KNOWING GOD FOR YOURSELF BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

KNOWING GOD FOR YOURSELF BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

A man of God said in a program I attended few weeks back: "our children must have their personal experiences with God. They must not only know God as the God of their fathers, but their God, too."

It is true your parents are praying for you, watching over you at all times, but I want to tell you that you need to have your own personal experience with God.

How does a lady whose mother is the one who reminds her to pick her Bible to read or to pray survive while alone? That means when such lady gets to school, she would not bother opening her Bible because there is no one to remind her.

You don't need to wait for the family devotion daily for your survival. Your altar is calling you. Personal prayer is important as far as family prayer is. Be responsible and accountable.

You don't begin to train your children in the way of the Lord when they are old. Teach them in the way of the Lord and when they are old, they will not depart from it so the Bible says.

I once watched a mount Zion movie titled "Sunset at midday". The guy pretended to be a child of God at home whereas he was another thing on campus. The end of the boy was not good. Who is to be blamed? Do you say his parents? No. For they brought him up in the way of the Lord. He didn't know God for himself. He was only being religious at home.

Religiosity will not do it. That your parents didn't bore holes in your ear do not mean you are following their footsteps.

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth. Ecclesiastes 3:1. That means there is tendency to forget your Creator. What could possibly make you forget Him? The youthful lust, exuberance, of course.

Know Him as the God of your father, but most importantly, know Him as your God. His fatherhood is not confined to some set of people only. He is open to all who may come to Him and accept Him.

It is never too late for you friend. Who is that devil whispering to you that you are late? It isn't late! Know God for yourself.

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...

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...

THE PROPHET TYPE OF MAN (CHAPTER 3)

Give your man all the support he needs. PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL THE PROPHET TYPE OF MAN (CHAPTER 3) Moral to the story: Be flexible for your man. A caution : Your most important job as a prophet's wife is keeping chaste and common sense attitude and conversation (not bad-mouthing folks). Without it, your marriage will be miserable.

Debi Pearl Your ability to know who your man is, what he wants and how to serve him will bring fulfillment and bliss to you. Give your man all the supports he needs ranging from emotional to spiritual support. "The prophet or visionary type of man are maj...

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 ...
