Good morning everyone.....

Who wants to talk about spiritual dryness today?

Yes you read well.... , spiritual dryness.
Looks like that's what many here are from suffering from.

Ok here we go:
Whoever believes in me, rivers of living water will flow from within them. (John 7:38)

To be dry is to be without moisture. To be dry is to be without water. It is to be lifeless.
Dryness is the absence of sweetness,the absence of what makes for sweetness.

The Word of God is the water of life. A lack of fellowship with the word of God, an uninteresting, dull, christian life causes dryness

But why is spiritual dryness so common among Children of God today, although we should be empowered by the life of the Holy Spirit within us?

The great evangelist D L Moody understood this. When asked why he placed so much emphasis upon being filled with the Holy Spirit, he wisely said, ‘Because I leak.’

How do recognise some of the signs? Feel free to add yours

You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.’ [/i]Psalm 63:1

[[i]i]- Too exhausted to connect with God
-We are no longer giving to others out of a sense of fullness. We feel empty or weary—our inner tank is running dry.
-Other things begin to crowd your time for God.
-We have lost our joy;It is no longer contagious.
-Wrong company.
-Negative Thinking,Disobedience, Depression, Discouragement; Everything now feels like a bitter pill.[/i]
[/i]

DOES EVERYBODY EXPERIENCE IT?

Well, yes!
Spiritual dryness can be experienced by anybody who is not watchful and determined to be on fire always.
In fact, anybody can experience it in different degrees and in varying intensities , and it’s an attack the enemy launches against every
believer with the ultimate aim of turning the person to his own kingdom. His primary purpose is to tempt us to doubt God and to serve him (and ourselves). As he did with Jesus in His wilderness experience, Satan will show us all kinds of things that will appear to be good, attractive and wonderful. Satan’s supreme goal is to get us to disobey God, to destroy our fellowship with God, and to steal our destiny & blessings.

[b]Sometimes, God also allows us to pass through "this wilderness." It is not always as a result of sin [/b]King David was no stranger to wilderness experiences (Ps 28:1-2; Ps 38:9-10). Even Job and Elijah, Isaiah too, Jeremiah....

We question everything we ever learned — How can a loving God allow this to happen to me? Have I been fooling myself all these years? Does God really exist? Why doesn’t He show Himself, and take some kind of action, and mount a rescue mission. It’s during the wilderness experience that God seems to disappear — He can neither be seen, heard or experienced… and our faith seems hollow and meaningless.

And the devil has a field day with us during that time . Yeah i know it's not funny, but i feel like laffing anyway....


David wrote a number of psalms that speak to the hearts of fellow believers when they are experiencing spiritual dryness. Spiritual dryness, or the wilderness experience, is God’s way of getting us to exercise our faith even when there is little feedback or affirmation or emotional joy. In the wilderness we are not being punished — we are being tested, and our faith is being strengthened.

So... how do we replenish ourselves spiritually during these uncomfortable moments?
Some suggestions (feel free to add yours)

1)How did Jesus defeat the enemy? First, He fully submitted to God and His will for His life… and second, He fully trusted the Word of God. The only weapon Jesus used was the Word (Mt 4: 1-11).

2)We speak the Word over our situations and circumstances, and affirm the truth over and over again, it will ultimately settle peacefully in our souls, thus renewing our confidence that everything is truly working for our good and for God’s glory (Rom 8:28-29; Phil 4:4-7; Heb 12:10-11).

3)When we experience God’s peace our enemy is completely dumbfounded; it silences him; he simply can’t understand how we can praise and worship God in the midst of trial and difficulty” (Job 1:8-22; 2:9-10; Jam 1:2-4). Why? God’s peace doesn’t make any sense to him because it transcends creature logic...

4) )Refuse to exchange the Truth of God for the Enemy's lies. This is called faith and it honours God. Yasss!

5) Keep your quiet time with the Lord alive[b].Guard it jealously. Make it as qualitative as possible.[/b] Love it. Get closer to God through
it.
6)Develop a strong reading culture.Read your Bible daily with great interest. Read Christian books that are sound in
doctrine.

7) Change your circle of friends, watch the right programs, listen to the right music

If the cause is sin, make up your mind to come out of it,repent, pray fervently about it, fast if necessary. Pray for a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit upon your life.

