LESSONS FROM THE HEAVY WEIGHTS GUY BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI


LESSONS FROM THE HEAVY WEIGHTS GUY BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI


So, I saw this guy who was lifting weights. He was so determined and rugged. He carried it with so much rigour. He is doing this in order to keep fit and to be in good shape. The training was hard on him but he was persistent.

I thought I had seen it all until I saw another hefty guy carrying those weights even when it was raining. We all hid ourselves when the rain started but this guy didn't leave that spot. No man could talk him out of the rain. He was persistent. It wasn't easy on him. And I began to ask myself that why would a man want to kill himself in order to have a good physique and to keep fit?  Was he doing it to compete? It's probably no. 

Those guys who didn't see them when they  were going through the process will want to be like them overnight. That's not possible. That's another message for another day though. 

....................................................................

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8

You know so many of us don't want to pay any price, we just want to start manifesting. We want all people to see us. We despise process, thinking we could just arrive at manifestation overnight. We want to be like some men of God, caring not to ask how they got there. 

No preparation, no manifestation. 

We don't like to fast
We don't like to pray 
We don't like to stay long in the place of study.
Yet, we want to keep fit and healthy. 

Fellow believers, What measures are you taking in order to keep fit spiritually? 
When last were you able to study your bible? 
When last have you been able to pray? 

When we don't engage in spiritual exercise, we will die of life. Such a Christian is vulnerable to temptations. Such a person will always rise and fall, always revolving around a particular spot. 

Grace upon grace I ask for you!

THREE TYPES OF WOMEN (CHAPTER SIX)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL Moral to the story : Learn and live well.  A caution: Stubbornness shuts the door on understanding..  The BIG Question :What type of man best suits me?  The reason a good portion of your thoughts are wrapped up in thinking about certain men and the hopes of marriage is because you were hard-wired with the overwhelming need to be a wife and mother. It is a God-given need that only a man can fulfill. I can't think of one thing I would rather have than a man to really love me. It is supreme. A lovely person is easy to love. That is our goal. God wants us to make you become a lovely help meet. To be a good one takes effortā€¦ lots of effort.  In this chapter, Debi Pearl outlined the different types of women we have: Dreamer gal, Servant girl, Go-to Gals. Dreamer girl  A dreamer girl needs to know how to balance work with family or else she will sway from her responsibility to honour her ...

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...

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...
