WHEN HEAVEN DOWNLOADS POWER: REFILLING VS INFILLING. PART 6: WHEN THE SPIRIT SHINES THROUGH Acts 6:1-10 RECAP OF PART 5 In Part 5 , we explored the wall socket as a symbol of God, our ultimate power source. Just like a phone plugged into a socket through a charger, the believer must remain connected to God through Jesus to access divine strength. We learned that even the most anointed tool becomes powerless if unplugged from God. The Church in Acts grew because it was rooted in that divine source. Have you ever noticed how a phone emits a soft glowing light or a symbol when it’s charging? That glow isn’t the charge itself—it’s the evidence that charging is happening. In our spiritual journey, this glow is the presence of the Holy Spirit made visible in our lives. This is more than just being connected—it is the visible, tangible, and impactful expression of divine empowerment. The Holy Spirit doesn’t come into our lives to stay hidden. His presence is meant to transform us from within ...

THE SURROGATE JOURNEY: BIRTHING PURPOSE THROUGH OTHERS. 🍰 BONUS PART 8: MARY — THE ULTIMATE DIVINE CARRIER

THE SURROGATE JOURNEY: BIRTHING PURPOSE THROUGH OTHERS. 
🍰 BONUS PART 8: MARY — THE ULTIMATE DIVINE CARRIER


Luke 1:38, Galatians 4:4

And Mary said, ‘Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.’” — Luke 1:38 (KJV)


🔁 Quick Recap (From Part 7)

In Part 7, we explored the reward of spiritual surrogacy. We saw how God never forgets those who carry burdens for others — in prayer, mentoring, sacrifice, or intercession. Even when they don’t receive applause or credit, heaven remembers every push, every tear, and every hidden labor of love. The world may overlook silent carriers, but God crowns them with joy and eternal significance.



🌿 Mary: The Womb That Welcomed Heaven


She was young.

She was engaged.

She was ordinary.

Yet when God searched the earth for a womb, He chose Mary—not because of her status, but because of her surrender.


“Be it unto me according to thy word…” — that was her yes.

And with it, she became the greatest surrogate of divine destiny the world has ever known.

She didn’t initiate the seed.

She didn’t plan the mission.

But she carried the incarnation of God within her.



✨ What Makes Mary a Divine Surrogate?

In spiritual language, a surrogate carries something that is:

Not theirs by origin,

Meant for someone else,

Birthed for the world’s benefit.

That was Mary.

Heaven implanted the promise.

Mary carried it.

The world received it.

She didn't fully understand what she carried, but she carried it faithfully—from womb to cross.



💔 The Weight of Her “Yes”

Her yes cost her:

Her reputation (Who would believe her story?)

Her comfort (Pregnancy, travel, birth in a stable)

Her control (She raised the Son of God, but could not protect Him from the Cross)

Yet through her surrender, salvation entered history.




🙌🏽 Mary’s Legacy: The Handmaid of the Lord

She is not just a historical figure.

She is a template of spiritual motherhood:

Open to divine assignments,

Willing to carry what she doesn’t fully comprehend,

Ready to release what she’s carried into God’s hands.

She teaches us that true carriers don’t need the spotlight—just obedience and a heart ready to be overshadowed by the Spirit.




🧎🏽‍♀️Prayer:

Lord, make me like Mary—quiet, surrendered, willing. May I not seek the glory of the calling, but the grace to carry whatever You place inside me. I am Your handmaid. Be it unto me according to Your Word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.




📌 Devotional Nugget:

Mary didn’t just carry a baby. She carried the Kingdom. She didn’t give birth to a child—she gave birth to hope.




💬 Let’s Talk:

What is God asking you to carry that you don’t fully understand?

Are you willing to say “Yes” even when it costs you comfort or reputation?

Please kindly share your thoughts, testimonies, or questions—we grow better together.

Thank you!





Coming Next:

📖 Bonus Part 9: Simeon — The Watchman Who Waited

We’ll now meet a man who didn’t carry in his womb, but in his spirit. A faithful watchman who waited, prayed, and prophesied until the promise appeared.


“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman…” — Galatians 4:4 (NKJV)





Prince Julius Nenebi-Darkson 

(EL-PJ God's penman)

THE STORY: A FRIEND FACED WITH A HARD DECISION Romans 1:11-12 (NIV) "I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. Welcome to Part 8 of our Series, Jumpstarting Your Life: The Power of Divine Connection.  In Part 7 , we saw how my landlady’s son, who had once been stranded, later became a helper to another driver stuck in the mud . We learned that helping others after receiving help is a key principle of life , and sometimes, we must recognize when we need assistance instead of struggling alone. But what if the real issue isn’t about getting help but knowing when to move on? PART 8: WHEN IT’S TIME FOR AN UPGRADE—LETTING GO OF THE OLD TO EMBRACE THE NEW THE STORY: A FRIEND FACED WITH A HARD DECISION I have a friend named Kwame who had been driving an old car for years . It wasn’t just any car—it had been his first car, filled with memories. One day, after heavy rain, he...

JUMPSTARTING YOUR LIFE—THE POWER OF DIVINE CONNECTIONS PART 1: WHEN LIFE REFUSES TO START

THE STORY: A CAR THAT WOULDN’T START Romans 1:11-12 (NIV ) "I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith." One early morning, I was in my room when I noticed my landlady’s son struggling with his car. No matter how many times he turned the key, it refused to start. Minutes later, a co-tenant arrived with a car battery, connected it to his, and in seconds— boom ! The engine roared to life. It hit me: Sometimes, we need external help to restart what isn’t working in our lives. HAVE YOU EVER FELT STUCK? Just like that dead battery , life can sometimes feel like it just won’t start: Spiritually – Your passion for prayer and the Word feels drained. (“ Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” – John 15:5) Physically – You’re constantly exhausted, no matter how much you rest. (“Even youths grow weary, but those who wait on the Lord renew their strength.” – Isaiah 40:30-31...

DEALING WITH DIABETIC WOUNDS – A BALANCED DEVOTIONAL SERIES PART 1: RECOGNIZING THE WOUND – THE FIRST STEP To HEALING Revelation 2:4-5 "You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first."  Not every wound bleeds. Some deteriorate quietly beneath the surface—unseen, unfelt, and unspoken—until it's too late . Just like a diabetic wound that looks minor at first but spreads when ignored , many of life's deepest issues— spiritual, emotional, physical, and even national—start small . But delay is dangerous . Healing begins when we are humble and honest enough to recognize the wound. Key Scripture: " You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first." – Revelation 2:4-5 LIFE APPLICATION: Two years ago, a friend called me, asking for blood donation for his father-in-law, who was scheduled for a leg amputation at the 3...
