💧The Christian Drip💧

Guys so it’s my birthday month🥳🥳 and personally I don’t think its a crime to spoil yourself, especially when it’s time to celebrate! Me, I love to spoil myself with clothes, when I can. So as it is my birthday month, I must grace myself with clothes. However, the more I spend time with the Lord, the more He makes me understand that it’s all about Him, even when it comes to pampering myself. So, I asked the Lord how I should pamper myself this birthday season and Him knowing that I spoil myself with “drip” ( in quotes because we all know the drip isn’t actual drip lol🥲), He has revealed to me in His Word some Christian drip. So I just wanted to share these with you so we’ll be slaying together spiritually😉( its not everyday essentials).

• A crown of beauty ( Isaiah 61:3)

A crown is given to someone who is to be honoured. A crown is given to someone who has some sort of authority and most of the time a crown is given to royalty. Beauty is synonymous to glorious and majestic. The Lord crowns us because we are His children and He is King therefore we are kings ( Revelation 1:6). Jesus, the One we behold and desire to be moulded into, is beautiful ( Isaiah 33:17) so as His people, He crowns us with this beauty, He adorns us with His majesty and allows us to partake in His glory.

• Bind love and faithfulness around your neck ( Proverbs 3:3-4)

In John 13:35 Jesus shows us clearly that love is what truly marks us Christians or deems as us followers of Christ. Jesus loves us so much; we can’t even wrap our heads around it and when this love becomes your very reality, when the love of God is all you ever think of, it pushes you into a place of absolute surrender and all you want to do is share that very love with all those around you. By binding love on your neck, God is saying let everyone see that you love them. When we wear a necklace, even if it is very slender and has no pendant, people from metres away will notice something shimmering on our neck. This should be the same with our love. Let the love of God in you pour out to all those you encounter. People must have conversations with you and not leave the same. Every word you utter to another human being must bring them life and light because you are a follower of the giver of life.

Apart from love, faithfulness is an essential trait that must be seen. We must be faithful to God and man. As said earlier, we are being transformed into the very image of our Lord Jesus Christ, so as faithfulness is an undeniable trait of the Lord ( 2 Timothy 2:13) , we must also adapt this character.

• Glory-garments ( Psalm 21:5 TPT, Psalm 29:2 TPT)

A garment covers the entire body. Our entire self should scream glory, not for ourselves, but His glory. The Lord is the one who dresses us and we put on these glory garments because He has called us to do so. We are well aware of the fact that when we go to glory, we shall put on white robes ( Revelation 7:9) but could it be possible that our transformation begins now on Earth as we wear these glory-garments? (food for thought)

Anyways, all I know is that, wearing this spiritual garment allows our lives to glorify the Lord and allows us to fulfil our calling because all we have been created to do is glorify Him.

The Lord is concerned about every detail of our lives and it’s beautiful.So let’s allow Him to have His say in every aspect of our lives. We want to dress for the Lord, clean for the Lord, do whatever we can to see Him get glory. I sincerely pray that these spiritual clothings/accessories would allow us to properly represent Jesus Christ to the lost and hopefully populate His kingdom. Remember we do everything we do for Him to be praised so even if it means putting on Christian drip, we would do it proudly!

Bye pretty people🤎!

vulnerability & transparecny

These words usually has a negative connotation but let’s look at them from a different angle today. Just a two minute read so keep your eyes glued here!

Vulnerability

This state has always been associated with weakness or fragility but maybe God sees something else. I haven’t been on this earth for a long time so I don’t know if its always been this way but people don’t like to be vulnerable, when necessary. We love to bottle up our feelings, neglect the emotions we feel inside and hate admitting our flaws. But there’s nothing wrong with accepting a flaw or pointing out a weakness because the Lord said in our weakness, His power is made perfect ( 2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

Vulnerability opens up so many doors in relationships, especially in our relationship with God. Let the Lord know your softest spot or weakest trait. Give Him room in your heart to work on the fruits that are not of the Spirit and allow Him to plant seeds that would bear good fruit. Be open with the Holy Spirit while simultaneously showing reverence to Him because He is still God. Allow Him to love you with His sweet words in Psalm 139. Be open.

Transparency

To be transparent simply means to be frank. For a relationship to thrive both parties always have to be honest. God cannot lie for He is not human ( Numbers 23:19). Thus, for our relationship with God to thrive we must be very honest and transparent with God.

Now someone will say “ hOW cAn I eVeN Lie To God?” 

My answer is: it’s not necessarily uttering a false statement but not being transparent about how you feel or what you think and such.

For instance, there are days when pride may settle in our hearts because of some external source of praise but being transparent with God allows us to tell Him our shortcoming and ask Him to uproot the pride.

We must let Him know everything , even though He already does, because it allows us to spend more time in fellowship with Him and ultimately draws us closer to Him.

( Check out Psalm 39 to see how transparent King David was with his shortcoming).

Two tips for the week

Be vulnerable with the Lord

Be transparent with the Lord

simple thoughts pt.2

He is His presence

I’ve been listening to Elevation and Maverick City's new album recently and each song hits differently.

I recently got an amazing revelation of what is to come in my life and knowing how far I’ve come, I couldn’t be more joyful that I’m able to hear from the Lord in divine ways.

*Last year by this time I could barely get myself out of bed and on the days I did, I would cry myself to sleep again.

*Last year by this time I could barely have a three course meal without feeling nauseous.

*Last year by this time I could barely imagine making it to the end of 2020

His grace is definitely sufficient because in my weakness the Lord portrayed His strength .

I believe that everything I have gone through has to be shared and everything that I’m yet to go through has to be shared because I would never wish for anyone to experience half of the spiritual warfares the Lord has pulled me out of.

Just know that the Lord wouldn’t put you through anything He knows you can’t endure because He’s not a wicked saviour

There’s a lot the Holy Ghost has been placing on my heart to share with His children; He has literally been bombarding me.

Firstly, there’s more to come. You and I have access to more in the spiritual realm, so allow Him to make your cup run over.

*Make room for an overflow

*Don’t have stagnant faith

*Don’t get comfortable with where you are with your relationship with the Lord

*Desire more

*Be intentional

*Make him “THE” priority not “A” priority

You have to understand that having a relationship with the Lord isn’t “A” blessing but it’s “THE” blessing

Don’t get used to the glimpse of Heaven, fight to have the tangibility of Heaven because it’s not too far

Information moves but revelation transforms

Know for yourself

Hear for yourself

See for yourself

Experience it for yourself

You should definitely listen to Old Church Basement(an album by Maverick City Music x Elevation Worship) you wouldn’t regret it!! :)
