“DON’T EXPECT ANYTHING SPECIAL FROM THIS WORLD” (REPOST)

But do expect God to give you more than you can ever ask or imagine! That’s my testimony, baby! I’m living a life that was designed by God Himself! I look back to the key moments of some significant decisions I’ve made through the years, and let me tell ya, God has been my Guide and Partner before I even developed this close relationship with Him. And this is why I try to be here every day sharing this GREAT NEWS that God’s invisible Presence is intimately involved in our lives. It’s just for us to learn His ways and walk with Him. I have a lot going on with hubby around, but this old post has some crucial info I hope you guys are picking about rolling with God and living your best life with Him as your first love and priority (Wink! Wink!).

“SO LET ME BE FOR REAL WITH YOU…”

To tell you about this remarkable friendship I’ve developed with God. That we all have UNLIMITED access to the Creator of the entire universe at every moment! His guidance has led my life on a gorgeous path where He EXCEEDS my expectations. I call it the sweet life with God!

So, every morning, I wake up to have an appointment with Him reading from our family’s website, werollwithgod.com. This morning I read about a conversation with a friend where I used the word SYNERGY. Minutes later, I go to have an appointment with God, and astonishingly, this very word “SYNERGY” shows up in my meditation book. And because I’ve gotten to know God so well, I knew this was all orchestrated by Him to give His girl here a tiny glimmer of His invisible Presence that is ALWAYS with us.

I’ve known this friend for over ten years now, and it’s a relationship that we’ve developed through spending time together. Not one moment has been wasted because her influence on my decisions has been extraordinary. She’s been this shining example of a person who has most importantly pointed me closer to God (The best kind of friend to have, by the way!). I’ve gotten to know her personality. I know her likes and her dislikes. And the same thing with God. I’ve developed a strong relationship with Him through having devoted alone times with Him and seeking Him continually throughout the day. I’ve learned His personality as well. But most vitally, I’ve learned His voice and HIS INFLUENCE on every decision I make is beyond human comprehension. You just have to experience it for yourself!

Incredibly, on a moment-by-moment basis, I can pick up on what He is saying to me. “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me,” is the Bible verse I run with. I’ve beautifully learned His voice, and I’VE WISELY LEARNED TO FOLLOW HIM! And I want everyone here with me, following THE BEST LEADER EVER: GOD.
Like yesterday, I was talking to one of my kids, and I importantly asked them, “What is God advising you to do?” I said how I’ve learned to listen to Him in my spirit, and feelings of doubt usually mean “don’t” from Him. If I think of going in a particular direction and I don’t feel peaceful about it, I know that’s God’s way of again saying, “Don’t do that!’ However, when I hash out doing something in my spirit with Him, and I feel peaceful, happy, and enthusiastic, then I know that’s His way of saying, “Yes, Nik, this is the way to go.” No peaceful feelings, no move! I stay put! Got all that?

In fact, I’m in a conversation with God all day. I constantly pray for His direction, clarity, and help to sort out any situation I’m facing. I continually receive His answers that are always coming to me through His whispers, nudges, cues, and thoughts that magically pop to mind as to what He would have us to do. This sheep KNOWS God’s voice!

He’s my Shepherd in this crazy world! My phone’s screensaver says, “Let me (God) be the meaning of your composure.” It’s my reminder that I can be calm, at peace, and joyful regardless of what is going on around me because God stands STRONG with me. He’s with you, too! Start making Him a priority and seeking Him first thing every morning, asking, “What do You have to say to me at this moment?” and continually throughout the day asking, “God, what would You have me to do here!’ I promise you, a life lived close to God is the best life! Don’t miss out! Our Shepherd always knows best, and He has great plans for our lives! Say this prayer with me, “God, I want a closer walk with You!’ Amen!

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH, BABY!!!

I can’t get over how I run to my God tree every morning feeling so overwhelmed, heavy, burdened, and anxious by everything I have on my plate to tackle these days. Yet, on my way back home, after having some alone time with God, I’m light, happy dancing, and filled with peace and God’s love. This is God’s invitation

“HOW???” was the critical question I was asked today on Facebook when I wrote that we should get to know God a little bit better every day. That “how?” is my assignment from God to teach you guys how I experience Him so that you would begin feeling His invisible Presence with you.

Like this morning, even with everything on my plate, I said I must finish my blog postings to my Facebook groups. I went to one of the groups, and someone asked in a post, “What’s the meaning of FATHER OF LIES?” I ended up discussing this with my son, Joshie, how the devil is the “Father of Lies.” Fast forward about an hour later, I’m under the God tree, and just using the scroll key to randomly select something to read from Jesus Calling (my fav meditation book!), asking God what He had to say to me, look what incredibly showed up:

“Remember that the evil one is the FATHER OF LIES (Wink! Wink!).”

