WHY DID YOU STOP?

Rom 12:11 -

KJV: Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

ESV: Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.

NIV: Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

AMP: Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord.

Heaven knows you as a man/woman who never gives up, by his unending passion for souls in intercession and preaching of the gospel.

Men knew you as a fervent brother/sister who never takes a no for an answer when it comes to navigating the operations of the supernatural, by travailing in prayer and maximizing of the authority in the word.

You are known as a fasting machine, one whose favourite quote is 'we die there', whenever you are in charge or Ministering, the kingdom of darkness is in trouble, because of the damages you are causing to their successful operations in the lives of men.

Then thoughts pop in. Then you began to have feelings of stopping. Then you began to see yourself as the only person God trusts and will never assign others to establish his will and purpose.

You wanted to know what would happen if you stopped. You wanted to see if truly, your spirituality matters a lot, if truly the lives of men depends on your progress and fervency in the Spirit.

You wanted to see if heaven or men appreciates your efforts and sacrifices. You wanted heaven or men to start rewarding you with immediate effect. You wanted to reap the fruits of your past sweats and pains without thinking of the lives of men that'll suffer when you forsake your duty post as a priest.

Don't dare making that deadly mistake that is not innocent. Don't be blind to see spiritually that your labours are tremendously affecting lives and going places, causing shifts and landmarks.

That is pride and you'll be guilty, when you start to see the dangers, setbacks and the losses that'll creep in.

That thought is from the devil. Do not give in, nor should you give a place for the devil to lure you into slothfulness and complacency.

Prayer, studying of the word, intercession, fasting, holiness, brokenness, preaching the gospel and every other spiritual activities that you engage in, will never be too much except if it's not enough.

Why? Your track record is and will not be the first.

Remember, generals and giants (that have passed on before you, and have passed the batton to you), had track records which you are yet to make, set or break.

You have just started Sir/MA, why should you stop?

LETTER TO MY FUTURE WIFE (a promised reference to Timilehin David's similar letter years ago)

If you are reading this, it is to show how highly God has proposed and buoyantly vouched for you as the apple of his eyes. To a royal diadem, a rare gem, the good thing I'll find whose worth is beyond rubies, the brightest star in the sky I'm staring at and looking forward to embrace her shining light, my other half, the fairest among women (just like my fairy mum) whose heart is golden and cannot be bought by the worth of earthly treasures, one whose stance would cause the fall of a thousand men, and her walking steps draw the gaze of mighty men. To my future wife, whose eyes I would love to fix my gaze, whose cheeks I would love to caress, whose succulent lips I would love to taste like the honeycomb and beautiful body I would love to glue onto like the magnet on the day of matrimony. Your smile is a beaming hope, your laughter a contagious joy and your teeth like the bright spring in the sunny day. I hope reading this won't make you think I am carnal because ...

THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE YOU DON'T KNOW

You might want to wonder, does LOVE have any other side (just like a coin though single but having two SIDES)? Do I not know about the entirety of love or does it still transcend beyond the description and exposition given to it by Apostle Paul in 1Cor 13? Do you know that, just the way you can't decipher all that God is even though He fully demonstrated His nature of love by becoming a Father and sacrificing Himself (the Soul - Jesus the Christ as His only Son) for humanity; you can't also comprehend all that Love is because God is Love? Now, let me bring clarity to avoid confusion. What do I mean by the OTHER SIDE OF LOVE? Like everybody else will think, the answer to that question would be the painful side of love or the sacrifices of love or the challenges that may befall one because of love etc. But that's not where my target is, instead it is the most neglected nature of Love - BALANCE. When you hold a coin or are given a coin what attracts you the most i...

EXAMINATION TIPS FOR BELIEVERS

The secret of success is to do the common thing, uncommonly well - John D. Rockefeller. As believers, the kind of success that God wished that we manifest in is different from that of unbelievers. It is success that supercedes man's (self) ability; one that is traceable to the enabling power of God; one which can be drawn, associates and is enabled (in and) by the Spirit, so that we cannot boast of our power, knowledge, skills and every of our ability but by the strength, quickening and enabling power of God. This is applicable to all spheres: Business, Work, Education etc including Ministry. But due to the course of this writing, I'll be centering on exams especially students that are believers. If you aren't one of them, make a quick deliberate decision and be convinced of your salvation, else, you are missing out amongst Christ's family (and the benefits of being a Son, a few of what I'll be sharing here). According to Josh 1:8 - KJV:This book of the law sh...

TRANCES OF YOUR PROPOSED STATURE

Num 24:4 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open, 16 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open The word Trance is derived from the Greek word ( ekstasis ) meaning a displacement of the mind that is bewilderment, ecstasy; be amazed. The condition expressed by this word is a mental state in which the person affected is partially or wholly unconscious of objective sensations, but intensely alive to subjective impressions which, however they may be originated, are felt as if they were revelations from without. They may take the form of visual or auditory sensations or else of impressions of taste, smell, heat or cold etc. The English Dictionary defines it as a dazed or unconscious condition; (consciousness) a state of concentration, awareness and is foc...

DON'T GET DISCONNECTED, STAY ON COURSE

It is of no fallacy that there is no boundary, blockage or distance barrier of any sort to the access or manifestation of the Spirit. And indeed, there is no medium whatsoever that the Holy Spirit cannot use to demonstrate enormous power, no matter how unimaginable or unreasonable it may be ( Mantle - 2Ki 2:14, Hem of garment - Matt 14:36, Handkerchief and Apron - Acts 19:12, Shadow - Acts 5:15). You might have heard of testimonies of men about the move of God's power, either through Social Media (despite the different locations - countries and continents across the globe), Audio or Video Messages and many more. Also, it is not bad or devilish for believers to have spiritual books, messages, write ups etc on their phones, laptops or any technological gadgets. Doing these does not serve majorly any other purpose than to use them to build up ourselves spiritually and get imparted by the anointing of the Men of God. Which has helped us to access the unreachable mate...
