THAT SOUL IS IMPORTANT!!!


Ooooooo God, this egg burnt again, what exactly is wrong with me? Ordinary egg!! Haba! I will eat this one like that jare.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! Anyone home? Paula!!

Who’s that calling me, that sounds like Debs… opens door

Babe, how far now?

Debs Debs longest time, you remember me today

I’m sorry Paula but anytime I come over, you’re not always around.

Ah! Around ke! I will be at work now, I told you I just got employed at FS machinery ltd

Oh yes you told me, hope it’s not too stressful? Not at all, Paula replied.

Hmm, Paula it’s been so long you’ve been to church. I understand your busy schedule that’s why I intentionally came today being a public holiday which falls on bible study day too; I came to pick you up for service mama, so get dressed, it’s almost time.

Ah! Debs, just like that? You don’t even know if I have this evening fixed or not, anyways maybe some other time, not today please.

Madam, it’s today and no other, so go in there and change or I’ll drag you out the way you’re dressed.

Really? ooooooooo Deborah! Paula screamed. Alright, let me finish my food, and then we move.

Ok boss, Debs replied


On their way to church

Ah! This traffic can make one never to step out of the house, kai! Paula muttered to Debs

I tell you babe, Debs replied squeezing her face

After 30mins, they arrived at the church

The bible study was just about to begin; the ladies entered the auditorium in time.

Oh my! Sister Sister Paula, how have you been? Esther pressed in to hug paula.

I’m good o, Paula replied sharply and muttered few words then walked away to a corner to sit away from others especially Debby and also for her to disappear immediately after bible study to avoid unnecessary greetings.

Pastor Josiah, our handsome youth pastor, preached on BE FERVENT, DO NOT LOSE YOUR FAITH!

The devil is grieved whenever he sees men draw closer to God that’s why he tries everything possible to tamper with the believer’s journey (Matthew 4:1-11). Therefore, it is expedient for every believer to hold tightly the faith we’ve received through Christ, the scripture urges us to fight the good fight of faith. Never allow anything snatch your faith from you. What are the likely things that make a believer lose their faith;

·        👉 INSENSITIVITY:

·       👉   IN-FERVENCY

·       👉   IGNORANCE

·        👉 CONDEMNATION

Visible signs that you’re not in faith

·       👉   Uninterested in spiritual activities

·        👉 Giving excuses of not doing instead of creating time to do

·        👉 Absence from fellowshipping with the brethren

·        👉 Unbothered about the Kingdom needs

Way outs

·         Sincerely go before God in prayers; tell him to search you and see if there be any evil way in you and he should lead you to the way everlasting. BE SINCERE!

·         Stay fervent in prayer and study of the word. Most importantly, pray long in the spirit, scripture says pray at all times and on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit.

·         Seek counsel. Make sure to have certain persons through the leading of the spirit that you’re accountable to. Don’t assume you are fine or you can do all things; seek counsel from this well trusted people. Read the story of Moses and his spiritual Father, Jethro (Exodus 18).

·         Daily evaluation of yourself before the Lord and trust the Spirit to help you because He has been provided to help us in our weaknesses, scripture says “so too the Holy Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness” (Romans 8:26a). It’s impossible for us to evaluate ourselves without the help of the Spirit because it might lead to self-condemnation but when we trust the greatest High Priest, Jesus who understands our weaknesses and cling unto Him then strength to overcome and rise from such weakness will be released (Hebrews 4:14-15).

Shall we rise up and pray to God…………Lord Jesus, strengthen me to run this race patiently with you……in Jesus name we’ve prayed………..Alleluia

Sister Debby, such a powerful message today, Brother Nehemiah said

Oh yeeeessss iitt iiiss, Debby replied looking around in search of, of course, Paula.

Where could this woman be now? Debby thought as she walked around the auditorium, she asked few persons then a male usher directed her to a tight corner at the back, I don’t know what’s wrong with sister paula, she has refused to stand up, he said.

Debby walked to the corner then found paula crying with her head bowed…

Babies Get Easily Sacrificed...

Image
  God brought my vision to something that we barely notice in the scriptures and I’d like to share; One sacrificial requirement out of the many, in the Old Testament which was never left out, is “a lamb with no defect”. Now, our focus is “the lamb” which is referred to an offspring of Sheep. Babies are fragile, so easy to handle and manipulate; with an adult, you’d need a lot of tactics in taming them but it’s not so with babies, just with a tender touch or words, you’ve automatically won them over. That’s one of the many reasons; a lamb was often required as part of the old sacrificial rituals, I mean, who wants to go through the struggle of dragging and pulling with the aggressive Ram (Male sheep). Having laid that foundation, I’d say further that, If as a born again Christian, you refuse to Grow in the knowledge of Christ but choose to remain a babe, being tossed around with words, then you’ll easily be sacrificed to the devil, not by God but by your lack of maturity, st...

THE DEVIL'S PLIGHT

Image
  The devil is always after the destruction of something well built. He is never pleased with growth and improvements. It saddens his heart to see men thrive towards purpose and fulfillment. He is the father of darkness; evil plight and vices are his agents. His bosom is in the atmosphere of disruption, damnation, disappointments, failures, sorrows, anxiety, shame and reproach. He is capable of just three qualities “to kill, steal and destroy” which make him our adversary and opposition party as far as this world is concerned, he is a devourer, and can choose any technique to carry out his acts. Due to this, the Kingdom of God is fully aimed at subduing the kingdom of darkness and taking total dominion here on earth, the scripture says in Psalms 24:1 “the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it” , that is, even the devil is subjected to God. Therefore, we who have received the redemption through the blood of Jesus, the son of God, should never l...
