And in the Kingdom, the bedrock upon which every lasting blessing is built is:
1. FAITH -The Root of Divine Possibilities
Faith is the spiritual currency that pulls heaven into the earth.
When you believe God, you give Him permission to act.
Faith opens doors that labour alone cannot open.
“According to your faith be it unto you.” — Matthew 9:29
2. LOVE -The Proof of Kingdom Maturity
Love is the atmosphere where blessings grow.
It softens the heart, heals relationships, and attracts favour.
Prosperity cannot flourish in hatred, bitterness, or strife.
Love breaks cycles and releases supernatural increase.
“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” — 1 Corinthians 13:13
3. OBEDIENCE – The Highway to Covenant Blessing
Obedience is the action that completes faith. It is the step that turns instruction into manifestation. Every divine blessing is attached to an instruction, and obedience enforces the covenant of God’s favour.
“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.” — Isaiah 1:19
When these three foundations meet, prosperity becomes unstoppable.
1. Faith gives you access.
2. Love enlarges your capacity.
3. Obedience secures your inheritance.
Together, they form an unshakeable bedrock that storms cannot destroy.
“God’s Presence Is Your Natural Habitat.” Psalm 84:7
When you spend quality and consistent time with God, your life will take a remarkable turn.
In my mother’s dialect, there is a saying: “A bull retreats to regain strength.”
That truth has stayed with me for years. Retreat—what a powerful word. It perfectly describes what happens when we deliberately step back from the noise of life to meet with God. To enjoy renewed strength, we must embrace regular moments of retreat in His presence.
Ingredients for Renewal
1. Set a Specific Time for Fellowship With God. Not the family altar, this time is you alone with God.
He desires you in His presence.
Psalm 55:17
“Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.”
Choose a consistent time and guard it jealously. This is where transformation begins.
2. True Worship : John 4:23–24
“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth…
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
To worship in spirit and truth means:
Mean every song in your heart. Direct it intentionally to God. Imagine yourself standing before Him. Not lip worship—heart worship.
One of the easiest ways to retreat and regain strength is true worship.
When you come into that sacred space:
Receive cleansing. Forgive anyone who has hurt you. Ask for forgiveness for anything you may have done. Invite the Holy Spirit to help you worship beyond the surface.
Sing whatever song arises—hymns, choruses, psalms, meaning every word deeply as you release it to God.
3. Silence:The Secret of His Power
Psalm 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God…”
Silence is a spiritual technology.
In 2012, during a personal retreat, the Lord told me:
“Create for Me an atmosphere for miracles through worship.”
As we prepared for a program titled “Worship & Miracles, the Lord added:
“…in the moment of silence, I move; I touch with My healing hands.”
And He did.
People began sharing encounters they experienced in the silence, after the worship, when no more songs came, and we simply waited.
After worshipping for a while, you will reach a point where:
There is no more song The Spirit draws you into holy silence. In that moment, listen for His voice.
4. Document Everything
Whatever God reveals—visions, impressions, scriptures, whispers—write it down immediately.
Your journal becomes your spiritual evidence.
How to Start
Begin with simple daily prayer and reading of the Word. Set aside a separate 10–15 minutes daily for worship and fellowship. Then create monthly retreat times:
Suggested patterns:
12 midnight – 7 am, or 10 pm – 5 am, or A full weekend monthly or quarterly retreat.

Many have come to view marriage merely as a means to an end — a social requirement, a cultural expectation, or something to be preserved only for the sake of the children. But such thinking is a distortion of God’s original intent.
Marriage was never designed as a burden, nor as a trap to hold people hostage in unhappy circumstances. It is a covenant relationship, created by God Himself, to bring joy, purpose, and divine partnership between a man and a woman.
When God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him” (Genesis 2:18), He wasn’t simply creating companionship for emotional comfort — He was establishing a purposeful union. Marriage was meant to be a space where destiny and divine assignment meet agreement and support.
1. Marriage Solves Loneliness, Not Emptiness
Loneliness is not just the absence of people, but the absence of divine connection. God designed marriage to meet the need for companionship, understanding, and mutual strength. A spouse should not replace God in your heart, but should walk with you in the journey of faith, purpose, and growth.
