The Consecrated Life Is a Lonely One
Вставка

- On the 18th of May, I had the opportunity to fellowship with a community of believers called, The Oasis. The conversation was around the subject of what it means to live a consecrated life and I was asked why I have chosen to live a consecrated life. This video is my answer.

Pastor Chris once said when God wants you, He makes you lonely until He is all you got. Then comes the glory of God💃💃💃
thissss
🙌
😅😭
Now i get it!!
I can relate. I just can't get away with things. Other Christians sometimes do somethings, if I try it, I'll be asking for mercy 🥺. But Sha I love it here with Abba. He has my mumu button. Thanks for sharing Ezinne. Love ❤ you and more Grace
So true! It's same with me. I can't get away with so many things some people/ some Christians do and get away it.
I’m so glad this is being talked about, it’s exactly what I’m going through. I just can’t do the things others do .
God bless you. Keep pressing on. You are an inspiration for many people across generations.
Me too
This is me too. I surely cant get away with somethings christians do. I've come to know in my walk with Christ that we've all been called to different levels of consecration due to our destinies. I use to beat myself before why i was always begging for mercy when others just go through it happily without any feeling of guilt, and that sometimes could cause loneliness but obedience is better than sacrifice. May we align with the Holy spirit .
Few months ago,I found myself crying cos i was really lonely and was asking God why,not been sure if I can continue like this.I went ahead being envious of people that have friends here and there
But this month God has taught me that my being with him is for a purpose,my time would come ,that I should remain where he has placed me cos he is working on me
Now I’m learning to be contented where and how I am,with his words in my heart and I’m slowly finding peace being alone with him😊😊😊
i understand perfectly I'm currently there...
I almost fell into depression last few weeks
Amen !!!
Exactly how i have been feeling for some days now. No frnds, nobody to talk to I have being crying day and night like am all alone in this world but one thing that gives me peace is prayer and each time I pray I cry but i still feel at peace with myself sometimes when I see good things happening to people I always ask why not me ....wish i found God earlier cos am 28 now and I feel time is running out. Thank u so much for this.
@@beautyenofe3080 you are welcome dear
Please read Isaiah 43 vs 2,50 vs7 and 26 vs 3-4
I also watched some clip about loneliness,your suffering is not in vain and all by Elizabeth Elliot here on UA-cam!
I recommend you do too
Time is not running out my dear,it can never be too late
Dont rush the process,to every man his own time 🙏🏽...move with God at his own pace.
Thank you so much success really appreciate. God bless you
Feeling so lonely today.... Ive been staring at my mirror for the past hour and I told the Holy Spirit that I am lonely. A part of me wanted to go out to get myself ice cream as "consolation". With my heart sore and tears almost at the verge of falling. I got reminded of this video. And here I am to watch it yet again😢❤️
Me too.
The Ioy of The LORD is your Strength
I wish I had yielded earlier when God was prompting me... Now I am yielded, but it has cost me so much to get here than it would have if i yielded earlier... (Disobedience has cost me so many things in my life. I pray nobody Disobey God when he calls) God have mercy on me.. And yeah, the concentrated life is a lonely one indeed ... I can relate..
My sister I was right there with you. But I want you to know the Lord knew. HE KNEW. So the truth is we’ve never really lost anything. Because he knew who we were and WHY we were.
How do you know when God is calling you?
Hey, can you tell me how you finally yielded? I've been struggling to yield and avoiding it for almost a year now, and have thrown away many opportunities that I could have had if I'd yielded, yet with all this knowledge, I'm still not on that "higher plane" that He's called me to and I've backslid as well because I'm not in the place that God intends for me.
