Are you doing it at His 'say-so'?

 Hi guys🙂

It's been a long time in here😊.

 I missed you guys🤗💗. Sorry for the unannounced little break.

Today, we will be talking about God's command(s) to His children. On many occasions, children of God do not wait for God's command or instruction before delving into a situation. Many times, we complain and grumble and doubt the love of God for us because we meet with defeat in an endeavor. But, have we ever paused to ask: is God asking me to start this or am I engaging in this on God's word? David asked God : should I go? This prayer point I am praying, am I led by God's Spirit to pray it or is it just out of my desire and ambitiousness? Is the decision I am about to take initiated by the Holy Spirit?

Know this beloved: God will not sustain what He did not initiate.

"Then the Lord said to me, 'you have made your way around this hill country long enough, now turn north. Give the people these orders: "You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid if you, but be very careful. Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own." Deuteronomy 2:2-5 (NIV)

The children of Israel were commanded by God in not to provoke the descendants of Esau ( who live in Seir) to war because He will not give them their ( people of Seir's) land.

It is dangerous to fight a battle that God is not involved in. Imagine how disastrous it will be had it been they ignored the command of God!

Ok, let's use this example: a christian sister is asking the Lord that a particular brother should propose to her, not because she heard a word from God regarding the situation, but because the prayer was born out of ambition and her desire at that particular time. Such christian sister would not get an answer in line with her desire. Why? Her portion is settled with God, it was not necessary to try to take the portion of another.

"The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance." Psalms 16:6 (NIV)

Beloved, get a word from God regarding any situation or decision. Always remember that God cannot be unfaithful to Himself. But pause to ask yourself: what is God's word to me regarding this situation?

Meet you again in the next post. Remember to share and drop your comments. Adios amigos🙋

Much love 💖 from Abba's heart,

Lotus 🌷.

What's your choice?.......

Hey lovely people. How has the week been?  We are going to have a picnic today. So get your cutleries ready and be ready to feast. Bon appetit🙂 "When the Woman saw that the tree looked like good eating and realized what she would get out of it- she'd know everything!-she took and ate the fruit and then gave some to her husband and he ate." Gen 3:6 MSG Everyday, either consciously or in subconsciousness, we make choices. You are reading this post because it's your choice. Yesterday morning, I decided to wear a white T-shirt and a knitted skirt with a pair of gold sandals. I kept my Afro hair down in loose twists and applied some lipstick on my lips; ready for the day. I made the choice of how to dress. Same goes for today; I'll have to make the choice of what to wear, what to eat and where I'd like to go. Atimes, we make choices after some deliberations, other times, they are made spontaneously. Either way, we still end up making one choice or the other. God h...

Strength is for service, not status

 Happy new month amigos 🙋 It's time to eat again 🥣🍰🥪🍝🥘🍲🥗🍨🍎🍉😋 I was going through the Scriptures today and I found this: "Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status. Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, " How can I help?" Romans 15:1-2 (MSG) The sentence that struck me is this: Strength is for service, not status. I have realized that we are in the time where everyone wants to get some form of power or the other. We all want to become leaders in different parastertars of life. One of the allegories of strength is power.  But have we ever taken time to ponder on the question: am I ready to serve?  We attend impartation services expectant to receive strength in one dimension of God or the other, but are we willing to use that strength in service to men. We aspire to be...

EPISODE SEVEN: MY LOVING LOVER 💖✨

-
 Two days later, Uncle Sola arrived in Lagos, Nigeria. A lot of things were now different from how they were ten years ago when he left. It's quite sad that he was home in the midst of this condition. Had it been his brother was his hale and hearty self,  they would have toured the whole of Lagos together. But, there is still hope when there's life. He arrived in the hospital two minutes to 10am. He had been given the address and description of the hospital the previous day. He had a dislike for hospital environment since when he was a boy. He has the fear of injections and seeing nurses had always given him a scare; it still sometimes does. Only if the situation was not unavoidable does he find himself in the hospital.  He parked his car at the general car park for patients' relatives as indicated by a billboard. Adjacent to the place was a billboard indicating the space for members of staff of the hospital. The environment was serene with flowers neatly prunned and arra...
