Ep 147: Stop Refusing Help | You Were Never Meant To Bear The Burden Alone (part 2)
Why are you trying to carry all these burdens alone? God puts us in families and communities for a reason. This week, be intentional about reaching out for help when you need it. And just as importantly, be someone who helps lighten the load of others.
In this episode of Mayokun's Memos, we look at the example of David and his mighty men. Even before David asked, his men were ready to stand with h
Ep 146: You Were Never Meant to Bear the Burden Alone | Let God Help You
Stop trying to do everything by yourself. Let God help you. What's the point of having a Helper living inside of you if you never actually look to Him for help?
This week's episode is an encouragement to anyone who has been carrying their burdens alone. You don't have to keep doing it. You can hand that burden over to God today and allow Him to help you.
Ep 145: Use what you have | What's in your hand?
God loves a partnership. He'll send the wind to part the Red Sea, but He'll still ask Moses to raise the rod in his hand. He'll multiply the bread and fish to feed the 5,000, but He'll still ask you to bring what you have.
So, what is the Lord asking you to bring, do, or use? Yes, you're waiting for a miracle, but maybe He's waiting for you to act too.
Ep 144: Are you with Him though?
Many of us are actively doing things for God. We serve, we minister, and we get involved in all sorts of activities for Him. But are we spending enough time with Him?
This week’s episode is a reminder of the importance of fellowship and intimacy with Jesus. You cannot be an ambassador for someone you do not know. It’s time to pay attention to your relationship with Him, not just your service to Hi
Ep 143: Excellence glorifies God | Stop slacking
Let's talk about excellence. This week, we look at Bezalel, a man God specifically gifted with exceptional craftsmanship to build the tabernacle. Excellence can glorify God too. You can be a Christian and pursue excellence. In fact, you should. Stop slacking.
Ep 142: God is not an excuse for laziness | You still have to work
This week’s episode is for anyone who has allowed laziness to creep in. Joseph clearly had God with him, but where God took him still required hard work. From managing Potiphar’s household to serving as governor in Egypt, Joseph had serious responsibilities.
Being a believer and having the Spirit of God in you does not mean hard work goes out the window.
Ep 141: "I don't want to shine" | When you'd rather hide
Scripture, and probably loads of sermons you’ve heard, have told you to arise and shine. But what about when you just don’t want to shine? When you’d rather hide or run away?
This week’s episode of Mayokun’s Memos addresses those feelings and reminds you of who God has called you to be. You are light, even when you don’t feel like shining.
Ep 140: God is with you | Even when you don't feel Him
It’s easy to acknowledge and believe that God is with you when things are going well. But what about when bad things happen? Is He still with you then?
This week’s episode is a reminder that God’s presence is not conditional on the circumstances around you. He is with you whether you feel Him or not. The sooner you realise this, the sooner you can experience the joy and strength that comes from kn
Ep 139: Open my eyes | Seeing what God is doing
“Lord, help me to see.” This week and last week’s episodes are all about sight. So much unnecessary fear and anxiety can come when we fail to see what God is doing and forget that He is still present.
Like Elisha’s servant, we can find ourselves afraid simply because we cannot see what is already around us. So this week, the prayer is simple: Lord, help me to see.
Ep 138: "Lord, help me to see" | A prayer against spiritual blindness
“Lord, help me to see.” This week and next week’s episodes are all about sight. So much unnecessary fear and anxiety can come when we fail to see what God is doing and forget that He is still present.
Like Elisha’s servant, we can find ourselves afraid simply because we cannot see what is already around us. So this week, the prayer is simple: Lord, help me to see.
Ep 137: You have to remember | The power of testimonies
You have to remember. Remember what God has done for you. Remember how He has shown up for you. Remember that He is faithful.
This week's episode is all about the importance of recounting your testimonies. When your faith feels weak, looking back at God's faithfulness can give you the strength you need to keep trusting Him.
Ep 136: Cast not away your confidence | Is your faith under attack?
This week's episode is an encouragement not to cast away your confidence. In seasons of suffering and trials, this is the time to hold on to your faith, not let go of it.
The enemy may use job loss, financial troubles, relationship issues and other difficulties to shake you, but don't lose sight of what is really at stake: your faith. Hold on tightly. Don't cast away your confidence.
