Of late, I have slacked in doing
the things of God and I have noticed how much He has longed for me again but
being the mortal that I am I haven't done much to change the situation.
This is the
second night I have woken up by 3am. (Let's go back a bit shall we. On the
28th of August I woke up by 3am as well from a dream. In the dream I
was in the midst of a prayer session going on. The preacher kept praying hard
and then some strange noises became audible. Now I wasn't praying before, I was
just listening and taking it all in as soon as I heard the strange noises, I
began to speak in tongues (my Spirit knew that the strangeness was not of God).
As I kept on praying along, it seemed as if it became more; like they were
trying to be more powerful than my God because they felt threatened and that's
how I woke up. What did I do when I woke up? I just said thank you Lord and
that was it! If He could legit punch me and drive home the message, He would
have)
Back to
today, I just had this sudden urge to go on Twitter first. I did and I came
across Kunmi Oni's profile. I came across her blog in the process and yes I
opened the link (I normally do not read blogs but this one was different the
Holy Spirit was up to something). From Her blog I got to find David Adeleke's
and I read different stories about how people had improved in life and how the
Holy Spirit was leading His.
Now the urge
to read my Bible grew stronger. I opened an app called Bible +1 and the word
for today is together. I clicked on it and it brought out many bible verses but
that which I opened was Song of Solomon 5 v 1-16. Normally, I don't read
"songs" because I have always felt it referred to Solomon professing
his love for his woman but today I saw it in a whole different light. This is
God professing His love for me, longing for me to be with Him, He has been
knocking on my door patiently waiting for me to open but I've put so many other
things ahead of Him, He has cried out for me in so many ways but I haven't
answered
"I slept but my heart was awake when I
heard my lover knocking and calling; open to
me my treasure, my darling, my dove, my
perfect one....but I responded I've taken off
my robe, should I get dressed again? I've
washed my feet, should I get them soiled? My
lover tried to unlatch the door and my heart
thrilled within me ( v 2-4 NLT)
Let me tell
you now if you don't know, my God is amazing. As soon as I was done reading the
bible, I opened a friend's message I had aired earlier (I was tired and I
needed to sleep and I probably wouldn't have opened it till much later in the
day) and he had sent
me a song with the lyrics even;
I know a
God, who’s merciful and kind
Faithful and
gracious
I’m the
apple of his eyes
And the
thought that fills his heart
Every
Morning, noon and night
He loved me
when I didn’t care
And was
patient till I came
Running back
into his arms
Look how he
turned my life around
Making me a
shining light
His glory to
reveal
I'm so
grateful to the Holy Spirit for this insight. He makes me love Him more
everyday. To know He has longed for me and still longs for me is the best ever.
By His grace, I'm going to continually work on myself to get to know Him more
and work for Him. I can't imagine my life without Him. Thank you Lord for wanting me.
