7 WAYS TO PRAY WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE PRAYING 🙏🔥

Prayer isn’t about feelings. It’s about faithfulness Luke 18:1. Use these when your spirit is dry:

1. PRAY THE WORD 📖
Don’t have words? Use God’s words. Open Psalms, Proverbs, or a promise and read it back to Him.
Example: “Lord, You said in Psalm 23:1 ‘I shall not want’... so I will not lack this month.”
Truth: God honors His Word above your eloquence Isaiah 55:11

2. PRAY IN THE SPIRIT / TONGUES 🔥
When your mind is blank, let the Holy Spirit pray through you Romans 8:26. 10 mins of tongues can break dryness faster than 1 hour of “trying”.
Truth: The Spirit helps our weakness when we don’t know what to pray.

3. PRAY SHORT, HONEST PRAYERS ⏱️
“Jesus, help me.” “Father, I’m dry but I’m here.” “I don’t feel You but I trust You.”
Truth: Jesus in Gethsemane prayed the same words 3 times Matthew 26:44. God accepts honesty, not performance.

4. PLAY WORSHIP + PRAY ALONG 🎵
If you can’t talk, sing. If you can’t sing, play worship. Let the music carry your prayer.
Truth: Praise breaks chains Acts 16:25-26. Worship is prayer without words.

5. USE PRAYER POINTS / DECLARATIONS 📝
Write down 5-10 scriptures + turn them into prayers. Read them out loud even if you feel nothing.
Example from your last post: “I decree: I will not end this month in shame”. Speak it anyway.
Truth: Faith comes by hearing Romans 10:17. Your ears need to hear you believe.

6. WALK + TALK WITH GOD 🚶
Leave your prayer room. Walk outside and talk to God like a friend. No “thee/thou”. Just real talk.
Truth: Enoch walked with God Genesis 5:24. Prayer is relationship, not ritual.

7. REMEMBER + GIVE THANKS 🙌
When you can’t ask for new things, thank God for old things. “Thank You for waking me up. Thank You for breath.”
Truth: Thanksgiving is the gateway to His presence Psalm 100:4. Gratitude reignites fire.

Prophetic truth: The devil attacks most when your prayer life is about to shift. Dryness is not death. It’s training. Keep showing up.

Feelings will tell you “skip prayer today”. But destiny says “pray anyway” 🔥 You don’t need fire to start prayer. Prayer is what starts the fire.

SABABU 12 ZA KIBIBLIA ZA KUTOA ZAKA

Baada ya kuchunguza msingi wa zaka katika Biblia, swali linalofuata ni hili: Kwa nini Mungu aliweka kanuni ya zaka? Je, ni kwa sababu Mungu anahitaji fedha za wanadamu?

Jibu ni hapana. Mungu ndiye mmiliki wa mbingu na nchi, na hana upungufu wa kitu chochote.

"Fedha ni mali yangu, na dhahabu ni mali yangu, asema Bwana wa majeshi" (Hagai 2:8).

Hata hivyo, Mungu ameweka kanuni ya zaka kwa manufaa ya watu wake na kwa maendeleo ya ufalme wake duniani.

1. Zaka ni agizo la Mungu

"Leteni zaka kamili ghalani, ili kiwemo chakula katika nyumba yangu" (Malaki 3:10).

Biblia inaonyesha wazi kwamba zaka si wazo la mwanadamu bali ni agizo la Mungu. Uaminifu katika zaka ni sehemu ya utiifu wetu kwa Mungu.

2. Zaka inaonyesha kuwa Mungu ndiye mmiliki wa vyote

Tunapotoa zaka tunakiri kuwa mali tulizo nazo si zetu kimsingi bali ni za Mungu.

"Nchi na vyote viijazavyo ni mali ya Bwana" (Zaburi 24:1).

Sisi ni mawakili wa rasilimali ambazo Mungu ametukabidhi.
"Hapo tena inayohitajiwa katika mawakili ndiyo mtu aonekane kuwa mwaminifu" (1 Wakorintho 4:2).

3. Ili kiwemo chakula katika nyumba ya Mungu

"Leteni zaka kamili ghalani ili kiwemo chakula katika nyumba yangu" (Malaki 3:10).

