The last will be first, and the first will be last.
Stay past the fifth hour, and receive more than a denarius.
A day’s wages cannot compare
to time spent in His presence.
He Himself is the exceedingly great reward.
So why not tarry a little longer in the vineyard?
– A.G. Ayuen
He WILL come, and all will be redeemed.
There WILL be no more death.
No more tears.
No more grief or sorrow,
pain today and death tomorrow.
All things WILL be made new.
The dead WILL rise in Christ.
The groaning of creation will be answered
when the Bright and Morning Star
comes riding on the clouds.
– A.G. Ayuen
I am running into the fire.
I am running with heart.
I am running to win with the One who has already won.
I lay aside every weight that so easily entangles me.
I will not give up,
because He who is in me is greater.
He is the Author, the Pioneer, and the Perfecter of my faith.
– A.G. Ayuen
Proverbs 3:5–7
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…”
Have confidence in His nature.
God is reality,
not the perspective painted by your humanity.
He is existence.
All things are created by Him
and sustained by His assistance.
The core of who you are
is found in the depths of who He has always been.
The expectation of who you will become
is centered on what He has already done.
– A.G. Ayuen
My calling is to Jesus.
My destiny is eternity.
My purpose is to know Him
& make Him known.
My assignment is whatever work
He invites me into.
My career is in obedience.
-A.G. Ayuen
Who said you couldn’t help while you were healing?
Too often, you disqualify yourself
by listening to the voice of pain,
the voice of your past,
the voice of limitation,
the voice of unbelief,
the voice of accusation,
the voice of fear,
the voice of shame,
The voice of the enemy,
cloaked in your own personality.
Who said?
— A.G. Ayuen
I am grieved by the state of the nations.
I am grieved by the state of my nation,
America.
I am grieved by the nature of man.
I am grieved by the deceitfulness of my own
heart.
LORD HAVE MERCY ON US.
We continue to do what we ought not to do.
We persist in the way of destruction.
We do not know the way of love, nor do we desire to become love.
We are influenced by hostility rather than Christ’s humility.
LORD TEACH US THE WAY OF MERCY.
Make us ministers of reconciliation
in cities and in nations.
– A.G. Ayuen
Thank you that you invite me deeper into you.
Thank you that Mercy is not just what you do.
Thank you Lord for your patience with me.
Thank you for taking care of the needs I don’t see.
Thank you that you don’t let me have my way.
Thank you that you are God and I am simply clay.
Thank you that even when I was a sinner you died for me.
Thank you Jesus for your love that makes me free.

Consistency in Intimacy.
Consistency in Identity.
Consistency in Roles.
Consistency in Goals.
Consistency.
– A.G. Ayuen
You can’t kill me with your eyes,
or intimidate me with your lies.
I have placed a shield over my heart;
your words no longer tear me apart.
I won’t be fooled by your manipulation,
because I stand tall, unbothered by your intimidation.
I used to fear you, but now I see you, masquerade behind your misery.
Your taunting isn’t victory.
You can’t kill me with your eyes.
I look past them and behold,
He who is in me is greater
than he who is in the world.
– A.G. Ayuen
The Father who loves to fascinate His children
with wonder and majesty.
He is the eternal God,
who ever was and ever will be.
He performs signs so that we marvel
and draw closer to the only Name
in which salvation is found.
He is the living God, the Rock of all ages.
The Lion of Judah who has conquered all stages.
– A.G. Ayuen
Outside….
Watching cars fly by,
and thinking of how fast people die.
Mortality.
Red blood vitality.
Eternity.
And a ticking time clock.
Life goes by faster than the cars,
Outside…
– A.G. Ayuen
You are not a mistake.
You are not a lost cause.
You are not a failure.
Your life has value.
Your life has purpose.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
You were created intentionally for intimacy,
Beloved.
– A.G. Ayuen
It’s okay to cry,
to let out those tears of humanity.
To ask for help,
to call on His name,
that’s real dependency.
To let go and realize,
you are unable to even be without Him.
It’s not weakness, It’s humility.
The one thing He doesn’t despise,
is the tears in your eyes of humanity.
– A.G. Ayuen
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” — Ephesians 2:10
Not just a clump of cells formed by chance
or the result of random coincidence.
We are God’s WORK
His poiēma, His masterpiece.
We are God’s MAN
Male and female, made in His image and likeness,
and through the cross, are restored to reflect the glory of His brightness.
We are God’s SHIP
Made on purpose, for a purpose.
Not created to carry pride, shame, guilt, or fear,
but designed as vessels that would carry His love far and near.

I have overcome,
I am overcoming,
I will overcome.
I am an overcomer who is overcoming.

