BUY GOOD NEWS, SELL IT NOT!

Heinsight Counsellor

pexels-erik-mclean-4062467.jpg

Ever wondered why anxiety, mental stress, blood pressure, restlessness in both the young and old, rich and poor in the society are on the rise daily?

Do you know these problems have ties to what these individuals hear and see regularly. These problems often ‘feed’ on information these victims consumed daily as news.

Now, have you ever wondered why the media houses love to be the first to broadcast breaking news. And have you considered why heart-wrecking sad news are all over our media screens as news flash.

But you won’t hear or see good news such as ‘a new addition to a family’ published on any Media screen free of charge.

Meanwhile, you will see gory news such as ‘an entire family wiped out in a single day’ published/broadcasted free of charge on media screens.

[Let’s be reminded, Media Houses are set up to make profit — just like every business enterprise — and they have discovered from time immemorial that bad news sell rapidly.

Please note: Media Houses are more concern about their business profit, than the mental health of their audience. Even though we won’t expect them to, since we can’t ask them to close down business — just as we can’t tell a Coffin-maker to stop making coffin]

Therefore the onus lies with every individual to check what news he or she buys or feeds on, in order to salvage his or her mental health from the cheaply propagated ‘news-cancer’.

Remember the scripture says in Proverbs 17:22 KJV: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones”.

Proverbs 25:25 KJV:
“As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country”.

Please check the news you feed your soul with; this will either build your faith or feed your fear.

Beloved the truth is, the world has no good news to offer you, just as you can’t give what you don’t have.

Good news is in no other than Jesus Christ. His news are good if you will hearken. His reward is peace and good cheer if you will abide in Him. [John 16:35]

MAKE THIS YOUR PRAYER:
‘LORD please Sanctify me through Thy truth, Thy Word is truth…keep me away from the evil news propagated by day and from evil reports that kill the faith of men…’

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: A PRE-REQUISITE FOR POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSION (Part 2)

matthew

self-develp.jpeg

AVENUES FOR SELF DEVELOPMENT
1. GOD DISCOVERY: The train of personal development runs in the track of God discovery; it is in discovering God that our true self becomes unveiled. All the patriarchs in the scripture and those with lasting success in our world are God-pursuers.

2. PURPOSE DISCOVERY AND TENACITY: This is the next step in the journey to personal development; purpose discovery is the product of God discovery. Destiny is beautified when purpose is unveiled. You have to be in your assignment to develop yourself in that field in other to possess your possession. Many Christians are wrongly located, cultivating another man’s farmland and expecting to emerge in their promise-land. Abraham and Isaac were victims of wrong placement; they never possessed their promised inheritance until they discovered where they should be. Right location is an ultimate requirement for conquest.
Moreso, the principle of tenacity, called ‘stick-to-itiveness’ needs to be adopted. This means staying in your purpose where other fields become unattractive. You can only emerge in your Canaan-land by remaining where you’re sent, you end up a charade going where you’re not sent. Everyone going in one direction does not qualify for overboard success. There is a special place for you, a specific problem you’re designed to solve and a unique task that can get you to your dream-world. We take up responsibilities to become relevant.

3. WISDOM: Wisdom is an indispensable platform for victory in every human endeavour; it is the core demand of possession. Strength does not prevail in the warfare of contending for inheritances, it takes wisdom to emerge a success.
The book of Proverbs chapter 4 verse 7 had this to say about wisdom: “Wisdom is the Principal thing, therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding”. Many Christians possess great faith, and some are even prayer warriors without visible effect in achievements, all due to lack of Wisdom. We need not to forget that it takes wisdom to walk with the Author of all Wisdom.

