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...

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...

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...

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 ...