@@alyssal.4672 how is it going
I have been alone for so many years not alone like alone .I have parents and since I was a child till l turned 19 l was always by myself.l could have friends but they were just temporary or they were school friends who I'd only meet at school so I've lived a lonely life. The relationship with my mom wasn't good ..she kind of hated me l can say ,l just mean we never used to talk .I've cried allot to God asking why he made me be separated from people for so many years .So due to this ,l lost my self-confidence l grew hating knowing new people and that made me feel want to spend more time indoors so it just became a norm . A time came for me to get into uni ,which meant that I was to move out of my parents house ,it was so much joy for me though I was so afraid of that but God was good to me for the first time in years God gave me friends.l was in a group of 7girls it was the first time I felt friendship love that was 2021 and luckily we were all doing courses that ended at the same time so we were to finish school at the same time .A whole year I was so happy I travelled and all that I can say it was the happiest year of my life but God had another purpose for me AGAIN when I was about to get into my second semester my dad lacked fee so I missed a whole sem 3 months when I went back to school I had to repeat the class which meant that my friends would finish 3 months before me .So time went by until this year February when they were to finish and surprisingly all of them went back to their home ALL of them .I was again back to me .I really cried when I realized that I was back to the life of being alone .Then again I spent my life indoors I didn't like going for my classes I hated people it was just bad .Then God gave me a guardian...my current guy he was like someone sent at the right moment because he helped me get back he took care of me in places that I felt like I was never going to make it ...Mind you I had suicidal thoughts I was depressed 😔 I was not okay but my guy was God sent .Not that alone but through what is being talked about here I feel God has kept me different and I want to allow him now to use me and I want to fucus on him ...I pray that he revils his purpose in me because through this channel I've heard him speak to me ...I don't know why I have written this long comment but I feel blessed...and also this is my 3rd day of prayer and fasting and I think God has spoken to me .May he be glorified AMEN
Stay strong my precious friend, we if not everyone experienced such. Keep your relationship with God strong and he will surely sustain you
Much love
Ezinne Zara you are indeed a Light. You are such an inspiration. Listening to you inspires my love for God. More grace to you 🙏 ❤
Same here! Whenever I'm on here, I'm either inspired or convicted
Thank you so much Ezinne. I feel like God is also leading me along such a path because I often find myself having to make a lot of tough decisions & sacrifices and I feel like that is the Holy Spirit’s doing. It is very tough for me and I feel so lonely. It is especially difficult for me, living in a family of unbelievers because everything I do surprises them because of how abrupt and unlike of me my choices are. So after feeling very depressed today from the fear of alienation from my family & the fear of not following Father God’s leading, I found your video, just before taking a nap to drown my problems. Once again, thank you so much for this timely video. I am so glad that I am not alone in this. God bless.
May the Lord strengthen your feet in His path of righteousness dear Honey. One day at a time, better and better, from grace to grace in Jesus Christ name, Amen.
I pray that you surrender the spirit of Depression to God and that he uprooted it completely from your spirit , that you spirit will be cleansed from every form of residue of it , As a child of God you shall never accept the spirit of Depression because it is not of God , it's of the father of lies you are completely free in The Lord Jesus Christ . I pray complete freedom and deliverance in your mind,heart,soul,spirit in Jesus Name I pray Amen. God bless you sis🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for your prayers and kind words, dear sisters in Christ. God bless. Love you all. ❤️
My heart is cheering you on. ❤️❤️
Imagineeee
You saw how easily your own breath can leave your body in a split second.
Oh, God be praised!
It will take him nothing to take it all away. He chooses to give to us and keep giving.
Blessed be the name of God!
Thank you for sharing this. I feel like God has positioned me in a similar place for the past 3 years... tucking me away, pruning and preparing me. It's been hard because it sometimes can feel like that conviction is in my head, that I'm actually just withering away, unseen and not flourishing because I'm not doing anything to put myself out there, but this video reinforces my convictions. There's more than life to making money, gaining influence, and building your empire. Rather, "seek first the Kingdom of God" has been the overarching theme for me in a similar season what you're speaking about.
Amen, so true. I felt the same feelings recently. What helps me is to remember that Jesus has called us to bear much fruit in Him. He won’t leave you hidden forever, because he has called you to go & bear fruit & to be productive for the Kingdom. May God continue to give you the grace to sustain in Him.
