I hear God saying to me "Don't settle for less" Do you know what this means? Just as Jeremiah 29:11 says His plans for us are of good not evil, so He expects us to work towards His great plans for us! Don't be a mediocre! Come up hither🔥
Just this evening, I was thinking about purpose, marriage and future when I heard God say to me "DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS"
Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".
Did you read that, please read it again and again, plans of good to give you a hope and a future, to give you joy and peace, to bless you and give you a fulfilled life!
Fam, are you seeing what I just saw? God does not want you to have a failed marriage
He does not want you to live an unfulfilled life, He does not want you to live in pain and sorrow! It is not the plans of God for you! I reject it for you!!!!
How can you be telling me all you want in life is to go to school, marry, give birth, have a car and house, then die! Lol. What about purpose. You are made for more jare. Please wake up!
We have been giving the power and authority to live the best life, full of peace, joy and happiness! Please don't settle for leftovers when you have a full chicken in your hands! Eat as much as you can! Ask as much as you want!
In this kingdom, we do not settle for less, we must take over in all spheres of life, go to school, to any extent you can even up to PhD, being a Christian, does not stop you from seeking knowledge!
Don't sleep on those big dreams, with God all things are possible! Don't forget you have to walk in purpose, so no matter the height you are aiming for remember what you are made for🔥
Oya, wake up from your slumber, start dreaming big! Wake up! Come up hither🔥
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 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.
