Religion / God Loves You — Never Feel Alone Or Dejected (pre-valentine's Day Love Reminder) by Lovelytony22(m): 3:38am On Jan 26, 2022
Sometimes it is hard for many Christians to believe that God loves them. If that is the case; why does He allow them to go through many challenges that might possibly lead to death? The finite mind can't comprehend this.

It feels like hearing an atheist ask why there are earthquakes, wars, and poachers illegally killing animals and lumberjacks depleting the forest hence causing harm to mother nature if there is a God.

It all boils out to what we call free wil and it's consequences that the Bible says "you reap what you sow..." Galatians 6: 7

Job also said the same thing:

"According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same" Job 4 : 8

If you treat mother nature with love —she will also treat you with one.

Now back to the main topic —God's love for His children. He showed us that love when He sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to die for us.

God being a good father wouldn't withhold anything good from us. We can't comprehend His wisdom; neither His ways. All, that a true Christian can do is to trust His ways.

God loves you, my dear. Have faith. Don't keep on contemplating if He loves you. Ask yourself first "Do I love God?"

If you truly love God —then do His will. Love is a noun but to see its significance —you must put it into action. The verb form is what proves true love. Like how Jesus chose to die for our sins, like how St. Valentine chose to suffer and die for those who needed marriage...

Do these things and stay calm:

1. Be obedient
2. Be faithful
3. Have patience
4. Trust him; and at the right time, you will understand all the 'whys' that run a marathon in your head. God is not a genie that fulfills people's wishes. He works at the right time. So pray that His goodwill must be done; not yours.

Love is reciprocal, so love God and your neighbor as well.

Love is a powerful thing and I will take this space to remind you that Valentine's Day is just around the corner.

Did you know the most popular hashtag online is love? Oh yes, #love is used in 2.1 billion posts.

Love is the answer to many of our problems. Do all the good things in love and you will reap abundant blessings from the Lord. Amen!

God Loves You,
Jesus Loves you.

And Yes, of course, I love you.

Religion / 10 Inspiring Bible Verses About Faith To Help You Stay Hopeful In God by Lovelytony22(m): 8:39am On Jun 11, 2021
Today I want to remind any Christian who finds himself reading this post that; faith in Christ Jesus is the foundation of our salvation, happiness, healing and restoration, and many rewards. I will share some inspiring Bible verses about faith with you in this post.

Now the question is; "do you have faith?" May you be steadfast in the Lord even if you are in the middle of the sea being tossed by heavy waves. Often, after Jesus Christ has performed miracles, he says "your faith has saved you."

If you have faith, you would never be afraid of the Devil or any affiliation. The Bible says in Isaiah 54:17 that no weapon formed against the children of God shall prosper. Are you not a true child of God?


God loves people who have genuine faith in him. Even if your faith is like a mustard seed and it's genuine, you would be able to move any mountain of obstruction from your life.

Faith Bible Verses For All Christians

Hebrews 11:6

6. "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls."
1 Peter 1:8-9

7. "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
Matthew 21:22

8. "We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing."
2 Thessalonians 1:3

9. "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13

10. "He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Matthew 17:20

Truly, our afflictions are many. Many of us are going through painful situations such as financial constraints, marriage problems, health issues, death anxiety, joblessness, and many others.

Never think you are alone in your struggle for peace, relief, and happiness. The only difference you can make is to take the right steps. Man is not your reliable source. A man can disappoint you. So if you call yourself a Christian, then draw near to God. You should understand how God loves you and want you to break free from shame and any scheme of the Devil.

You may even be surprised to see that there are several Bible verses for business growth. The word of God covers everything about all facets of life. So it is reliable for a happy life.

Never think of easing your problems with alcohol, hard drugs, or running away from them. Don't be afraid. God delights in your happiness. There are many happiness Bible verses and many others to encourage you.

God knows that hard times will come, but he will never abandon you. The Bible has the best encouragement for you today. In faith, read them and your soul will be comforted.

2. "All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast. Better is little, with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure with trouble" (Proverbs 15:15 - 16).

