New Podcast Episode: Staying Close to Jesus



Dear friend,


I hope you're ok. So many things fight for our attention and our hearts. Even the things God has called us to do: take care of our families, ministry work, our jobs...these things can slowly encroach on the intimacy we have with Him.


In this podcast episode, I share what God has shown and told me about why it's so important to stay close to Jesus. And why we can never let the work make us forget or give up time with the One who gave it to us.


Speaking from my own life, it's Yeshua, Jesus, who is my song. Everything I do comes out of Him. On the days I forget that and let the busy-ness of life take over, I feel lost and all of a sudden feel the weight of everything He was holding.


It reminds me of the verses from John 15:4-5


"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."


This is an invitation from the Shepherd. To Abide in Him. He wants us to be with Him because He loves us and knows having our hearts in His is how we can do this life.


I love this version of Abide With Me that Audrey Assad sings. My favorite part:


I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless,


ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.


Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?


I triumph still, if thou abide with me.



Whatever you're going through, please know, you're never alone when you have Jesus.


You can listen to the podcast episode on Apple, Spotify or using the link below. I also share a visitation experience I had in which Jesus asked me to keep my eyes on Him when I was in a terrible storm of life.


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.
