So I made a post yesterday about horror movies
And I think it was my mistake for not making the post more detailed
I highlighted an aspect of that genre which is “fear” and I saw a lot of reactions as most people picked apart the fear thing
Let’s leave that for a minute,
Here’s what made me very worried, Very very worried
I saw comments by fellow Christians saying
“Not everything is to be spiritualized”
“Sometimes a movie is just a movie”
“Not every thing you bring God inside”
“Horror movies is an art form and writers are just expressing themselves “
Ahhhhhhhhh
Dear child of God,
Do you really believe that there are vacuums in this life?
Are you not aware that the devil is the “prince of this world” and will use any and everything to try to derail you from the narrow way?
Everything is a tool
Music
Art
Fashion
Movies
Dance
Literature
The first temptation the devil brought to Jesus was for him to eat bread
Normal bread
Food oooooo
But the devils agenda was not the food
It took Jesus’s discernment to see that this was not just food but a temptation to get him to start taking orders from the devil
I think that we underestimate the devil and his bag of tricks
If there is anything the devil has mastered it is “going undercover”
Hiding in plain sight
He can even transform and look like an Angel of light
This is exactly what He told eve, it’s just a fruit
How bad can it be???
So He will hide the poison inside the “Apple”
I used to read Romance novels
I loved literature, I love the art of beautiful story telling and I would tell myself that it was ok
All I was interested in was the art of writing
But trust them to always sneak up those scenes on you
Those steamy pages particularly tailored to fan the flames of lust and sensuality in your heart
And it would drain me and drain me of any virtue I tried to gather
I had to decide
What’s more important? My soul or this??
We are slowly being indoctrinated by the worlds systems and we don’t know it
They tell you there’s a good witch and a bad witch
They cast spells and conjure darkness
We sit and smile and drink everything
People expose sensitive parts of the body
We say it’s fashion and it’s self expression
They sing about drunkenness, project women as sex objects and promote lewdness
We say it’s rhythm and vibes and we clap for how talented musicians are
Where do we draw the line?
When do we see the “ world” for what it is?
The aim is to make us adjust, to become comfortable with sin and corruption
We now mix light and darkness and it’s become a weak shade of grey
No longer potent in transforming lives
And so like Samson we can lie on Delilah’s lap and say “I’ll just stand up and shake myself”
Because we are very strong
We are enlightened, after all we are in the jet age of knowledge
I don’t know about you
I’ll rather er on the side of caution
I’ll rather do too much “spiricoco” than allow myself a cheap target
Me I’m not like you
I’m not too strong
I want to go to heaven
I want to See Jesus
I don’t know everything, everyday He teaches me more and more
But my heart is open to learn and to let go of whatever will not edify my spirit
I’ll leave it here🙏
I sincerely pray that God will Open the eyes of our understanding.

Remember all things work all together for good....Rom8:28
So don't rush....
When God says "wait", he's preparing something great.
#HopeAgain#Godstiming is not our timing.
Some days ago I opened my freezer
I needed some scotch bonnet pepper to make stew
Immediately I touched the pepper I knew something was wrong
The pepper in my freezer would always be ice frozen
Like it would be as hard as rock
But this time around, it wasn’t
I just shouted “babe, something is wrong with the freezer o”
Babe came and as he touched it too, he knew
He looked round the kitchen
Other lights were working
Microwave was working
The light inside the feeezer was actually on
But we knew, it’s been months since we have been using that freezer and we both knew that something was seriously wrong
It was not cooling like before
————————————————————————
The Holyspirit thought me something so powerful
🤍Notice how I knew immediately that something was off? Even though the light was on, even though the pepper was still super cold, but over time because I had been using this freezer I knew this freezer was not working based on its full capacity
Dear child of God, have you noticed that even though it seems like you still go to church, yes we know the light of God in you is not totally off yet, you’re not “working” in full capacity?
You don’t pray like you used to
Every one still sees you in church
But in your heart, you know you’re bored
You know the work of God no
Longer interests you
You know!
🤍See as babe went to check other gadgets and those ones were working?
So we knew it was the freezers problem
It wasn’t light connection
Dear child of God, God is still using people
Others are still burning
It’s not a God problem
The Holyspirit is not less effective now
It’s not because the internet is too full of “bad bad” things
There are still soooo many people living in this world like you too and burning for God like never before
Check your connections
Check your wiring system
The headquarters is still functioning
Maybe your receiver is bad
🤍See how I had to raise an alarm as soon as I noticed?
I did not just shrug it off and say but the light is still on
The pepper is still very cold so let’s just manage
I knew i had meat in the freezer that would go bad
So I had to raise an alarm
Dear child of God, once you notice that you’re going down
Don’t wait till everything spoils
Don’t manage your christian life
Don’t wait till the light goes off
As soon as you notice you’re out of alignment,
Raise an alarm
Call people
Join a prayer group
Let somebody join you and check what’s wrong

A man once asked God why he was taking him through troubled waters and God answered, saying "it's because his enemies cannot swim"...(Ish 43:2).
Remember you more than a conqueror, he'll help you through.

If you get angry easily and struggle to forgive people but you sincerely wish to stop getting angry and forgive people easily then I encourage you to fast as often as you can.
Fasting suppresses ungodly expressions.
Anger and unforgiveness are ungodly expressions.
The more you fast the more you put to death ungodly expressions.
Join us at @SaltSquare tomorrow by 9am to worship God and grow in the knowledge of His truth.
Blessings!
It’s funny how people refuse to believe that there are Christians that are truly staying celibate and away from hard substances.
Because you also go to church but do those things doesn’t mean everyone is doing it.
Back in the days when I lived a reckless social & sexual immoral lifestyle I believed that everyone was like me. You couldn't tell me then that other people were living a life void of sexual immorality. I would not believe you.
Somehow, God shipped me to Lagos where I squatted with someone who practiced chastity before my eyes. He dated a lady who is now his wife for a few years and in those years he never had sex with her.
Many of his friends scorned him and thought he was being foolish ( I thought the same too at the time).
We were also aware of other ladies who liked him and greenlighted him in different ways but he never took advantage of their vulnerability to him.
We thought something was wrong with him. Well, nothing was or is wrong with him because he is happily married with children today. He was living the way he did because he said he wanted to keep himself for his wife.
This guy never spoke nor preached to me to change my lifestyle he simply lived his life for me to watch. He was & is indeed a salt of the earth to me.
I repented from my immoral lifestyle and promised myself to never "touch" any lady again except the woman I am married to and God helped me to achieve it.
Through him I learnt that some messages are not preached with words but with lifestyle.
Today, when people say to me that everyone is doing whatever it is they are doing, my first unspoken response is " I was like you too."
Then I will go on to counsel them and explain to them that "you see life and everyone with the lenses with which you yourself." A liar and thief knows he is a liar and a thief and he sees everyone as a life and a thief too.
No! Not everyone is doing what you are doing. Some people are still Chaste. Humble. Righteous. Content. Good. Faithful. Loving & Truthful.
May God help you to overcome every weakness, struggle and immoral lifestyle that you have generalised in Jesus name.
God loves you.
Blessings!
Start fresh today! Let go of yesterday's baggage & trust God's new mercies. "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice & be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24 #HopeAgain#Faith#NewBeginnings
