    For the lady who asked the question, I'll say you have to make a decision to follow God wholeheartedly. You have to be ready to let go of those things you're enjoying. Then talk to God to give you the strength, because you'll need it. Tell him to lead and direct you.
    Now practically, your first step should be cutting off your friends that are into such. Afterwards, immerse yourself in the word of God. You can read Christian books. I'd recommend Francine Rivers' "Her Mother's Hope". These books would teach you practical Christian living, the full reality of it. Take a break from things that'll draw you into thàt life, maybe social media and immerse yourself fully in His word. God bless you.

    This particular podcast, really made me cry and happy at the same time. Knowing that God was intentional about setting me apart from a relationship that literally ripped me off everything I once stood for.
    One day God asked me, if I ask you to give up ur relationship will you?
    So I pose same question to the guy I was dating because we were supposed to be building a godly relationship.
    The relationship ended anyway. I was in pain for months. Those days were my dark days ...but God.
    Looking back now, I realize that it was salvation. It was deliverance from something I couldn't save myself from.
    Dear Ezinne Zara ,
    In my walk with God and my journey into purpose, you've been a reference point and a huge source of encouragement..
    I thank God for you

    My third time listening to this..the first time i listened to him..where he spoke about God told him to block his friends and i remember God had told me to block some friends and i was hesitant to do it.
    After listening to his story i immediately felt the courage to block them. And that day i encountered God and till now God is speaking to me tremendously..
    Those friends were as though distracting me from hearing tge voice of God because i was literally depending on them for my living...
    I took that step of faith and my life has changed greatly..Thanks for sharing your story.❤👏👏

    This is profound! I was so blessed watching this. Thanks so much guys🤍
    Here are some of the things that stood out for me:
    a). Whatever goes against the laws of your conscience that you keep doing is a slave master.
    b). God wants us to have abundance but not for abundance to have us, so sometimes He might causes shortage when He sees this happening to bring us back in track.
    c). Evil gains can only be preserved by evil deeds
    d). God is not just interested in giving us things alone, He wants us to also have the character to stay there, and with peace of mind.
    e). Anything that is of value will cost you!
    f). Temptations are an evidence of a desire still inside of you. The issue is having control over them.
    g). We need the Holy Spirit. When we rely so much on our own strength, that’s when we actually fail!
    h). Finally, if God doesn’t help me, I can’t do this!
    God bless you all💖

    When Ezinne spoke about people doing evil and it looking like success, I was reminded of Psalm 73 because even David felt this way too, why are they succeeding? They ( the evil people) in psalm 73 were even saying does God see? Does He know? Even David was considering this things, He tried to make sense of the reason why things are like that until He entered into the sanctuary of God and realised that the end of evil people is destruction.

  • @remithefirst
    @remithefirst Год назад +2

    You said something so true and it was definitely an inspiration from God, Ezinne. Paraphrased, you said: the longer we stay away from God and acquire things or build a life that is against the principles of God, the bigger a prison we're building for ourselves without knowing.
    This is so profound because an unspoken plan many people have is to "enjoy" life to the fullest, then when they're satisfied (?) and maybe close to death, they will turn to Jesus. But that's just an architectural plan for a big prison. Because at the end of the day, that life will keep them away from genuinely giving themselves to Jesus even when they want to.

    @lifewithvhee Год назад +3

    "For every death there was a rebirth"
    How I see it, is not exactly starting all over again.
    I see it as God has a set out script of how our lives should go (Just like with Jesus) and when we decide to go our own way we fall out of that script. But when we get back to following God, we go back to continue from where we stopped when we fell out of the script.
    This was a wholesome video, thank you Ezinne and Friend ❤

    There truly is grace for obedience. The truth is that if you choose God the genuineness of that decision must be tested time and time again, through the desires that grip our flesh. Thank you Ezinne, I may not have the things I imagined to acquire but I am definitely not where I used to be and God in his infinite mercies is building an unbreakable character in me that I would not trade for anything. Indeed, thank you Jesus for the the Holy Spirit. Taste and see that the Lord is good. I actually remember the way things got so bad for me I would be telling God that my life is so bitter, I could taste it.

    wow! this episode really hits home. It is so common among us young Christians to be under indirect peer pressure by the world but trying to serve God at the same time! Like the title of the video says, sometimes you look at the path with God and it seems too much, or you're loosing out on too much. This video is good for me and others who feel like following God is so hard that the old lifestyles seems much "better". God bless you so much! Your genuine passion for God from both of you is very inspiring to see!
