Protect Your Peace

PROTECT YOUR PEACE

See sometimes we find ourselves on God’s queue. Yes, we all have a season of waiting somehow.

You could be waiting to make babies, get a job, build a house, start your business, get school admission, buy a car, finish up a project, get married, walk over your hurdles, come out of your ill health, establish your ministry etc.

In this season, you will have many reactions from people around you ( both well-meaning friends, family plus unreasonable people in your church, office or even neighbors.)

 

One lesson waiting for Marriage taught me is to PROTECT MY PEACE, when neighbors be planning how to pick dressing code for my wedding when I was just healing through heartbreak. You managed to bake a cake for yourself on your birthday, you are told the next year own will tastes better in your husband’s house. I had someone who wouldn’t stop reminding me of my age, I cut off totally from the person. I’m that strict, yes, anything for my sanity and peace of mind; I don’t hesitate.

I had some friends who used to call me and be like “Esther you too do something and get married o time is going” on and on each time we have phone conversations.

I stopped calling them frequently. I must protect my peace. I cannot come and die.

 

You need to get to this point in your life where you spend more time with people who arouses your faith in God, ignite hope in your heart, fuel your love for God, labour in prayers to birth your miracle, encourages you to patience and walk you joyfully to your miracle. Becareful of depression, before it finishes you before your joy arrives. I’m sure that’s not good for you.

 

So please spend more time with people with SPIRITUAL SENSES who can give you peace of mind and peace of spirit. Yes, Please.

I just heard about a single sister whose sibling was getting married and on the wedding day, people prayed for her to the point that someone brought her an annoiting oil to anoint her for marital settlement. The lady got back home feeling terribly devastated. I mean.

What’s our problem in this society? These same people would be on her case few months after wedding and be asking if she’s swallowed cockroach. Life is not a rat race, own your space and let others live.

 

Somebody just wedded, you are already calling and asking if she’s already spitting, are you a witch? Sorry, it is monitoring spirit. Face your lane and don’t give people unnecessary pressure.

 

I have interacted with many waiting to conceive Christian women who have dipped their hands into the devil’s plate because of pressure. Hmm

When a call from someone who’s hungry for my baby-naming-ceremony-“rice” was becoming unbearable for me, I started to ignore the calls. Yes, I don’t need to be reminded of procreation. Besides, every woman has her own womb, why waiting on me mehn. Come to think of it, Please is it true that baby naming ceremony rice tastes differently?

You see me going everywhere for my Lord, fulfilling my kingdom assignment and you said “I don’t have thinking faculty” cause I am a waiting mom? What does a waiter do? A waiter serves mehn…

 

Hey, my focus is on you, yes, you on the queue.

Do not wait in weariness but wait serving and in faith enjoying God’s peace.

 

Scroll up again, did you see where I wrote “Spend more time with people who have Spiritual senses”

Please do. Spend less time with people who reminds you of your pains and inadequacies. If you are close with such people and can’t avoid them, tell them to their face to stop pestering you.

It is rather unfortunate that when Job was on his queue, his wife who was supposed to be a viable support system turned out uttering word that could tear him into pieces.

The Bible didn’t tell us he divorced her, I’m sure he just learnt how to protect his heart.

As much as possible stop hanging around people who would make you curse God and die.

Be discerning, know your support system. This is very important. Be vulnerable with them. Freely share, pour out your frustrations, cry if you need to but don’t bottle up too much beyond your capacity to bear. Do more of stuffs that give you joy and be GRACEFUL in your heart towards people without Spiritual senses because some don’t KNOW they’re hurting you.

The truth is not everybody is PRAYING for your miracle, don’t be bitter about that. This is life.

Leverage on your support system and walk into your miracle. Friend on the queue, protect your peace not build a wall of hate for the pathway to your miracle is to walk in love and follow peace with all men.

 

“Peace can become a lens through which you see the world. Be it. Live it. Radiate it out. Peace is an inside job. —Wayne Dyer

 

“You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.” —J. Donald Walters

 

“Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure, feasting on his faithfulness. Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and he will provide for you what you desire the most.” Psalms 37:3-5 TPT

 

To protect your peace, tarry too in God’s presence. In His presence there is fullness of joy.
