Consistency – Our personal welcome note to you


Let me begin this short piece by welcoming you to a new year, may this year be the year of the fulfillment of the greatest desires of your heart, and may the Lord Almighty cause you to ride on your high places. I am aware that you have received some heavy prophetic declarations for the year and now you expect to be propelled by the power of those prophetic words to experience a higher life this year.

To take it a little further, in addition to the prophetic words that you have received, it is what you do daily beginning from today that will determine whether you will truly experience the higher life or not. As they say, the secrets of great men are hid in their daily routine. You need to ask your self what your daily routine will be in order to experience a higher life. You cannot do the same things you have been doing in previous years and expect to get a different result this year. If you have not been getting the kind of results you desire in life, then the time to make the adjustments is now. It is great to have a prophetic word, it will propel you into the year, but your daily routine will sustain your momentum on your journey. This is why many people can receive heavy prophetic declarations and still end up empty handed. It isn’t as if the words spoken over them did not work, it is that they did nothing on their own to sustain the momentum and give expression to the prophetic words. Don’t sit waiting for the conditions to be perfect before you begin to make your move. The four lepers in the Bible at the gate of Samaria did not wait for the perfect conditions. They realized that if they continued to do things the same way then death was imminent, so they decided to do things differently. They were consistent in their move, it is very possible that they may have even contemplated aborting their journey while still on the way, but they never turned back.

You may begin the year on a high note and somewhere along the year, you loose steam and contemplate aborting, I encourage you never to abort, rather dig in and refuse to give up. When it seems like the storms are beating hard and you can’t even row forward, let your anchor hold but never abort, you will certainly make it to the other side. Be consistent in seeking revelation, be consistent in prayers, be consistent in following the leading of the Holy Spirit, be consistent with your personal development plan, be consistent in pursuing your goals; whatever happens don’t abort. Even when everything seems dark, and doubt and fear seems to be setting in, just hold on there. It is only with this type of commitment that you will ever make a meaning out of the year and out of life generally. Remember that life will not give you what you deserve but what you demand. Your time has started counting already, make the best use of it.


See you on the other end of the year.

With Love,
Ola & Kemi Folorunso

Find Your Place and Stay There

Like a bird that wanders from its nest is a man who wanders from his place. Prov.27:8 (NIV) One of the greatest advantages you can have in life is to find your place early and stay there. The challenges of life come to us all, but you may just find it so overwhelming when you are not in your place, as compared to the person who has found their place. I am sure that you have come across one or two persons in life who excel and have an utter sense of fulfilment in what they do in life. It doesn’t have to be really big sometimes, but you can tell that they are in their place, where they should actually be. You may also have come across some persons whom you will consider clear misfits where they are, and in what they do. The latter set of people are most likely not to be prospering as they should, or I should say, they have potential to prosper more, if they find their place and stay there. The same is true about your life. Sometimes you need to take a step back and ask yourself if you ar...

Two Things to Avoid to be Prosperous

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. Prov.18:9 (KJV) In my last piece, I talked about the importance of finding your place, and staying there to command God’s Blessing. I emphasized the importance of staying power in whatever God has called you to do or committed to your hands. In this piece, I will seek to drive the conversation further, talking about two wrong attitudes that will greatly hinder the Blessing of God from finding expression in your life. Our text says the slothful is brother to a great waster, this is a very dangerous company indeed, and always a disaster waiting to happen. These two characters can never prosper and attain God’s highest Blessing. You may be working hard and making mistakes, but you must keep at it because, the man who tries and make mistakes will command the Blessing far more than the man who is slothful. God hates laziness! Laziness can disguise in many ways; a person can be spiritually lazy, and that...

Updated: Don’t Bind the Brook, Don’t Rebuke the Ravens - Simple Lesson in Obedience

  Over the years I have come to understand the place of simple obedience to the instructions of God, and the huge difference it could make in one’s life. I have also come to see how easy believers can be in disobedience, yet be able to cover up with some form of spiritual activity, then in the end attempt to pass on the responsibility for their failures on God.   This can possibly account for one of the biggest reasons why there are believers who seem not to be making progress in life in spite of their seeming spirituality. The situation is even more compounded when older believers who should set the example for younger believers fall into this group. The implication is that there will be a generation of young believers who cannot seem to find the proper alignment between the Christian faith and being productive in life.   The story of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 17, clearly illustrates my point.  The Word of the Lord had come to the prophet to camp by the bro...