If there is no improvement still, seek counselling and prayers from fellow brethren who are grounded in the Word.

ENJOY YOUR FELLOWSHIP WITH THE LORD

abisola192:
Hello all, hope u all are having a wonderful time. I have been blessed by all the posts in this thread. May God continue to strengthen us.

It's sis na

warmachine:
.

Yes bro very true...and I wish you well too

huh??
bro?
lol, lol lol, you're making my day here

Good day fam. Long time, abi?

Let me share a few things i learnt in the past few months....

-Many badly want to wear the Prophet’s mantle (which is not a bad thing) , but are reluctant to bear the Christian’s cross.

Why? God takes MUCH time to mold, fashion, train, refine, purge, break down, build up, discipline and create His Vessels. This is a process that cannot be rushed. This is God's refinery many refuse to go through. I don't blame them though Let us not digress.
-Let Christ be your obsession, not the prophetic word. ALWAYS come to Him as a child, "not by your strength, nor by an army of strength, but by my spirit… "says Yahweh.
-Plus, your gifts are given to you in a moment’s time, but your fruit, your character, YOU, develops over many seasons of God’s dealings.

Therefore....
-Observe if you are fruitful in Spirit, bearing much fruit, abounding in love, joy, peace, faithfulness, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, meekness, and self-control. You can be sure that there are more gifted people in the world than you, yet the fruit is what will remain when the gifts pass away

With these words then, I commit you to the care of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is able to complete the work which He has begun in you and see you through to maturity, as you are rooted and grounded in Him, being thoroughly equipped and strengthened by His Might which works in those who have taken up the cross to find power in weakness.

Big hug to every one of you.

I see more and more of our peeps here copying and celebrating Halloween.
Do they have an idea of what it is all about and what it involves?
It goes way beyond wearing scary costumes...

Jdazzle:


Hanan what's so funny lol

JMG1:

Awesome.

chabod2015:
Happy Birthday Dazzle.

An amen to CharlyG1's b/day prayer for you.

BTW, where Hananhezron, seems a while heard from her...

Cheers everyone.

Right here....never left.... sometimes it's good to step back and take time to learn from others...

CharlyG1:


You're so on point Hanan. I mean, even pastors now carefully pick sermon topics just not to offend their church members who are top contributors to the church. They even make these top contributors pastors and deacons without God's directive.

It's sad and it's such a shame. But in the end, every man will answer to God.


God bless you Hanan

This is what the LORD says: "Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the ancient, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you protest, 'No, that's not the road we want!'[/i]Jeremiah 6:16

Chop and clean mouth tinz

Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow's plea come before them
[i]Isaiah 1:23

‘They are fat, they are sleek,
They also excel in deeds of wickedness;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the orphan, that they may prosper;
And they do not defend the rights of the poor.
Jeremiah 5:28

Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart run riot.Psalm 73:7

temi4fash:
Wonderful piece from Jdazzle and my wonderful CharlyG1

May God continue to increase us.

Some times i fear for the ministry poeple in our generation because rate of powerlessness and spiritual naivety in these generation of ours is so alarming.

I remember my G.O would always complain and complain of how powerless these generation is. And he would say the deliverance ministers of these generation would have a lot of work to do when the time comes.

A lot of us has refused to grow, a lot of us has refused to pay the price for power, even in the occult there are sacrifice and price people pay to get to advance level where they control things.

I would just continue to encourage us to take spiritual things serious, the truth is that in spiritual warfare ignorance is not excuse. i dont know is not permitted, you want to make something out of these life, you have to fight and fight well.

Remember the book of Job says the life of a man is of few days and many troubles.

In these my young life, I have seen things, heard things and begins to make me wonder. But i thank God for everything.

In these season, wheat we talk about grace, grace and grace. I believe in grace, we live by grace but grace can be frustrated, the amount of grace in the life of A is different from the life of B.

I wish us best of luck in these Journey and pray that at the end we would not only make it to heaven but we would fulfill, God mandate and agenda for our lives.

Do have a wonderful holiday.