To acquire this wisdom for self development towards possessing our inheritance, two major avenues are important:
– The Scripture: The instruction in the bible are the highest instructions in all human affairs (2 Tim 3:16-17). Friend, everything we ever need to walk into our promised inheritances is all wrapped up in between those two covers of the bible. The world bows down to those who bow their heads to unveil the boundless truth of the scripture. The word of God is above all!
– Relevant Skill and Information: Romans 12:1 charges us to get transformed through the renewal of our mind. The world of self development is at the mercy of current, relevant and updated information. God’s promise of a great destiny is not in isolation of self-equipping with relevant information in your field.
The current upsurge in the use of Information and Communication Technology, which ought to be an avenue for accessing relevant information and self development, has unfortunately become a trap to many youths, spending the best part of their time on irrelevant information. Thus, many lose focus and got their dreams thwarted. Friend, you need to make your difference entirely different to stand out.

CONCLUSION
Hit it hard and wish it well: In every great endeavour, a price must be paid. Personal development is the cost for walking triumphantly into our possession. We must lay it to heart that the promise land of our dream is always guided by giants, thus a contending is required if possession is desired. The Children of Israel had to fight towering giants to take possession of their God-ordained inheritances.
Friend, victory requires two essentials as seen in the experience of the Israelites – The work of God’s children and the Miracles of their God. The cities of Jordan would be conquered only when the soles of the feet of the people touched their territory. The walls of Jericho would only fall after God’s children marched. For every blessing and possessions, there was a price to be paid; and ours will not be an exemption. Give your best and expect the best.

Finally, I end with the all time effectual prayer of Apostle Paul to the Ephesians:
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritances in the saints – Eph. 1:18

THE LOVER AND HIS BELOVED

Heinsight Counsellor

pexels-matt-barnard-10636453.jpg

The night was cozy and cold. And I had just lain on my bed, ready to sleep, when I heard my Lover knocked on the door.

He called out to me to open unto him. My heart beats and raced faster than the rhythm of a talking drum.
‘My long awaited Lover is finally here’. I said to myself beaming with smiles.

I was filled with delight, knowing I will finally have my great Lover in my embrace, but tiredness and the comfort my bed offered, made me hesitant in opening my door to Him….

I knew He came from a far away country, and that He had brought with Him, His gifts and fragrance of love; but the enticement of sleep and tiredness, made me got up late.

By the time I unlatched my door, my Lover was gone. I perceived His sweet scent at the door [an evidence that he came by].

I took to the street that night to find my Lover and to plead for His forgiveness. He was nowhere to be found. Perhaps He has taken shelter for the night under another’s roof. No one I met could tell.

I became desperate. The sleep and tiredness that caused my delay had forsaken me at this time. I am now to blame for my delay.

I walked into the den of thieves unaware, and they took from me my purse of priced jewels.

I fell into the hands of abductors & molesters, and they stole my chastity — the last of what I held precious…

That night I learnt the hard way, never to delay a Lover’s call.
**********************************************

And this I tell you my friend:

Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart; delay not in opening your heart to Him. Remember He gave you the heart in the first place, and He is asking you to willfully open it to Him.

Seek the Lord early while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.

Hear what He said in Revelation 3:20 KJV :
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me”.

My friend, the pain and agony of missing the great Lover does not have a soothing balm, ask the foolish Virgin that missed their long awaited bridegroom [Matthew 25:1-13].

Beloved make today your day of salvation! Delay no further
[Read similar account of this in Songs of Solomon 5:1-7]

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: A PRE-REQUISITE FOR POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSION (Part 1)

matthew

improvement.jpeg

The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land – Deut. 2:31

Taking possession of God’s promises has been an aspect in the Christian faith that has suffered great abuse and gross misconception. We pray, fast and ‘exercise’ faith in other to possess our God given promise; yet, the promise-land remains unattainable.

God’s promises are always followed by opportunities to fulfil those promises; opportunities to enlarge our coast, to recover our lost possessions and above all, opportunities to be the best for God. However, when these opportunities come, they meet many Christians unprepared for it. God does the ‘delivering’, it’s your responsibilities to do the conquering and possessing.

GOD’S DEMAND: PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Personal development is the God’s required human aspect/role in the fulfilment of covenant of blessing. God is all powerful, almighty and all-sufficient, yet He can only faithfully play His own role while expecting you to do likewise.

