ADVICE FOR MEN ONLY

Proverbs31:3 do not waste your strength on women, on those who ruin kings. NLT

In my final year in the university, after I wrote my last paper, on a certain night, I did a prayer walk from my hostel to my fellowship venue. As I was praying that midnight, a young man walked up to me on the gallery and I stopped my prayers. He left his girl friend downstairs and he started telling me bitter stories. I have always seen his face on campus with that girl but I didnt know he had a wonderful past but a threatened future.

He told me about how God called him to do ministry and how he was mightily used of God in the past. There was a phrase he kept on saying as we were talking, he'll always refer to his glorious past as 'when I was on fire'. He told me how he plunged into immorality; that fire was quenched by women. Dear brother of God, there are fire extinguishers in town. The destiny you carry is too glorious to be wasted on women.

I can't forget a brother I knew while growing as a church boy, when you talk of fire-brand brother, he was the number one I've seen so far. His knowledge of the scriptures was exceptional and his anointing was unique. He impregnated a sister and his life and ministry nose-dived, he dropped out of medical school, became an alcoholic and a petty-thief. He stole and he was caught, he shamefully returned to his village.

Some women specialize in ruining kings and men of strength, they are on the street, schools and even in churches. They have been empowered to destroy, please run from them.

Action point

I receive grace to run from destiny destroyers In Jesus name. Amen
