Am I Really Saved?😭🤔

Greetings my friend! It's another week and yet another month so happy new month as we say in Nigeria. I hope you had a good weekend.

This post I believe is a reminder or reassurance (if you will) that your salvation is genuine. I am not talking to everyone but I believe I am speaking to someone that God wants to reassure of their inheritance in Him.

As Christians we desire and try to please God daily(or at least I hope that's the case) but we are still flawed. We slip up in different ways and sometimes even the same way multiple times.

It's easy to begin to doubt your confession of Christ as Lord, to doubt your salvation experience, your baptism in the Holy Ghost and all that you have experienced in Christ.

I am here to remind you that

... it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Romans 10:10

...if you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord" and in your heart you have faith that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9 CEB

That is God's word. If you truly believe(d) and confess(ed) Jesus as Lord at that moment you are/were saved.

Now while your spirit is born again instantly , your mind is not. It requires renewal(DAILY). Your mind is a very important factor in governing your life and that is why the Bible says to guard our hearts(minds) with all diligence.

As you walk with God deliberately, your mind is renewed and your born again spirit finds expression but when we do not renew our minds through the WORD and CONSISTENT PRAYER, we fall and fall and fall.

Nothing wrong with falling as long as you get back up yeah? Well yes and no. Yes because you get up; No because if you fall too many times on the same spot,you just may give up.

All that is by the way. Today if you are asking God "why do I keep doing this particular thing?". If you've heard and seen many people testify of how God broke their addiction to pornography or drugs or drinking or sex or partying or whatever in an instant but you have prayed and cried and wailed and fasted and sworn and vowed and done everything but it seems hopeless, you may be tempted to throw in the towel and say "maybe I'm not really saved" or "maybe God does not love me enough to free me" or "maybe I was born this way and cannot do anything"  but I say to you ALL LIES.

Struggle is a good thing! How? It shows you are not satisfied. As long as you continue to press towards God and press into Him, it is a matter of when and not if! The when was over 2000 years ago. That was when Christ paid for your freedom. We must walk in that MINDedness and everything else will flow from there.

God has you my friend. Hang in there! Help is here. Jesus has not given up on you. DO NOT GIVE UP ON HIM.

Father, YOUR strength is made perfect in our weakness and we sure have a lot of weaknesses so we ask for Your strength. We want to please you but we know for sure that WE CANNOT do it by ourselves so we accept your grace in this our hour of need in Jesus' name (amen)

Thanks for reading. Do share with a friend. You never know who needs to hear these things. God bless you and have a great week 🤗🤗

Hang In There!

Hello! It's been a really long time since I wrote anything and I'm glad to be able to bring you something from God today. Once in a while, I feel an impression on my spirit man to share a word which is as I've experienced, a word in season. This is one of those "once in a while-s". This season I just feel the need to tell you to hang in there my brother/sister. I feel very strongly the need to encourage you in WHATEVER situation you find yourself. But keep your hope to the end and you will experience life and deliverance. Matthew 24:13 TPT Brethren these are trying times for many people but we are encouraged in Scripture to hold on, to hang in there, to believe God, to believe that faithful is He that has promised, to believe that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. I encourage you to just trust. I know it is hard. You just finished with undergrad schooling and things are not looking up. Your "mates and juniors " see

The Following Signs 🏃🏾‍♂️

Hello there! It's a new week and I hope wherever you are reading from that you are investing in the things of the Spirit this season. Believe me, those who have and those who have not will be as distinct as night and day in the coming days. It is foolishness to have access to all that is God's and remain in the poverty that is the pleasure of the world. When last did you tell someone about Jesus? When last did you open your mouth or type to someone that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that NOBODY can come to the Father EXCEPT through Him.  Many believers do not remember the meaning of the word "believer" or from Whom that word in this context draws meaning.  Are you a believer? "Yes" In what/Whom do you believe? "Jesus"  Do you know what He said? "Yes" Do you believe what He said? "Yes" Do you know the implication of what He said? "Yes" With all these yeses, where is the evidence? Where is the evidence tha

Respect the Anointing

Heyyy folks, welcome to an unusual discussion at an unusual time of the week too👀. I hope your week has been good so far. I bet if anything came to mind when you saw the topic of today's post, it was "we must respect men of God" or "the anointing you don't respect cannot work for you". Those are good and true but not today's context. Today I'm asking you to respect the anointing on YOUR life. Every child of God has an anointing on their life. You are the anointed of God as long as you have professed Christ's Lordship in your life. Many christians live less than fulfilling lives because they walk ignorant of the anointing and its purpose. God wants to use us (YOU reading this and ME) for amazing things in this world: To heal the sick, raise the dead, to restore, to build, to demolish amongst other things. Many of us do not know or do not remember that we are on a mission. EVERY TIME YOU INHALE AND EXHALE, YOU OWE GOD YOUR SERVICE. Where am I
