We are wrestling...

Bonjour!

Welcome to Day 7 of Operation PUSH. We underline today's prayer from Ephesians 6:12.

We have been warned before long that we are actually in a war. Our Lord God and master Jesus knows we are in a war and warns us to Watch and Pray.

The word says for we wrestle not against flesh, but against principalities. Hm! Now let us note that principalities come in so many forms: physical and spiritual.

In the next seven days, we are Praising God, in Faith and waging war against principalities. In fact we are winning the battle over principalities.
Let us begin with the principality called, "HURT AND BETRAYAL".

Many of us Christians feel being taken for granted because we "must forgive ". Some people we loved really hurt us so bad it has had a toll on our faith in God and even our ability to trust fellow humans. Carrying this baggage of unforgiveness is not healthy for our relationship with God. The devil feeds on every little chance he has to destroy us. The word says, he comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Hurts, betrayal, unforgiveness are but a few ways he uses to push his agenda against us.

In our marriages or relationships especially, hurts and betrayal leave deep scares that may never heal except God intervenes. Some people also carry past baggages from betrayal into new relationships which also end up in failure. Let us deal with this principality the devil is using as a tool to steal joy from people. And to make people bitter and emotionally unstable. 

You can simply use these prayer points as a guide :

A) Confess to God that you repent of trying to handle things that God told you to release to Him. Confess again of not paying attention to the warning signs He showed you but you ignored. 

B) Thank God for His redemption and always holding you up.

C) Thank God for purifying your mind, body, and spirit to do what He would have you do and for removing people from your life before, and even after, they betrayed you.

D) Thank God for giving you peace about broken relationships. Thank God for giving you joy in sorrow. Thank God for protecting you. Thank God for salvation and for discipline.

E) Ask God to help you to forgive those who betrayed you. Bind, rebuke, and destroy every curse and problem that keeps you from loving people in the way of God's Word.

F) Ask God to teach you to be selfless and how to walk in discernment and to exercise it with wisdom. Ask the Lord to help you not to stay in relationships that are not going to benefit you.

G) Thank God for all these things.
It is so by faith, and by faith so it is. Amen.

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers,  Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important.  Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages.  Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

THE NAKED MARRIAGE

Welcome dear Readers, You must be thinking that I want to talk about sex today. But hey, we will be talking about that plus a lot more. True intimacy requires what happens in the bedroom plus a lot more. In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve, the first couple. They lived in an ideal world; no debt, no no crazy in laws, no baggage, no stress, no fighting and and also, NO CLOTHING! (Gen 2:25) When God reveals unto us a naked marriage, He is revealing to us something more than just walking around the house with no clothes on or just sex. He is revealing the importance of TRANSPARENCY, VULNERABILITY,ACCEPTANCE and INTIMACY at every level of the relationship. I am suggesting we become more intentional about working on our relationships this way. Love is honest. Love is trust. You open yourself to temptations when you decide not to live in a naked marriage. These temptations have led many down the path of doom. My husband used to believe trust in a marriage is a sacrifice. T...

''Give me a man, with whom I will serve You...'' A legendary love story

Bonjour,  I am tearing up listening to Mama Gloria Bamiloye saying something about her husband, Evangelist Mike Bamiloye. They inspired me to write this. Most of my posts so far has been on praying about your marriage and making God the centre of it.  To the singles out there, have you ever thought of communicating with God about your future partner?  Do you have expectations(specs) of whom you would like to share the rest of your life with?  Go to God in prayer and ask Him to give you what you want. The best part of God anwering your prayer is Him giving you what is actually Best for you. He knows what you need but He needs you to ask for it.  Now to today's topic; Marriage can actually take you to hell; either here on earth or after you are dead! That is why I have my slogan of, ''it is not here that matters, but in the end, before my creator" . This phrase (title for today), from Mama Gloria, shook me. It made me think back to what I had prayed ...
