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

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 stories + living Word.

✏️What Writing Devotions Really Means

1).  Every post is born from prayer—not just content planning.

 

2). They often begin with silence before a verse speaks.

3). They’re written for global hearts, even if whispered from one room.

  

4). They aim to reveal Jesus, not impress crowds.

Gospel Diary isn’t a blog. It’s an altar of language.

,📜Writing Process

🍁The keyboard becomes an altar.

🏖️The Spirit becomes the author.

📧And the reader becomes the echo.

Atmosphere matters, too: sometimes it’s rain tapping windows, sometimes worship humming low. Each devotion comes from a place God creates in silence.
