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.

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"

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT

SEX DOES NOT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT A whole lot of things must have been conceived in your mind before indulging in sex. That act you carried out was as a result of a lot of mental works that you have carried out in your mind before you finally carried it out. Here are things to know before sex can actually happen between two people outside wedlock, rape situations excluded please. 1. Men generally, are moved by what they see. So, when a guy visits you and the next thing you do is to expose your cleavages, wear bum shorts, with just the two of you behind closed doors, honestly speaking, that guy would have a whole lot of dirty things going on in his mind. You are inviting him either consciously or unconsciously. 2. Women generally, are turned on by sweet words spoken to them by men. Yes, we love it when we hear how amazing we are, how pretty we are. When a particular guy showers you with incessant praises, you tend to fall in love with such and this may br

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 was just
