I Desired To See Jesus & I Did

Hey Fam! Welcome to a new week. With GREATTTTTT joy and by the help of the Holy Spirit, I’m back with Season 3 of The Candid Christian Series. 🥳

Sometime in 2022, I desired to see Jesus. I had heard testimonies from great men of God who had encountered him. At the time, I was reading through the book of Matthew and on this particular day, I was in chapter 5 and verse 8 stood out to me. I decided in my heart to live out this scripture and I saw The Lord. 

“Blessed [anticipating God’s presence, spiritually mature] are the pure in heart [those with integrity, moral courage, and godly character], for they will see God.” – Matthew 5 verse 8 (Amplified Version)

The book I referenced in this video: The Final Quest by Rick Joyner

Please share this video with someone. God bless you.

Abiola Jinadu-Matthew

Hiiii, I’m Abiola Jinadu-Matthew — a storyteller, media strategist, and faith-led creative passionate about helping people live, build, and believe with intention. I’ve spent the last few years working at the intersection of faith, media, business, and community, telling stories that are honest, human, and anchored in purpose. From leading communications and PR for brands and visionaries, to producing digital content, documentaries, and platforms, my work has always revolved around one thing: using storytelling to illuminate truth and inspire growth. This blog is a personal extension of that journey. Here, I write about faith in everyday life, navigating calling and career, obedience over optics, building purpose-driven platforms, marriage, leadership, creativity, and the quiet inner work God often does before the public outcomes appear. Some posts are reflective, some practical, some deeply personal — all rooted in a desire to live authentically before God and people. I believe growth doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like stillness. Sometimes it looks like rebuilding. Sometimes it looks like choosing alignment over applause. Whether you’re here to be encouraged, challenged, reminded, or simply to feel less alone in your process — you’re welcome here. My prayer is that through these words, you find clarity, courage, and comfort for your own journey in Jesus mighty name. Thank you for being here. 🤍 — Abiola
