❗️An urgent Word from the Lord ❗️

It’s great that you’ve taken time out of your day to read this very important word from the Lord. As said in the previous post, this post should be centred on Worship. However, the Lord has told me to inform you of something else that is needed for this particular season. This is genuinely the Lord speaking; He revealed His thoughts to me and His sad response.

The Lord is sad or , better put, disappointed or heart broken. As Christmas approaches, a lot of activities are being organised- most of which are not centred around the Lord. Being a culprit myself in previous seasons, we tend to find ourselves desiring to satisfy the desires of our flesh so badly especially in the approaching season of “enjoyment”. We allow our flesh to dictate our every step and eventually fall prey to the devil’s deceptive ways.

Now, in a year like 2020, where we have seen the faithfulness of the Lord like never before, where we have seen the favour and provision of the Lord like never before, we cannot end it by falling back into the pit our flesh once led us into. God has been so good to us that it would be so unfair if we were to neglect His goodness throughout the year and worship the enemy. God has been so faithful to us that if we are to forget His awesome nature, it goes to show how wicked the human race is. Because after all the Lord has done for us this year, it makes absolute sense if we crown the year by giving Him the highest praise and not the enemy.

If you still don’t get the point, here it is:

God has been so GREAT to us in this year of 2020 (from a pandemic, to job losses, to brutality , to racial injustice and many more), yet we still want to satisfy the cravings of our flesh but, please, we need to say no. The flesh isn’t want preserved my life, the flesh didn’t give me my peace of mind when the whole world was in shambles, the flesh didn’t provide supernaturally when pockets where empty, the flesh didn’t heal miraculously when doctors had no solution. No, the flesh didn’t do me any good, all it did was transfer me from one bondage to the other ( even when the transfer market was closed😪). But GOD DELIVERED ME FROM IT ALL. He did all the awesome and amazing things for me and I know He did it for you too.

This is why He is getting sad because He is seeing His beloved children who claimed they returned to Him slip back into the very bondages He delivered them from.

In this season, God wants you to choose Him. It doesn’t matter what friend Pineapple or Banana says. You know what the Lord has done for you this year, don’t let the devil make you blind. Choose the Lord, choose the Spirit and kill the flesh.

*Blind*

The devil has managed to make us blind ( 2 Corinthians 4:4) to the love God has for us. Some of us are completely oblivious to the love God has for us and others claim they know but they really don’t.

I know God loves us because there’s no shadow He won’t light up coming after us, lost sheep. I know He loves us because He sent Jesus to suffer for us and ,ultimately, save us! I know He loves us because He goes above and beyond to get our attention.

If you truly love God, if you sincerely love God, you’ll honour Him with everything ( 1 Corinthians 6:20) . We love Him because He first loved us ( 1 John 4:19) and when His love becomes your very reality, a flame will be set within your soul to do everything for His glory.

The saddest thing to happen to someone is if they don’t realise God’s love for them. When you know that the Lord loves and madly adores you, you’ll automatically try your HARDEST to reciprocate such love because as humans all we ever desire is love and acceptance.

The questions today are

1.Do u think God loves you?

2.Do you love God?

Despite this, some may still ask “ If God loves me, why is a, b, c or d happening to me?”

But please, remember that when Jesus isn’t the Lord of our lives, the devil is and once he’s the lord of our lives he can also influence situations ( John 10:10). God isn’t going to forcefully protect you because He’s a gentleman, He’s not going to force His supremacy and Lordship on anyone ( Joshua 24:15, Mark 8:34). Rather He desires that we commune with Him and ask for such divine protection and deliverance ( Matthew 7:7-8).

Plus, God never promised a rosy life ( John 16:33)

Hopefully at this point, by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit has started convicting you and you’re wondering “ How do I show God I love Him?”.

:through your worship, not necessarily singing songs that exalt His holy name but doing something deeper than that.

Check out next week’s post for a further elaboration of the above answer xx

God bless you!

-N-A-K-E-D-

Looking at the home page, one of the images displays a naked woman. Now, one may wonder “ WhY DoeS A Christ-CeNTereD WeBSite HAVe thiS?”

Truth be told, as Christians, we ought to strip ourselves of all the amenities we allow to define us and give us a sense of pride, purpose and place.

What I mean by this is, most of the time we allow our social status or money or academic standing or job to define us and dictate every action we take. We desire to look a certain way so we put on all sorts of facades and wear all sorts of masks to be accepted and loved.

But the truth is, that’s not our duty as Christians. As Christians, we must strip ourselves of all these titles and realise and understand and drill into our brains that OUR IDENTITY IS ONLY FOUND IN JESUS CHRIST, SON OF THE LIVING GOD ( lol sorry for shouting but we just fail to get it)

We need to be naked before the Lord and allow Him to clothe us ( if He wants to). We need to be bare before our King, enabling Him to see both our strengths and weaknesses, allowing Him to examine our wounds and scars.

But most importantly, we need to be naked because it’s a form of denying self. When we are naked, we say no to the things we wear, all the facades , all the masks, WE STRIP EVERYTHING OFF. And we tell Jesus “ Dress me how you want to”. And I feel like this is a hard prayer because we all wanna look successful, smart, stable, in the public eye, but the question is “ who does the Lord want me to be?” “ what image must I bear?”

The answer is.....

JESUS ( check these out * 2 Corinthians 3:18 *Romans 8:29 )