Possession is not taken in idleness, it requires building the required capacity because content is a function of capacity. God’s way still remains the highway to life, He gives idea, you work it out; He gives the dream, you live the dream; He gives vision, you walk in it and above all, He delivers possession to your door-post, but you do the possessing. So you see, the deposit of Greatness has been made by God, only awaiting your discovery, capacity building and the eventual possession.

He has made everything beautiful in His time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end – Eccl. 3:11

The above scripture summarises the lot of many Christians, having all we need to emerge in our Canaan-land but never fathoming it.

Friend, it is when opportunities meet preparation that possession is birthed. The bane to our Christian superiority in today’s world is not the devil, it is ignorance deeply rooted in lack of self-development. We refuse to play our own role, only to hide under the guise of God’s faithfulness to his promises; No wonder God lament over his people saying “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hos. 4:6). Friend, any faith that makes God entirely responsible for all the events of your life is an irresponsible faith.

The story was once told of two farmers, both trusting and importuning God for rain on their farmland. One of them went ahead to cultivate his farm and continued to trust God for the rain; while the other did nothing, save praying and trusting. The faithful God did finally send the rain, and I trust you already know who got blessed. Friend, we need to go all out to get ready for the rain of opportunities, God will send it when it’s time.

The scripture is filled with pictures of individuals whom despite having God’s unfailing promises in their life, still had to go all out to work out the realization of the promises. The Israelites had the promise of the land flowing with milk and honey, God even sworn that He had delivered it into their hands, yet they had to build up capacity to fight in order to take possession. Jacob inherited a generational covenant of blessing, yet he had to work his hands into the blessing; David’s promise of kingship was not delivered to him until God sent him to the college of self development for kingship and warfare.

BIBLICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR KINGDOM STEWARDSHIP

ADEOLU TITUS

pexels-rodnae-productions-5875104_1644377944919.jpg

It doesn’t matter how high or low men tag any of the kingdom job, the standard of God remains thesame. Whether you are a Bishop, Pastor, teacher, choir, Usher, Deacon, Technical officer, traffic control officer… The biblical requirements for kingdom stewardship are thesame for all.

(1 Tim 3, Titus 1, and 1 Peter 5):
Sexually/maritally faithful
Good manager of household
Humble
Gentle
Sober
Peaceful
Financially responsible
Hospitable
Self-controlled
Upright in character
Committed to holiness
Able to teach
Spiritually mature (not a new convert)
Respectable (and respected by outsiders)
A good example to the flock

So, don’t confuse working for your church, your senior pastor, your personal gain with working for God. May you not hear on the last day ” depart from me ye workers of iniquity” in Jesus name.

EMPTINESS OF SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS

matthew

0D876FFA-8782-4BBE-93EC-68632C84FBDD.jpeg

So many times I have tried to please God with my life and plan. I make effort to remain holy, pure and perfect. I lay out rules of dos and don’ts of staying holy. My plans of self-discipline seem perfect, and I seem to please God with my ‘perfect’ holy life. I even perceive God atimes smiling and saying “This is my beloveth son in whom I’m well pleased”
Just when I had thought all was well and perfect, then the unexpected showed up….

“I just can’t believe it was me! How could I have done that….. how could I have been thinking about such immoral act; I can’t believe I just lied. That simply can’t have been the “holy me”
……. and the guilt of my failings enveloped me.

I felt so distant from God, I can’t approach him, and oh I perceived him raging with madness at me. I just knew He couldn’t forgive me because I was in my right senses when I was failing him, I wasn’t forced to lie. I wasn’t on gun-point when I took the decision to defile myself with sinful thoughts and actions. I did them all because it was pleasing to my flesh and my emotion is the driving master who will never say no or stop while enjoying the act.

Then, while in my self-defeat, out of nowhere comes a still voice saying “I am not mad at you, am only not pleased with what you’re doing with who you are”. Oh! That must be God!…..That statement came as a double edged sword in my spirit. First, of condemnation of not seeing my worth and value in God’s lenses to have settled for such act; and a second edge of hope that the righteous God is still interested in a “self-righteous sinful me”.

