Underestimate Prayer?

A lot of arguments have risen due to the fact that Nigerians have been hashtagging #PrayforParis, saying that they haven't even taken time out to pray for their own country.

In my opinion Chris Travis says it all:
The problems in the world are so profound that our efforts seem futile. The world is broken. Wars and genocides are like a cancer that can't be beaten. Peace is short-lived - just a remission, really before the violence flares up again. The issues of poverty are so complicated that few agree even on how to help. Most scientists concur that climate shift is in progress, but there is almost no consensus on its causes or what we can do about it.

Honestly, if you are attempting to change the world in your own strength, there may be not much use.
You are probably thinking with so much suffering in the world, what could I possibly do about it? Or is it worth trying?
Despite that! You have a crucial part to play. God knows what He's doing, and He's working things out for the best. If you OFFER what you can, you'll be amazed at what He can use you to do. Don't underestimate Him.

The unfortunate thing is some people are not ready to play their part; a word of encouragement, a prayer for someone, or money contribution sounds 'too small to bother or it won't be missed if left undone'.
Its so tempting to underestimate the impact that we can have or the difference a particular deed can make.

Our tiny little offerings may just be a drop in the bucket - a drop in an ocean of need. One drop won't change the ocean but consider the ripple effect!

Don't doubt your contribution and don't underestimate Jesus!

So please Pray for Nigeria , Pray for Paris, just pray. And remember you have a role to play.
God bless you.


With love, theInspiredCutiee 

Emma Gonzalez

I am usually all for honesty; I wrote this piece for one the blogs I feature in, but apparently it couldn’t fly because it didn’t centre on an African, (which is good, we got to celebrate Africa). ‘No worries', I said to myself, 'I wrote it, Emma Gonzalez inspires me, so, ama share it here'… While valentine’s festivities for the year was in the air, students of Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida were experiencing the most memorable days of their youthful lives; a fellow student of the above named school went on a rage and killed seventeen people. Seventeen lives were lost because one unstable person had his hands on a weapon of destruction. This event is not just a traumatic one for those involved, but more of an uproar; come on, its rational for anyone in this situation to be livid. Having seen clips of the incident, watched the town hall meeting aired by CNN, read tributes, speeches, and the ever trending hashtags #WeCallBS #NotAgain, it’s amazi...

Welcome to March!

March in my opinion simply means purpose, when you march you are heading somewhere, it’s like a movement to something there, so, the Inspired Cutiee’s theme for this month is Purpose. March is the third month, the number three is also a very significant number; Jesus’s three days from crucifixion to death to resurrection, The Trinity of our faith, etc. For all I know, you probably have some symbolic attachment to the number three. PS: I want three children, hehe. I have so many plans laid out; I want to literally march to lose weight, I want to complete a project I’m working on then kick start the next, so many to enumerate… But again, I refuse to be overwhelmed, I have the best support system. This month is the best month yet! However, these are some tips for conquering this Third Purposeful Month: 1.      Always ask yourself why; Why am I doing whatever I am doing; because the answer to this why directs you to a goal/end (either negative or ...

Your Isaac

I always marvel at Abraham's faith. That man went through a lot. I ask myself if I'm capable of enduring one tenth of what he went through.. (Genesis 12 and 22) After waiting for years for a child, God eventually gave him one, and then God said he should sacrifice him.. Every time I read this passage (Genesis 22:2) I take a pause, I'm like 'hollup hollup, whatasay??'. I'm always like God please don't give me such a test oh; because I'll legit fail. 😖 Notice in Gensis 22:1; says 'After all this, God tested Abraham' (The Message). Its clearly says after all what Abraham went through God tested him, test is in past tense; meaning when Abraham was encountering such it wasn't a test for him. We read it now as a test; but for him it was life, real life! Not African Magic or Telemundo.. Lol. What's your Isaac I ask? It doesn't have to be your child.. Lol. It can be your time, your communion with God, or time with other belie...
