A Frustrated Christian Brother!! by Saveme99: 5:34am On May 28, 2020
Dear people of God, Please bear with my long write up.
I thank God for the opportunity to open this thread, for my life, the body of Christ and all Children of God whom he will use to speak to me via this thread!
I am believer for 11 years now, I attend a living Church, a minister in the youth department of the church.
My life is in a standstill or rather in a retrogressive mode financially. I am 37 years, single brother, a graduate, but no employment, no money, no house. I am still living with my elder brother. Any business I lay my hand will crumble, I have never secured a good job since 2013 I left service, I worked as teacher in a private school in Lagos for 5 years but couldn't save any thing. I discovered that once I save up money, a mysterious power will just scatter it one way or the other. At a point I stopped saving.
I resigned from teaching and opted for many business but they all failed, Every night I dream of either when I am still in primary, secondary, university or NYSC. I just wake from one of such dreams where I was doing a menial job I did in 2007 to sponsor my University education.
Brethren, I have fasted, I have prayed, I have gone for deliverance severally. I have done three days dry fasting two times because of this problem.
Though I am giver, I don't receive favour, people in church believe I am a man of God.
I have so much failed in business that I am now afraid of attempting any new business. My elder brother (in whose house I stay, married with two kids) is almost tired of helping me. Currently I have no job, no money, no business yet I faithfully handle the Church finances.
At a point I will become so depressed and frustrated that I will begin to pray for death. If not for offending God and HELL fire, I would have commited suicide long ago.
My case is so messed up that men of God in the Church believe I should be the one praying for people!
God seemed silent in my matter, I am not motivated to fast or pray about my condition again!
I teach seminar in the Church teaching youths how to make money, full of wisdom, ideas, integrity yet financially miserable.
I just woke up from one my miserable dreams, created this new moniker to hide my popular identity on nairaland.
Note, I am already used to all manner of attacks in the dream! Cob-webs follow me everywhere, even sometimes in an open field or in a place where someone has passed before me.
What could be happening to me? I am trusting God to use a Spirit-filled brother/sister to speak to me.
Has any genuine believer passed through this experience before, please share with a brother

You are indeed a "genuine believer", but you seem to lack understanding. How you could find merit in emulating satan would befuddle me if I had not found that most Christians think believing is a good thing despite Jesus continuously railing against the believing Sadducees and Pharisees.

I can only hope that when your suffer reach the unbearable point you'd dump the believing and begin to understand instead and seek to know. After all, if you truly Love the Lord your God with all your beating heart and with all your living soul and with all your thinking and reasoning mind, you'd seek to know instead of believing and trembling, nay, suffering, like satan does.

I'm not as old as you are sir and I haven't experience everything you narrated there. You've really gone through a lot and I must commend your courage for standing up till now.
Re: A Frustrated Christian Brother!! by Mykel51(m): 6:15am On May 28, 2020
It is a spiritual problem. GOD stills hears prayers. He would come through for you sir.
Visit the nearest MFM after the lockdown is terminated. See the deliverance minister and explain to him/her.

Shalom.

You are close to heaven already, you don't need to be rich in life to make heaven. Clearly can't you see this world is not for you.
Remember what your master said about the poor and needy. Anybody wey no help you no go see heaven.
If you no like am convert to Islam then move to the north, your life will never remain the same again.

Maybe u are called to be a minister.Just like Jonah in the bible, I have heard similar stories of people not succeeding in virtually all that they lay their hands on until they face their divine call. And what about marriage? At 37 you are not getting younger. Maybe ur destiny lies with ur future wife. Maybe u need a life partner to handle ur finances.

I would rather die in poverty than denounce my Saviour Jesus Christ for what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the world and lose his soul at last? I am not here for mockers neither am I going to take counsel from people who are in error or challenge the truth of God's Word. I know a real Spirit-filled believers when I see one, and I will only take counsel from such. Thank you all the same

You have indeed gone through a lot. I haven't experienced this much but I can say that I have had a fair share of life. You have prayed and fasted and it appears like nothing has changed but have faith that change is gradually taking place because faith is like wifi, it is invisible but it has the power to connect us to what we need. When you wake from such dreams, with your mouth confess and declare that you have left that stage and you are moving on. Speak positive, speak your victory because Christ has already given us victory. You have prayed and fasted; by faith, begin to DECLARE! Speak the things you want and thank God for them. It might look foolish but believe me it works. It has worked for me.

The lord said "the thought i have for is of good and not of evil, and to give you an expected end!

