Do you Desire a Better Way to Live?

I desire a better way; those were my thoughts when I encountered an incident in the environment of my first and second-grade classrooms.

The enemy hasn’t just developed strategies to infiltrate our surroundings; he has also created cultures that undermine our children. He understands that culture is shaped by people, so he plants seeds from an early age to destroy the future God has planned for them.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Matthew 19:14 (NIV)

Because of this open invitation to children, we can also apply it metaphorically — to childlike stages in our businesses, marriages, careers, or ministries. These vulnerable beginnings are where the enemy attempts to plant seeds of corruption.

It is through children that God shapes us into His image. We must regain childlike faith to fully receive God’s desires for our lives. Losing this innocence leads to a corrupted generation— one that God may eventually judge, just like in the days of Noah.

 In our African context, we often hear words of correction, advice, and struggle, but these matters go beyond the physical. We must return to the One who gave us our children, who planted those dreams and purposes in our hearts.

There is a better way to live.God has not only given us children (whether literal or symbolic), but He has also provided divine strategies to raise and protect them.

When we keep turning to God, the Giver of every good seed, we fulfill His command:  

“Be fruitful and multiply” — not just in number, but in righteousness, purpose, and legacy.

He covers when and where he sends.

There are two distinct events I have been involved in recently. Days before I accepted this job offer, I had a dream that I strangely couldn't understand. Additionally, there were instances in the work environment that, looking back, I can ultimately conclude were signs from God indicating that I should not work there. However, because I couldn't read the signs, I stepped into that position. Since God's plan for me did not include that specific place, I found myself easily caught in the enemy’s schemes and manipulations whenever they arose.

It is very easy for us to make choices and decisions on our own, but I have found that if we truly want to walk in the fullness of this scripture:

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalm 91:1, NKJV),

we must recognize that God has drafted every aspect of our lives within His almighty plan. His covering for us is so detailed that we can only find true safety when we align ourselves with His agenda—not just with what we think is right or best.

God desires to provide for our needs and guide us to live our best lives. Even though He is all-knowing, His protection is designed in such a way that we are fully covered only when we walk in His divine path. When we step out of alignment, even if His wings are extended toward us, our protection becomes limited, and we are left depending on His mercy.

Alignment is not for God’s benefit—it’s for ours. Every area of our lives—health, prosperity, fruitfulness, marital peace, career success, and even parenting—is connected to walking in sync with His will.

God’s covering is linked to our obedience and alignment—like a divine insurance package. As you go out today, seek God’s way above all else.

Have you found your victory chant?

I know this may sound cliché, but—have you found your victory chant?

I love praying. In the beginning, it felt like a task. But I discovered a life-changing hack: whenever I’m about to engage in prayer, I ask the Lord in that moment for the spirit of intercession. And suddenly, prayer stops feeling like a duty—it becomes a joy.

Recently, I discovered yet another life hack. There's a moment in our prayer journey when we begin to join the angels in raising a *chant*. It may be a sound of victory, praise, healing, or even just a sound in the spirit. But here’s the thing—whenever our spirit picks up that signal, it’s as though we've transcended this realm. At that point, we’re no longer simply making prayer requests—we’ve located the real place of prayer.

Have you found your victory sound?  

Have you found a chant that affirms your triumph over the strategies of darkness?

God doesn't want us to move in ignorance. He desires an army—men and women who respond swiftly to His call. Even if we don’t fully understand the intricacies of the warfare, we know this: the end of the battle is always marked by a victory chant.

I may be sick in bed, believing for healing—but yes, I am still raising a victory chant, because I have laid hold of it. So even in disappointment or seeming defeat, I can lift my voice—not in despair, but with a chant of victory.

Today—and for a while now—I’ve been singing this one line:  

"Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah is my song."

I declare that this very song, which has found a place in my spirit, will become your own victory chant too.

And just as God's word says:

A perfect Bible verse for your message is:

2 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV)

“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.”

Living in Tune with the Holy Spirit

 

There are moments in life when we must pause—not out of fear or anxiety, but in response to a gentle prompting within. Recently, I found myself doing just that: suddenly stopping everything I was doing. Not because anything was wrong, but because I felt led to be still and stay in tune with the movement of the Holy Spirit within me.

This intentional stillness has become a part of my daily rhythm. I pause occasionally during the day to reconnect, recalibrate, and ensure that my spirit remains aligned with His. In doing so, I’ve discovered a peace and rest that I have never found in people or places. I’ve come to cherish this communion deeply. While I hold respect for others, what I fear most is losing the intimacy of my relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever tried living by the discernment and guidance of the Spirit?

It puzzles me when people doubt the reality of Jesus or His resurrection, because the evidence of His life is all around us—and within us. Every promise He made is being fulfilled. He said He would not leave us as orphans, and He kept that promise through the gift of the Holy Spirit.

“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” — John 14:18

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.” — John 14:16–17

 His presence is not distant; it is near, dwelling within us. He has placed rivers of living water inside us, and we can only draw from them to the extent that we behold and embrace Christ.

Living in tune with the Holy Spirit is not an act of religious duty—it is an invitation into a better, fuller way of life.

There is beauty in this divine communion: where you speak and He responds—in words, impressions, and signs. As we learn to recognize His movement, He reveals Himself more and more. The Holy Spirit is not an abstract force. He is a Person—our Helper, our Counselor, and our Lord. He feels. And in moments of deep sensitivity, we can even sense what He feels.

I’ve found a better way to live. A life led by the Holy Spirit is not without storms, but it is never without help. With Him as my guide, I move forward with peace, audacity, confidence, and the assurance that I am never alone.
