Avenue Lifestyle: Monday Night Goodnight PhotoCred: Unsplash Images Welcome to this pop up article.  This Monday night I'll be sharing a bit of insight into reflecting on our moments. We all wanna be someone great in our respective fields or expertise but at times we don't immediately land there. We start somewhere and feel held back, neglecting the preparation before the arrival.  Today you probably made plans to take steps towards your desired goal or you just added something new on your vision board or finally had the courage to take a leap of faith: texting your crush, applying for that job unless you're feeling like all you do is idle. Everyone else seems to have a sense of direction and purpose. They're checking in 5 star hotels, posting those lunch break selfies in their suits and you're just in your uniform as a waiter/waitress feeling like you're not where you're supposed to be. At home and watching everyone win, you're n...

Faith Avenue: Live For A Good Pay MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21ST, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: LIVE FOR A GOOD PAY! TEXT: [MSB] ISAIAH 3:10-11 "Reassure the righteous that their good living will pay off. But doom to the wicked! Disaster! Everything they did will be done to them. Both righteousness and wickedness have their rewards and it is the one a man lives for that will determine the kind of reward that he will receive. Righteousness is the same as godly living and good living while wickedness is the same as ungodly living and bad living. Righteousness comes with a good pay but wickedness comes with a bad pay. God rewards those who live righteously but He judges those who are wicked. Good and godly living commands huge blessing from the Lord and that is why it is very expedient for every Christ believer to stay committed to living righteously so that they can get a reward that will truly justify that they are righteous. According to the focal scripture...

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: DON'T PRETEND! TEXT: [NLT] ROMANS 12:9 Don't just pretend that you love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of the good. Showing love to others is something that so many people don't find it easy doing. Showing love to others as commanded by God must be done with absolute sincerity. Love must be without any iota of pretense. It's either you show love to others or you don't. Pretending to love others is hypocrisy of the highest order and it is actually very wrong anytime any day. The word coming to you today is that you shouldn't pretend that you love others when you can actually love them sincerely, deeply and truly. Anything whatsoever that God commands you to do, He doesn't want you to hide under pretense while doing it but to do it with sincerity and that is exactly what will ensure that you don't go unrewarded. According to th...

Avenue Music: Dangerous by Madison Beer Happy Friday and your weekend kick-starter is the fan favorite dreamy classic arrangement Dangerous by Madison Beer . It's such a delicate ballad that is soothing with these reflective sad lyrics about a lover who left her with a lot of questions and she ends up concluding she makes love dangerous. She's not blaming him but herself in this case, wondering if her passionate flame got destructive and burnt their love to ashes. She flows beautifully from the verses to the chorus and it has this fairytale touch to it as if you'd hear it on a theatrical Disney movie.                    Official Artwork.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE REALITY! TEXT: [NIV] PSALM 37:25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. It has never been on record that God has ever forsaken or abandoned the righteous. If God is ever going to consider forsaking a man, then it's not a righteous man because the only man that loves Him and seeks to do His will at all times is a man that is found to be righteous in all his ways. God doesn't forsake those who love Him. God stays and abides with those who loves Him and seeks to do His will at all times. You might have one or two people you have seen around who loves God and are doing His will at all times but are going through one challenge or the other. The truth is this: God never promised that the righteous won't get into trouble but He only promised that He would give them help in trouble. Psalm 60:11 According to the ...
