Choosing God's Truth


Dear friend,


Before I knew God, my truth was shaped by culture, headlines, and the passions and affections of my own heart. I felt right, so wasn't I?


Turns out, I wasn't. It only took a bit of research to see that many of my ideas were not only flimsy, but I was feeding right into the hand of agendas I couldn't have imaged.


When God first started to speak to me and give me dreams, what He said often didn't make sense. It would contradict what I saw with my eyes and felt in my heart.


One of the first times was during the pandemic. He gave me the most vivid dream and specific instructions that earned me a lot of harsh criticism from pepole I cared about, but in the end...He was right.


"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord


-Isaiah 55:8


After the first few times of God proving Himself right, I began to realize that maybe I didn't know it all.


God's truth isn't subject to public opinion. It is independent and soverign. Every human being has to decide for themselves whether they will seek after it and make it their ultimate authority.


In a world where we're taught to "follow our hearts" and "do as we see best" choosing Divine wisdom is a revolutionary, set-apart act.


Whose truth will you choose? In this episode, I share with you how to choose God's every time.

Low-Sugar Easy Yellow Cake Recipe


Here's the simple Low-Sugar Yellow Cake recipe I promised. It's from the recipe website, Jenny Can Cook. It has only nine ingredients (I added salt) and takes 40 minutes start to finish making it a really simple dessert you can make on a weeknight.


The recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar but says you can also use 2/3 of a cup. I used 2/3 of a cup which makes it just sweet enough. I made it this afternoon so I'd have something on hand to give my kids as a treat and my husband could have a dessert to take to make a long work day more pleasant.


You could serve it alongside raspberries, Nutella, bananas...anything. It's really versatile. It rises enough for you to slice it into two layers for a birthday cake.

Also, this is the first blog post where I'm also sharing my home life! I used to feel like I had to keep them separate and had two blogs, but funnily enough, I received a word about ending compartmentalization (lol) and knew it was for me.


I like to keep all the parts of my life in neat little boxes far apart from each other, but that's coming to an end. <3 Hope your family enjoys the cake and you enjoy the podcast episode.


love, Bunmi

How Staying Focused Keeps You Afloat

Untitled design.jpg

In the last post I wrote about how in the story of Nehemiah, two men called Sanballat and Tobiah were instantly disturbed by Nehemiah's plan to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 

 

Then they laughed and accused Nehemiah of doing wrong. Nehemiah didn't fight them or go on a tirade defending himself. His answer to his newly formed panel of agitators was to state his unmoving faith in God. Even as they spread falsehoods against Nehemiah, he prevailed. How? He kept his eyes on the One who had given him his project. Focus will keep you on track and even in joy as you work. Keep reading.

Rejecting Every False Prophecy/Curse & Choosing God's Vision

When Sanballat and his buddies realized he could not attack Nehemiah's body, they tried to attack his mind with accusations. When they realized the attacks on the mind did not work, they tried to attack his spirit by having him come into physical agreement with false prophecy of imminent attack and death ("they will come and kill you").

What has been falsely prophesied over your work? That it's not a good time to start? That the economy isn't good enough? That no one will like your work? That it will fail? That you're not the one to do it? The enemy cannot physically make you stop but he will try to discourage and discredit you. Come out of agreement with any false prophetic word and come into agreement God's sight for your project. Keep reading.
