PURGING
I went to an occasion with my fellow people. It was a competition on cooking, baking, etc. It was an event that we were invited and we just have to honour them by our presence.
Getting there, the organiser asked us to check out the food and baking of the students after serving and eating our food. We all stepped out to the field to check everything. Initially, I didn't have the intention of eating every food but the names and the appearance of the food, cake, juice, etc was just calling me.
So, I and two others were walking round each table, asking for the names of the food, seeing how creative they were in baking and cooking. I really didn't know what happened to me or probably because my other people were tasting the food. So, I decided to join the tasting train o. I tasted every food and baking i walked past till I got to the last table.
Some people even gave us extra cake after collecting our special package of cake from the organiser. One of my people who saw me on the field, was just smiling and nodding his head seeing me tasting from every table I passed across and he told me "Well-done". I smiled feeling like I have tasted new foods.
When I got home, I gave some of the cakes out to our neighbor children and I ate the remaining ones. The next day, only for me to wake up with a stomach ache and running to defecate. It was very painful. Ko easy
Smiles, that is the end of my story o and I am doing fine now but I got something's from this experience which I tag PURGING
Just as my friend was smiling and nodding his head, seeing me tasting some foods. Is the same way God is looking at you, after receiving a lot of words/rhema/explanation of the word from different people and which are likely to affect your spiritual life because of the way you received them.
So knowing how harmful they can be to you, he begins to purge you. Removing and renewing your mind for his own purpose. That process might be painful but it's to make you a better person and for you to become that which He wants you to be, you must give in to the process. It's a cleansing and regenerating process and it's only for a while.
My dear sisters,
It can be that toxic relationship
It can be those ungodly advice's
It can be those worldly activities
It can be those friends you keep
Whatever it is, don't run away from the process. It is to make you a better person. Though some of them might come with pains, tears, etc but it's to become more of Him.
I know if not all but some of you, might have prayed this prayer. "Father, until I become all you want don't stop working in me". This will have to do with purging because, it will come with a lot of cleansing. Don't give up on your purging process, it just for a period and it won't kill you.
Like I once announced, a powerful novel will be released this month. It's 2 in 1, get prepared!!!
God bless you all. I love you!
