Gospel Diary Anniversary Day 5: Behind the Devotion – Writing Gospel Diary

Image
Bible Reading _ “This vision is for a future time.  It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.”   Habakkuk 2:3 (NLT). Have you ever waited on a promise? What did it shape in you? 🙋‍♀️Welcome Welcome to a sacred backstage moment—where the whispers of God become words and the journey behind every Gospel Diary post is laid open with joy, truth, and gratitude. What does it take to turn silence into scripture? ✍️ Where It All Began On August 1, 2024, the first devotion was titled  Unlocking the Power of Faith.  It wasn’t just a teaching—it was a testimony. Pastor Chris S. Akpan shared a personal story of fasting, prayer, and divine direction that led to a long-standing career. It was more than a post—it was a prophecy released. _ “That day, I unlocked faith. And God unlocked my future.” Each devotional since carries that same weight:  God’s presence + real st...

Gospel Diary Anniversary Day 4: Testimony Monday – Voices of Faith

Image
  🙋Theme Scripture Revelation 12:11 – “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony...” 📫Opening Reflection : Why Testimonies Matter   - Across time and continents, testimonies have shaped revivals, healed hearts, and whispered God's reality into chaos. They’re not just stories—they're spiritual thunder. From Abraham recounting his covenant journey to David's victory songs, from Paul’s dramatic conversion in Acts 22 to the Samaritan woman’s ripple-effect in John 4, the Bible echoes again and again: what God does in one life, He wants to multiply in many. 🌅 Scripture Anchors - Psalm 66:16 – “Come and hear... I will tell you what He has done for my soul.”    - Mark 5:19 – Jesus said, “Go... report... what great things the Lord has done for you.”    - John 4:39 – “Many believed... because of the woman’s testimony.”    - Acts 4:20 – “For we cannot but speak what we have seen and heard.” Even ch...

Gospel Diary Anniversary Day 1: Unlocking the Power of Faith, One Year Later

Image
💅Theme : Faith That Endures   🙋Focus : Honoring the first post, activating fresh faith, and launching Seven Days of Mercy with bold expectation. 🗣️Bible Reading Matthew 16:19 (NLT):   - “And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you lock on earth will be locked in heaven, and whatever you open on earth will be opened in heaven.” 💮Opening Trickle A Whisper of Mercy . Before the hashtags, before the headlines—there was a whisper.   One word. One fast. One faithful act.    That whisper became Gospel Diary, born not of fame but of fire—sparked by a servant’s story and sustained by heaven’s mercy. Today, we don't just celebrate a platform—we celebrate every heart that dared to believe. 💥Flashback Testimony On August 1, 2024, Gospel Diary began with “Unlocking the Power of Faith: A Christian Guide”, drawing life from Matthew 16:19 and Hebrews 11:6.

The Holy Wait: When Heaven Whispers in Silence

Image
🛂Gospel Diary Trickle (GDT) Before the trumpet sounds and the answer thunders… there is a whisper.      A still place where Heaven holds its breath and hearts learn to listen.     Today, we enter the hush—and find God waiting too. "Be still, and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10. The Spirit invites you today to listen deeper. Beyond sound, beyond noise, beyond need. Whether you’re pacing through Lagos traffic, lying under Chilean stars, or seated quietly in Jakarta, know this: God isn’t absent. His silence is sacred. His stillness is strategy.  🩸 Reflection We ask hard questions in the quiet: _ Why hasn’t He answered yet?   _ Has He heard me at all?   _ Am I being forgotten? But across cultures and continents, the same whisper returns:   - The silence is not punishment—it is preparation. God waits with us. And He weaves even when the loom is silent. 👥 Testimonies from the Nations Morocco : “Six years o...

Go and Do Likewise — Showing Compassion in a Divided World

Image
Scripture Focus Luke 10:25–37 > “The one who showed him mercy.  Jesus told him, Go and do likewise.” 💬 Devotional Thought:    - Scrolling through today’s headlines can feel overwhelming. Division, violence, and loneliness fill our feeds. But nestled in Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan is a radical call: don't just care—cross the road. The priest and Levite passed by. The Samaritan stopped, stooped, and served. That’s compassion with a pulse—not a feeling, but a decision. Mercy isn’t sterile—it’s messy, inconvenient, and sometimes uncomfortable. But it’s also life-changing. 🧭Real-Life Analogy:    - One busy morning in Lagos, a man collapsed near a crowded bus stop. The rush of commuters barely slowed—most turned their heads and kept walking. But one woman paused.   She knelt beside him, offered water, and stayed until help arrived. Later that day, she visited him at the hospital to check on his recovery. She wasn’t a medic o...