Seriously selecting what we see matters o,especially on social media
Thanks Ezinne
Ma'am Ezine, thanks for sharing this 😭😭,
I am actually in the phase of the lonely one, even to the point of my lovely parents, I can't even get hold to them 😭😭😭, it's as if I am forgotten but at the same time there's this strong bond between me and God.
Indeed you have destinies connected to you.
I pray for more strength and grace upon your life in Jesus name amen 🙏
Two years later, This is blessing another life. Thank You Jesus 🙌
We don’t know what God will do with the fruits of our obedience!!🙌🏾🙌🏾
All I can say is THANK YOU, GOD, FOR GIVING US A GIFT (EZINNE ZARA) to our generation and a time like this. I pray the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ continues to strengthen you.
Please make a video for us teenagers 🥺 please
For a while now my family has made me known for failing exams...I'm writing my final year exams and I've been cheating on a large scale...so much that I don't even need to read anymore. God has been telling me to stop but I told him I have to do this so I can make my parents proud at least once. I've been feeling so much guilt that I can't even pray anymore cause I feel like a hypocrite...this is the third warning I'm getting and honestly, i can't take it anymore. After watching this video I've made a promise not to cheat again till I finish my exams...I'll do my best and take the risk of a carry over...I really don't want to do this but I choose to believe that this is God's will for me. I'm doing this for God and for you Ezinne and I really pray and hope I won't regret it.
God will help you to go through with this . God wants you to truly depend on him . You cheating is a subtle way of telling him you don't trust him enough to help you with the affairs of your life. I know it's very hard on you but I want you to trust God on this, he will help you.
I'll also like to recommend you prayerfully writing the exam , as you are writing keep praying that you are writing in accordance to the mind of the lecturer and decree your success in those courses. After each exam regardless of what you have written believe it's already a success and thank God for it .
After the exam you can have a one on one retreat with God . I'll also be praying for you .... Can't wait for you to come back with your testimony . God bless
@@prisaina this is really inspiring thank you so much🤲
Taking that very step to cheat no more will really make you exceptional in your forth coming exams. You can be successful without cheating,just be focused on studying your books and also pray to God like never before. I'm a testimony that God can be trusted. God bless you.
You will pass the holy spirit will be by you and teach you. I hated maths and I had an exam. I remember the holy spirit sitting by me telling me not to look left or right not to cheat, the holy spirit taught me maths 😂 lol guess what he showed off. I was scared to ask my professor about my score but I got a 100percent. Felt led to share and encourage you. Nothing is impossible with God
@@durojayeitunujanet7282 it's just not as easy as it seems...I depended entirely on cheating and now I have two days left to read something I was taught for three years....this isn't about me anymore....it's just in God's hands.
I wish you never stopped teaching, i am hungry for more. God richly bless and increase you sis🙏
I'm actually in tears now...I indeed needed this,for it is very lonely...so many times I have asked myself if I'm different,if I'm antisocial,why can't they relate...
Thank you so much for this...I feel I really need the congregation of believers to share..
I never chose,I was chosen and I'm grateful...
This was so refreshing...this is a constant reminder not to let go of God's hand but constitently work out our salvation daily!.. Thank you.
We will forever be conforming to God's image. I feel lonely too and this has given me so clarity. Thank you Ezinne
11:27 - 12:27 "Years and Years of Obedience and Years and Years of refusing to GIVE UP!"
Dear Ezinne Zara,
This is most likely not going to be the first time that you'd hear this but I'll still say it. I have to.
Your UA-cam channel is one of the best things to happen to me this year.
I don't know if this is a sensible statement but it's like I see me in you(I don't know how to clearly explain it), so it's like your UA-cam channel was made just for me.
I'm seventeen years old and I just started a UA-cam channel for Jesus. God is working on me and I can't wait to start sharing my stories with people as well.
It's a lot I want to say but just, thank you Ezinne.
God bless you for me.
Yes ma’am it is!!! ❤ He is our life. Thank you for this because it keeps me going on and be consecrated for him! Jesus keeps encountering us and setting us apart through Holy Spirit!
Hmm, me I just finished crying telling God that I love him and I have been following Him, and it is hard. Because things don't go well and I'm always worried. Thinking about a 1000plans all at once.
