I want to bring something to your consciousness today. It’s something I’m learning in NCCF or should I tell it this way; it’s something we’ve all been learning.
I had not wanted to
come for the National Youth Service earlier this year because of course, I was
busy with a few things and I wasn’t prepared until word came from the Lord
through my mentor and her husband that I should go for the next batch and not
try to redeploy or do direct posting. I should let God do His thing. In
addition to what my mentor told me, I had previously had a revelation of what
service year was going to be for me.
I’m really glad I
didn’t tamper with it as advised. I came here to Delta State and I have a very
huge testimony to share but that’ll come much later. I have no idea why I
shared this but I guess someone needs it.
Anyways, to what I’ve
been learning recently, it’s that “you are not more spiritual while praying or
engaging in a spiritual exercise than you are while doing anything that seems
unspiritual.” As a new creature in Christ Jesus, born again and Spirit filled,
you are a Spiritual being and your Spirit is always in sync with God. He can
speak to you anytime, anywhere regardless of whether you’re praying, studying
the Bible or worshipping.
He is always speaking,
however the part we have to play is being conscious that we have His Spirit
living inside of us and He can speak to us anytime. I have a first-hand
experience.
Few days back, I was
playing the Candy crush game on my phone, and the voice I heard was almost
audible. What did I hear??
Thing is, I’ve been
indecisive on what exactly to do after my service year. I have a bucket list
but I didn’t succeed in drawing a scale of preference, I didn’t know which
would come first. That was what I heard. What exactly I was going to do after
service, and I got my scale of preference there and then. Guys, I was excited!
I didn’t know if it was because I finally knew what to do or because I actually
heard it while I was playing games on my phone.
The activity seems
unspiritual however, it didn’t mean I couldn’t hear God and it didn’t mean I
was no longer spiritual. That experience had me extremely conscious of my being
in touch with God. it made me more aware of the Spirit inside of me; the Spirit
of God!
My fellow travelers,
if you’re born again, you also have the Spirit of the Lord and He can speak to
you anytime. You don’t have to be praying before you can hear from the Lord. He
can speak to you even as you’re reading this.
We have a post on
hearing from God, just in case it’s alien to you, which is not normal for a
believer. Click here to read
I’m not a preacher,
else, I’d have preached on this topic but I want to believe you get the point.
