Jola Speaks
Jola Speaks is a daily Podcast intended to grow and equip its listeners in their trust walk with God. The current focus is on obtaining clarity as we go through our individual processes with God - drop our own will, answering His calling, trusting Him and submitting to His Will. Why me? Why am I here? Why don’t I feel content with my achievements? What is happening to me? Why does my heart feel so heavy? What is wrong? Yes! we have so many questions, I have been there, I understand what you are going through, and you are not alone. I am by no means an expert and every episode is inspired by the Holy Spirit. Let us all learn together under the leading of the Holy Spirit. The podcast unexpectedly started in December 2022 Please listen to the first podcast titled My Podcast Testimony for the full story. I know you will be enlightened as you listen. Got questions? Please let me know.

The Gifts Of Men
2 Samuel 23:13-17 tells the story of three mighty men who demonstrated extraordinary loyalty and bravery to David. This passage beautifully illustrates the gift of men, particularly those who are divinely positioned to stand by us, strengthen us, and help fulfill God’s purpose in our lives.
When David expressed a longing for water from Bethlehem's well, his mighty men heard it not as a casual wish but as an opportunity to serve. They risked their lives, breaking through enemy lines to fulfill this desire.
How to Respond to the Gifts of Men
Gratitude to God: Acknowledge that the people around you are God’s provision and thank Him for the relationships He has given you.
Stewardship of Relationships: Like David, handle the gift of men with care and respect, recognizing their value and significance in your life.
The story of David and his mighty men shows us that the gifts of men are a divine blessing meant to help us fulfill God’s purposes. These gifts often come in the form of strength, sacrifice, loyalty, and encouragement. Let us recognize and honor these gifts, giving glory to God and striving to be gifts to others in turn.
By cherishing and stewarding the relationships God has entrusted to us, we can advance His kingdom and fulfill the calling He has placed on our lives.
