DO IT SCARED!

 Dear Believer, I trust that you will be able to relate to today's episode and it blesses you.




I was at a believer's meeting one time and we were asked to take hold of a partner and pray with the person. 


After the prayer, we danced and rejoiced. Amidst the dancing, a girl was seated just scanning everywhere. She wasn't dancing. She didn't even look bothered.


As soon as I saw her, the Holy Spirit said I should go and meet her, then pray with her.  


In my mind, I was like "what for?"


He said "she is in a broken home."


I got more scared because what if I speak and she says "no, she isn't in a broken home. How would I explain anything that happens after that?


I was so scared and reluctant. After minutes of argument, I summoned the courage to stand up to meet her.


Like Esther who said "If I perish I perish, if she says no, e go be"


There and then, she confirmed she was from a broken home.


I cannot explain the kind of emotion I had after she confirmed what the Holy Spirit had said. I became more convinced to pray with her.

Dear believer, there are some times God's instructions can make you scared and skeptical.


You're doubting Him and thinking they are suggestions from your flesh. 


You're even judging the person with appearance and arguing it cannot be so.


If God said it...


God will not lie. He will not confuse you. He will not tell you something about the other person that is wrong. He won't try to set you up.


When you get nudges from God and you're scared, please do it scared.

It may seem hard. Yes, I know, and I just shared one of the many I have experienced.


Do it scared!


Peter was scared to defend the gospel yet the Holy Spirit gave him boldness and you know the rest of his story.


Dear Believer, know that God is not an author of confusion. 

Also, ask the Holy Spirit to help you out. Do it scared too! It doesn't bite, lol.


Thank you for reading. Trust you were blessed. 


See you next week. Bye.


Suggested scripture: Ps. 62:11, 2 Tim. 1:7, 1 Cor. 14:33

TEMPTATION AND THE WORD 4

Image
I pray that the Lord gives you understanding as you read today. Amen. ❤️ The devil took Jesus round the world to feed His eyes. He didn't realize that the whole Earth is His footstool. The drama goes thus: Devil: The world is so beautiful and enviable. I deliberately brought you here to see how Earth has faired under my watch. I've given Kings like Nebuchadnezzar and Pharaoh access to parts of the world and it gave them the recognition and power they desired. I'm ready to withdraw power from all the kings that rule over these kingdoms and give to you alone. I'll make you the only ruler over these kingdoms if you'd just kneel before my feet and worship me.  I can't help but laugh, please. The devil is so unpredictable. How did it feel to say that nonsense? 🤣 I know he must have acted the drama in his head a lot of times before tempting Jesus. He must have rehearsed his response in case Jesus fell for his offer and if it happened in the 21st century, he probably ...

TEMPTATION AND THE WORD

Image
"It is easier said than done". This statement is true, but I believe it is incomplete.  As a believer, there are some things that apply to the whole world that you're exempted from. To do things may be easier said than done, but for you, the believer, there is grace, even much grace available to do them. You and I receive it in Jesus name. Whether you believe it or not, there is grace available for you to stand up to the devil, in boldness, and use the Word instead of crying or getting depressed.  Yes, I know it may seem easier to say "use the Word", when the devil is telling you a lie about that job you're seeking, that grade you are reading so hard for, that person who said he/she will help you, that child that's proving wayward or any situation you may be in, as opposed to using the Word when you really need to use it.  But as believers, it's time we understood that only the Word and truth in the Word can make us free. John 8:32. And we must use i...

THE NEW WINE 3

Image
 Lord Jesus, thank you for your word I'm about to read today.  I receive boldness to share the wine you have given me.  May I not be static river in Jesus name.  Amen. Dear Believer, Last week, I asked a question about why you think the wedding host didn't buy wine when it had finished and they had to seek Jesus. A friend sent me a video about the history of the Galilean wedding and I found the answer in there. Once the wedding feast starts according to the Galilean culture, no one goes out until the ceremony is over. This is to lock out uninvited people and keep record of those who're in.  This explains why the welfare team had to panic when they ran out of wine. Thank God for Mary, who had Jesus in the building.  The video is a great resource I think you should listen to know more about Galilean weddings. Here you go. The wine running out in the Galilean wedding also signifies something very important.  I want to believe that everyone who is reading ...
