LOVE SO DEEP

I

So I heard the choir in my church do a song titled "you covered me". I thought it sounded nice and emotional for my Daddy. Then I got my darling Kilete to download it for me and I listened to it over and over. Then then the words hit me.

There's a part that says "You saw my needs when others saw my faults, You forgave me". It made me realise how mighty this God is, how sweet He is. How can He be so benevolent in the midst of our iniquity? He is love meeeeeehn.

I have a weakness, Infact many weaknesses, I struggle so hard to change but this papa of mine made me realise that He doesn't need my strength to do His work. He says I should just lean in and see His ALMIGHTINESS.

Love so deep.

Have you ever done "shan't gree" (struggle) then burst into tears cos It still didn't add up? He's waiting for you Hun..

It is ok if you are rebelling now, don't stay away because you feel shame for things you have done or not done. Forget what humans will say, we were made to be critical so we can understand that only God is perfect.

Always come back, His arms are huge and warm. He still loves you, you can't make Him love you less or more.

You are weak like that. Ehn, very weak.

Give in baby, because you will lose to Him or the devil and losing to Him gives you lasting peace.

Let God take the glory in your life.

Ephesians 3:17-18, Romans 8:39

YOU ARE NOT ALONE..

I decided ( with the Holy Spirit) to post other peoples struggles with addictions here because I know there are loads of people who feel no one understands their pain.. This is a dear friend of mine, tongue talking, spirit filled, demon commanding beautiful girl with anointing, she has this to share..

         I got born again at the age of fifteen but later derailed and went into all sorts of things sex, alcohol, pornography. . . Then I met a man that told me I was better than that and then he took me to a gathering where I rededicated my life to Christ on the morning of third March 2009 (you can't believe I didn't remember the exact date until the Holy Spirit reminded me as I was writing this piece) and so my Christian walk started.

       With the help of the Holy Spirit (even though at that time I didn't know Him) I was able to let go of some many of the bad habits I had picked up. But shortly after I got married I discovered I was secretly struggling with pornography, I was spending so much money on data so I could watch it online. Pornography had me by its jaws and I had no one to talk to, I felt ashamed yet I couldn't stop myself, I couldn't even talk to my husband and was seriously hiding it from him.

       After a while my husband found out because of course the sites I was visiting were on the history of my laptop, I can remember the look of disappointment on his face and then he says something " I can't help you with this, only God can". I had no idea how to go to God about this but I wanted a change in my life. Pornography was eating pieces of my life, it was affecting my marriage I desperately needed a change.

        So one day I look up and say "Jesus, you carried our burdens right? Well this is a burden I can't bear, please take it off me" peace came over me and for the first time I started to think about the sacrifice on the cross. I made a conscious effort by the help of the HolySpirit to clear the history on my laptop and stop myself from visiting websites I used to frequent.

       That was how my deliverance came, I don't know if you are trying to drop a habit like me, I have good news..IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE SIN FREE! believe it and live it. Jesus is waiting for you to realise you are helpless without Him, you have to admit it to Him and yourself. The word of God says in 1 corinthians 12:9 "and He said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me" Praise the Lord! Just look at That!  What a Promise! Remember the veil has been torn, so take a bold step into the Holy of holies and lay your burdens at His feet. God bless you.

Matthew 11:28

4 YEARS DON WAKA...

I take testimonies in wwp on Tuesday mornings, so I am privileged to hear the testimonies before the rest of the house. 

This last Tuesday a very dear aunty came to write that she's thanking God because she's still standing in Christ. 

At first it didn't sink because I was writing many others but later the Holy Spirit breezed it past me again and it dawned on me how important it is to thank Him for that. Many people have fallen by the way side, they could not be torn away from the 'pleasures' of sin. Forgetting that the wages of sin is death. 

The devil is very purposeful and anything to water down the blood of Jesus gives him pleasure, standing in Christ is a deliberate way of living, salvation is worked out, it isnt slapped on you.

My interview with 700 club today reminded me how far God has brought me from my highway to hell, how much He loves me. I fall, I fail but He loves me. That fact I can take to the bank. 

If I had a million tongues and and lived a thousand years, it will never ever be enough to give you all the praise.

So I am thankful for today, I'm grateful for today, and I deliberately give You all the worship due to You.