Ep 135: Don't despise it! pt 2 | Being faithful with the little
"Do not despise the day of small beginnings" (Zechariah 4:10). But what happens when those "small beginnings" last weeks, months, years, or even decades? If you're feeling tired or discouraged, this week's episode is for you. Don't let discouragement cause you to despise what God has entrusted to you. Stay faithful with the little, because God sees it all.
Ep 134: Speak, and keep on speaking | The power of the tongue
Speak, and keep on speaking. Your words matter. Scripture tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue, and we will eat the fruit of what we speak. If you want to see life, make it your mission to continually declare the Word of God. This week's episode is a reminder that your words have the power to shape your life.
Ep 133: God wants to use you
God wants to use you. Christ lives in you, and He wants to be revealed through your life. Don't leave the responsibility of expressing Christ to a select few "special" believers. That's not what Scripture teaches.
This week's episode is a reminder that wherever you are, God wants to make Himself known through you.
Ep 132: Don't be afraid of getting it wrong
This week's episode is for anyone who desperately wants to do God's will but is so afraid of getting it wrong that they've stopped moving altogether. Fear has left you frozen.
Today, God is reminding you not to be afraid. He loves you too much to abandon you, even if you make a mistake
Ep 131: What are you chasing? pt 2 | Guard against greed
This week, we continue where we left off by examining our desires. Has greed quietly crept into your heart, or can you genuinely say that Christ is enough? Jesus plus nothing is everything. This episode is a call to guard your heart and pursue what truly lasts.
Ep 130: What are you chasing? | pt 1 Check your priorities
Is Jesus truly your priority, or has He become an add-on to your life? Someone to include in your bio rather than the centre of your life?
This week's episode invites you to pause and reflect. What are you really chasing? And does your pursuit reflect your priorities?
Ep 129: What are you building on? | Will your faith last?
"Storms reveal what seasons conceal." That phrase stuck with me. It's easy to think our faith is strong until life tests it.
This week's episode is a reminder to examine the foundation you're building on. Is your life built on Jesus' words, and are you acting on them? Because when the storms come, only one foundation will stand.
Ep 128: Is it that deep though? | Stop worrying
"Is it that deep though?" It may sound harsh, but it's a question many of us need to ask ourselves when worry starts to take over. Jesus tells us not to worry, but to seek first His Kingdom. This week's episode is a reminder to stop giving your worries so much attention and start placing your trust in God.
Ep 127: You may not see wind | God can surprise you
This week’s episode is for anyone who has been trusting God to come through in a specific area of life. Sometimes it feels like nothing is happening, but that doesn’t mean God is absent. His promises are never empty. Even when you can’t see the wind, God is still able to move in ways you didn’t expect. Don’t lose hope. God can surprise you.
Ep 126: The slippery slope of sin | Kill it at the root
Sin can be a slippery slope. It rarely starts with a big decision. More often, it begins with small compromises that we tolerate and entertain. This week’s episode is a reminder to deal with sin at the root. It might be a TV show, an artist you listen to, or something else that is stirring up sinful desires in you. Whatever it is, if it is drawing you away from God, it has to go.
Ep 125: Find strength in the Lord | Don't give up
David came home to a burnt town. His wives and children were gone. Even his own men wanted to stone him. Yet in the midst of that devastating situation, David found strength in the Lord. This week’s episode is for anyone going through a tough season and thinking about giving up. There is strength available to you in God. Like David, you can find the courage to keep going, even when everything arou
Ep 124: Who are you listening to? | You need wise counsel
God can speak to you through people, so don’t neglect wise counsel. It is not a flex to handle everything on your own. God placed us in community for a reason. At the same time, not all counsel is godly counsel, so discernment matters. This week’s episode is all about counsel and wisdom.
Ep 123: What moves you? | Have you lost your compassion?
In a world where we are constantly exposed to bad news, pain, and suffering through social media, is it possible that we’re becoming desensitised? Even as believers, have we slowly stopped being moved by the things that once stirred our hearts? This week’s episode is a reminder that compassion still matters. As followers of Christ, we are called to care, to feel, and to respond.

