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You are outdated in knowledge.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...

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy.  I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me.  So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms.  For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things.  A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

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...
