- [Warring with Oppositions (Taking What Belongs to You)](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/warring-with-oppositions-taking-what-belongs-to-you/): For everyone on earth, there are things we need to do at each point in our lives, and one of such things is to war against oppositions in order to access what belongs to us in Christ. So many people are in bondage/captivity. Some have been so beaten by the enemy, while others remain stagnated. This includes believers. God has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness, but we have to take responsibility by doing something about it. Don’t just wait for things to come to you, because one is likely to wait forever. We are to act. Let […]
- [Your Environment Does Not Define You](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/your-environment-does-not-define-you/): We should know that even though we live in an environment full of darkness, evil doings, ups and downs, we can choose to or not to be defined by it. Poverty seems like the standard. Sickness, including various forms of terminal illnesses such as cancer, has become normal. This is not normal at all. This is an abnormal way of living. What Is the Normal Way of Living? First of all, our content should determine our environment and not the other way round. What do I mean? You are the light of the world, a city set on a hill that […]
- [The Gift of Love: Basis for Everything in the Kingdom of God](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/the-gift-of-love-basis-for-everything-in-the-kingdom-of-god/): Love is a powerful virtue, though subtle, but very strong. There are various forms of love, but the one of interest in this post is Agape love. This love is way above the natural and superior. No mortal man has custody of this type of love, but it is given to us by our Heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit. “The love of God is shared abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost.” (Romans 5:5) Characteristics of Love 1 Corinthians 13:4–8 gives us some of the characteristics of love: Other things may fail, but love never fails, and love is […]
- [When It Feels Like It’s You Against the World](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/when-it-feels-like-its-you-against-the-world/): The Story of Miranda Miranda was a popular lady in her community. She loved meeting people and enjoyed other people’s company. She was more of an extrovert. As a result of this, she had many people she called friends. She didn't pay much attention to those who were true friends and those who just did it because of her status. Then an incident occurred. One of her so-called friends impersonated her to commit fraud. When investigations were done, it was believed that Miranda was the culprit. Miranda kept pleading not guilty, but nobody was believing her. Before she was sent to […]
- [The Supernatural: What Really Is Faith?](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/the-supernatural-what-really-is-faith/): Supernatural We have heard a number of people say, “I have faith for this and that.” What really is faith? Hebrews 11:1 gives us the raw definition of faith. NIV Version:“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” New Living Translation Version:“Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” We are spiritual beings and are able to live on earth with our natural bodies. Faith is not a physical force but a spiritual force that produces physical results. This makes faith more […]
- [Necessary Ingredients of Faith](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/necessary-ingredients-of-faith/): In the last post I wrote on faith, I spoke about salvation, i.e., accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, as being very important. I will write further on the others in this post. Firstly, it is important to remind ourselves of what faith is. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith and Hope Faith and hope are not the same thing. Faith cannot be substituted for hope, but they both need to be present for the proper effect to take place. Hope is about expecting something even though you may not see […]
- [The Evidence of Faith](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/the-evidence-of-faith/): If faith had no evidence, people would not be interested in it. Those who apply the rules of faith appropriately will always get results. Smith Wigglesworth once said that there is something about faith that makes God pass a million people just to get to one person. This is how essential faith is. Benefits of Faith Faith makes one untouchable. It puts you above all situations and circumstances of life and makes you experience the supernatural every day of your life. Faith makes one a genuine Ambassador of Christ. Experiences of Faith We should understand that a walk with God is […]
- [Illustration of Faith with Respect to Mentality and Declaration](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/illustration-of-faith-with-respect-to-mentality-and-declaration/): This post is about having the right mentality and declaration for faith to work. A lot has been said about faith in the previous posts, such as defining faith. Also, other substances to be added to our faith in order for it to work, reasons why faith may not be working in people’s lives, and the benefits of faith. Putting these into practice will make one live differently from the way others are living. Let me come down to the practicals of faith. For something to function perfectly, you need to understand the principles guiding it. The same goes for spiritual […]
