Good Morning Guys and Happy Weekend to you!
Some days ago, during my Quiet time, I
told God to take away everything and anything that distracts me from listening
to him. I knew immediately as I prayed that God wanted me to start paying less
attention to my phone and more to him. As I stood up from the bed, I felt like
God poured upon me the anointing for quietness (which is quite unusual since
I’m an extrovert).
I immediately felt like sewing and listening to music at the same time. So, I started my work, not talking to my roommates, minding my business. Few hours later. after staying away from the phone for some hours, I finished my work and decided to play with the phone only to discover that my phone had wiped of itself. My pictures, contacts, messages, candy crush game that I had advanced well in, cooking fever game, BBM, WhatsApp and my wonderful Instagram had all disappeared leaving just my songs and some applications that I didn’t even know that I had. I was so upset. Infact, my spirit was vexed and in my mind I started to scream and began to say, “God, I asked you to take things from my life that were taking your place, I didn’t ask you to take my pictures, social network accounts and my games. Did you have to do this”. As I turned to face the wall, one of my roommates collected my phone and returned it almost immediately telling me that my phone was ok now. True to her word, my phone was back to normal. My countenance was brightened immediately. Turns out I de-activated something. But I learnt very important things which I’d like to share with you.

1. God is interested in our relationship with him
and he wants us to fix our gaze on him. He wants to be the center of our lives.
2. We all know deep in our hearts those things
that take us away from God. Little gods or thin gods as we all call them.
3. We also know that God wants us to get rid of
them so that our lives will be all about
him and not about our phones, clothes, toys etc.
That day, I
made a decision to take completely from my life, everything that has been
taking my life from God but since my life is not just about me alone, I want you
also to make a decision as regards what you have just read. But I must warn
you, if you have truly made a decision about what you have read, God is going
to do somethings that you might not like. But be rest assured that it's for
your good.
From now on,
by the grace of God, whatever has been taking God’s place in your heart is
taken away in Jesus name. Lines are falling for you in pleasant places in Jesus
name. Doors are opening for you. It is well with you in Jesus name.
Shalom

This is a hard decision to take. But Lord More of You. Even if it cost me my fone
