Who is Your Adviser?

 Who is Your Best Adviser?

Are you disturbed with knowing how to determine good advice? Worry no more because you have landed the best advice. 

It's true that honour is a command from God. But any honour that dishonours God is unbiblical.

Is my Pastor the best advisor?

The role of one's spiritual guide no doubt cannot be overlooked. At the same time, when advised always confirm with God's word. A preacher once advised someone to honour a senior colleague with what the colleague likes most which is alcoholic drink - this is completely outside of God's word - its not biblical.

Beloved, in every situation or steps don't ever fail to consult the word of God irrespective of who your adviser may be.

The advise of our friends, mentors, teachers, pastors, leaders, prophets etc is no substitute for God's direction. A vivid example is found in I chro 13:1-10 king David consulted with all his officers but forgot to consult God's word, it resulted to dire consequences.

Forms of Advisers 

Some people consult a medium for guidance. Whereas, some christians aren't aware that it is sinful to consult people who practice spiritism, star gazers, palm readers etc to find out about the future, but God's word is against these practices.

What is The Solution?

Strict obedience to God's word is better than sacrifice or whatever else we can offer. What amount of money, substance or resources will you offer nor sacrifice to God when you have not first offered yourself as a sacrifice unto Him.

In conclusion, our zeal and enthusiasm for God must be guided by His word.

PRAYER: 

Say this simple prayer wholeheartedly. Lord, may you be central in every decision l take and in all l do! Amen.🙏

How To Be Resilience and Overcome Life's Challenges

Life is full of challenges no doubt! Would you like to know how to overcome the troubles of this life and stay resilient? If yes, read the story of Amina and find out how she overcame the troubles and battles of this life and still remain resolute.

As I sit in the dimly lit room of our small apartment, surrounded by the faint hum of electronic devices, I can't help but feel burdened by my circumstances. At 25, I should be chasing my dreams with unwavering determination, but instead, I find myself struggling to make ends meet, tethered to a cycle of freelance gigs that barely pay the bills. And then there's my mother, my rock,  whose health is slowly fading, requiring more care and attention with each passing day.

In the midst of this turmoil, the continuous draw of electricity from the chargers left plugged in serves as a haunting reminder of my own negligence. It's a small detail in the grand scheme of things, but it symbolizes the carelessness that has permeated my life—a life where every ounce of energy feels drained, both literally and metaphorically.

But just when I feel like I'm drowning in despair, fate intervenes in the form of an unexpected encounter. While wandering the streets with my camera in hand, I stumble upon a crowd gathered around a renowned artist, mesmerized by the vibrant strokes of his paintbrush. 

Drawn in by the energy of the moment, I find myself captivated by his passion, his drive, his unwavering belief in the power of art to transcend adversity.

In that moment, something inside me shifts—a spark of inspiration ignites, flickering to life against the backdrop of my own darkness. 

I realize that I've been allowing myself to be defined by my struggles, to be consumed by the weight of my own limitations. But no more. With newfound determination coursing through my veins, I vow to take control of my own narrative, to harness the power of my passion and creativity to carve out a brighter future for myself and my mother.

And so, with each unplugged charger, each captured moment behind the lens, I reclaim a piece of myself—a piece that refuses to be invisible, undervalued, or defeated. For I am Amina, aspiring photographer, caregiver, and now, architect of my own destiny.

Our Journey Is Short

*I've read this severally since morning. It's so true and beautifully written so l've decided to share...* A woman climbed up the bus and sat down beside a man, hitting him with her numerous bags. When the man remained silent, the woman asked him why he did not complain when she hit him with her bags ? The man replied with a Smile: "There is no need to be upset about something so insignificant, as our journey together is so short, because I'm getting off at the next stop " This answer disturbed the woman so much , she asked the man to excuse her and thought the words needs to be written in gold Each of us must understand that our time in this world is so short, that darkening it with useless arguments, jealousy, not forgiving others, discontentment and bad attitudes are a ridiculous waste of time and energy. Did someone break your heart? Stay calm. The trip is too short 💛 Did someone betray you, intimidate, cheat or humiliate you?

Balak Must Fail

Numbers 22 : 22-31 tells us about a battle the Lord used His angel to fight for the children of Israel without their knowing. From the very moment the angel of the Lord appeared on the scene, the evil and wicked plans of Balak to use Balaam against the children of Israel was totally disorganized and frustrated. Balak of our time is; 👉 That envious household enemy, 👉 That envious evil friend around us at school, at our office, where we live etc that detests us and our progress. As such, is doing evil things to pull us down at all cost. But in this coming year..., the warring angels of God's presence shall take over our battles and strike them down one after the other. The Balak that vowed to obstruct, steal and destroy our life's goals and destiny shall be frustrated and terminated in Jesus powerful name🙏 (amen) That we are serving God faithfully does not immune us against the troubles of life. On that note, Beloved, it is not strange to face attack of the enemies. Especially in our post-modern society where it is not uncommon to hear people mock God, make derogatory comments about the bible, ridicule christianity, taunt and persecute us because we are christians. When confronted with such situation(s), be not dismay, frightened, intimidated or ashamed for our times are not in the hand of our enemies and they cannot harm us without God's permission. We should also not be hasty to conclude that God has cut us off when it appears He is not responding to our prayers. On our part, we need to recommit ourselves to Him in total obedience, replace our wrong with right and our humanistic pride with humility. Experientially and from the practical advice of the psalmist for all believers, love the Lord, be strong and take heart (Psalm 31:15-24) - There is no greater counsel than this in times of distress. Rather than give up or despair, look back to your previous experiences of God's deliverance. Also look forward to when you will overcome the present situation too. Be rest assured, no man can determine your fate. The Lord will vindicate you soon. In view of this knowledge, do this 👇 Action: Begin to acknowledge the greatness and the goodness of God on those who fear and trust in Him(Psalm 31:19). Secondly, prayerfully call for angelic assistance to war in your favour this coming year 2023 PRAYER POINTS ✔️ Lord God of mercy, have mercy on me again in Jesus name. ✔️ Ye angels of God's presence, fight Balak and stop him from attacking my open doors this time around in Jesus name. ✔️ Ye angels of God's presence strengthen me against every Balak this coming year in Jesus name. ✔️ O Lord, let your angels arise, persecute and destroy every household Balak(enemy) that is saying no to Your Yes in my life this coming year ✔️ Ye angels that excel in strength, strike down every envious Balak (enemy) standing on my way of lifting in Jesus name ✔️ Ye angels of God's presence, l command you to pave the way for my promotion this 2023 in Jesus name 🙏(amen)