- [What Lesson Did You Learn from a Trial?](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/what-lesson-did-you-learn-from-a-trial/): Trial periods are periods to learn. There was a point in my life where I went through a series of tests and trials at a close range. I began to wonder if I was the only person going through such, which definitely I’m not. People were just picking on me, using me as a scapegoat even though I was innocent most of the time. The duration between these tests was so close that it became a thing of concern to me. I later understood that sometimes these tests are very important to develop some virtues that lie dormant in you. If […]
- [Deal with the Source and Not the Symptoms](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/deal-with-the-source-and-not-the-symptoms/): Once the source is dealt with, every other symptom will disappear. This post is about dealing with the source. First and foremost, what do I mean by the source? A source could be an origin or foundation of something. This can be linked to various areas of our lives, such as health, business, careers, relationships with people, etc. A source is the root cause of something, which can either be good or bad. When your source is from God, everything shows the light of God around you. But when it is of the devil, struggling and difficulty become one's identity. In […]
- [Fear, the Weapon of the Devil](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/fear-the-weapon-of-the-devil/): Fear, as some people will say, is false evidence appearing real. In such cases, you will be seeing or hearing things happening, but the line between such things coming to pass or not is very thin. Faith is what makes an evil deed not come to pass, while fear makes evil occurrences happen. One could then say that fear is the opposite of faith. In previous posts, I have written about how strong faith is and the benefits that come with having strong faith. In this world, we fight battles, and each of these battles is spiritual. As written in previous […]
- [Where Do We Run to with COVID-19?](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/where-do-we-run-to-with-covid-19/): “The Lord God in the midst of thee is mighty.” Before the onset of COVID-19, the human race was quite busy. Busy going to work, shopping, travelling, being in a hurry to get things done. Many didn’t have time for God. They were too busy working. The number of evil occurrences happening in the world multiplied in every country. Seeking God became a thing of inconvenience. Sin became normal, and those who were not indulging in sin were seen as being weird or abnormal by others. Kidnapping, homosexuality, murder, and all manner of sin became very common among youths and those […]
- [Do You Know Your Benefits in Redemption II](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/do-you-know-your-benefits-in-redemption-ii/): I will continue from the last post on knowing your benefits in redemption. In the last post, I wrote about wisdom and longevity, knowing how beneficial they can be to our lives when they are being applied well. This post will be about who we are and who God sees us as. God spoke to Abraham in Genesis 13:15 that as far as his eyes could see, He would give it to him and his descendants. A number of people are limited in life and destiny, not because some evil people are after them, but because they are scared to dream […]
- [The Relationship Between Praise and Coronavirus](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/the-relationship-between-praise-and-coronavirus/): My fellow comrades, I didn’t know that I would be writing a post today, but I was quickened by the Spirit of God to write this. There have been a lot of disheartening things happening across the nations of the earth. More countries are affected than others, with some places taking more of the disease burden than others. People in places with little effect barely understand what hard-hit places are going through—not being able to see loved ones again, not being able to tell them goodbye. My dear colleagues and fellow health workers on the forefront, battling this evil virus, I […]
- [Stop Making Excuses for Bad Choices](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/stop-making-excuses-for-bad-choices/): At an early age, as little children, we didn't know much about making good or bad choices. We had a common ground and common opportunity of fulfilling our destiny in life, regardless of the situation or circumstance surrounding our birth. As life went on, things began to change. We started seeing things through the eyes of the world—some good, some bad. People started making decisions that would end up having repercussions in the future. Those who made bad choices, some of them were aware of the repercussions but believed, whatever happens, it will be in the future. For some such persons, […]
- [Making the Right Choice: Choose for Good Things to Follow You](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/making-the-right-choice-choose-for-good-things-to-follow-you/): Our outcome in life is a result of the choices we make. You choose what follows you, just as you choose your friends, clothes, shoes, etc. In the same way, we choose our path in life, either consciously or subconsciously. Among other things, I will be discussing three paths in life. First Category The first category is unbelievers who know that there is a God, but have various theories of who God may be and are more interested in what they can see here on earth. These sets of people go about their normal business. Whatever good thing they get is […]
