YOUR COUNSEL MAY NOT BE NEEDED

©TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

We can always give our piece of advice to people on issues, and at the same time, we must learn how not to enforce our opinion on people. Don't be Lords over people.

I have seen persons who became cold-hearted towards others who refused to take heed to their pieces of advice. You have given your own opinion, you may follow it up with prayers if it will be needful.

I read a story online of a brother who rained curses on a sister just because she rejected his proposal. The guy was like if you don't marry me, you won't find anyone interested in you again.

Even Jesus never forced anyone to follow him.

I was surprised when I read 2 Samuel 17:23 where Ahithophel hung himself when his counsel was not followed. What an angry man!

That act of yours that always want people to do everything you say, to follow you without thinking twice is bewitchment. And bewitchment is not an attribute of a true Son of God.

Naomi could have forced Ruth and Oprah to follow her, but she left them to their opinions. Ruth made the decision on her own to follow Naomi and we know the rest of the story. It was glorious for her.

The lesson is that, do not enforce your opinion on people. You can only advise. The best you can do for the person is to pray that God convince such if you are sure that's the right thing.

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 ...
