Something I wish people pay more attention to
My body cream is finished, I don’t have deodorant and body spray again, I need to get a new make-up kit, all these are few of the complains we make as humans!
I’m wondering, for how long are we going to worry too much about the body when there’s something else more important, something more precious, something that will live for eternity to care about.
You always care about how to keep your body refreshed, you’ve forgotten that there’s the spirit man that needs refreshment too.
The spirit man is dying!
The spirit man can’t even remember how it feels like to be refreshed anymore!
You can spend one hour sitting, just to apply make-up on the body, when last did you spend thirty minutes in the secret place of prayer?
You can’t miss a meal, you eat three-square meals a day but your soul hasn’t eaten for months now!
The only place where the spirit man can be refreshed is the secret place, the only food the spirit man eats is the word of God.
Why have we forgotten all of a sudden that these are the basic necessities for the soul in order for it to stay alive?
For how long are you going to afflict your soul with hunger? Can’t you see that he’s having kwarshiokwor already?
“When will you feed me again?” I can hear the whimpering voice of the soul.
“I can’t leave the house without applying make-up on my face”, Aunty Veronica would usually say, but she can leave the house without praying.
Oh, this generation has forgotten that within the natural body there’s a soul!
They are happy that their body is healthy, but unknown to them that their spirit is infected with COVID 19.
The cream Sister Muyiwa is using is N40,000, yet she doesn’t have a holy Bible of N2000 to feed the soul.
The spirit man is malnourished, the spirit man is longing to know what a balanced diet tastes like.
How come, people no more afflict their flesh to fast for one day?!
How did we get there?
Brother John, for how long are you going to subject your spirit man to hunger strike!
Can’t you at least give the spirit man a morsel of God’s word at least once in a day?
You bath the flesh everyday but your spirit man haven’t bathed since November 2019!
You use a good perfume on your body but your soul is smelling.
You are happy that you made it to 2021 but your spirit man is still in 2020’s lockdown.
Oh! How much can we boldly say we’ve invested on the soul?
How come we now only listen to the voice of the flesh?
“when will you listen to me again, please hear me out.” I can hear the whimpering voice of the spirit man!
Oh! If only this generation can pay more attention to the spirit man! If only this generation can remember that the flesh is just dust, and to dust it shall return! If only this generation can remember that this body is one day going to be eaten by worms!
Friend, after life, the only thing that matters is the soul. How will it be when you finally discover that you only invested on what doesn’t really matter?
Do you think a soul that is having corona virus will make Heaven? Of course not, an infected person will be kept on isolation center on that day.
A spirit that is dried can’t inherit heaven!
We need a generation that will pay more attention to the spirit man.
Finally, it all starts from you accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. Accept him today.
