We’re living in a time where self-expression is everything. “Do you’, ‘Live your truth,’ and ‘No one can judge me” are phrases we hear every day on social media, in casual conversations, and even in church circles. While there’s beauty in authenticity and personal freedom, there’s also a subtle danger that creeps in when reverence for God is replaced with self-worship.

The fear of God is not a popular topic anymore. It’s often misunderstood as fear in the sense of being scared or punished. But scripturally, the fear of God is about deep respect, awe, and surrender to His authority. It’s knowing He is holy, and we are called to live in a way that honors Him, not just when it’s convenient or when people are watching, but all the time.

In today’s “do you” culture, we’ve become experts at curating our image and justifying our choices even when they contradict God’s Word. Boundaries are seen as judgmental, correction feels like an attack, and conviction is shrugged off as “negativity.” We’ve created a version of God that fits our lifestyle instead of shaping our lives to fit His Word.

But let’s be honest—can we really call Him Lord if we only listen when it’s easy?

The truth is, walking in the fear of God doesn’t mean losing yourself; it means finding your true self in Him. It means honoring Him with your choices, not just your captions. It means revering His Word, even when it challenges you. It’s living a life that says, “Not my will, but Yours be done.”

This isn’t about living in fear, it’s about living with intention. The fear of God brings wisdom, peace, and divine alignment. It helps us pause before we post, think before we speak, and check our hearts before we compromise.

So, in a generation that’s all about doing you, don’t forget who you belong to. Do you, but do it in the fear of God. That’s where real freedom and purpose begin.

This year’s Met Gala theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, paid homage to the rich history of Black dandyism — a celebration of sharp tailoring, expressive fashion, and the cultural genius that has long shaped global style. But while fashion’s biggest night lit up the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Sarah Jakes Roberts and Touré Roberts brought that same spirit of elegance, culture, and creativity straight to the ‘gram.

The couple showed up and showed out, posting looks that were not just stunning but deeply rooted in heritage and honour. Touré Roberts used the moment to shine a light on the man behind the magic — his longtime stylist, J.Bolin.Touré and Sarah Roberts in black elegance

In a powerful tribute, Touré wrote:

It’s not what J puts on people. It’s what he pulls out of them — confidence, story, and soul.

That line alone speaks volumes about what Black fashion truly is, not just what you wear, but who you are while wearing it. As the Met Gala spotlighted Black designers and artistry, Touré chose to highlight the man behind his personal style evolution — a stylist who doesn’t just put together outfits, but helps people step into identity, walk in legacy, and dress with purpose.

He weaves identity and excellence into every thread,” Touré added, honoring J.Bolin’s work as more than fashion — it’s ministry, it’s storytelling, it’s art.

In a world where style often gets reduced to aesthetics, this moment was a powerful reminder: Fashion is cultural, spiritual, and generational. It can clothe not just the body, but confidence, faith, and calling.

So while the red carpet dazzled with feathers and flair, the Roberts’ reminded us that some of the most meaningful fashion statements are the ones made with honor, intention, and legacy in mind.Touré and Sarah Roberts bring met gala to instagramHere’s to the ones who style not just looks but legacy.

In today’s digital world, personal branding is more than aesthetics, follower counts, or perfectly curated posts. For the Christian woman in business, it’s about something deeper, being a vessel for God in the marketplace.

You’re not just a businesswoman, you’re a vessel. Your brand isn’t about popularity, it’s about purpose. And in that purpose lies power, the kind that influences, inspires, and ultimately points people back to Christ. Whether you’re building from scratch or scaling a long-standing dream, your branding should be a reflection of the One who called you to this space.

Let people see Christ through your creativity, consistency, and courage. When your work is rooted in faith and values, it shows. Lead with your values, not just your voice. Honesty, honour, excellence, these aren’t just traits, they’re pillars of a powerful brand that lasts. They are what make your brand trustworthy, magnetic, and spirit-led.

Your story is your strategy. Don’t underestimate the testimony in your journey. Share the lessons, pivots, growth, and God-moments that have shaped your path. In a world obsessed with perfection, realness resonates. Vulnerability connects. And God gets the glory when people see how far He’s brought you.

