Dear people of God.  

You need to know Who God is and where you are with Him. 

Refuse to allow anyone to frustrate your faith in God. 

I hear it all the time how religious bigots would refuse to let your past go, and continue to throw it in your face.

Don’t let it get to you.  All you need to hold fast to is that, 

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9; BSB)

Now that you are born again, you are a new creation.  Old things are passed away! You have been given a new lease on life and have been made righteous. (See 2 Corinthians 5:17)

However, your new life needs a strong dosage of daily Bible reading for your growth to notbe stunted. 

Hence the Bible says, “Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment. (See 1 Peter 2:2)

Without daily Bible reading, your New born Spirit will be weak, and the old sin-nature will dominate it. And you will be flooded with those feelings of guilt and inadequacies. 

In that weakened state, you’ll become prone to curses, suffer mental health issues, develop psychosomatic disorders, and demonization. 

It is in your best interest to fortify yourself by what is known as the Daily Christian Discipline, which involves the following:

* Regular Prayers to God, 

* Personal Bible study (you can subscribe to a free Daily Devotional or Bible Reading Plan online- check out YouVersion, I’ve found them helpful)

* Fast intermittently- helps to develop self-control

* Fellowship with other Believers and, 

* Share your faith with others-just simply tell others how you overcome problens.

Your faith needs to grow or else you will become a casualty of spiritual warfare – demons will make your life a living hell here on earth.

Prayer:

Faithful God, thank you for giving me your Divine nature as well as everything I need for life and Godliness.

Forgive me for not believing your Word and allowing myself to follow the voice of the stranger. 

I reaffirm my faith in You and now walk in righteousness, excellence, productivity, health and wisdom.

I affirm that I have all I need in You for you are my sufficiency, in Jesus’s mighty name.
