When you look at this emoji “ 🫂”what do you see?
Well believe or not for the longest time I thought it was a rabbit.
“Lord If he is not the one, let the relationship scatter.”
I’ve heard that this prayer gets answered very fast. 😂
Can you relate ? If you can I’ll like to hear your responses 😂🤭
Can I relate? Maybe Yes No I dunno but we what we move.
Believe it or not, that relationship even the devil wants it to scatter so if you’re throwing those words out there it can scatter and it won’t be for the reasons you think.
Sometime in 2021 and 2022. I read about Gideon. I particularly loved Gideon because God called him “A mighty man of Valour” for someone that didn’t have the best credentials God was really hyping him up and I loved to see it.
Thank you for reaching this far ❤️

“Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.””
Judges 6:14-15 NKJV

Now it gets interesting, after God told Gideon that he will use him in the defeat of the Midianites, he demanded for a sign
“So Gideon said to God, “If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said— look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said.””
Judges 6:36-37 NKJV

When I read it that time It felt like that was the missing link in my prayers. So I started putting out fleeces. I will say God if this is the direction you’re pointing me to let that and that be done or do that or let it scatter.
I didn’t know any better until someone taught me about it and I also read about it in Kenneth Hagins book. We’re under the new conevenant so we are led by the spirit. We shouldn’t be throwing fleeces.
This letter is not to teach you about hearing God or the leading of the spirit. I’m heading somewhere and hopefully when I get to my bus stop you would have understood where I’m going.
Now, the second example. This is even more recent. You know this verse
“God sets the solitary in families”
Psalms 68:6 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.68.6.NKJV
For the longest time I didn’t understand what it meant. It was a popular scripture and everyone used it for community but I never understood it the English was not Englishing in my head. Until one day someone explained it to me.
As a believer you were not created to do your Christian walk alone. You need guidance and you need training.
“Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.”
Hebrews 5:14 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/heb.5.14.NLT
To become mature you need to be trained. Training/discipleship is the means through which we become mature in the faith.
Are you plugged in your local church? Are you being discipled by someone? If you don’t have a discipler then you should pray to God for one.
There was a time in my life I met someone and he mentioned he wanted discipleship and I agreed to it. Two weeks down the line I realized I was the blind leading the blind. I had never been discipled so how was I going to teach this person.
What my letter is telling you today is that you need to get trained. You MUST be mature. So that you will stop going back to the basic things. Apostle Paul writes it succinctly
“So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God.”
Hebrews 6:1 NLT
It is my desire that you are grounded in your faith and that you get trained in the word of God. If you’re not being trained now or discipled, pray to God about it. Let him lead you to where you will get discipled and where you will get trained.
As always I’m rooting for you. ❤️
Thanks for this piece ❤️
