Fear Not 😁

Hello there my dear reader. It's been longer than it should have been. I promise it was not social media distancing 😂. I hope you are doing well and are at peace even with the mayhem unleashed on the world by COVID-19. Always remember 2 Tim 1:7 when fear tries to creep up in your spirit.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].
2 Timothy 1:7 AMP

Whilst we are advised to take precautions and observe the guidelines presented by medical experts and advisers, there is a SPIRITUAL guideline that you need to adhere to if you want to not only survive this but thrive in the midst of this. There has to be a difference between those who know OF God and those who know God in this season. What side of the fence do you stand on?

Maybe the reason I had not written anything since the start of this pandemic was that I felt there was already so much talk about faith and prayer and being close to God that I did not need to say it too. I believe I was wrong and so I am here today to encourage you to pick up and put on the shield of faith in this season.

The truth is whilst the virus is dangerous to one's body, the fear behind it is a much more dangerous force causing people to err even fatally. The real pandemic here is the spear of fear. The enemy is having fun. I believe that just like Jesus saw faith in people and that attracted Him and miracles followed, the enemy will get you afraid so he can operate. You must regain your faith in God. Trust what He has said. If you don't know what He has said then you need to find out by searching the Scriptures and studying them. Don't be collateral damage in this war. Put on the armour of God.

Therefore, put on the complete armor of God, so that you will be able to [successfully] resist and stand your ground in the evil day [of danger], and having done everything [that the crisis demands], to stand firm [in your place, fully prepared, immovable, victorious]. Above all, lift up the [protective] shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one .
Ephesians 6:13‭, ‬16 AMP.

Heavenly Father we thank You for who You are. We ask that You forgive us and give us peace in our hearts and in our world in Jesus' name (amen)

Have a great holiday folks! Make it count 😁

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