God unbelievably got involved with that conversation!!! I call this a God wink when everything lines up a little bit too perfect to be some random coincidence, but God Himself revealing a glimmer of His invisible Presence. I freaked out feeling so loved and blown away by God’s personal attention to me. For all the posts for me to see on Facebook asking that peculiar question, to me just randomly scrolling and selecting this day of 365 days in this devotional, was everything aligning just too perfect. It was all orchestrated by God Himself to remind me that He is with me in every moment of my life. And He is with you too!!!

I loved another God wink after I wrote this in yesterday’s post:

“Like Moises (our business manager) had even abandoned me for a little bit, but now I thank him for leaving. If I’m honest, he was a crutch holding me up, and when he walked out, I had to learn to stand firm on my own. With hubby gone, that left me leaning on God and God alone, and let me tell ya, THERE IS NO PLACE I’LL RATHER BE. Moises and hubby leaving turned out to be the best thing! I’m going to new levels of closeness with God!!! I had to boss up and boss up fast!”

Fast forward two hours later, I decided to spend time with God while eating my dinner. I started at July 11 of the same devotional, Jesus Calling, written as if God is speaking to me. After writing that I was left LEANING ON GOD, look what God had to say to me:

“I WANT YOU TO LEAN ON (Wink! Wink!), trust, and be confident in Me. When you lean on Me for support, I delight in your trusting confidence.”

Again, this lined up too perfectly to be some ordinary coincidence. It was God AGAIN with a special message for His girl here, letting me know He is PERSOANLLY involved in my life! And this awareness of God’s Presence is what I want us all feeling! That we are not going through life alone. God gives us the love, joy, and peace to not just endure our lives, but enjoy them KNOWING HE IS BY OUR SIDE THROUGH EVERYTHING WE GO THROUGH. That’s faith baby!

But notice that both of these God winks came when I took time to ask God, “What do you have to say to me?” I was silent, and He spoke. So, that’s an essential part of the “HOW???” learning to spend alone times with God, seeking His face by reading or listening to anything spiritual. As you seek Him, trust me, you will find Him! A love out of this world! Don’t miss out! Our help comes from the Lord!!!

“WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW ME CRY SAD TEARS?”

That was me to my Julie yesterday after I teased her in the office about her crying recently (it turned out to be a good thing!)! I bragged that I only cry happy tears now and my son Emmie was with us backing me up, “Yes, mommy only cries happy tears!!!” That made me extremely happy that my kids are a witness to my life with God. They see all the ups and downs, and lately it’s been lots of ups! PRAISE GOD!!! I love this old post:

“YOU’LL ONLY CRY THOSE HAPPY TEARS”

I felt God singing to me yesterday through the song, ‘I Swear’ by All for One:

“I see the questions in your eyes
I know what’s weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my part
‘Cause I’ll stand beside you through the years
And you’ll only cry those happy tears
For better or worse, ’til death do us part
I’ll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear”

I was playing this as I dressed to go out and buy something for the boy’s dinner. As I was leaving to get something to cook, Joshie asked for pizza, and when I told him “No,” he asked his friend, Isaiah, who came over to play their game if he wanted pizza. The way Isaiah responded, though, was so cute and funny that I said, “No problem, I’ll get it.” Can you believe I’m waiting for the pizza, and I started crying those happy tears from the song that I felt God was singing to me minutes before?

It was a crazy day, but again like the lyrics said, “I’ll stand beside you,” I truly felt overwhelmingly supported by God. I just felt God coming through for me in so many areas. Like my daughter, Ember, showed up to help me with a project at our office, and she did such a great job helping me out. I had a great conversation with my nephew Duro that he is getting some help he needed in getting an internship. Joshie ended up telling me that Isaiah said it was his best time having pizza. To see my boys so happy playing with such fun and positive friends made me so happy. When I told Emmie that our life is a mess right now looking at so much laundry to put away, he surprised me and said, “LIFE IS GREAT!” No shame in my game, I can honestly tell you, when I’m weak, God is my strength standing STRONG with me. For better or worse, when I’m high or when I’m low, He is there like this verse from Isaiah beautifully reminds us:

“So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

Even when I’m feeling good for nothing, He says, “Nik, give me your nothingness! Didn’t I create the world from nothing!” We can unceasingly worship, praise, and thank God at every moment knowing we can always count on Him to be there for us with His love, joy, strength, peace, wisdom, and favor backing me up in this treacherous world where we don’t know what is coming at us from one moment to the next. He is there for you too!!! It’s just for us to tap into his help, love, and guidance! Pray all day! Every day!

