A woman has just given birth. Everybody is happy. Then suddenly, she starts bleeding. This is postpartum haemorrhage, and when it happens, no one has time to ask where the drug, tranexamic acid or TXA is. That drug, Tranexamic acid can help reduce deaths from bleeding when it is given early after PPH starts. So if a facility is providing emergency obstetric care, TXA should not be something they start looking for when the emergency has started. It should be there. As a man, if your wife is preparing to give birth, ask if the facility has TXA available. Same thing if you’re pregnant and preparing for delivery. Ask questions. Know what is available. Prepare before the emergency comes. RT so that expectant mothers and fathers can see this very important message. Source: Data, provided by @womenadvocate and @LSHTM.

I counted the cost. He was worth all of it. And He will be for you too. I won’t pretend it was free.  Following Jesus cost me things I can’t get back. Family relationships. Community. Safety.  The future that was handed to me. I counted every bit of that cost.  I’m not naive about what it means to walk this road. And I would pay it ten thousand times over. Because what I gained cannot be compared to what I lost. “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.” Philippians 3:8. Rubbish is how Paul described everything he gave up.  Not because those things had no value, but because Christ is worth so infinitely more that everything else looks like nothing beside Him. To the Muslim afraid of the cost: it’s real. I won’t lie to you. But on the other side of the cost is a Father who calls you His own, a Savior who calls you brother, and a home that can never be taken away. “Whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 16:25. I lost a lot. I found everything. And He is worth all of it.  Every bit. He will be for you too.

There was this woman in our area who stopped going to church. She said and i quote “Abeg, God dey everywhere. I can pray from my house.” And truly, she was right. God is everywhere. But one Sunday, her pastor decided to visit after service to know why she has not been coming to church. He didn’t come with any long talk he just sat with her outside, where she was roasting corn on a sunday morning 😆 After a while, the pastor used a stick to pull one burning charcoal out of the fire and left it on its own. At first, it was still red and hot, but after small time, it went black and cold. Then the pastor smiled and said, “That’s how it is when you stay away from other believers. Your fire go slowly die.” That day, she understood. Let me tell you, sometimes, it’s not that you don’t love God, your spirit just gets weak because you’ve been alone too long. When you go to church, it’s not just about hearing a sermon. It’s about catching fire again, through songs, through testimonies, through people who remind you that you’re not alone. So today, wear that outfit, carry your Bible, and go to church. Because when believers gather, strength multiplies. 🔥

Let me be honest. The story of Moses and the rock used to mean nothing to me as a Muslim. The people are dying of thirst in the desert. God tells Moses to strike a rock, and water pours out to save them. Exodus 17. Cool miracle. Moving on. That’s how I read it. Then I read what Paul wrote about it. “They drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:4. The rock was struck once, and life poured out for everyone dying. But here’s the part that wrecked me. Later, the people are thirsty AGAIN. And this time God says don’t strike it — just speak to it. Numbers 20:8. Moses strikes it anyway. And God is furious. It costs Moses the Promised Land. Why such a harsh punishment over hitting a rock twice? Because the Rock is only ever struck ONCE. Christ was struck one time for sin. After that, you don’t strike Him again. You just speak to Him. Moses broke the picture before anyone understood it. Islam handed me a water miracle. The Bible handed me the Rock that was struck so I’d never thirst again.

So I made a post about the Holy Spirit, being a great gist partner if you truly have a bonding with Him, and I got a lot of questions such as: How do I get to that point? I want this. Where do I start? I hope I can experience this someday. Now, here's your answer. I sincerely understand that yearning because I had the same questions at a time too. But here's something I've learned: you don't arrive there by chasing experiences. You arrive there by building friendship. Most of us meet the Holy Spirit only when we need something. Help me. Guide me. Open doors. Give me power. And there's nothing wrong with that. But every relationship grows when conversation moves beyond requests. Just like with a friend, intimacy is built in the ordinary moments. 1. Start with His Word The Holy Spirit speaks, but He is not separated from Scripture. Many people are waiting for audible voices while neglecting the Bible. Yet Jesus said: "When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth..." (John 16:13) And the truth He guides us into is revealed in God's Word. Read slowly. Meditate. Ask questions. Allow Him to teach you. Sometimes fellowship isn't spectacular. Sometimes it is simply one verse refusing to leave your heart all day. 2. Stop Making Prayer a Monologue Prayer is not just talking to God. It is communion. After speaking, remain. Listen. Reflect. Worship. Be quiet enough for your heart to become sensitive. Many of us end prayers too quickly. We rush out before the fellowship begins. 3. Give Him Ordinary Moments Not every encounter happens during a three-hour prayer meeting. Sometimes He interrupts your thoughts while you're working. Sometimes while driving. Sometimes while cooking. Sometimes through a burden to pray for someone. Friendship grows when you stop limiting Him to "prayer time" and begin involving Him in everyday life. 4. Obey the Little Promptings Sensitivity grows through obedience. When He nudges you to forgive, forgive. When He asks you to pray, pray. When He convicts you, respond. The more you honour His whispers, the more familiar His voice becomes. 5. Desire Him More Than What He Gives This is where many people stop. We want power. We want gifts. We want breakthroughs. But Moses prayed: "If Your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here." (Exodus 33:15) David prayed: "Take not Your Holy Spirit from me." (Psalm 51:11) Their greatest desire wasn't God's hand. It was God Himself. And that changes everything. And let me encourage anyone reading this: You don't have to become a spiritual giant overnight. Nobody suddenly wakes up and becomes deeply intimate with the Holy Spirit. Friendship is built. One day of prayer. One day of obedience. One day of fellowship. Then another. And another. Until one day, you realize that you're no longer trying to include Him in your life. You have become conscious that He has included you in His. And honestly, I believe that is one of the greatest victories a believer can ever experience. Not merely knowing that you want God, but discovering that God delights in your company too. "Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." 1 John 1:3 Because at the end of it all, the highest reward of walking with God is not power. It is partnership. Not gifts. But friendship. Not merely hearing from Him occasionally but living daily with the awareness that the Holy Spirit enjoys being with you.

