In the past years, my addiction has constantly been my greatest setback. I have dropped from a well grounded believer and person to an impractical one. Although trusting God has been my most hope to get this over with, but, I need to work it out (Faith without works). Addicts' Corner is a podcast for addicts or addiction counsellors. It's basically a community created for Addicts. We consider addiction a big deal and how hard it is for people. So, don't be ashamed if you're an addict to something or anything. You and me will end this charade with God's help.
Welcome to this week's episode. Listen and be edified by God.
In the last two weeks, Addicts' Corner has been on hold without prior notice. All reasons for this has been duly explained on this week's episode. I trust you'd be blessed. While listening, have this scripture in your mind, Proverbs 24:10 - If you faint in the day adversity, then your strength is little.
I am redeemed! You're not Guilty! That's God's verdict.
When Portiphar's wife went to meet Joseph and he fled, don't think he did not admire her o. Ah! Yes, that part was summarized. Do you know how many signals and thoughts that would have fellowshipped with him. However, he fled. He fled because he knew better. Knowledge gives you wisdom, sight and understanding to flee. To run fast from thoughts. By running you combat them and send them packing. Thoughts fly from the songs we sing, from the conversations we have, from the selfish prayers we pray, and atmosphere we expose are hearts to. Life and peace would only rest for a person whose heart is stayed on God. The question is what is life and peace to you. While many think life and peace has more to do with abundance and prosperity, without disputing that things matter, however, they are not Life and Peace. Check you heart and what you think about. And how those thoughts have transcend into negative actions toward friends, family, and colleagues. As a man thinks, so he is. Our thoughts is a state. A state that defines and orchestrates the functionality of other states.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Eze 36:26-27 NKJV
Welcome to this week's episode on Addicts' Corner. It is with great joy that I am welcoming you into the New Year again. It's a year of abundant life. Much surprises from the throne of grace would be ministered to us and our hearts need to be ready to embrace it. Our hearts need to be ready with joy and gladness like little children who thirst or hunger. Let's come with boldness and Yes! receive the great life filled with joy that would be distributed among us. This week's episode is to ready our hearts. I trust God to bless us richly in this season of surprises. Amen. #Shalom
Welcome to the Final Episode in Season Six. And we end the year with great joy and victory.
So, who is The Saved Man? The man loved, forgiven, graced and blessed by God. He is the man that sees a new life and values it. He is the man that holds the word of life as the best gift received. The greatest gift any man can ever receive is salvation. It not only gives liberty, it brings newness to you. It's an abundant life filled with righteousness, peace and joy. There's so much to say about the life given or exchanged to have the Saved Man. This life, however, is the Life of God. What a great life!
Welcome to this week's episode...Count down to a happy new year.
There's really no need for a description you know. Yeah but I'll right it still. On this week's episode we prayed. Not your usual podcast. So with sincere hearts, let's pray and fellowship.
In continuance to last week's episode let's dive in and grow.
The thing is the choice to Serve God is War. Trust me no place for argument. It's either you're in or out. Just as any warrior would need an armor, learning the principles of obtaining strength, basking in courage, exercising discipline and ultimately imbibing in faith is most crucial to them. Like Joyce Meyer once said, you can't serve God without courage. Lol. It's funny how she puts it: "If you want to go through with God, you better have some GUTS. You need to have courage, be determined and not be a Whipping, Whinny, White-Washed Christian" - 1Timothy 6:11. I'd like to call it the 3Ws Christian. ✌️ On this week's episode, we talked about sticking your guts on your priorities. An extensive conversation on invisible priorities, what they do to our major/visible priorities and how to manage them was discussed. Don't forget to click the link in the bio to listen Shalom.