All these worrying too has never solved anything. So I will practically leave things in his hands, exercising patience. Not just saying I trust him with my mouth but practically doing just that.
So that I can hear when He speaks.
Going through the comments, I am gladdened in my heart seeing and knowing that the Lord is revealing Himself to the youths, I am in my fifties and I also wondered why I was different, but years after, still holding onto Him, loving Him, knowing He is truly faithful, I am encouraged. God bless and keep you all standing, and you Ezinne, more grace in Jesus name, amen.
😭😭I cried the entire video. I had to subscribe. There is a remnant that God called, chosen, prepared and sent. I am in preparation stage. Bless you sister 🙏🏾 Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Just wanted to let you know your videos have been really helpful to me for the past 2 weeks and I want to bless God for his glory over your life and for giving us as His children such as you to bless us greatly❤️
amen... we are never alone and God is always with us Consecration is the best life and it will be hard for me to leave this life alone
Funny enough, i tweeted it this morning, and i stumbled on this video few minutes ago. Your story is so similar to mine. God is really amazing.
Omg every time she talks I feel like she’s me! I relate to this soo much. I’m constantly praying for friends and ministries to join. I’ve always been the one to sit in my room all day. My family thought I was depressed (still do, because I am still like this) but naturally I always separated myself. I have so much I can say, but I’m just amazed at how the Most High was separating me even back then, and I thought I was just anti social
How are you doing…I am also in a process of becoming who he has called me to
@@chiomachukwuemeka6114 Life is still kinda lonely for me. I still desire to be “out there”, but I came to the realization that this is what God wants for me. This is how He made me. And I desire such an above average life where I’m flowing in the gifts of the Spirit and the miraculous daily, and since this has always been my prayer, I will endure this wilderness while He prepares me in secret. ❤️ Trust the process and be encouraged! We are hidden and set aside because we are valuable ❤️
I just discovered your channel , it couldn’t have been at any better time. The Lord is truly speaking through you in my season ❤️
I can totally relate🥺 recently got to notice how lonely it is...God help us to stay obedient 💞💞
Thank you Ma. Ezinne for being a light!
This video also opened my eyes to see that giving my life to christ is not basic and random. He pulled me to himself because he has a plan for me. I don't know how far my obedience can go and so I will obey regardless Amen.
No one whose eyes have been truly opened would want to go back to blindness. Amen
Leonard Ravenhill helped me to understand my own feeling of loneliness that was based on consecration. It is a state where it's mere frustration to seek to be understood by people. God bless you, sister.
Thank you so much for sharing. The consecrated life is indeed a lonely life. God is indeed jealous for me. The prices paid and being paid are harsh but I rejoice, as each day , death to self and the world strips away the flesh. The price - security, family, wife and marriage.
Take care of orphans and Widows, cast out demons, heal the sick all in the name of Jesus.
Thank you for this Ezinne! It’s how the Holy Spirit always guides me to watch your videos on certain topics. Thank you for yielding to God ❤
Thank you so much Ezinne. Indeed your life is impacting many lives even, as far as you know there is more ❤️
This video stirred something on the inside of me. I don’t know how to explain it. I really needed to watch this. Thank God for you Ezinne. I thank God for your life.
Thanks for the video, Big sis. I was Blessed by it.
I’m literally crying right now. This has brought me so much comfort.
God’s body.
God’s breath.
God’s plans.
Thank you so much 🙏🏿, this was thoughtful
This is powerful message. Thank you Ezinne. I can totally relate with your message because when I gave my life to Christ 5years ago, God started working on my mind. First with transforming my mindset, then helping me to grow in my prayer life and word study life as well as building character.
I know that I’m not there yet but I will keep pressing more in his secret place until i become the person God wants me to be.
Thank you Ezinne. Going through the same thing, thanks for strengthening me.
The consecrated life is a lonely one. This just opened up depths within me.
Yes Ma
That is absolutely true
God bless you Ma
...thank you Jesus. Thank you for raising yr saints and revealing yr Truth to others like us.