Invite God into the process. Before you launch, post, pitch, or pivot — pray. Ask for wisdom, discernment and direction. A God-led brand moves with clarity and peace. You don’t need to hustle aimlessly when heaven is guiding your steps.

Don’t hide the faith that built you. You don’t have to choose between being “professional” and being vocal about your beliefs. Let your light shine, respectfully, unapologetically. Show up with boldness and boundaries. God didn’t give you a voice to whisper.

Be visible. Be valuable. But also protect your peace, online and off. Your peace is a priority. And in business, peace and productivity can co-exist. Boundaries are holy. Use them.

Let excellence be your evangelism. Deliver top-tier service. Communicate clearly. Stay consistent. Sometimes the best sermon is how well you show up. When people encounter your brand, let them encounter the spirit of excellence, the fruit of the Spirit, and a standard that reflects God’s goodness.

You’re building a legacy, not just a brand. Your business is an assignment. Your influence is a seed. Think long term. Think kingdom. Think generational impact. What you’re doing isn’t just for visibility, it’s for eternity.

The Looks That Shut It Down at the Met Gala 2025 https://queenmoremi.com/2025/05/the-looks-that-shut-it-down-at-the-met-gala-2025/ https://queenmoremi.com/2025/05/the-looks-that-shut-it-down-at-the-met-gala-2025/#respond Tue, 06 May 2025 09:23:26 +0000 https://queenmoremi.com/?p=5693 On May 5th, the fashion world turned its eyes to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City as stars gathered for the 2025 Met Gala.…

On May 5th, the fashion world turned its eyes to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City as stars gathered for the 2025 Met Gala. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, came with a dress code of “Tailored for You”, and let’s just say — our faves understood the assignment.

From sharp silhouettes to reimagined suiting, the night was a celebration of Black fashion history, individuality, and the joy of dressing up. Here are the looks we couldn’t stop talking about:

Zendaya showing off her engagement ringZendaya gave us vintage cool in a crisp white three-piece zoot suit, custom Louis Vuitton by Pharrell. From the wide-brimmed hat to the sparkling brooch pinned under her collar, it was every bit as slick as it was symbolic. And yes — that red manicure and new engagement ring made it even more iconic.

Rihanna showing off her baby bumpRihanna and A$AP Rocky revealed baby number three is on the way ahead of the carpet, and Rih didn’t disappoint. She debuted her bump in a layered Marc Jacobs look: bustier, black skirt, cropped jacket — topped with a tie and a sculptural hat by Stephen Jones. A moment!

Lupita Nyong'o at the Met Gala 2025Lupita Nyong’o lit up the carpet in a monochromatic Chanel suit in pastel green. The tailoring was impeccable, and the mini bolero hat? A cherry on top.

Tems at the Met Gala 2025Tems gave us culture and couture in a deep blue patterned shirt dress by Ozwald Boateng — complete with a matching umbrella. Artistry in motion.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie at the 2025 Met GalaChimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who was on the host committee, reminded us that feathers are forever in a fiery red ballgown with bows, feathered accents, and De Beers jewels that whispered: elegance, but make it African storytelling.

Savannah James at the Met Gala And we can’t forget Savannah James, who made her Met Gala debut in a show-stopping burgundy suit-inspired gown by Hanifa. The pinstripe jacket, exposed boning, and full mermaid skirt made it equal parts soft and structured — everything the theme called for.

If this year’s Met taught us anything, it’s that tailoring isn’t just about seams and stitches — it’s about storytelling, and our people told it well.

Faith-based Nollywood movies used to have a reputation for being slow and preachy. Nollywood’s newer faith-inspired films? They’re bold, emotional, relatable… and yes, you’ll probably cry and rethink your life.

If you’ve been craving stories that hold your faith and your real-life struggles — love, loss, career delays, purpose, healing — these ones deliver. They’re not just sermons in film form. They’re real stories, full of flaws, tension, hope, and God.

Here are 7 Nigerian movies to add to your watchlist immediately (yes, even if you weren’t planning to).

1. God Calling
Stream on: official Godcalling website
Depression. Grief. A literal phone call from God.
This is not your typical “glow up and find Jesus” story. It’s messy, emotional, beautifully shot, and it follows a woman whose world falls apart — until Heaven interrupts. A visual masterpiece with real spiritual depth. You’ll feel this one in your chest.

