Those of you who say "Forget that I am carrying bible, If I drop it, I will deal with you" Oga! What do you think you can do without God's word?😏 Calm down I want to talk to you!
Wait! Do you think you can achieve anything without the backing of God? Which one is if I drop my bible, you will see my real face! Lol. Which one is your real face without Gods word?
It is a wonder to me that so many Christians still use this phrase! Where is your identity outside God's word? I cannot find mine without Jesus, can you? Then why do you have to drop God's word for us to see the real you.
Have you read John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
If you remain in Him, you will bear much fruits and apart from Him (Jesus) you can do nothing, so even if you are dropping the bible to fight, you will be beaten blue black😂
When someone offends you instead of trying to make peace, you are dropping your bible, to add fuel to the fire! Haba naw, where is the fruit of abiding in God's word!
See the fruits of the spirit is meant for us all, it has not been given specially to a particular group of persons!
Self control, joy, gentleness patience, love, kindness, goodness, peace, faithfulness are the fruits you should produce as a child of God so why are you dropping your bible when you should be making peace? Why are you dropping your bible when you should show self control?
You cannot produce anything when you are void of God's word, so instead of peace there will be war and instead of joy there will be anger and bitterness! When you should be gentle you are trying to show you are coming from the ghetto🙄
Where you are coming from shouldn't define your new creature in Christ, you are now made new so let every garagaraness from your village be taken from you🤣
You don't need to drop the bible to make a point instead let every word and action coming from you define the presence you carry, let it proclaim the goodness of the Lord🔥
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.
