Obedience to God, parents and authority is key to success in life - 17 April 2017
Monday awakened, had a long sleep, had a good night rest. To God be the glory, alive still breathing and healthy.
My neighbor Anthony came to check on me; we relaxed, chilled and relaxed together we were sleepy.
I went through my folder where i had some writings and collections of my plans for now and the future. Happy i was able to go through.
Based on it, i had like to have a timetable with plans for activities i had be running during the day.
I was doing something as such whilst i was still a corper.
And i had some tremendous successes and some good things happening.
Working with a plan has got a nice way of shining light on a man's path.
Reminds me of what Jesus mentioned about building a tower, endeavoring one counts the cost of what it will take to build such. And having soldier measuring 10,000 and another coming against you with 20,000 , you have to really be affirmative you are going to win, else it is wiser to seek for peace.
Later in the evening attended youth fellowship in the church, glad met some of my brethren. The focus was on evil, it's definitions and synonyms. Some gave other meanings such as what is not good, wickedness, outlawed, etc. Case of David was considered, how he fell due to the fact that he didn't participate in war; gave him an angle to sneak and peek at Bathsheba, next he was falling was sinning. An idle hand is the devil's workshop. Youth coordinator pointed light upon his lifestyle and divine help. Works, goes to PG school, he is home he is resting. ALWAYS BUSY! No time for evil. His past was not a bed of roses, had negative influences, smoke wise, drug wise, whore wise and more dirty money. God helped him to skip setup for drug deals to make millions.
ADVICE ON ABSTAINING FROM EVIL
1) Be careful what you look at
2) Watch what you listen to
Job 2 v 9 (avoid bad advisors)
Keep your heart with all diligence, from it comes the issues of life
3) Dont embrace another man's wife
Be wary of company you keep and how you relate with other men's women.
4) Watch what you wear
We shared about how ladies and guys should avoid wearing short things, cos in places like the North, might not be tolerated. Additionally, we should endeavor not to abuse grace and do all in moderation.
5) Avoid occassions that will get one angry
Avoid quarrels and using swear words.
Later on i left for Yarkasuwa to meet a friend. Got there a little late though, thank God who heeded to my prayers as i pleaded for a vehicle to transport me.
We shared word of God and words from the books.
I asked him about his opinion about living the life of Christ. He explained to me how we are all seeking for God and the surest path. For example, in islam izallah's believe one has got to wear moustaches and avoid wearing trousers which go way down while a sect he identified to dont see things that way.
Further meeting will add more light on our eyes of understanding.
May God help us to be faithful and obedient to follow the path of light he is revealing unto us in Jesus name.
In evening fellowship, focus was on being ruled by mammon. We concluded that godliness with contentment is great gain. Having food and raiment, one should be content. Love of money is the root of all evil, and many have missed the road because of this. We looked at 1 Timothy 6:6-11.
Back home happy to see my dad praise God for journey mercies.
Though, my parents are not happy with me for being disobedient. Heard rumours i did this i did that didnt love back.
Some wonderful person(s) been acting as a portal telling tales about me God bless that person.
I choose to genuinely repent from all evil and cause my earthly parents and my Father above to be happy and pleased with me continually in Jesus name.
We shall all meet some day in the full joy of the Lord celebrating till eternity enjoying our heavenly privileges in Jesus name