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labour.” — Ecclesiastes 4:9
2. Marriage Is for Complementation, Not Competition
True marriage is the joining of strengths, not a battle of wills. Each partner brings something unique to the table — vision, wisdom, grace, and gifts — and together they create a balance that reflects the fullness of God’s image.
“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” — Amos 3:3
A godly marriage is therefore not about domination or control, but about agreement and unity of purpose. When both partners are aligned with God’s plan, their union becomes a channel for divine expression and influence.
3. Marriage Is for Purpose Fulfilment
Marriage multiplies destiny. When two people unite under God’s leadership, their impact increases — in ministry, in business, in parenting, and in every area of life. It’s not just about raising children, but about raising generations that carry light, legacy, and kingdom purpose.
Staying in marriage only because of children limits God’s vision for the relationship. Children are a blessing, but marriage is first a covenant between two people and their Creator. When the union reflects Christ’s love, the children naturally grow in an atmosphere of stability, faith, and purpose.
4. Marriage Is a Reflection of Christ and the Church
The ultimate goal of marriage is to mirror the relationship between Christ and His Bride, the Church (Ephesians 5:25–32). It is a love built on sacrifice, understanding, forgiveness, and faithfulness. It thrives on commitment, not convenience; on purpose, not pressure.
When marriage is redefined by God’s standard, it ceases to be a struggle and becomes a garden of growth, where both individuals are refined, strengthened, and empowered for kingdom exploits.
In Summary:
Marriage is not just about staying together it’s about growing together.
It’s not about children alone — it’s about purpose and partnership.
It’s not about endurance, it’s about divine collaboration for destiny.
When God is at the center, marriage becomes a force that transforms lives and generations.
“ Marriage is not a prison of obligation but a covenant of divine purpose.”

The Noble Frame — Deborah’s Attributes in a World Where Women Weren’t Recognized
By Olubunmi (aka Queen)
Heartbeat of God Publications
Scriptural Foundation
Judges 4:4, 7–9, 17–21, 23 and Judges 5:6–7 , 5:31b
Introduction
Even in an era when women’s voices were silenced, Deborah stood as light in a dim generation. She ruled with discernment, led with compassion, and judged with righteousness. Her existence was not an act of rebellion — it was a divine revelation that God’s anointing is not limited by gender or social expectation.
Her story is a mirror to every woman living in a world that still struggles to recognize her worth. Deborah’s life teaches that true strength begins with inner clarity — knowing who you are before God. That’s the noble frame — the posture of a woman who walks in divine worth and value even when society doesn’t see her.
1. The Noble Frame: Seeing as God Sees.
Deborah’s greatness began with how she saw herself. She didn’t define herself by her gender or the limits of her culture. She saw herself through God’s eyes as a vessel of purpose.
When a woman begins to see herself beyond the opinions of others, she begins to live above the ceilings they create.
2. The Deborah Attributes:
a. Wisdom and Discernment : She ruled from the palm tree of Deborah, settling disputes and bringing peace. Her words were seasoned with divine wisdom.
b. Courage and Leadership : When Barak hesitated, she said, “Up! For this is the day.” Her courage inspired a nation.
And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the Lord gone out before thee?”
(Judges 4:14)
c. Faith and Obedience — She trusted that God would go before her. Every noble woman must learn that faith is not passive — it’s active obedience.
d. Nurturing Strength — Deborah called herself “a mother in Israel.” True leadership is nurturing — it births, builds, and restores others.
3. Breaking the Circle of Silence
Every generation faces its own version of Sisera : oppression, fear, societal ceilings. Like Deborah and Jael, women today are called to break the circle — to end the cycles that silence purpose, paralyze vision, and bury identity.
The weapon may not be a tent nail, but wisdom, prayer, skill, and courage — the modern tools of victory. “It is like we are fighting in a war, but we do not use human weapons. Instead we use God’s weapons. Those weapons are powerful enough to destroy the enemy’s strong places. We use those weapons to destroy people’s wrong ideas.” 2 Corinthians 10:4 EASY
4. Restoring Dignity in a Dismissive World
When women rise in righteousness and grace, families heal, and communities prosper. The Deborah mantle still lives in every woman who chooses to lead with humility and strength — a woman of great worth, a covering for her world. “…….. After that, there was peace in Israel for 40 years.” Judges 5:31 EASY
A Call to Reflection
The world still needs Deborahs — women of discernment, courage, and wisdom.