My take on it:
We have grown to love the world;
We've become comfortable around sin; A LOT.
We do not rebuke these two enough and expose them for what they really are;

Even our church leaders are becoming[i] "shy"[/i] when it comes to this aspect

Why?
-fear of losing members with their "judgmental sermons?"
-Reduction of tithes and offerings, greed (yeah i said it)?
-Do they have their own skeletons in their cupboards?
-Fear of isolation?
-Dem don collect their own, chop clean mouth and now dance to the tunes of "the powers that be" ?

Why?

Na them know....

JESUS did not sugar-coat anything.[/b]Why do we?
He loved us enough to tell us things THE WAY THEY ARE;



Yes we have God's Grace, but it comes [b]after conviction of sin. Check the sinner's prayer of repentance "Lord Jesus, I admit that i am a sinner..."

But the way we take God's Grace for granted....what I call "Love gospel" ; come as you are, remain as you are, keep on doing as you please, after all, Jesus will always forgive you no matter what you do...Is it because He is Merciful and Forgiving that we have to be so disrespectful and take His Grace for granted

What Jesus demands is this:
1) REPENTANCE (that was the first word He uttered when He began to preach; REPENT!)
2)TOTAL SEPARATION[/b] (from sin, false teachings, from the world).
It is a heavy price to pay, mind you;

For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, Philippians 1:29

The verse above is the reality of every christian who DECIDES to follow Jesus to the core....
This is something that is now hardly preached nowadays....


[i]But obey God on these two aspects (repentance and separation) and see if you will not witness His Power...

To me, this is the true message of God's Love;
It is tough love, but true love!!! Love that does not play games or tell you stories; Love that loves you so much that it will not hesitate tell you the truth for the sake of your soul,even if you do not like it.

I AM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD NOT GO TO CHURCH;

We are to have a relationship [/b]with Jesus , [b]not a religion with Jesus. Religion has deceived mankind, but relationship with Jesus will save your soul if you repent and turn away from the wickedness in this world. May God have mercy on those that reject his words and follow the world with their false religion belief. Wake up people and don't let yourself be deceived by Satan and his fallen angels.

Hello everyone;

nnamdiosu:



Yes I do. I really enjoyed them. They were primarily revelations of a former catholic priest about the secret dealings in the Vatican . please do u have e copies of them do I can read on my phone?

Google Chick Publications, you'll read them online; Been reading the Alberto series since Friday.

temi4fash:


I cannot remember any of them oo.

Between where have you been?

How is the family and the kids?

I and my siblings are doing good.
wow.. thanx for asking, that's really nice of you

Just google Alberto Riviera comic book chick publications or Alberto series online. You will read an amazing testimony online; i promise you

Throwback time

Do any of you remember a series of comic books known as The Crusaders, by Chick publications?
There were published in the 80s but became widely known in secondary schools around the 90s. You may remember the following titles:

Alberto (Testimony of an ex-jesuit priest)
Double Cross
The Godfathers
The Prophet
The Force
The Four Horsemen
The Great Holocaust

At one point, these comic books were banned. Looks like they are nowhere to be found now....
Do any of you remember them?

P.S: Feels so good to be back.....

There is a common kind of christianity that abounds these days:

A christianity that does not want to openly expose and rebuke sin for what is it for fear of offending people;
A cheap type of christianity that requires no sacrifice,no carrying of one's cross.
Watered-down gospel is what we're talking about here.....


The Word of God warns you of the dangers ahead,
But you say "Do not Judge".
By the way "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."John 7:24

Christianity that will cost you nothing is worth nothing.
Shalom!

CharlyG1:


Good morning Hanan we dey kampe

Oh my goodness, challz, hi!

Good morning, everyone; How are you feeling today?

Good morning
passion4 christ and michaelangelo

comment ça va?

Jacksonville:
Good morning y'all . Peace be unto this thread, and may the Good LORD continue to keep us united in his love, strength and wisdom in this thread. Amen!

@brother Charlyg1, i never see ur break light oo.. No be so..

Hanan, analice, great0, muyis , oyeludef, Etidy,1smartkiddzy and temi4fash and all others, i greet you in the name of the LORD.

Please i had a dream in the realms of the spirit, which i strongly can't comprehend.

firstly, is it normal to hear words like someone speaking without you seeing the person...i mean there's no visual caption of the person but you keep hearing that voice in your state of sleep... I remember a certain time i slept and woke up, i heard someone speaking so when i luckily woke up..the last words i heard in my state of consciousness was Augustine.




