Daugther, do not sell your destiny!

' As I was making my niece eat, the devil wishepered to my ears' look, this is a delicous chocolate croissant will you not have a bite of it. Cut your fast and taste this croissant. You will not postpone your blessings for this.'

This was me one day. I was fasting during this period because I really needed to be restored and strengthened by the Lord. I wanted to know where I was in my walk with Christ. Trust me fasting is one of the best way to maintain your connection with God and be restored.

Yes, when you pray, serve the Lord in your local church you are connected to God. But when you fast, you become more sensitive to the voice of God. Why?Because your flesh is submitted to the Lord and your spirit communes daily with your Master.

When you practice this spiritual exercise often, it becomes easy for you to not accomplish the desires of the flesh to do the will of your Heavenly Fasther.


The devil knows that when we fast, blessings will follow us according to the purpose of the fast. As always, he wants to steal those blessings to make our fast vain. But glory be to God for we are not ignoant of his methods.

As I stared at this croissant, the Holy Spirit reminded me of a sermon I listened to the day before about the blessings that follow fasting. The man of God, Prophet Sosthene Mabouadi said something that blessed me so much. He said never sell your destiny.

Do you remember of Esau who sold his birthright for a meal. He was so starved that he despised the privilege he had to be the firstborn of his family.

Ignorance can lead you to despise the blessings of God over your life.You may not have it all but you have already something. The Word tells us that before Esau's name was Obed. His name was changed to Esau. Our names are very important to God. A destiny can be attached to a name, this is why we need to know the meaning of our names and surnames especially for those who come from Africa.

Sometimes someone gives to you a name because for her that person was kind to her but she overlooked the fact that the name means witch. We really need to pray God to reveal the thing that are still hidden in our lives.

This chocolate croissant could postpone my blessings. It could steal my blessings but I thank the Holy Spirit who warned me. The devil is a liar!!!


Do not trade your blessings of the Lord for the pleasures of this earth. Do not trade it for a sexual pleasure. Do not trade it for the love of money. Do not trade it for anything.

We need to be determined and to cling onto Him. Those earthly things shall pass away but His Word shall not pass away.

I do not know what you are going through, but be encouraged to follow Him and to renounce to every thing that can turn the heart of God against you.

As you do so, I see God restoring you and blessing you beyond your imagination in Jesus Name.

Amen

Ladies, do not compromise

Hello, LWM! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I did by the Grace of God. Today, I would like to encourage us to stay firm in our faith. I had a chat with a friend of mine over the weekend and we were discussing about who we must marry. It was going nowhere because the person believed that she could still date an unbeliever and still be in the Will of God. I did give her the scriptures which clearly showed that God would not allow such a relationship but it was a waste of time. I am believing God that He will convince her to accept this truth. Ladies, I would like to encourage us to stay firm and not compromise our faith in Christ. We cannot play with our life this way. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, so we better be careful when it comes to choose our partner for life. I was saying to the person that I understood her view but I did not support it. I understood the fact that she said " what if I fell in love with an unbeliever?, Am I sinning?". I have been there. I ...

My test of Relationship

Have you found yourself once in a situation whereby you had to stay home by force? Have you found yourself in a situation whereby you could not go to church anymore? Have you found yourself in a situation where you had to pray and have your church service at home? This has been my case for about one full week. My country was going under some political tensions and because of that no one dared go out. In fact, the ones who attempted to do that were killed and hurt, so it was wise for the population to stay home. It was a scary moment but in this period, God tested my relationship with Him. I can describe myself as a regular church member. I am always at church services, during conferences and so on. I can never missed out a service. If I am not around, it means something happened and I could not come. I recalled of a leader who said during a service' there will be a time where we would not be able to come to church so we have to mature as Christian and learn to pray on our o...

Ladies, are you really ready for marriage? Preaching video

Hello, wonderful ladies in Christ! I would like to share with you a video by Lady Reverend Adelaide Heward- Mills. In this preaching, she talks about marriage. As ladies, we naturally think about marriage but as Christian women we should be aware of what we need to make our future marriage to work. I love saying that many of us only think of the wedding, the actual day where we will be sharing your vows but we do not think of the life after the wedding, and I know many young ladies that got married, were happy and now are struggling in their marriages because they did not prepare themselves. I thank the Lord that there is such a message available. I am not married for now but I know now that I need to prepare myself fully before I get married. I will advise you to do the same and remember God should be the foundation of your future marriage and your relationship if you have a beloved( a person you are dating and are going to marry soon).    Much love   Lala. ...
