Building Walls....

I was reading my blog and was looking back on old post and i clicked on  the 29th of January 2023. Over three years ago

I can remember that day now. I wouldn't have if I hadn't had written about it. (Something just popped into my head. Two weeks ago Robert Harvey was saying about how Alison his wife came across some old pictures and she says she could remember that day, but Robert says she didn't until she came across the pictures)

If we hadn't have seen the pictures we might not have remembered that moment. Seeing the pictures brought that memory of that moment to the front of our minds.

That's why I like taking pictures and journaling about good things that's happened in my life, because then we are  reminded of it and we don't forget them.

So back to my story in the blog. There was a picture of a book someone gave me at church a lady called Marion. She sits right at the back of me. So I went to see if I had still had the book.

I opened it randomly at page 63 and something struck me , it says "BEYOND THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK". 

I wasn't sure what it meant so i started to go through the book and i found on 

page 21 "TRIUMPHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK"

page 18 " LIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK" .

It might be in other pages but i just stop there because i wanted to know about what "IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK" meant. So I googled for the meaning , and that is what I found

Living in the "middle" of a book often signifies a "mushy middle" or a "sagging middle"—a common, often dull, phase in storytelling where the initial excitement fades before the final resolution. It happens when the plot loses direction after the inciting incident because characters lack clear, evolving plans or stakes

But while i was searching google, this video came up called "The wall in the middle of the book by john Agee ."  And i started to laugh because why was all these things coming up about walls. Because even  the theme we are doing at Church is about Nehemiah " BUILDING WALLS".

So I went and lay down to meditate on all I have found and asked the Holy Spirit what was he trying to show me....

it wasn't till I seen the full video of the book that it made some sense. here is the full video

Learning from my sins helps with Character Building.

I gave into my desires last night. I've been doing good but I just could not resist the urge I had. I started feeling guilty and shame the usual stuff that goes when I sin. 

I put on my Abide Meditation to go to sleep. It was called "You've got character."

  May you always be filled with the threat of your salvation? The righteous character produced in your life by Jesus. For this will bring much glory and praise to God. Fill Philippines 1:11 

At 2:38 Tyler Boss mentioned Oswald Chambers.  I Have his book My UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  

So I stop the meditation becsuse I wanted to read the message for that day 14th of March.

And boy was I shocked. The title and scripture was Yielded : You are that one's slave whom you obey Roman 6:16. 

For example, yield for 1 second to anything in the nature of lust, and although you hate yourself for having yielded, you become enslave to that thing.

And that's exactly what I felt just before I read that, it's amazing how God highlights things in your life.I just love it here is the full reading ..

March 14 

Yielding 

“You are that one’s slaves whom you obey" Romans 6:16 

The first thing I must be willing to admit when I begin to examine what controls and dominates me is that I am the one responsible for having yielded myself to whatever it may be. If I am a slave to myself, I am to blame because somewhere in the past I yielded to myself. Likewise, if I obey God I do so because at some point in my life I yielded myself to Him. If a child gives in to selfishness, he will find it to be the most enslaving tyranny on earth. There is no power within the human soul itself that is capable of breaking the bondage of the nature created by yielding. 

For example, yield for one second to anything in the nature of lust, and although you may hate yourself for having yielded, you become enslaved to that thing. (Remember what lust is—“I must have it now,” whether it is the lust of the flesh or the lust of the mind.) 

No release or escape from it will ever come from any human power, but only through the power of redemption. You must yield yourself in utter humiliation to the only One who can break the dominating power in your life, namely, the Lord Jesus Christ.

 “He has anointed Me . . . to proclaim liberty to the captives” (Luke 4:18 and Isaiah 61:1). 

When you yield to something, you will soon realize the tremendous control it has over you. Even though you say, “Oh, I can give up that habit whenever I like,” you will know you can’t. You will find that the habit absolutely dominates you because you willingly yielded to it.

 It is easy to sing, “He will break every fetter,” while at the same time living a life of obvious slavery to yourself. But yielding to Jesus will break every kind of slavery in any person’s life.

Isaiah 29:13....And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.
