DON'T LET THE DEVIL ROB YOU; ENGAGE YOUR MIND BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

DON'T LET THE DEVIL ROB YOU; ENGAGE YOUR MIND BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA 

Have you been to a program before and you see almost everybody connected except you? You seem to be far away. You can't forget at the moment, the appointment you need to keep with someone. 


The memory of the delicacy you prepared at home is fresh. You remember your undone chores at home, to cap it up, you can't but ruminate on the pleasant memories you have had with someone special. 

While the prayer is going on, your mouth keeps moving but you heart seems to have journeyed far. You are like " what's really happening to me? " In short, you might be energetically praying but you know your mind is far. People closer might even be awed by your aggressiveness in prayer whereas, you are disconnected from the source. 

The devil couldn't prevent you from going to church but he succeeded in engaging your mind with matters that could wait after the meeting. 
Don't let him rob you of your blessing. 

Since you are aware of your wandering mind, there is a way out. It means you can be helped. 

What do we do in such cases? 
When I encounter such, I simply bring my mind back by engaging myself in simple prayer of "Lord please have mercy, let me be connected. " Be deliberate in the meeting and let go of distractions. 

You can begin to engage your mind with the things that are of eternal value and not with trivial things. Those things can wait now?Don't allow the devil to rob you of your blessing.

THREE TYPES OF WOMEN (CHAPTER SIX)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL Moral to the story : Learn and live well.  A caution: Stubbornness shuts the door on understanding..  The BIG Question :What type of man best suits me?  The reason a good portion of your thoughts are wrapped up in thinking about certain men and the hopes of marriage is because you were hard-wired with the overwhelming need to be a wife and mother. It is a God-given need that only a man can fulfill. I can't think of one thing I would rather have than a man to really love me. It is supreme. A lovely person is easy to love. That is our goal. God wants us to make you become a lovely help meet. To be a good one takes effortā€¦ lots of effort.  In this chapter, Debi Pearl outlined the different types of women we have: Dreamer gal, Servant girl, Go-to Gals. Dreamer girl  A dreamer girl needs to know how to balance work with family or else she will sway from her responsibility to honour her ...

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...

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...
