When I Used To Be Vibrant- Bolaji Ifeoluwa

My name is Bolaji Ifeoluwa O. I graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University in May 2016 and i was opportune to serve as the *sister's coordinator* of my fellowship (The Apostolic Church Student Fellowship of Nigeria). Serving God in that capacity twice opened up my mind to some essential routine requisite for consistent spiritual growth. All of which I still engage in till date.

To keep myself alligned with God, firstly I ensure I pray daily, mind you not necessarily a long hour prayer like 10/12hrs (*smiles*) but I make sure my heart is always conversing with Him with my thoughts, I do "funny things" like asking how He wants my day to go and other seemly things. Hope you aren't wondering if I get responses because I do.
Secondly, I read books and listen to messages which makes me stay focused and keeps me in check.

Lastly, reading write-ups from mentors- men I respect and trust the grace of God upon their lives. This gives more light into certain issues and less I forget, interceding for others whether I get promptings or not is my source of strength.

I am not good at attending conferences, seminars, talks but if you are, that's good, it will help you keep the fire burning also.

Before I drop my pen, continuous and consistent spiritual growth after campus may seem difficult because majority enjoy corporate anointing and fellowship with little or no personal encounters or altars burning for the Lord.

However dear one, you can do better, take a step at a time, engage yourself more in that spiritual activity you love best, I love singing although my voice is... but that helps me commune with God, words and thoughts drop through it. Also, you can get a friend you are sure of his/her stand to help, you both can fix dates to pray and read the word.

Don't wait until you need something or you are in trouble before you take a step. Ask him a question today and you will be surprised at the answer you get, *do it!*.
I hope this helps someone.

Thanks

This is great Ife ife (lol). Am happy to read about your love for the Lord! Continuous abiding in the Lord is very important (John 15v5). God help us to keep burning for Him in Jesus name, Amen.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty. It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Seven Years In Christ- Friends

After an official meeting with executives of tacsfonOAU When I resumed for the second year in college, I saw a result of the previous year and it was 39%. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was definitely not commensurate with my efforts. I wept quite bitterly and promised God that He wouldn't see me around any of His assignments again. I just joined a subgroup in my fellowship and I expected that my results will be better because of the several testimonies that I have heard from people. As I was weeping, God directed three friends to visit the spot where I was weeping. It was a miracle that I wouldn't forget. They consoled me and encouraged me to take a step of checking the result with the coordinator of the course. Eventually, my result was changed to 62%. This is one of the many times that the Lord has used brothers and sisters around me to stabilize me and keep me in line with His purpose. The role they have played in my last 7 years cannot be written in ...

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...
