Walking in Love - Dodging the devil's traps

 Hi people,

So today I am sharing how to dodge the enemy's traps. By enemy, I mean the devil. 

Thank God It's Friday: Sharing on Love and Relationships

I don't talk about love, marriage and all that stuff

I like gist and this couple's gist was really cool

They sound like real people

Different from the characters they played in Empire

Thursday Video: My heart burns for "you"

Have you known the love of God?

Have you received the love of God?

Have you accepted that God loves you forever?

It does something not just for you but IN YOU.

I am sharing this video by Jesus Culture called Obsession
There is no better obsession to have than the Lord Jesus

Now when you know how much He loves you
There is no setback you cannot rise up from because Jesus has always got Your back
and He always always means what He says
He doesn't waste words

I witness Christ

No one ever recovered from Jesus' love
When you know His love it's like you are standing on a rock that you can't be moved from.
If you don't know Jesus
If you have not experience the love of the Father
Seek Him
You are made forever when you find yourself in Christ

I will pray for you that you will find Him.


Enjoy your Thursday.

My heart loves this

Yippee!!!

See what Google thinks of me
It is flattering...
Thank God I already loved Google
Else I would have had to leave Bing and AskJeeves for Google.com

That's all really for today.

I am in a good place, secure under the shadow of His wings, me and mine and our destinies are safe in His hands.

#ChristCentred

Is this a rant? No It is a mix of so and so.

I am tired of the arguments of ignorants who don't know better. I am tired of the fetishes of people who want to be something they don't yet understand. I am tired of being misunderstood.

To explain walking and living in the Spirit, read this.

Faith is a journey but some things are basics.

To hear from Smith Wigglesworth about faith, read here, here and here.

Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God who causes arguments from all and sundry because truth be told, the unbelieving would rather the church be powerless or at least explainable. Everything that isn't explainable is heresy. Ask anyone to describe heresy and the greatest definition I have for heresy is blind hatred. Joan of Arc, the disciples and other notable Christians who aren't in world would best explain this.

I thought I would keep quiet but I won't. Show me your faith by your actions, not just your words and not words and actions contradicting each other. 

You can hear the word for 30 years even 40 and the action you take subconsciously will point to you what you believe if you are conscious of them.

I am not perfect, I have never claimed to be but I have come to the gathering of just men made perfect and I don't have to prove it to anyone. 

The fact that I am a woman does not make me inferior and will never make me inferior or silent either. No one has the right to tell me how to worship my God, or pray or a rote to follow. The bible says we are to worship in Spirit and in truth and I am not living in the north that I should be afraid of worshipping the Lord neither am I living under the law that I should be living to please any human being above God.

Is it still a rant?

Nah, it is a mix of so and so. I used to be fetish but I stopped being fetish with a bang when I surrendered to Jesus. I didn't do it to join a social club either. I came into the gathering of those who are sanctified. I have an inheritance with them who are sanctified; the saints. When I say saints, I am not refering to a church denomination, I am not limited by that. I am refering to the people, them who know the Lord.

I lost my voice for so long that I don't intend losing it to anyone for any reason.

"Milk and honey are in my lips"

"Out of my belly shall flow rivers of living water"

If I am silent, how do I get anything done on earth? How do I exercise dominion? God has made it clear that nothing should stop me from the destination that He has planned for me and that He is not standing in my way. In fact, He is my prompter, He is the One leading the way. How is it possible for me to know the coordinates to get to the place of  destiny without the Holy Ghost leading me?

I laugh. 

This is why I laugh. I wonder how others find their way without God. The intellect of man, our intelligence is a terrible master when we have an enemy who is not subject to the wisdom of this world. How do you best satan with your intelligence. The wisdom of God can and does best satan all the time. 

The point of this rant/post is that I will not lose my voice and I have a scripture that is backing. If any be strong enough. I don't ask you to come against me, No I am not strong on my own. I ask you to come against the word of God that is backing me and see if you can prevail. Many pharaohs have come and gone. There is no pharaoh that can prevail over me because I am not fulfilling my own vision. Thank God I could not conjure a vision on my own. All the years of waiting culminated in a great trust for God. He is the giver of the vision and the fulfiller of the vision. 

"The Lord is my light and my salvation, WHOM shall I fear?"

Here is the word that backs me. If you can strike it out of the bible, then you can come against me. But if you can't. If you have submitted to live under the word of God, then you can't come against me and if you do, good luck besting God.

GALATIANS

Will you accept Verse 29 without accepting Verse 27 & 28?

Remember you can't pick some parts of the bible to obey and leave some other parts out.

