A SLOW FADE




A SLOW FADE 


The other day, I saw a movie where a lady who was doing wonderfully well in ministry started engaging in secret sins. Instead of her to check her life and make amendments, she was going about encouraging young ladies never to engage in those things she was secretly doing. 

She didn't open up to anyone even when God sent people to her. She continued as if everything was alright. 

She found mercy at the verge of death, though she lost her life. 




The same could be said of the young man, Samson. 

The fall of Samson didn't start the same day Delilah sold him out through his secrets. It all started when Samson decided to go in with a harlot. He didn't know what it means to be a Nazarite. He thought he could do what everyone was doing and still get away with it. He thought he was actually having fun. 

Samson was still able to discharge power as usual even after going in with a harlot. He could still do the same thing he used to do. He did not know virtue was actually leaving him gradually. He thought he could get away with it. 

It was a slow fade. 

At this time when people love to stay more on social media than God's presence, it calls for an alarm. You can't continue this way and expect God to commit nations into your hands. 




These days, when I hear people say they can continue in their errors and continue to carry the anointing, hear God and dare great things, I guess they don't know it's a slow fade. It's only a matter of time. i

Listen to me, the only voice you can hear when you are slowly fading away is the voice calling you to repentance, not the voice to continue doing ministry or organizing programs. 

I hear how amazed you are, at the eruption of God's power in your ministrations even though it's been a while you spent time with God in the closet. It is not disputable that you are now popular in the public, but not known by God in the secret place. It's only a slow fade. 

You know a ceiling fan disconnected from the power source will still rotate for a few minutes before it stops abruptly. Sometimes, people may not know the fan has been disconnected because of its activeness but it's only a matter of time. 

It's the same thing with a man who has lost connection with God. Though he can still do what he used to do, he will expire soon unless he checks his life and makes amendments. 




One of the greatest ways we can rob ourselves of God's blessings is to pretend as if everything is alright with us when we actually know it isn't. The earlier we acknowledge this, the better for us. 




Samson didn't know virtue was gradually leaving him as he was compromising. He thought he could get away with it. 

Dear young minister, be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die… Revelations 3:2

Action points 
  • Trace the source of your fall right now. Acknowledge it and cry for help. Help can only be administered to the helpless. 
  • Put on the whole Armour of God that you may be able to stand in the days of evil. 
  • Watch and pray. Do not give any place to the devil. 

You and I will finish strong. 

The reason why you are seeing this is that God is still very much interested in you. He loves you and He asked me to tell you.

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...

OVERFAMILIARITY CAN DENY US OF MANY BLESSINGS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

OVERFAMILIARITY CAN DENY US OF MANY BLESSINGS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI Each time I am home, my sister would always beg me to plait my hair for me and I will be like you can't make my hair  but have seen her make beautiful hair for other people. What's worrying me? Overfamiliarity. I have been very amazed when people give testimony of how a man of God prays for them and they are healed. The wife of the same  man of God is at home sick but due to the unbelief of the wife and the familiarity, she doesn't believe in her husband's prayers and so she will remain in that state.  So many opportunities some of us have missed because we are proving too familiar with our friends. We think since we are close to them, we are closer to opportunities  and we can also misbehave. Some of us will not even ask questions about how they were able to get to that point. We know they are very much ahead of us, instead of us to humble ourselves, we bring ourselves to t...
