A desire that God placed in your heart can quickly turn into idolatry if it is not stewarded properly and if God is not truly at the centre. This was my case. I was so eager to get married that I viewed some of the men I met as potential husbands, causing me to ignore certain warning signs. When I did not see marriage coming from those situations, I forced the relationships. I compromised, and I’m sure the men could sense that desperation. It was foolish, because firstly, I d

In Daniel chapter 4, God gives King Nebuchadnezzar a disturbing dream. We can see immediately that he is operating as a prodigal because he is seeking interpretation everywhere except from the Holy Spirit. If he had the Holy Spirit, he would have been able to discern what the dream meant, but instead, he turned to magicians, astrologers, and wise men of the world. Yet even in his rebellion, God is still speaking to him. This dream was a warning. God warns prodigals before jud

These were the words I heard audibly, spoken in a stern voice, one morning as I was waking up. I don’t know whether I was fully awake or caught somewhere between, like Paul described when he said he did not know whether he was in the body or out of it (2 Corinthians 12:2). What I do know is that I immediately understood who the words were about, and panic set in. My first thought was that my spouse had died. I began to wail uncontrollably. I contacted him immediately, asking

I am a dreamer, and I have always had dreams that require discernment and prayer to understand. Many of the dreams I had during my marriage restoration seasons were about my Husband. Early in our marriage, sleep became something I feared because God would often show me, through dreams, my husband entertaining women outside of our marriage. Time and time again, what I saw in the spirit would later manifest in the natural. When my Husband and I separated, the dreams increased.

There is a season of preparation, and preparation does not look the same for everyone. It can look different depending on your spouse’s needs, your family situation, and what God is calling you to steward in this season. But through the standing, through the warfare, through the trials, the fight, the heartbreak, the training, and the prayers in the night, God is preparing you. We see this in Scripture. Ruth was prepared for twelve months before she met King Xerxes, which sug

A prodigal is someone who has gone astray from God and His ways, his truth. Scripture tells us, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” This tells us that before we came into this world, before our Heavenly Father formed us in the womb, He already knew us spiritually. I was once a prodigal, and maybe you are now. When people hear the word prodigal, they usually think of the story in the Bible, and yes, that is exactly what I mean. No, I didn’t exactly wish to eat the p

I look back at some of the relationships I stayed in, and I can see now why I kept going back even after years of heartbreak. Years of knowing it was hurting me, yet still returning. Part of it was a soul tie, yes, but if I’m honest, not knowing my worth or my identity played a huge role. I didn’t respect my body because I didn’t understand its value. Think about a diamond for a moment. If you didn’t know what it was, if it just looked like a dusty rock, you might ignore it,

Do you 'know' your God? I recall reading in Genesis about Adam knowing his wife Eve, and she conceived. I always wondered why the word "knew" was used instead of "lay with" or other terms like those used in the story of David and Bathsheba. However, this is more than just physical intimacy. Knowing is about becoming one with your person. God desires for us to be one with Him first before we become one with our spouse. God's original plan for marriage on earth is to reflect th

The Genesis season is all about the beginning of a love story. When I think of Genesis, I think of Adam and Eve. God looked at Adam and said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him”  (Genesis 2:18). Out of Adam’s rib, He created Eve. Imagine a God so good that while he puts the man to sleep, he creates a beautiful woman, perfect for Adam's needs. They both knew one another, and they both walked with God. It is such a beautiful picture

Introduction to the 7 seasons

Repentance is a way of life. To repent means turning away from sin and turning towards God.  It is not about condemnation or shame but about being real with Him and allowing His Spirit to reshape us. The Holy Spirit often brings memories to my mind, to reflect on throughout the course of the day. It could be a careless word, my tone, or to please people more than I please God. When that nudge comes, I try not to ignore it; I repent. The Holy Spirit gently brings things to th

The word narcissism  never appears in Scripture. It’s a modern psychological term used to describe people who are excessively self-focused, manipulative, and lacking empathy, among other traits. Psychologists call it a personality disorder, but the Bible described this kind of behaviour thousands of years ago. Everything begins in the spirit before it shows up in the physical. We are spiritual beings living in temporary bodies made of dust. What the world now labels “narcissi

Where it all began I am Victoria, but most people call me Vicky. I have been on an incredible journey of finding God, discovering truth, and stepping into my purpose. I always knew I was called to more. After graduating, I felt the pull of destiny but could not find fulfilment in anything. Even going to university was a struggle, and I have to admit I did not enjoy it. I studied HR because I knew I was called to people. I loved organising events, hosting, training, and teach

During my stance for marriage, I have had many dreams, but one dream kept coming back, and for a long time, I couldn’t find the interpretation. In the dream, I was getting my hair braided. I told the mysterious braider to stop braiding my hair, and as I got up, she tried to harm me with her scissors. I fought back, and the next thing I knew, she was being escorted down the stairs and out of the building before she could retaliate. (THANK YOU JESUS!) I had seen this hair-braid