So now I know I’m not of value to God only when I abide by the 10 commandments, and even the 11th, or when I go down the stretch yielding to the dictates of my flesh. My value isn’t in my perfection or works of righteousness, but perfected in the Blood purchased Grace. The more I humble myself, drop my self-righteousness, then I can take up His Grace – a substitution of weakness for His strength. This is not strength to boast to sin saying “I can never fall to you”, but Grace to accept my inadequacies and receive His strength to stand when temptation shows forth (1Cor 10:13). That is true Maturity!

THE NEW WAY!

Heinsight Counsellor

pexels-thisisengineering-3861969.jpg

Have you also observed, or is it just me, that speed and momentum is now the order of the day in virtually every area of man’s life in this age and time

Think of this: In professional football, the team with better pace, momentum and tactical sharpness often wins the day.

In professional Table Tennis, the individual with fast-hand in addition to skillfulness often wins the trophy.

And in whatever sport you can think of, speed, pace and momentum gives any skillful athlete competitive edge over their equally skillful counterpart.

Also think of this: Among business analysts and recruiters of Multinational firms, a fast thinker and a quick solution-profferer is often preferred over the ‘slow and steady’ achievers.

And if you keep checking, you will realize we now live in a fast-lane society where we all want quick-fix to our problems. We want things done faster and quicker than our pace. [To highlight one of this: we all can’t tolerant slow Internet connection anymore — it is annoying I surmise]

‘What you have to do, do quick’ is often now the rhetoric I this age, especially when the matter favors the Orator.

My friend, whether we like it or not, this is now the new way to go if we want to stay relevant in this age and time.

THEREFORE, TO YOUR SKILLS, TALENTS, AND GOOD WORKS, PLEASE ADD SPEED AND MOMENTUM. TRAIN UP YOUR BRAIN FOR QUICK THINKING AND YOUR MUSCLES FOR SPEED.

Even the Bible has much things to say concerning making haste; however it does not favor it over patience in matters of choice and decision making. So don’t misused Scriptures!

The scripture counsels we make haste to do the good works, the Father’s will and the Father’s business. Hastiness outside any of these, is not scriptural injunctions [beware!].

In whatever assignment the Lord has commanded you, and in whatever capacity the Father has enabled you, add urgency to His instructions: the end is near!

Beloved, I therefore leave you with these injunctions from the Lord and I pray they minister to you with utmost urgency in Jesus name.

Proverbs 3:28 KJV:
Delay not the good you will do. Say not to thy brother to come tomorrow what is thy power to do today.

Proverbs 8:17 KJV:
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

1 Samuel 21:8 KJV: …. because the King’s business required haste.

A CASTAWAY

Deborah Olayiwola

real-castaway.jpg

I once attended a program and the prayer minister in charge raised a prayer point. She said we should pray that we should not be like signboards. I was almost laughing and I was like what kind of a prayer point is this. Going forward, what kept bothering my mind is the meaning of a signboard. Literally, we all are aware that a signboard is to make an awareness of a particular place, in the world we see signboards everywhere on the streets which are majorly pathfinders to people
of a particular place especially when the address is not clear enough.
Spiritually, I began to ponder what she could have meant by we not becoming signboards then I realized that truly signboards are like pathfinders to a place and it is very rare to see signboards in places that they describe to people, immediately my understanding opened to what she meant by we not becoming signboards spiritually.
Having given one’s life to Christ, authenticates one as a child of God and we automatically become a carrier of His grace, also a direction or a pathfinder for people to come to the El shaddai. I have seen instances that some say that people of the world no longer read the scriptures but read Christians attitude. Are we sure that our attitude would not make us a cast away in the kingdom of God? the little things we think it does not matter? . Imagine those we are struggling to pull to the kingdom of the Father gets to enter and we ourselves finds it hard to make it, God forbid!
In short, this piece is an awakening call to all children of God out there that we hold on to our position firmly and mind the way we behave even behind the scenes lest we become castaways. In the book of (1 cor. 9:27), brother Paul had it that ” But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection…” if we read through that verse we get a detailed understanding of his plight.
The conclusion of this whole matter is that we should subject our flesh always under the leading of the Holy spirit so we would not commit sins which will make us castaways or signboards to the kingdom of God as the Father expects us to all to be a partaker of His eternity. I pray the Lord grants us the grace not to become castaways. Amen

