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 

If it doesn't help you grow ,let it go

That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:20‭-‬24 NIV

Growth is essential to every living being ,daily you need to grow .With each morning whatever challenges you face you have to be victorious. Each and every thing we face in this life is meant to make us grow ,if you do not adapt to changing situations you go extinct. Everyday is a struggle ,a battle you have to win or else you get left behind.

The Bible is a not a book written to entertain or a history book it is a practical book for everyday situations.By putting the principles written in the Bible success is imminent. Everyday we see ourselves feeling inadequate like Moses when he was instructed to face Pharaoh ,we ask the same questions he asked ,how am I going to convey this message I don't have the right words to use ,sounds familiar.

Habits are formed and you can change your habits by being reborn to a new identity .By acknowledging that you are no longer who you were before ,you no longer do the things you used to do ,you no longer befriend a certain type of people changes start happening in your life.I have noticed the effect of changing the literature I used to read to grasp my new identity it works.Changed my role models and channels I used to watch on TV eventually my taste of music changed and my language changed certain words I used in my everyday communication changed drastically.

These were the days when my prayer life had deteriorated , was overwhelmed by my problems I began to worship my problems instead of worshipping God but that changed the moment I changed what I was exposing myself to. Instead of wallowing in self pity I started worshipping Jehovah Jireh the God who fights my battles everything changed ,I started seeing opportunities in everything he changed my mindset.

What are you focusing on ? Is what you are focusing on creating fear in you or faith ? Who do you listen to frequently ?After spending years listening to them do you believe you achieve greater things? In our former lives we worshipped idols ,mainly ideas and images created by human beings to control and manipulate us into buying their products ,or for us to serve them for life .We worshipped worldly fashions and possessions ,your image in the society was determined on how much you knew or possessed certain objects but surprisingly enough many who lost these possessions committed suicide ,they died terrible deaths due to their attachments to these things.Then we realised there is more to life than these idols , there was more to life than what these gods were offering .

Jesus Christ enlightened us to a new world altogether .We gained the whole world in him ,we discovered that true wealth is better than what the riches these gods promised.These gods were promoting selfishness , adultery ,homosexuality , fornication and divorce whenever you had  what they referred to irreconcilable differences but most people who followed these gods lost their riches in the process sadly something was not right with these gods most of our friends lost their lives to gain the world satan promised.

Jesus Christ taught us to marry for life ,since we are his brides for life then we became co heirs in the kingdom of God a new world was revealed to us . Dead situations were brought back to life ,dead marriages were revitalised ,and those who worshipped demons by engaging in dirty sexual activities were freed from the demon gods of sodomy and witchcraft. Surely there is power to restore life in Jesus Christ.

The worldy standards did not work for us ,so we chose a higher standard. Priests of the demon  of sodomy were encouraging same sex marriages woman to woman and man to man but they (priests) were married with kids ,so whoever bought their idea was to violate the principles of marriage to have children in their marriage absurdity it was , having a marriage contract yet permitted to be adulterous .Is the world coming to an end ?Their greediness for power pushed them to control childbirth  by promoting homosexuality thereby destroying marriages for normal couples . To avoid the same people from coming back to Christ they started introducing the same acts of sexual impurity in the church of God and also started satan churches all over so the poor souls accepting the name of gays would find comfort ,atheism and all funny names were introduced.

“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:17‭-‬20 NKJV

Christ chose us for this age , to liberate the lost souls who are trapped by this demon spirit they are in pain mostly they are resorting to drugs to escape reality . What kind of life is that ,they can't face themselves without drugs WE NEED TO PRAY so they will return to the living God.Jesus Christ died for us whilst we were yet in sin to set us free , when he resurrected he conquered the sin in our lives and brought us back to life.

Growth can only be found in Jesus Christ you are not defined with what you eat or clothes you wear but by living the word of God in you.Man shall not live by bread alone but by the word of God.We are to study the word of God to know the wiles of the devil so as to resist him from taking over our families. He came to fulfil the law in us.

You possess within you the ability to change anything you feel is enslaving you.You have the ability inside of you to leave the land of Egypt to go and displace Canaanites from their land .You possess inside of you the ability to defeat Goliath . Surely you have the ability to set the captive free the Kingdom of God is inside of you.You possess the ability to create anything . You possess in your mouth the ability to speak things into existence , with your mouth you have the ability to give life and to chase the demons out of your territory.

You possess unimaginable power inside of you ,power  to tear down the devil's territory the walls of Jericho will tremble when you sound the trumpet.You possess an army of Angels around you only waiting for an order from you. You are a co heir in the kingdom of God ,satan and his demons don't have any authority over your life. Anything giving Satan and his demons legal rights over your territory was removed on Calvary ,he was rendered powerless ,death was conquered too so your dreams have to be fulfilled .