Then i asked the Lord What does augustine have to do with me?. Then i was looking at my bible, i saw a flyer of our youth program and the guest minister was Augustine..then i had a conviction that the Lord wants me to listen to pastor augustine..2days later he came and ministered and i was indeed blessed.

Last night i heard twice ''thus saith the Lord'' and the person kept ministering what the Lord said...i heard everything but when i woke up, i didnt remember the message...But i luckily woke up in the middle of the scene and i grasped ''Thus saith the LORD''

Then i saw my self in the realms of the spirit, a man called Elijah..But i couldnt behold his face but they called him elijah.. So i kept following this Elijah and we got to a place so beautiful ..the rivers in that place seem bluish green and the skies were so beautiful.

Behold, a lamb so whitish and innocent appeared and it was staring at us, then it kept focusing on me while i was left speechless.

It seemed to communicate with elijah but i wasnt hearing any words.. Then i woke up and forgot my dream..later on i started to remember.

I slept again and saw my self praying for people...i prayed for a boy whose hand was strickened and stiffened by stroke and the hand became normal again.

I turned to a man and started prophesying to him.

I woke up and was left speechless.

Yes it has happened to me very often.... a very reassuring presence, but invisible; speaking to you, encouraging you,walking beside you, (you even hear footsteps), giving you direction, telling you not to be afraid, showing you Biblical scenarios....
yes it has happened,;

God bless you bro etidy

God bless you my brother!!!!

I thought i was alone on this one;
That's what i've been going through these last weeks; that's why i've not been posting anything.

I have been feeling so tired and heavy and weary.
And i don't even know why! it was not a if i was doing something tedious or stressful; Tired waking up, tired going to bed, feeling uninterested about anything, even prayer. it was a if something/someone was draining my strenghth gradually.
I thought maybe i didn't have fruits in a long time, but no amount of fruit salads helped.

I even felt how i was growing weak spiritually, but i couldn't just do anything about it. Too weak...felt too sick.
The last straw was when a few days ago i dreamt how someone was trying to force raw meat into my mouth. Yes raw meat.

That is when i woke and i just prayed "Lord, i am tired. Am i even too tired to speak to You. Help...i want to pray, but i can't. Just help me"

Just yesterday, at work, i just felt better and better and i feel real good and a little stronger and i didn't wake up exhausted; It's gradual.

But God has putting this in my heart though:
Holiness and the Fruits of the Spirit. Why? because, this is refining furnace many beleivers refuse to pass through, because it's hard, demanding and painful, but by their fruits you shall know them and without holiness we cannot see God, make no mistake about it. And it is the only way, you can acquire the character of Christ. After all, He left all his advantages and privileges in Heaven, He humbled Himself,came down to Earth, and

Though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered; Hebrews 5:8


Gifts of the Spirit are good, but do not also forget to preach the message of holiness, brethren.
Never lower your standards when it comes to this aspect because the Lord is big on it. Jesus is NOT coming for a defiled Bride.

If you warn them and they refuse to repent and keep on sinning, they will die in their sins....and their righteous deeds which they have done shall not be remembered Ezekiel 3:20

This equally applies to believers who fall into sin and remain there instead of changing their ways


Enough of the diluted messages, enough of taking God's Grace for granted with stuff like "once saved always saved". Big lie!!!

We are called to work on our salvation with fear and trembling. Yes, maintaining one's salvation is work!!! Hard work
Maybe i'll post more on this.

Have a nice day.
To anyone who ever said or thought a slightest word of prayer on my behalf:
HUGE HUGE THANK YOU. SENDING A 1 millionth fold to your side;
I am grateful

I don't take such gestures for granted, you know.....

