On A Mission For God. THIS MEANS WAR!!!

Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle (Psalm 144:1).

Join me in suffering like a good Soldier of Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 2:3).

Who are soldiers? Soldiers are trained to fight for their countries, they usually spend many months, days, years away from their home.  Soldiers are highly trained and well equipped to fight, with the aim to win.  

Soldiers have special love for their countries, this is displayed by their dedication, courage and bravery to fight.

Soldiers are usually loyal to their individual country and to their organisations. Soldiers are instructed to obey their rules and orders.

Do you know that, every Christian that has accepted to follow Jesus as his or her Lord and Saviour, and any Christian that has accepted to follow God's instructions automatically becomes a Soldier of Christ?

What does it mean to be Soldiers of Christ?

Linking it to 2 Timothy 2:3-4, Soldiers of Christ are children of Jesus Christ, those who have accepted Jesus Christ into their hearts.  Those who follow God's instructions, however they are not forced to obey the instructions in comparison to soldiers that are fighting for their countries.  While soldiers of Christ are not forced to obey God's rules, they must be ready to face the consequences of their actions (positive or negative).

Being a soldier of Christ is not full of bed of roses at all times and neither was it mentioned that it would be full of roses. The Bible states in 2 Timothy 2:3-4 that, Soldiers of Christ must endure hardship. This suggests that, as soldiers of Christ, we would suffer, however those who continue to please the Lord and are guided by Him would sail through the hardship.

                                 Are you a Soldier of Christ?

Have I  made a commitment to be a good soldier of Christ? Satan has been defeated by Christ, he knows he has been defeated. Are you defeating him in your daily life?

During hardness, would I still work as a true Soldier and use the right equipment to defeat Satan? 

During hardship, would I be a true Soldier of Christ and would I strengthen my faith so that I can be victorious?

It's not going to be an easy fight or race, there will be wounds, illnesses, mixed emotions, falls, trials, temptations, sufferings etc. 

May the Lord help me to use the armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) to win the victory. As a soldier of Christ, I must have the right training, right attitudes, and be in the right environment to win the battle.

  

The Lord has overcome the world, God said we should be of good cheer (John 16:33).  It is now up-to me to win the victory on earth. Devil must not win this battle.  I must be victorious and keep the faith (1 John 5:4- Because everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world. Our faith is what wins the victory over the world). 


I must not  be a slave to Satan in my conduct, speech, actions and in everything that I do.  

I must read the Word of God every day.

I must defend the Word of God every day.

I must support the Word of God every day.

 I must put into practice God's instructions as written in the Bible.

I must be committed at all times to God regardless of challenges that I may encounter.

I must remember that, FAITH, PRAYER and the WORD of God are my weapons.

I must follow what the Holy Spirit tells me.

I must not quit.

Finally, I must be reliable, dependable, capable and faithful.

Below are the wisdom tips for people that are married.

2)    It is not advisable for you to have a friend of the opposite sex as your best friend.

3)    It is not advisable for you to undertake an action that you will be scared of your spouse finding out.

4)    It is advisable for you to have similar friends with your husband/wife.

Prayer For Your Family and For Your Marriage..

The scripture says that, you shall decree a thing and it shall be established (Job 22:28).  Decree the prayer below into your household.

Dear God,

Thank you Jesus for my family, I appreciate you Lord for my family. I glorify your name for my family. I pray that:

My children will be for signs and wonders (Isaiah 8:18).  

I will be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28).

My family shall be built on godly values and godly principles.

My children will be taught of the Lord.

My marriage shall experience peace.

My children will not give me sleepless nights in Jesus’ name.

The Lord will reveal what He wants us to do as a family, for our children, for myself, for my husband, for my wife, etc.

My husband (wife) and I will not abuse the destiny of our children and of each other in Jesus’ name.

We will not abuse the purpose for our marriage.

Where there is no vision, people perish (Proverbs 29:18). Help us to devise family vision in line with your plans for our lives.

Help me to love my husband (wife) unconditionally.

Help us to be creative in the area of being romantic.

We pray that you will mature us as a couple.

Spiritual maturity Versus Spiritual immaturity

So, how do you distinguish a Christian that is mature and a Christian that is not mature?  Some people believe that, mature Christians pray longer and they are eloquent in their prayer, while some believe  that, mature Christians are always present at every church programmes. Some argue that, immature Christians are always late to church, seldom present in church events, their prayer tends to last for about 5 minutes.

Below post stemmed from messages that I have listened to/read by Pastor Sam Adeyemi and Pastor Enoch Adeboye.

                        Spiritual maturity Versus Spiritual Immaturity

Mature Christians teach others   WHILE immature Christians are currently just being taught.

Mature Christians can distinguish between sound and unsound doctrine WHILE immature Christians are not able to distinguish between sound and unsound doctrine.

