If you are a believer working neck-deep in the secular world, where beneath the suits and ties and million naira handbags, they lie and cheat, sleep around like valium, and do smoking and drinking, sniffing and needles.
Inasmuch as you don't carry your Bible around and wear a cross on your forehead, still be like Joseph. Like Daniel. Don't be afraid to draw the line and boldly flee when one beautiful evil wants you at all costs. Run and leave your salary in her hand. Or his.
Don't be afraid to be falsely accused and punished for your faith. In that prison where those who hate your gentle excellence and mock your fearless integrity have put you, the One who shut the mouth of lions will preserve you until His word has tried you.
Keep the faith, and you will be raised above those who are proud because they now swim in dirty dollars.
And brother, sister.....Never joke with your scriptures and your prayer time. When on a high-end workshop or photoshoot or exercise, you may go days without any real food....but make the time to feed your spirit. Duck into the restroom, not to bathe or brush your teeth, but to wash your soul from all the things you've seen and heard, and to brush your tongue with Zoe.
Stare in that mirror and remind yourself who you are. Look not only on Instagram pictures but into the perfect law of liberty. Remember Whose son, Whose daughter, you are. Get out that phone and read the word of God to yourself.
I am an unblinking light in the darkness
An unflinching fire in this coldness
Greater is the Daystar in me than the night king of this world.
And you may be flying around from state to state, nation to nation, or aboard and adrift on the open seas, or the ocean; but in that free weekend, that Sunday morning...Don't flop out on your bed like yesterday's waste. Go get encouraged while it is yet Today.
Never miss a free Sunday to worship and fellowship with God's people and hear the living word in His house
For with what you do, you may actually need more anointing at work in your personal life, than the pastor needs in his
So know that as you walk in obedience
God is with you not only when you are in your Jerusalem
But also in Egypt
And even in Babylon.
Rebuking kings for your sake, and saying
Touch not my anointed
And do my prophet no harm.
Therefore,
Keep speaking God's words
Keep prophesying
Keep generating Heaven where hell is
And turning the valleys of Baca into wellsprings
Keep your faith alive
Your joy overflowing
And your love walks
As long as you are in that world,
You are the light of it.
Trim your lamps
And oil them well
For you are not a survivor
You are more than a conqueror
Through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Therefore.....Arise
Shine!