Religion / Why Christians Are Warned To 'eat' Prayers Like Food by Lovelytony22(m): 11:04am On May 14, 2021
Why would anyone call himself a Christian and live a prayerless life? It's not a fashion show that anyone takes interest in for recognition. There is a fearsome war going on in the lives of every individual you see out there.

What is this war about? I will talk about it in the latter part so stay calm. At this point, let me remind you that you have been warned to pray at all times.

Unfortunately, many so-called Christians will wake up from bed thinking about what kind of food to eat, how to go about their daily routines without a single prayer — not even "Thank you, God." In the night too these professed Christians will go to bed feeling exhausted and sleep like a rocks.

Is this a Christian life? Then when the Devil succeeds in plunging you into troubles then you begin searching for Pastors and Prophets. Were you not warned?

"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of this darkness, and the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand" (Ephesians 6:12 - 13).

Now, I believe I have your attention. Let me, therefore, remind you that you are a dual creature with flesh and spirit. And as a matter of fact, there are two worlds that we are living in.

Your flesh for the physical world and your spirit for your spiritual world. The spirit is stronger than the flesh so a Christian must always build up himself well in the spirit. How? Through:

1. Prayers
2. Fasting
3. Regular Bible study
4. Meditation
5. Obedience to God(Stay away from sin)

While others think of building their physical body and increasing their material wealth at the expense of their spirits — you as a child of God must do the opposite.

Now, back to the spiritual warfare, I skipped in the early paragraphs; there is an ongoing war in the spiritual world that affects you. Satan and his agents like witches and wizards are always conspiring to destroy your life, marriage, job, business, relationships etc.

Witchcraft is very common in our African communities. In order to triumph over them, you must win the spiritual battle they engage you in.

So why don't you pray at all times to destroy their demonic schemes? Your exhortation for spiritual warfare comes from the Bible.

"With all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:18).

Prayer is one of the powerful weapons God has given us to use in fighting our
adversary.Pray for good health, healthy marriage, protection, good jobs, wisdom, financial breakthrough, healing, faith, and any good thing you want the Lord to do for you.

He(Jesus) said:

"And whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:13 - 14).

The Payment Of A Prayerless Life

The moment you live without prayers, youu open portals for the Devil to have access to all the good things in your life. And you know him already. He is a thief, he came to steal, destroy and kill(John 10:10).

Jesus warned us to be prayerful so that we don't become pathetic preys for the Devil. He is roaring like a lion seeking whom he may devour.

"Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41).

Yes! You will fall into temptation if you don't pray on regular basis. You would become too light for the Devil to blow you away like dust.

What Prayers Do For You

There is power in the tongue. So speak to God and believe in your heart and it shall happen!

For an effective prayer, you must stay away from SIN! Now, pray and invoke the Spirit of God.

Prayers broke the chains from the hands of Peter.

Prayers can do the unimaginable; It flexes the mighty arms of God in your life.

Prayers send a pleasing invitation for the Lord's angels to descend and protect you from harm.

"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone" (Psalms 91:11 - 12).

Say This Prayer

Dear Lord, thank You that You are with me throughout each and every day and night, and thank You that you never leave me nor forsake me. Lord, You know my work situation, that there are hidden dangers and various health and safety issues, that require me to be very vigilant, and I ask that You would keep and protect me (and all those with whom I work), from any and all unforeseen dangers accident or emergencies.

Thank You Lord that You have promised to be my protection and, shield. Thank You that You are before me and behind me, to inspire and to guide. Thank You that You are my God and I am Your child and may the light of Your face shine on me and enfold me today in all the duties I am required to do. May the light of Your presence shine on me, and thank You for the assurance that there is nothing that is beyond Your notice and abilities and that I am kept by Your mighty power. Thank You in Jesus name,

Amen.

I do recommend my fellow Christians to use the power given to them over evil forces(1 John 4:4) at all times. You must be reading inspirational Bible verses and other Christian inspirational messages to boost your faith in Christ Jesus.

It takes faith to move any Mountain of obstruction in your life. Thank you for reading through. I'm already on my way for prayers, meditation, and Bible study. Stay blessed!