God Calling, faith based Nollywood movie

2. The Wait
Watch on: Netflix
The name alone is triggering, yes, but this one’s for anyone who’s been trusting God through tears. Infertility, delay, disappointment — it’s all here. But so is hope, woven with scriptures, friendship, and honesty. You’ll walk away with more faith and possibly puffy eyes.

The Wait, faith based Nollywood movie

3. Silver Ever After
Watch on: YouTube 
No, marriage doesn’t magically fix everything. This film explores what happens when love gets tired. A middle-aged couple, now empty nesters, have to fight for their “happily ever after.” It’s emotional, grown, and will make you realize how underrated communication and Jesus really are.Silver Ever After, Faith based Nollywood movie      4. Breath of Life
Streaming on Prime Video
Whew. This one is quiet, slow-burning, and then boom — it grabs your spirit. It’s about purpose, destiny, and how one must live to fulfill their assignment. The cinematography is STUNNING.Breath of life, Nigerian movie    5. You May Only Kiss the Bride
Watch on: YouTube
A romantic Christian film? Yes please. But this one’s not just about butterflies — it’s about self-worth, wholeness, and dating with your brain and your Bible. It’s playful and sweet, but the message sticks: Work on yourself. Trust God. And don’t lower your standard for vibes.You may only kiss the bride, faith based Nigerian movie

6. The Man of God
Watch on: Netflix
Think modern prodigal son but with a twisge. A preacher’s kid ditches faith for fame, fortune, and vibes. But you already know God doesn’t let go that easy. Dramatic? Yes. Imperfect? Absolutely. But underneath all the flash is a story about identity and redemption. You’ll yell at the screen, then sit quietly when it ends.

Man of God, faith based Nigerian movie

 

Faith-based doesn’t mean flat. These movies carry something — healing, conviction, or just the reminder that you’re not alone in your story.
So light a candle, grab snacks, and stream something that’ll feed more than just your screen time.

Work can be a lot. Emails that won’t stop, back-to-back meetings, chatty coworkers when you’re on edge, and a to-do list that keeps growing even after 5pm. But in the middle of all that chaos, there are small, beautiful things that make the day feel a little lighter.

If you’re a 9–5 girl, here’s a survival kit that won’t magically clear your inbox, but will help you feel more in control, grounded, and a little bit softer through the madness.

  1. Your Go-To Work Bag
    Not the cute bag that barely fits your lip balm, we’re talking your real one. The one that fits your water bottle, charger, notebook, and snacks. She’s reliable. She’s organized. She’s giving “I’ve got my life together” even when you don’t.
  2. A Feel-Good Playlist
    There’s a difference between surviving the day and strutting through it. Whether it’s gospel or Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, a curated playlist is pure mood management. Add headphones. Instant atmosphere.
  3. A Signature Scent
    Spritz something that makes you feel expensive, even if your bank account says otherwise. Smelling good = feeling good. It’s science.
  4. Lip Gloss, Edge Control & Hand Cream                                                                                              We call these the “3 Holy Girls.” They come out after lunch, before a meeting, or when you just need to remind yourself that yes, you are still that girl even under fluorescent lighting.
  5. A Sanity-Saving App
    Whether it’s a note app for brain dumps, a finance tracker, or a daily devotional notification, tech can bless you. Use your phone to help, not just distract
  6. The Little Snack Drawer
    Biscuits, chocolates, chewing gum, or a small stash of chin-chin because being “hangry” in a meeting never ends well. Feed your soul and your stomach.
  7. A Daily Reset Ritual
    It could be your 10-minute morning coffee routine, a lunchtime walk, or listening to a podcast on your commute home. Build a rhythm that reminds you: you are more than your job, and rest is part of the work.

As we return to work after Workers’ Day, this is your reminder that you deserve ease, even in the middle of responsibility. You’re not just clocking in, you’re showing up, holding space, building something. So yes, get the lip gloss and the playlist. Romanticize the emails. Wear your scent with purpose. You’re doing great.

There’s something about the right song at the right moment. Whether you’re deep in prayer, driving in silence, or washing plates with one AirPod in, gospel music has a way of meeting you where you are.