You are the reason I live,You are the very One for me and  no one knows what You mean to me Jesus. I boldly declare that I love You, thank You that I am still standing in You, despite everything the enemy brought my way, even In the church, You held me together, You didn't let me go, you reminded me constantly that You are who matters not what is going around me.

4 years 4 days ago I made the best decision of my life, today I rededicate my life to You withholding nothing. I love You breathlessly, too much for words.

Thank you Laura, Becky, Uju, and the rest of the CBN crew, God bless you all for the amazing job, may you not miss your reward here and in heaven. 

CAN I MEET YOUR JESUS?

A while ago, I went to a particular deliverance church because I felt like I had 'life pain' and there was a woman sitting in front of me with children. She was so harsh with them, I felt they must have offended her from home. Then one of them sneezed and mucous was flowing down his nose, I saw her searching frantically for something to clean his nose, all to nought so I offered her tissue.

She took it, without a word of thanks and even gave me a look of " who send you?". I was so shocked I could not concentrate again. I knew she was a frequent flyer of the church because a few people greeted her. All I could think of was how those people are angry people and I didn't want to meet their Jesus. I stopped going to church again,I was discouraged. 

Thank God I know better, thank God I met a woman who made Jesus appealing, thank God I met her Jesus.

There are many ways we turn people we are trying to win to Jesus away. We can't be self righteous. We can't make them feel like sinners, unto say na you holy pass, You are constantly angry, rude, uncouth and cursing and you tell me Jesus is peace, I will call you a liar, you are selfish and you tell me to come and meet your Jesus, that He is love, I don run na. 

Is your Jesus appealing to the one who doesn't know Him? When I was a club hopper, if I want you to come clubbing with me ehn, when I start to tell you first that I can get you through the gate without paying,get you drinks on the house,or that the Dj is the best in town or get you a free ride down even up to cloth to wear,you will find clubbing interesting. I made it look like you were missing out if you sit home on a Friday.

That's why you can see a person and say a person is perceived to be a pastor, probably because he or she was kind, compassionate, patient, polite, endearing towards you.

Want to win a soul? Make your Jesus appealing that anyone will want to meet Him, be the example.

EVIL ASSUMPTIONS..

As I am sitting in the office listening to a conversation between two ladies and I realise how easy it is to boast in yourself thinking you are giving a testimony. 

I could not even sit down there, had to go another part of the office. From one topic to the other but all in her abilities and her husband's. It is well sha. 

She try to give God some glory.

Anyway, there's a girl I see in church that I always thought didn't like me or was dismissive of me.

I always felt like she felt too much sef. There are two of them, they would be around me, say hello to everyone except me. I come start to wonder. 

So that's how the Holy Spirit said to greet them when next I see them.

So yesterday in the evening service, I had to walk past her and He said greet her, and I did, she answered. She was in my study class and she answered a question about living ready and she said 'live peacably with all men'. For my mind, I say ' see person wey dey talk wey dey always do face when I wan greet her', are you living peacably?

After service she was with a friend, I wanted to avoid her o, but I needed my friend to drop me off at home. A few minutes later, she walks up to me and tells me she's getting married and needs me to encourage her. I was so taken aback. I felt so bad. I dey dere dey judge person wey no even look me like that. Shame unto me. Chai. Evil assumptions. 

Lord have mercy on me o.

WHO IS PAYING YOUR PRICE?

I was having a conversation with someone and he told me a few things that are influencing his choice in a life partner. One of the things he said that blew my mind is when he said a woman takes over from a man's mother as soon as she marries him. She's meant to cover him, especially spiritually.

He told me about a man of God who took over a church and the congregation dropped by 30%, and his wife looked at herself and said never would it be in her husbands time that will happen.

She would pray and fast without ceasing, up to the point ushers will physically carry her to an adjoining hall, leave the door open so she can listen to the service because she was sometimes so weak. And of course the congregation exploded.

I heard of another woman who is a prayer warrior, and all her kids are doing so well. (No be kris kardashian type)

Now let's forget if our parents were not spitting fire spiritually, we are old enough to take responsibility. Many of us are young mums, mums to be, let's stop this crop of irresponsible adults that have been let loose in this present generation. Let it not pass on to the next. 

Jesus has paid the price, the wife of the pastor paid the price for the congregation explosion, the other woman paid the price for her children's success..

Who's paying your price? 

Whose price are you paying? 

Make we tie oja and invest in the future.