The Holy Ghost has said that the devil and his minions are not a factor so I must manage the other covenant relationship He has put me in. As long as it is the right place.

I need to stop somewhere...

Other resources from Smith Wigglesworth except you believe that Wigglesworth is not a Christian too?

Faith being an action here

The main thing is not healing but preach the kingdom of God and His righteousness here

I don't why healing causes so much controversy and encounters so much opposition from many who claim to believe. It beats me.

I am intoxicated by the Holy Ghost, I will never deny Him here

My inheritance: The Holy Spirit is the One who helps you claim your inheritance here

I used to hear the heritage of the sons in my spirit but it appeared to be audible, I heard it countless times until it drove me to read and to search until I found what the Holy Ghost wanted to show me. 

I heard Jehovah Mekoddishkem about a 1000 times or more over three weeks, it was frustrating. At the time I worked in a church, I asked everyone and no one could tell me what it meant. That was when I was lazy. Now I just get out a concordance and a bible and I start studying. Not every time they must feed you cerelac. Sometimes you need to cook the food. I eventually discovered that it means: "I am the One who sanctifies you" so don't be surprised that I don't lose my confidence or get scared. Imagine hearing one word almost a thousand times over three weeks.

Read full of faith here.

So I have been troubled in my spirit for 3 days. I couldn't rest until I wrote out this word. Now I can have peace again.

I am not a pastor and I don't want to be. I honor pastors but the position holds too many controversies for me to ever covet the position of a pastor.

I have been called selfish but I don't believe that I am. If you have received the Holy Ghost and been taught of Him and pursued a relationship with Him you will know that having the ear of God and having God's attention is more important than having a position.

Having a relationship with the Holy Ghost makes that position effective though. 

I will continue after or might not but I know that enough is out.

I am an ALIEN...

God has made us for Himself. He longs for our fellowship and communion. To walk with Him moment by moment, right here in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation, in a world that has no use for a separated, Holy Ghost life, a world whose God is Satan,—to walk with God as the sainted Brainerd and the seraphic Fletcher walked when they were here, to live as pilgrims and strangers in a world that crucified our Lord—that is His design and His purpose for us, How then can we bear to disappoint Him, and thus fail to win His approbation? God wants us to be one hundred per cent for Him. And so the question arises: Are we out and out for Jesus Christ? Are we wholly God's?

This looks very much like 'Pilgrim's Progress'. My sister had the book. I read as much as I could. My Dad found the book and threw it away. I learnt something that day, the enemy is afraid of you getting to know God because then you would do exploits. So you better do all you can to seek God and know Him daily. I always say my family is my inheritance so they will come to the saving knowledge of Christ. None is hell-bound that is connected to me, they will know God. Photo Credit: Google Images

 My mindset right now!

God has made us for Himself.

God created me for Himself. The life in me is His own. The time I have is His. My voice is His. My hands and feet are His. My face, my body, my soul, my spirit, my possessions, my accomplishments are His to do with as He pleases.

He longs for our fellowship and communion.

I pray that I remember to speak with Him daily and sing to Him and pray to Him and read His word and just generally listen to Him. To pay attention to His needs and His voice and His call and His instructions and not to get overwhelmed by it all. To rest when He rests and move when He moves. To live this life He has given through Him. Like I said, I pray I remember daily.

To walk with Him moment by moment, right here in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation, in a world that has no use for a separated, Holy Ghost life, a world whose God is Satan,

To live every moment in Him in spite of the darkness, not within me, thank God; I have been translated into light. To shine in spite of darkness around me in the world because I carry the most high in my spirit. He lives in me so that no matter what darkness I see, I can stand un-intimidated by it because I am conscious of my heavenly Father.

,—to walk with God as the sainted Brainerd and the seraphic Fletcher walked when they were here, to live as pilgrims and strangers in a world that crucified our Lord—that is His design and His purpose for us, How then can we bear to disappoint Him, and thus fail to win His approbation?

I am a saint. I walk with Jesus daily even when I am going to work. Yes, I have a halo. Yes I am sealed with the Holy Ghost. I am a pilgrim. I am not in my world. I move in another’s world. An agent, if you please. I have a mission. My mission is for souls. I need them to know that Jesus has paid. They do not have to wonder in darkness any more. They can come into the family of God. All they need do is surrender it all to Jesus, their life, their family, their purpose. Start with making Him Lord and then getting to know Him, they don’t have to wonder in darkness. They can have a helper the Holy Ghost who will guide them into all truth and show them things to come. That is my call, to witness Christ, to mirror Him and thus draw the attention of the world, draw men to Him even as I go about my daily activities because I am His taxi but He is the taxi driver. I will not disappoint Him, I will fulfil my mission by the power of the Holy Ghost that is in me.

