Sometimes we find ourselves in circumstances we wish, hope, praise, pray and fast they go away, somehow – by the word or wand! I just had one of those moments now and when I calmed down, the word came.
Concerning Jesus, scripture says:
He had to go through Samaria on the way. John 4:4
On your way to destiny, there are places and things you must go through; encounters which are crucial and peculiar to your purpose. It might be painful but it’s needful.
David in one of his psalms said:
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.. Psalm 23:4
It might seem dark and cold and there is no warmth, way up or out. Perhaps you can hardly breathe and wondering if there’d be life after THIS. Yes, there is! Don’t give up, just keep going. Inhale. Exhale.
In another place, the sons of Korah said:
When they walk through the Valley of Baca (Weeping), it will become a place of refreshing springs. Psalm 84:6
‘Through’ seems to be a recurring theme in the texts and is indicative of the fact that whatever you are currently dealing with is
temporary, this too shall pass, you are simply in transition, going through, and soon will be out on the other side – your place of rest.
Your challenges are your building blocks and unique selling point. The very things that are trying to break you are the things that will MAKE you. Your valley will become a mountain – an elevated and refreshing place. Your weeping will turn into singing. A change is coming but in the meantime, just know IT is necessary.
Be encouraged.

John 2:
11 Jesus performed this miracle, the first of His signs, in Cana of Galilee. They did not know how this happened; but when the disciples and the servants witnessed this miracle, their faith blossomed.
This passage is one of those that teach about ‘change’ and its impact on the environment and people who’ve experienced it. How it happened, they couldn’t quite explain or deny the encounter. Thus will be your experience in the remainder of this year. What God will do in and through you, people will witness in wonder.
It is amazing how scripture also details this miracle resulted in the disciples’ faith blossoming. This implies that people’s belief in you or lack thereof depends on your certain performances and changes. Ever told someone you are millionaire and they took a good look at you from top–down? Likewise, Jesus probably told these guys he was a miracle-worker, healer, saviour, etc but until he did it, their faith in him was on a much lower level.
This year, may you stand up and out as an authentic specimen, reference and proof. If you need to buy a house, buy it; get a job, get it; have a child, have it; get married, do it!
Someone’s faith will blossom on your account! #hollaapraise

The LORD who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of THIS Philistine.” 1 Samuel 17:37
The older I get the more I learn that ALL my past experiences, challenges, and victories are valuable, although there are some, I wished I escaped, and others, relived.
When David was faced with a new situation, he recalled past victories….. 
He boldly and confidently testified. He was actually saying: I can win again because I have won before. Now, if you have ever overcome anything in life (which I am certain you have), you ought to face your present condition (this philistine) with the confidence and hope that it’ll be over soon!
What are you, you great mountain? Because of Zerubbabel you will become a level plain! Zechariah 4:7
Paws are paws and battles are battles though they may differ in sizes and stages. But I heard a word: You will win again because you have won before#hollaapraise