If your playlist’s been on autopilot lately, this is your sign to refresh it. These are the gospel songs currently doing what they need to do — stirring spirits, shifting moods, and reminding us who’s really in control. No skips, no fillers. Just music that ministers.

  1. “Judah” – Dunsin Oyekan
    If your spirit has been feeling sluggish, start here. “Judah” isn’t your regular worship song; it’s atmosphere-shifting. Dunsin comes in with that prophetic, bold sound that stirs something in you. It’s part intercession, part praise, part warfare. A true sound of release. Don’t be surprised if you end up pacing the room.
  2. “Yeshua” – Sunmisola Agbebi
    Sunmisola’s voice? Graceful and commanding. “Yeshua” carries presence, plain and simple. It doesn’t need hype or theatrics, it just pulls you into deep worship. If you’ve ever needed a song that says so much with so little, this is it. There’s a reason this one is on everyone’s lips right now.
  3. “Firm Foundation (He Won’t)” – Maverick City Music
    This is one of those songs that feels like spiritual reassurance in musical form. The lyrics are simple: He won’t fail. But it’s the build, the harmonies, and the raw vocal power that make it so repeat-worthy. Whether you’re up or down, this track meets you and lifts your perspective every time.
  4. “Holy” – Micah Stampley
    “Holy” is the kind of worship that doesn’t ask for attention; it commands it. The purity, the stillness, the reverence. It’s the kind of track that calms your thoughts and makes you feel like God is that close. Perfect for when you need to quiet the noise.
  5. “Yahweh Sabaoth” – Nathaniel Bassey
    This one’s calm but weighty. If you’ve been in a season of needing spiritual strength or reassurance, this song will speak directly to that place. “Yahweh Sabaoth” reminds you of God’s authority, and somehow it does that without being too loud. It’s strong, intentional, and full of revelation.
  6. “That’s My King” – CeCe Winans
    Now this is a praise anthem. It’s full, bright, and joyful. CeCe’s delivery is so confident, like someone who knows who her King is. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to dance in your room, cry a little, and just whisper, “thank you, Jesus.” Simple. Pure. Powerful.

Your Playlist Deserves Better

These aren’t just feel-good tracks. They’re the kind of songs that shift your focus, carry truth, and stir something deeper. So if your spirit’s been dry or you just want to fall in love with gospel songs again, start here. Let these sounds meet you where you are and lift you higher.

Real estate is often seen as the ultimate investment goal, but the truth is, not everyone is in a season where they can buy land or property. That doesn’t mean you have to sit on the sidelines while your money stays idle. There are still smart, accessible ways to invest and build your future without needing millions upfront. Here are three affordable investment options worth considering.

  1. Mutual Funds

Mutual funds allow you to invest in a basket of assets like stocks, bonds, and other securities, without needing to pick or manage them yourself. It’s an easy entry point because you can start small, sometimes with as little as ₦5,000 or $10, depending on your platform. A professional fund manager handles the heavy lifting, which makes it a great option if you’re just starting your investment journey or want something hands-off that still grows your wealth over time.

  1. Treasury Bills and Government Bonds

If you’re looking for stability and low risk, treasury bills (T-bills) and government bonds are reliable options. With treasury bills, you’re lending money to the government for a short period and earning interest on it. Bonds typically work over longer terms but offer predictable returns. Platforms like Cowrywise and some local banks make it easy to start investing without needing a large sum. It’s a steady way to grow your money while protecting your peace of mind.

  1. High-Yield Savings Accounts and Money Market Funds

Not every smart move involves high risk. High-yield savings accounts and money market funds offer better interest rates than regular savings accounts while keeping your money relatively safe. These options are ideal for short-term goals or emergency savings, giving you passive income with easy access when needed. In Nigeria, apps like PiggyVest, Risevest, and Bamboo give you simple access to money market funds with minimal starting amounts.

The Bottom Line

You don’t have to wait until you can afford property to start investing wisely. Building wealth is about consistency, not just big moves. Start where you are, grow steadily, and position yourself for the bigger investments when the time comes. Every seed you plant now is preparing you for a future harvest.

Bishop T.D Jakes, after decades of leading one of the most influential churches in America, has officially announced he is stepping down as the senior pastor of The Potter’s House in Dallas. The emotional announcement was made during a special service on Sunday, marking a new chapter for Bishop Jakes and the ministry he founded nearly 30 years ago.

