This money, we go get am.
This fame, we go get am.
We will so command influence & affluence. We are not in a hurry. The most important thing is that we are in line with God's purpose & plan for our life.
God wants you to go to church, and so do we. If you are in Christ, He calls you to be a part of His Church. You may be a new believer, or you may not have read Scripture on this subject yet. But if you are a believer in Jesus, you will believe in the importance of His church.
Repentance is not a transaction.
It is not payment.
It is not performance.
It is the return of the heart to the arms it was made for.
It is grieving what you’ve become and leaving it behind.
You grieve. Because you see what your sin cost.
Not just you.
Him.
You leave.
Not because you're strong.
But because you've been found.
The shepherd doesn’t wait for the sheep to crawl back. He carries it.
You don’t return to God on your own strength.
You collapse into His.
What makes hell unbearable isn’t the flames.
It’s the recollection of an open door that you didn’t walk through.
The lamp you didn’t fill.
The warnings you waved away.
The sermons you critiqued instead of obeyed.
Regret is the fire.
Everytime you sleep with your girlfriend, you are not showing her love or affection.
You are defiling her
You are dishonoring her
You are abusing her
You are violating her
You're leading her astray
You're leading her to sin
You're dishonoring God
And it's unfair
REPENT!
Your words have the power to build up your spouse or to tear them down ... to bring out the best in them or the worst in them. Choose to be their biggest encourager not their critic. Choose to be their biggest fan and speak words that build up, not tear down.
There was this brother that wanted to marry me
He told me his intentions
Such a good man
Soooooooo nice. And this was not him pretending
This was actually a genuinely good man
He said all the right things. Really lovely child of God
Here’s where the problem was. I did not like him back.
I don’t know why. I really wanted to. Because honestly this is the kind of man that you know would just make your life happy.
I wanted to settle down. But I could not like him as a husband.
I tried really hard. I even prayed to God to fill my heart with love for him. Sometimes I would look at his pictures again and again. Just so that maybe something can spring up in my heart
I knew that if I married this man, it would be out of pity. It would not be because i really cared about him like that and felt blessed by God
I would just do it as a favour
And so I had to turn him down. I didn’t feel any leading from God whatsoever.
And that’s when the Holyspirit rebuked me.
That man was too precious a child of God for me to marry out of pity.
He was too special for me to feel like I was helping him
I’m sharing this story because someone sent me a message
“Sister Debbie, there’s this brother that wants to marry me. I don’t like him like that. Infact if I’m being honest, thinking about him as a husband is irritating. But he’s a good person. Maybe I should just pity him and marry him”
No man deserves to be married just because you pity him
Same goes for a woman
Everybody is precious. There’s someone out there who would feel tremendously blessed to have that person
You think you’re doing the person a favour but if they could see your heart, it would hurt them even more to see that you are even irritated by them.
The rejection may hurt them in the moment, but they will be fine
🤍Some men would start spending money on a woman immediately they make their intentions known. So that they can use gifts and stuff to make her feel indebted. That’s very wrong
🤍Some women will be collecting gifts, allowing someone sponsor you in school and all when you know he’s waiting for you to finish so he can marry you. But you know deep down, you don’t care about this person. That’s wickedness.
Forever is too long to be with someone who doesn’t value you.
To be with someone who doesn’t look to heaven and say “thank you Lord for my spouse”
This brother in my story is happily married now. I’m sure his wife feels like she married the best man in the world
I’m also with my husband. I thank God everyday I didn’t marry anybody else
God will settle his children one after the other
Before you say yes to someone, please be sure it’s for the right reasons
Remember, God sees our heart.
I hope this helps someone.
