Beware of snakes at your workplace,
Playing to bureaucracy.

the koko of the message be say?

This is my experience of almost being entrapped from about 2weeks back...

• To see the mannerisms, the devil uses to lead people back into addictions

•To confess my faults and recieve healing

I almost slipped;
Hebrews 3:13 � he (the devil) isolated me from people I really cared about.

It'll generally begin with strife, and quarrels over nothing (i sometimes don't even know what I did wrong)

I started hearing things like: [b]"leave this place"[b/] , [b]you don't understand, and can never understand"[b/] , [b]"you disgust me"[b/] , [b]"I don't ever want to see you again"[b/]
Hmmm...these things made me shrink further and further into solitude and isolation (I didn't want to trouble anybody)

I lost will and power to pray or intercede, my eyes began to dim spiritually and I started to cleave to the political world, business world, leaving my bible on the table dusty �

Brother, sister,
if in your fellowship, you can't find a big brother or sister to edify you or charge you OR no one is taking spirituality seriously PLEASE FIND ANOTHER, UNLESS you are already in the place of administration/leadership.

Confessing faults (like what I'm doing now) gives healing... So you keep your head high...

NEVER MIND YOUR BUSINESS WHEN YOU ARE IN CHURCH....
All of us are each other's businesses

Hebrews 3:12&13

I want you to know that this is a life-long war, because the devil knows now your weakness. But! By the grace of God, made available through Christ, this cross is made lighter.
I still get tempted in this area, but I thank God, His grace (divine assistance) is there to support me, when I say "NO" so that
I am not tempted more than my strength.

Keep yourself continually in the ways of abstinence and seriousness by:
1. Sharing your breakthrough : This involves pasting in all your social media pages; gospel messages, music, videos, links, sermons. This would break you from associations that would encourage sinful and lustful relationships.

2. Going out to share what God has done for you: Oh yes! I know, you must be thinking "wow!so soon?" "...it's just been 3 weeks" or "I am not a preacher", " I do not even know enough bible scriptures"
The reason behind this motive, is to let your world know that you are of the Father of Light, the righteous God.

3. Avoid covetousness, envy : These are one of the world's greatest killers of happiness, when you start to compare yourself amongst your peers without understanding that every man has his own time and assignment.

4. Keep your eyes on the Reckless love of our God: understand that God wants you, God needs you, He loves you than you...and He cherishes you. Talk to Him at the slightest decision you must make, before you sleep, when you wake, when you're tempted.

Ephesians 6 vs 15: your testimony of the gospel would keep you from backsliding

I love you,
Strength!

I stumbled upon this while idle as a child at a tender age.
Years after, I have cried and cried to God to stop it from me, to erase the feeling from my memory, change my spirit etc
Truth be told dear brother/sister, there are 2 things that must go hand in hand. They are:
1. Embracing the liquid Love of God totally

2. Exerting your willpower

If you fail to exert willpower, the power of God has nothing to cling to
[Remember Faith without works is dead]
If you try only willpower as well, Satan could easily break that by reminding you how weak you are, and hopeless you are!

Brother/sister, DETEST EVIL WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR HEART!
[Let them call you SU, or deeper life, don't mind them]
LOVE GOD TOTALLY, WITH ALL YOUR HEART, MIND AND AFFECTION.

Understand the tactics of satan, some are;
1. Making you feel worthless, useless, valueless (which would make you cringe back to your corner and concieve sin)

2. Making you think the very act is not bad, very healthy (like he did for eve in the garden of eden)

3. That it is not a sin

If you understand the weapons of the enemy, you can succeed in shielding yourself, when you are tempted

I cannot tell you how I stopped.
Different strokes for different folks
Christ unto certain blind men, He touched their eyes, to some He simply spake a word, to some He washed their eyes.
You see, I have given you the formula to follow!
[/color]Hints from me to you:
Understand that you are stopping FOREVER, and you'll continue to be tempted therein (Christ was not only tempted 3 times)

*DO NOT keep track on your calendar day by day (I have a date circled on my calendar, for the time I stopped. But I don't go to the calendar every morning to tick it)
This would give you the feeling (let's say after 60days) that you have tried and should reward yourself thereafter, DO NOT be tempted to do such.

