Christianity Etc › Christianity And Hypocrisy by ACKCITY(op): 9:06am On Jan 09, 2017
I challenge any Apostle, Pastor, Bishop, and Evangelist or any Christian at all who is not guilty of this to quote me wrong. I am using the New Living Translation; don't even try to bamboozle me with those talks of NLT not being the original version of the bible because most of you don't know how the KJV nor the bible came into being. I happen to be a pastor who refused to follow the multitude, I have done a thorough research of my believe, and hey Mr. Preacher, you need to go find out the truth about your believe. You became a Christian because you were born into a Christian home, if you were born into a Muslim home you would have been a Muslim! So spare me all those lies, thanks.

Preacher man and Born again! Listen to the word of God from the bible by prophet Isaiah. (Isaiah 58: 3 to the end)

"We have fasted before you!" they say. "Why aren't you impressed? We have been very hard on ourselves, and you don't even notice it!"



"I will tell you why!" I respond. "It's because you are fasting to please yourselves. Even while you fast, you keep oppressing your workers (your employees, your house helps, your junior colleagues)

"What good is fasting when you keep oppressing your workers? What good is fasting when you keep on fighting and quarreling? (Hating, back-biting, feeling big, thinking you are the best). This kind of fasting will never get you anywhere with me. (God's word! Na God talk am, no bi ACK)

"You humble yourselves by going through the motions of penance, bowing your heads like reeds bending in the wind. You dress in burlap and cover yourselves with ashes. Is this what you call fasting? Do you really think this will please the Lord?

"No, this is the kind of fasting I want: free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you (Oga na you bible dey talk to.. you.. you, Manager for bank, don't because you pay someone 10,000 and make him labor for 1 million). Let the oppressed go free and remove the chains that bind people.

"Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. (Chairman, na bible dey talk for here o!) Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help (Abeg, no bi talk this one o, na God talk am for inside bible)

"Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.

"Then when you call, the Lord will answer, "yes, I am here", he will quickly reply

"Remove the heavy yoke of oppression. Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors! Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon

Christianity Etc › Why You Should Not Show Off Your Wealth by ACKCITY(op): 3:51pm On Jan 08, 2017
A certain king in the Old Testament named Hezekiah was very ill, but was healed through the power of the word of God. After his recovery kings from other nations came to visit him, just like when one of our rulers in the world today goes for a major surgery, other leaders pays him visit when he has been discharged from hospital.

Such was the case of King Hezekiah. Among those who visited him then was the prince of Babylon, the prince of Babylon in those days was one of the richest people on earth. He was accompanied by a great convoy from Babylon (Ministers, Head of services, ambassadors, senators etc.) with the siren of their cars blaring everywhere in town.

This excited King Hezekiah and because he needed to make them see that he was a very rich king, he took them around his palace and the around the entire kingdom and showed them EVERYTHING in the palace, the silver, gold, spices and aromatic oils, his armory and all the royal treasuries.



Isaiah 39: 2B, "There was nothing in his palace or kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them"

After the y had gone, God sent prophet Isaiah to visit the king and asked him where his visitors were from and what he showed to them in the kingdom. Hezekiah told him the truth that he showed them everything in the palace.


Look, it doesn't matter if you have always been a humble person, one single slip can cost you so much. Hezekiah was a very humble man; remember how God added to his life 15 years when he was supposed to have died of a terminal illness. But one moment of showing off cost him is reputation of many years. Read Isaiah 39:5-7

"Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, 'Listen to this message from the Lord of Heaven's Armies: "The time is coming when everything in your palace-all the treasures stored up by your ancestors until now- will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left," says the Lord. Some of your very own sons will be taken away into exile. They will become eunuchs who will serve in the palace of Babylon's king"

So I said to myself that means there is truly "generational curse", and it can go as far as great- grandchildren if they are not saved. One can only be saved from curse through salvation which is only gotten from Jesus Christ.

Praise God!

Christianity Etc › How To Recover From Sickness by ACKCITY(op): 3:27pm On Jan 08, 2017
Hezekiah was the king of Judah in Jerusalem. He was one of the kings in the Old Testament that truly served God. During his reign as the king of Judah, he suffered many afflictions including threats to his life by other kings in the world then.

