiveness and the strength to pursue a life that honors God. This transformative journey is central to the Christian faith, encouraging believers to reflect on their spiritual walk and renew their commitment to living according to Christ's teachings.

As Christians celebrate Easter, they are reminded of the profound love and grace extended to humanity through Jesus Christ. The season invites introspection, gratitude, and a renewed focus on spiritual growth. It serves as a powerful reminder that, through faith, believers can experience the joy of salvation and the peace that comes from knowing they are forgiven and loved.

In essence, Easter is not just a celebration of past events but a living testament to the enduring hope and redemption found in Jesus Christ. It calls believers to embrace the fullness of life in Christ, to live out their faith with purpose, and to share the message of hope and redemption with a world in need.
