🌍 We’re Back

There’s a scene in Coming to America that always grabs my attention. Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and Lisa are walking to dinner when Akeem stops and hands two homeless men a wad of cash. He calls it “a little pocket change.”

The men look at the money, stunned. Then, without hesitation, they exclaim:

“We’re back!”

Those weren’t just words of excitement—they were words of identity and restoration. These men knew immediately what that moment meant: they weren’t just given money, they were restored to their purpose.

đź’ˇ That’s what blessing looks like.

In Genesis 1:27–28, after God created man in His image, it says:

“Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion…’”

Notice the sequence:

  1. Identity – made in His image.

  2. Blessing – empowered by God.

  3. Commission – sent to carry out the task.

The true blessing is not a thing—it’s the empowerment to fulfill your God-given purpose. Money, opportunities, open doors—those are resources. But blessing is when you’re aligned with God’s image and ready to act in your commission.

That scene reminds me of what I hope for in my own life: to be so prepared, so aligned, that when God releases the blessing, I can respond like those men—without hesitation, without fumbling, without delay.

👉🏾 Ready to say with confidence: “I’m back.”

Because the blessing isn’t about getting something. It’s about being restored to who you were made to be, and stepping into fruitfulness, multiplication, replenishment, subduing, and dominion—exactly what you were created for.

And when God blesses, you won’t have to wonder what to do next. You’ll already know.

You Are Mine

There are few things more powerful than being seen —truly, deeply seen. And there are few words more affirming than the ones God speaks in Isaiah 43:1: “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.” This verse hits with the force of a knockout punch. It’s God stepping in and declaring: “I don’t care what you’ve been through. I don’t care what name you’ve answered to. I don’t care what’s tried to claim you—I ALREADY DID. YOU. ARE. MINE.” Let’s break it down. Jacob vs. Israel: Who You Were vs. Who You’ve Become God doesn’t just call one name in this verse—He calls two. Jacob and Israel. This isn’t accidental; this is intentional. 🔹 Jacob (Ya‘aqov - ×™ַעֲקֹב) means supplanter, deceiver, heel-grabber. Jacob was the struggler, the one who grasped at what wasn’t his, the man who schemed his way through life. His name was tied to his flaws, his past, his reputati...

Breaking the Lock and Key: A Call to Transformation

  1. Introduction: The Invisible Chains of Conformity “Do not be conformed to the image of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). This verse is not just a spiritual call—it’s a radical challenge to every system that seeks to mold us into something we’re not. Conformity, whether to cultural norms or religious rules, often feels inevitable. Yet, it can trap us in a cycle of dependency, where access to fulfillment, purpose, or salvation seems locked away by those in power. But there is another way. Transformation through the renewing of the mind is the antidote to conformity—a pathway to reclaiming the freedom Christ offers. To break free, we must recognize how the "lock and key" dynamic operates in the world around us. 2. The "Lock and Key" of Cultural Conformity The Chains of Expectation: From the moment we enter the world, we’re handed a script: achieve success, accumulate wealth, look perfect, and conform to society's defini...

Naturally

There’s a phrase that came to me one morning, somewhere between sleep and waking: "You got a natural on the way!" It landed in my spirit with excitement—like a whisper from Heaven. And the more I sat with it, the more I realized it wasn’t just a random phrase. It was a confirmation. I’ve been in pursuit of purpose for most of my life. But if I’m honest, that pursuit was often desperate—striving to prove something, misusing the very talents I was naturally given in an effort to make a name for myself. And while serving time for that pursuit, I discovered things in me that no one taught me. Insights. Truths. Talents, that just came naturally. Then it hit me: that’s the point. Genesis 1:26–28 tells us we were made in the image of God. Before the fall. Before religion. Before shame. We were blessed. And that blessing wasn’t ornamental—it was functional. It was meant to activate our design: Be fruitful Multiply Replenish the earth Subdue it Have dominion We weren’t made to strugg...