Kazi ya Mungu inahitaji rasilimali. Nyumba ya Mungu inahitaji kuhudumiwa na huduma zinahitaji kuendeshwa.

4. Ni eneo pekee ambalo Mungu amewaruhusu watu wamjaribu

"Mkanijaribu kwa njia hiyo" (Malaki 3:10).

Katika Biblia yote, ni nadra sana Mungu kutoa mwaliko wa aina hii. Hii inaonyesha uzito wa kanuni ya zaka.

5. Ni njia ya kufadhili kazi ya Mungu duniani

Injili haiendi kwa maombi pekee; inahitaji pia rasilimali.

"Tena wamsikieje pasipo mhubiri?" (Warumi 10:14).

Makanisa, wamisionari, mikutano ya injili, huduma za huruma, na kazi nyingi za ufalme zinahitaji watu wa Mungu kuwa waaminifu katika utoaji.

6. Zaka ni tendo la imani

Kutoa sehemu ya kwanza ya mapato yako kunahitaji kumwamini Mungu kwamba ataendelea kukutunza.

"Nami kwa ajili yenu nitamkemea yeye alaye" (Malaki 3:11).

Mtu anayetoa zaka anatangaza kwamba tumaini lake si mshahara, biashara, wala akaunti ya benki, bali Mungu.

7. Ni ishara ya shukrani kwa Mungu

"Bali utamkumbuka Bwana Mungu wako, maana ndiye akupaye nguvu za kupata utajiri" (Kumbukumbu 8:18).

Zaka hutukumbusha kuwa mafanikio yetu hayatokani na uwezo wetu pekee bali neema ya Mungu.

8. Inamweka Mungu nafasi ya kwanza

"Ili upate kujifunza kumcha Bwana Mungu wako daima" (Kumbukumbu 14:23).

Kutoa zaka ni tamko kwamba Mungu ni wa kwanza katika maisha yetu.

9. Ni njia ya kumheshimu Mungu kwa mali zetu

"Mheshimu Bwana kwa mali yako, na kwa malimbuko ya mazao yako yote" (Mithali 3:9).

Heshima ya kweli kwa Mungu haionekani kwa maneno pekee bali pia katika namna tunavyotumia mali zetu.

10. Inajenga nidhamu ya kifedha

Zaka humfundisha mwamini kupanga matumizi yake na kuishi kwa uwajibikaji.

Mtu anayejifunza kutenga sehemu kwa ajili ya Mungu huwa rahisi pia kujifunza kuweka akiba, kuwekeza, na kusimamia fedha kwa hekima.

11. Inasaidia kuushinda moyo wa tamaa

Yesu alisema:
"Jihadharini na tamaa" (Luka 12:15).

Fedha zina uwezo wa kutawala moyo wa mwanadamu. Zaka hutusaidia kukumbuka kuwa sisi si watumwa wa mali.

12. Hupima hali ya moyo wetu

"Kwa maana hapo ilipo hazina yako, ndipo utakapokuwa na moyo wako" (Mathayo 6:21).

Namna tunavyoshughulika na mali mara nyingi hufunua hali halisi ya moyo wetu mbele za Mungu.

10 BIBLICAL SIGNS THAT YOU’RE GROWING SPIRITUALLY NOT RELIGIOUSLY🔥💯🎤

1. You Desire a Relationship With God More Than Religious Activities

A spiritually growing believer doesn’t pray, read the Bible, or attend church merely to fulfill obligations. They genuinely long to know God personally.

Psalm 42:1-2 (NIV)
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”

2. Your Character Is Changing, Not Just Your Church Attendance

Growing spiritually means becoming more like Christ. Your attitudes, speech, patience, forgiveness, and love begin to reflect Jesus.

Anyone can attend church every Sunday, but spiritual maturity is seen in daily life.

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

3. You Love People More Than You Love Being Right

Spiritually mature people don’t argue to prove they’re correct. They seek peace, humility, and restoration.

John 13:35

“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

4. You Obey God Even When No One Is Watching

Religion focuses on appearances.

Spiritual growth focuses on integrity before God.

You obey because you love Him not because people are watching.

John 14:15

If you love me, keep my commands.

