All you need now is to IDENTIFY the true Christian group so that when you're in their midst you can start imitating those who are worshiping God in spirit and truth {Hebrew 13:7} you're just going through the normal process every sheep belonging to Christ do pass. We will not feel comfortable until we're certain that we're doing things right.
As a sincere and honest hearted person, if you're not in the midst of the congregation of the true God, you won't feel contented {Psalms 1:1} you will always feel that something is missing somehow, that's what you're experiencing now!
So what you need is to IDENTIFY the group God is using to dispense spiritual food in this end time, of course they're also imperfect humans like everyone else but because Jesus is in there midst {Matthew 28:20} you will notice the fruit of God's holy spirit permeating their gathering! Galatians 5:22-23 compare to Matthew 7:16-18

God bless you!

Bless you too sir

Thank you!

That's what I do currently as an undergraduate. I pay my school fees and feed from it and still send my beloved mama small small change from it but mama left me some months ago. May God have mercy on her soul.

RIP mum

The Christian race is like a marathon. On the way, you'll many times be tempted to stop: but only those who persevere can hope to complete the race and win the prize.

To help yourself
1. Study the word of faith on a personal and corporate levels.
2. Meditate on the word and come to program your mind to do the word with respect to living right with God
3. Learn to fight in the Spirit using the tools of prayer. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood
4. Invest your time in serving God with your spiritual gifts and talents especially within your church
5. Do not neglect the fellowship of brethren. Iron sharpens iron

Finally, you need to keep your spiritual environment clean. You can't be feeding yourself rotten and contaminated food and not experience diarrhoea and dysentry.
You can't be watching porn, reading erotic books, listening to non edifying music and claim that your treatment is not working

Thank you sir

Obedience if the key as far as God's covenants are concerned.

It is the key to the Old Covenant

And He made sure to let the people know of this then,

And it remains the key as far as Jesu Christ is concerned. Obedience of the commandments of Jesus Christ(the New Covenant), all 46 or so of them.

According to Jesus Christ,

I now understand the obedience concept, thank you very much sir

jesusjnr2020:
Don't stop regardless.

Keep at it and pray til you get to the point of spiritual equilibrium where it's hard to stop. And also try and add some fasting to it.

Also study the Word of Jesus which gives life, and follow whatever it instructs, and watch yourself gradually transform into what God intends for you to be.

God bless.

Thank you sir

Hi there.

11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ
Ephesians 4:11-15 (NKJV)

Without spiritual growth, it is really hard for any believer to please the Lord. Believers who remain spiritual children always struggle with the flesh and stay stuck in concerns of sanctification. Spiritual growth enables us to grow in sanctification as well and increasingly frees us from moral struggles so that we can actually be of positive use to the Lord. That is the gist of the above passage.

So, I would advise that anyone who really wants to please God should diligently seek out a worthy pastor-teaching ministry from which they can learn everything that the Bible teaches in a systematic, that is, an organized manner. Without a clear, solid framework of true biblical teaching, as you see above, we remain children who are vulnerable to false teachers and false teaching. We don't amount to much for God that way.

Not every person or ministry out there that styles itself a pastor/teacher is actually anything of the kind, as you see in that passage too. Many people or ministries out there are actually predators looking for vulnerable Christians to prey upon. So, the Lord Jesus gave us a way to keep safe in our search and to identify the right one when we come upon it:

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Matthew 7:15-20 (NKJV)

33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.
Matthew 12:33-35 (NKJV)

We call the above the fruit test. Although it is often interpreted entirely to mean an investigation of a given pastor's behavior in accordance with Galatians 5:19-23, that is not really what the Lord was saying. Certainly, a true pastor-teacher should behave more along the lines of Galatians 5:22-23 than along the lines of Galatians 5:19-21 - in fact, if they do not, it is proof that they are not yet ready for ministry - but nobody is or will ever be morally perfect in this life, as James 3:2 and 1 John 1:8-2:1 teach, so the passage in Matthew 7 does not speak wholly to behavior. Rather, as the one in Matthew 12 shows, the fruit in question is what the pastor-teacher actually says that the Bible teaches, that is, the fruit is their actual teaching.

How then can we know that a teaching is good fruit or bad if we need spiritual growth to become able to escape false teaching? By reading the Bible.

9 How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
Psalms 119:9 (NKJV)

If you know what the Bible actually says, even when you don't really understand what it says, it will be very hard for anyone to deceive you about it. The Bible is the security that God has given to us to protect us from false teachers and false prophets. So, if you are diligent in reading it, it will help you identify the wolves in sheep's clothing and the true shepherds that the Lord has put among us to help us grow spiritually.