But in spite of his faithfulness, he was struck with a terminal disease by God. And prophet Isaiah revealed to him that he was going to die. But rather than get angry or feel offended like many of us would have been, because we are serving God, we are not supposed to fall sick! Alas! Hezekiah cried unto God. In Isaiah 38: 3, he cried to God, "Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight"

So it's not everything that happens to us that comes from the devil, God uses something's to test our faith to see how much we can rely on Him. Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take"



In John chapter 14 verse 1, Jesus Christ was speaking to his disciples, he said, "Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God and also trust in me"

So regardless of whatsoever situations you may find yourself, put all your trust in God. In fact some of those situations are coming from God for correction purposes, so that you can change some things about your lifestyle, maybe to stop you from some disobedience you are used to. He wants to see if you are willing to change.

Let's go back to our story in Isaiah 38:4-6 and 8, "Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying go and say to Hezekiah, thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears; behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. (God is adding to somebody's today in Jesus name).

Can you imagine that! God added 15 extra years to the life of a man that doctors have declared dead. A man who is to die in a few days, God added 15 years to his life.

Christianity Etc › Let Jesus Carry Your Burden by ACKCITY(op): 4:47pm On Jan 07, 2017
We often stray away from God when we are stressed up or faced with certain life challenges, instead of staying firm to the word of God, we prefer to believe what we can see, and because of our belief we end up becoming miserable at a serious life challenge.

The tendency of keeping faith in God at such times decline greatly, and we either loose courage and hope or believe in God. We prefer to either give up on life or go into something that may end up destroying our future or even our eternity.

As much as it is difficult to trust in God in times like this, the word of God says we should come to God with our troubles and sorrow. It is much better to believe in God than use the devices of the devil.



In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus was preaching to the crowd who sat down to listen to him. Among them were unhappy people, hungry people, jobless people and even those who are sick and in need of healing.

Jesus recognized their situations, he knew their troubled state and he knew they needed help, the same way we are in need of help today.

He said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” Matthew 11: 28

Are you wearied, stressed up and discouraged because of some certain life challenges? Why not go to Jesus today?

Christianity Etc › Who Is God? (nahum 1:2-8) by ACKCITY(op): 9:34am On Jan 06, 2017
“The Lord is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and wrath. He takes revenge on all who oppose Him and continues to rage against His enemies!” Nahum 1: 2

That is to say God does not accept idolatry in any form. He is jealous and will harm those who worship any other god(s) apart from Him.

Why is He angry? He is angry because He is the Creator of you and He demands that you worship Him and only Him and no other god(s).

“The Lord is slow to get angry, but His power is great and He never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays His power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath His feet”



Though God may allow the wicked to enjoy his wicked ways for a long time but He will surely punish the wicked.

Yes because He is the Creator of all things; “At His command the oceans dry up and the rivers disappears. The lush pastures of Bashan and camel fade and the green forests of Lebanon wither”

In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed.


When the Lord is angry, “who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive His burning fury. His rage blazes forth like fire and the mountains crumble to dust in His presence”

Who is God? “The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in Him. But He will sweep away His enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue His foes into the darkness of night”

Note: All quotes are from the New Living Translation of the Holy Bible except otherwise stated.

Christianity Etc › Your Position Will Not Buy You Eternity by ACKCITY(op): 9:00am On Jan 06, 2017
When the Lord decides to punish the people of the earth for all their sins and atrocities, no one will be spared regardless of how highly placed they are in the society, be you a pastor, a bishop, a president or the richest man on the entire surface of the earth.

Your money will not give you salvation. The only thing that can save our life is knowing God and believing in His promises, following His decrees and laws. If you are fighting a fellow man like yourself you can use your skills, talents, strengths and even weapons to defeat your opponent. But no one has ever and will ever be able to fight God successfully not even the fallen angels.

Your power can get you money; money can buy you bombs, automatic guns, armories that can destroy an entire city, killing large number of people. But you cannot stand the wrath of God!



Listen to this:

"Look! The Lord is about to destroy the earth and make it a vast waste land. He devastates the surface of the earth and scatters the people.

"Priests and lay people, Servants and masters, Maids and mistresses, Buyers and sellers, Lenders and borrowers,

"Bankers and debtors- none will be spared. The earth will be completely emptied and looted. The Lord has spoken!" Isaiah 24:1-3 (NLT)

So when God wants to destroy, it will affect anyone that is not on His side regardless of your status, regardless of how thick the walls of your building are, even the large number of security guarding you is worthless because they won?t even be able to protect themselves not to talk of you against the wrath of the Almighty. The only saving grace is to be on the Lord's side.

Many of us don't think of death, we think after this life there is no more life, if you believe that as man or human being your soul or flesh is being moved by a spirit, and if you know that spirits don't die then you will no that you have another life after this present body wears out.

And the truth is this, the good and the bad people will not be in the place, while the good people will be separated by God to live eternity with Him, where there is no weeping, no hunger, no war, no diseases, then you will do you best to be a good person so as to go this place.

