50 Shades of Grace

50 Shades of Grace

by Mo Isom Aiken | Featured, Love & Relationships, Pop Culture, Sex

When I opened the heavy door of the silver truck and a playing card fell out from the wad of papers and business cards and folders wedged behind the passenger seat… I’m thankful for 50 shades of grace. When my innocent eyes turned it over to see a man and...
How Warren Sapp just put a face on what America doesn’t want to believe

How Warren Sapp just put a face on what America doesn’t want to believe

by Mo Isom Aiken | Current Events, In The News, Pop Culture

“Maybe our country would actually start to listen if we made Warren Sapp the face of sex trafficking. We act like we’re so far removed from the multi-billion dollar industry. But it’s happening in your neighborhood, in your city, in the lives of the...

REBUKING with authority! // Why are we praying tim REBUKING with authority! // Why are we praying timid, gentle prayers when we see Jesus speak DIRECTLY to unclean spirits, fevers & infirmity and REBUKE them, commanding them to leave? We are intended to be doers of the Word, not just hearers, and that DOING applies to studying how, why and when Jesus said and did certain things, that we might imitate His operation with the authority He gave us from on High. Luke 4:31-42 gives powerful examples of demons cast out, fevers rebuked and physical healings occur. We’re told these types of signs will also follow those who believe. So, we would be wise to study the life of Christ so we can operate effectively as the Body of Christ here and now. It does not matter your “personality type” or “natural inclination”—it matters that you grasp the fullness of the authority of Christ within you and allow the Holy Spirit to minister through you in Jesus’ name! Rebuking and commanding with strength! I hope this teaching, testimonies and examples bless you.
YOU GUYS! 📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 Here in Lagos, ou YOU GUYS! 📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 Here in Lagos, our Marketplace Missions Inc. & Online Church family are excited to announce something we’ve been working hard on—our newest outreach initiative: Project 2025: Back-To-School Vaccinations ‼️ Nigeria has the highest burden of malaria IN THE WORLD, with over 23 million children contracting it annually. For many of those children, the hope of preventative vaccinations & curative meds to treat their illness is not feasible. But a child’s education should not be hindered by preventable illness! Our goal is to be the hands & feet of Jesus for these families by FREELY providing malaria, typhoid & cholera vaccinations through temp vaccine centers and mobile vaccine clinics for the students of Nigeria this coming year. The estimated cost to vaccinate one student is $25, and the vision is to vaccinate at least 5,000 students. Your donation of $25 will ensure that one child will receive the following, in a secure environment in his or her own community: - Full vaccination against Cholera, Malaria & Typhoid - Lunch - Health counseling - School supplies & book bag No amount is too small, and please remember that a little goes a long way! (All support is tax-deductible.) The ultimate need is $112,000, so let’s knock out $10,000 to kick off a great start!
Why are many eager to show what money can obtain t Why are many eager to show what money can obtain them, yet get uncomfortable talking about money when it comes to tithing and generosity? Do we truly understand that everything we have was given to us by God to be used and stewarded for PURPOSE? Do we truly understand the commands and invitations to GENEROSITY in the Word? Why are so many who have obeyed the Lord and laid down their lives to serve Him have to cry out for support and provision and help? Take inventory this year to see how what you are eager and willing to spend on SELF compares to what you have given to OTHERS without expectation of return, as well as given to the Kingdom to intentionally advance the Gospel. Let us not rob God, but be a radically generous people who build the Kingdom through our set-apart understanding of generosity!
SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER // Life lately. ☀️ Over th SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER // Life lately. ☀️ Over the past 2 months we have finally begun to find our stride here in Nigeria 🇳🇬. We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary, celebrated Asher’s 7th birthday, my 35th birthday, our mentor @pastorshademasha 60th birthday, and battled illness as a family followed by me personally battling a debilitating migraine on my bday. The kids have continued to thrive at their primary school & Auden won a city-wide award! Jeremiah & I have had the privilege of serving under our mentor @segunmasha leadership. We have developed out websites & helped administratively—listening and learning and GROWING and gleaning daily. (What a privilege it has been to be spiritually fed and led well.) We were also able to take a quick family getaway to @jarabeachresortng once we were all healthy. And we have finally found our rhythms in the “mundane” things—like identifying our grocery store, pharmacy and doctor’s office. We have finally established good work/life/school family rhythms and flow through the weeks, and our budget is finally starting to settle down and become more predictable. All of those things may seem small or insignificant, but they have been really beneficial in allowing us to feel stable and “at home” in a foreign land. There is a mental weight lifted and a feeling of safety that comes as things become familiar. Heading into November, I am really grateful we are finally “there” in this journey. There are many, many, many hard things here. Everything feels unnecessarily hard. Whether it’s specific to big city living, or Lagos living, or sojourner living…or a combination, I’m not entirely sure. But making it in Lagos is building a character, tenacity & grit in us that I think is only really acquired by fire. At the same time there are many, many, many holy things here. There is a prioritization and dependence on prayer unlike I’ve ever experienced before. Where we might seem “spiritually intense” in the US, we are extraordinarily spiritually average here 😂 I appreciate that so much. There is only room for growth here amongst the leadership we’re under. Thanks for continuing to support, encourage & pray for us! ♥️
A WAKE UP CALL FOR EVERY U.S. CHRISTIAN THIS HALLO A WAKE UP CALL FOR EVERY U.S. CHRISTIAN THIS HALLOWEEN // While you are busy trying to reckon with how much spiritual compromise is "okay" and quenching the Holy Spirit's conviction calling you to separate yourself from what's displeasing to God...ritualists, witches, warlocks and every other laborer for the Kingdom of darkness are fasting from food and water, spending 16+ hours summoning demonic principalities, and making blood sacrifices to move the agenda of darkness forward. Please watch this video from beginning to end, listen to what I am witnessing first-hand in Lagos, Nigeria, and learn the reality of what's happening in your own neighborhood. I challenge everyone who makes it through this whole video to re-count the cost of following Christ (Luke 14:28-33) and to examine yourselves to assure you are actually in Christ (2 Corinthians 13:5). We are intended to be a Kingdom army because the spiritual battle is VERY real...who is going to live, pray and fast like that matters?!
In honor of Asher’s 7th birthday today, here is In honor of Asher’s 7th birthday today, here is the cutest “day in the life” video she had to make as a school assignment here in Nigeria 😭😍 Obviously just a small peek into a weekend day for her, but listening to and watching this young girl flourish into who God made her to be is so surreal. Do you remember when she was bald-baby-Bruce-Willis who never smiled?! Do you remember when we almost lost her and she was in the ICU at 3 months old?! Look at her now! She is such a gift.