- [Opening Your Heart to God in Prayers](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/opening-your-heart-to-god-in-prayers/): Prayer is how we communicate with our Heavenly Father. Prayer is a medium through which we seek the face of God for interventions in our lives. God has given us the gift of prayer to make things easier for us on earth, but many are not making full use of it. A number of people have complained that their prayers don't get answered. They do it just for religious sake. Imagine a person who prays to God and always receives answers from God. What relationship do you think such a person will end up having with God? A very healthy one, […]
- [Let No Mountain Obstruct Me, I Am Moving On](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/let-no-mountain-obstruct-me-i-am-moving-on/): Irrespective of the mountain or barrier trying to obstruct me, I am moving on. May this become someone's determination today. Great men are made from great stories. Many of the great men and women we love and respect have stories. Show me a great man and I will show you his scar. What consumed others, this group of people came out of it strong. Our reasoning and mentality have a lot to do with how well we fare in life. A man that has a mentality of being a failure cannot fare well in life, and such a person will not […]
- [Prosperity: Believe in Your God and You Will Prosper](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/prosperity-believe-in-your-god-and-you-will-prosper/): When one talks about prosperity, it is more than what money can buy. Prosperity involves areas such as health, finance, spirituality, mental well-being, and other areas one can think of. A man prospered by God has nothing bothering him because he knows the source of his wealth. A number of people who have gotten wealth from alternative sources don’t have peace of mind. Some can’t even sleep properly at night and believe people are after them. The prosperity gotten from God is pure and would not need your peace in exchange. Rather, this prosperity comes with peace of mind. The difference […]
- [When You Know Your God](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/when-you-know-your-god/): Knowing your God and working with God has a lot of benefits. I will illustrate my point with the story of Damita. The Story of Damita Damita was known by everyone to be reserved and someone who loved to mind her business. She had things going easy for her, even in the midst of storms. Damita grew up in a Christian home and knew some things about God. She read the Bible stories and saw how God worked but never really had a personal encounter with Him. Damita came from an unsettled home. The tension in the house was high most […]
- [Patience: Missing Out as a Result of Impatience](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/patience-missing-out-as-a-result-of-impatience/): A number of people were very close to their breakthroughs but didn't have enough patience and, at the last minute, turned away. People are not usually patient enough to see that God answers prayers. Only if you had pressed a little bit longer, then you would have seen the hand of God. Delay is not denial. It only means that yours is coming in a special way. A number of people are not patient with God but want to help Him in hastening the process. This leads them to get less than what God has for them, and when something happens, […]
- [Understanding Your Benefit in Redemption](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/13/understanding-your-benefit-in-redemption/): Understanding our benefits in Christ makes us live an overcomer life. We should all be aware of the rules required in living a fulfilling life on earth. The difference between the rich and poor is the secret of understanding—not only understanding, but also applying it to your life. Using Feeding as an Example While carbohydrate is very important to humans, as it is a vital source of energy, you can’t compare one who feeds majorly on carbohydrate, with little or no addition of other classes of food such as vitamins, proteins, etc., to one who eats a balanced diet, especially with […]
- [Joy Cometh in the Morning](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/11/joy-cometh-in-the-morning/): After passing through the night of hardship and sorrow, it’s just normal for joy to show up in the morning because the Word of God says so. Your joy and my joy has come. It’s finally HERE. In the journey of life, there are trials and tests that we all go through, but this becomes abnormal when it is prolonged. We are told in the Word of God that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5). When this is not the case, then something has gone wrong. In most cases, it’s the devil prolonging […]
- [When You Put Your Hands to the Plow, Don’t Look Back](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/11/when-you-put-your-hands-to-the-plow-dont-look-back/): It is inevitable that challenges will come. What we do about it is what differentiates us from others. Many times as we journey through life, we start on a good note. All of a sudden, something happens that makes us want to give up. In life, you keep going (moving) irrespective of the obstacle that may come your way. These challenges/ obstacles differ from person to person. It is always important to remember that it’s not abnormal to be challenged but it’s abnormal to be defeated. Also, challenges are meant to last for a short period of time and not one’s […]
- [My Greener Pastures](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/11/my-greener-pastures/): Everyone wants a greener pasture. This story is about two friends. Mike and John are friends who attended the same university and studied the same course. Mike finished with a second class lower while John finished with a second class upper. Graduating from the university, they were both excited and a bit nervous about what life will bring their way. “Only God knows the end of a thing from the beginning,” John said. John was known to be more religious than Mike and would always invite Mike for church meetings. In most cases, Mike will come up with excuses not to […]
