I am not perfect either

Small changes that's all it takes, the battle is all about conquering the flesh and it's desires .Wisdom is in admitting that you are not perfect and never to blame anyone or the situation but to carry your own cross.

The day I died

My son I am no different from you , all the passions you now felt ,I once was yoked by them. It wasn't easy at all the struggle to be righteous by your own effort is a never ending journey and normally we falter in all our efforts.

What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ. Philippians3:8 NIV

Never let anxiety and self condemnation be your daily bread , our enemy is always on the rampage seeking the weak who are always reminded of their sins ,so they would feel useless and continue living in sin.

The more you live in sin the harder it is to live to your full potential.. but all hope is not lost there is is Jesus Christ who can give you a true and better identity.

It started by a puff of smoke and the next thing it was booze ... The happiness the earth offers is of no value the end is only death. Before I knew it I was changing girls like I would my underwear , committing adultery seemed fashionable but the more I moved from one girl to the next the more I got confused about relationships.. 

No woman would quench the thirst I had for fulfillment , I did not stop myself from experimenting ,but all women seemed the same .. then I wondered why did the Bible put value in marriage when all I felt was dissatisfaction in relationships.

I am no bad parent at all , me and your mother we just couldn't make it ,we were too young or to be blunt I was drowning in the world that I lost focus on the real essence of life .

I followed after worldly pleasures,  Ohhh yes I had to be very fashionable girls liked a man who dressed in a certain way .. it was really easy in our days .. dress a certain way ,drive a car and you can get any woman you want...Vanity of vanities it is.

The world had taken me on a journey of no return , the music I listened to encouraged me to act and think in a certain way... This is not new my son... What you are facing is not new at all .

But the Devil operates by stealing time from the children of God. Time wasted is never regained... the time I realised the folly of worldly pleasures I had lost you , and I had already passed my youth, with nothing to show ,only failed marriages , poverty and depression.I had by this time attempted suicide 3 times , I could tell my life was going nowhere.

I had tried every brand of alcohol I knew of to get rid of the emptiness inside of me , and yes I used drugs too... Talk of marijuana I became addicted to it too ...but all of these things are useless , just a weapon used by the devil to keep mankind in chains.

But I met Jesus Christ ,he changed my life.. My life changed after I was introduced to the Jesus Christ of the Bible.

My son obey the commandment of God and do not let anyone or anything derail you from serving him , he loves you the way you are. I am begging you today come and taste the love of God in Jesus Christ you will testify.

Have more time studying the word of God .. Your success is only assured in Jesus Christ.

Give your life to God 

The power is in you which was in Christ

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.   Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.   Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Luke 10:18‭-‬20 KJV

The Power  that was in Christ is working in you to tread on all the serpents and to put to null all the weapons of the enemy.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and worldly systems.

Engaging in prayer warfare is every Christian's duty ,you were given authority over Satan the day you got born again and were baptized by the Holy Spirit , exercising that power and authority is your call to make.

We are living in times whereby the christian community are so intimidated they can't exercise their power and authority the reasons being doctrine and false gospel on the rampage.

Jesus Christ washed us clean ,he became our holiness by his name we have victory.Did Jesus say only pastors would tread on serpents ?  No everyone born of Christ has that victory .

Pastors are there to guide us to Christ ,they are our shepherds but you and me we have a role to play in our prayer rooms, in our intercessory groups  it is our duty to carry the burden of the church in Prayer.

Do you love God ? Your life should glorify him .A prayerful attitude to life  should be the order of the day.In your church organisation there is something you can do to uplift the body of Christ.

To one he gives the gift of prophecy ,to another gift of tongues ,So many gifts waiting for us in the body of Christ.Do not be discouraged ,we can't afford to relax the battle line is drawn ,the harvest is ready but the labourers are few ...

Shalom.