LET ME SHARE A LITTLE EXPERIENCE
Over the course of the last few weeks I’ve been increasingly and stupidly too busy to take time to sit down with the word and pray fervently. Most times the excuses even looked good. If it’s not about my secular job of medicine, it’s about the cares of life on my mind: relationship palava, money matters, and career decisions. I mean very serious issues. Wake up early rush to work, do the work for 2, then get home around 8-9 very tired. Then came football season to steal the remaining little time and before I knew it, gradually fasting and prayer became a burden, studying the word became an issue. Because I had started taking of my eyes from JESUS to carnal matters. At the beginning I didn’t sense that demonic influences were in play. But as this weariness became worse and I started to see the void of not communing with the Holy Spirit regularly. The devil switched to step 2 “condemnation, guilt” this cloud was just around me. being a bit enlightened in spiritual matters, I could see the devil at work. It was now a full scale siege of the devil. But I played into his hands by trying to revive myself in the energy of the flesh, which I failed at leading to more self condemnation which further separated me from God. But for the first time in my life, I had a dream and saw Jesus and the dream made me understand what was happening and the kind of battle ahead. All the while Jesus was with me but he wanted me to learn.
I also got to understand that I (and I believe every person genuinely sold out to God) is a prime target of the devil. He can’t do anything to you but he’s always scheming, looking for any moment of laxity to catch you of guard and derail your spiritual connectivity, corrupt your mind and derail you from fulfilling purpose.
You have a purpose and the enemy is out to stop it. SIN AND CARNALITY is not a matter of whether it pleases God or not. It’s about CORRUPTING YOUR MIND AND MAKING YOU LOSE CONNECTIVITY, LEAVING YOU EXPOSED TO THE DEVIL’S OTHER ATTACKS AND CRASH OF DESTINY.
TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH, BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE AND PEACE (ROMANS 8;6)
YOU ARE A LIGHT OF THE WORLD SENT ON A SPECIFIC TASK TO DISLODGE A PARTICULAR KIND OF DARKNESS, IN A PARTICULAR FIELD OF ENDEAVOUR, IN A PARTICULAR PLACE. YOU ARE SALT SENT TO ADD VALUE. ONCE THE DEVIL CORRUPTS YOUR MIND , YOU ARE A GUNNER. YOU WILL BE TRAMPLED UPON BY PEOPLE.
PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS OF WHAT YOU EXPOSE YOUR MIND TO ESPECIALLY ON NAIRALAND (EVEN IN THIS GROUP). IF YOU ARE A BABY CHRISTIAN I WILL ADVICE YOU EVEN STAY AWAY FROM IT ALL TOGETHER. THERE ARE DEEP SATANIC INFLUENCES HERE. PARTICULAR IN THIS RELIGON SECTION. Particularly even on Christian forums because that’s where it easier to spread poisonous doctrines by mixing truth with a little poison. Be warned. Don’t read everything you see , if you see something that your spirit man repels quickly stop it. BE CAUTIOUS , BE CAUTIOUS. THERE IS A MYSTERY ABOUT WORDS . PARTICULARLY SPIRITUAL WORDS. THE PRIMARY MODE THE SPIRIT REALM INFLUENCES THE PHYSICAL ARE WORDS. THAT’S WHY JESUS SAID “THESE WORDS I SPEAK TO YOU ARE SPIRITS AND LIFE” THE SAME PRINCIPLE OPERATES WITH THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS , THEIR WORDS ARE SPIRITS AND DEATH. THIS IS HOW THEY RECUIT PEOPLE HERE WITH ALL THESE SATANISM, MYSTISM AND ATHEISM. ONCE PEOPLE WITH WEAK OR DEAD SPIRIT READ IT, THEY EASILY CORRUPT THEIR MIND AND DRAW THEM FROM CHRISTIANITY.
I WILL SHARE AN ENCOUNTER I HAD CONCERNING THIS LATER.
THIS IS JUST TO WARN YOU, BE SOBER, BE ON FIRE ALL THE TIME, BE SOBER. IF YOU SENSE ANY LITTLE LAXITY QUICKLY NAB IT.

