It's not a fight of Weapons,
It's not a fight of Words,
It's not a fight of the Physical,
It is highly of the Spirit.
For we do not wrestle against
FLESH and BLOOD
We wrestle against
PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS,
RULERS OF DARKNESS in this world.
SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS in high places.
We fight the Good Fight that is of Faith.
For Faith comes by hearing;
Hearing by the Word of God.
The Spirit of God is like the wind being spontaneous.
That's a beauty of the Spirit that we have to reckon with. It is not most likely going to be according to our imaginations.
However regarding handling the things of the Spirit and desiring things of the Spirit we have to be intentional.
We need to realise that we are not wishful thinkers we are Faith beings. We are deliberate.
Sometimes we miss out on the promises of God and his provisions because we are always guessing that somehow God would figure out our needs.
This is wrong, if you desire growth, physical well being etc inform God specifically about it.
Be intentional!

Virginity With No Extra Oil.
My journey through life has brought me in contact with a couple of ladies. The good, the bad and the ugly.
A lot of ladies complain that guys walk away from them simply because they refused to give them sex, some are even tempted to give away their virginity just to keep the guys.
Let me be very blunt here. Virginity may not be the real reason the guys go away. Yes, no doubt, there are several guys who want sex, and if they don’t get it, they walk away. The problem may not be with the virginity or the sex.
The story of the Ten virgins in the Bible reveals that both the wise and foolish were both virgins, the other five were not refused from seeing the bridegroom because they were virgins or because they lost their virginity, but because they were foolish; they were called foolish because they had no EXTRA OIL.
Most ladies don’t have any EXTRA OIL to sustain any relationship. While many brag about their virginity, that is all they have to offer, they forget that virginity ends the night after the wedding, but EXTRA OIL is what will keep marriage going.
If a man ask a lady for sex and she says NO, the man can walk away if what he really wanted was sex and also if that is all he thinks the lady can offer him. A man may not come to a lady for sex, along the line he may be tempted to ask for sex, if the lady turns him down, the man may still
stay in the relationship if he sees other things that are valuable to him, but if he doesn’t, he may walk away.
Before you think guys are walking away because you are a virgin, look inwardly. Some ladies who brag about virginity are somewhat timid, some impolite, uncultured and aggressive. Why would a
guy stay with such a lady? Some ladies do not have manners, some do not have much upstairs, some are not social, some are dull, and maybe the best thing they have is their hips, nice backside, nice breast and nice lips, and so when
a guy comes because of all the physical shapes and wants sex, if he is turned down, he walks away because there is nothing else interesting about the lady.
Most men now are even scared of marrying such virgins. Their fears prompt them to want to test before they discus marriage because many ladies who got married as virgins have caused their husbands to be looking elsewhere because they are too naïve on bed. However, you don’t need to test to be sure she will be good, you can know a lady who will be good at home and bed by her decent conversation, by the level of
knowledge acquired, by her quest/zest/passion for knowledge and by God’s leading.
I know of many ladies who are still virgins, they have great relationships, they have many friends around them, you may not even know they are still virgins unless they tell you. Do not break your virginity because a guy wants to walk away, unless you don’t have anything else to offer in the
relationship. It is not all about virginity, work to build up virtue.
Virginity is good, but to your virginity, add knowledge, add EXTRA OIL….“And besides this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness, And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.” 2 Peter. 1:5-7.
Virginity or no virginity...,do you have any Extra oil to sustain a relationship?
Stained with blood.
Wood piercing skin.
Nail driving through.
Aargh! The nail drives through.
"I'm Thirsty".
Mum was crying.
John take care of mum.
Mum see your son.
The weather changed.
The Earth quaked.
Silence!
The curtain rent.
It is finished.
The power of God to heal is hinged on Jesus Christ.
By His stripes we are healed.
The prayer of faith will heal the sick.
Call the elders to anoint the sick.
Christ is the anointing.
We will no longer be slaves to sicknesses, infections, diseases.
We are Free.
God's love is OVERWHELMING. God's love envelopes you.
God cares about you a lot. He refuses to hate you.
He may be displeased with your actions but never would He stop loving you.
He couldn't hide it anymore, He sent his Son to express His love to you by dying for your sins to bring you back to God.
God is love and He loves you unconditionally, entirely and sufficiently.
No one else can ever love you like this.
Most persons that were mentioned in the Bible living by faith, pleasing God and righteous men had one thing in common.
The Birth of Jesus Christ.
Their purpose wasn't selfish or in wealth acquisition. It fitted into the coming of Jesus Christ.
As Christians today, our purpose should be in line with the extension of the Kingdom of God until Christ returns.
This world can't satisfy us. We can't satisfy ourselves. Only God can.
We need to set our life compasses focusing on God.
It profits nothing for us to have all the comfort and luxury then lose God.
