After more than a week in Heaven
I returned to Lagos on Sunday
Whether or not I am ready to share my Heavenly experience……. I do not know
Although I’m really trying to see how I can encapsulate all my sojourns of the last week
After all, we ought not to code the Heavenly
And by this time next year, I’d be an Overcomer
If you don’t gerrit, hang on to the end of the mail🙃 nothing for you…. Hehehe🌚
This year, one of the top issues I’ve had with God is trusting Him with something and taking it back a few moments after literally.
I will tell Him that I trust Him not to mismanage my life and I hand every detail to Him but somewhere in my heart, my flesh still wars against my declaration
Sounds familiar?🙃🙂
Come come
Shift your chair closer, we need to confess to each other so we can help ourselves as siblings in Christ
I've been through seasons when my heart would not stop palpitating about things I perfectly have no control over. And these palpitations consume…. They steal from me the joy and peace Jesus has promised me.
I convinced myself that I was free from every form of anxiety some weeks ago, whenever I was about to sip back into worry, I would declare out loud “Fiyin, you are free!”.
Don't take it back from the Lord
You've surrendered it to Him
Don't take it back
Don't!
See, It's not as if I am willingly taking it back….. No! It is my flesh that is warring with my spirit.
My spirit declares that I am free
So does my utterance
But my flesh doesn't want to die
You get what I'm saying! Don't you?
Somebody just shouted yesssssss!!!!
Ahhh, we are so many on this table
The Lord is good ooo😂😂
I watched the latest episode of a series that I follow on YouTube not too long ago “Abbatoir”, and I heard these words again, this time, it was even re-echoed like it needed to sink deep, in my heart, I could tell that it was also a message and reminder for me
Fiyinfoluwa (Insert your name), stop taking this matter back from God
Let Him take care of it
Allow Him to be Father
Let Him handle it
You by your natural man are faint and weak
You draw strength from Him
For there is strength in surrender
Just like me, many of us have hung on to the very things we promised to take our eyes off and roll over to Jesus. We have reclaimed the burden back a long time ago and still go to Him with the same request that He lessens our burdens
Somewhere in our hearts of hearts, we know the truth we shy away from and choose to deceive ourselves with a momentary illusion that we have truly handed over all to Jesus
For us
Jesus is only SAVIOUR
And not yet LORD
I don't know how we got here
But I know there is a way of escape
And that way of escape is intimacy with Jesus
Chronic intimacy if you let me add
Intense hunger
Pangs for Jesus
You already have an invite to His banquet with your name on it written in a fine, perfectly curated style and pattern, a customized relationship just for you.
There is strength in surrender dear sibling
I know it is easier said than done. I know
But! It is certainly not impossible
I love you dearly
I apologize for the tweak in the time frame of my mail, by God’s grace, I would not default again.
”Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”“
Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV
Till Sunday again