*PRAY AND STUDY THE BIBLE DAILY

*PRAY AND STUDY THE BIBLE DAILY

You will discover that you were actually born to be a MIGHTY MAN in the kingdom of heaven, only that the devil corrupted your mind in the race.

*delete the SLIGHTEST hint of immorality on your phone, and stay clear of it.
If you allow just one Davido song on your phone, or one Olamide...you are nit serious and are doomed to fail in the long run.

*If people speak the slightest immorality (as jokes or whatever) around you, and you are there smiling or contributing, you are doomed to fail in the long run

*If you keep girlfriends/boyfriends hehe, you are doomed to fail in the long run
(You see I have a bunch of women around me, but I give these relationships boundaries)

*PRAY AND STUDY THE BIBLE DAILY

Professorcplus:

You just confuse us more. How do we know the right time? How do we know the right partners?

Dear Prof, 'if' you are born again - the holy spirit becomes attached to you immediately!
He leads your spirit into truth (not necessarily a voice now, although that is an available option)

So there is a 'green light' within you!

If you are not born again, you will have feelings at the wrong time, for the wrong person.
Christians don't follow feelings
There is a witness ( a yes-this-is-it ) within you.

""I would be lying to you, if I said that 'i don't feel lonely' " - Kathryn Kulman.

There are certain sacrifices that are demanded of us, even as we have been purchased (and hereby have the gift of salvation for eternity).

We as Christians (most esp. Singles) tend to seek, to fill our loneliness and incompletion by finding a partner (a temporary one for that matter, because a relationship based on this ground cannot last, as you only seek to satisfy your void selfishly)
But it is written in 1 cor 7:33: "...he/she that is married cares for the things of this world..”
Most times when we dwell (of which we we shouldn't) on these thoughts of loneliness, we begin to think on things that are after the flesh.

Our aim is the kingdom of heaven of which our eyes and hearts are fastened on.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I am not holier than you all, as I have been here myself
But by this knowledge which I share to you, I have overcome by faith.


When the time comes, we will know
When the right partner comes, we will know.
Because we are assured of an inward witness, that confirms a Divine arrangement within us (Rom 8:16)

Glory to God!

Herodutus:
would you mind sharing it here so that i can learn from your wealth of experience?

The excess and reckless love of God, to find you even after touching filth.

I once came back from church on a sunday night asking within myself why I felt distant from God, i instantly heard a voice within me saying "it's because of sin"
It was a mixed feeling (surprised and glad), why?
Because the Spirit of God knew my problem all along, He didn't condemn me, or 'fly out the window' as i've heard a preacher say.
He (the holy spirit) was there all along, and now He's giving me an instant answer.

To NOT FIGHT IT is the answer, yes!
To SURRENDER to the Love of God, and the working power of Christ is the answer brother.
When you fight to get out of a sinking sand you drown faster.

dguyindcorner:


Starting from today. If you can make just one resolution and that's no porn or masturbation. By end of March 2019 you're free!

Bro, it is a lifelong battle, as long as we are in this body.
(Luke 4:13, the devil departed Jesus...."for a season" after the first round, He was later tempted by the words of devil in mouth of peter, and even on the cross)
But the truth is, by the love, truth and Grace of God it gets amazingly easier...I am a testimony!

Herodutus:

finally someone can relate to my experience.
how can i tag the admins to push this stuff to first page, maybe i can get more insight...

My brother, is it not by chance that you have allowed evil to run its course freely within you.
I'm relatively new on NL, so i don't know if there's a private inbox for members...would have loved to talk more on something i discovered and has helped me so far.
Anticipate, Cheers!