- [Let Your Light Shine in the Midst of Your Enemies](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/04/let-your-light-shine-in-the-midst-of-your-enemies/): “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” — Psalm 23:5, KJV “The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.” — Psalm 110:2, KJV These two powerful Bible passages point to an important truth: we can rule and thrive even in the midst of opposition and the appearance of evil. Regardless of the arrows the enemy may shoot at us or the evil plans that may be formed against us, we are more than conquerors […]
- [God Is Good Despite the Darkness: Trusting God in a Dark World](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/09/04/god-is-good-despite-the-darkness-trusting-god-in-a-dark-world/): Even in this dark world, God remains good and faithful. The world around us may appear increasingly dark, but the character of God has not changed. He remains our Father, our protector, our refuge, and our source of light. The Bible says: “Have respect to the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the haunts of cruelty.” — Psalm 74:20, NKJV This Bible verse is quite deep, and we may not fully understand it until our spiritual senses become open to what is really happening around us. Understanding the Darkness Around Us It is not a mistake […]
- [What the Word of God Says About Grief: Finding Hope in Christ](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/28/what-the-word-of-god-says-about-grief-finding-hope-in-christ/): What Does the Bible Say About Grief? Grief is a deeply human experience. When we lose someone we love, the pain can feel overwhelming. We may cry, feel lonely, ask difficult questions, and wonder how we will continue without the person who meant so much to us. For believers in Christ, however, grief is not something we are expected to deny or hide. The Bible acknowledges the reality of sorrow while pointing us toward a greater hope. Christianity does not teach us that we should never cry because we have faith. Instead, Scripture shows us that we can grieve while still […]
- [Understanding Grief: How to Cope With Loss and Begin Healing](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/28/understanding-grief-how-to-cope-with-loss-and-begin-healing/): Grief is one of the most painful experiences we can go through as human beings. Whether you have lost a loved one, ended an important relationship, lost a job, experienced a major life change, or faced another significant loss, grief can affect almost every part of your life. You may feel sad one moment and angry the next. You may struggle to sleep, lose interest in things you once enjoyed, or find yourself thinking constantly about what you have lost. If you are grieving, it is important to remember this: there is no single "right" way to grieve. Grief is personal. […]
- [The Power of Reflection in Your Walk With God: Finding Peace and Purpose](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/18/the-power-of-reflection-in-your-walk-with-god-finding-peace-and-purpose/): Walking with Jesus and being led by the Spirit of God through the journey of life is an interesting experience. Life is not always predictable. There are seasons of rising and seasons of falling. There are moments when everything seems sweet and other times when we have to swallow the bitter pill of difficult circumstances. The Christian journey is not always smooth. However, one thing that can help us grow stronger and become more stable in our walk with God is reflection. Reflection allows us to look back at what we have experienced, identify the lessons God was teaching us, and […]
- [Who Should You Partner With: God or Evil? Choosing God's Way](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/18/who-should-you-partner-with-god-or-evil-choosing-gods-way/): "Choose you this day whom ye will serve." — Joshua 24:15 Every day, we make choices. Some choices seem small and insignificant, while others can completely change the direction of our lives. One of the most important choices we will ever make is who we choose to partner with—God or evil. The Bible presents two opposing kingdoms: the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness. The kingdom of God is the kingdom of light, truth, righteousness, and life. The kingdom of darkness represents rebellion against God, deception, destruction, and ultimately death. The choice may seem obvious, yet many people are […]
- [How to Respond to Spiritual Attacks: Focus on the Source, Not the Symptoms](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/05/how-to-respond-to-spiritual-attacks-focus-on-the-source-not-the-symptoms/): Introduction Every believer will face seasons of trials, opposition, and spiritual attacks. Sometimes these attacks come through difficult circumstances. Other times, they come through people who seem determined to provoke, discourage, or hinder us. Our natural response is often to fight back, defend ourselves, or focus all our attention on the individuals involved. But Scripture teaches us something different. The real battle is not against people. The real battle is spiritual. When we understand the true source of the attack, we stop wasting energy fighting the wrong enemy and begin using the weapons God has given us to overcome. The Real […]