How then can you be on the Lord's side?

Christianity Etc › How The Wicked Will Die by ACKCITY(op): 9:39am On Jan 05, 2017
“The mighty man has been destroyed. Yes, your insolence is ended. For the Lord has crushed your wicked power and broken your evil rule” Isaiah 14:4B-5 (NLT)

Many rulers forgets that they were once not rulers and if they had been subjected to inhumane treatments they are met on others, the chances is that they probably wouldn't have gotten to the position which gave them so much power to treat others so inhumanely.

Some leaders kill innocent citizens in thousands, we have heard of those that have tried to wipe out an entire tribe. Many have oppressed and squandered resources meant for an entire nation, using it for their individual selfish purposes.

Hear what God is saying to you:



"You struck the people with endless blows of rage and held the nations in your angry grip with unrelenting tyranny. But finally the earth is at rest and quiet. Now it can sing again!? Isaiah 14:6-7

Therefore, regardless of how much oppression or hardship you deal on your people, they people you have been elected or crowned to lead, their day of rest will come. On the day the Lord will avenge His people.

"In the place of the dead there is excitement over your arrival. The spirits of world leaders and mighty kings long dead stand up to see you. With one voice they will cry out, 'Now you are as weak as we are! Your might and power were buried with you. The sound of harp in your palace has ceased. Now maggots are your sheet, and worm your blanket!" Isaiah 14: 9-11

Interesting, isn't it? Other leaders, who had died, both those who were oppressed by you and the ones that were your allies, all will be happy at your arrival in the land of the spirits. The word of God remains alive forever!

Pride is the reason for many sin, many have exalted themselves close to God, they are proud of their achievements especially when they are leaders therefore sinning against God. How can one individual imagine wiping out an entire tribe created by God? It is pride that brings such thoughts which leads to murder. Pride causes jealousy and murder!

Christianity Etc › Some Bible Facts by ACKCITY(op): 8:56am On Jan 05, 2017
1.During the days of Noah God wiped off the entire universe using flood. It rained forty days and nights and after the flood covers the earth for 150 days. (5 months)

2.Nimrod- the first heroic warrior on earth; the greatest hunter on earth.1,260 days was mentioned twice when some things will happen

3.Revelation was written near the end of the first century

4. Abraham and Sarah have the same father but different mothers.

5. Rebecca and Isaac were cousins

6. The more acquainted you are with God, the more you love him; the more you listen to his word, the more you love and discover him, and then the more of him you receive. And when you have this strong love for him, the word of God becomes rooted in your heart. So that when you are faced with any situation, you know God's position concerning it and you promptly declare God's stand about it. Know this fact "Life and death are in the power of the tongue". Proverbs 18:20-21. "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks". Matthew 12:34-35, 37.

7. Dunamis means the dynamic ability to cause change.

Christianity Etc › Hour Of Breakthrough by ACKCITY(op): 9:37am On Jan 04, 2017
“Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever” Isaiah 9:1A

All the darkness and despair in my life cease today in Jesus name.

If you believe in God’s word and you keep His commands, though you may pass through some difficult times, but I assure you that as long as you keep your faith and heart focused on God, your problems, strife and sorrows will not go on forever.

Isaiah continued in verse 2 of the same chapter, he said, “the people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine”

Darkness here could mean “bad times” “ hard times” “trials” etc. while light could mean, “solution” “favor” “blessing” “help” “provision” etc.

So people who were suffering, having bad times will suddenly have solution, help and favor that will take away their sufferings.

When will the final peace come?

In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all. The cow will graze near the bear. The cub and the calf will lie down together. The lion will eat hay like a cow. The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra. Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm” Isaiah 11:7-8

Romance › The Glory by ACKCITY(op): 11:10am On Jan 03, 2017
She kept steering at the sky wondering why the weather was bright. What is going on? Any new thing about happening? No sign of anything new! And why is the sky so bright?

Hellen 22, an adorable light complexioned lady is at the sea port confused about the unusual brightness of the sky.

The weather seemed to changed per second and this confused her the more. Possibly it was a sign of rain to come.



Lots of preparations going on, invitations had sent out and the families preparing for the great occasion were all in happy mood. In recent, it had been from one meeting to the other to finis the arrangements for the great day!

Just few weeks to Hellen wedding but no mother-in-law. She kept wondering how the day will look like without her blessing. Few minutes later her fiancé got to where she sat, but speechless. Soliloquy, How will I explain all this to her? Who will be my mother? Should I use my mother’s sister? But I think it is better to go like that without her because, she can’t express like my mother.

