Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How long are you going to waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” But the people were completely silent. 1Kings 18:21
Lot’s wife looked back at the land from which the angel had come to rescue her from and she turned into a pillar of salt. That is a timeless lesson that we all must learn because God hates indecision. Jesus in the book of revelations talks about spitting out the church that was neither hot nor cold because in the things of God you cannot go back and forth. It is either you are going forward or you are going back. It is dangerous to take one step forward when you feel like and another backwards when you feel like.
It’s like the people who only come to church when they feel like and when they don’t feel like they go and hang out with friends drinking in the club; Or the people who pray every night for the period they feel like and then during the period when they don’t feel like praying they watch pornographic movies and do crazy things to while the night away; that is a very dangerous way to live. Such people play with fire that always burns out of control and destroys them. Our Christian experience is not a picnic that you can organize when you are in the mood and decide not to have one when you don’t feel like. Christianity is life or death; you are either keeping yourself alive or killing yourself. Never take things lightly. The devil might try to convince you that it is alright to keep irregular fellowship with God but that is just his strategic way of cornering you to a place where he can destroy you. Lot’s wife knew she was not supposed to look back but she probably looked back because a voice in her head told her it was alright to look back!
That voice telling you that it is alright to pray only when you feel like and not at the divinely appointed times that God has instructed Liberationites to pray, is an agent of the strong man in your bloodline that has been assigned to destroy your destiny. That voice telling you that all this first fruit offering and tithes they are talking about is not compulsory is an agent of the spirit of poverty that has been assigned to keep you poor.
Liberation thought: Christ is my Rock

Prayer:
Every cause of spiritual coldness in my life, be nullified by the blood of Jesus.
Every cause of disappearance or unwillingness of would-be help in my life, be nullified by the blood of Jesus.
Every cause of lack in my life, be nullified by blood of Jesus.