FORGET ABOUT THAT FINANCIAL ISSUE, THAT RELATIONSHIP ISSUE, THAT HEALTH PROBLEM, THAT BARRENNES PROBLEM, THAT CAREER MATTER, THAT CHALLENGE, PUT ALL THOSE CARES OF LIFE ASIDE, THEY ARE JUST DISTRACTIONS SENT TO DO THREE THINGS, KILL YOUR SPIRITUAL CONNECTIVITY TO GOD, CORRUPT YOUR MIND AND STOP YOU FROM FULFILLING PURPOSE.
THOSE CHALLENGES ARE SERIOUS MATTERS, BUT CONTINUE SEEKING JESUS FIRST AND HIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE. THIS IS WERE THE REAL BATTLE IS , OTHER SO CALLED SPIRITUAL, SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL CHALLENGES ARE DISTRACTIONS, CLING TO JESUS AND YOUR PURPOSE FOR YOUR DEAR LIFE, FIGHT HARD TO STUDY, TO PRAY, TO FAST. FIGHT THE FIGHT OF FAITH. FIGHT, FIGHT, BE VIGILANT. FIGHT FOR SANCTIFICATION, IT’S A WAR, FIGHT EVERY FORCES OF DEFILEMENT,
IF YOU STAY UNDEFILED, YOU WILL EVENTUALLY OVERCOME THOSE CHALLENGES. ENDURE HARDNESS AS A SOLDIER OF CHRIST (2 TIMOTHY 1;3), ENDURE IT, YOU ARE NOT LIKE OTHERS, YOU CARRY SOMETHING PRECIOUS CALLED PURPOSE. THE CROWN WHICH IS THE PRIZE FOR YOUR OWN HIGH CALLING IN CHRIST JESUS IS AHEAD, FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN IT.
FLEE FROM THE CORRUPTION, I KNOW IT’S HARD BUT CRY FOR MERCY AND GRACE (HEBREW 4;16) .
BE VIGILANT, BE SOBER AND FIGHT FOR YOUR PLACE IN CHRIST. YOU HAVE OVERCOME IN JESUS NAME .. AMEN

I am grateful

I don't take such things for granted, you know.....

I know it's coming, late but do not forget to show kindness to someone today...or tomorrow if you read this messsage the next day.

Good morning everyone and have a lovely day....

Guys, dreamers in the house, help me decode what is going on here;

Remember the post where i warned about danger coming from the north? page 166.

Hmmm, yesterday i dreamt i was in the midst of fulani-looking people who seemed very warm and welcoming. They welcomed me and even sat me down. Then, they mockingly asked me[i] " So, you think we will allow you people to come and celebrate Christmas here, in our place/land?" And they all started laughing.
[/i]

Scenarios then changed

I was standing in front of a red flag with star and moon symbols which i sensed was an Arab flag. it looked like a big curtain or a huge carpet; A picture of Erdogan (Turkish president) [/b]was beside that flag.[b]Vladimir Putin's (russian presido) picture too was beside Erdogan's picture. Dunno what Putin's picture was doing there. Alliance?

I went close that red curtain and touched it.

Immediately.... a HUGE CHAIN fell from the sky and crashed on the ground, shattered into pieces like glass, beside that flag. I was able to push the curtain and pass.

I saw many many Arab/Middle-Eastern flags, looking like huge, thick carpets. What was peculiar about these flags was that they looked like they were made of iron; yes, IRON CURTAINS/CARPETS.

IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PASS!
I pushed, pulled, dragged, the flags/curtains did not budge ; it was as if these flags had brass inside them.

I even woke up in the middle of the night, breathing heavily,even sweating slightly and i realized i was physically tired from too much pushing. I was pushing in the dream and i woke up tired ;

I tried to pray at night, the dozed off, one stern woke me up and asked me to pray
Prayed a little and fell asleep again, the same voice prompted me to pray;

Tried praying again and i fell asleep again; Mehn, i had a long day, i wanted to sleep!; same stern vice ordered me to get up; prayed small and it was time to get up to prepare for work.

But i'll do it though....for that voice to wake me up 3 times, it means it's urgent.

I know, like everyone else that there is some sort of unrest in Turkey especially after that attempted coup. I googled Turkish flag this morning and it was that red flag i saw in my dream.

Good afternoon, Blood-bought folks in the house;

I want to commend first of all our dear bros Charlie right here for making more efforts to be more present on this thread.

As for me, i'm just reading all the posts, soaking in precious lessons and equally learning from u guys; Of course, i don't know everything i also learn
May God keep His Mighty Hand of Favour upon y'all.

Chookym:
Welldone guys. Have really been blessed reading all the post

Can't wait to read your testimony
