Let’s Talk with Tolu.

Today our prayer is to keep our gaze on Jesus and not the boisterous wind. As God helps us to focus on Him, our lives receive are ordered in His perfect will.

God intends to change us much more that He intends to change the situation we bring to Him in prayers. Through this, He imprints His character upon our hearts and one of such character is patience. So when we study the word or pray and it feels like we are stuck, we shouldn’t be hasty to move on the flesh but we must patiently wait to ensure that the word is received on a good ground that it might bring forth fruits. This is what God intends, the fruits produced in us.

It is important that we at various times shape our lives with the word of God. We must countlessly declare the blessings of God upon ourselves, families, businesses, academics...so as to experience these blessings.

We ought to give thanks in all things. Thanksgiving gives us capacity to see beyond the current situation and establishes the will of God over it. Give thanks always! Give thanks always!

One of the ways to be led by the spirit is to pray in tongues. Clarities, answers, instructions are given as we engage the Lord in the spirit. This is true communion; we speak, and God speaks in return.

Often times, what restrict us from the consciousness of eternity is the love of the world. As soldiers of christ, we must not be entangled with the affairs of this world. So we must seek the help of the Holy spirit to help us not to love the world and the things in it. And in any way we have chosen to love the world subtly, the spirit of God brings this to light and helps us walk away from them.

The Lord is gearing our hearts towards the consciousness of eternity. This will in turn affect our decisions, passion and the things we hope for/give our attention to. As we pray, the word will come alive in us. We will be sober yet again and live bearing this at heart.

As growing christians, it is important we get to a point where our convictions about our faith and salvation is deep beyond doubts. We must come to the point of handling this reality. To the point of longing for that better place in God. Like the old, we must come to a place of preparedness and joy of being ready to meet with our Lord one on one. This is our cry in this episode. May we come to such a point.

Until the Lord becomes Lord over all things, we must make diligent efforts to seek Him for who He is. Like Mary, we must be intentional and move beyond the crowd to truly know the Lord.

When Jesus was asked about what the first commandment was, He said it is to love the Lord with all our heart, mind, strength and soul. Hence, our daily cry and decision should bring us into this reality. God has put His spirit in us to help us come into this. It is His greatest desire to have us His children, consumed whole heartedly by His love. I sincerely want to live daily in this reality, that my life will be all about the one who first loved me.
