Volkswagen Body, Cadillac Spirit

I remember being a toddler and cant remember how i was as a baby except what i was told by my parents.
 I wasnt the sort of baby that is easy to feed as i didnt have much appetite for food and it was quite a challenge to keep me healthy or rather within the normal growth weight as each time i go to see the Pediatrician for follow ups and immunization there was always a sort of concern around my growth or lack of it.

I was taken round the missionary hospitals then in the northern part of Nigeria, as i wasnt feeding well.
 I was on Lactogen and breast milk, mom later decided to leave me on breast milk to see if my appetite will pick up, it didnt till they tried Abidec, a multi-vitamin after several others.
Abidec then became the magic formula to redirecting my development.
The scrawny baby later became healthy robust looking and could eat up a house.

I told the above story as a prequel to what i want to discuss or rather open our eyes to today.
 I remember when i was a new believer and what you will call a baby Christian, everything seemed attractive to me and i was sucking up all materials that i could lay my hands on.
Anything written by Psts Billy Graham , Kenneth Copeland, Joyce etc was it for me, and then locally Psts Enoch Adejare Adeboye, Dr Olukoya, Pst  Nuhu Kure and a host of others till i started loosing my baby fat.

I realised that the older i became in God's Vineyard the lighter my spirit got, but then it's so easy to get carried away by an expected outcome. You could go from lighter back to heavy, fluctuating, growing cold and back to hot again but better progressive than retrogressive. ...Rev 3:16, "so because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, i will spit you out of my mouth.".

I feel old at 50+ physically but lighter in my thinking and what i want to do, it's the creaks that reminds me that am too old for some of the things i venture out or attempt to do...i.e go kayaking or leap through several  flight of stairs rather than one at a time, back flips or dance the twist.

 I've got a Volkswagen body and  daily aspire towards a Cadillac spirit. I dont know if you've heard how both vehicles rev?
You need to listen to the sound to know that the difference is clear.

Are you still a baby Christian inspite of haven known the Lord for several years or you've grown and so into him that you find yourself in his presence within secs....if not, about time you do a bit of house-cleaning to get you to where you should be.
You need to feed your spirit with the word of God that will prepare you to soar higher.

Honor and majesty are found in his presence; strength and joy are found in his sanctuary...1 Chronicles 16:27.

You will show me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasures forevermore..Psalm 16:11.

 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth...Psalm 97:5.




About time you focus on higher grounds.