Christianity Etc › Witchcraft And Medium Consulting by ACKCITY(op): 10:12am On Jan 03, 2017
"Someone may say to you, "Let's ask the mediums and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With their whispering and mutterings, they will tell us what to do. But shouldn't people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead? Isaiah 8:19 (NLT)

The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English defines "Dead" has something that is no longer alive, something no longer working because there is no power.

See how the man described to be the wisest man ever on earth described the "dead". Solomon in Ecclesiastes 9:5B-6, "The dead know nothing, they no longer play a part in anything here on earth"

So why would people consult the dead for an answer? It is because of their evil practices, practices developed by mankind. This witchcraft and it is against the Laws of God. God is against all kinds of idol worshiping.

Why consult a dead that knows nothing? That is what this statement in Isaiah 8:19 implies, "But shouldn’t people ask God for guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead?"


A dead person is lying helpless, unable to get up. The body decomposing or already decomposed, how can this body give guidance or advice?

Christianity Etc › What Does It Mean To Be Save? by ACKCITY(op): 9:24am On Jan 03, 2017
“For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent His son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him” John 3: 16-17 (NLT)

Jesus in John 12: 47 said, “I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not judge it. But I all who reject me and my message will be judged on the Day of Judgment by the truth I have spoken” (NLT)

“Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through Him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf” Hebrews 7: 25



“So get rid of all of all filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word of God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls” James 1: 21 (NLT)

“You can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins” James 5:20 (NLT)

Christianity Etc › Prophet Felix Oluyemi (babaolomi) 1960-2016 by ACKCITY(op): 4:20pm On Jan 01, 2017
Prophet Felix Oluyemi was born on March 13, 1960 at Bomodeoku camp in Ondo State, South West, Nigeria to the family of late Pa. and Madam Gabriel Oluyemi.

Pa Oluyemi was a great cocoa farmer while Madam Oluyemi was a merchant. They were both Catholics and brought their children as Catholics.

According to reports, Babaolomi died after he laid down to rest on Monday, November 28, 2016 after his early morning prayers and his breathing became irregular thus prompting his immediate family members to call in his private physician who advised he should be taken to the hospital for medical care, observation and rest due to stress symptoms he observed/diagnosed

Some of his close associates reported that his last moment speeches and vision he shared with his congregation and personal doctor on Sunday 27th November 2016 indicates he had fore-hand knowledge of his exit from earth.

Late Prophet Felix popularly called “Baba Olomi” came to Lagos after doing the basic free education under the Chief Obafemi Awolowo, at the old Western Region in the search of the proverbial Golden Fleece.

When he arrived Lagos, after being a houseboy in Ibadan for some years, the late man of God, Felix Oluyemi aka Baba Olomi and Founder of the Kingdom of Love Church of Christ, Lagos was reportedly an Okada rider for a while.

Christianity Etc › Why You Should Always Be Yourself by ACKCITY(op): 3:51pm On Jan 01, 2017
I have noticed the trend of believe of many people; most people will rather follow the multitude in their thinking and pattern of living rather than be focused on what God has said in the bible. People generally term those who can stand alone "anti-social" or "unpopular".

Don't be afraid of people of people because they have wealth or power, fear only the Lord your God who not only has the power to give wealth and power but can also give and take life. The bible has something interesting to say about this:

In Isaiah 8: 11, "The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does" (NLT)

All human beings have the ability to think and reason in their own way. We all have our independent mind especially when it comes to the things of God. The bible is the general guardian for all human who wants to be sure of what God has said pertaining to a particular issue.

It doesn't matter if it is your pastor that said a particular thing, why not confirm from the bible to see if what your pastor called the truth is actually the truth? That is why we have the ability to read, and understand. God gave all of us this ability; it is only those who do not want to find out the truths that are reluctant to confirm what the bible says about a particular matter.


The bible is written in several translations so that we can understand the meaning of what God is telling us in order not to be confused about a particular kind of language used in one version.

So why won’t people like to read their bible?

Many people are reluctant to read their bible because they don't want to be perceived as being "holy" while others don't read their bible because they find it uninteresting, many don't read the bible because they feel it's not meant for them. They will rather go to church on Sunday and listen to their pastor preach.

But the bible is one of the best materials on earth; it contains great warrior stories much captivating with suspense than many epic movies and great adventure novels.

So Isaiah went on to tell us this message from God, saying, "Don't call everything a conspiracy like they do, and don't live in dread of what frightens them. Make the Lord of Heaven's Armies holy in your life. He is the One who should make you tremble. He will keep you safe" Isaiah 8:12-13 (NLT).