It is also argued that we don't need teachers to understand the Bible because of 1 John 2:27. I believe that Ephesians 4:11-15 is clear that we do. 1 John 2:27 is misunderstood by many and twisted out of shape by others who make that argument. What it actually says is that the people to whom John was writing already knew the Gospel, so they didn't need anyone to tell them what it was anymore, so they were not to fall prey to the antichrists that were teaching a "new" false Gospel that Jesus Christ never came in the flesh. That was the point of that whole first letter of his, namely, that Jesus was truly Human just as He was truly God. Those who had heard that and believed it did not need anyone to tell them anything else. Obviously, if they really did not need any teaching, then John wouldn't be writing to them at all.

So, in summary, I encourage you to seek out a worthy pastor-teaching ministry and submit to its teaching in order to grow spiritually and become able to control the urges of your flesh more effectively and also be able to do what God calls us all to do: to grow spiritually (that is, keep seeking the whole Truth of the Bible, believing it, and obeying it) and help others to do the same with what unique spiritual gifts the Lord has given to us. This is what the Lord will reward us or rebuke us for when He judges the Church at His Return.

Cheers.

Indeed, this is a powerful piece

Thanks Sir

Wolgrace:
First of all, do not condemn yourself neither allow any one to do so. You are in the process of warring state i.e struggling with addiction. It's a war between your strong old flesh and newly rebirth spirit, but your continuous striving will invite He that is stronger.

Despite all the advices above, you need the Holy Spirit to identify and reveal the root/source of the war. Could be generational curse, household curse, other curse, evil foundation, marine spirit, soul ties, evil initiation, many others. They are mostly the sources of rising and falling of spiritual, the worst of them all is marine attack and evil foundation. They never let go easily, reason I earlier stated never to condemn yourself but deal with lack spiritual of knowledge i.e lack of spiritual identification. These things also kills anointing and ministry if they are not deeply addressed aggressively.

Having applied all the above advices, go for aggressive deliverance. I'm telling you the secret of spiritual liberty and breakthrough..

Thank you sir

Dtruthspeaker:


I did not wish to comment here and increase all who shall come to give counsel but I think it needful to slip this is because The Lord has visited you and your walk with Him has begun. Blessed are you when the Lord Visits you.

And therefore I give you these tips.

Having been visited by the Lord, there are many many things you have to learn (And Must learn) and you are going to learn them all by yourself.

One of which is, what you are going through already, which is, "you can do nothing (good) without Christ".

That is what God is showing you and you have seen it, but you do not understand.

Another Lesson is that He is showing you your nature, that you are a professional sinner of the best quality, if and when He lives you alone.

There are other lessons here but you are supposed to discover them. (I went through that and many more myself, but I rejoice today because of those lessons).

Keep pondering, keep observing, keep asking for the Lord's Assistance and Learn the Lessons.

You would not be Promoted to the next set of lessons unless you have passed this one.

Thank you sir

As you Read the Word , you act on what you Read. it's not by Power or Skill.

3. Commmunication with God is very Vital. We communicate through Prayers. Pray for People, pray for Sinners! Pray for Expansion of the Gospel, Pray For yourself ( Prayers for yourself should be Majorly on Spiritual things that will advance your walk with God).
Pray in the spirit! Ask DADDY for His Grace on daily Basis!

4. Be mindful of what your Eyes sees!
There a Certain friends you need to cut off from or treat with a very long spoon
When your Eyes sees what it's not supposed to see, Make sure you Repent immediately..

5. Get to listen to Real Messages and Hard Truths from GENUIE Servants of God..
Listen to Hard Bitter Truths from the Word of God. Some may get you annoyed but they will groom you and Strengthen you in your Walk with God..

I'm so impressed sir.

Thank you

Be submitted under a church and.under a Pastor. Lack of accountability can run your zeal down and with many distractions. Every church has a structured system for spiritual growth. Join a house fellowship or cell . Be accountable. Thats a safe ground to start. Be under a pastoral authority.

Hebrews 13:17
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

The rest is your own personal relationship with the lord. This has to do with your personal communion fellowship with God in prayer always . Daily devotional , study of the Bible. . If you do all these and you're committed in a church . You will never lack in zeal .

]2 Peter 1:8
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ..

Study the Bible daily and other Christian materials. And don't miss church services .

Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

1 Peter 2:2
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Lastly live to serve God . Share your faith with others . Im sure once you get involved with a local church you will naturally be on your way up in seevuce and leadership. Based on the church structure. If you’re not involved with a local church . You will be an island . The enemy goes for those who are straying behind from others

These outline from the book ABC of follow up helped me as a growing Christian.

A - ASSURANCE of salvation
B- BIBLE daily study
C- Communion Personal daily prayer
D- DEPENDANCE : Faith walk with God
E-
F- FELOWSHIP : Commitment in local chrc
G- Go ye" .. share your faith with others

I'm trying to remember what "E stand for

Wow !

Thank you sir

Kobojunkie:
Prayer does not solve problems... Obedience is the key to God's kingdom and to answers you seek.

Obedience?

Sir, please expatiate.

csn01:

Pray with worship songs. (you can play worship songs, empowering songs with your Bluetooth Speaker or Home theatre to keep you focus), pray with that powerful music, pray with psalms and tell the Lord of Host that which you need. There is Power from Above.

Duly noted sir, thanks.

Kobojunkie:
I suggest you first make sure you have a good understanding of what it is that God wants from you before you pledge. So many more out there who have no clue who God really is, what He really wants from them and what He says you must do. All they do is what their Pastors/Prophets/GOs etc. have said about God and nothing else. Many of these men have never themselves experienced God in truth, nor do they know God, even with all their popularity with the folks.

I suggest you do what Jesus Christ said you need to do in order to become worthy of being His follower first. Another suggestion is that you begin by reading through the Book of Matthew. Read it as many times as it may take for the message of the New Covenant to sink in. Become like a Child in your thinking, as Jesus Christ commanded as you learn of His other commandments and begin working on obeying them one at a time. God is sure to honor your obedience.

I'm greatful!
Thank you sir

You have the answer to your problem, it is already 3:00am before posting this, you should have be praying instead, say your prayer Now. And see how Great the Lord is. Great is thy Faithfulness. Happy Sunday.

I am averagely consistent in praying.

But then, I'll find myself doing what is not right in the sight of God.

Today I'll find myself doing what is right, tomorrow would be worst.

How do I tend to increase my overzealousness in serving God for a lifetime?

Please, how do I go about administering a longterm relationship with the Lord?

15 years ago,


We were having a good sleep in the middle of the night with our windows widely opened.

In not more than 15 minutes later, We heard sounds of feet trudging towards our window. The thieves arrived and began muttering some words, they projected a powerful beam of light towards the room in a bid to see the us.

Luckily, we scurried and hid ourselves in the other room for it was a two-room apartment.

The arm robbers sighted one of us and they knew that there were occupants in the room.

They speedily approached the door and demanded for it to be open. We kept mute...

In what seemed like a millisecond, they jointly stamped hard against the door as it flung widely open.

They walked in in their numbers, my dad rushed towards them and began begging.

Surprisingly, he offered them to sit and they gladly oblige. He then constructed a Powerful speech on the hardship of the country, telling them how it has not been easy even for us.

He also commended their efforts and blamed the government for not having its youths at heart.

The hot-headed men who were equipped with various deadly weapons soon became cool.

They sighted wisdom in what my dad said as they left without turning back.

The next morning, a man whom had just collected money for a land he sold was found butchered in his apartment. It was garthered that those armed robbers were responsible .

That was the first and last time I experienced armed robbery.

God is indeed wonderful

Lagos state have been topping the table on daily basis for some time now.

We know it's a plot aimed at repealing reopening of schools

Well son, you don't have to be a genius to have First-class in a Nigerian university, in fact, most products of First-class are not geniuses.
The most brilliant student in a class most times doesn't end up being the best student.
Going a bit further, it also depends on the department and what it entails, school and some other factors (such as underground runs).
But then, going by your moniker @OP, since you're an introvert raised to the power of 2 (introvert2), you should be able to lock yourself inside the four walls of your room, for hours in reading your books. That's one of the cheat codes to have a first class, and it works all the time, except your villagers are shadowing you on 4D screen.



You're almost very right but still, you don't have to be smart to have a First-class.
Having a first-class is more of hard work than intelligence or smartness.

Hard work in reading comes before any other thing. Intelligence and smartness are there to complement your hard work.
Reading and memorizing ability are prerequisites to scoring high in Nigeria.
No matter how smart you're, if you're too lazy in reading and memorizing, you'd be singing farewell to first class.
Ask medical students, no matter how brilliant you're, if you can't burry your head in your Keith Moore textbook for hours each day, just put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.
Reading and memorizing (a.k.a la cram la pour) is one of the pillars of having a good grade in a NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY.

This man speaks great truth.
