Why The RUSH?

Everyone in our generation seem to be in a hurry to get to their destination before the expected time, some even drive cars as if they are driving to Canada from Nigeria🙄 Where are you rushing to?

You want to rush into marriage when you are not prepared, you are not ready to be a wife, cook and a mother, you are not ready to take care of the needs of others, you don't even have enough money to rent a house. Why the rush?
You want to rush into a relationship, you are just 15, emotionally unstable, you are still struggling with your academics, you don't have a stable prayer life, you didn't even ask if it's God's will! Why the rush?
You just started a business and you want a truck full of customers, you want to be recognized, you want your business to be recognized and you are comparing yourself with those who started years before you. why the rush?
You just got into ministry and you want a church full, you want people calling you from UK and England, you want the your generation to recognize the anointing of God in your life,
you want to be celebrated like Apostle Joshua Selman and Pastor Lawrence Oyor when you have not even started! why the rush?
egugun be careful na express you de go" some of us laughed over this song but basically most of us are not careful about what we will face, we just want to rush into everything!
When you get admission into the University, do you expect your certificate in less than 4 years? NO! You will have to study hard, attend lectures, buy handouts, burn night candles and pray hard if you want to graduate at the supposed time.
So why rush to get wealth,fame and a name when you cannot invest in your self, you cannot invest your time, you are too busy with nothing.

See,you cannot get the fame,wealth or name you wish for or deserve when you cannot serve,when you cannot invest,when you can't work for it.
It is heartbreaking that so many youths struggle for irrelevant things, to get the lastest clothes, shoes and upgrade their phones to the newest. To get 1k likes on their Instagram photo they go nude and dress half naked! How did we get here😢
Young girls and boys endangering their lives by involving themselves in prostitution and cultism to get money so they can buy expensive clothes, take studio pictures and post on social media so they can be called slay queens and kings. Why the rush?
You want fame, can you manage the attention you will receive, can you satisfy those who will look up to you, are you ready to serve your audience?

You want wealth, do you know how to manage it? Can you spend it wisely? Will you still remain godly and humble?
You want a name, are you a woman or a man of value? Can you impact lives? Are you purpose driven? Are you living right? If NO, WHY THE RUSH!
Stop comparing yourself with those who are ahead of you,don't let the pressure force you into seeking for other means to get fame and wealth. Relax,Breathe,Wait,Work,Strive and when the appointed time comes you will be known,you will be famous and your world will celebrate you❤
God has already promised us the best if we can trust Him and remain patient "those who trust in the Lord, are like Mount Zion"

Don't let the pressure force you into seeking for fame and wealth without God's presence but let God lead you into greatness🔥

This morning, I woke up to God’s word reminding me of the importance of process, waiting, building and staying to learn what He is teaching me as my teacher.

We may come that point where we almost feel like the Lord is not there because what we have asked for is not forthcoming, you may even feel discouraged but it is settled that the Lord never forsakes His own, not even in the fire!
So what about you? Do you eventually see God as wicked or unjust because He is not answering all your prayers? Are you that Christian who quickly becomes faithless when you are not seeing results?

Job said “Even if you slay me”
Esther said “If I perish I perish”
The three Hebrews boys didn’t mind if God saves them or not and Daniel wasn’t scared of dying in the lion’s den.
How comes we are only for God when it’s favorable? What happens to the process of waiting and learning? Just like David and Joseph, God may take you through a process before the palace.

Just like Abraham, you may have to wait for years to enter into God’s promises for you. We must learn to love God beyond what He can do for us, follow Him because He is God not just for earthly desires!

If you are in a godly relationship, tell us something you are grateful for in your partner or relationship. Let's share godly relationship goals.

Mine: We read books together, he basically encourages me because that guy reads😩

Also, I have learnt how to fast, like fast!
...and yes, I am better than I was in all aspects of my life.

There's more! We get our intimacy when we spend time talking about Jesus. Its beautiful😭
No sex! No smooching! No kissing! Just God's presence, two people growing into God's purpose for them.

If you are serving God because you want to get something from Him, one day you will wake up angry because you may not get all you desire but when you just love and trust Him, you may not get all you desire but you will get all that's best for you.
We serve God because its our life, we owe everything to Him. So just like the three Hebrew boys, Esther, Daniel, Apostle Paul etc.

It is not about how much God can give to them but how committed and sold out they are to God.
God wants us to come to that place where our confession becomes "If I perish I perish! I cannot choose my life or my desires above you Lord. I love you with everything".

This is the kind of growth God is calling us into🔥

Dear Christian,
The flesh is self exalting, it is self demanding! When the spirit says PRAY, the flesh will say you need to rest. When the spirit says BE CALM, the flesh will give you a hundred reasons not to! If you want to serve God, you must die to FLESH🙇
The flesh always wants to show how much it has achieved for God with small pride.
It wants to be able to show emotions, do whatever it wants without self control.
It doesn't even want corrections from God or the scriptures.
The flesh doesn't want to stay without food so if you want to satisfy it's desires, you cannot fast. You can stay for a whole busy day without eating but come and fast na, you will start shaking😂

I was having a conversation with one Unku who was showing some Interest me and I noticed how he was trying to mention God into everything he was saying, yes he wanted me to see how he knows God but I was not fast to conclude o!
I gave it time, I listened to all he had to say and I could see that he was trying to use the fact I was a child of God to make me feel comfortable but it wasn't so long before I could hear him condemn the standard of purity we are keep as believers!
Oh really, the same brother who sounded so God-loving could say there's no need to waiting until marriage if your family already knows about the relationship! God help us.

I was at a wedding yesterday, but I wasn't fast to say the God When anthem, not because it wasn't a beautiful wedding or because I don't anticipate marriage but because I know there is so much requirements for a GOD KIND OF MARRIAGE.
We all want to be loved by somebody's son or daughter, we want a beautiful house, we want to be loved and receive beautiful gifts from our partners. I want that too but wait fes, is that all?
What God has planned for us is way more than gifts, houses, flowers or even vacations. What God has planned is a home that will glorify Him.
