Epiphanies Of Life

Recently, I came across some of my old journals where I had written down my goals for that year and I noticed that most of the things I had written down in one year were repeated in the next year's goals. That revealed the stagnation in my daily life. I repeatedly desired the same things year after year, but nothing materialised. I realised that something was wrong with my daily, weekly, monthly and yearly routines. I had to find new ways of actually working towards what I set out at the beginning of each year and start being productive. Otherwise, I will spend another year complaining about the same things and have nothing change.  Canva Template This year, I utilised the following in the hope that it will help me to better setup my 2026, as well as accomplish, all that I desire to accomplish.  Here are the 5 steps I took to better prepare myself for the year to come: 1. Seek God in what you want to accomplish. I realised that I had taken decisions on my own and then, once th...

Hi Loved Ones! It is that time again! The new and revised Epiphanies of Life 30-Day Gratitude Journal is coming soon. I received this journal from God in 2023 to create it as a product after the realisation that God had started this work in me in 2020 during Covid. I was gifted a journal, which is one of my favourite things to receive and I had to make a decision what to write in that journal. I have a lot of journals that are for different things. But this one, I clearly heard the prompting of the Holy Spirit saying, "What are you grateful for?" I started jotting it down, making a prayer request and intentionally wrote one request. I was amazed at how many things I had to be grateful for when I felt so down and depressed a minute ago. I had renewed hope in God and in knowing that everything was going to work out.  Over the years, as an Editor, a lot of people asked why I don't write books myself. I started exploring that space but I didn't want to write just for the ...

Once you have chosen a husband and have made a commitment and a covenant with him in front of God, you follow God's instructions on marriage and one of those instructions is to submit to your husband. I struggled with this for a while because I didn't understand the fullness of the kind of submission that is required and also because of internal issues that I had to deal with in order to fully submit to God and, in turn, my chosen husband. I enquired of the Lord and received the following epiphany. I hope it helps you in your walk of marriage. Cover his heart. The woman was created from the rib of a man, which is covering the man's heart. Without the covering, the heart is exposed. Without the covering his posture is distorted. Without the covering, his head that carries his kingship is compromised. The heart represents his vulnerabilities. A man hardly expresses his feelings, the heart contains them and the ribs protect the heart. He can be a king when you submit under him...

Acts 11:16 AMPC‬ "Then I recalled the declaration of the Lord, how He said, John indeed baptised with water, but you shall be baptised with (be placed in, introduced into) the Holy Spirit." Baptised with water means that we are submerged into and are completely taken over by water. Baptised with the Holy Spirit means that we are submerged into and are completely taken over by the Holy Spirit. There is no part of our existence that is outside of the Spirit of God. Scripture states that the Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. meaning that everything happens with Him and through Him. Therefore, we have to realise and accept in our minds just as we did in our spirits, that the Holy Spirit is part of who we are. There is no compromising that. Everything we do, feel, experience and say also affects Him. When compromise and negotiate God's will for the sake of being accepted by others or for whatever other reason we may give ourselves, we grieve the One closest to us. The...

The topic of today was inspired by Egypt Sherrod. She said these words as she was closing off a podcast that she hosts with her husband called Marriage and Money. Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. For years, I cried over friendships that ended that I wanted so badly to hold on to and then God gave me another "AHA moment". In order to get to the next level, there are some things, habits and/or people that you need distance yourself from or that God will distance you from, in order to get you where He wants you to be. Sometimes, we are so pre-occupied with those things, habits and/or people that we don't hear God's voice nudging us along the path that He has set us on. What this reveals is that isolation doesn't equal rejection. Sometimes, it actually equals elevation . I like how my friend Nolwandle so eloquently put it: I absolutely love how maturely she puts it. All that being said, I realised that people who have left my life were not necessarily rejectin...

From birth, along with memories and happy moments, we collect bruises and scars that more often than not, affect the way we choose to live our lives. These emotional injuries evoke different types of responses to different situations and circumstances. Healing and introspecting, I believe is the main thing that can turn generational scars that have plagued families, into generational blessings and powerful deliverance can take place within families, breaking the bondage of carrying the heaviness that comes with those scars and bruises.  What am I talking about? Well, my best example is always myself. Growing up, my mother used to tell us stories that revealed a lot about the scars that she carried. My mother could tell you the exact date when something happened that hurt her deeply and that would be an indication to me that even though she made a choice to move on, she hadn't really healed. As I got older, I noticed that I did the same. To this day, I can tell you exact situ...
