They advised us all

Verses
Proverbs 31:3-4
Give not thy strength unto women,
nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine;
nor for princes strong drink:

Message
Many of us young folks, have at a point in our lives received advise from our parents or guardians on various topics pertaining to relationships, sex, drugs and probably every other social ill that destroyed the lives of their peers back in their day.

We listened to their wise words, and promised never to indulge in certain acts. However as we grew up, things changed. We began doing the very things we promised never to do. Some of us began living secret lives, and this led us to perceive our parents as the enemy. Some of us grew rebellious: a contrast to the kids our parents were advising a few years back.

So what happened? Why did we break the promises we made? What caused us to transform into the people we now "hate"?

Many of us look in the mirror once in a while and wish we were the innocent kids we used to be. We wish we never had an encounter with the devil. We dream about freedom, but it seems so far fetched.

We all have a conscience, and we all remembered the words of advise our parents or guardians gave us on the day we went contrary to them.

Why did we do it? Were we stupid? No! We were finally deceived after years of failed attempts to get us to fall.

With every failed attempt came fresh water to nourish that seed: a seed planted on the day our parents or guardians advised us. A seed that can only be nourished by one thing: hate.

Our parents or guardians cautioned us, but when we got into the world and started battling with hate, our only option was to get involved in the exact same things they cautioned us about.

We tried hard to quit, but with every attempt came more hate and this plunged us deeper into the abyss of hopelessness; far away from anyone who could or would ever show us love.

How about our parents and guardians you ask? Immediately we fell, and as we were filled with more hate, they saw us as either black sheep or bad boys or girls. They were disappointed in us and the love they had for us diminished; the only people we had left "hated" us or didn't love us as much as they did. That was the climax; that was when the seed he planted finally turned into a tree bearing it's own fruits.

It is at that stage that we begin to get other people involved in the "soul-wrecking" acts that our parents and guardians cautioned us about. That's when the evolution from innocent kids to I-feel-like-a-dirty-heartless-monster takes place.

[30] Power

Verses Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Matthew 6:24 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Message Our power as Children of God  comes from the Holy Ghost; the world on the other hand who don't have the Holy Ghost have Mammon as their power source. We as children of God, can't have the fullness of God or experience His ultimate power if we yearn for Mammon's power. We can't serve the two. Many people have lost their anointing because they begun to seek power from Mammon. I am sure you would agree with me that, without money the richest man or woman in this world will be nobody. He or she would just have been another smart kid (like many are) walkin...

[12] Whose house (Part one)

Verses Matthew 12:43-45 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. Message Going back to your old ways after you have been delivered, doesn't bring back the same devil only but seven; not two or four or maybe five, but seven wicked devils. The question is, what makes the house (your body) empty. The answer lies in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in you...

[2] The Lamb of God

Verse John 1:29 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Message Jesus didn't come to form a religion with a farrago of doctrines and beliefs, or to give people a chance to place denominational tags on themselves and others.  • He came and was sent  so we might have life - His life , Gods life, everlasting life. (John 10:10) • He came to free us from the bondage of sin; to give you and me power over our problems, issues, addictions, diseases and more. (1 John 3:5-6) • He came so you and I would be perfect without sin,  lacking nothing. (John 17:23) • He came so that you and I would become God's very own children with a heavenly inheritance.  (John 1:12) • He came because God loves you. (John 3:16) With him and through him you can throw your past away like it never existed and begin life on a fresh page. He came for you and me, and He will always be there for us; ...