God honours a marriage covenant so your marriage is being revitalised .You are a new creation ,you have a new identity none of the worldly way of life has a meaning in your life.Today you are crossing the red sea to your victory and all the enemies who were persuing you will be swallowed by the red sea.Jehovah has done it again I am delivered from all iniquity ,our sins were forgiven and I am starting over today on a new path.

Those who knew you before will be amazed by your transformation they will ask what happened and you shall say I met Jesus Christ of Nazareth who was crucified on Calvary only to rise on the third day ,he revealed himself to me ,he is alive  ohh yes he touched me and I was made whole again. After years of bleeding non stop from the woes of this world after I touched his garment the blood stopped AMEN I am a new creation now.

Glory be to God of Abraham who honours his covenant throughout all generations he has enlarged my territory ,my finances were restored .My name was changed from poverty to abundance .Christ now lives inside of me. Hallelujah

God bless you

Shalom.

You were born great

But somewhere along the line you stopped believing that you were destined for greatness because you couldn't look past yourself, your own environment and circumstances . You started worshipping your conditions , they manifested and became bigger than you.

It's easy to start believing that you're not going to ever be great or be able to do what you love or make an impact...I get that. Our minds magnifies what we worship ,the worshipped object becomes a limiting factor in all your endeavours ,no wonder God warned Israelites not to worship any other gods ,graven images or any ideology .He wanted us free from mental slavery , and earthly standards for success.We are to break forth and set new standards ,the crooked path must be made straight.

I know it's easy to turn the TV on and see people who don't look like you, who don't have your problems or don't come from your background(environment )who seem to be successful and seem to have it so much easier than you. The TV on its own can make you feel smaller than you really are , be careful what you feed your mind on!!Most worldly marketed ideas of success are at par with the abundance and wealthy God promised us.

It's easy to just doubt yourself and to constantly find ways of putting yourself down and reminding yourself that you haven't got what it takes and that you don't have the money, time, education and resources that other people have .Maybe you have accepted the belief that you are not talented enough ,Moses felt the same.

But the truth is greatness exists within each and every one of us but you're too busy looking at what you aren't that you completely overlook all that you can be. You are letting your past to determine your future ,your present does not determine your future either you possess inside of you the transforming power of Jesus Christ these dry bones will live .You possess the resurrection power inside you , use it.

I'm asking you to stop comparing yourself to everyone else you see on TV, magazines and on social media and start looking at yourself as someone who has something unique and beautiful to share with the world. Start measuring your life with a different lanyard ,which is God's promises. Do you remember what was the difference between Caleb and the spies Moses send to Jericho.

Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.There we saw the giants ( the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
Numbers 13:31-33 NKJV

You were born to be great but that doesn't mean you're going to be a singer, actor, celebrity, doctor, lawyer,Soccer player or world famous. A new path is being created for you ,which only you can manage better .We are to profit from folly and not be partakers of folly .God is changing your destiny right this moment. You are not designed to be a cry baby but to be a conqueror , and a problem solver. Whether you are going to be a Caleb or the other spies in your story totally depends on you.

Greatness comes in so many different ways we are living in an era where there are so many opportunities but many are blinded by the dead gods they bow down to. Worship a dead god ,or earthly idols you are bound to be ruined. Be ye separate create own path and claim your Canaan.Israelites were given Canaan not because there were righteous or worth it they were given Canaan because of the iniquities of Canaanites and surrounding tribes.

“Do not say in your heart when the Lord your God has driven them away from you, ‘Because of my righteousness the Lord has brought me in to take possession of this land.’ Rather, it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is dispossessing them before you. It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to take possession of their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and in order to confirm the oath which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Deuteronomy 9:4‭-‬5 NASB2020

Canaan had been promised to Abraham already ,they were staying in the land so that means Israelites were going to take over a land which has been cleared .You will overtake all the giants in your life it's in you you were promised to be the head and not the tail get ready to overthrow Canaanites.

You have to be great at what you were born to do and that might not make you famous or financially wealthy but it still makes you great because you did something very few people ever get the change to do.....fulfil their life purpose and reach their potential.

Greatness lives within you! Within you is power immeasurable just tap into that power .You are a success and you have all the resources necessary to take over Canaan, Jehovah Jireh has already given Canaan to rise up take charge and conquer (destroy any limitations set for you and take over).

Now the only question is:
What were you born to do?, and Are you living your life following the path God chose for you or are you blindly worshipping idols?

Be who you are meant to be and your potential will start to unfold right in front of your own eyes!

I believe in you.
Now it's time for you to believe in YOU!

Shalom
