QAVAH
Congratulations! You are Pregnant.
Beloved, I am coming to give you five gold bars soon. How are you going to prepare for my arrival?
Some people will stock up on coffee and energy drinks.
Some people will set reminders to ask (sis, when are you coming?)
Some people will tell someone to hold them accountable (I am expecting a delivery, I have set an alarm and bought some energy drinks but I need you to please remind me to follow up on the lady)
Of course, there will be many strategies deployed. This week has been busy for me, I planned to rest over the weekend and get some things done in preparation for the new week. Writing a newsletter today or in the next 2 weeks was certainly not part of the plan.
Regardless, I received a message overnight and know sharing will help you. In "MODUS OPERANDI" I spoke about the theory, today I will share the practical with you.
I remember DDK making this declaration at The Torch Gathering and Mentoring Conference last year and it resonates with what is coming in this season of breakthrough. One breakthrough that will lead to a back to back series of wins. The conference will hold next weekend in Lagos, please attend if you can. Last year I traveled all the way from Ilorin to attend and I am glad I did.
Have you ever been pregnant in the dream but not in reality?
Calm down! I know it is the month of “love“. Dreaming about pregnancy is something you can laugh off easily because how? why? especially when you are single and not planning on becoming a mom soon.
Last night, I was pregnant in my dream and it isn’t the first time I am experiencing such.
Over the years, I have understood that the ability to discern seasons and plan (goal setting and vision boarding) based on the insights of that season is what makes people successful. read again.
I have also learnt that some peculiarities and similarities happen among us humans. For example, recently I asked two questions on my Instagram story. From the results, people are tired physically, feel unmotivated mentally, and have been less spiritual (prayer and Bible study, people still sing though). In this period, the ability to persevere on a task or goal is rare because the tides are blowing in the opposite direction, the ability for someone to be excellent at their task regardless of how tired and mentally exhausted they feel now is something that will push them a step up.
The same applies to the current spiritual landscape. I know some of us started this year feeling “I will occupy in the marketplace“ and we have put Bible reading on hold since the beginning of the year because we thought we will just occupy and continue 9-5 without reading the word, however, I am referring to a wind of spiritual slackness that is currently blowing.
Yes, the same applies to good things like the good pandemic of miracle babies we had last year and we will have this year. When God blesses, he blesses in groups or classes.
For example, if you look at history and data you will realise that some inventions and innovations were peculiar to a particular season or timeframe.
So whenever, you feel like you are alone either during a great or not so great period you aren’t, you are just privilege to experience the “first mover’s advantage“, Crazy! I know.
When a season changes for us as individuals and in the body based on discernment we can feel it in the air, it has a different feel in the climate and sometimes a whistling sound in the air.
It doesn’t matter how unspiritual you have been since the year started, there is still time (if you start now) to build an altar fan the flames of your altar and position yourself to step into what is coming.
The last time I was pregnant, it was barely some month to COP 28.
On the 27th of September 2023, I dreamt that I was pregnant.
I didn’t even know that I was pregnant. My mom said I was due and she took me to a hospital to deliver. My tummy was very very big and I couldn’t walk well. I was taken to a hospital abroad.
I was in the labour room for over 12 hours and I wasn’t dialating. The doctor said I should go home and come back later. On the way home I was telling my mom, “how can I be pregnant“. She decided to buy another stip for me to do a test when I get home.
I was struggling to walk home due to the size of my tummy and I doubted that I was pregnant but I remembered that the test done at the hospital showed that I was pregnant. Not long after I woke up.
When I woke up, I knew the meaning of what I saw but I decided to pray and go for counselling and it was the same meaning.
I was due for a breakthrough but my faith level could not carry it so I could not give birth. Remember in “2024 MODUS OPERANDI“ I talked about “faith and obedience“. I thought I was praying for it to manifest but I wasn’t. Daily I started declaring for the manifestation of the breakthrough and to build my faith level.
One day, I was resting at home, the GMT program ended and I was waiting for the result when I felt a strong unrest in my spirit, I remember hearing “you are not supposed to be here, how many days is it to COP 28?“. It was barely a month at this point I had applied for scholarships for the conference but I wasn’t selected. I started doing research again, wrote to a mentor in the industry.
The responses within an hour were bleak, so I took a break from the workstation and went to my room. I locked myself in the room for over an hour I prayed, worshiped and prayed, I prayed until I stopped praying the prayer points I entered the room with and started making the prayers that were given to me. It was when I opened my eyes that I realised how long I spent.
I went upstairs, opened twitter and I was given specific instruction. When things felt delayed or I experienced a road blocked I went back to pray. I would do NSPPD on my way to work, settle at my desk and pray with the service from the beginning while working, I would worship with three specific songs given to me, I would take a break and pray. When I get home, I will pray and worship, I set an alarm for midnight and I would pray. If I had a dream I didn’t like in relation to my breakthrough, I would wake up from the dream by about 3:00am and pray again. I prayed and the rest is history. When people ask me how I attended COP 28, I say “God took me there“ or “I Prayed my way there”
I also had faith and obedience, I remember how I screamed the day I got my letter for my dream role and I remember how confused my family was when I told them I was resigning (it is definitely the hardest decision I made in 2023)
It was stressful but shey na me want breakthrough, prayer won’t kill you, a whole “JAGUN JAGUN“ . I didn’t die, I ended up treating malaria because of the stress but I had my baby at the end.
I wasn’t sure of where I was going but I was certain of who sent me and I trusted him.
Fun fact: If I didn’t reisgn I won’t have attended COP 28, I won’t have pivoted to consulting this early, or had an International Organization as my first client, I won’t have started this newsletter, I won’t have spoken at FES.
When you ask a believer to pray long thats when they remember that "Praise is a weapon". SMH! laughs in satanic diplomacy. Praise is a weapon and so is prayer.
If you are discerning, we have been praying more in the body, from Halleluyah challenge to local assemblies to conferences and market place meetings.
“But Tolu I am not the one that dreamt“ You don’t have to. In the two encounters I saw other pregnant people that were due to deliver. Remember when God visits your neighbourhood “you too go collect”. Even if the angels sent didn’t come with your package initially, you will position yourself by faith and collect package because they will not go back with the blessings they brought and sadly not everyone they brought vessels for will be ready to collect. It is my heartfelt prayer that you prepare and position yourself to receive.
For many of us this letter means may things, a reminder to continue sowing at midnight, a reminder to be grateful, a reminder to fast and prayer, a call to a social media fast, a call to be cautious of what we say, a reminder to apologise, a call to sow financially, a call to stillness, a call to worship, a call to interceed for others, a call to reunite to family, a call to sponsor the education of a child and many others. Remember your package is different from mine, your consecration is also unique to you. Regardless of the instructions that you will receive pair it with something that you know touches God’s heart. Use the love language between you and God and yes obey the instructions that you will get timely and grow in your faith level.
Psalm 84:7
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
Isaiah 40: 31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
When we wait and stay, we may feel weak but we zoom out of our strength into the strength and ability of God.
Matthew 26:40
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
QAVAH is a Hebrew word that means to wait actively with anticipation, hopefully watching for God to act.
What are you waiting for?
How are you waiting?
How long will you wait? Till the breakthrough manifests.
What will you do while waiting?
Proverbs 6:10-11
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, And thy want as an armed man.
I am not giving anyone 5 bars of gold yet, your breakthrough is on the way, it is coming soon, How are you going to prepare for its arrival?
Stay prayed up and discerning till I write to you next!
D Oracle!