Ephesians 3:17-19 (NKJV) – “that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
May we comprehend,
the width,
the length,
the depth,
and the height of the love of Christ.
May we see the width of this love,
that stretches to all peoples, nations, tribes, and tongues.
This everlasting and eternal love which is steadfast, enduring many generations.
May we know this deep and humble love,
that came down, took on flesh, and was nailed to the cross of Calvary to ransom the sons of man.
May we understand this love that enters grief, injustice, shame, doubt, death and fear bringing liberation to captive souls.
May we be convinced of the height of this love,
that raises us:
from sin to sonship,
from shame to honor,
from enemies to heirs,
from the miry clay to the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
January 2, 2026 | A.G. Ayuen
I love you.
I love your dry heat,
I love your desert plains,
Your rich swamplands,
the diversity you hold, greatly expands.
I pray for your NORTH as a girl from your SOUTH.
I love both of your flags and all of your people.
I still see you united even with your separation.
I am grieved by your history, as I pray for your future.
I love the Nile that flows through you, but I pray that Yeshua would be in you.

“The way we steward pain will determine how well we are able to maintain peace.” —Isis Igenegba
Pain is not a sign of failure.
Pain comes and it goes.
It is the shared ailment of humanity,
and how we manage it affects our sanity.
November 30, 2025 | A.G. Ayuen
Lord teach us how to surrender and follow you even when it’s hard…even when it hurts.
Teach us how to see pain through the lens of Calvary and not through our own humanity.
Teach us Lord to trust in what your word says in Romans 8:28.
That our trials, our present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed in us through Christ Jesus.
Help us not only see and desire you as Jehovah Jireh, but also as the Man of Sorrows, and the Son of Suffering.
Jesus help us not to be so overwhelmed by our pain that we forget your presence.
Move us to overcome in faith, knowing that after crucifixion, there is always resurrection.
November 29, 2025 | A.G. Ayuen
I’m living in answered prayers.
Prayers that I spoke wholeheartedly,
prayers I sang out loud,
some I wrote on lined paper pages,
from a place of zeal and genuine surrender.
Passionate, youthful prayers of consecration written from a place of adoration.
Prayers of praise,
Prayers of lament,
Prayers of supplication,
begging God to refine me, consume me,
to kill whatever was left of me.
He has been faithful in the fire,
making Himself my only desire.
The presence of joy, peace, and hope
has multiplied even more than when I first said yes to Jesus,
but so has the resistance and the trials.
I’m living in prayer.
November 28, 2025 | A.G. Ayuen
God is looking for vessels emptied of themselves.
Vessels of Honor that will be instruments of righteousness.
Vessels that don’t carry excuses of why they can’t be used or why they can’t obey what it is He is asking them to do.
He is looking for vessels that will carry the message of The Gospel.
Those that boast in their weaknesses with a Spirit of meekness.
Those that understand that their inabilities make room for His ability.
He is looking for broken vessels with cracks that will illuminate His light.
And He doesn’t exclude vessels that have been used or abused because His love judges not by sight.
November 12, 2025 | A.G. Ayuen
I feel the burdens of your oppressed &
I see the blood that is being drained from your veins.
I’ve read of the plunging/ exploitation of your land &
I hear the cry of your cities because of the yolk of injustice.
Of you there is a history of pain, bloodshed & colonial dread,
but in you is joy & a resilience that many don’t quiet understand.
I pray for the unity of your people &
for a purging of hostility from their heart.
That the adversary would no longer
continue to tear you apart.
CONGO
I plead a greater blood
upon your people
and upon your land.
I plead the blood of Jesus
That speaks a better word…
It speaks redemption
It speaks forgiveness
It speaks justice
It speaks peace
It speaks salvation
of you
CONGO.
– A.G. Ayuen
Scars of pain,
Scars of suffering,
Scars that mark the hands I was formed in.
Scars of evidence,
Scars of assurance,
Scars from nails that were forced in.
Scars that marked your sacrifice,
From wounds inflicted in the night.
Scars of a Carpenter,
Scars of a King,
Scars of a Savior,
that crushed my sin.
Scars that speak of love and grace,
Scars that bring hope to human race.
-A.G. Ayuen
LORD refine me with your lovely flame.
Mark me with your majestic name.
Burn me holy into purity.
Holy Ghost fire inside of me.
Sanctify this temple so all may see.
The person of Christ hidden in me.
-A.G. Ayuen
I found myself back on the floor again.
Wrestling a cloud that swept over me.
This one, cumulus…
Big and Grey.
With arms that boldly void out the day.
Cumulus swollen with liquid death,
prepared to blow it’s liquid breath.
But I ran….
I hid….
under the Son.
concealed myself with The Piercing one.
The one with warm arms of ray.
Radiant and lovely more than day.
He pushes away clouds filled with heaviness,
And places the oil of joy and gladness.
-A.G. Ayuen
He calls me beloved,
The apple of His eye.
I don’t belong to the other,
who tries to fill me with his lies.
I am fearfully made, wonderfully done.
Was birthed into this world,
but accepted in His Son.
-A.G. Ayuen
There is someone that takes emptiness away.
Someone who fills the void of empty places– and brightens up dark unwanted spaces.
JESUS.

the middle,
the end.
eliminator of emptiness,
our defender,
and friend.

LORD,
as I let go of my pride
teach me to abide.
In the shadow of the Almighty
pin me by your side.
Produce the fruit of your Spirit
so all may see.
that the seed of your word
is planted within me.
-A.G. Ayuen
