  DEMAND AND SUPPLY 🙌 I remembered how the voice of my Economics teacher echoes during lectures- “...human needs are insatiable, the higher the demand the higher the supply, law of diminishing returns states that…and many other things, bla blah blah!🥰 So, when the Preacher read this verse out during his sermon, I pondered on the law of demand and supply while reflecting on👇 "My God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." in Philippians 4:19 Then I Asked, Why is it that all our needs are not yet supplied, when we have this amazing promise? The answer I could figure out was- Probably we haven't demanded properly!👌 Because, so  often, we settle for less. We murmur and complain rather than boldly come before the throne of grace to demand for what we need. But the law of economics is clear - the higher the demand, the higher the supply. So, Why not make your demand by looking up to the hill's of heavenly storehouse by Asking, a...

Image by WHO CLOSING THE GAP: EMBRACING THE GIFT OF EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING BY JIMOH ELIZABETH OLUWASEYI  In the biblical narrative of Hannah, we see the profound bond between mother and child encapsulated in her determination to nurture Samuel before dedicating him to God.  Hannah understood the importance of fulfilling her maternal role, ensuring her son was fortified with the spiritual and physical nourishment that would sustain him.  Just as Hannah waited to nurture Samuel before his dedication, today's mothers are called to recognize the sanctity and significance of exclusive breastfeeding—a foundational act that honors the rights of every child to good nutrition. With the theme- “Closing The Gap: Breastfeeding Support for All” for the 2024 year's International Breastfeeding Week, the dialogue around exclusive breastfeeding gains urgency.  The WHO and UNICEF recommend that newborns should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life—an essential rig...
