Oftentimes, we confuse what we truly NEED by our WANTS, but God doesn’t get into that manner of confusion when it’s time to bless us. God knows exactly all we need at every point in our lives though  he allows us to scramble & go after the things we think we need & then shows up with what he knows is best for us…I believe the reason he let’s us go for the things we think we need is so that that when he finally blesses us with what we truly need, we would without a doubt see the GOD Factor in it.

So sometime in December, I was scrolling through my Instagram feed and came across a makeup live video which also happens to be a giveaway at the same time. So, the idea for the giveaway is that every product used on the model would be given out to any of the viewers that first indicates that they want the product in their own shade. It wasn’t so much of a busy day and hey who doesn’t like a free makeup item (No girl ever said NO to a makeup item, even after all the buys, there would still be a shade or two to be added). So yes I tuned in to the page to watch the live video and for most of the product that was raised, I indicated that I wanted by typing the exact product mentioned in the comment section of the LIVE video (I did this even for items that I already have). By the end of the video, I was too sure I was going to win an item but not sure of which because I had showed interest in most of them but to be truthful, there was one item I genuinely need in my makeup bag.

By the time they announced the winners for each of the products, I won a concealer, when I heard that I laughed at first & my exact words were “God sure knows what we truly need”. On my recent trip to Abu Dhabi, I had shopped for lots of makeup items (literally everything) but didn’t buy a single concealer because for one I didn’t see the brand I was used & others were either too expensive or their reviews didn’t quite go well with me, I was planning to buy sometime before Christmas because a girl needs some popping brows & face (laughs). And here of all the products I indicated interest to win, God gave me what I truly needed (It may look or sound too little but I take count of every blessing and try to see the God Factor in it).

You may ask why did I have to indicate interest for almost every product that was raised, the answer is simple “I just wanted to WIN” it didn’t matter if I won what I didn’t have a need for, all other items may have fallen in the category of wants or just acquiring things because it is FREE.

Bringing this message back to it sole purpose, as we navigate our way through the New Year/ New Decade…it is normal for us to want to say YES to a lot of things, it is normal for us to want to try a lot of things & venture into different businesses but one thing I want you to know is that “God knows exactly what you Need” He knows exactly what you should do or be doing, he knows the people you need to keep close to in this season. While you are all about setting those BIG GOALS and stuffs, also inquire what is on the MIND of God for your life, seek him from the very start to direct you and lead you on the path to what you truly need so you don’t be like me and say YES TO ALMOST everything and chase/go after almost everything.

And if for any reason, you travel a path that seems like what you need and God steps to realign and restructure all of it, please do not struggle to remain on that path…yield to his instructions & watch him take all the GLORY in your life.

Never ever second guess God’s leading over your life…every day seven days a week, 24hours a day, God knows what you truly need because he cares for you (1Peter 5:7 Casting all your cares upon him; for he cares for you), your thoughts are in his mind every second of the day that is why he is called the Omniscience, the Omnipotent & the Omnipresent God…He knows & sees all things, he has the power to do & do, his presence is felt everywhere at the same time.

What you need is not always what you want but you can trust God to always give you what you need even if what God gives you might look different from what you had in mind, God always knows what’s best for you.

Always give thanks to God for giving you what you need even if you don’t realize that you need it.

PRAYER INTO 2020

Dear Lord, thank you for ushering me into this New Decade/New Year…It is a proof that you still have a need of me here on earth. Lord, though I might have failed you many times, but your endless love still shields me from damnation. Father chart my path in this new season of my life, help me to trust your leadings over my life even when it looks nothing close like I had envisioned. Help me Lord not to hold onto anything more than I hold onto you. Father for every point that I would miss my path, please Lord do not hesitate to put a pause on that wrong path and realign me to your will, help me Lord to consistently ABIDE in you and in your word even when the circumstance of compromise presents itself. You said those that trust in you will never be put to shame, father I am holding onto your world & I am fully trusting you. Dear Lord, take away anything (sin, habits, friendships, decisions) that would hinder me from fully manifesting and walking in my purpose in 2020 & beyond. Your blessings makes rich and adds no sorrow, any pursuit or blessing that would bring me damnation or cause me sorrow, please take it away ahead of time dear Lord. Give the courage to live fearlessly & walk in my purpose all the days of my in Jesus Name, AMEN.

Do you need someone to hold your hand, encourage you while you take a step to getting away from the noise?

Want to prayerfully seek him for alignment and realignment of your purpose?