And speaking of His love. After going all overboard about Tom Brady in my last YouTube video, can you believe, hours later, my daughters and I attended what we thought was a DJ Khaled concert, but turned out to be the Sports Illustrated Awards Show, and unbelievably Tom Brady was in attendance accepting the award for Sportsperson of the Year. I gave him a screaming standing ovation, so surprised by God.

This lined up a little bit too perfect to be some ordinary coincidence. I knew this was God lovingly arranging for me to see Tom Brady, who has had such a strong influence on my decisions to train myself like an athlete every day, as I aim to be the Greatest of ALL Time Wife, Momma, and Person, ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD! Tom taught me that we could strive to be the best in our little worlds, and I run with that, waking up every day with that as my goal. Some days I fail miserably, but every day is a new start to begin again, leaving the past in the past, knowing God can help get any situation back on track once we look to Him, moment by moment, for guidance. God is personally involved in our lives!!! Don’t miss out on the best life with Him!

“HOLD UP… LET ME GET MY MIND RIGHT”

God is so good, guys! He knows the experiences we need to help us become all He has created us to be!!! He broke my mind for a bit (God, I’m on to You!!!), but He did it with great intentions to get my head right and focused on Him!!! I can boast of my weaknesses, baby! God’s strength shines through to help me in my highest and lowest times.

Like I can’t get over how God sent my brother, Kevin, to hold my hand through my sad little time. He gave me this advice one day:

“DON’T STOP RUNNING. LIFE IS A WAR, AND YOU NEED THAT ALONE TIME WITH GOD TO STRATEGIZE AND PLAN.”

Thank You, God and Kevin!!! Just as Jesus went aside to have alone times with God, that’s exactly what I do. My daily runs to my God tree is where I ask Him, ‘God, Your girl is here. What do you want to say to me?’ And let me tell ya, this time listening to God has been PRICELESS.

This morning, He said this to me through my meditation book, Jesus Calling:

“Nothing is as important as spending time with Me.”

Did you hear that? There is nothing as important as spending time with God. He is our greatest friend. Every time I go to that tree, God chips away the old Nikki, as he helps me transform into a better, happier, more peaceful, courageous, stronger, and loving Nikki. Amen! I also learn His voice, character, and personality better. So, when I’m out in the world, I can discern what He is telling me moment-by-moment.

What made me realize the value of these alone times with God is hanging with my sister-in-law, Aima, last night. I saw the incredible difference in myself from the last time I visited her, maybe two months ago. It was an incredible difference from the wretched, sad person who dragged herself there. Last night, I was incredibly joyful, at peace, focused, excited, and enthusiastic about my life. The foolish things that were bothering me are gone. I’m focused, man! THANK YOU, GOD!!!

Make sure you are having your alone time with God EVERY DAY!!! THIS LIFE IS A WAR!!! WE NEED GOD!!!

GOD FINDS THE SWEETEST WAYS TO LET ME KNOW HE IS WITH ME

In my last post, I wrote how I asked my brother this when he insisted on paying me for some help:

“How can I possibly charge the person who has held my hand for the last three years that I’ve been going through my little ROUGH PATCH?”

Fast forward to today, I grabbed my daughter’s meditation book, Jesus Calling, from her room, and I randomly opened it to read it, and look what showed up, written as if God was speaking directly to me:

“When you encounter ROUGH PATCHES (Wink! Wink!) along your life-journey, trust that My Light is still shining upon you. My reasons for allowing these adversities may be shredded in mystery, but my continual Presence with you is an absolute promise.”

I remember typing that ROUGH PATCH in that post, feeling a little embarrassed about sharing it, and for God to go ahead of me and have those very words planted in this book of 365 days to reveal a glimmer of His invisible Presence, just brings tears to my eyes. OUR GOD IS WITH US!!! That was no coincidence but totally orchestrated by God Himself to deliver that promise to me on a day when my anxiety level has been on the high side. This was His sweet way of saying, ‘Nik, Relax, I got you!’ Wink! Wink! “My continual Presence with you is an absolute promise.”

Honestly, there were God winks showing up all over the place today! I was in my daughter Julie’s room to drop off a gift I had purchased for her. It was a week where she heard me like a broken record say, “Whatever you do, but love into it.” She even joined in telling me about a visit to one of our lenders saying, “Don’t worry mom, we put a lot of love into it!” Fast forward to today, I’m in this big store, and God draws my attention to a mug saying, ““Let all you do…be done with love!” (Wink! Wink!).” Again, no coincidence but God’s way of letting me know that He is intimately involved in every moment of my life, every conversation, every move I make, He knows all about it even before it happens.