In a moment filled with reflection and vision, Bishop T.D Jakes shared that his daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, along with her husband, Touré Roberts, will step into church leadership starting this July. The announcement comes just months after Bishop Jakes experienced a serious health scare, a massive heart attack that doctors later told him could have been fatal if he had arrived at the hospital just five minutes later.

Sarah Jakes Roberts and Toure Roberts will step into church leadership at The Potter's House ChurchDespite stepping down from daily pastoral duties, Bishop Jakes will remain closely connected to the ministry. He will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board and as a spiritual overseer, guiding while also expanding his broader ministry work, including the launch of a new podcast with iHeartMedia.

Founded in 1996, The Potter’s House has grown to a global movement, with over 30,000 members across multiple campuses in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Denver. Passing the mantle to the next generation signals not just a change in leadership, but a multiplying of the church’s impact. “Leadership is not static; it is dynamic,” Bishop Jakes shared. “It demands the courage to evolve.”

The congregation responded with a mix of gratitude and hope, grateful for Bishop Jakes’ decades of faithfulness, and hopeful for the future under Sarah and Touré’s leadership. As the legacy continues, Bishop Jakes’ life and ministry remain a powerful reminder that true leadership is about preparing others to carry the vision even further.

As one chapter closes, another begins, and through it all, the impact of Bishop T.D. Jakes’ ministry continues to echo across generations.

It’s not always loud. It’s not always dramatic. No big announcement. No angry goodbye post. Just… silence. One Sunday becomes two. Then three. Then it’s been six months, and you’re watching sermons in bed with a muted screen and your heart halfway out the door.

This is the quiet quitting that’s happening in churches today, and not just among the occasional churchgoers, but among women who once led small groups, served faithfully, gave generously, and showed up consistently. Christians who love Jesus deeply, but for one reason or another, don’t feel at home in church anymore.

Some have left because of burnout. They gave and gave until they felt invisible. Others left because of church hurt, the kind that doesn’t always make headlines, but leaves real bruises. Judgment dressed up as concern. Gossip behind the guise of accountability. Leadership that demanded loyalty but offered no real support. Moments where vulnerability was met with silence or worse, shame. And then some simply drifted. Life changed. Priorities shifted. And now they’re wondering if anyone even noticed they stopped coming.

But this isn’t about blame. This is about honesty.

Because underneath it all is a longing, a longing for connection, for truth that isn’t sugarcoated or performative. A desire to be seen, not just for what you can do, but for who you really are. A hunger for a church that doesn’t just preach community, but embodies it.

And what does all of this say about us Christians?

It says that many of us are exhausted with religion that feels mechanical. We’re tired of the pressure to perform. We’re craving depth. We want sermons that speak to our real lives, mental health, questions, and disappointments. We want leaders who are honest about their own struggles. We want safe spaces, not just structured services.

But here’s the twist: many of us who’ve quietly stepped back still love Jesus. Still pray. Still worship. Still hope. We just don’t know where we fit anymore. And that’s the tension: loving God, but feeling distant from His people.

So what now?

If you’re the one who’s stepped back, know this: you’re not strange, or broken, or faithless. You’re human. And maybe this is your pause, but not your end. Don’t give up on the body of Christ. Maybe you just need to heal. Maybe you need something smaller, slower, more honest.

The church is not perfect, but Christians are meant to support, uplift, and walk alongside each other. Scripture reminds us not to forsake the gathering of fellow believers (Hebrews 10:25), not out of obligation, but because community is one of the ways God heals, strengthens, and grows us. 

If church hurt is what’s keeping you away, consider talking to someone you trust in the faith community or seeking counsel. Healing often begins with honest conversations, even with leaders you may feel betrayed by. Pray for restoration, ask God to give you the courage to confront the pain, and allow Him to guide you through it.

And if you’re still plugged in and wondering why people are drifting, check in. Reach out. Not to fix them, but to see them. Ask better questions. Make space for honest answers. Be the kind of church you wish you had when you were struggling.

Quiet quitting doesn’t have to be the last chapter. Maybe it’s just the part where we rewrite how we do community—less pressure, more presence. Less hype, more healing. Less perfect church girl energy. More grace.