WEIGH THE MATTER: COUNT THE COST

Heinsight Counsellor

pexels-maksim-goncharenok-4412924.jpg

To a hungry man, there is this untamable urgency to eat the meal while it is still steaming in the pot. And to an angry soul, he sees good reason to mete out his wrath while it brews in his ‘pot’.

Hmmm…perhaps if any of these two tarries a little more to weigh the matter and count the cost, they will strive to hold back the fiery fire they’re about to ignite [directly or indirectly] on their ‘dry bush’:

Because to every action, there is a repercussion — this is what science calls reaction — and to every secret decision taken today, the consequence(s) of it will make it public tomorrow.

There is no secret thing that will not be revealed sooner or later: be it truth or lie, good or evil. So likewise is Sin.

My friend, don’t be deceive, Salvation does not always exempt you from the repercussion of your Sin. What your genuine Repentance and Salvation does for you, is to take away the chain of repercussion you may suffer from that misdeed, because Mercy has intervened.

Yes, going forward you are saved, but the scar of your sin remains on you to bear — once in a while you may feel the spasm.

There is always a wage(s) that comes with sin; this explains why ‘Saints’ still die in the flesh, because sin had set in motion God ordained repercussion for disobedience. [“For the wages of sin is death…” Roman 3:24].

Remember God is not a respected of person. ‘What is sauce for the Goose, is sauce for the Gander’.

Therefore my dear beloved, if before we take some actions we remember the scripture that says: “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished..” [Proverbs 11:21 KJV] perhaps we will probably weigh the matter, count the cost and make good decisions that will save us from the scars we may have to live with for the rest of our lives.

God’s reason for asking us not to sin, is not to make Him more godly; but it is to spare us from the consequence/repercussion He has established for every sin a man commits.

Now hear what this scripture says and judge for yourself the truth in it. Job 34:10-11KJV: Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. [11] For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

Henceforth my friend, please always weigh the matter and count the cost so you don’t face the wrath; flee every appearance of sin in the flesh, in thought and in action: because the wage(s) of sin is too dear to pay when compared to the weight of the matter.

NEITHER GREEKS NOR JEWS!

Heinsight Counsellor

pexels-fauxels-3184396.jpg

Dear Friend, geographical location does not determine your destiny; it does not determine your outcome in life, nor does it create your life achievement: just like being born into a Christian home does not give you automatic ticket to make Heaven.

That you are born in Africa does not relegate you to the bottom; it does not hinder your success story. The scripture says:

“For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him”. [Romans 10:12 KJV]

Because you are born black does not make you less privileged or at a disadvantage to them born white. We all have 24hrs in a day; so make the day count to your account.

God is not a racist. He does not segregate. There is no sentiment in His judgement. He does terrible things in righteousness. He is righteously rich unto all that call upon him out of a pure heart. So you determine what you get from Him

Don’t permit motivational jargons to stir up bias thought of God in you. Equal opportunity abound unto all that call unto Him.

Jesus told a parable in Luke 19:12-26, about a Noble man who gave a pound each to his ten servants. Two returned with profits, one returned back the same pound. No record was given of the remaining seven: perhaps they squandered the pound and eloped.
At the end of the day Jesus said in verse26:
“For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him”

Hence, what everyone does with the ‘pound’ given him or her is what determines his or her outcome and reward. Remember the profit of the earth is for ALL (not for the whites nor blacks, nor any particular race alone). Ecclesiastes 5:9(emphasis mine).

Acts 10:34-35 KJV
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: [35] But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him”.

