*CHECKING YOUR SPIRITUAL HEALTH METER* (I)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?* (2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
This is how I am/know when my ‘God-meter’ is low/on red:
1. I mindlessly lie and easily become manipulative.
2. I crave more worldly content (especially songs) than godly content.
3. I crave *a lot* of junk food; a very very very unhealthy amount.
4. I become very irritable and quick to get angry.
5. The days feel too long and the nights feel too short - I do not look forward to doing anything productive. There’s no inspiration to do anything productive.
6. When I sleep, my dreams make less and less sense.
7. I become careless with my thoughts, and allow them wander to sexual places.
We all have a ‘God-meter’, and when that meter starts to run on empty, we know. It’s different things for different people, but we can all tell the clear difference between when we’re *filled* with the Spirit and when we’re hanging on to the last strand of spiritual sensitivity we have left. We know.
It’s the way a typical Nigerian knows when they’re about to come down with malaria. For some, they have injuries or boils in/around their mouths and noses. For some others, like me, it starts with a sore throat. For yet some, it starts with pain around your joints. We all know.
*MEDITATION*
*How do you know your God-meter is running low? If you identify the signs, you should be able to deal with ensuring you don't run low.*

*KEEPING THE BODY BALANCED* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.* (John 3:36 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The wrath of God vs the love of God.
The wrath of God abides, (i.e. rests) on anyone who does not believe the Gospel. This is a scary truth that many fights against, especially those who do not believe. They always wonder *"how possible is it that God would sentence billions to hell or lake of fire or eternal death & destruction, simply because they do not believe Jesus or the Gospel?"* Well, they can wonder all they want, but God is not joking. The matter is sealed. Actually, people make their choice to go to hell, God only honours it. The only way out is actually for anyone who wants to be saved, to believe the gospel. There is no other way! (By the way, why would Jesus come to die if there was another way to salvation? 🤷ðŸ½â€â™‚ )
One of the ways to get a balance in the body of Christ is to understand and teach the doctrine of eternal condemnation of the unbelieving vis a vis God's great love, accessible by believing the Gospel. In effect, we can see two sides of God's personality (three actually): His love and His Love (& His Holiness); or His great mercy and His Consuming fire. God detests sin because He is a holy God. He would not just let sin slide. Judgment will follow in due course if there is no repentance.
Actually, His great love to redeem men from sin, is because He wants them to escape His wrath which is the punishment for sin. (Holiness demands that sin is punished)
For those who understand this, what must be our reaction? For Paul the Apostle, he embraced the preaching of the Gospel because he submits that the Gospel is the power of God to save. (Rom 1:16) But he didn't stop there. He also said that in the Gospel, God's righteousness is revealed (seen in the righteousness of Jesus who died for sins in order to save sinners) and also God's wrath is revealed (seen in his judgment against sin)! (Rom 1:17-18)
An understanding of the love and wrath of God, will push the believer to live and preach the Gospel more than ever before, while it will push the unbeliever to believe and accept the Gospel immediately.
*MEDITATION*
*For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.* (2 Corinthians 5:10-11 (KJV))

*ENFORCING THE KINGDOM OF GOD*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."* (Romans.14.17(KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
God is good and His mercy endures forever. He has a great plan for all His creation, especially man. God is still mindful of everyone here on earth. Psalms.8.4 (KJV), says *What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?*
He is still faithful to His word that He does not want anyone to perish but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9).
Indeed, the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. However, it appears that we see or find the opposite of this today. A lot of people are more subject to the devil than they are to God.
*This is must become our prayer today: "Oh Lord, let Your kingdom come!"*
There is work to be done. There is a provision to enforce the kingdom of God here on earth which also implies to set the world right. To enforce the kingdom of God here on earth can only be achieved through the power of God in you when you receive Him. John.1.12 (KJV) says *But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name*
Accepting Christ and having His power in you is not for enjoyment alone. It is to enforce His kingdom here on earth. He has given us power that is above every other power. The power of the Lord in you is to enforce the kingdom of God, exercise the power of God in you through studying and digging deep into His Word and applying it to your daily activities. This will foster the presence of God that you carry and this in turn will be a blessing to you and your generation.
Enforce the kingdom of God and let the devil be in trouble and confusion because you received Christ. Stand for holiness, righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run into Him and they are safe. When you take cover in JESUS he takes over your life, so you can take over your world- as you enforce His Kingdom!
MEDITATION:
*The kingdom of God must be established because you received Christ. What are you waiting for?!*

*CONTROL YOUR ANGER*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools". (Ecclesiastes 7:9 (ESV.))*
_Bible Insight:_
Mehn, the level of maturity that I see myself exhibiting in certain situations recently amazes me.
Like, something that would have made me react very angrily in the past would happen these days and I won't even bat an eyelid.
My reactions these days dey even shock me. 😂
I know that my relationship with God has become deepened than it used to be, but then I don't know if I should attribute this new level of maturity to that or if it is just old age playing out or if it's a combination of both. You know old age is nobody's mate. 😜
That being said, the truth is that some fights are just not worth the energy at all.
Most often than not, we allow ourselves to be so eaten up by an offense or a particular situation that we exert so much energy that should have been channeled into something more rewarding into responding to an event that can actually be overlooked or at most responded to with lesser force. This is how some of us have ended up blowing things out of proportion for ourselves thereby landing into a bigger shit.
Does it mean you should always let things go unattended to? Absolutely not, however, you can learn how to determine what offense is truly worth your energy, how to respond in a calmer way that will not get in the way of your mental wellbeing, and above all, how to shock people by simply pressing the ignore button, especially those who do certain "evil" on purpose just to trigger you to make you act stupidly. Remember that some of these people are the ones who will not hesitate to make a video of your stupid moments to post online just to tarnish your image. It might surprise you to know that some offense is geared towards triggering you to do stupid things that can be used against you in the future, this is why you need to be wise enough to think through certain stuff before responding.
MEDITATION:
*Don't always be swift to respond especially when you are angry. Do not make your heart a home for anger, doing that will only label you a fool even if you think you are not.*

*A GAMBLER OR AN INVESTOR* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.* (Proverbs 22:3 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The gamblers, for example, are those who fail to give tithes and follow other divine and natural principles of financial breakthrough, and still wonder why they are not prosperous. But who are the investors?
I liken the investors to the ants. Proverbs 30:25 (KJV) says *"The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;"* The ants are investors in this context. They don't wish that all will be well in the winter (coldest/rainy) and play away the summer (hottest/sunny) season.
You can't wish away the seasons of life. There will always be seed times and harvest times. When we play away the seed planting season, we will be horrible and regretful during the harvest seasons.
Many older persons live in regret wishing they can turn back the hands of time. If you are relatively young and reading this, how are you making investments for you short, medium and long term harvest?
Your destiny is in your hands because God have placed you in charge of it. Yes, you can surrender your destiny to God but God cannot do for you what He has created to do through you.
Don't be among those who waste the opportunities life throw at them, but later run to beg others and depend on others to meet up. You don't have anyone to blame even if you started off with some bit of a disadvantaged background. Maximize the seasons of your life. Be an investor and not a gambler.
MEDITATION:
*The man who blames other people for his misfortune is as irresponsible as the one who depends on others to be successful. Taking responsibility for your life is the beginning of power.* -- Sam Chiaka
