Dear Tyla

I celebrated my birthday in March and it was truly a remarkable experience. I believe this story will remind you that God has not forgotten

Something happened to you when you find yourself in the right place, with the right audience and on the right stage. In this episode I share the valuable lessons I've learned in this period of silence and the benefits of God bringing your own people to you

Continuation of Last week's episode!

Happy New Month. It's February and it's the month of love. We all express love in the way we define it. In this episode we discuss my idea of love and though it may be controversial you'll will definitely learn a lot from it...

Treasure is usually hidden in forms that we may not easily recognise. Not everything that is of value shines. It takes discernment to recognise the treasure hidden in us and around us. In this episode we discuss the need for discernment in all things

Progress is something we all desire but it comes on the basis of the little things we do. Those steps of dedication and discipline cause us to enter into great experiences while on the other hand the little things we do wrong have a serious negative effect. In this episode we discuss the value of consistency.

It's early in the year and because of the things we desire we can get to the point where we actually lose focus on what matters most. In this episode we discuss the value of making God a priority and keeping our hearts focused on what matters most

Have you ever heard a testimony and said WOW!!!? Well wow can mean two things. It can mean that you are simply blown away by the magnitude of God's power or it can mean that it feels fake and fabricated. We decide the limitations of God in our lives. In this episode we discuss how our perception of situations lead to our perception of God's ability...

In this epiosde we probe our hearts if we truly trust God. There are many confessions we make that are usually just emotional or because of the euphoria of the moment but our inner convictions are truly different. Sometimes we also don't believe that God has our best interest at heart and it leads us to not just question His love for us but also His ability. In this episode we remind ourselves that God is dependable.

There is usually more than one side to an individual or a thing and many times we relate to people based on the aspect that is considered most important. We prioritise certain aspects and sometimes lose sight on the multifaceted nature of people and things. In this episode we discuss a particular side of Jesus that we tend to neglect as believers.

Our walk with God will require us to take risks in order to see the miraculous. God places audacious desires in our hearts so that He can show His wonders. In this episode we discuss the need to have faith this year. The dreams we have are as valid as our faith in God's ability to perform but we have to agree to have Faith on Water...

Happy New Year!!! I am super excited that we made it to 2025 and what better way to start the year than with God. So many decisions and resolutions are being made and they are all with good intentions but it's important how you you start. It's important to start with God in every aspect and dealing with your life. This episode discusses the need for beginning with God and the benefits of doing such. Always remember to start with God

We were all born as believers. We all came to the earth knowing that every thing is possible. Along the line we learn a terrible trait called doubt. We get told that we can't do certain things either by the people we love and respect or by the various experiences we encounter as we try to achieve those dreams. It now becomes a very important task for us to unlearn the art of doubting and pick up the faith culture. We have to learn to believe again and set ourselves on the path to victory. If it first starts in the mind then it must be conquered there first.

It's been a pretty long and eventful year for me and while reflecting on the year I came to realise how many prayers the Lord has answered. Sometimes we get so caught up with the things we need at tye moment that we forget the things we once asked the Lord for and He eventually answered. In this episode I share a personal testimony and how it's been encouraging me to trust God to fulfil the other promises. In all that happens in your life remember that GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!!!

In a world with so many opinions and so many voices, your convictions are one of your greatest assets. Living in the world of men you must believe in something or someone. Your faith must be anchored on something at some point. Faith is a choice. Every voice is an opinion from you to choose from. God speaks and the opinions and experiences of men also speak. The choice is yours to make. As for me I BELIEVE GOD

Adventures are as fun as they are daring. The one who guides you through an adventure determines the reality and extent of your experience. Walking with God is both thrilling and exciting but it requires faith. There is so much God wants to show the world through our lives but it will only happen through the hearts of those who are willing to risk it all to believe God. In this episode we trigger the desire to have God Adventures

The story of the Shepherd leaving the 99 sheep to save one that was lost is a very common story of how the Lord goes all out for the lost. It shows how previous we are in the sight of the Lord. As powerful as this truth is, we are left with one question. Does it mean the Shepherd doesn't value the 99? In the second episode of these series we discuss on this and see a perspective that is truly liberating

We are starting a series about common stories from scripture and learning lessons from perspectives that aren't usually seen. We all know the story of the Prodigal Son but what about the elder brother which I call the Unprodigal Son? There were legitimate concerns that he expressed that we don't acknowledge and also a response from the Father that will set things in a different light? Was the Prodigal Son loved more than the Unprodigal Son?

