Part 2

Romans 8:28

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.

"When life throws you a curveball, what do you do? Do you quit or do you keep going? God is constantly stretching us in our character and how we see the world. This is a part of my story that provides a detailed description of how my passport, which was stuck in the Nigerian embassy, came to me just in time for me to travel to get my Visa to go to Greece. 

Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts

If you have ever been in a hurry to rush through a certain phase of your life, please know that God’s ways and plans are not yours.

This Episode is a gentle reminder to trust the God of times and seasons as he navigates you through this thing called life.

Jesus said "And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free "John 10:10 provides us with a summary of the enemy's resume. He steals, kills, and destroys. Every day, we have a choice either to believe in the truth of God's word and reject the lies of the devil, or believe in a lie and become entangled in it. There is no in-between. I hope this message from the Father awakens you and encourages you to make a conscious effort to walk in God's truth."

Trusting God with life's uncertainties can be a challenge. But I'm here to encourage those who have been knocked down by life to keep their faith and trust in the Lord with all their heart. Don't rely on your own understanding, instead turn to the Lord for guidance. It's easy to get distracted by comparing ourselves to others, so we should focus on our relationship with the Lord.

Have you ever wondered how you see yourself and how God sees you? It's common to feel the pressure to compare ourselves to others in our image-obsessed society. However, the only way to overcome this identity crisis is to stand on God's word. As Genesis 1:26 says, we were created in the image of God and we should find our true identity in Him.

"How can I deal with discouragement and what does the Bible say about it? In Joshua 1:8, God encouraged Joshua as he took on the task of being a leader, even though it was a daunting one. Remember that God is always with you and on your side. Stay encouraged!"

Welcome to the Alabaster Oil Conversations with Chinwendu Olivia Ibe. I am a daughter of the Most High, and I want the world to know about my faith in Jesus. Professionally, I am an Architect and Interior Designer, as well as a Worship Minister and a Minister of the Gospel. Despite growing up with an eye defect, my parents spoke words of life over me instead of discouraging me. This shaped me into the person I am today. The goal of the Alabaster Oil Conversations podcast is to share God's truth with you, not just to motivate or inspire you outside of the word of God. I hope to create a community of individuals who know they are loved and can confidently walk in their God-given identity. New episodes will be posted every Saturday at 7 am EST.

Join me on this journey of faith.
