THE GOOD NEWS BEARER 

"What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops." ~ Matthew 10:27

Deborah O Daniel (Toyin) is an Evangelist and a Christian Writer. She grew up in a strict, religiously confused household, but found Christ on her own, when it became clear to her that she had no relationship whatsoever with Him and had no purpose in life, in spite of her upbringing. Deborah surrendered her life to Christ in 1992 but kept running from her calling owing to the severe trials she faced and the cares of the world, until she had a personal encounter with Him years later. She steps out of her comfort zone as led to fulfil her calling. She also speaks openly about her childhood difficulties and the struggles she has had in life, to testify of the mercy of God and His awesome power. For more messages and a heart talk on living a fulfilled life in Christ, get the book, Walk the Winning Walk (English-British and English-American) here, offered for free by Divine Literature International, and available to Born-again Christians ONLY - particularly new believers.

When Knowledge Becomes Dangerous

Consider yourself highly favoured if God gives you revelations, beloved. God loves to share deep and hidden things with His loved ones (Daniel 2:19, 22). He may choose to give us revelations through visions and dreams, regardless of our age, our status, our spiritual calling, or the duration of our relationship with Him. However, there is a limit to what He will reveal to a person who is not spiritually mature. He will not give us revelations that we will misuse – more so to our own detriment.

 

I grew into a withdrawn, short-tempered young girl because I was often verbally and physically abused by one of my parents. But then, I had a gift, which thinking about it now, God is indeed gracious, not to have taken it back. He would show me evil things people were doing, but not their faces. Sometimes, it would be just a glimpse. I was often baffled at the time, to the point that my thoughts would go, “What am I to do with half the scene?”  I kept wondering why I couldn’t put the pieces together, until I learnt that I was still growing in the faith, and lacked spiritual maturity and the wisdom to take it all in. I also needed to be protected for my own good - mainly because of my temper. Besides, it’s not everything God shows us that is meant to be shared with other people. He may just wish to warn us of danger, prepare us for certain tasks, or need us to pray about matters. At times, He wishes to reveal certain things to us because of our intimacy with Him, and requires nothing of us. Most of the revelations I received at the time were warnings (as I found out later in life), which I used to my advantage, or I wouldn’t even be alive today; praise God! Most of the missiles thrown at me in my adult life, He already forewarned me about, when I was younger. Isn’t He faithful!

 

A Tip: Ensure that you write down what God reveals, if He speaks to you through visions and dreams.

 

Knowing what I know now, it is doubtful that I would still be alive today if God had given me complete revelations or shown me the faces of those evildoers, and I had confronted them without the much-needed fire and spiritual covering. I can tell you though, that things are pleasantly different now. To God be all the glory!


Shalom!


Deborah O Daniel (Toyin)
