When the Word was abstract to me
And that the Lord we worshipped was a partial God
Choosing only those he wanted
To be anointed
Doing exploits
Ministering to the saints
I felt so discouraged that I didn't even want to give it a try
Like light travels in the straight line
I was out of focus yet I was in my comfort zone
It takes grace and humility to come back on track..
yet those two words were out of my dictionary
Listening to the Word was like speaking Greek ;should I say more of Latin
it was as if I had told the Holy spirit to be behind me whilst I lead
Can you imagine, a blind man leading someone with sharper vision who could see past,present and future
It was always more of me and less or should I say none of Him
My phone was my goddess
I worshipped her first thing in the morning
And last in the evening
Forgetting the creator who gave me life
I was cut off from the source of my life Like a baby whose umblical cord has been cut from the mother before its time was due
I thought I could do it all by myself
Wasn't life all about the number of likes on instagram,Facebook, not to talk of Whatsapp and Twitter
Slaying every social media
When I was busily enjoying the luxury of life
I didn't know that my spirit was dancing its way with an umbrella in the rain towards the gates of hell
No wonder Rick Royner says in the first chapter of his book titled The Final Quest
"The Hordes of Hell are marching"
Why the umbrella,many of you would ask
The umbrella is the salvation of God
I was born again...you think I was a devil like that...
Na...I was born again but not born again
Though with the salvation I claimed I had..I was dancing gracefully all the way to hell
Like the Trinity
I had my own trinity
Movies my father
Social media my Jesus and
Tracks my Holy Spirit
Like an electromagnet ..
I attracted all types of metals
Both the shiny and the rusty
Because the glory of God was not in my picture
There wasn't room for ultrafiltration of the good from the bad
I was insensitive to the Lord
Not because I have become too sensitive that I have developed tolerance Like my Pharmacology could tell me
But because there was alot of chuff deposited in my spirit and my mind
Like a guy in love with a lady trying hard to get her attention but she is focused elsewhere
The guys can relate how painful and unpleasant the experience is.
If we humans can feel this
How much more our Lord Jesus
Who even came down from His glory in Heaven to earth to come and taste life's most difficult experiences
Name it
He faced brokenness, homelessness, betrayal just to mention a few
See, the Lord is raising up an army
The army that would go down on their knees and fight all their battles in prayers
The Ezekiels who would minister to dry bones and command them back to life. .I don't know if you understand the anatomy of the human..
It even amazes anatomists how the human body has been structured and functions
How even every cell,tissue, organ and organ system has been closely and carefully knitted perfectly
for time would not permit me to enlighten you how the tendon, ligament and cartilage are beautifully connected to the bone .
Who would hold the skies with their words
Where are the Daniels of our generation
Who would shut the mouths of lions
Where are those who Through faith would conquer kingdoms , administer justice, receive promises, put out raging fires, escape death by the sword, find strength in weakness, become powerful in battle, and route foreign armies of the enemies.
