The life of a believer

Going back to our roots.
It hurts me when many people, especially Christians, see someone being intoxicated in the Spirit and despise such person and say such person is doing too much. You don't know what God is doing through the person. You don't know the deposits He is putting in that individual life, and you are not aware of the spiritual impartation going on in such a person. The Bible says, "Do not be drunk with wine but be filled with the spirit of God." That means there is a drunkenness you can have from being filled with Spirit of God that is more than wine (nothing compared to wine). Tell me how you expect such a person to be normal after drinking the spirit of God which is more than wine. Let's examine the story of Jesus when He changed water to wine, the people wanted more wine because it was intoxicating and they had not tasted a better wine than that in their life. The master of the feast asked the servant why he had kept the good wine until the end. God's wine (Spirit) is more precious and has more value than the wine of this world. The wine of the world just causes temporary happiness but God's pure wine causes an everlasting joy. So why are you not drinking God's wine today? Why do you seek a temporary solution for your sorrow in physical wine? Why don't you want to drink from the everlasting wine which gives permanent solution?
Have you ever seen someone so drunk and acting normally? It is not possible. So tell me how you expect someone who is filled with the extraordinary spirit of God to act normal. 
Let us go back to where we started. Let us go back to our foundation. The Bible says if the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Let us go back and find the intimacy we once had with our father. Let us not modernise our prayers, let His spirit leads you, let His spirit teaches you how to pray, for we know not how to pray but His spirit maketh intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered. If you tush yourself before Him, He will also make Himself tush before you. There is no big girl and big boy before the presence of God. Can your earthly father be speaking to you and you say because of a girl or a guy you're crushing on, you disrespect him and not respond to him when he calls or reprimands you. You can't dictate to your father how you want him to commune with you. It's the same with God. He can speak to you however He wants. He is the owner of your life. So dear gen Z, let us come with a humble, broken and a contrite heart before our maker, this He will not despise. He looks at the intent of our heart. Why not give Him your all today and let Him take control? Let Him flow through you. THE KINGDOM OF THIS WORLD HAS BECOME THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD. It is left for you to key into God's agenda for your life.

TRANSFORMATION

Lord Jesus, I want to become the best version of myself, I want to know you more, I want to do your will and I want to be a carrier of your glory. But I can't seem to make them happen, I can't seem to actualize them. My strength fails me, I want to but I can't. The passion to seek you is gone, and the desire is slowly fading away. Psalm 51.  You're in awe...are you still the same person who was so enthusiastic about the things of God? You begin to doubt the authenticity of who you are in Christ. Where am I? What am I? Why am I like this? The devil gradually begins to invade your thoughts and makes you feel worthless.  You allow it because you tell yourself what else can I do? I have tried, I have prayed, I have fasted, but it's still the same. It keeps on going in cycles; I keep rising and falling, there is no result in it.  You comfort yourself and say, "What will be will be?"Does God not see all of these things and watch me wallow in this sit...

Faith

What is faith? Faith as according to the bible is "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1)". Faith is putting our complete trust in God believing he will help us in whatever we have involved him.  Faith comes before a prayer is answered or before an individual has received what he or she has requested from God. If we have received what we asked for, then faith is not needed. So it comes by making your request known to God and trusting him to fulfil that request. An example of this definition is found in Matthew 9:27-30 where two blind men came to Jesus and asked Him to heal them. Jesus first asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” and their reply was, “Yes, Lord.” “Then He touched their eyes saying, According to your faith let it be to you. And their eyes were opened.” Their faith and assurance that Jesus could give them sight was the substance or reality they hoped for. It also gave them the evidence or trust that th...

God is with you

This is relatable to the story of Job. Job 13 says: “Though he slay me, I will hope in him.”  No one and nothing can steal your joy or your peace when your hope is in God.  Never lose your hope in God! Lessons learnt  * Even in the midst of God’s silence, His presence is with us. Job wrestled and wrestled with God’s silence in the midst of his suffering.  Over 25 times he asked the question “why?” and he continually asked for the opportunity to defend his case before God.  * Wisdom comes from fearing God and turning away from evil. * Humility is key.  Pride can interfere with us following the wise ways of the Lord. Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding. * God is with us in the midst of our storms. The Lord is our good shepherd and He never leaves our side.  He walks with us through the valleys.  He restores our soul when we are weary.   He leads us to the path of righteousness when we h...
