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.

MEMORIES.

Hey lovelies, I do hope you’re doing great. So, I’d like to thank you for reading my last post, for sharing and commenting, I love you❤️. So today’s write up is going to seem more like a poem or journal I really don’t know which to call it, but I hope it keeps you occupied and you learn a thing a two from it😌. Enjoy my little piece🤗. What is life without memories? What is life without moments? What is life without people? What is life without memories? Memories are gifted scenarios Memories are unforgettable  Memories are cherished Memories remind you of the moments  Memories can be good Memories can be bad A of a single memory can either bring a smile to your face or bring tears to you. Memories are a gift to us as humans Memories are to remember at some stages of life. Memories are to be made and created every step of the way. Memories are what we should have and cherish. Some memories can be bad and some good, but all that matters is that they are memories and you remembe...

CONSISTENCY PART2

I t’s that time of the week again and I’m glad you’re  reading this☺️.  Today we’re going to be looking into what it cost to be consistent, because being consistent as some will say  “no be beans” it takes a lot from us as Christians. It is expected of us when we say, “I’m a Christian,” that we model it consistently before others. Not  perfection. Consistency.  But spiritual consistency is costs. In regard to my car,  it  cost me a battery. In regard to our faith, the costs are pricier: Again, spiritual consistency doesn’t mean we’re  perfect, but it does mean we’re honest. It costs us our  pride as we confess our sins to God and to one another   (1 John 1:9; James 5:16). It costs us some sleep, as we get up perhaps 30  minutes earlier to make our relationship with God our  priority each day (Proverbs 8:34-35; Mark 1:35).  Spiritual consistency costs us the daily sacrificing of  our own wills and s...

CONSISTENCY (part 1).

Hey lovelies, Happy weekend☺️. I hope y’all doing good and walking in faith. Before reading, prepare your mind and heart to learn and unlearn, understand and be enlightened on things. Consistency in the walk of the Spirit is what produces the power of God. The problem is we have a lazy generation who wants to experience power without sacrifice! We have a lazy church who wants impact without power and power without spiritual pressure! So in the end what we have is a church that resembles the world and not a world that resembles the church! 2 Chronicles 5:13-14, "It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; So that the priests could not stand to minister because ...