- [Focus on Your God-Given Assignment: Stop Comparing and Start Living Your Purpose](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/05/focus-on-your-god-given-assignment-stop-comparing-and-start-living-your-purpose/): Introduction In today's fast-paced world, it is easy to become distracted by what others are doing. Social media, career success, financial achievements, and personal milestones can tempt us to compare our lives with those around us. Yet God has not called us to imitate everyone else's journey. He has called each of us to fulfill our own God-given assignment. To focus means giving your full attention to something important. As believers, our greatest assignment is to discover God's purpose for our lives and faithfully accomplish it. The question is not whether someone else's assignment looks more impressive than yours. The question […]
- [Divine Direction and the Right Location: Why Being Where God Wants You Matters](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/05/divine-direction-and-the-right-location-why-being-where-god-wants-you-matters/): Introduction Have you ever wondered why some people seem to flourish wherever they go, while others struggle despite working hard, praying faithfully, and pursuing good opportunities? One important answer may be divine direction. As believers, we often make plans for our future—where to live, where to work, what career to pursue, or where to build a family. While planning is wise, Scripture reminds us that God's plans are always higher than our own (Isaiah 55:8–9). One area where God's guidance is especially important is our location. Being in the right place at the right time can open doors that no human […]
- [Biblical Boundaries: Knowing When to Show Respect and When to Stand Firm](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/05/biblical-boundaries-knowing-when-to-show-respect-and-when-to-stand-firm/): Introduction Respect is one of the virtues God expects every believer to demonstrate. We are called to honor one another, love our neighbors, and live in peace whenever possible. However, many Christians struggle to distinguish between showing respect and allowing manipulation. Some mistakenly believe that setting boundaries, confronting harmful behavior, or walking away from destructive relationships is disrespectful or unloving. The truth is that biblical respect should never come at the expense of obedience to God or your spiritual well-being. There is a time to show kindness, and there is also a time to stand firm against anything that seeks to […]
- [The Cost of Disobedience: How Delayed Obedience Can Block God's Blessings](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/05/the-cost-of-disobedience-how-delayed-obedience-can-block-gods-blessings/): Introduction Have you ever prayed fervently for something, only to feel as though God was silent? Have you ever wondered why your prayers seemed unanswered despite fasting, seeking God, and doing what you believed was right? Sometimes, the issue is not that God isn't listening. Sometimes, the answer lies in our obedience. Obedience is one of the greatest tests of the Christian life. It often determines whether we experience God's best or unnecessary struggles. One of the hardest lessons I have learned is that partial obedience is still disobedience, and disobedience always comes with a price. Let me share a personal […]
- [Stop Judging by Appearance: What the Bible Really Teaches About Accepting People](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/04/stop-judging-by-appearance-what-the-bible-really-teaches-about-accepting-people/): "Do not judge a book by its cover." It is a saying most of us have heard countless times. Yet, many of us—including Christians—still fall into the habit of judging people based on their outward appearance. The truth is, if God judged people the way we often do, many of the greatest men and women He used throughout history might never have fulfilled their calling. Thankfully, God looks beyond appearances. He looks at the heart. God Sees the Heart, Not the Appearance Human beings naturally notice what they can see. We pay attention to clothing, hairstyles, tattoos, social status, speech, and […]
- [You Have Already Overcome: Trusting God's Plan When Life Doesn't Make Sense](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/04/you-have-already-overcome-trusting-gods-plan-when-life-doesnt-make-sense/): Have you ever found yourself wondering whether God has forgotten you? You prayed. You believed. You obeyed. Yet nothing seemed to happen the way you expected. If you've ever been there, take heart. You have already overcome. Even if your current situation doesn't look like victory, God has already determined the outcome. What Does It Mean to Overcome? To overcome means to be victorious over something. Victory usually comes with joy, celebration, and relief. But in the Kingdom of God, victory often begins long before we can see it. Jesus said: "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! […]
- [Why You Should Stop Making Excuses and Start Living Your God-Given Purpose](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/04/why-you-should-stop-making-excuses-and-start-living-your-god-given-purpose/): Excuses are easy to make. Most of us have valid reasons for delaying a decision, avoiding a challenge, or refusing to step into something new. Sometimes those reasons seem completely genuine. But here's the question: Do your excuses move you closer to your purpose, or further away from it? If an excuse adds no value to your life or keeps you from becoming who God created you to be, then it is time to let it go. Today, let's look at why we need to stop making excuses—especially when it comes to fulfilling our God-given purpose. Everyone Has a Unique Purpose […]