I get you, I can relate on so many levels..being misunderstood and even doubting self..or whether you have heard him correctly ... a lonely path and life for a reason beyond what we can dream or imagine
😢
Thank you God for this video
May God Almighty bless you, this video has truly blessed me ❤
I can relate to so many things you spoke about, thank you for putting this out here, it's a blessing to listen you always.
Thank You Ezinne❤️
I'll listen to this over and over again 😭🔥
thanks for shining
I was actually scared of being lonely, I was like what if pulling out from my social life and focusing and obeying God would push people who are supposed to be my destiny helpers away, what if no man will want to marry me because I’m not always around people..... I regretted ever choosing my social life over God😭😭
I am 27 and I feel like I’m not supposed to be where I am now if I had continued with my relationship with God back then, I realized that I’ve wasted so many years of my life chasing nothing when the owner of everything I so desire in life is beckoning on me. I recently just found Christ again and there is no going back by His Grace and with the help of the Holy Spirit because I have given my all
It's not lonely as per say , the reason we all think some times is because not everyone understands you , they sees you strange and crazy but it's a live worth living.... thank you sister
Honestly speaking since I bumped into your video on UA-cam it has been helping me so much there was this video you made on some ladies feeling guilty of being a virgin and I've been feeling that kids honestly like yes ,I know I want to keep it for my husband but listen to that video you made I know that is not all about keeping it for my husband is also keeping it for God because it's something that open you up to God .
God bless you for all you are doing
God bless you for also keeping to his calling and obey his will being him every day without even knowing what tomorrow holds, I am super excited to meet someone like you like.
I love you. ♥️
This is powerful
“everybody was allowed to be bad except me” I FELT THAT!!!!
i’ve always thought if i do what others does God will chastise me more than the others. i’ve always been alone, which i don’t mind, but it when it starts getting lonely that it affects me sometimes. but gradually building an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit is making me not feel lonely. i love being alone with Him. and separating myself for Him starts getting easier
This is me oo, hmm. Just attempt to do what everybody is doing and you won't be okay oo. You will never be at peace.
God leading Pastor Tosin to pray at the end just felt like such a public display of affection by God to Ezinne.
I found it to be so beautiful and touching 😢😢😢
Thank you so much 🥰
I have been blessed by this, thank you so much🤍
Hebrews 12:7-12. Verse 10 specifically. You have such a beautiful spirit. Thank you for obeying God's call. I love love you
May God just continue to bless you! That’s all I can say! May God bless you
I honour you Ezinne, and I honour God's grace upon your life. Thank you Ezinne, thank you.
Am happy to meet you...
Heaven knows how much I just relate to this! All of this said here. Thank you Ezinne for allowing God to use you for us all💕
Hallelujah hallelujah thank you Jesus
Wow, preach sis❤
I am proud to live a consecrated life too🙌
God has plan for all of us called His own.
Ezinneee thank God for you.
The deleting part triggers me ... I had to delete and it hurt.. wow wow
I keep coming back!
Thank you Jesus for this ❤️🙏.. thank you ezinne..
This was so amazing, thank you and God bless you
Oh Ezinne! May God continue to strengthen you! So much love❤️
This is powerful and timely, I' am about to go listen for the second time and there might even be a third. I just want to absorb the information.
Thank you very much and God bless you.
Re-living your Kathryn kuhlman experience. Thank you for yielding Ezinne.
This has really answered Alot of my questions... kept on asking God why my part has been lonely...thank you so much
Hallelujah sister!! 👏🙌 I truly bless God for your life❤️ You understand well the upward call towards the mark/prize as Apostle Paul talked about. I pray that the Lord blesses you mightily and grants you more grace to press into him all your days. Amen 🙏
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this encouragement.🌷
I am so so blessed by this message. Thank you very much for this video Ma❤️
I am truly inspired and encouraged by this video.
Hi Ezinne, God bless you really! This was apt and timely. I'm in a place where I just needed JESUS to say, I'm the one with you here and I found this. Thank you so much.
Meanwhile, please how was this video shot? Was it a UA-cam live?