Mature Christians faith are active WHILE immature Christians have constant doubt and fear.

Mature Christians have the ability to feast on the deeper things of God WHILE immature Christians are struggling with the basics.

Mature Christians regularly evaluate EVERY area of their lives using the word of God that they read regularly WHILE immature Christians evaluate their lives using the Word of God but based on messages that they have heard only not read, they are not aware whether the Word is true or false.

Mature Christians seldom get angry and they love others WHILE immature Christians keep malice and they gossip regularly.

Mature Christians must be able to manage his or her family very well.

Being a Christian is a journey and a process.

How are you ensuring that you mature in your faith? Are you making the right choices?

Dealing With “Thus Saith The Lord” Prophecy.

The below post is from one of the blog that I follow: 

 For all my fellow singles that are in church, you know exactly what I’m talking about.  

 

“Jesus said that you are going to be my wife/husband”

 

“The Lord told me you are going to be married on such date to such individual”

 

These prophesies can alter your life forever. For some individuals, instead of seeking the Lord as to how to proceed they just took the word as is on their terms, trying to live up to it.  Then they find that nothing is happening and then a whole bunch of other issues come along. 

 

“Did I do something wrong?” “Am I out of God’s will?” “Does this mean that I’ve missed the marriage boat?”

 

If you are currently asking yourself these questions or others similar to these, please take the following into consideration before casting doom on yourself. 

 

1. Firstly, whenever you get a prophesy it is not something that God wants to keep a secret from you. It is to comfort, encourage, rebuke, edify and such the like. If when you got a word it was not confirmed in your Spirit you can Ask the Lord for confirmation and or clarification. An angel of the Lord came to Gideon, yet he still asked God for a sign (Judges 6). There are other times that you will get a word and know that its from God because it was already lingering in your spirit or because it spoke to issues that are in your past and or present situation. Remember when the prophet went to David regarding Uriah’s wife? When he said what God told him to say, David could confirm it within Himself thats why he pleaded with the Lord for the life of the child (2sam.12:7-16).

 

2. Secondly, what is the order to the promise? What is it that you must do?   Ask the Lord how you should proceed. Remember how Abraham and Sarah tried fulfilling God’s promise to them on their terms? Rationalizing what God said instead of getting their instructions from God. Don’t ever do that for there is a price to pay. Moses was not only told he would deliver the people but he was given instructions as to how. Its the same thing with Gideon. God is not the author of confusion. If the word is real and of Him, He will give you instructions. 

 

3. Thirdly, who is the prophet? Has he/she been proven true in the past? How do they benefit from what is being proclaimed to you? Is the prophet living for God? Remember by their fruits you shall know them. The prophet should never be in contradiction to the word of God.  

 

So if you got a prophesy regarding your spouse to be, please make sure that you seek the Lord and resolve it in yourself. Because you don’t want to be taken advantage of. In addition, if the prophesy is of God and you don’t believe it, unfaithfulness can also cause you delays. Never stop seeking the Lord .

My MESS...it's now my MESSAGE

About five years ago--- I was given a prophesy about someone I would marry-- we met in the most remarkable way-- I was blown away. We both were of the faith and so I thought we both believed in waiting for marriage before we engaged in sex.I later found out that he was not interested in waiting and after a while all our conversations were centered around that. It was very uncomfortable. Here I was in love with this man (supposedly a preacher, prophet and pastor) who was of the view that since we are gonna get married, nothing is wrong if we do it. Things got so nasty that he started calling me a religious fanatic and childish. I started getting dreams of him being with other women and I also got a vision of him secretly marry someone else. I didnt want to believe them. I never struggled with self esteem but this guy destroy my strength. I started questioning my very belief and felt like it was my fault things were falling apart. His ministry started growing and he was now travelling-- then he told me its not working out. Needless to say I was devastated! 

But today I give GOD the glory! For His protection in my weakness moments. God used that situation and taught me many lessons that has really helped me to recognize the voice of the LOrd. All of this made me pray more. Made me read my bible more and little by little my strength came back. I later found out that he was indeed fooling around with many women. I was devastated but it would have felt worst if I had given myself to him. I was grateful for that! HE married someone esle secretly--- he lied about it when I asked him about it- but I confirmed it to be true. BEcause of all the infidelity I can only imagine the horror of that woman. I pray for her strength and that he really changes. No woman should have to suffer through that. I really felt like him leaving me was a blessing.

But I am mostly grateful for the fact that I could forgive him. An I told him the same. He contacted me in last year-- terminally ill. With no funds. and I gave him assistance. He had the nerve of trying to get back with me. I declined. I am waiting on God's best. 

Today I can truly say that this has made me better not bitter! My mess became my message. I started writing because of this stress. Today I have 3 books that minister to others. I want to encourage all singles to remain faithful to God- He will give you the right spouse in His time.
