WHEN A MAN LOSES HIS WONDER BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

WHEN A MAN LOSES HIS WONDER BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

"When we keep our gaze on the lord, we will not be distracted by lesser glories that come to distract us." Rev Ken Igbinedion

*When a man is gradually decaying and it is unknown to him, there is no remedy from destruction for him*

When a man shifts his focus from the miraculous God to miracles, 

When a man shifts his attention from beholding God and begins to behold vanity,

When a man begins to see his circumstances instead of seeing the God who is over circumstances, 

He has begun to lose his wonder. 

When a man no longer sees the need for personal fellowship, 

When a man begins to see seeking God as a burden, 

He has begun to lose his wonder gradually. 

When a man begins to replace spiritual exercises with activities, 

When a man begins to see himself as lord of all, 

When a man begins to accumulate all the glory to himself instead of to God, 

He has begun to lose his wonder. 

When a man begins to pull others down, 

When a man no longer sees anything in it indulging in secret sins, 

When a man begins to dissociate himself from the brethren, 

When a man no longer needs the help of others, 

When a man is self-sufficient and not God-dependent, 

He has begun to lose his wonder.

When a man detests reproof but rather enjoys commendations, 

When a man begins to die silently and he can't open up to anyone who could be of help, 

He is beginning to lose his wonder gradually. 

My prayer this time for us is that:

 may we never lose our wonder;

Wide-eyed and mystified, 

May we be just like a child;

Staring at the beauty of our king, 

May we never lose our wonder.