Let me draw our attention to Proverbs 7:11. I anticipate a bit backlash, you know. Why? Personality questions might rise or the so called Zodiac Signs personality attribute questions might ensue. The Introverts, Extroverts and Ambiverts. The Sanguine, Choleric, Phlegmatic and Melancholic talk. Yeah yeah. I get it. Just because Science says you at this doesn't mean you cannot outgrow that identity. The bible said the woman was loud, boisterous and clamorous in contrast to the nature of the person led and built by God's word in the preceding verses. Notice that the preceding verses did not describe the person as calm, slow, cool, poise,or collected but definitely a person that lives according to scriptures written on the tablets of his/her heart. Verse 11, however, describes an individual carried away by exuberance and youthful flare. A person desired to eat till it's finished and done with. Someone willing to gather all and fly high
It is usually said that compared to learning, unlearning is most strenuous. Of course, one would have to abandon or relinquish the learned and fill the vacuum by learning something that contradicts. When the bible talked about renewal of the mind, one would immediately assume the change of our minds; the transformation of our thoughts or the transition of character as being easy. However, one step into the process of walking away from the old and having to abandon previous acts or habits seem rigorous to bare. Nobody said unlearning is easy but I've always heard that it's intentional. First, you start with unlearning little things like how you do something minor or irrelevant. Then gradually transcend to being that individual that's unlearning seamlessly. On this week's episode, we talked extensively about unlearning and the things we do in the dark. Listen and be blessed.
1 Cor 8:7 HCSB "However, not everyone has this knowledge. In fact, some have been so used to idolatry up until now that when they eat food offered to an idol, their conscience, being weak, is defiled". What is idolatry? The Oxford English dictionary defines the word as an excessive admiration of somebody or something. It also calls it the worship of idols. When we mention the word idols, our first thoughts go to hand made gods people bow down to but the world has evolved. People hardly make hand made wooden idols and bow down. As such, idols have become more inherent in the minds of men. Idols have become money, fame, popularity, power, influence, ambition, and lust. Idols have become more than craved wooden images that can easily be broken to engraved artifacts scripted into the hearts of mankind to deter his relationship with God. These newly formed idols are obviously not physically, hence, dropping them to worship another would require a higher authority. Since the birth of every man, the bible says we have been born with iniquity. Therefore, these idols are somewhat mixed with the nature of the old man until we are regenerated into the new man. Apparently, like any habit, these idols which have been accorded the honour of being a necessity, have been difficult to let go of. So, with these idols inherent in man, prevailing changes in the world are easily accepted. The abnormal becomes the normal and of course the wise becomes the foolish. Hmmmm. It is time to submit to God for the cleansing of our minds -Romans 12:1-2. It is time to STICK TO WHO GOD IS without waiver. It is time to build up our most holy faith beyond the physical because when it is time for these idols to revolt much higher, not even our strength can stand. Hence, our beckoning when it comes to seeking God should be to be changed. Transformed. Revived. Built. Ignited. That way we can stand the test of time when all the normals have become abnormal and the abnormals have become normal. Our clamour when we seek God should be to help us love relentless, learn the fruits of the Spirit, to be meek and lowly, and hate iniquity. On this week's episode, we talked about STICKING TO WHO GOD IS. It takes knowing God to stick to who he is. So it's a journey to knowing God. I trust that God will help us.
Last year, a very dear friend of mine started a journey to recovering from low self esteem and insecurity. She started by reading, enrolling for mentorship and praying tirelessly to grow. Then she grew to starting a community, ran a writing challenge and making audio works to express how she felt. So far, she has grown so much that I am highly impressed and privileged to be called her friend. Recently, she told about an event she was called to feature to help others. She struggled though and I told her that since she did it before, she could do it again. She chose to do it and I am very grateful that she @tolu has grown. For the record, I love you Tolu. Well, since she never showed any traces of someone with a low self esteem, when she told me I was very surprised. Amazingly, she said for several years she rejected it by saying she had high esteem until she began to notice the emotions rising from time to time. Then she told herself that it was time to let go of it. And by letting go, the first thing she did was to say to herself that Tolu you have low self esteem and you're insecure. Now, she transitioned successfully because she accepted that fact and became the Tolu that is growing from low esteem, helping others and advancing in her career. I admire her courage so much because it takes a lot to abandon a personality you painted for yourself to really embrace who you are and transition to a better version. When you accept and acknowledge Who You Are, transitioning to a better person becomes a minor thing. We struggle during transition because we never passed stage one of accepting and acknowledging the loopholes. This week's episode is about doing you and sticking to it. Jesus loves us and our identity in me is more than we can ever imagine. So far, it is the best life yet.

You know when Abraham started the path to attain righteousness (much more in God) ehn, I'm sure he did not know what will Sele. As per his son matter and 25yrs barrenness Ahahan. He was dealt with for LIFE. He chose to walk blamelessly before His God and acknowledge His words over his own ways. Some us will be doing some Abrahamic things
