My life was not Complete without fellowship, I missed fellowship only a few times which may not be up to 5 times during my entire stay in school. Most days, when I returned home, there was so much burden to press on in prayer, the sermon geared. It was there I saw raw manifestations of the Holy Spirit, where men are slain under the Holy Ghost. God had invested so much in me.
The fellowship had about 13 central executives, by God's grace, I was the Drama coordinator. The 13 of us had retreats every beginning of a semester, we fasted and had executive meetings on Wednesday, we also wake up early to pray together in the early hours of the day on sunday mornings. I can't go into details of how I was built by these things. One thing our president emphasized the need for an active and functional personal altar. I never joked with it. If there is one thing that God has used to preserve me, it is that quiet time alone with him.
I graduated in 2014/2015 and served in Jos, the national headquarters of NCCF as a State transitional Drama director for Plateau state. So many activities were lined up to keep everyone on fire. For those who were obedient, they are reaping the fruit.
I am not an executive today but God has and is still keeping me. This is what I do to maintain my relationship with God.
-Constant fellowship with Him on a daily basis, and obedience to the instructions I receive from there.
-Meditating on the word at the slightest opportunity.
-Consistency in church and adherence to what is preached.
-Listening to different but seasoned ministers of the gospel(Joshua selman, Rev. Areogun, Myles Munroe, Sam Adeyemi, Bishop David Oyedepo, Pst. Okonkwo, Fela Durotoye and more) virtually every day.
-I listen to gospel music only . I rarely go on a day with out it.
-I keep the right company. Anyone who can draw me back is not given any substantial portion of my time and attention.
Here is my advice to others, don't compromise your values, every time you begin to feel vulnerable, talk to a credible person, the most credible person is God. A few humans are credible too.
When ever you want to make a decision, if your circle of friends, pastor or mentor who share the same values with you do not agree with your decision, tread softly. A hot coal that stays with other hot coals and a fire that continues to be fuelled never goes out, learn from them. You will become the company you keep. If the company you keep does not look like your future, you are on a backward lane. If you don't fuel and feed what you want to be consistently in your life, it will die.
