Hey!!
How have you been all week?
I feel like it's been years since i last mailed you. Lol. That's
obviously because there is a lot going on in the world currently, and a
day has been feeling like a week. Hahaha. Do you agree?
Soo, the world is undeniably in a state of distress as a result of the
virus outbreak, everyone knows this already and the panic in the hearts
of men and women continues to rise as the cases of victims rise
alongside globally.
However, as Christians, we are always at an advantage in the face of everything we would ever face or go through.
I've personally been taking time to groan out to God in the place of
prayer & intercession asking that he intervenes and heals the
Nations. (By the way, Queen on Wings is going to be raising a
fifteen(15) minutes prayer unto the Lord for deliverance in the next 3
days, but I'll save this info for the announcement corner).
Its been a truly trying time and the hearts of the saints are fainting. I
believe that among many other things, the Lord allowed the world to go
on a "compulsory holiday" for a reason- He wants the hearts of his children drawn back to him!
For many years, the most frequent excuse that many of us have given God is the excuse of TIME. We don't have time.
We say "Lord, I'd love to spend time with you but i have a job that
demands so much of my time. Lord, I'd love to be more committed to
studying your word and spending time in worship, but i have to hustle
and feed my family. I have a business meeting, i have to travel, i have
kids..." and the list goes on. But now that the world is on a lock-down
mode, what is your excuse again?
Come back to the Father. The time is now. Spend time with Jesus. Set
yourself apart with fasting and ministering unto him. Love on him. You
are on a compulsory holiday now and you have come face to face with
Jesus. You have to confront all the different excuses you have been
giving him over the past years and make amends.
Now i don't know how long this lock-down situation would last, but i do hope that you would make the most out of it.
Sis, are you listening to me? This is super important.
If you've never read your New testament from start to finish, this is
your opportunity. If you haven't finished the Bible plan you started on
your bible app since last year, now is the time. If you've never been
able to sit and pray/worship without getting a call from work or a
business client, this is the time to sit still, no body is going to call
you!
Now you have the time to finish reading/writing that book, take that
online course you have been postponing, listen to that sermon that has
been on your phone
I just wish you would take this time as seriously as God desires for you
to. Use it to mend the broken relationship you have with him. Use it to
draw closer to his heart.
Don't waste this time being on social media all day and stalking every
celebrities post and arguing online and participating in unnecessary
online "challenges" that do not edify your spirit. Don't waste this time
away gisting or complaining about the government and the state of the
world all day.
Remember that the bible says we would give an account of EVERYTHING we do here on earth.
"So then everyone of us shall give account of himself to God."
Romans 14:12 (KJV)
Don't waste your time and your life doing that which profits NOTHING. Make the best use of your time.
In case you have wandered or strayed away from God, this is the time to
return back to him. Repent of your sins and welcome him back into your
life and begin a brand new beautiful spiritual journey with him.
What is happening all over the world are birth pangs that indicate that the end of the world is near.
"There will be violent earthquakes, and in various places famines
and deadly and devastating pestilences(plagues, epidemics); and there
will be terrible sights and great signs from heaven". Luke 21:11 (AMP)
The Bible already talked about what we are experiencing now, so it
should be no news to us, rather it should be a MESSAGE to us that Jesus
is coming back. Lets not get caught up with this world and forget the
most crucial thing we should be living for.
I don't know about you, but for me, the whole essence of the struggles
and challenges i face here on earth to live for God's glory is to be
able to spend forever with him in heaven. What an oh so amazing moment!
My prayer is that when Jesus returns he would not dawn on you like a
thief in the night. I pray that your heart will be ready to meet him
whenever he returns or calls you home in Jesus name, Amen.
This is the first time in the history of the world where the world is on a stand-still like this. Quite unbelievable.
Our world is so fast-paced and so noisy that i have found it so hard to believe that it could actually quiet down.
Now that it is quiet, take the initiative and begin to own your time. I
personally have been outlining my schedule everyday from when i rise in
the morning to when i go to bed at night, filling it with activities
that can trigger true, tangible growth. I hope that you would do the
same too.
In the midst of it all, here are 4 amazing keys to help you live wisely-
i) Spend tons of time with Jesus. Sis, you know i always gotta say this. lol. because it is soooo key!!
ii) Be spiritually alert. Pray, intercede, worship, and declare the word of God.
iii) Do NOT give in to fear. Fear is not of God. The enemy wants you to
feel powerless so that he can keep attacking your mind. Stand on the
word of God and resist him.
iv) Build you self up. This is such a great time for self improvement and personal development.
v) Remember to follow through with your health routine. (Not out of
fear, but wisdom and precaution). Wash, sanitize, clean, and stay safe.
Love you Sisters.
Abba loves you unconditionally.
Your Sister, Regina Uzoma.