Okay, this lady is just like me, every time I bother to look up, God shows me the way. I am making Pilgrim's Progress, putting to work the things I have learnt. Photo Credit: Reuters. 

God wants us to be one hundred per cent for Him. And so the question arises: Are we out and out for Jesus Christ? Are we wholly God's?

I am God’s. I am bought with a price. I am not my own. I have got an owner, a maker, a keeper, a protector. I am sold out to Jesus. I am hundred percent God’s property. I belong to Him. He is my God. I am His people. We are in covenant.

Confessions arisen from reading ‘The Man God Uses by Oswald J Smith’.

Thank you (Devotions by Moi)

She sent me the e-book. If you request it, I will send it to you too. Just send me an email at tessadoghor@gmail.com

I can’t hoard it. I want to share it with you that I might save one, bring one to the knowledge of the saving grace of Jesus Christ and bring one to relationship with the LORD. Did you hear about John Osteen (the father of Joel Osteen) he always says, don't allow the devil stop you from copying this book and reproducing so that others get blessed so if you are looking for free material on the internet, you can go there too.

Osewhen asked me what my faith means to me.
I didn't want to write much. I will just copy my comment and paste here.

Jesus is everything to me
I get so tongue-tied talking about Him
but I can write forever.

Here is what I wrote:

I am not perfect
I am by no means perfect in character
BUT
I know that I have come to the city of just men made perfect
I have confessed Jesus as LORD (and I think you should too)
It is important
My most important gift from Christianity is the Holy Ghost
I think that you should desire Him
He has turned my life upside down and right side up
He is so awesome

One of the first things He told me was “the letter kills but the Spirit gives life”.
It changed my life
My life aint perfect but in the painting of my life, the Holy Ghost has written lovely tapestries that religion would never do for me. I would rather have relationship with God than religion
I talk to God
I know that sounds crazy
He talks back to me and that is the most amazing thing about my faith
Instead of praying to God, I just chat with Him about the stuff I want or what I know I have in Him based on His word and I worship a lot
I always get chatty when I am done, I don’t complain
Instead I talk to God and appreciate Him and who He is and what He is on His own and who He is to me and How He is so awesome.
No time to complain to God when we should be chatting.

Well this is what I said.

Seek, Find, Live

I found this blog today. Her name is Dora

I read her post and felt hugged. Her words cut through.

I hear some words and I don't even think it pierces through the haze I sometimes feel. This got to my soul today and maybe it will get to yours too.

I saw so much word on her blog and maybe it was the word but I think her blog has a touch of the Holy Ghost. I can't say why I love the Holy Ghost, I just know that when I am conscious of Him, I feel alive. Like I have been living somehow 'without' that thing. I just know that I read her blog and the word ministered to my spirit. My soul felt good. Exodus 23:25 used to be my constant confession. It is on her blog too.

I am conscious of God. Too darn conscious of Him and I wouldn't have it any other way.

When I wasn't conscious of God, all I was conscious of, was how smart I am, how intelligent I am, how perfect my eyes, ears, nose, legs, body is. So it is not like I don't have flesh. I do. I just know what to prefer now. I prefer God. I put Him first. I kill my narcissistic tendencies when they show up, or rather when the Holy Spirit shows them to me. I am His and He is mine. There is nothing that the devil can do about it through whoever. Forever yoked to Christ and pledged to Him. My allegiance is to Him. His allegiance is to me and I trust in His word. I asked Him when I gave my life to Him or received His life; to prove Himself to me and He hasn't stopped. I know God on a supernatural plane. I don't view Him as far away. He is as close as I can voice out and call to Him. I do call and I will call. 

I am not soft. Nothing about me is soft. I do look soft on the outside but I have a very analytical, calculating brain. It doesn't fit my external looks. However I am not what I look like on the outside. God gave me a beautiful house and I am grateful for it. I am my recreated human spirit, alive to God and to righteousness, dead to sin and its baser nature.

I am so following that chic. There are not many people I read and I am instinctively inspired to write about God. There are few and I keep them close. I have lots of people I talk to but not many friends and I like it like that. God and I have a covenant that whoever and whatever I need will come my way. I am open to the people necessary for my destiny but the other people, I am not willing to invest my time, emotions and my energy in everyone BUT when I sense that something is necessary for my destiny, I give it everything I have got. I focus my energies in the direction that God is leading me and He does lead me.