Can I tell you one thing I've discovered in my walk with the Holy Spirit? Beyond being a guide, the Holy Spirit is the greatest conversation partner you'll ever have. In short, there is no gist partner like the Holy Spirit. The day you grow to the point where He comes to you for a chat, demands your attention, or interrupts your day because He wants fellowship with you, YOU HAVE WON FOR LIFE. Because beyond power, beyond gifts, beyond breakthroughs, nothing compares to being wanted by God Himself.

When I was Muslim, man, this verse used to mess me up. Jesus on the cross saying, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” As a Muslim, I used to think: how does God feel forsaken by God? That sounds like weakness. That sounds like a prophet in pain. But then I dug deeper. And I realized Jesus was not speaking randomly. He was quoting Psalm 22. That entire Psalm, written by King David centuries before Christ, is a prophecy about the crucifixion: “They pierce my hands and feet.” “They divide my garments among them.” “All who see me mock me.” In Jewish culture, quoting the first line of a Psalm pointed people to the entire passage. So Jesus was not crying out in confusion. He was declaring fulfillment. He was saying: “This is that.” And at the same time, He was carrying the full weight of sin, shame, abandonment, and suffering for humanity. Every moment humanity has cried out, “God, where are you?” Christ stepped into that pain Himself. That is not weakness. That is intentional. That is prophecy unfolding in real time. That is the King bleeding on purpose so humanity could be brought near to God. That is the Gospel.

Just read this beautiful story 😭❤ I live in a 12-unit apartment building. For two years, I didn't know a single neighbor. We'd pass in the hallway. Nod. Maybe say "hey." Then disappear into our separate lives. That was normal. That was city living. Then someone new moved into Unit 3. Her name was Diana. She was maybe 70, recently widowed, moving to be closer to her daughter. The first week, she knocked on every door in the building. "Hi, I'm Diana from Unit 3. Just wanted to introduce myself." Most people were polite but brief. We weren't used to this. But Diana didn't take the hint. The next week, she left a note in the lobby: "Building potluck. This Saturday. 6 PM. Bring whatever you want. Or just bring yourself." I almost didn't go. But Saturday came, and I could hear voices in the lobby. Five people showed up. Out of twelve units. We stood around awkwardly at first. Diana had made enough food for twenty people. "Just in case," she said, smiling. We talked. Actual conversations. Turned out the guy in Unit 7 was a musician. The woman in Unit 10 just had a baby. The couple in Unit 5 ran a bakery. We'd lived on top of each other for years and knew nothing about each other. Diana made it a monthly thing. Then someone suggested a building group chat. "For emergencies," they said. But it became more than that. "Anyone have a ladder I can borrow?" "I made too much soup. Anyone want some?" "Can someone feed my cat this weekend?" When the woman in Unit 10 had to go back to work, three neighbors offered to babysit. When the musician in Unit 7 had a gig, eight of us showed up to support him. When someone's car got towed, four people offered rides. Last month, Diana's daughter called me. Diana had fallen and was in the hospital—nothing serious, but she'd need help for a few weeks. We created a schedule. Someone brought her meals every day. Someone else took her to appointments. She cried when she came home and saw the system we'd built. "I just wanted to know my neighbors," she said. But she did more than that. She turned twelve strangers in separate boxes into a community that shows up for each other. All because she knocked on doors and refused to let us stay isolated.

I prophesy over everyone reading this: The drought of lack is over. The heavens are releasing gold and opportunity. You will not labor in vain — you will harvest with ease. The Lord says: “I am sending divine investors, divine ideas, and divine acceleration. I am filling your hands with more than you can hold.” Money will move in your direction. Favor will find your name. Debt will bow to destiny. Now declare aloud: 💬 “I live under open heavens. Wealth recognizes me. Increase follows me — in Jesus’ Name!” Type AMEN if this resonates in your spirit.

The Scripture says, “Put God in remembrance of what He said.” Find the promises that apply to your situation and thank Him that He’s bringing them to pass.

Your life doesn’t need to line up with anyone else’s You might not be married by 30. You might not have your dream job by 35. You might not have a family by 40. That doesn’t mean your life isn’t great Don’t let the pressure of "when" stop you from enjoying where you are now.

Committing our lives fully to God allows Him to work in and through us for His glory. What areas of your life do you need to surrender more fully to God? ”Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” —Romans 12:1 NIV

God’s favor is going to be on you in a greater way. Things you’ve struggled with in the past are not going to be a struggle anymore. Chains that have held you back are being broken. Strongholds that have kept you captive are coming down.

God will take what you have left, breathe on it, and it will multiply. When He favors you, when He vindicates you, when He restores you, the little will become much. New doors will open, opportunity will find you, the right people will show up.
