You are ABBA’s Princess . Look arts you, all Queeny and Princessy! 😍❤️

Today I want us to talk about pressing the restart button. It’s one button the devil does not want us to press. We press it by choosing salvation. We press it when we repent. We press it when we accept/step into the new. We also press it when we decide to try again. To forgive. To stop condemning ourselves. To go back to the process no matter what it takes. I want us to press that button today. RESTART.

I used to have a Huawei phone that would sometimes glitch or freeze on me. At first I’d be confused as to what to do but as it continued, I found a way to get it to function properly again. It was to reboot it. By the time it restarted, the freezing and all the problems disappear. A phone that wasn’t allowing me to even type a proper message suddenly typed paragraphs and not only that; it started functioning as if there was never a problem. Are you that phone? Freezing and glitching? Not knowing how to keep typing or calling? How’s about you reboot?

Sometimes the freezing was caused by too many apps open. Too many photos. Too many videos – not enough space. Sometimes it was because it overcharged and over heated – or maybe the memory card had a virus. Could that be you? Overworked and tired? Overheating with emotions? Or a virus has come in and it’s corrupting the system? Could you be that beautiful phone that anyone would admire and want to buy but when they check the battery life, they tell the vendor no! Give me another one. When a buyer comes and holds it, he says but it’s overheating, I don’t think I can buy it.

Are you the phone that doesn’t glitch or freeze but the screen is cracked because you were careless or too trusting and people left scratches on you , now people just assume you are no good? Nobody wants to try changing the screen, they all look away because the “phone” looks damaged? When it’s really not? I did not throw my phone away , I needed it, it had my cherished photos, messages, memories, I only had to reboot it. Will you give up on you and all the treasures hidden in you? Press the button.

I am pressing that button today. Out with the old, in with the new. I am gonna breathe and stop holding back my emotions from God. I will approach the throne of grace with boldness and say , “Revive me again Lord!” I will go to My Father and say “Lord, reboot me again!” This is what the Bible says about how to press restart; there’s two ways.

1. Repent
2. BE in His presence

“And now you must repent and turn back to God so that your sins will be removed, and so that times of refreshing will stream from the Lord’s presence.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬ ‭TPT‬‬

It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve pressed the button; go back to seeking for refreshing times. Pause for a moment. You’ve been overheating. So pause. Say this , “Revive me again Lord!” Shut down every other emotion and focus on Him just like the phone doesn’t even care if Instagram is on or you’re on a call, once you press the button, it’s main focus is to get the system running again. Your focus today is to refresh. Drink water. Get yourself nice food. Spend time with God. Say kind words to yourself. Put some comedy and laugh. Call a friend. Stop running a marathon with no one to pass the stick to, stop on the tracks. Maybe you don’t have to run. Maybe you’re the phone that doesn’t have to be sold, just fixed.

Hey, don’t give up. Press the button! If all cracked phones should be thrown away, how many would we buy In a year ? Somethings just require you to stop and go to Abba. He knows how to get you up and functioning properly again. He is waiting with a big hug, go on. Go to Him.

I love you 🩷🌸
