​ ARE YOUR STEPS OF THE GOOD PERSON  THAT  IS ORDERED BY THE LORD?
 A TV evangelist I listened to a while ago said that God is the opposite to how a satnav works. It will direct you all the way, step by step. But with God, we don’t audibly hear His directions all the way. He points the way to go and we are left to trust that whatever steps we make is right.
This calls for our trusting God. Every book we are writing is an unknown until it is finished and published. Looking back at leaving Nigeria 21 years ago to come to the UK, I ask myself if I am a risk taker. Did I place my faith in luck or God? Was I aware of the scripture above? Certainly not as I do now! God loves people who take bold actions and take the plunge in faith.
People were surprised when I came over to the UK in Jan 2003 leaving my family behind. My two youngest were 5 and 7 and the other three were in secondary school. I had no promise of a job, a home of my own or when my family would join me. I had stepped out knowing that God would sort it all out.  By June 2004, my family joined me in the UK, by God’s grace!!
As writers, we shouldn’t let fear keep us in the boat but like Apostle Peter reach out boldly to whatever God has called us to do in our writing carers. Doors will open to miracles and accomplishment of dreams! Can you take risks in your writing, try that genre you can’t venture into or start a writing group?  I urge you to step out of that boat and follow the calling of the Lord in spite of the waves!
I prophesy the next step and level in your writing career, more reviews, more books and great inspiration by God’s grace.  We trigger God’s favour and blessings when we apply the principle of faith in our writing.  When I took the step to write NaNoWriMo in Nov 22, God liked it and in 2 weeks, I completed a 50,000 words novel: Prophetess!
My prayer for you all is that God will continue to order your steps and you shall eat the fruit of your   labour. May He bless you mentally, emotionally, physically, financially and whatever your needs are. May we all soar in our writing careers in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
