Modest apparel

 We live in a world where nakedness is count as true beauty. Women have been deceived to think that they are only beautiful if they reveal their shape, their nakedness 💃🏽

But I'm here to tell you friend that true beauty is not found in nakedness, true beauty is found in modesty, loveliness of character. Matter of fact the more naked a woman walk around, the more worthless she probably feels inside 😔

A woman of character, a woman who truly value herself will not seek to show the world her nakedness but will seek to honor God by being modest in dress and will keep her nakedness for her husband only 😊.  For she knows that her body is the temple of the Holy Spirit 

God has called all holy women to modesty. Modesty doesn't mean you dont look beautiful but that you keep your body covered, your shape hidden from prying eyes. So ladies  seek to honor the Lord by being modest in dress and God will bless you because to be modest in this world takes courage 💪🏾 

1 Timothy 2:9

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

Keep your garment

 We are living in the last days and God is making final preparation to prepare His people to stand in these last days, to prepare His people to receive the latter rain of the Holy Spirit and as a result the Lord is shaking out many false converts.

The Lord is shaking out many false converts in order to purify His church and make way for the millions who will soon flock to the church as a result of the loud cry of the third angel's message. Watch your garment 👔 of righteousness less you too be shaking out .

A false convert is someone who attends religious services, even love religious services and participate in them but refuses to allow the Lord to purify their hearts ❤, he/she clings to some idol, refuse to sacrifice it on the altar and soon some difficulty comes and sweep them away into darkness.

Many are being swept away into darkness because they are disappointed in the church 💒, some are disappointed in the way other church members treat them, some feel betrayed by other members and they leave the church and go into outer darkness ⛼. 

Friends, we are living in the time of the shaking, when everything that can be shaken will be shaken. This is not the time to forsake the Lord for whatever reason you may have. This is the time to bring whatever issue you may have to the Lord so that you may be healed and restore. Do not allow anything to shake you out.

Judas because of his love of money 💵 was shaken out of the church before the crucifixion, matter of fact his love of money led him to play the part of the traitor, he betrayed Christ. And so it is whatever, whoever you love more than Christ will cause you to be shaken out and be a traitor to Christ. 

So the message today is hold fast to Christ, hold fast to your garment, keep your garment of righteousness less you be shaken out with the unbelievers, the traitors, the wicked into the outer darkness. 

Our prayers Lord shake out sins from my life and keep me in 🙏🏾

Revelation 16:15

Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame

The need for community 👥

 The Christian life is not easy. It is a battle and a March. And in every battle we need others to help us along. An army is not made up of one man 💂🏽‍♂️, an army is a community of people, who are together, fighting for a common goal.

You need a community. The idea of going it alone is not Christian, God made us social creatures. The Lord said " it is not good that man should be alone ", this does not simply refers to marriage but to life. We were designed for relationships, for community. The Christian life is about relationships, community 

It was when Eve was alone that the Devil 🐍 was able to tempt her and overcome her and so it is when Christian isolate themselves from community that the Devil is able to tempt them and destroy their faith. Show me a Christian who isolate him or herself and  you will see  someone who will soon apostasize

Community keeps us accountable, community strengthen us, community encourages us, community teaches us how to have relationships with others, community remove selfishness from us because we have to deal with people who are different, who see things differently from us. Those who reject community are easy prey for the Devil 😈

Friends, as we are living in these last days, many will become apostate, will abandon the assembly of the brethren and be easy picking for the Devil. But as for you, pray God for a godly community. Wherever you go, seek to develop spiritual communities, link up with people, do Bible study together, engage in activities together and you will grow spiritually. 

Dont fight against the Devil alone,  God wants us to fight together, to strengthen one another in the battle against sin. Jesus say abide in Him, He is the vine and we are the branches, all who are Christ's disciples will be part of a community, but all who reject godly community will find themselves withering slowly away from Christ and fellow believers 

So friends, pray for a godly  community, make friends with other Christians, have Bible study with other Christians, have weekly fellowship with them,share the struggles of the week with them and you will find yourself encouraged, strengthen in your walk with Christ. Do not forsake the assembly of the brethren, build communities.

He who finds a wife 👰🏽, finds a good thing

 This is an adulterous and sinful generation, the land is permeated by a spirit of harlotry, finding a wife, a good wife in this generation is like finding the mythical creature, big foot 👣. It is a miracle of God to find a good wife these days 👰🏽

Finding a good wife who loves the Lord. A wife who loves the Lord can be trusted, you know she won't cheat on you. A wife who loves her husband, a wife tho having flaws, recognize and pray about them is like precious ruby ♦️, a diamond hidden deep in the mountains.

To find a wife, a good wife 👰🏽 in this generation of unfaithfulness, selfishness is a miracle of the Lord. To keep such a wife is an even greater miracle of the Lord. I thank God for such a wife, for only by His grace and love could I have found such a beautiful wife.

But friend before you pray God for a good wife 👰🏽, ask the Lord to make you a man after His own heart, a man who loves the Lord so that you will not be unfaithful to your wife or mistreat her and bring misery to her life. Ask God to make you a loving and lovable husband 

A good wife 👰🏽, who can find her? For she is more precious than ruby ♦️. Thank God for a good wife 👰🏽, and friends if you have a good wife, give glory to God, for only Him could have provided you with such a blessing 🙏🏾

Proverbs 18:22

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

The power of tyranny ✊🏾: Social breakdown

 Recently I read this powerful article titled," the spirit of despotism: understanding the tyrant within. The article spoke about the nature of tyranny, how it comes about and how it maintains control over the masses. I want to focus on of the key ways the tyrant maintains control over the masses ⛓.