Ep 122: It's not about you | Your weakness is not the focus
This week’s episode is for the people who are so focused on their inadequacies that they’ve forgotten it was never really about them. It’s about the God who is backing you and partnering with you. Your weaknesses do not disqualify you when God is involved. Stop focusing so much on what you lack and remember who is with you.
Ep 121: Have you prayed about it though? | Complaining won't fix it
“Have you prayed about it though?” - The next time you catch yourself about to complain, pause and ask yourself that question. For many of us, complaining has become second nature, but the Word of God instructs us to do all things without complaining (Philippians 2:14). Constant complaining can be a sign that something is off in the control centre: your heart. This week’s episode is a reminder to
Ep 120: Why not me? | Stop comparing and keep your eyes on Jesus
Good things are happening for other people, and suddenly 'the pressure is getting worser.' This week’s episode is for anyone who feels caught in the comparison trap. God is calling you back to fix your eyes on Him and Him alone. Don’t trip by focusing on what’s happening in someone else’s life.
Ep 119: When life feels boring | Keep the faith
Having faith in what God has promised can feel easier when something is happening, when there is movement or progress. But what about when life feels quiet? When everything feels repetitive, slow, and a bit mundane? What do you do then? This week’s episode is for anyone in that season. If things feel slow right now, this one is for you.
Ep 118: It's not too late | Come back to God
This week’s episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve drifted. Life happened, habits slipped, and now there’s a weight of shame and disappointment that’s hard to shake. If that’s you, I want you to know this. It’s not too late. Jesus hasn’t changed His mind about you. He is still calling you, and you can come back to Him.
Ep 117: "God, are You there?"
“God, are you there?” is a question we can sometimes find ourselves asking. His answer is always yes. The idea that God has abandoned you is a lie that needs to be replaced with the truth that He cannot forget you. You’re locked in. He is Emmanuel, God with us. I pray this episode encourages you.
Ep 116: God doesn't bite
This week, we’re unpacking how we see God and correcting it. God doesn’t “bite.” He isn’t waiting to shut you down or shame your questions. He actually wants you to come to Him openly and honestly, even with the things you think are too small or too silly. That unhealthy fear needs to go. This episode is about stepping into freedom and real relationship with Him.
Ep 115: The battle for your mind | Don't let the enemy in
If you wanted to weaken an army, you would target its control centre. In the same way, your mind is your control centre. That’s why the enemy fights so hard for it. But scripture reminds us that we have the mind of Christ. It’s time to guard your mind well and be intentional about what you allow to take root in it.
Ep 114: It won't always be like this | Finding hope in tough times
If you're in a season where everything feels heavy and the light at the end of the tunnel seems far away, this episode is for you. This week's memo is a reminder that it will not always be like this. God is involved in your situation, and He will perfect all that concerns you.
Ep 113: Who sent you? | Only God's approval matters
This week's memo is a reminder that you don't need to be chasing people's approval for the work God has sent you to do. Since He is the commissioner, His validation is the one that matters. Go listen now and be delivered from the pressure of people-pleasing.
Ep 112: I dare you to hope
This week’s episode is for anyone who has been feeling hopeless. In it, I dare you to hope in God. Why? Because He is faithful. Because He will never fail you. When everything feels uncertain, His love remains constant.
“Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.” – Lamentations 3:21–22
Ep 111: God cares, so I don't have to
God cares about you, so you don’t have to carry it all on your own. You don’t have to keep worrying about the things that have been taking up space in your mind. This week’s episode encourages you to release your burdens and give your worries to the One who is fully able to take care of them.
"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” – 1 Peter 5:7
Ep 110: "God, I'll do it later" | What are you waiting for?
This week’s episode is for those who have become too comfortable with procrastinating, especially when it comes to what God has instructed them to do. Aren’t you tired of making excuses? It’s time to act.
“Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.” - Ecclesiastes 11:4
Ep 109: Your disobedience goes beyond you | Get back in alignment with God!
We’re continuing our series on obedience, looking at how your obedience or disobedience goes beyond you. There are people God wants to reach through you. So the question is, will you be so self-centred as to say no?
This week’s episode is a reminder that obeying God should not be optional. Get uncomfortable with being disobedient.
Ep 108: When God's instruction doesn't make sense | Living a life of obedience
So you want to live a life of obedience? What about when the instructions that come from God seem to make no sense? In this week’s episode, we look at two examples where it would have lowkey been a valid response for the people to tell Jesus, “Are you crazy?” Instead, they chose to obey His instructions and, of course, they never regretted it.
Ep 107: When God says, 'Move' | Being in alignment is a constant process
You can be somewhere for a season and it’s good, but we have to continuously seek God to know when it’s time to move. We must be people who live lives of constant alignment with Him. In this week’s episode, the encouragement is simple: when God says move, you move.
Special Ep 106: What are you doing down there? | THE LIVE SHOW RECORDING
This week’s very special live episode is a call to arise. What are you doing down there? Your light, Christ, has come. It’s time to wake up to the reality that you have been translated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. That means you are no longer friends with sin, anxiety, or small mindsets. Arise and shine!
Ep 105: Living a life of obedience | Don’t edit God’s instructions
This week’s memo is all about obedience. God told Moses to speak to the rock, but he chose to strike it. Although it still produced results, it was an act of disobedience. How many of us have done the same, blending God’s clear instructions with our own wisdom? It’s time to live a life of complete obedience.
Ep 104: There is more | Going deeper with God
Maybe 2025 felt like the best year you’ve ever had. Maybe it felt like the worst. Either way, God is reminding us this week that there is always more of Him to experience. Don’t give in to hopelessness, and don’t reach a place of complacency. Let’s hunger for more, because God is ready to give it to us.
Ep 103: Which voice are you? | Being the voice of hope in a storm
If someone were in a bad place and picked up the phone to call you, which voice would they hear? Would your words impart grace and steady their heart, or would they unintentionally stir more anxiety? In this week’s memo, we read Acts 27, where Paul, in the midst of a near-death situation, chose to speak life. His words brought hope and courage to those in the storm with him.

