IT IS AGAINST OUR KINGDOM PRINCIPLE BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA


IT IS AGAINST OUR KINGDOM PRINCIPLE 

BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

"If you are still where you used to be six years ago, you still keep repeating the same mistakes, it means you have put a full stop to your growth. Day after day, we must keep growing in the knowledge of the truth. "

Reflection
*I went to a program with some brethren some time ago. When a man of God was ministering, he was just talking about glory, battle and all that. You understand what I mean now. Some of my beloved brethren just turned their chairs to the back and started another discussion. Little did they know that this man really needed help. We turning our chairs to the back won't help the matter. Discussing other issues while the "hot' prayers were going on will create divided attention. Praying such prayers won't help the matter too. What do we do? 

First of all, we need to be clear of this, we are the body of Christ. Christ is the head of the church. 
You are a significant part of the body. Without you, the body is incomplete. 

Can you say to your hands that you do not need it service again? 
When any part of the body is missing, there is high tendency that there will be ineffectiveness.

If you don't know, once a man is born again, he is integrated into the family where God is the father, Jesus is the first born and we follow after. 
When anyone of us makes mistake, it is not our kingdom principle to make jest of him

When anyone of us is not getting it right, it is not our kingdom principle to write him off. 
When your legs are stucked in the mud and you say it is none of your business, somewhere somehow, it will affect the whole body. 
When my sister is missing it, she is part of us. We don't have to neglect her. 

Do you even know the mystery behind brother and sister we call ourselves? 
We are brethren. 
We won't make much progress if we continue to speak ill of others. 
You are only displaying immaturity by speaking evil of other brethren. 

Do you think the fivefold ministry is just for us to brag? 
No sir, it is for the equipping of the saints. 
Till we all come to the unity of the faith, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of God. 
Are you a teacher and I am a prophet? Please celebrate my uniqueness. 
Learn from me and let me hear from you too. 
Let's grow together. 

Am I saying what I am not supposed to say? 
Am I acting against our kingdom lifestyle? 
Have I decided to peg my growth? 
Please don't look at me with non challant attitude. 
You are responsible for me. 
Please call me to order. If I don't heed, please don't give up. 
I need help, you also need help. 

We are not ignorant of the devices of the devil to attack our unity. 
We are not blind. 
We will all grow. 
We won't be stagnant. 
My brother will be happy seeing me grow. 
My sister will be glad seeing am no longer where I used to be.
Though we are not at the same level now, our hope is the same. 
Our destination is God. 
Our vocation is to become like Christ. 
Though my sister is missing it now, I am not discouraged. She is getting  there. 
I will pray for her that this reality be dawn on her too. 



Watch out: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear my voice;  and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

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...

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL  THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray.  CAUTION: Don't pray amiss.  The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program  and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right?  God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning.  When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...

LET THEM KNOW YOUR STAND BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

LET THEM KNOW YOUR STAND BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI While I was publicizing my new book (Maximizing your single days and beyond) on the social media, I said I was single. Though I was seeing it from a different point of view due to the information I wanted to pass across about the book, some misquoted me. One of the people I respected so much said, it was better I add my engagement status to save myself from unnecessary distraction.   I saw messages popping in. Messages like, "hello babe", someone even said, "don't worry, even if you have nobody, I will take you in." I was like "I don enter am. " Thank God for wisdom in attending to the issue. Later added my engagement status to the article.  Majority of those who are shy in declaring their engagement status when asked is because they are still looking for a better option. They are not satisfied with what they have. They are in search of someone better.  If what brought ...
