CAN YOU PAY THE PRICE BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA




CAN YOU PAY THE PRICE BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

"Until you are ready to pay the sacrifice for greatness, forget it! You will only remain a mediocre."



*Please ask those who have made it to the top if they got there on a platter of gold, or they just found themselves there accidentally.*



*You don't just confess greatness, you act it out. If we just profess greatness with no resultant force, we are only opting for mediocrity*



*A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, so your poverty will come like a prowler, and your want like an armed man.*


Reflection:
When we see someone who is prosperous in his field, we don't want to ask him the price he paid to get there, we don't want to know the inconveniences he has battled with. All we ever care about is just to be like him.  Our desire will only remain a wish when we substitute sacrifice for pleasure. 



√You see Lionel messi as the greatest footballer of our time. You desire to be like him yet you lack these things that have made him best footballer for close to a decade now:
*Balance
*Composure 
*Control 
*Dribbling 
*Generosity 
*Passing
*Power
*Speed
*Awareness 
*Strength 




Can I ask you these questions and please be honest to yourself? 
How many hours do you practise? 
How many skills have you got? 
Your hope will only be dashed in the air by your negligence. 



You hear some Gospel artistes sing and you fall in love with their trained voices. 
You always desire to be like them, yet you don't have time for rehearsing. 
You haven't learnt any skill. 
You can eat anything despite knowing that for you to train your voice, you must be disciplined in stuffs you consume. 
Do you think they got there on a platter of gold? 


You want to become a specialist in your field, 
Yet you don't even study. 
You take your work lightly. 
You are outdated in knowledge. 
Without any apology, greatness is far. 
It will only remain a wish. 



Now to the crucial matter. 
You desire to know God intimately. 
You want to be like some great men of God. 
You want to be a voice in your generation.
You want to touch higher realms. 
Yet you are complacent in the place of fellowship. 
You are inconsistent and negligent in your walk with God. 
You don't give attention to reading spiritual books that could be of help. 
You sit and cross your legs waiting for a miracle to catapult you to that height. 
You can't pay sacrifice, then forget it. 




Until you are ready to pay the price, please forget it! 


I communicate strength to your feeble knees this day.

THE POWER OF IMPURE THOUGHTS BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

THE POWER OF IMPURE THOUGHTS BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA "When a man constantly feeds on impure substances, he is simply feeding his heart with garbage." Impure thoughts are powerful such that they render you incapacitated in the things of the spirit.  They have a way of captivating your heart and making you see no need for pressing deep into the realities of the spirit.  Those articles you have downloaded and digested can't add any substance of value to you, but would rather take away vital substance from you.  Those disgusting discussions you have engaged yourself in will only impair your vision.  Show me a man who has been feeding his heart with garbage, and I will show you a man who has been held captive by this garbage.  You can't continue to sow impure ideas and expect to reap pure meditation.  A man who engages himself in impure thoughts would only be a stumbling block to his growth.  No wonder you have been entan...

FLEE! BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

FLEE! BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA Let's start this way!  What is flee? Flee means to run away; to escape. In other words, run for your life.  You think you still need to pray about it when God says flee?  That prayer of yours is foolishness when the word already says flee.  That lady came into your room in the night half naked and you started speaking in tongues. Will tongues chase her out at the moment? What can we call that act of yours, sir?  That man keeps giving you questionable attention, yet you continue to collect gifts from him instead of you to escape for your life.  When you accidentally bump into porn sites and you feel reluctant to leave, what are you supposed to do? Please flee. Don't feed your eyes with evil.  You don't need an audible voice to tell you that you are in danger zone when youthful lust comes knocking at your door.  Flee is the instruction given in the word of God.  D...

OVERFAMILIARITY CAN DENY US OF MANY BLESSINGS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

OVERFAMILIARITY CAN DENY US OF MANY BLESSINGS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI Each time I am home, my sister would always beg me to plait my hair for me and I will be like you can't make my hair  but have seen her make beautiful hair for other people. What's worrying me? Overfamiliarity. I have been very amazed when people give testimony of how a man of God prays for them and they are healed. The wife of the same  man of God is at home sick but due to the unbelief of the wife and the familiarity, she doesn't believe in her husband's prayers and so she will remain in that state.  So many opportunities some of us have missed because we are proving too familiar with our friends. We think since we are close to them, we are closer to opportunities  and we can also misbehave. Some of us will not even ask questions about how they were able to get to that point. We know they are very much ahead of us, instead of us to humble ourselves, we bring ourselves to t...