Therefore, stop complaining of your location and your skin color, start making YOUR GIVEN TALENT & AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITY COUNT.

INTERVIEW WITH JESUS

matthew

EVER IMAGINE HAVING JESUS TAKING QUESTIONS FROM PEOPLE ON A TV OR RADIO STATION?

PRESENTER: Hey people! Guess who we have in the house with us? He is often called Emmanuel, Prince of Peace, Alpha and Omega, Jehovah Jireh, Agbanilagbatan, Owibeesebe, Igwe. You already know Him, Please help me welcome the Almighty God.

GOD: Thank you very much for the introduction. Infact Ori mi wu (I feel elated and honoured).

PRESENTER: There are so many questions we would like to ask you Sir, but because of time we would only take few calls. However, before calls begin to roll in, permit me to ask you this. Some people feel rejected and alone at times; what advice do you have for them?

GOD: I have told you that I will be with you everywhere you go. Even David said it. Check his song in Psalm 139:5,7, 9-10. When you pass through waters, I will be with you. When you cross rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through fire you will not be burned because I the Lord am your God; my presence is too strong for your feelings to comprehend, only your Spirit can sense me.

CALL 1: Chika (With sober voice) God, my past is haunting me, I’m afraid to come back to you. My sins are just too much and unforgiveable. I feel dirty and guilty to stand before you in prayer.

GOD: Uhm! Chika, I have been waiting for you all the years with open arms, you need to realize that I am not tied to your past. I seek daily relationship with you, that is why I promise that even if your sins are as red as scarlet, they can be as white as snow. Don’t forget, the blood of my son- Jesus, is ever potent to cleanse you of all your sins and restore you back to fellowship with me. I’ll be waiting for you.

CALL 2: DEACON OKE – From HolyGhost Consuming Church International: God, I don’t know if you will understand this? See, I love my wife….. but my marriage is not just working! It’s simply not what I had expected. I have tried all your laid down principles, precepts and doctrines and but it’s all not coming to reality. My wife is just impossible to please; we are married but living single. God, the issue is I want you to help me change her heart before I consider bailing out. Please help!

GOD: Uhm, one core purpose and intention of marriage that many of you don’t know is to support your journey to heaven. My Son, you are the problem of your marriage; you are no longer reaching out to your wife – Bisi — in love. You need to go home and love your wife, she is only to submit to you; stop comparing her with other ladies. She is the best lady for you; you top the list of her daily prayer request to me. You said you have tried all my principles, that’s wrong! The only one I demand for your marriage is LOVE, and I found you wanting in it. Stop being theoretical in loving your wife, my kind of love is in deeds. Go, read and practice my word written by Paul in 1 Cor. 13 and come back with your report.

CALL 3: MRS DUROTIJESU: (Crying) Ah God, you are wicked! What have I done for you to deserve this. After 13years of waiting for the fruit of the womb, you eventually gave me Isaac, and after 22yrs when he was returning from his NYSC, you allowed him to perish in the ill fated plane crash. Where were you when it happened? You shouldn’t have given him to me in the first place. Ah, o doju ti igbagbo mi o (You put my faith to shame).

GOD: Uhm! My daughter, I share your pain but if only you understand that my ways are not your ways. I have only answered the prayer you offered to me on the day of his dedication, when you dedicated Him to my service and asked me to take him if it remains a day for him to fall to sin that will cost him my kingdom. He’s presently with his Saviour in my Kingdom. Moreso, Isaac, have fully fulfilled His purpose for me, he died with a smile after witnessing me to the prostitute that sat with him in the plane. In totality, 27 people will be in heaven because of him. I said in Isaiah 57 that I take away the righteous before the days of evil. Shade, I have not shamed you, I have only glorified your works; channel your effort to complete your journey in me so you can join your son in my kingdom.

CALL 4: BISHOP PAUL: God, I have a confession, “I am tired of pretence” Everyone expect me to be perfect, to be everywhere, to be in every meetings and committees, to answer every call, to pray for them all…..it’s just endless; they are all just selfish. And in all this, my family concerns are all there, financial obligations are daily piling up. God, you know I am trying but I just can’t cope anymore.

