GEOGRAPHICAL CHRISTIANS BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

It is still fresh in your memory how you used to be fervent back then on campus. If the devil mistakenly showed up then, you could burst his head. Not funny though.

You were not someone who could miss fellowship programs for just any reason. Studying your bible then wasn't burdensome. You could pray for hours and still felt like praying more.

What has happened to you now? Why suddenly the lukewarmness?

You have blamed your laxity on your pastors. You say they are not burning like your papa on campus. Common friend, that's not it. Stop blaming them.

Why do you find it an uphill task in maintaining a steady walk with God? Right now, you are too weak to say no when temptation comes knocking at your door.

Do you think the forces of darkness are behind your plight? Do you also think your stagnancy was due to the reinforcement from the pit of hell?

You are simply a geographical Christian whose growth is confined only to a particular location. You were doing those things because you were accountable to some people. You are like, "if I don't pray, mama will ask me. " You were only studying your bible so that you might have something to share.

What then is the way out?

1. Be accountable to God and not to man alone.

2. If truly you love God, if truly your encounter with him was genuine, you will flow with him. Or do you have issues talking with your intimate friend?

3. Bring the consciousness of God to everywhere you find yourself. God is not confined to a particular location.

4. Be deliberate about your growth. Meanwhile, trust in the Lord with all your heart.... Proverbs 3:5

Finally, be consistent. There is no shortcut to spiritual growth. Even a man who must grow physically must consistently eat.

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...

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 ...
