In The Middle*

Before I was saved, I was a RELIGIOUS person...
#Thread Image
Name it any program, I was never absent, I was very fast in opening the Bible buh I never lived by any🤦(I even came first in a Bible Drill Competition)

I was religious but not spiritual, I was a virgin but not sexually pure(I didn't even know what Consecration is)
I was religious but not spiritual, I was a virgin but not sexually pure(I didn't even know what Consecration is)

When I got into the higher institution, I always envied the Slay Queens and Kings and at the same time admired the Fire Brand Brothers and Sisters
(Don't look at me like that o🙄)

You can see why I wrote In the Middle!
I'll always get intimidated whenever I see the slayers dressed beautifully, had lots of fun, lots of money to spend on themselves 🤦whenever I witnessed the Fire Brand Ministrations too, I'll just wish, it was me....😶
I loved GOD, loved to be in HIS presence at the same time, wished I could enjoy being in the world 🤷🤷🤷
Then in school, whenever I'm broke I thought of my friends in the world, wished I would walk up to them and ask them 'HOW FAR'

What about the Church!...I lost count of how many times I answered the alter call. I'll cry, ask for mercy but whenever I'm out nko it's over...
I was never firm!

Whenever I attended the fellowship of brethren and I see them praying in tongues, teaching the word. I respected them and wanted to be like them but it was hard for me!
There was a time I concluded that salvation was never meant for me but for a kind of people that the Lord choose Himself and for a particular denomination.
I attended Cherubim and Seraphim from childhood, so there was this mentality that it's only the 'Spirikoko' that speak In tongue hear from GOD (lemme say the particular church I attended)

So it was this Mentality I grew up with which made me a complacent being 🤦
But when I got to school, I saw Cherubim members working in a diverse ways and positive ways for GOD... I was shocked!

I graduated like that Sha but on September 2019, the long_awaiting miracle happened ☺️
I got saved!
I joined a church to confess, that Church was a divine choice and blessing, I got saved there, joined the workers and God is using me in positive ways!

I have now gotten the understanding of Christianity, it's more than attending programs!
Christianity is more than attending programs, being fast to open the bible, speaking loud tongues but it is a lifestyle, a decision to stand with Christ.

Some of us are in the middle, we want to be in the world and at the same time in Christ which is not possible.
You have to decide to follow Jesus, No turning back!

You have to decide to stand for the GOSPEL no matter what, no matter the insults, trails or temptations. No Turning Back!
You have to decide FAM, it is not enough to attend church services, it is not enough to be in the choir, it is not enough to be a church leader but to be different from the world, to stand and live by the word of God🔥
is time to stand firm in the Lord, unashamed of the gospel, proclaiming the truth and raising the flag of salvation and bringing men to the Father🔥

It Is Time To Stand For The Truth!

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.