In this inspiring episode, we explore the profound journey of dreaming with God and how it transforms our lives. Join us as we delve into the essence of walking with God, a path that requires unwavering faith and deep conviction. Discover how to hold on to your dreams, even when faced with doubt and uncertainty. We'll share heartfelt stories, practical insights, and spiritual wisdom to empower you to trust in God's plan and embrace your divine purpose. Tune in to strengthen your faith and ignite your conviction to pursue the dreams that God has placed in your heart.

Most dreams start off with the end in mind and as much as that can build anticipation and hope it can become very discouraging along the line. Many of us have been static in life because all we need to get there doesn't seem readily available. As real as that may seem the truth is that everythibg we need to get started is never far from us. It may not be the best but it will definitely get the job done. In this episode we discuss the value of discerning what is in Front Of You

Success is a feeling and an experience we all wish to have. We all love to have that taste of glory, celebration and recognition. It's something we should aspire to experience. As good as success is, it can become our greatest enemy and undoing. It's amazing that our success can be the reason why we don't succeed further. In this episode we discuss how to get the best out of success.

Everyone of us must have experienced one level of disappointment whether if it were personally or from others. It's one experience that can wreck the best of us. Many people get lost in the pool of disappointment and some never recover. Every storm has a way of being Navigated. There is a way out if you know the way and have the will. In this episode I share some of the disappointments I have experienced and how God pulled me through

Having the loyalty of people is one of the most precious gifts we can get from people but should we also have shared enemies? Should we inherit the enemies of our friends or should we end up choosing sides irrespective of circumstances? In this episode we discuss what it means to be a mediator and the key to preserving relationships.

So I was preparing to record an episode this evening and it just dawned on me that Dear Tyla will be 3 years tomorrow! It's been an amazing journey and one with many lessons learned. In this episode I share a few that can help you in your own endeavour.

Being a believer is one tough journey. Many times we feel that our allegiance to God exempt us from some certain things but in reality it makes us even bigger targets. Also there is this thought that being saved absolves us from every responsibility. The truth remains that the Lord delivers us from the the burdens of life by not only taking away the issues but I stilling His own demands on our lives! In this episode we delve in to the reality of our faith walk

Life is lived by references. Whatever you magnify becomes your reality. Faith is not just built on knowledge but on the emphasis of a particular conviction. Every aspect of life has a corresponding example and it is your responsibility to choose the one that you desire

In life we may go through seasons where we doubt the validity of our dreams and passions. In those times we begin to feel that we probably made mistakes or God isn't interested in our own lives. In this episode I share a very personal story and also a testimony that God has not forgotten any promise He made. I hope you find encouragement to believe again!

It's been a while that I shared anything on Dear Tyla. So much has happened and I've decided to share... Here is a bit of my heart.

There are so many voices in this world. So many people have a lot to say and suggest. In such a world as ours it's very possible that we tilt towards believing the opinion of people but what is most important is our convictions. Every opinion is a suggestion that has the potential to be wrong. We must define what our convictions are because they ultimately define our decisions and they in turn define our reality.

Jesus you love me too much oooo... I'm sure you know the response already. Excess Love is such a beautiful song by Minister Mercy Chinwo. I remember how it trended for a certain period and oh my it blessed us. People deserve love in lavish amounts but can we love people too much that it hurts them and damages them? It's important to remember that love has many dimensions and one of it is discipline and restraint. In this episode we discuss how to avoid living people in excess.

It takes a lot to get me to live someone but in this episode I share a very deep secret that would probably get me married soon enough and hopefully some of us can use the same principles for ourselves... This episode is a fun one though

How many times have you fallen in love? How many X's do you have? For some of us our past relationships had good moments while for others, our past relationships were dreadful. In this episode we talk about the necessity of dealing with the past, both and good and bad and how ignoring it can wreck a beautiful experience

Happy Valentines Day to you all... So I don't have a Val but decided to come up with a fake Val story... Ente into my world of imaginations...

Have you ever asked someone out by mistake? Here is my story of how this happened and it's pretty hilarious. Imagine the many things we miss out on just because we are not bold enough to ask.

In this episode I share about my Culture and some of its peculiarities. In turn I discuss how our culture shapes our identity.

If there is one thing I have come to realise causes the greatest level of disappointment is when you don't get the results you desire from a thing. The truth is if we consistently depend on results to motivate us we may struggle to be consistent in our dealings. There must be something greater to fuel our passion in life and that is purpose. In this episode we share why purpose is so important and why it should be prioritised over results

In this episode we discuss the reality that Heaven truly helps men. As it is important for us to live right and do right there may be times that we act out of order. In such moments we feel guilty reaching out to the Father but our solution lies in running to him.

