THE STRANGER


"How did I allow you into my life, you stranger? Where did I go wrong? What was I thinking till I slept and woke up with a stranger who has refused to leave. I know due to my own carelessness, I opened the door for him to come in and now, I am living by his way. 

My life is totally under his control and influence. What else is left of me daddy, I have lost it. Daddy please help me" Sis Gloria said as she knelt down in front of the pastor, crying as she held his legs.

"Sis Gloria, all these you are doing, can't solve anything. You haven't explained what happened, you are only speaking in parables. Come out plain to me, who is the stranger? He asked

"Daddy, I am sorry. I am ashamed of myself. The stranger is Satan. I allow him into my life due to my selfish interest, love of the temporary things,etc. Ever since he entered, I lost my zeal for the things of Christ. He made me satisfy him as I began to do the opposite.

I have now become someone people would see and join hands to pray for. Daddy, me that was usually active, is no where to be found. I didn't even realise I am deviating until today, when I was listening to music in my phone and one of your messages, titled:- Take Heed played next. That was when I realised I was departing gradually from His presence. Daddy please help me, I need to be fixed. I cannot do it alone" Sis Gloria pleaded as she could stop crying.

Hmm, this is a message to everyone especially the Christians. This season can expose us to a lot of things but please, let's hold on to our faith. 

Boredom can be a way to allow stranger(Satan) into our lives. Yes, he becomes a stranger immediately we confess Jesus as our Lord and saviour because our body becomes his temple (1Corinthians 6:19). So, it's not Us which lives but Christ which lives in us (Galatians 2:20). So, we need to be caution of his tactics especially during this season of stay at home because he would come in different ways and still make us feel that we are aligned. 

Make sure this stay at home won't allow you stay off Christ by minimizing everything that can distract us. Also, make sure you stay connected to those that can help you spiritually:- Online platforms, etc. Study the Bible and speak out, to people that can help you.

Moreover, find yourself back to worship. Be broken and be open before God. He knows everything so you don't have to hide anything from him. Pray to him, seek for his mercy and he would fix you back.

God bless you as you do so.

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