5. You Hunger for God’s Word, Not Just Motivational Messages

Spiritually growing believers want truth,even when it corrects them.

They don’t only seek messages that make them feel good.

They want God’s Word to shape their lives.

1 Peter 2:2

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.”

6. You Repent Quickly Instead of Defending Your Sin

One of the clearest signs of spiritual growth is a tender heart.

You don’t justify your mistakes.

You confess them, repent, and seek God’s mercy.

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

7. You Depend on the Holy Spirit, Not Just Your Own Strength

mature believers understand they cannot live the Christian life by willpower alone.

They rely daily on the Holy Spirit for wisdom, conviction, strength, and guidance.

Zechariah 4:6

Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.

8. You Forgive Others Because Christ Forgave You

Holding grudges keeps people spiritually stagnant.

Growing believers choose forgiveness ,not because the offender deserves it, but because God forgave them first.

Forgiveness doesn’t always remove consequences or instantly rebuild trust, but it releases personal bitterness.

Ephesians 4:31-32

Get rid of all bitterness… Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

9. You Care More About God’s Approval Than People’s Applause

mature believers are no longer controlled by the opinions of others.

Their greatest desire is to please God.

Galatians 1:10

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?… If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

10. You Are Helping Others Grow Spiritually

Healthy spiritual growth naturally overflows into serving, encouraging, and discipling others.

You don’t keep what God has taught you to yourself.

You become a blessing to others.

Matthew 28:19-20

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

When Heaven Sees The One The World Ignores

Bible Verse:
“And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.”
Luke 16:21

Bible Context:
Jesus told the story of a rich man and a poor beggar named Lazarus.

The rich man was clothed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.

Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores and longing for the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table.

He was weak, hungry, and neglected.

No human hand is mentioned as tending to him.

Instead, dogs came and licked his sores.

One man had abundance within the house.

The other suffered just outside the gate.

Eventually, both men died.

Lazarus was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom, while the rich man entered torment.

Jesus showed that earthly appearance did not reveal their true condition before God.

Bible Truth:
Luke 16:21 teaches us that God sees the suffering person whom society may overlook.

Lazarus had no wealth, influence, comfort, or visible honor.

Yet Jesus gave him a name in the story, while the rich man remained unnamed.

This reminds us that heaven knows the person the world ignores.

The dogs licking his sores reveal how completely abandoned he had become.

They offered the only visible attention he received.

But his suffering was not hidden from God.

The rich man’s sin was not simply that he possessed wealth.

It was that he lived in luxury while remaining unmoved by the misery at his own gate.

His abundance had not produced compassion.

His eyes saw Lazarus, but his heart did not respond.

What This Teaches Us:

1. God Sees Those Others Overlook

Lazarus appeared forgotten, but heaven knew him personally.

No pain, rejection, hunger, or loneliness is invisible to God.

People may pass by, but the Lord sees.

2. Wealth Without Compassion Is Spiritually Dangerous

The rich man had more than enough, yet Lazarus desired only crumbs.

Resources are not sinful, but selfishness is.

God blesses us so that we may also notice and help those in need.

3. Nearness To Suffering Creates Responsibility

Lazarus was not far away.

He was lying at the rich man’s gate.

The need was close and visible.

We must not ignore suffering simply because responding would interrupt our comfort.

4. Earthly Conditions Are Not Final

Lazarus suffered during his life, but his pain did not define his eternity.

The rich man enjoyed temporary luxury, but comfort did not prove that he was right with God.

The final judgment of a life belongs to the Lord.

5. Mercy Must Become Practical

Compassion is more than feeling sorry for someone.

It notices, approaches, gives, serves, prays, and responds.

Faith that never moves toward the hurting has missed something essential about the heart of Christ.

Life Application:
Ask God to open your eyes to the Lazarus near your gate.

It may be someone who is hungry, sick, lonely, rejected, grieving, or silently struggling.

Do not assume another person will help.

Do not become so familiar with suffering that you stop seeing it.

You may not be able to solve every problem, but you can respond to the need God places before you.

Offer food where there is hunger.

Give encouragement where there is despair.

Show dignity to those society treats as unimportant.

Pray, listen, and serve with what God has placed in your hands.