Being a fan of super hero movies one of the many powers seen in them is the ability to deflect bullets or stop them from penetrating heros. This is a truly great ability and one that we can use in our personal lives. In this episode we discuss developing tough skin in this new year so that the world around you doesn't affect you in anyway...

Have you ever tried to remember certain things and details and sadly seems to never remember it existed? This happens a lot and it can be frustrating. As frustrating as these things may be it can sometimes help us as as recalling certain things can be extremely painful and detrimental to our progress. In this epiosde we discuss the benefit of forgetting certain things so that we can actually make progress.

Ever heard of the word NOSTALGIA? It is the emotion you feel when you encounter something from your past. It is usually a happy feeling packed with a lot of emotion. The very ability to have nostalgic feelings is a gift because you can draw emotional strength even from past experiences. There is a gift in recalling the faithfulness of God. Sometimes all we need to do is take time to remember the things God has done in our lives for us to draw strength for the future

In this episode I share on the value of relationships and taking advantage of the most important relationship available to us, The Holy Spirit. As we move through the New Year it is important that we don't weary ourselves by doing things on our own.

Happy New Year family. I'm so glad we made it to 2024. As with all new things there is always a wave of excitement and passion found in them. In this episode I decided that it would be very important and beneficial to help align our motives for doing things and also remind us that there is nothing wrong in trying to complete things from the previous year. You don't have to do new things but you can strive for new results.

It's been a very long time since I posted an episode and this will have to be one of the hardest ever. We always tend to move towards things that soothe our ego and cuddle our pride but it does more harm than good. In this episode I share the benefits of having uncomfortable conversations and the dangers of avoiding them.

There are so many things we receive as believers that come through our union with Jesus, our fellowship with other believers and the access granted by various vessels. A lot of things can be imparted but one thing that can't be imparted is our History With God. This doesn't just serve as a proof of our walk with Him but also a Testimony of His dealings in our life and how these dealings strengthen our convictions. God doesn't just want to be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob but also your God bearing your name because of your History with Him

The Word of God is truly powerful. The Word of God is both instructive and prophetic. The words hidden in scripture don't just teach us but they show us possibilities for our lives. The word can come in such a way that it seems deeply personal and specific while other aspects seem general. You must see yourself and assignemt as it is captured in the Word of God. It will take both diligence and hunger to receive the power of God's Word. Every answer you desire is hidden in the Word of God

Faith is a very strong pillar of our Christian walk and its important we get a grasp of it in order to get the best of it. Whatever thing you define poorly will never benefit you. It's true that the concept of Faith may be one that is particularly hard to comprehend but I've come to see that God has placed so many pointers in the Word to make things clearer. In this discussion we delve into what Faith is and how it functions

Many people live in their own world facing their own issues living their own reality. The greatest seat of our reality is our mind. What the mind conceives is one of the greatest realities we would experience. Having a healthy and Co fident mindset about you isn't just some motivational antique but a true way of living your best life. The first limitation in your life is that of the mind and your advantage will come from your mental convictions. The things around you will never be as real as the things inside you. Remember AS A MAN THINKS IN HIS HEART SO IS HE!!!

Have you ever felt like what you carry isn't special or loved with a mindset of deep comparison? Well it is something many of us face especially if you're in the creative space. With so many people doing similar things to you it's hard to see yourself in the light of someone with something special. One thing we must have at the back of our minds is that God placed a unique gift in us and that gift is needed to serve and bless an generation. Self doubt has crippled so many of us anf robbed the world of such a beautiful experience. What you carry is truly a Gift!

Ever felt like you are a second grade individual or that what you carry isn't worth it? It's a feeling many of us get and most times we try to soften the effects by affirming we weren't created for greatness. This mindset has stopped so many of us from giving our best. Who we are is greater than what we do. How we dispense a gift is of more importance than the nature of the gift itself. God doesn't make second grade things. Remember, you are good enough.

Nothing was created for nothing. There is a purpose attached to everything including you. Life has a way of dealing with us that makes us feel we are created less than others or that we are 2nd grade individuals. This is far from true. God designed us with originality and uniqueness. The moment you discover you were created for something great that is the moment you begin to experience true living

Addictions come in all type of forms. It could be a habit, a craving or desire and many other things. One of these things is actually 'ENTITLEMENT'. This is a mentality that wrecks individuals and destroys relationships. It creates expectations in leolme that they probably would never meet and ultimately builds resentment. The basis of this episode is to reveal a certain truth which is 'NO ONE OWES YOU ANYTHING'
