GATHER UP YOURSELF AND BEGIN AGAIN BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

How many of us have stopped what we were doing just because a man didn't support our vision?

How many of us have thrown away our belief due to pressures from our family and friends?

How many of us have decided to join the league of the commoners simply because we fear persecutions?

I have something to say to you and I pray may it encourages you and bring you back to your feet.

When the bill was passed that no one should ask anything from God, Daniel went to his house, opened his windows and prayed as was his custom before the king's order. He was dauntless and determined. He chose to please God rather than man.

Ranging from old testament times to the new testament, any man who dares to be different is always faced with distractions.

Despite the persecutions Paul and the other apostles faced, they never denied the faith. They chose to rather suffer afflictions than to enjoy the moment in disobedience to God. They were men who had conviction. These men saw something, I mean they didn't form these things.

They were men who had the substance. They have gathered substance. That which they have seen, which they have heard and handled of the word of life made a difference. 1John 1:1. They couldn't deny the faith because they have handled the real thing.

Do you see any man who suddenly stops on the way? He is confused and doesn't know where he is going. He is shallow and have little or no root so he can't survive the storm. He does everything on the surface level, so when the storms of life come, he is easily blown away.

Do you see any man who is rooted in Christ? I tell you he will stand by God's grace no matter what may happen.

I like us to pray that God will cause us to be rooted and grounded in him. We won't have any cause to deny the faith but will rather contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.

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...

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms. Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts. One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...

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...