Ep 102: Who will you serve? | Being led by the Spirit
In 2026 and beyond, the choice is yours. Every day, you will either serve the flesh or walk by the Spirit. Will anger, drunkenness, gluttony, and other works of the flesh control your life, or will the fruit of the Spirit be produced in you? In this episode, I challenge you to live intentionally and submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Ep 101: The economy of God's love
What does economics have to do with the love of God? More than you might think. In this week’s memo, we talk about how God’s love is produced, consumed, and exported and why understanding it is so important. The way we receive God’s love affects how we walk with Him and how we treat the people in our lives.

Ep 100: Who told you? | Be careful whose voice you are listening to
Is it everybody we must listen to? The scene between Eve and the serpent in the garden of Eden makes the answer clear. No. We must guard our ears and our hearts and be careful about the voices we allow in. Any voice that contradicts the Word of God has no place in our lives. Let God's voice be the loudest. Let His voice guide your decisions. Let His voice be your final authority.

Ep 99: Be still and know pt 2 | Even Jesus knew when to isolate
In this week's episode, we are talking about the importance of stillness. Even Jesus knew when to step away and spend time with the Father. Yet so often we act like the world cannot go on without us, and we break the time we set apart for God just to respond to another message. Come off it. This episode is a reminder to slow down, be present, and treasure the time we spend with God.

Ep 98: Feeling let down by God | Can we be real with God?
Resentment is one of the biggest killers of any relationship, including our relationship with God. And one of the fastest ways resentment grows? When we leave our grievances unspoken. In this week’s episode, we talk honestly about what to do when you feel like God has failed you. This is your reminder that He can handle your honesty. Do not give the enemy room to plant bitterness in your heart. Br
Ep 97: In all things, give thanks
“In all things, give thanks.” It’s one of the toughest commands to follow when life gets hard, but there’s real power in practicing gratitude.
This week, I’m challenging you to praise in every situation and see how gratitude can shift your perspective.

Ep 96: You are not normal | You carry the Holy Spirit
You carry the Holy Spirit. You cannot think like everyone else. You cannot act like everyone else. You are not like everyone else. Why? Because the Holy Spirit, the very same Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead, lives in you. That reality changes everything. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to be a carrier of the Holy Spirit and how that identity shapes the way you think a
Ep 95: God is never too far | A message to the one who needs fixing
Christian maturity isn’t measured by how independent you are from God. Stop trying to fix yourself before coming to Him. He isn’t afraid of your mess; He welcomes you with open arms. God specialises in healing the broken and restoring hope to the hopeless. No matter how far you feel, remember this: God is never too far.

Ep 94: You are supposed to be dead | Being an instrument of righteousness
You are supposed to be dead to sin, so why are you still sinning? So last week, we settled the fact that God has made you righteous in His sight. Let’s take it a step further though: does this mean that you can carry on living the way you want to since you’re already accepted? As Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 5, of course not!! This week, let’s talk about being an instrument of righteousness.
Ep 93: What does it mean to be righteous?
Righteousness is a word many of us hear but don’t fully understand. If that’s you, or if you just need a reminder that you’ve been made right in God’s sight, this episode is for you. It’s time to break free from the lie that God accepts you based on what you’ve done and start resting in what Jesus has already finished.

God is calling you to dream bigger this week. Where did your limits come from, and what would happen if you let Him break them? In this episode, I encourage you to step beyond comfort and trust God for what seems impossible. No longer can we allow limits that He hasn’t given us to hold us back.

This episode is for those who know they have been sitting on what God gave them. You have been asking for more but have not honoured the small. It is time to shift. Let's talk discipline, obedience, and the power of showing up. God is not looking for perfection. He is looking for faithfulness.

Whether you're unsure what it truly means or you've known it but have found yourself struggling to live it out. It’s a reminder that surrendering to a God who loves you, who has good plans for your life, and who always has your best interest at heart is not a punishment.

Ep 68: I already am | A reminder of your God-given identity
This week's episode is all about identity. I'm tired of people walking around with false identities that the Lord never gave them. I'm also tired of people postponing their God-given identity by thinking thoughts like, 'One day, I'll be righteous.' You already are who God says you are!