"The illusion of solidarity: another important tool used by despots to maintain power is that of isolation. The very idea of totalitarianism implies the breaking down of lateral relationships between individuals- the original sense of community- in favor of strong ties to the state. This dissolution of the ties between people creates helplessness, dependency, and loneliness. Despots well understand the psychological vulnerability of humans, knowing that people are more easily manipulated when they feel isolated and powerless ".

" Lacking other people to exchange opinions with and who can act as  reference points, isolated individuals gradually lose their common sense and their ability to think independently. Regressing to a state of passivity, they become increasingly helpless. And in that state, they become more open to a leader apparently endowed with omnipotent qualities, qualities promoted and continually reinforced by the state propaganda 📺 department. " 

This is currently happening on a massive scale in our society. People are being isolated and they don't understand what's happening,  the social fabric are being destroyed in order to make it easier to control the masses .

Family structures are being broken apart. Divorces 💔 are rampant in the land, single parenting households are becoming the norm. People's relationships are being more and more superficial and as a result loniless is increasing, then people start to look to the government as the only Savior that can rescue them from their  state of discontent and frustration, this then create the way for the totalitarian state to rise up.  The destruction of the social fabric is a key tool of a despot, of the totalitarian state. But I'm not here to talk about the state, I'm here today to talk about the greatest tyrant of all, Satan the Devil 👿

Satan is the greatest tyrant and he is the master in destroying social fabrics. He did that in heaven by speaking falsehoods about God,  He caused 1/3 of the Angels to lose trust in God, became isolated from God and rebelled against Him resulting in them being cast out from heaven. Satan came with the same tactics on the earth, He approached Eve 🐍 at the tree 🌳 when she was physically isolated from her husband. Satan believes in the power of isolation, it is his mean of controlling us, for once you are isolated from God, from others, you are easy picking for the enemy. Wild animals 🦁 usually target isolated animals 🐏, Satan as a roaring lion does the same .

So how does Satan isolate us 🤔? He does so through inciting us to sin. Sin brings separation. It first brings separation from God and then from each other. Sin makes it difficult for us to trust God or other people, as a result we become lonely,  depressed and isolated, then in that state of isolation it becomes easier for the Devil through His propaganda machines of lies 📺, the media, false teachings etc.. to manipulate you further and causes you to distance yourself further from God, which deepens your isolation and make it easier for Him to control you and lead you captive at his will.

Friends, do not allow the Devil 👿, sin or society to isolate you from the Lord Jesus, the only source of strength 💪🏾. No matter what you have done, seek the Lord Jesus, draw closer to Him in prayer and He will draw closer to you. God made us social creatures, while it is ok to isolate oneself for a short period of time for prayer etc..prolong isolation is detrimental to our wellbeing and make us easy picking for Satan and His Angels.  This is why the Bible team us not to abandon the assembly of the brethren, for by being together, we strengthen one another, iron sharpens iron, we give each other courage to keep going on the upward March to the heavenly Canaan.

And I think it could be one of the reason during the covid 19 pandemic churches were closed while liquor stores were open 🤦🏾‍♂️. Satan is deliberately targeting our social fabrics to make us weaker for His control. Let us the resist the tyranny of Satan, let us first unite firmly with Jesus, let us hide ourselves in His love, then let us not forsake the assembly of our brethren, of like minded believers and finally let us flee from all sins in our lives, sin that bring separation from God and put us under the control of Satan the despot. 

Submit yourselves therefore unto God, resist the Devil and He will flee from you 🙏🏾

Hebrew 10:25

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Relationships ❤

 Relationships 😍 ! All of life is about relationships. We have relationships with things, with people, you can't do anything in life that is not a relationship.

In order to have a strong relationship with something or someone we need to put in time, good amount of time, quality time. Relationships cannot be rushed or speed up. Time has to be put in and the more time that is put in, the stronger the bond. True, loving relationships requires patience. These days  many seek to rush through things, trying to rush relationships but disaster has been the result. 

Now there are two things we all have a relationship with in this world 🌏, God and sin. We all have a relationship with God, we either love Him or hate Him, either abiding in His love or running away from Him. Either His friend or His enemy 😔

We all have a relationship with sin. We either love our sins or hate them, want to get victory over them or want to stay married to them 👰🏽. We are either feeding our sins through what we watch, listen to and do or we are starving them to death by fleeing from them .

Now, it took time for you and your sins to develop a strong, almost unbreakable bond ⛓, so separation from your sin is going to be a painful and heartbreaking thing 💔 and it will take time. It will also take time to build a relationship with God 

Relationship with God cannot be rushed, time must be put in, quality time. Time in the morning, time throughout the day and time in the evening. As you spend time with God, in His Word, you will develop an unbreakable union with Him. Life is all about relationships and we spend quality time with what we value most .

If you want to have a strong relationship with God,  you must put Him time. Send Him mental text messages throughout the day 📲, like Lord I love you, I want to be faithful to you always, keep me from sinning against you, keep me pure, keep me faithful, keep me in your love🙏🏾❤

John 15:9

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
