DO NOT BE IGNORANT OF SATAN’S HOLDING STRATEGIES

In this article, I want to highlight that the devil ties destiny down. I have seen it all my life. You have only one life. You don’t have all the time. You age daily. Strength wanes, beauty fades and daily you get

closer to your maker. One fact of life is: WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS.

Satan comes to steal, to kill and to destroy. One of his strategies is using what I call holding strategies. He puts a problem in someone’s life and that occupies their time and life for a lifetime: bareness,

sickness, disease, health condition, lack of husband or wife, lack of education or immigration problems. For example, many people wasted at least 10 to 20 years of their lives waiting for their immigration problem to be solved. During that time, they achieved nothing.

The smarter ones achieved a lot because they were not waiting for their particular problems to be solved before they moved forward. Whilst you are waiting, keep moving forward. If you can’t have a child, marry. If you can’t marry, build or buy a house.

If you can’t buy a house, study. If your partner died, marry again. Don’t stay there and become miserable. Time once gone cannot be regained. Are you guilty of waiting?

Your life shall not be wasted. Do not be ignorant of his holding strategies.

UK Immigration kept me on hold for 10 years, I decided not to waste my life. I studied law and paid for it privately. By the time they granted my status, I have achieved a lot: 3 children, two gospel albums, law degree, a lawyer and I built a house for my late mother in our

home town. If I had waited, nothing would have happened.

I am talking to you, you have waited enough, move forward. I am sent to deliver you. Stop holding yourself back. You have been bound by your issues for too long. It could be failed relationship, depression,

sickness, fear, poverty, or addictions, but the Lord is saying that it’s time to take hold of what is rightfully yours: healing, breakthrough, deliverance, success, joy, peace, abundance, freedom, happiness and purpose.

We all have issues, don’t customize yours to limit your life. “The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have dwelled long enough in this mount” - Deuteronomy 1:6

Keep on moving my friend and feel free to share to encourage others.

BE MORE CAREFUL WITH RELATIONSHIPS

If you want to reach the top, improve on relationships with the good, the bad and the ugly. Don’t be nasty. Some of the people that are good today can become ugly. Your best friend today can become your worst enemy tomorrow and vice-versa.

The bad and the ugly of today can become very good tomorrow. So, be careful. Don’t fight to die. Don’t fight to destroy. You may have to live or work again with the person you tried so hard to destroy. Don’t burn bridges. Be professional.

Sergio Ramos was the captain of Real Madrid for many years and Lionel Messi was the captain of Barcelona both in Spain. They never used to like each other. Mysteriously, they left their respective clubs and found themselves at PSG in France barely weeks from each other

WE ALL HAVE ISSUES

I have tried my best to be a good man, a good husband, , a good father, a good pastor, a good leader and a good lawyer. Yet, I find that I am still not good enough but one thing gives me confidence. I cannot kill myself.

I know I have issues in my life but from attending to fellow pastors, law colleagues, church members and clients for over 20 years, they also have issues despite trying their best.

So, I am confident that God is not against me. He is also not against you.

We are all in the same boat. Don’t let anyone deceive you with nice makeup and kinky dressings. Don’t let anyone deceive you by speaking with a posh accent. Don’t even look at those beautiful pictures on Social Media. Behind the mascara is the masquerade.

YOU MUST READ THIS.

As professionals, we want to be the best and in attempt to do that, many of us become unhealthy. We work long hours, feed on junk foods, take unhealthy drinks, have little or no rest and deprive ourselves of sleep.

We make the money but later, many suffer from poor health: Diabetes, heart disease, kidney issues, liver issues, depression, hypertension, high blood pressure, mental illness and the likes. Check the roots of all these, it is not usually genetic, natural or environmental.

It is a result of living a sedentary lifestyle or overworking without paying attention to one’s health. At the end of the day, all the monies and assets gathered is left for others to enjoy. You can stop the rot now!

Last year, I took ill with Covid-19 and I almost died.

IT IS A WASTE OF LIFE NOT TO HAVE PLAN B

The most successfull people are those who are good at Plan B''

-James. A. Yorke

Success as we see it is relative.

My late mother taught me from childhood never to depend on anyone to the extent that when they let me down,

I will start to cry. I got it. It framed my attitude to life and many people think I behave as if I am not human. No!

I have always been a man with Plan B so that if life tries to push me down,I bounce. If I am asking you to do something for me,

I am thinking of another way of doing it. If someone is supplying me with anything either freely or I am paying for it, I make sure I have alternatives. Whatever a man is giving to me, I make sure I can afford it so that when they stop, I continue to sponsor myself.

I have discovered that when people try to destroy us, we should not fight them or try to retaliate with evil.

Rather, we should pray for them. I learnt from Joseph and Jesus Christ. I am a very good student of the duo. If we try to fight those trying to destroy us,

we may be going against God’s divine agenda.

God usually use people who hated us to push us into our destiny. Genesis 50:20 “You intended to harm me,but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives”.

It is not all conspiracies, rebellion and attacks that is from the devil. Many comes from God who sits in heaven and does as he pleases on the earth. My advice, focus on your vision, endure the afflictions whilst it lasts and be ready to bask in the euphoria of victory.

PASTORS NEED TO BE MORE HONEST ON THEIR MARRIAGE.

This has been on my mind for many years and it is time for this article to go out to help millions of Christians worldwide.

Many pastors are in trouble in their marriage and they are deceiving the members.

As a result of that, some members break up their own relationships as they want it to be like that of their pastors. In reality, there is no perfect home and there is no perfect marriage. Pastors are struggling too. They are human and they go through what you are going through.

Many pastors have died prematurely because of domestic pressure: stress, depression, stroke, heart problems, insomnia, high blood pressure and hypertension. They went to the grave with the secrets but we refuse to die. Pray for us.
