Strapping up Armour

We had a church wide prayer involving all the language churches. I felt that God was about to tell me something, but I knew also that I had not prepared my self as much as I should have. Nevertheless, the presence of God was really wonderful. For the past few weeks, this verse has been resounding in my heart.

Matthew 18: 18-19 “18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

It speaks to me presonally as well as for the church. Thru Christ we have been given the auhority and the keys of the kingdom to bring about the kingdom of God here on earth. We are to march forward and know that the gates of Hell can no longer prevail against us. Sickness, weariness, challenges, persecution, financial struggles, etc…It is time to stand upon our rock and the word of God. And not allow the enemy to deceive us into inactivity and fear! Time to stand up and be bold. I don’t know why, but i always get fearful when God shows me the fact that greater things are in store for the zone, the church etc. I cringe in fear….but I have since repented….I am strapping on my armour and lacing my shoes cos I am moving forward to take my position. Colleges and campuses, family and friends, all need to be saturated with the presence of God… And the gates of Hades cannot prevail becausee it is not by might nor by power, but by His spirit says the Lord! WOW! Talk about full back up!

Faith and trust are essential in this new position. I am rising up once again. Rise up O Intecessor of the Lord. Rise up handmaiden and warrior. Time is of the essence.

Have been motivated to delve into the prophets…so that will be the focus for the new few weeks leading up to Easter. Join me?

heartbreak!

Today I went to visit an old family friend who used to do facials for me when I was really really young! yeah! She is a chatty chatty nice woman. And mum and I wanna reach out to her so we visited her and I ended up going for a facial. All the while she is chatting nicely and whilst the facial is going on in her home (which is a 5 min drive from my house), she is also boiling some yummy nutricious soup which is good for my ailing skin. Yes, she is a sweetheart! Then she broke my heart.  After the facial was over, she chats as we drink soup and calmly tells me how much I look like mum and even my figure is rounding out just like hers!!!! Yipes! I an round?! Facial aunty remembers me from 8 years ago and sadly I have grown so much since! Sigh!

Yes-I am starting to watch my food intake both the content and the timing of it. She also chides me about my sleep and how no matter how many hours I sleep to recover the eye bags will remain black. Because apparently I need to rest early and it is ok to wake up early too….just don sleep at 2am or 3am. Sigh! She loaded mum and I with lots of red beans, and other stuff i cant pronounce for us to boil soup. She has a plan to re-invigorate my skin and health the natural way! So whilst my heart is broken after being called round, I am glad we have re-established our friendship. Prayerfully she will follow us to church soon. Till then, I shall endevour to sleep early and rise early and eat healthy!

hmm….Is it a coincidence that a season of prayer and FASTING is coming up? A call to pray, a call to fast, a call to healthy living-spiritually and physically! Woo hoo! LOL!
