Hey guys! Its a beautiful night to write blogs.
So! I’ve been away for a while and i thought i was suffering from writer’s block but ey! who am i deceiving? Writing isn’t my profession, this is a platform to share my daily experiences as a growing youthful Christian and honestly a lot as been going on with me in this aspect and i thought i’d share my journey in the past month with you guys,P.S it’s quite personal so if u like ofofo read on 😉 if u don’t….still read 🙂 thanks.
So the beginning of my journey to being different started out beautiful, I started this blog because I had so many things to share and i was inspired..I was talking to my friends about Christ and I saw the seeds germinate., my prayer life and bible study and meditation was on fleek, I had endless testimonies, I was dreaming dreams lol i spoke the tongues of Angels…then not suddenly but slowly that fire in me started to burn out..Now the thing is I always knew that it is when an individual decides to let go of the world that the world gets more enticing and the person starts facing major difficult situations that require a compromise either for God or the world(Devil), this is my story so I will not sugarcoat anything please try to not get angry.
I knew the daily requirements for Christian growth like we all do, but i just started slacking…my 30mins-an hour session with God because measly 1min prayers before I sleep and some seconds when I wake, I try to write something and I was getting knocked down by my own flesh, You see the greatest battle we fight is the battle within ourselves. I took a 24-hour fast, and I went off the grid and it seemed like everything was back to normal lol like God was just waiting for me(which He always is by the way), there were some days I felt like my prayers were not even going past the ceiling and I would feel down and ask God what’s wrong..I would hear nothing, I started feeling frustrated, feeling like He didn’t just want to talk to me, feeling shut out, I used to wake up with songs on my lips but now I was waking up sad, my loneliness started creeping back in, something I felt I had dealt with and then it got to a point where I just gave up and said ‘eh, I pray when I pray, I have been struggling and God isn’t helping’..I went on this way then my birthday came and went and that day i had an awakening but I felt it die right after lol…my roommate tried to talk my out of my wallowing, praying with me but you see till you are ready to make a move nothing anyone will say will move you. Then came Benny Hinn in Abuja..I just had to go! and OH MY! Was it beautiful! A friend of mine that I had been praying for had an encounter with God and when she called me I was ecstatic! God heard my prayers even if it wasn’t for me and the answer was in real time! A friend got healed of a knee injury! Oh how i felt! I worshipped him for the longest time ever, I had a vivid dream lol I was floating…then that voice came again and I heard ‘U go back to Jos, this all fades away’…I knew it was the devil and I laughed him off and i went back to Jos…. Lo and behold lol. It Happened. SPIRITUAL LETHARGY.
“I know your works, that you are neither hot nor cold. I could wish that you were hot or cold. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold. I will vomit you out of my mouth”- Revelation 3:15-16 (NKJV).
“….Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God”- John 4:4 (NKJV)
I should stop here tonight because this is a story I need to settle down to tell so we analyse the spiritual lethargy, how it crept in and took over my life,where I went wrong and how i’m trying to overcome it because I fell deep into it and hopefully through mine someone knows what to do before it gets to the point where it becomes really difficult. Stick with me and u’ll know what happened next lol…my life in parts. Please wherever you are reading this just say a word of prayer, sincerely ask God to awaken His fire within you because we need to choose a side and you don’t want to not be on God’s side. See you tomorrow.
God bless you and always dare to be different.