Look at the case of job, Job was a very devoted man, he love God so much, he trust in God!
Put let me tell you something, satan took permission from God to ruin his life, so that he<JOB> WILL BE DISCOURAGED!
...but look job didnt cause God!
It was not the plan of God towards Job, but of the devil..
But lastly Job was blessed, promoted, favoured in double fold..

Sir permitte me to tell you, their is a hole in your life that the devil is penetrating from, coming in!
You need to ask God to search you& wash you and make you whole

finally live a righteous life & a holy life

Dont BE DISCOURAGED!

Hello brother, I'll like to ask you questions.
1. Do you hear from God
2. Do you receive revelation from God
3. How do God communicate with you.?

Isaiah 59:1 He's never far from us.
First thing first, you need to understand what your purpose in life is, you should ask that from God and make sure you get a clean cut answer. Forget about I did this and that in church, if that's not your purpose then you are just wasting time.

As for the cobwebs, eating in dreams, etc do you have sex in dreams too? If not, it's still a play thing, however use the power in psalms and midnight prayer against that, you might need to clean and rearrange your bed position, very necessary.

God bless you for this advice. Finding your divine purpose in life is strongly tied to your relationship with God, not your activities or positions in church. My brother, you need to refocus your life from religion to a real, healthy and personal relationship with God. When you've gotten used to hearing from God regularly, even in the smallest needs and guidance, only then will you be able to get a clear cut direction to destiny God has prepared for you. That's when you can truly find fulfillment in life; it doesn't have to be in so much wealth and health but peace is always assured if you're genuinely in Christ.

Your problem is you think your problem is spiritual,your mind has been made to think some higher power are holding you back. That's why you are loosing,you have been defeated in your mind.
First,you must free your mind from the imaginary bondage you put it. Your dreams are a replay of your past experiences.
Your situation is as a result of Nigeria's economy and lack of opportunities. If you meet the right person today your story will change. You need a job. When you are gainfully employed and doing ok,all those rubbish dreams will stop.
The worst years of my life was the time I prayed most and was very active in church. Until I realized that God is good,even to non Christians. He doesn't need my prayers or church activities to bless me,now I pray less thank God more and rarely go to church. And my life is better than ever.

Brother, thank God for knowing this on time. God is still able to turn things around, since you are a believer already.

I will advise you use the below link to encounter the God of Elijah without paying a dine or visiting the man of God (Servant Victor David). There are some old members here on nairaland who had encounter the God of Elijah through Servant Victor David. The fact that you are a believer makes your case an easy one.

Use the link below and you will thank me later. https://www.nairaland.com/4746122/online-deliverance-dreams-interpretation-god

My brother, the only solution is to surrender completely to Jesus, not about more church things: I mean surrender your "entire" L-I-F-E to Him.

Let him decide everything, then you have nothing to lose: but you'll have God's will on Earth and in Heaven too.

One disadvantage of posting this here is that you're sure to get at least some junk.

Even many or some whose problems are to some extent or in a sense greater than yours will like to exercise their "talent" as a motivational speaker.

Remember Job's case, he needed God not deliverance. God allowed those things to humble him further, and he became better person in the end, especially spiritually:

James 1:2 KJV
My brethren, count it all JOY when ye fall into divers temptations;

James 1:3-4 KJV
Knowing this , that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

[4] But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Matthew 6:33 KJV
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

James 4:7 KJV
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

May Jesus Bless You.

That is a clear sign of the spirit of delay that sits upon men's destinies.

Download and Listen to the Mystery of Deliverance one to four by Apostle Joshua Selman.

Where in the Bible is the spirit of delay mentioned? How and why is this spirit able to counter the power of God Himself supposedly living inside of a person who is born again?
Re: A Frustrated Christian Brother!! by boldx(m): 4:32am On May 29, 2020
Young man,

I beg you in the name of God, do not rely on dreams as a child of God. Such reliance can mess up your life. Yes, dreams can sometimes be true but the Bible should be your main focus. We have a more sure word of prophesy.

You may need to change your church. I don't believe that seeing cobwebs in one's house is a sign of spiritual lockdown or whatever you call it. Cobwebs are made by spiders and that is all. Remove them when you see them in your house. Did you see Jesus removing cobwebs in his ministry?

Dreaming about your past in school or so could be a sign of frustration. You have enjoyed those good old days and for now the good old days seem to have passed away. Dare to dream again about your gifts, talent and passion.

It is good to spend extra time in church no doubt. The way you are going, are you called to full time ministry.If not, go and look for a sales job in a shop or something that can keep your mind busy. You need to read the book of Proverbs again and again.

You left your teaching job for nothing. Do you know that some teachers have built houses and bought cars with what you have despised. Do you have additional certifications that will make you more marketable in teaching.

Please read through my post again and again.

God bless you.