May every woman rediscover her name, her voice, and her noble frame.
For this is the hour when Deborah must rise again not to compete, but to complete. Hallelujah.
Across generations, one pattern has stubbornly persisted—the subjugation of women. Though its forms evolve, its roots often remain the same: silencing voices, undervaluing worth, and defining women through the lens of limitation. It appears subtle in boardrooms where women’s ideas are echoed by others, and blatant in homes where their dreams are dismissed as unnecessary. Even in faith communities that celebrate progress, many still live under invisible ceilings built from centuries of conditioning.
Yet beneath the silence lies a divine spark—the awareness that woman was never an afterthought in creation but a reflection of God’s completeness. The Proverbs 31 woman embodies this truth: strong yet graceful, wise yet humble, industrious yet compassionate. She is a woman of great worth—a covering for her world.
When a woman awakens to this revelation, she rises not in rebellion but in restoration. She recognizes that her identity is not bestowed by culture or circumstance but by the Creator Himself.
1. Reclaiming Identity
Every woman must begin by rediscovering her original design. She was created in strength, wisdom, and beauty. Education, mentorship, and spiritual renewal become her tools of liberation. Knowing who you are precedes knowing what you can become. Her worth is not negotiable—it is divine.
2. Restoring Voice
Communities must create spaces where women can speak without fear of ridicule or repression. The Proverbs 31 woman “opens her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness.” Her words are life-giving. When women’s voices are restored, families find direction and nations find healing.
3. Redefining Fulfillment
True fulfillment is not found in imitation but in divine purpose. Every woman carries a unique seed—whether in nurturing homes, leading enterprises, teaching generations, or shaping policies. When she walks in purpose, she becomes light to her world and restorer of hope.
4. Rebuilding Systems
Lasting change requires structures that honor women’s God-given worth. Empowerment must move beyond slogans into systems—education, leadership, ministry, and governance—that lift women from the shadows into shared dominion.
A Call to Reflection
The subjugation of women is not merely a gender crisis—it is a distortion of creation’s balance.
When a woman rises, she restores harmony.
Let every woman rediscover her name, her strength, her grace.
Let her live again as a woman of great worth—God’s covering for her world.
“.., “Never again will fruit come from you.” And at once the fig tree withered. Matthew 21:18-20 AMP
I have come to realize that , there is no room for excuses, my life must make meaning all year round. Don’t sit still, let’s queue up with this powerful lessons and make a difference in our world.
Lessons from the cursed fig tree;
Fruitfulness is expected, regardless of circumstances.
We should maximize our skills, talents, and unique graces.
Servant leadership and soul winning are important aspects of being fruitful.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I receive grace to be fruitful all year round like the palm trees in Jesus name.
“…If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”
Healing and sound health are in the package of covenant relationship with God.
This scripture unveils the heart of God toward humanity: He is not the author of affliction, but the source of healing. God clearly distinguishes Himself from the plagues of Egypt and declares His identity“I am the Lord who heals you.”
Sickness is not God’s tool to teach lessons, punish sins, or refine character. The character of God is consistent: He restores, preserves, and renews. From Eden’s perfection to Christ’s healing ministry, Scripture reveals a God who values the wholeness of man—spirit, soul, and body.
When obedience aligns us with His will, we step into a flow of divine covering where health is sustained, strength is renewed, and peace governs the body. Healing is not an afterthought; it is a covenant provision.
Let this truth settle in your heart today:
God cares deeply about your health and wellbeing. God does not afflict His children. God heals, restores, and sustains life.
Confession:
I walk in divine health. I receive God’s healing power in my body. The Lord is my healer, and sickness has no dominion over me.
As we celebrate this holy season, we rejoice in the birth of Jesus Christ—the Light of the world and the greatest gift of all. May His peace rest upon your heart, His joy fill your home, and His love guide you into the coming year.