And He’s with you, too! It’s just for you to try the best you can every day to learn more about Him and the many ways He communicates with us. Trust me, He is quite talkative. Joshie has already stolen a wristband I purchased from this same store saying that “The Lord is My Shepherd.”

I asked him if he knew what that meant. I explained that God is continually guiding his life from moment to moment, it’s just for him to learn God’s voice and follow wherever He leads. My sheep know my voice! I told him how we left Nigeria following God’s lead for the girls to finish high school in the US with plans to go to university in New York. Come next month, both of them will be enrolled in New York universities, baby!

Hanging with my sweetie daughter, Ember, today, I said I don’t go with my dreams anymore because God always gives me far beyond anything I can ever imagine or expect! (HUGE SMILE) Yesterday he asked me to have faith in His love! God, may we all increase our faith in You!!! Don’t miss out! Start developing a relationship with God for yourself!

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH, BABY!!!

I can’t get over how I run to my God tree every morning feeling so overwhelmed, heavy, burdened, and anxious by everything I have on my plate to tackle these days. Yet, on my way back home, after having some alone time with God, I’m light, happy dancing, and filled with peace and God’s love. This is God’s invitation

A love out of this world! Don’t miss out! Our help comes from the Lord!!!

“MY NEPHEWS ARE COUNTING ON YOU”

Those words from our manager, Moises, really got to me yesterday. The family hustle just got way deeper! It’s not just about my family and me; other people are counting on me to show up and give my best to feed their families, too. Forget Vice-President supporting hubby; your girl has to step up as the President of our car sales company, as hubby has a lot he is handling. We’re a team, baby, doing our thing all for the glory of God! Your wifey got this, and God got her!!!! Your girl is so confident that I’m telling everyone that I will be the one teaching my husband the car business! That’s me having fun with it, taking it as a lighthearted challenge that God and I can confidently handle together! Amen!

Honestly, though, this business has brought me so much closer to God because of the many times it had me run to Him for help on issues that would arise. God, what is this!!! Like Moises had even abandoned me for a little bit, but now I thank him for leaving. If I’m honest, he was a crutch holding me up, and when he walked out, I had to learn to stand firm on my own. With hubby gone, that left me leaning on God and God alone, and let me tell ya, THERE IS NO PLACE I’LL RATHER BE. Moises and hubby leaving turned out to be the best thing! I’m going to new levels of closeness with God!!! I had to boss up and boss up fast!

I really have to shout out my brother, Jason. I called him one Sunday returning home from a run to my God tree, and he said, “Nikki, stop overthinking. JUST BLEEPING DO IT!!!” Honestly, I had lost my courage and confidence. Then, that Tuesday, a bank rep called me out of the blue, and he repeated what Jason said, “Nikki, JUST DO IT!!!”

Right after that conversation, a Nissan Altima came up at an auction, and I clicked that button to buy it! It came in, and a previous customer brought his brother, and they ended up buying that car together. As I’m telling them about how my brother, Kevin, had been holding my hand during my little rough time, he said, “Thank your brother for me.” He is so happy to have the car to go to his hustle as he begins a new and fresh start in his life. We all have a past, but with God, we can refresh and start our lives again at any moment, being different than we were five minutes prior, knowing His love is unconditional. God holds our sins, failure, mistakes, and transgressions away from us like the east is from the west. We can all begin again now, and God will lovingly accept us rolling with Him exactly how and where we are.

I feel like I mess up all day, every day, but today on my run, God found a sweet way to let me know He loves me. It was a song that started playing in a store couple of days ago by Doja Cat. As I’m doing a 5k run with Coach Bennet, he asked what song I was listening to. He said REALLY pay attention to the lyrics. Minutes later, look what lyrics showed up on Doja Cat’s song ‘Get into it:’

“Thank you, Nikki (my nick name!). I love you.”

This lined up too perfectly to be a coincidence. It was a message from God Himself to me! From Coach Bennet telling me to REALLY listen to the lyrics and for those words to show up minutes later, was an extra special surprise from God. (HUGE SMILE) Don’t miss out on what He has to say to you! You should have seen your girl on that run, dancing like nobody’s business, filled with such joy, peace, and God’s deep love. I’ve learned His voice! My appointments under my God tree, meeting with Him, asking what He has to say to me, reading our family’s website, and my meditation books (especially Jesus Calling) have been priceless. Try every day to get to know God a little bit better!!!

“HOW ARE YOU THE ONE TEACHING ME ABOUT LOVE?”

