Lesson 33 of 90
I can count on one hand the number of times anyone has given me a prophetic word. And because it is so rare, I remember, almost verbatim what the prophet or those working in the prophetic gifting have shared with me. The second word I received in my life was my position in the body of Christ as an Oracle. At the time I wondered what that meant, later in life I wondered when I would start.
Then came social media and I found it to be the perfect platform to speak to my children the words of wisdom that I think are important, the words I want to reiterate, and the words that I know they’ll appreciate later in life if not today—and social media was the perfect indirect approach.
What I didn’t realize is how many people would find short prayers and reminders of life beneficial. If my children never responded or reposted what they read for them, countless others did! You see, initially, I thought social media was in and of itself a gigantic waste of valuable time. What I didn’t realize was, herein was the forum God would use to speak into lives as an oracle.
I found out much later that my natural children were glancing at posts while others were benefiting. With this in mind, I wanted to capture what would expire over time into something my children, and you, could reference forever.
Some of the sayings you may have heard before and others you may have known but never really considered. Regardless, my prayer is that you enjoy each page, as I’m direct, facetious and principled. Just know I speak from the heart of a mother with good intentions towards you.
Let the read bless your life and know little tweaks here and there, or a complete overhaul in personality can make the difference in having a fulfilled existence or a life denied of the many benefits available to you as a believer.
Now, the Words of an Oracle...
Dear Woman,
Like the Apostles wrote letters to the early church, these are the posts I made on social media and elaborated as a letter just for you. They are designed to inspire and provoke you to be, do and have everything God intended for your life. Some days are a reminder, others are an admonishment, but each day is designed to encourage you.
Sometimes we just need to be encouraged. We can know the Truth and know what’s right, but a reminder is always refreshing. This devotional is designed to be just that—refreshing.
LESSON 33
I pray your love will never quit, in Jesus’ name. #Amen.
What most people don’t realize is, love is a decision. A decision to give of yourself regardless and forever is the kind of love God demonstrated for us when He gave us His only Son, Jesus. And it’s His example of love that He expects us to show towards others.
You may have meltdown moments when you just want to be selfish—but love sacrifices. You may have conflicting moments when you’re not sure how to love anymore—but love is selfless. You may have tiring moments when you’re not sure you can love anymore—but love bears all things. 1 Corinthians says, love believes all things, hopes all things and endures all things. Which means, our choice to love another has nothing to do with a feeling and culture, television and other people’s experience and opinion should not dictate our pursuit of love or our commitment to love.
Our decision to love is in response to Christ’s love for us. Our commitment to love is in a reflection of our maturity in Christ and our resolve to love is our testimony that affects a world who cannot comprehend it.
The people you choose to love will be the people that require the most grace.
