  • YOUR FLESH IS LYING TO YOU
    The flesh communicates it's cravings through lies
    The flesh will lie to you so it can fulfill its desires
    So you get into that situation that you thought you could handle and you fail or fall into sin wondering what really happened to you
    Many people have fallen into sin because they thought they were capable of handling that evil but the flesh lied
    You will fall because your flesh actually wants it. It is leading you to what it wants under the disguise of being strong enough to resist and overcome
    The flesh wants you to be free from the guilt of sin, not from the sin itself
    The flesh justifies the acts of the flesh and it makes you believe that it doesn't temper with your relationship with God
    In Romans 13.13,14 Apostle Paul warned the believers to make no provision for the flesh
    This is the way to self-deception; it is subtle, it is slow, but it can submerge your soul
    Everyday you wake up, always check if you have started deceiving yourself because your flesh doesn't care where you spend eternity since it wouldn't be there.
    Here's the standard for true repentance;
    - Realize your wrongs
    - Repent from the wrong and
    - Renounce the patterns and the ways
    Never postpone repentance, it must be right here, right now and for the rest of your life.
    Always remember, the flesh will lie to you to fulfill its desires, but the trust will set you free right now, right here and for the rest of your life!

  • Stop Prayerlessness

    When you continue in prayerlessness as a lifestyle, you are embracing ungodliness as a lifestyle. Prayerlessness is self-reliance.

    We depend on God to desire God - to be more like Christ.

    ...Whichever approach you adopt - be found praying!

  • Embracing Spiritual Discipline
    • The more you respond to the Spirit of God, the more you lose the desire to do worldly things.
    • The greatest enemy to your Spiritual growth is your flesh.
    • Discipline is deciding to do the things that you know you should do even irrespective of the influence of your emotions. You remain committed even when it is not convenient for your emotions.
    • Growth is gradual, stop waiting for an emotional experience to confirm spiritual realities.
    • Walk in the Spirit to subject the flesh, and then it becomes easy to resist the devil.

    • THE STRENGTH OF YOUR WEAKNESS
      “Stay awake and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”” Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭41‬ ‭CSB‬‬
      God will give you desires but it is up to you to make decisions.

    • UNCERTAINTY and FEAR
      “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand.”_ (Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬ ‭CSB‬‬)
      I don’t want you to know everything, I want you to WALK WITH ME to and through everything! - GOD
      Have a Blessed week friends.

    • The Rewards of Obedience
      Sometimes the reward/result of obedience doesn't come immediately. When it doesn't come immediately, it is a test to see if we will remain consistent in the path of obedience.
      Sometimes God gives us a sign to assure us that what He has promised is going to come to pass.
      Continue to consistently walk in the path of obedience and righteousness. Much more than the result you get externally is the results you get internally. Training your heart and mind and spirit to walk in righteousness.
      Rejoice at the signs that God is giving you because it's a sign that the wonder is coming.

    • Evil in Disguise
      God created us to worship Him, to love Him, to love people and use money, but what greed does is that it makes you love self, worship money and use people.
      Greed is the illegitimate and unauthorized desire or pursuit in acquisition of material gain.
      If you use illegal or immoral means to acquire things, then you're driven by greed.
      If you complain more than you give thanks then you're driven by greed.
      If you're more concerned about your cash than your character, then you're greedy.
      If you treat people with money better than people without it, then you're greedy.
      If you hurt others in order to get something for yourself then you're greedy.
      If you crave and plot to possess what legitimately belongs to somebody else, you're hanging out with another relation of greed which is called covetousness.
      You can be giving things and still be greedy. Generosity begins with giving thanks and not giving things.
      Be contented, grateful and watchful of your desires. Your luxury is at God's discretion!

    • LOVE WILL WIN YOUR HEART AGAIN
      Irrespective of what your flaws are, never allow your mess to keep you far from home. If you feel messy, run home.
      Our sins change our perspective of God and never God's perspective of us.
      His steadfast Love keeps chasing after us, and there's no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still.
      Though we're incomplete, God loves us completely, though we're imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost without a compass, God's love encompasses us completely.
      God loves everyone of us and you would never look into the eyes of a person God doesn't love. Romans 5.8.

    • Unseen doesn't mean Insignificant
      Sometimes it is not about how many followers you have, it is about who is following you.
      Your identity isn't in the roles you play - that can be taken away from you.
      The secret to a settled Identity is the awareness that you belong to God. Your identity is in your connection with God.
      Who we are is revealed by whose we are.
      Don't measure yourself by everyone's standard and any other standard.
      An eternal standard of measuring our values and worth is the cross of Jesus.
      Find out what God's word say about you and say Amen!