GOD: Paul! I am sorry, I never called you to be a Bishop, my strength cannot abound for you outside the purpose I earmarked you for. The truth is, although, many have been saved by your message but your name is not presently in the book of life. You are busy with ambition but guilty of purpose; you refused to heed all my clear warnings and directions. I designed you to glorify me in the Academics, it is there you are of eternal value and your peace is guaranteed, with many souls of student for you to disciple.

CALL 5: PRECIOUS: Am I on to Heavengate FM

PRESENTER: Yes, go on Precious.

PRECIOUS: I need a word from God, the truth is that I’m getting weak to stand for purity. It seems I am the only one standing for you. God, you need to understand what I am going through, the pressure is overwhelming in campus. I feel so odd, even my Spiritual Mentor almost raped me the other day. It’s simply unrighteous to be righteous in this unrighteous land.

GOD: Truly, Precious I salute your unyielding dedication despite the immorality all around you, don’t give up yet, your purity is not for me, it’s a seal of security and glory over your future, and moreso you are not the only one keeping on for purity, I still have more than 600 young men and ladies in your campus who have never bowed to the pressure of fornication in your campus.1Cor 10:13, about Bro James whom you called your Spiritual Mentor, I don’t know him at all, I warned you severally about him but you were deceived by his deceitful prayer life, he’s only a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I only use that experience to save you from future danger with him.

CALL 7: SHEGXY: God is it true, are you the one?

GOD: Good to hear from you Segun. Yes, it’s. I am that I am. What can I do for you?

SHEGXY: Ha Baba God, no mind all those people wey dey wahala you with too many questions, na only one question me I get and make you just answer me straight. Na which day, month and year you dey show? Na just that simple question I get, so just answer me sharp sharp and abeg no give me proverb o?

GOD: (Shakes his head) Segun, my Son is coming soon, sooner than you think.

PRESENTER: That will be our last call. Thank you so much Erujeje for honouring our invitation. Sir, any final word for many others out there who couldn’t reach us?

GOD: Uhm! My dear Children out there, In the midst of all these global restlessness, it is only your connection to me that guarantees your rest and safety. The mountains may disappear and the hills fall, but my promise of peace will not come to an end. Also, don’t forget, your salvation is not a short-cut to heaven, remember to tell someone about me because I will ask you to produce just one person that got to heaven because of you on the last day.

PRESENTER: Thank you for your time.

GOD: I am here for you anytime. All you have to do is call.

WHY YOU DO WHAT YOU DO

Heinsight Counsellor

Friends why you do what you do is not totally hereditary; enough with the ‘generational fables’ of: “that is how we act in our family, I can’t help it”.

You have absolute control of what you make of your hereditary trait, and of what you turn out to be. Lemons are still being turned to lemonade: there is no excuse why something good/great can’t emanate from your ‘Nazareth’ [1John 45-46]

Don’t get it twisted, it is whatsoever you permit that gains access into your life, and it is whatsoever you allowed that becomes an ‘allowance’ in your affair.

Just as what you eat is what gives strength to your body: so also, it is what you feed your sense organs, they will act on. There’s no generational linkage to these.

This is therefore the conclusion of the matter:

Whatsoever the eyes feed on, becomes a seed in the ‘soil of the heart’: soon to germinate to action.

Whatsoever the ears perpetually listen to, becomes an ‘anthem of the heart’: soon to find expression on the tongue.

And whatsoever the tongue continually taste, becomes a sweet recipe to the taste bud: soon to become ‘its addiction’.

Luke 6:45 KJV
“A good man out of the GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh”.

Proverbs 4:23-27KJV
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life….[READ FULL]

Therefore check what you permit: for this is what will stay in your life. And check what you ‘look at’, because that is what you will ‘look like’. SHALOM.

LETTER TO MY DEAR CHILD

Heinsight Counsellor

pexels-bess-hamiti-35537.jpg

Oh my dear Child, I have few words to say to you. And to this I pray that you hearken, that you lay them to heart: for they’re priceless wisdom from the Master. They’re not to be traded for gold!

