Around 6 months ago, I sat in one of the nursing rooms at Coptic Hospital holding my 2-day old niece๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Soo very beautiful, innocent, heavenly, flawless skin yet so tiny and fragile. I just stared at her as she slept, admiring the beautyโคโค….then the Holy Spirit told me something๐Ÿ˜Ž

He said, “when a person gets born again, (believes and confesses the Lordship of Christ- Romans 10:9-10), this is usually their state in the realm of the spirit. No matter their age, they’re just like a newborn.” Then He said, “That time you judge a new believer, this baby is the equivalent of the person you’re usually judging.” Then He asked me, “Do you think one can defend themselves at this age?” I said, “No.”๐Ÿ˜ญ Then He said, “When you hurt/condemn/judge these little ones (young believers), they are not able to defend themselves. In fact, the most they can do as a result of the condemnation, is throw tantrums (leave the church, cry, withdraw from people, live in fear, go back to the same habits/friends that they left, find comfort in all the wrong things/people). Then He said, “A child has a very teachable spirit. If you took some time and diligently but patiently teach a young believer, they’ll just learn. And if you just give them some time, you’ll reproduce yourself in them. They’ll become like you but that won’t happen if they’re just motivated by threats or condemnation.”โคโค

Then I asked, ” But Lord, how come some have refused to grow? He asked, “Would you start scolding/ beating up an 11-year-old just because they’ve not grown up to your expectations or rather how you expected them to grow?” I said, “No.” then He said, “Your concern as a loved one will be, why have they not grown? Is it the diet I give them? Are they eating a balanced diet? In this case, are they feeding on the Word? Who are they associating with? Are they part of a fellowship and under a Pastor, so that they can be spiritually nourished? My daughter, give my people time. It is not in your place to judge. Of course, a Pastor ought to be aware of the state of his flock but that has nothing to do with pointing fingers or condemnation. I am perfecting my church.” Then He added, “The fact that any person is condemning other people, is a revelation that they’re self-condemned. Because there’s now no condemnation in Christ Jesus!!” So we continued talking and He went on and on and on teaching me.

All this time, the room was full of people but I like to talk to Him, listen and learn anywhere, anytime๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Anyway, this conversation has dominated my mind and spirit in the last few weeks. And I would like to share my meditations with you.

Beloved, learn to enjoy each and every stage of your walk of faith. Never feel belittled in the midst of seemingly mature believers. Desire to grow and have more knowledge of the Word of God but let it not be a sad journey. Enjoy each and every step/stage.
When you get to understand that revelation for the first time, rejoice! Even if everyone else around you had already gotten it. I like those moments when my Pastor is teaching then he reads a common verse like 2 Corinthians 5:17 and for the first time, my understanding is so enlightened that I get it 100% for the first time yet Pastor has been repeatedly teaching it for the last 4 years๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž. After service, I then meditate on it, till I get the rhema. I don’t ask, how come everyone else had gotten this, but me?? It’s none of my business. I just rejoice that I finally got it.

Think with me; if you were on tablets and you were taking say, 5 tablets a day. When you understand that Christ was crucified on the cross and bore all the grief, sicknesses and infirmities so that you enjoy divine health, go reduce it to 4 tablets. And when the pain comes, don’t say, I took 4 tablets and I almost died๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ. Noo! Say, “the devil is a liar. Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers them out of them all!! Eternal Life (Zoe) is at work in me!! And this life is the disease destroying life! I refuse to accommodate cancer in my body. I refuse in the name of Jesus! This body is the temple of the Holy Ghost!!! God and sickness cannot coexist in my body!! I am well! I am healed!! As Jesus is, so am I in this world!! I walk in perfect health!!”๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒโคโค

The following day/ week, take it to 3 tablets or 2 tablets…..start exercising your faith. It is a fight of faith but our victory is assured. And again don’t say, “when I took it to 3 tablets, I almost died!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆNoo!! Fight! Speak and make Word declarations concerning the situation!! Fight!! It’s a good fight of faith. Despite the pain, you might be feeling at that time, you’ve won! Because faith always works. And as you keep exercising your faith by speaking and declaring the Word of God, you’ll realize that you’re whole. You’ll start enjoying supernatural health. And the tablets will be of no use anymore. Then you’ll say, ” Wow! I’ve put the devil to flight!! Wow!”๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Meanwhile, another Christian at a higher level of faith might not need to take that long with the tablets but this shouldn’t make you feel bad. Desire to get to that point where you always walk in divine health; such that tablets and hospitals become history to you๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†It is possible!! Build up your faith. Feed on the Word of God until it becomes your ” common sense” and logic. At this level, only the Word of God will move you both to do and to will๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Today, go and ransack the Bible. Deliberately, decide to study the Word so that your thoughts and words are synchronized with Papa God’s. If it’s Ephesians, decide you’ll get the most out of it. The focus is not “speed” or how much you can read at that time. No. Allow the Holy Spirit to teach you and guide you into all truths. With 1 verse, you can be able to get direction for your job, career, family, business and friends ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅย In short, you’ll be walking in the perfect will of God 24/7. No mistakes allowed! Only the right choices. The Lord keeps you from falling.
And even if you didn’t listen to the counsel and guidance of the Holy Ghost, and made “a not very attractive choice,” the blood of Jesus cleanses you from your unrighteousness. Never glorify sin in your life by feeling condemned and dwelling on it. Get back up and keep walking in righteousness which has been imparted upon us by faith (Romans 3:22).

Lots of love,
Nexcellent.
