EVEN IN THE BATHROOM

While in school, as I prepared for class in the morning, I had an inward witness in my spirit that i should be careful of getting offended that day. This happened in the bathroom. It was very clear and direct. The Spirit of God prepared me for the kind of temptation coming my way that day while i was in the bathroom. I took it calmly and was prepared for whatever may come my way that day. As i stepped into the class, I met a revision going on. The person handling the revision took permission to leave so that i'll take over. As I got to the front of the class, my class leader demanded that I should tender an apology for a promise I didn't fulfil. The man who made the promise told everyone that he was the one who made a promise not me yet the class leader caused a scene and accused me wrongly in front of everybody. I almost fumbled by flaring up in defense but the Holy Spirit prepared me ahead for the day in the bathroom.

I tendered an apology and I continued the revision session. There was a great calm in the class. Everyone knew I was right because the student who made a promise openly cleared me yet I was accused wrongly. I knew deep within that the devil wanted me to be angry that day but God prepared me for the day ahead. Jesus won Satan lost. This is one of the benefits of fellowshiping with God daily. What you do in the morning when you wake up matters alot. You can get insight about the rest of the day in the morning as you wait on God. The morning season is not just a time to ask for what you want but a time to receive from the Lord what you should do if you encounter the devil in the day. Are you prepared? Some temptations that believers fell into could be avoided if they had listened to the Holy Spirit ahead of time. In the place of sweet fellowship, the Spirit of God want to tell us what lies ahead, what to avoid and how to handle the unavoidable.

Another vital thing I want you to note in my story is the place where the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart- the bathroom. In fact, I've said it several times that I often receive/ prepare some powerful messages I preach in the toilet while doing the thing. Your kitchen can be filled with the cloud of glory as you fellowship with God. While at work, your office space can be filled with the glory of His presence. Now, you need to understand that your fellowship with God shouldn't be a part-time thing but a full time activity which can take place anywhere and at anytime. Some persons only have a place and time where they spend quality time with God. While that's good but it is not enough. We are meant to cultivate the presence of God anywhere and at anytime as the Spirit of God enables. I read one of Kathryn Khulman's post where she said she doesn't want to give the Holy Spirit one hour so that the manifestations in her ministry won't be attributed to her one hour meeting with God. She decided that her fellowship with the Spirit would be a continuous thing. This habit we must cultivate consciously. As you drive, cook, wash, walk, fellowship with God. That way, you'll be sensitive at all times.