My Child, your first resistance to sin is the easiest; sin gets harder to resist once you give in to your first. So don’t wake the ‘dog’ you can’t put back to sleep.

My Child, your first fall in your zeal to walk is always the most painful, so get up and walk again. Don’t let the scare of falling hinder you from taking new steps.

My Dear Child, your first attempt at any good course is the toughest, so don’t stop trying should you fail the first time.

Oh my Child, the first cut is often the deepest; but try to love again and again: For it is in the fullness of love, your healing begins.

Oh my dear Child, your first taste of freedom and riches are the easiest for you to squander. So be mindful of how you spend them when they come by: they are to be Invested and managed.

[Freedom and riches are not oceans that doesn’t run dry. They are birds that fly away when their cage is let loose].

My Child, the first friends you make are your first practical trainers on how to treat your peers: they will show you whether to treat them with cruelty or with compassion. So choose your friends carefully, because they can shape your perception of life.

My dear Child, your first years of decisions are the most sensitive years of your life: they are the weakest link in ‘your ladder’ to the topmost top. So fill your first years of decisions with your Creator’s instructions: and you will not stumble.

Oh my dear Child, the world may tell you stolen bread is sweet, and that corrupt waters satisfy the thirst. But the day you taste of their bread, will be your first in a life of ceaseless lack; and the hour you drink of their waters, will be your first in the begining of your unquenchable thirst.

[So don’t steal to satisfy your hunger and don’t corrupt still waters to quench your thirst].

Finally my dear Child hearken to the instructions of thy father and forsake not the counsel of thy mother: For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
May God do help you in Jesus name.
[READ Proverbs 1:8-33]

LIFE AS WE HAVE IT

Heinsight Counsellor

Friends are you aware our life is shaped by the sum of our daily action or non-action? We become what we consciously and unconsciously do on daily basis [and this is how habits are formed]. 

Therefore my friend, intentionally look into your daily life pattern, style or habit: for it is key to becoming the best God has purposed you to be. 

So kindly pay daily attention to these warnings:

Don’t forget to start your day with prayer, lest you fall into temptation and frustration.

Don’t get too busy over personal pursuit, lest you forget to put God’s pursuit first.

Don’t live too big for God, lest you relegate the prompting of the Holy Spirit.

Don’t get too judgemental of people, lest you forget you were saved by grace. 

Don’t make excuses for yourself, lest you forget you are called to soul winning. 

Don’t get too rich in your own eyes, lest you forget you have nothing of your own self.

Don’t forget to seek first the Kingdom of God, lest you miss out in the Kingdom of God.

Don’t end your day without thanking God, lest you forfeit His mercy & faithfulness for the next day.

Finally don’t get disconnected from God, lest you die in the midst of your age.

John 15:5-6 KJV:
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. [6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

PUT OFF THE OLD MAN!

Deborah Olayiwola

To put off something is to do away with a thing, discard such thing totally. When one puts off the old man scripturally, it simply means doing away with sinful things of the past. The past here is talking about all forms of unrighteousness and iniquities before one gives his or her life to Christ . To put off the old man also means such person is trying to forsake all forms of corrupt nature the individual has been in before such person surrenders his or her life to Christ, no wonder the bible reveals it in (2nd cor. 5:17) “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things are become new”.
An old man scripturally, gets involved in old things which is totally against the will of God. In order to do away with old things, an individual needs a total and constant renewal of mind. Hence, such individual becomes a new man in Christ. (Ephesians 4: 22-24). As Christians, we all need to learn and receive the grace of putting off the old man in us at every point in time and seek the new man (col.3:9-10).
In conclusion brethren, to put off the old man is to do away totally with the devil and his tactics in brainwashing us to go back to the sins we have earlier renounced. This however can be achieved with constant fellowship with the Father and I pray as we continue the heavenly race, the ability to always resist the devil the Lord will grant us. AMEN
