Your Consecrations And Your Relationships.

Consecrations can sound weird. A few examples. God can tell you:
– Live a fasted life. Eat once a day – and twice on special occasions.
– Delete certain apps – or abstain from social media altogether.
– No secular movies or music.
– No attending Happy Hour with your colleagues.
– Certainly no alcohol. Etc…

So, you would like to marry a called man or woman – or you already married one.
You would like to have called children – or you already have them.

That’s great!

However, let me give you a little heads-up:

They. Don’t. Belong. To. You.
Their first love is not you.
Their highest loyalty is not to you.

Our children are not too young to know God.
They are not too young to be filled with the Spirit.
They are not too young to speak in tongues.
They are not too young to be used by God.

I once watched a video of young children praying in tongues – and the comments by some Christian adults shook me to the core…

You don’t need more spiritual power. Or fire.
You need more tarrying capacity: The ability to stay in his presence until you are “endued with power” – and fire naturally falls.

You don’t need more money.
You need more earning and learning capacity. (Click on the image to read more.)

In my first year in the university, I got baptised in the Holy Spirit – and I fell in love with God. Obsessively. I didn’t want anything to come between us.

I loved music and used to be in the choir, and when it was time for special numbers, we would sometimes go out to sing – me included.
There was a certain girl in my group who would just watch. Reserved.

It’s strange how the enemy skews our perspective; how he makes the insignificant become our focus – instead of the bigger picture:

He makes us reluctant to openly profess Christ – in a world of eight billion people – because we are very conscious of twenty members of our family or inner circle. Or even ONE certain individual…

The Parable Of The Well (Archives).

There was a certain city, and in that city, there was severe drought.

The people thirsted desperately for fresh water and, in their bid to keep from dying of thirst, began to invent other liquids.

Like most man-made inventions, however, these addictive fluids didn’t fully satisfy. They only caused a temporary high which wore off after sometime.
