Reflection Friday

Happy Fridaaaaay , how are you? How’s your heart? How do you feel? How’s your mind? Okay, racing, steady? Would you rate it 50% , 80? Or a little over 90? Let’s try regulating your emotions a bit ;

• Be conscious and in this moment right now . Say , “Help me Holy Spirit.”
• Now breathe in and hold it for 5 seconds and breathe out. Say , “Help me to trust You Lord.”
• Breathe in again and hold for 10 seconds then breathe out. Say ,”God is my ever present help in times of trouble.”
• Now drop your shoulders , unclench your jaws, hear yourself breathing then say , “Lord l know You are here with me. Hug me. I need it today.”
• Laugh in the spirit for a bit. You don’t need any joke. Just laugh.
  

Okay now let’s get into it! What a year it has been for us believers. The spiritual side of it was giving David and Goliath. Honestly I felt like my Goliath was two in one. Two Goliaths in one Goliath. The Giant of all Giants that have ever Gianted. The soldier in me ran out of bullets. The David in me had a squint 😣😬 so the stones hit elsewhere BUT the giant. That’s how I know l made it thus far by grace. The spiritual attacks were on another level my dhiyerest. At some point I was slacking in my prayer life, literally falling asleep on duty. Imagine a watchman that’s sleepy. Yho x 789!

One area where I reaaaalllly grew is the area of fasting. This is the first year of my life where I was fasting and not cheating . I didn’t even want to. I have never been excited to fast tbh because I love food and I believe food and l have a good relationship. Yeah not like you and the young man. 😂 okay let me be serious. This year l intentionally wanted to, l did it and I’m so glad l allowed God to stretch me in that regard. So if you see me looking all skinny just praise the Lord and leave me alone. What about you? The fact that you just giggled 🤭 let’s try again next year shall we?

My Bible Peopleeeeee!!! Did we keep to the planned routines of bible study? Or were you on fire on Monday then Wednesday you read messages on WhatsApp but the Bible? Zero. So for me, I have a tendency of re reading some books before I read others. I could re read say maybe Corinthians and yet I still have Hebrews to read. It’s good for understanding but I do it from a bias point and ITS GOT TO CHANGEEEEEE! How’s your studies been? If you only relied on you version to send you one verse a day my dhiye we listen and we GEORGE! We must jodge!

Did you go to church at all in 2024? Or are you still part of the “God knows my heart , l worship from home,” team? You do know that there’s a verse that says to not forsake the gathering of believers right? That some have gotten into the habit of doing so. The same way people get into the habit of lying and stealing etcetera is the same way some have gotten into the habit of missing church and making excuses of God knows my heart. He does. Oh He surely does but He also knows His word. Do you? Many people who dodge church are actually dodging authority. They don’t want to be told what to do. They don’t want to submit anywhere. If you were hurt in the church, understand that carrying it all your life will never help you even if you they actually did it to you. I am sorry it happened to you. Very sorry. But darling, for how long will you use this weapon that has turned from pain to bitterness? God has an address and it’s not your house. Selah.

Reading Yielded Blogs! Yes l said it. You know sometimes people come to me for advice and I’m like ,”I literally just posted a blog that could help you with that.” People just don’t wanna read even if there was a salary for it. The keys to breakthrough are found in words. That’s why you go to school. That’s why it’s called THE WORD OF GOD. Words! If you hate reading you hate life. But also you don’t hate reading bc you read paragraphs from your boyfriend and girlfriend mos. Telling you many many things that won’t take you to heaven. Ai let me leave you.

Do you listen to sermons? Or it’s amapiano or nothing. Even your ears don’t understand anything else but the pians. 😂 Sermons have helped me. YouTube comes in handy.. Next week I will list my favourite preachers and sermons maybe they’ll also help you. I found that when I listen to sermons , by the time I want to start praying I’m already fired up. On days when I don’t, I’m even lazy to open my mouth. The word fuels us to pray. Anyhoo, I am just grateful that l started the year as a believer and I will finish it as one. I’m not counted among the lost and I’m so glad! Isn’t it great?! We had our share of persecution but we are still ABBA’s children. Here’s a verse before you say ehhh we read and we didn’t even see one verse

“My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬

We keep pushing. Until Christ is formed in us! You can listen to this song and meditate

BASED ON THE EVIDENCE

I enjoyed typing this by the way. I wish you a great weekend! I love you and yeah

Bye!❤️
