Hmmmnn...For several years, I've toyed with the idea of hosting my own blog. I played with the idea, prayed about it and then dropped it. But after about 3-months in the UK with an amazing internet connection and many thoughts floating through my head, I found myself wondering if this wasn't the right time to finally do it.
So, I again talked to my heavenly father about it and asked His permission to 'finally do it'. You may be wondering 'Ify how far nah, why do you need God's permission to start a blog?' Isn't that as ridiculous as having to ask for His permission to open a Facebook or Twitter account?' Well, may be it is and maybe it isn't. I chose to ask for my heavenly father's permission because I knew that whenever I chose to host a blog, I was going to be investing alot of time and energy into it. I also knew that I'd want to share His revelations and instructions to me on here so I just thought it wise to ask for a 'copyright'. Besides when you lovingly submite to someone's authority, it's difficult to do too many things without getting that person's opinion/approval.
Another reason I prayed about it was cos I wasn't quite sure why I wanted a blog in the first place. Did I want it cos several of my friends host their own blogs? or was I doing it cos I wanted to use it as a tool to reach out to more people on behalf of my heavenly father while at the same time honing my writing skills? Praying and searching my heart helped me realize that the latter was the case and that's why I've moved on with the idea. Now, It wasn't like I heard an audible voice from heaven like the sound of many waters telling me "GO AHEAD MY DAUGHTER, I'VE GOT YOUR BACK' ;0) it was more like, every message and personal development audio I listened to recently seemed to point me in the direction of taking action and putting my skills to good use.
Therefore, this blog 'ifythereceiver.blogspot' is my attempt to do just that. The name 'ifythereceiver' serves and would continually serve as reminder to me and everyone who falls in love with the contents of this blog that anything good you see here came not from Ifeoma but from her heavenly father, thereby making Him the giver and Ifeoma the receiver and channel #IfUGetWhatIMean#. As a result the blog would serve as an avenue for sharing my thoughts and insights on events as I experience them or as my heavenly father specifically instructs/inspires. It will also serve as a means of improving my writing skills as I endeavor to write down my thoughts and idea in as clear and as engaging a manner as possible. I've also made a commitment to publish a post every first and third Friday of every month from now till............Will this blog make a difference in people's lives? YES. will it be centered around our heavenly father's heart and will for his beloved children as they sojourn on earth? YES. Will Ifeoma eventually start to make money directly off this blog? DON'T KNOW if that's part of its destiny #laughs#
