READY OR NOT.

Hey lovelies,

 Are you ready for what you’re called to do as a child of 

God or not? Are you somehow not convinced that you are 

even ready when it seems like you are? Are you in the 

category of “I’m not ready”? Are you getting read for the 

race? 

All this and many more questions we need to ask. 


ourselves at some point in our life especially if you’re a 


“baby Christian” (not yet spiritually matured). As 


believers of Christ, ready or not we have to run the race to 


the end. 





To be ready the following equipments would be necessary:

  1. Be willing- when you’re ready and willing for the work, it only makes it easier for every other thing to fall in place.
  2. Put on the armor of God-  “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.” Ephesians‬ ‭6:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬
  3. Studying of the Bible (Joshua 1:8)
  4. Spend quality time with God (Proverbs 8:17) 
  5. Prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
  6. Your service in Church ( . “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.”   Colossians 3:23-24
  7. Be available for use- Whatever opportunity you get to be involved in things that has to do with God do it will all you heart and ensure to be readily available. (Isaiah 6:8).


Why some believers are not ready.

  1. Fear- some of us are scared of the what if’s in our spiritual life, we’re scared to explore the spiritual gifts and power God has bestowed upon us, scared to carry out our duties as his child.
  2. Sin- The popular saying that goes “sin dey sweet” well some believers actually do believe it is and as a result struggle with coming with from the bondage of sin even after the death of Christ has taken it away from us.
  3. Lukewarmness- In churches a lot of workers and even members are so cold and reluctant to do the things of God willingly except being forced or convinced to do so. (Revelation 3:16).
  4. Busy or unavailability to be used- Yes we are busy but when it comes to things of God we should give time for it and be solely involved in it without having people to remind us. Some believers are even so busy to the point that they forget to study the Bible or even say a word of prayer in the morning, as long as our busy life comes first then we aren’t ready to be used.
  5. Love of the flesh- This can be related to sin, the Bible says “ the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” the flesh is weak because of what it’s been fed with that makes it feel so tired and unwilling to do Gods will. As Christians we should be ready to deny our flesh somethings and until we understand the principle only then can we work on the path of readiness.
  6. Pride- When you engage in some conversations with some Christians about evangelism you hear something like “Me?? Go and evangelize? Oh no I can’t, people would be looking at me somehow, I can’t even post about it I don’t people to look at me as a spirit koko or a churchy person” all this are words of someone who still lives in Pride and such a person isn’t ready to be used.


Why you need to be ready.

  1. To fulfill God’s purpose- We are instruments God has placed here on earth to propagate the gospel and let the world know about him and along side with signs and wonders.
  2. In order not to be caught unaware- We do not want to wake up one day and it’s time for us to start manifesting Christ in us to people and we discover that we aren’t even ready or don’t even know what step to take next, we also don’t want to said to on the last “ depart from for I know you not”.
  3. To know how to deal with things the right way- God didn’t say it’s going to be an easy journey or a smooth one, people would step on your toes, criticize you, persecute you, the places you might be sent to might not be conducive for you but in all of this what would be your reaction? What would you do? WHAT WILL JESUS DO? (WWJD).


I hope this helps you get ready for Gods work, ready or 

not the mantle is upon us, so it’s better we are ready than to be caught unaware.

STARTING AFRESH.

Hey lovelies   Happy weekend ❤️ I’m sure seeing the title you felt like not again as per  you’ve probably read it somewhere before or read  something similar to the topic. Well, yeah it might be similar but you’ll gain something  new or renew some old knowledge gained before now 😊 . I would like to share a story.  If you’re following me on  Instagram then you’ve read the  story already but  nevertheless  keep reading 😊 . This topic dawned on me yesterday while searching for  something and I came across a bag which I stored my  materials for bag making, and I started thinking of starting  afresh but before then, I thought of why I stopped and  honestly I didn’t have any cogent reason as to why I  stopped  making the bags (I mean I had great sales). What then is Thegabbytable trying to say you must be  asking. There are things we’ve probably started in life’s journey  that was either going well or ...

CONSISTENCY PART 3

Happy Weekend lovelies,  I hope your week was great😊. Today we are looking into consistency in a different  dimension or revelation 😁 and it’s subtitled “THE  CURE FOR INCONSISTENCY” How do you develop spiritual consistency that blesses  your family? Abraham acted foolishly, but he also  modeled what to do when you have fallen by repenting  and, eventually, renouncing his sin. Abraham had an underlying selfishness and fear that led  him to come up with a strategy of self-protection. He  wasn’t convinced that God would or could protect him;  so, he put in place a plan to protect himself. His bad  decisions (fruit) flowed from that false belief (root). Part of the healing process is to get below the surface of  the fruit (what you see as the problem) and deal with the  root. What is the underlying lie you believe and the  strategy you have put in place around it? Repent of that  and renounce that. A consistent Christi...