This passage also comforts those who feel unseen.

Your present condition does not determine your value.

Your wounds do not erase your identity before God.

In Jesus Christ, the forgotten are remembered, the broken are welcomed, and the poor in spirit receive the kingdom of heaven.

Christ Himself came near to suffering humanity.

He did not remain at a distance.

He touched the unclean, welcomed the rejected, and gave His life for sinners.

Let His compassion live through you.

Do not walk past the gate when love is calling you to stop.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You because You see every person the world overlooks. Forgive me for the times comfort, busyness, or selfishness has made me insensitive to the suffering around me. Give me the compassionate heart of Jesus. Open my eyes to those in need and help me respond with practical love, generosity, prayer, and dignity. Comfort everyone who feels forgotten, and remind them that they are fully known by You. Let my life become a channel of Your mercy. Amen.🙏

*Practical Ways for your Spirit to Hear God's voice*

Most people don't struggle because God is silent. They struggle because their spirit has not been trained to recognize His voice.

God is always speaking. The question is: Is your spirit sensitive enough to hear Him?
Spiritual hearing is not a gift for a few; it is a capacity that grows through training.

1. *Spend daily quiet time in God's presence. (Psalm* 46:10)

God often speaks in the place where distractions lose their voice.
A noisy life produces a noisy spirit, but stillness sharpens your spiritual ears.
The more you linger in His presence, the more familiar His voice becomes.

2. *Fill your spirit with God's Word. (John 10:27)*

The Holy Spirit never contradicts the Scriptures He inspired.
The more the Word dwells in you, the easier it becomes to recognize when God is speaking.
His written Word trains you to discern His living voice.

3. *Obey the last instruction God gave you. (James 1:22)*

Spiritual clarity increases with obedience.
Every act of obedience sharpens your discernment, while repeated disobedience dulls your sensitivity.
God entrusts greater direction to hearts that respond to the light they already have.

4. *Crucify the noise of the flesh through prayer and discipline. (Galatians 5:16)*

The flesh is loud, but the Spirit is steady.
As you consistently pray, fast, and surrender your desires, the volume of self decreases and the whisper of God becomes unmistakably clear.
Sensitivity grows where the flesh loses control.

The voice of God is not reserved for spiritual giants. It becomes clearer to believers who consistently train their spirits to love His presence, honor His Word, and obey His leading.

*Which of these do you need to grow in the most?*

# *Pst Chris Juma*

6 HABITS THAT DRIVE AWAY GOD-SEND HELPERS FROM YOU!!
1. Constant Ingratitude (Luke 17:15–18)
People who genuinely care about you should never feel taken for granted. When gratitude is absent, even the strongest relationships begin to weaken. Learn to appreciate the time, support, prayers, and sacrifices others make for you. A thankful heart not only honors people but also honors God, who often works through them to bless your life.
2. Refusing Godly Correction (Proverbs 12:1)
God sometimes sends people into your life not only to encourage you but also to correct you. If you become defensive every time someone lovingly points out your mistakes, you may push away those who truly want the best for you. Humility welcomes correction because it understands that growth often begins where pride ends.
3. Always Taking but Never Giving (Acts 20:35)
Healthy relationships are built on mutual love, care, and generosity. If every relationship revolves around what others can do for you, people will eventually become exhausted. Ask God to make you a blessing to others, not just someone who constantly depends on them. Giving strengthens relationships and reflects the heart of Christ.
4. Dishonesty and Broken Trust (Proverbs 12:22)
Trust takes years to build but only moments to destroy. Whether through lies, deception, or broken promises, dishonesty slowly drives away the very people God placed in your life. Be known as someone whose words can be trusted. Integrity creates relationships that stand the test of time.
5. Pride That Rejects Help (James 4:6)
Many people miss God's blessings because they insist on doing everything alone. Sometimes the answer to your prayer comes through the wisdom, encouragement, or support of another person. Pride closes the door to divine help, but humility recognizes that God often uses people to accomplish His purpose.
6. Allowing Offense to Control Your Heart (Ephesians 4:31–32)
No relationship is perfect. If you hold on to every offense, refuse to forgive, or constantly assume the worst about people, you will eventually isolate yourself from those who genuinely love you. Choose forgiveness, extend grace, and protect the relationships that God has entrusted to you. A heart free from bitterness makes room for lasting, godly connections.
Never allow pride, ingratitude, dishonesty, selfishness, or unforgiveness to destroy the relationships God has ordained for your life. Treasure the people who encourage your faith, strengthen your character, and help you fulfill God's purpose. When you honor the relationships God has given you, He will continue to surround you with people who uplift, sharpen, and bless your journey.

