"Tori, something is wrong with me. Back then, I usually get several invites to minister but now, things aren't the same.
I don't even understand what is going on. These days no invites yet I have never missed prayers and studying of the word. Everything is just silent.
Oh, I miss those period back then" Bukola said as she was lamenting
"Wow Bukky (short form of Bukola)..I expected more than this from you. Why will you say or even think like this? What's going on with you? Tori said as she was confused
Hmmm..
What many have and are holding unto, is the memory of back then.
You will hear words like, back then in school. I used to be on fire.
Back then, everyone around knew me that I am always hot and on fire
Back then, I could read the scripture ten times a day
Back then, I had several encounters and trance with God
Back then, I had lots of Rhema
Back then, Back then, Back then...
Holding unto the Flashbacks then but what is happening now?
Just because you are in phase, where you are not called to minister doesn't means at every slight chance you have, you refer to the memory of back then.
What is going on with your life now?
Fine, everything around you, is going silently than the usual way, doesn't makes you less than who you are or who you used to be. Just because you aren't called for ministration for a while, doesn't makes you less
Just because you couldn't pray the hours you used to be, doesn't mean you have backslided. Instead speak out and get back on your feet.
Understand every moment you are, hold unto what you have received and what God is saying about the season you are. Don't use the memories of BACK THEN to disrupt the flow of what God has for you in that season
Keep digging,
Keep fellowship,
Keep preaching,
Keep evangelizing
Keep doing what you are called to do privately or publicly.
Don't think any less of yourself and do not judge yourself from the memories of Back Then.
Hold unto God's word and plans for yourself.
Don't be disrupted by the progress of other
Don't be disrupted by what you have done BACK THEN.
You should be moving forward and not backward
God bless and I love you!