Two CEOs. Read about Bukky George on Mrs. O's blog (http://www.udookonjo.com)

I get a sense of fulfilment from working on this blog because it is a nation builder. Nigeria's and indeed Africa's entrepreneurs and future leaders are being built via this blog so I feel a responsibility to give it all I have got but this will give vision and save the purpose of many. I love to help people birth their dreams because God so orchestrated my life that all the right people necessary to get me to where I am going always came to me and had the right words to say to me to get me moving on the God path. I am glad they were obedient, I am more glad that God in His wisdom caused me to be receptive to their words. I am blessed and because I am blessed I would like you to be also. I cannot do the difficult thing for you though, things like commitment and discipline and sticking to God's word like velcro. I can provide the information and resources that you need in the hope that it will cause you to wake up to your vision and start fulfilling the purpose God has for you.

God bless you all

PS 

I have an inkling this blog post will cause change. Thank you Holy Ghost for your guidance.I can feel God's hand on me. waoh.

Please be blessed. Do take advantage. Learn how. If you seek, you will find

It is the glory of God to hide a thing

It is the honour of kings to seek it out

Or something like that.

Awesome week...

I am amazed.

God is so good
Building, building, building

I anticipate a glorious week with amazing opportunities
and my mind filled with witty inventions to conquer babylon

I am filled to overflowing with God's love
I am manifesting the fruit of the Spirit in all ramification
expecting strange works and strange acts by a mighty God
I am thankful for the unspeakable gifts of God
and soaring on the wings of the Holy Ghost

I am taking my God-ordained place and excersing dominion
everywhere I go.
Favor is my name.

Ciao!

Faith is

"He who comes to come must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him" - Writer of Hebrews.

How easy these words seem to be? But how difficult they are to put into practice.
This is what the faith walk is.

If you know me well, you will know that I prowl all around social media like it is a supermarket but I am discerning in the type of content I allow into my space. I am diligent in guarding my heart.

I am reading this scripture above from somewhere in Hebrews (Go read and maybe we can share this stuff) and I see that God wants to be diligently sought.

Scripture says that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. So when I seek out God and look for His presence in my day and in the little and the big things that I do, God is well pleased. God is pleased when I can take out five minutes in my day to see what he is thinking.

One of the first beliefs I should have is that, "God is".
This should be my belief not just when I am feeling good, this should be my belief even when contrary winds are blowing. I know that, God is. I always know that God is, when I am happy and when I am sad; I still know that God is.

Photo is credited to cfcyouthforchrist.net

This is faith. This belief in the existence of God and that He rewards those who seek Him. I am not trying to do anything or get Him to do anything. I just know that He is and that He is sovereign over all and everything.

He is God.
He is.
He exists
He rewards those who diligently seek Him
He is love
He loves

This is faith!

Foundation

• Faith, hope & Love is of God

• I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 

Writing my thoughts Yay!

I am happy, truly happy
Hard work is ahead of me, but favour is also.

I have learnt to look at God through hard times
Pray and not complain or grumble
I have learnt to trust God for tomorrow
and give Him the things I cannot handle to sort out
I have had so many dreams, not so good.

But I am trusting God on this and breaking bread...
I am grateful for the speaking blood of the covenant
Jesus cut a covenant with me and that day is still my greatest.

I am blessed on all sides.
I am blessed so much it is pouring out of me
I am not perfect but then I don't want to be
I have known the fullness of God in my imperfections
Without my imperfections I may not have sought God so much
and He would have had a difficult time finding me

Through God and through the journey of my love
I have learnt about the love of God, heard about His promised
Experienced His promises, learnt to hear from God
That is a treasure that I can't say thank you enough for.

Because of my journey I have heard about that thing called 'spiritism'
I had to know what it meant because a lot of folks were confusing
the baptism of the Holy Spirit with spiritism
They are two different things, I  have spiritual reference finally
I saw it in the book of Romans or Corinthians, not sure
but it is in the bible, the word that is; and I am preparing a post.

I am thankful for the Holy Spirit's discernment and direction
Many times I could have been confused but I am thankful for the wisdom of God
that protects me and for the mercy of God that covered me and mine.

Thankful for courageous men who were able to speak the mind of God for the season and not hold back because they were embarrassed. I guess I would have been embarrassed but I am praying for courage everyday to embrace what God has for me with boldness.

I cannot be stopped, I cannot be defeated, I cannot be talked down
I have the help of the Holy Spirit and He is talking me up everyday
The more my environment tries to talk me down, the more the Holy Ghost talks me up
I have found a new Christian group that edifies me, they can't find them because
I will not be advertising them. Not everyone is my friend and I won't kid myself
So I will keep my private things private.

Peace
Joy
Love
Self control (Temperance)
Goodness
Kindness
Faith
Gentleness
Long suffering
Meekness

All these are my portion in the month of November
Against this, there is no law.