HUO NI UONGO NA NI MAFUNDISHO YA UONGO,
KUWA MTU ANAOKOKA KWA SALA YA TOBA, NI UONGO NA DHAMBI.

JE, SALA YA TOBA INATOSHA MTU KUOKOKA KWA MJIBU WA BIBLIA?

Utangulizi
Leo kuna fundisho linalofundishwa sana kwamba mtu akisema tu maneno ya "Sala ya Toba" tayari ameokoka na dhambi zake zote zimeondolewa. Watu wengi huambiwa:
"Rudia maneno haya nyuma yangu, na sasa umeokoka."

Lakini swali muhimu ni hili:
Je, Biblia imewahi kufundisha kwamba mtu anaokolewa kwa kusali sala ya toba?
Je, mitume walihubiri sala ya toba siku ya Pentekoste?
Je, Yesu aliwaagiza watu waokolewe kwa sala ya toba?
Tunapaswa kuacha mapokeo ya wanadamu na kurudi kwenye mafundisho ya Biblia.

1. HAKUNA MAHALI POPOTE BIBLIANI PALIPO NA "SALA YA TOBA YA KUOKOKA"
Ukiisoma Biblia yote kuanzia Mwanzo hadi Ufunuo, hutapata sehemu ambayo mtume au mhubiri alimwambia mwenye dhambi:

"Sema sala hii ya toba ili uokoke."
Hakuna mfano wa mtu aliyeokolewa kwa kurudia maneno ya sala ya toba.

Biblia haisemi:
Tubuni na msali sala ya toba.
Tubuni na rudieni maneno haya.
Tubuni na mkiri sala maalumu.

Badala yake Biblia inasema:
"Tubuni mkabatizwe kila mmoja wenu katika jina la Yesu Kristo mpate ondoleo la dhambi zenu..." (Matendo 2:38)

Mitume walifundisha toba na ubatizo, si sala ya toba.

2. SIKU YA PENTEKOSTE WALIULIZA WAFANYE NINI ILI WAOKOKE
Baada ya Petro kuhubiri, watu waliguswa mioyo yao.

Wakauliza:
"Tutendeje, ndugu zetu?" (Matendo 2:37)
Hili lilikuwa swali la watu waliotaka kuokolewa.
K**a kweli sala ya toba ndiyo njia ya wokovu, Petro angewaambia:

"Rudieni sala hii nyuma yangu."
Lakini Petro hakusema hivyo.

Aliwajibu:
"Tubuni, mkabatizwe kila mmoja wenu katika jina la Yesu Kristo mpate ondoleo la dhambi zenu." (Matendo 2:38)

Hivyo jibu la Biblia ni:
Toba + Ubatizo = Ondoleo la dhambi
Si sala ya toba.

3. SAULI (PAULO) HAKUOKOLEWA KWA SALA YA TOBA
Sauli alikutana na Yesu njiani kwenda Damasko.
Aliomba na kufunga kwa siku tatu.

(Matendo 9:9-11)
Lakini pamoja na kuomba kwake, bado dhambi zake hazikuwa zimeondolewa.

Ndiyo maana Anania alimwambia:
"Na sasa kwanini unakawia? Simama ubatizwe, ukaoshe dhambi zako ukiliitia jina lake." (Matendo 22:16)
K**a sala ya toba ingeondoa dhambi, kwa nini Anania amwambie aoshwe dhambi kwa kubatizwa?

4. YESU ALIAMURU UBATIZO
Kabla hajapaa mbinguni Yesu alisema:
"Aaminiye na kubatizwa ataokoka." (Marko 16:16)

Yesu hakusema:
"Aaminiye na kusali sala ya toba ataokoka."

