MADE FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

MADE FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS  The other day, I saw pillow challenge online. I thought I had seen it all until I saw pregnancy challenge. I even heard there was another flat-tummy challenge. You know the heartbreaking thing there, it's only females that are participating in the challenge.  Before you justify your actions by saying you are just catching fun, aside from those challenge that will never add anything to your progress, which other one did you participate in? If there's a demand that you participate in prayer or word challenge, will you do the same? You will definitely overlook the challenge. You will give excuses of not having enough time. Even if partaking in a challenge is what will build you up, you will give flimsy excuses.  This is to tell us how much some of us have missed it. We can spend the whole of the day having plenty talks with our friends, yet we can't spend few minutes in God's presence. We can spend thousands of naira just

THE GOAL IS NOT TO LOOK LIKE IT

THE GOAL IS NOT TO LOOK LIKE IT Young man, aside the fact that people see you wearing oversized shirts and trousers, what other evidence can you give to us that you have met with Christ?  The goal is to be a Christian and not to look like one.  Christians are not known by the big trousers and oversized shirts they wear.  If christians are known by that, I am afraid.  Few days ago, I asked a lady if she was born again and the only evidence she gave was that she no longer dress the way she used to dress.

A woman posted two of her photos. She wore trousers and heavy makeup in one of the picture, she wore a long skirt in the second picture and according to her, that's an evidence she's now born again.  While we were growing up, we were made to understand that every lady wh

PERHAPS YOU WERE BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

PERHAPS YOU WERE BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS   Gideon was born as  result of the cry of the Israelites that went to God against the midianties. His birth was an answer to their prayers even if he didn't look like it at his birth. But he kept on showing up.  Esther was born at such a time when one wicked Haman wanted to get rid of the Jews. She wasn't just in the palace to enjoy the moment. She understood her purpose and assignment. She wasn't carried away by the splendour of the King's palace. She was not carried away by her position.  Esther understood why she found herself in the palace at that time. She showed up at the right time.  Young man, maybe the reason why you existed in this generation is to show up in your family's affair. It's not just for you to occupy space.  Your lady, perhaps you were born for such a time as this when godly ladies are scarcely found, where immorality is celebrated in every walks of life.  You are
