A Senior Pastor told a story of how that years ago when the ministry he pastors was about a hundred churches, he was sitting in his car when he heard a voice suddenly say to him, "if you die now, at least you can say you have tried, the world will celebrate you."
He said he entertained the thought for a minute as to how people will say important things about him, when suddenly he understood what was going on, and refuted the thoughts immediately.
He spoke out loudly the word of God that says, "I shall not die, but live to declare the works of God in the land of the living." He silenced the voice that day...
This is many years later, and that church that was in their hundreds is now scattered abroad, present in almost every country.
When the devil comes to make suggestions to you, it is because he has seen that the glory of your latter will be greater than your former, you should never entertain the thoughts. Open your mouth and talk back.
Say this with me,
"I thank God for the feat I have achieved, but I know there is more,
I thank God for the heights I have attained, but I know there is more,
I thank God for the wins I have had, even though I know there is more,
I am not retreating in weakness, I am not resting, I am not surrendering,
Until I walk in the fullness of God for my life, I won't rest,
Until I fulfill everything God has made me to be, I won't surrender."
I hope you're praying these words, I hope you're confessing them.
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,
