A TEMPORAL TREASURE BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA




A TEMPORAL TREASURE BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

This mortal body we carry can deceive us sometimes. There is a way it can make us think we might die when we don't give it, its needs per time.

Why is it that the time when we desire to deny ourselves of physical pleasures is when we begin to feel discomfort?

Why is it that the time when we desire to deny ourselves of physical food is when we begin to remember the sweet aroma of the food we once cooked? We wished we could just eat at that moment and feel comfortable. This body needs to be disciplined my friend.

People call you a glutton and you really love the name. Where are all the foods you have been consuming since? Our body need physical food to sustain it though, but a place of discipline is needed. You don't consume everything that comes your way.

The only thing that this body love is comfort and pleasure. It doesn't like it when you expose it to tough things. When you feel like staying awake in the night to pray is when you will be baptised with sleep from no where. The sleep will suit you like sugar. You sleep back only to discover it's a new dawn. The deed has been done, you can't reverse the time again.
God please have mercy on us.

I remembered some years ago when I started marathon fasting in my local church. When it gets to the second day of the fast, i would go and meet my mum and order some foods from her. I would ask her to please help me get banana, first thing (smiles), tea, milk, bread, garri etc. She would ask me the stomach that would contain all the mentioned foods and I would tell her not to bother about it.

But to my greatest surprise, whenever it was time to break the fast, I would not even be able to finish my bread and tea let alone remembering other stuffs. After sometimes, she never gave in to my requests (Smiles)..

Are you on fasting and you feel like devouring every food that comes your way immediately after the fast? You can't sir. This is to tell that this body is fading away. Food can't keep it, sleep can't preserve it, only the LIFE OF GOD (ETERNAL LIFE)  can preserve it.

Do not yield to the temptation of this body because though is perishing, our inward man is renewed day by day after the knowledge of Him that created him.

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...

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...

OVERFAMILIARITY CAN DENY US OF MANY BLESSINGS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

OVERFAMILIARITY CAN DENY US OF MANY BLESSINGS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI Each time I am home, my sister would always beg me to plait my hair for me and I will be like you can't make my hair  but have seen her make beautiful hair for other people. What's worrying me? Overfamiliarity. I have been very amazed when people give testimony of how a man of God prays for them and they are healed. The wife of the same  man of God is at home sick but due to the unbelief of the wife and the familiarity, she doesn't believe in her husband's prayers and so she will remain in that state.  So many opportunities some of us have missed because we are proving too familiar with our friends. We think since we are close to them, we are closer to opportunities  and we can also misbehave. Some of us will not even ask questions about how they were able to get to that point. We know they are very much ahead of us, instead of us to humble ourselves, we bring ourselves to t...
