NATIONAL AGATHA DAY!

Today is my birthday and am so grateful  to God for the gift of life. One year older, one year bolder. Following my birthday bliss am just blessed! Happy birthday to me. It has been purely God, I have relied on Him; He brought me forth out of  my mothers womb. I will forever praise HIM. 

On birthdays it is always a perfect time to reflect, to reflect on a year that has been and the year that you have just began. Like the many of you, I have so much that I achieved in the past 1 year and Moreso more that that I dint achieve, I had dreams of what would take place on the course of the
year but it didn't actualize. I was and am still hungry for more.

On my birthday today am reflecting on Matthew 4 which talks about the temptation of Jesus.
Kindly note  when  the temptation came. Jesus was tired, hungry, alone and coming off a spiritual high of just being baptized. He was at the beginning of launching His ministry.

The Devil knew that Jesus was hungry for food since he was fasting and he tempted him with food. Today am reminded that one gets tempted with what you are hungry for especially when your are in the beginning of something just like its the beginning of my new age today. Let me pause here and ask you, what are you hungry for? Some are hungry for breaking forth, others to get married, others to get children, to get visas, to have a big business/big position/big ministry, others are hungry for fame. Whatever you are hungry for that an opening and an invitation for the devil to tempt you. In the same way, many times we face temptations when we are physically stressed (hungry or tired), when we are alone.

The main agenda for temptation for what you are hungry for is to make you feel like God is not good enough to give you or he will take forever before he can give you. This welcomes the second temptation which is trying to prove a point. You may be trying to prove a good point but still you have fallen into this temptation, Jesus would have proven the point that God meant exactly what he said  when he said that when you fall his angels will carry you. Don't you think this would have made Jesus an instant celebrity? The whole world would have known that their is a man who jumped  from a cliff but instead of breaking his bones angels of His God carried him through and none of his bones broke. Jesus refused. Beloved, you don't have to prove any point, you don't have to prove that you are anointed, you are blessed, you are prayerful. God in his own wisdom will prove you that you are his and you are called to show forth his mighty.
Proving a point will always lead you to the third and major temptation which is worshipping other gods, I have seen people who can do anything to be famous, I have seen people who can do anything to be rich.....
Worshipping other gods is not always worshipping the devil, sometimes is worshiping what you have or what you don't have, sometimes its worshiping people whom we think that if meet them our lives will automatically change.

So what the cure of this, am reminded to watch out what am hungry for, because something must feed the hunger. When you are '' hungry''  be vulnerable before God and let him know you are hungry for this and this. You don't have to apply make up on your situation or your hunger before God. Appear before HIM with your blackheads, pimples, dark circles, Be open, and Him being the good Father he is he will fill your hunger in a way only  HIM can  . He is the promise and the fulfilment and when the time is right, promise keeper will bring it to pass at ease( Isaiah 60:22). Till then I will keep hope  against hope alive just as Abraham did.(Romans 4:18)

Today being my birthday I pray and speak to myself  Psalms 27:4  One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple.37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord Agatha, and he will give you the desires of your heart. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Happy reading,
Yours Truly,
Birthday girl,
Agatha M

IN YOUR DECISION!

 Letters to the Leader I’m Becoming  Happy 2026! Delete the number of your ‘Toxic’ boyfriend /girlfriend now. Go Cold turkey! As simple as this statement is, it carries great leadership lessons in it. Some decisions in life cannot be negotiated. They cannot be phased in. They cannot be softened. Some decisions require cold turkey leadership. You don’t slowly stop entertaining what drains you. You stop. You don’t gradually exit environments that keep you small. You leave. You don’t keep rehearsing the same complaints and call it honesty. You change the script. And the uncomfortable truth I keep learning: Complaining may feel like release, but it rarely builds respect. It doesn’t make you magnetic. It doesn’t move you forward. It simply keeps you familiar with what you already hate. Leadership ,in life, in career, in relationships ,is the courage to accept this: The power to change is usually already in your hands. Not in a committee. Not in the next season. Not in someone els...

 Put a frog into a vessel fill with water and start heating the water. As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjust its body temperature accordingly.  The frog keeps adjusting its body temperature with the increasing temperature of the water. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore. At this point the frog decides to jump out. The frog tries to jump but it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature. Very soon the frog dies. What killed the frog? Think about it! I know many of us will say the boiling water. But the truth about what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when to jump out.  We all need to adjust with people & situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust & when we need to move on. There are times when we need to face the situation and take appropriate actions. If we allow people to exploit us physically, emoti...

A year ago a young girl( Ivy) was laid to rest,killed by  young man( Kinuthia). How sad!  We may call it crimes of passion,matters of the heart,slay queens problem or even demonic. The truth is we  lost both of them,one  died the other one might spend the rest of his life in jail. What can we equate to human life? Money or time?I can imagine how humilated Kinuthia dad was as he was asking for forgiveness on behalf of his son. Two families mourned ,Ivy family and Kinuthia family,two fathers  mourned, one cannot believe her daughter is dead the other cannot believe his son is murderer,two mothers mourned one cannot believe a fruit of her womb was killed,the other one cannot believe  fruit of her womb was a killer. So are they the blame as the parents? Or is Ivy and Kinuthia entirely the blame? Or who is the blame? Before we point out fingers,We are all victims,either we are parents or parents to be, married,in a relationship or looking forward to be in one.On...
