Today, we're declaring WAR against the "I'LL PRAY LATER" syndrome. Can I get an Amen?
You see that thing called PROCRASTINATION? It's a Devil on its own, a devil tying wrapper.
Back then in Highschool, I wrote an article which was submitted for a competition (it was on a national level). It was the very first I was going to contest in. At the initial time, we were all 'gingered' up waiting for the results, months passed... Nothing.
As time passed, we forgot totally about it because our school work schedule was pretty overwhelming.
All of a sudden, I began to feel the nudge to fast and pray about it because some manipulation was going on.
I felt this nudge for one month straight, but didn't yield. Lol. I was still up and coming in these things.
Results came months after, three of us made it to the news, papers and magazines, but only two were awarded. See, I WAS PAINED.
My award was there, but they just chose not to give it to me... This was when I realized that God gives nudges to avert things. A lot of evil in fact would never have seen day light if believers obeyed the promptings of the Spirit.
When it comes, don't question it, you won't die, just obey. Fast, pray, confess. It's not too late to still pray about that thing the Spirit is nudging you about. It's not too late.
Confess, pray, fast... In this kingdom, the key to living a full life is giving prompt response to nudges.
I had a friend that said their mind, only when telling a joke. They didn't know that I'm God's baby girl and in turn God's paddy. He highlighted the seemingly "meaningless" lines to me as though with a bold marker.
They'd want to express some jealousy, but they'd do it in the form of a joke and for every time they did, I could discern what exactly they intended to say, and that was because I had made a simple but sincere prayer to God.
It went like, "Lord, please I don't want to find myself living Psalm 1:1." God did not only answer my prayer but also gave me the ability to make the right choices and the necessary tools that I needed to do that—The gift of Discernment.
Sometimes, God’s intentionality about us shows in really random things. There are times you have a thought/desire you didn’t even pray about, & you just come across it on your social media or somewhere you weren’t expecting. A God who hears our WORDS and HEARTS. We stan 🙌
There are lovers that listen to every words you utter and grant your desires. Then there’s that lover who not only pays attention to your words, but to your heart too... He listens to every of your unsaid words and satisfies you, how refreshing to know!
The times you craved for shawarma and got it without asking,
The times you needed money and someone just asked for your account number (out of the blues. Lol)
The times you needed a friend and he sent someone to love you... I mean, you remember those times, don’t you?
Sis, You Said No To Him Already, So Why Are You Still Monitoring His Life?
Why are you stalking him, really? Why are you checking his social media to see if he has the picture of another lady? You already said you weren’t interested, so why?
I’m talking to you my dear, why so bothered? Why do you still look out for him at events or gatherings? Oh, I get it, the Bible tells you to be your brother’s keeper, so you’re trying to do your part innit? Lmao!
I’m not done... why does your stomach knot when you see him talking to another lady? What’s the challenge? I mean, the young gentleman met you and spoke to you about his interest, you said no,