- [Humility Before God: Why Deeper Encounters with God Produce True Humility](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/04/humility-before-god-why-deeper-encounters-with-god-produce-true-humility/): One of the greatest virtues a Christian can develop is humility before God. Alongside patience, humility is essential if we want to live a life that pleases God and fulfills His purpose for us. Unfortunately, humility is one of the most misunderstood virtues today. Many people judge humility by outward appearance, but God looks much deeper—He looks at the heart. What Does True Humility Mean? People define humility in different ways. Some people openly display pride. They constantly remind others of what they have done for them, saying things like, "If not for me, you wouldn't have..." They give generously, but […]
- [How to Worship God from the Heart: A Simple Guide to Genuine Worship](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/04/how-to-worship-god-from-the-heart-a-simple-guide-to-genuine-worship/): Have you ever wondered what it truly means to worship God from the heart? Many people think worship is simply singing songs, clapping during church services, or saying, "Thank You, Lord." While these are important expressions of worship, true worship goes much deeper. It is reflected in the way we live, the choices we make, and the attitude of our hearts. Your lifestyle is one of the greatest acts of worship you can offer to God. Worship Is More Than Singing Worship is not limited to music or thanksgiving. It is a daily expression of love, obedience, and surrender to God. […]
- [Showing Mercy to Those Who Hurt You: Choosing Forgiveness and Trusting God's Justice](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/02/showing-mercy-to-those-who-hurt-you-choosing-forgiveness-and-trusting-gods-justice/): Showing mercy is one of the most beautiful expressions of God's character, yet it is also one of the hardest commands for us to obey. When we receive God's mercy, we rejoice because we know we do not deserve it. We are grateful that He forgives our sins, restores us, and gives us another chance. But when someone hurts us deeply and asks for mercy, our natural response is often very different. We want justice. We want revenge. We want them to experience the same pain they caused us. That is human nature. However, God's way is different. He calls us […]
- [Finding Peace in Frustration: God's Path to Purpose, Precision, and Peace](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/02/finding-peace-in-frustration-gods-path-to-purpose-precision-and-peace/): Frustration is one of life's most painful experiences. It is that feeling of disappointment that comes when your expectations are repeatedly blocked, delayed, or unmet. Imagine investing heavily in a business with the hope of making a good profit, only to lose everything. Imagine working tirelessly for years without seeing the results you expected. These experiences have driven some people into depression, homelessness, and even fraudulent activities. While these reactions are never justified, they reveal just how destructive frustration can become when it is not properly handled. The truth is simple: Nobody wants to experience frustration because it has nothing good […]
- [The Period of Transition: Trusting God When Life Doesn't Go as Planned](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/02/the-period-of-transition-trusting-god-when-life-doesnt-go-as-planned/): There are moments in life when everything seems to come to a standstill. Your plans don't work out, doors unexpectedly close, and the future becomes uncertain. These seasons can leave you feeling confused, frustrated, and even forgotten. Yet, what if these difficult moments are not signs that God has abandoned you, but evidence that He is preparing you for something greater? This is what I call the period of transition. What Is the Period of Transition? A transition is the period between where you are coming from and where God is taking you. It is the bridge between one season of life […]
- [The Blessing of Continuity: Why Consistency Leads to God's Best](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/02/the-blessing-of-continuity-why-consistency-leads-to-gods-best/): "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9 One of the greatest secrets to success in every area of life is continuity. Many people start well, but only a few remain consistent long enough to enjoy the full reward of their labour. Whether it is in our relationship with God, our careers, businesses, education, marriages, or personal growth, consistency is what separates temporary success from lasting impact. A Lesson from Nature Imagine a piece of land covered with tall grass. When the […]
- [The Gold in Going the Extra Mile During Hard Times](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/02/the-gold-in-going-the-extra-mile-during-hard-times/): I'm"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9 Gold is one of the most precious and valuable minerals in the world. It is rare, highly sought after, and people are willing to pay enormous sums of money to acquire it. Whenever gold is discovered, it is carefully protected and diligently mined because everyone understands its worth. In many ways, life is like that. Hidden within life's experiences are priceless treasures—principles and secrets that many people overlook. Those who discover and apply these […]
- [Life Is a Journey: Trusting God's Timing Through Every Season](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/01/life-is-a-journey-trusting-gods-timing-through-every-season/): "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." — Ecclesiastes 3:1 Life means different things to different people. Some define life by what they have experienced, while others define it by where they are today. Regardless of how we describe it, one truth remains: life is a journey—a journey filled with different seasons, unexpected turns, valuable lessons, and opportunities to grow closer to God. Over the years, I have come to understand a few important truths about life that have changed the way I view my own journey. Life Is Temporary and Passes Quickly One […]