Alisema:
"Aaminiye na kubatizwa ataokoka."

5. WATU WA SAMARIA WALIOKOKAJE?
Walipoamini injili:
"Walipomwamini Filipo... walibatizwa wanaume na wanawake." (Matendo 8:12)
Hakuna sala ya toba inayotajwa.
Walitubu, wakaamini, wakabatizwa.

6. TOWASHI WA ETHIOPIA ALIOKOKAJE?
Baada ya kufundishwa Yesu:
"Tazama maji haya; ni nini kinachonizuia nisibatizwe?" (Matendo 8:36)
Waliteremka majini na towashi akabatizwa.
Hakuna mahali Biblia inasema aliombeshwa sala ya toba.

7. WATU WA KORINTHO WALIOKOKAJE?
"Wakorintho wengi waliposikia wakaamini wakabatizwa." (Matendo 18:8)

Mpangilio ni ule ule:
Kusikia
Kuamini
Kutubu
Kubatizwa.

Sio kusali sala ya toba.

8. UBATIZO UNAHUSISHWA NA WOKOVU
Biblia inasema:
"Mfano wa mambo hayo ni ubatizo, unaowaokoa ninyi sasa." (1 Petro 3:21)

Biblia haisemi:
"Sala ya toba ndiyo inayowaokoa ninyi sasa."

Inasema:
"Ubatizo unaowaokoa ninyi sasa."

9. TOBA SIYO SALA YA TOBA
Toba maana yake ni:

Kubadilisha moyo.
Kubadilisha fikra.
Kuacha dhambi.
Kumgeukia Mungu.

Mtu anaweza kusema sala ndefu sana lakini hajatubu.
Na mtu anaweza kutubu kwa kweli na kisha kutii amri ya kubatizwa.
Toba ya kweli huonekana katika utii.

HITIMISHO
Kwa mujibu wa Biblia:
Hakuna fundisho la wokovu kwa "Sala ya Toba" pekee.
Hakuna mtume aliyewahi kuhubiri sala ya toba k**a njia ya kupata ondoleo la dhambi.
Hakuna mfano wa mtu aliyeokolewa kwa kurudia maneno ya sala ya toba.

Lakini Biblia inafundisha:
Kusikia Injili (Warumi 10:17)
Kuamini Yesu Kristo (Yohana 8:24)
Kutubu dhambi (Luka 13:3)
Kukiri imani (Warumi 10:9-10)
Kubatizwa kwa ondoleo la dhambi (Matendo 2:38)
Kuishi maisha ya uaminifu mpaka mwisho (Ufunuo 2:10)

Swali la kutafakari:
Ikiwa siku ya Pentekoste Petro alisema:
"Tubuni mkabatizwe kwa ondoleo la dhambi"

Kwa nini leo baadhi ya watu wanafundisha:
"Sema sala ya toba tu, tayari umeokoka"?

Kila Mkristo anapaswa kuchunguza mafundisho yote kwa Neno la Mungu na kufuata kile Biblia inachofundisha.
"Mungu na awe wa kweli, na kila mwanadamu mwongo." (Warumi 3:4).

HOW TO GET RID OF MUSTARBATION.

👉 Genuinely repent from it. Confess it to God in prayers. Ask for forgiveness and mercy.

👉 Deal with the root cause. Quit po*******hy. Avoid unnecessary isolation and idleness. Stop late-night scrolling. End ungodly friendships. Identify what repeatedly leads you into másturbation and intentionally cut it off.

👉 Fill your heart daily with Scripture, prayer, and godly teachings. As God's truth renews your mind, ungodly desires lose their power and your desire to please Him grows stronger.

👉 Don't fight alone. Find a mature Christian, mentor, pastor, or trusted believer who can encourage you, pray with you, and help you stay committed to purity. One will chase a thousand, two will chase how many? 🧏🔥

👉 Guard your eyes, ears, and mind. Be intentional about what you watch, read, listen to, and follow online. What constantly enters your heart will influence your actions.

👉 Depend on God's grace daily. Don't ever get to a point in your life where you think you can do it on your own. The arm of flesh will fail you.

God has helped many.
He will help you too.

SEXUAL PURITY PAYS. 🤍💡