That was me to my son, Emmie, today! He is my official critic! He fussed me out that I wasn’t calling his dad in Nigeria enough, “You tell me to call him, but you don’t call him!” It was just my psychic YouTuber, Stargirl, who told me I must stop chasing people, but my son and God have corrected me! I’m to not call my husband from a space of tracking him and knowing his whereabouts, but from a space of genuine love and wanting to check on the world’s best husband. Like I called him today from under the God tree, saying an extra special prayer for him. That God would provide him exceptional support, love, guidance, wisdom, and favor to be the father, husband, and person God is calling him to be. Amen! Love sets free, not chase!

“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” – 1 John 4:16

Let me just be real with you guys. My brother, Gil, said the perfect thing: “If we take away infidelity issue from marriages, we’ll have perfect marriages.” We must just forget this cheating issue completely and address it with God (the Manufacturer) when we die. Just turn a blind eye, pretend you don’t see what you see and pretend you don’t hear what you hear, and just keep being the best spouse you can possibly be and leave the rest with God. It is what it is, folks!

Some things we will never be able to comprehend or understand why people do what they do, but our job is just to love, keep forgiving, and stop judging. Whatever anyone does is between them and God! Our job is to stay focused on God every moment, asking Him to help change OUR attitudes and behavior so we show up as the best people for Him. Amen!

We must learn to get our love and security from God, not other people. I’m learning to live life with one foot on earth for all the messiness, clutter, and frustrations and with the other foot in heaven, enjoying my life with God, knowing He knows every thought I think, and He is with me at every moment. One day recently, under my God tree, He asked me something like, “Isn’t it clear that my love arranged all of this for you?” I looked around at this beautiful neighborhood I get to go running in every morning, and I just smiled with God saying, ‘It’s very clear Your love arranged all this for me!’ Including the best husband who’s working hard every day to support our family! Thanks, boo!

Like I was just cleaning the bathroom at our office (your girl is in hustle mode, too!), and I thought about a customer who owed us some money. Can you believe that this very customer called me in less than 15 minutes to ask if he could come and pay? That was just God revealing AGAIN His invisible Presence with me, letting me know He is behind the scenes of my life, helping me in every aspect. No coincidence!

God is at work in the spiritual realm on your behalf as well! I want us all to learn His voice – the Holy Spirit within each of us, and pay attention to what He would have us do. “Obey God and leave the consequences with Him” is the advice I’m running with from Charles Stanley, and it’s seriously working! God is taking me to a new level of closeness with Him! (HUGE SMILE)

GOD FINDS THE SWEETEST WAYS TO LET ME KNOW HE IS WITH ME

In my last post, I wrote how I asked my brother this when he insisted on paying me for some help:

“How can I possibly charge the person who has held my hand for the last three years that I’ve been going through my little ROUGH PATCH?”

(HUGE SMILE) Yesterday he asked me to have faith in His love! God, may we all increase our faith in You!!! Don’t miss out! Start developing a relationship with God for yourself!

GOD WANTS TO WALK WITH YOU ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!!!

He wants to be PERSONALLY involved in our lives!!! I had a lot going on today, but I’m so happy I’ve disciplined myself to go for that run to my God tree just about every day to spend some time with God and get His Almighty perspective on my life! It’s too hard to do without Him!!! NO SHAME! God, I need You!!!

A situation happened where I released a car to some customers that might not have been the best move (not sure yet). But I was so happy that my kids were around to witness the ups and downs of our family business. At the end of the day, when I questioned them as to the lessons they had learned, Julie responded, “In life you will have problems, you just need to figure out the solutions.” This is after she saw me tackling the issue head-on, attempting to resolve it with one of our lenders. That didn’t work, and now I’m on to plan B.

But here’s the most crucial part of the story. I’m discussing the entire situation with God, seeking His help and guidance. His ideas and solutions are coming to mind, and I’m running with them. I feel Him in my spirit directing me and helping me. God and I are super close now, and He tells me He wants me to develop the habit of always being with Him. So, my entire day is spent asking, ‘God, what should WE do here?’ and following wherever He leads. Even releasing that car, I followed Him. And I’m learning to enjoy His company, knowing I’m secure with Him standing by my side through it all. IN GOD WE TRUST, BABY!

And don’t feel as if you must have your life all together. Trust me, my life is a complete mess! No joke! But yet I feel incredibly loved by God as if I’m His fav girl!. His love is unconditional, unlike the love we receive from humans, who are quick to cut us off if we mess up. He wants to walk with you, too! Just start talking to Him, asking Him to be the Guide and Partner of your life.