- [I am a Christian, what does it really mean?](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/01/i-am-a-christian-what-does-it-really-mean/): Many people call themselves Christians, but what does it really mean to be a Christian? As a young girl in boarding school, attending church every Sunday was mandatory. I knew that if I didn't go, I would feel guilty, as though I had committed a serious sin. Even when I wasn't expecting to learn much, I still went because attendance was required. During the sermon, many students would fall asleep. Somehow, sleep seemed contagious. Yet, when it was time for praise and worship, everyone suddenly became energetic. On only a few occasions—especially when guest speakers ministered—did I truly sense God's presence. […]
- [When God Tells You to Do Something That Doesn't Make Sense](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/01/when-god-tells-you-to-do-something-that-doesnt-make-sense/): "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." — Proverbs 3:5 Following God: Walking with God requires faith—faith to hear His voice, trust His instructions, and follow His direction even when it doesn't make sense. In a world filled with distractions, noise, successes, failures, and endless opinions, it is essential to spend quiet time with God every day. It is in those quiet moments that He speaks, gives direction, and reveals His will. The more time you spend with God, the more familiar you become with His voice. As your relationship with Him grows, […]
- [The Gold in the Garden: Finding God's Light in Your Darkest Moments](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/01/the-gold-in-the-garden-finding-gods-light-in-your-darkest-moments/): "Those who look to Him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed." — Psalm 34:5 Life is full of ups and downs. People come, and people go, but one thing remains constant—the Light of God. "Holy Spirit, use me as Your vessel. Let there be less of me and more of You. As You speak, let me write according to Your revelation. May these words bring hope to every heart that reads them." The Bible reminds us: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter […]
- [Are Children of God Meant to Suffer?](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/08/01/are-children-of-god-meant-to-suffer/): Many people have wondered why faithful Christians experience difficulties in their careers, marriages, finances, health, or other areas of life. Questions such as "Isn't he a child of God?" or "Doesn't she have God's protection? Why is she going through so much hardship?" are common. The Bible provides clear answers to these questions, and there is no better time to reflect on them than during Easter, when we remember the suffering, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Is Our Greatest Example In Matthew 26:38–39 (ESV), Jesus prayed before His crucifixion: "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death... […]
- [Acknowledge God's Blessings | The Power of Gratitude](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/06/25/acknowledge-gods-blessings-the-power-of-gratitude/): Bible Text: Proverbs 3:5–6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." — Proverbs 3:5–6 Have You Taken Time to Count Your Blessings? In today's fast-paced world, it is easy to focus on what we don't have instead of appreciating what God has already done. Many people spend more time praying for the next breakthrough than thanking God for the previous one. One powerful key to living a victorious Christian life is learning to acknowledge God's blessings. Gratitude is more than saying […]
- [Life Is Beautiful: Make the Most of Every Opportunity](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/06/25/life-is-beautiful-make-the-most-of-every-opportunity/): Life is a beautiful gift, and every day presents a new opportunity to grow, learn, and become the person you were created to be. The way we experience life often depends on the meaning we give to it. While parents, relatives, circumstances, and past experiences may influence our journey, they do not have the final say over our future. Ultimately, the direction of your life is determined by the choices you make and the actions you take. Different Paths People Take in Life As we observe the lives of others, we often see three common patterns: 1. Those Who Drift Through […]
- [7 signs you truly love yourself](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/06/25/7-signs-you-truly-love-yourself/): "Love is as strong as death." — Song of Solomon 8:6 Love is one of the most powerful forces in life. While we often focus on loving others, many people overlook an important truth: you must learn to love yourself before you can truly love others. Self-love is not selfishness. It is recognizing your value, treating yourself with respect, and taking responsibility for your growth and well-being. Signs That You Truly Love Yourself Here are some practical ways to know that you have healthy self-love: 1. You Take Responsibility for Your Life You work towards independence and do not rely entirely […]
- [How to Discover God's Purpose for Your Life](https://oluchicrafts.com/2026/06/25/how-to-discover-gods-purpose-for-your-life/): Have you ever wondered why you are here? Have you ever asked yourself, "What is God's purpose for my life?" One of the most important truths we can understand is that we did not create ourselves. We were created by God, and every person was placed on earth for a unique purpose. As Scripture reminds us: "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?" — Jeremiah 32:27 God created each of us intentionally and has a specific assignment for our lives. Our responsibility is to discover that purpose, remain faithful to it, […]