Don't mind people who laugh at you because you serve God; ignore those who think you shouldn't serve God because they feel you are a sinner or because you don't follow their own kind of doctrines. Don't because of their doctrines abandon God. Or ignore your service to God's work because of they say.

Look let me tell you, what God is after is your heart. Your true state of heart is what interests God. He is not even after whether you smoke or drink. He is after the true state of your heart.

He has clearly stated what sin is and He clearly gave us His commandments. Once you keep all these commandments and you worship and serve Him truly with the whole of your heart, He will save you from all forms of destruction including diseases and poverty.

Smoking and drinking can lead to sin, if after smoking or drinking you go out and fight, quarrel, murder, rape, commit adultery, fornicate or tell lies. But I tell you this truth, it's not only those who smoke and drink that commit all these sins, even those who don't smoke or drink sin; they worship idols and fornicate and deny God. You state of heart and position of mind is what is important to God not what you eat or drink.

Many people sin everyday even pastors commit sins. The bible says in Ecclesiastes 7: 20, "Not a single person on earth is always good or never sins" (NLT)

Christianity Etc › Who Is A Hypocrite by ACKCITY(op): 3:23pm On Jan 01, 2017
Hypocrites are liars, slanderers and dishonest people. A hypocrite is someone who pretends to have certain beliefs or opinions that they do not really have. Hypocritical is behaving in a way that is different from what you claim to believe (Longman dictionary of contemporary English)

In his letter to Timothy a leader of the church during his time, Paul said in 1 Timothy 4:1-4 (NLT) , “Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead.

“They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanks by faithful people who know the truth. Since everything God created is good, we should not reject any of it but receive it with thanks. For we know it is made acceptable by the word of God and prayer.

Christianity Etc › Prayer Power (job 14:7-8) by ACKCITY(op): 8:37am On Dec 02, 2016
“Greatness is a function of wisdom; the wiser you are the better you live, a man is not old until he stops learning; learning therefore is the key to greatness. Join Yemi Davids on the journey into the world of greatness. Achieve Greatness!

Thank God for that scripture; it is likened to a tree that has dried up and has stopped producing fruit. But as we worship Him, a fresh pipe is now attached to the tree and water is supply and the tree that was just dry suddenly began to produce and I saw flourishing.

Job 14:7 “Even a tree has more hope! If it is cut down, it will sprout again and grow new branches. Though its roots have grown old in the earth and its stump decays, at the scent of water it will bud and sprout again like a new seedling.”

It was this scent of water that I saw that was now re-connected to that dyeing tree and now that tree will sprout again in the name of Jesus Christ to produce fruit again, halleluiah!



And that’s what happens whenever we worship God. I know sometimes when we worship God in church, some of us maybe tired, maybe you don’t know the songs. Anytime you are in church like that and those songs are going on and you don’t know it; just stay, talk to your God but in the atmosphere, there is a cloud; a cloud moving and then you don’t want to miss your portion. Things happens, spiritual things happen, deliverance, healing, things that you don’t even know, until you get home, the next day you notice some new things happening to you. Those things are gotten in God’s presence. Because anytime we are in His presence like that and it’s so thick, healing takes place, deliverance and for the future, certain things are put in place, structured, things that were out of place, God begins to arrange them. When you are worshiping Him, He begins to get busy on your behalf. So never ever get tired of worship. Glory to God!

Define or decide what you really want. Many people come to church and when it’s time for prayer, they just drift. They do a general prayer, but for anything to be dynamic it has to be specific. Articulate your desire.

When I got born-again, because of the kind of setting we got born-again in, we use to get scared of asking God for things because it looks like, all those things are from the “Queen of the Coast”, you know, those beautiful cars in those days, people use to say they are from the “Queen of the Coast”. We assumed any beautiful things were from the devil. So then, we had problems asking God for things because of this funny believes behind our minds that; what if God doesn’t want me to have it. Somehow, people are always scared of asking God for things.

And yet in scriptures; Mark 11: 24 “I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours”

So don’t be afraid to ask God that I want to be great. I want to be a blessing to my family. Don’t be afraid to articulate. Look God is a sea that never dries up!

For some of us, we go to that river with one small spoon and what you can carry there is what you get. How many buckets of water will you take from the ocean and that it will dry up?

Enlarge your hearts; what things so ever you desire. Because, there are some things you’ve already attained, it’s time to expand your desire.

Matthew 7:7

Christianity Etc › Prayer And Enthusiasm Brings Favorable Results (nehemiah: Chapter 2-4) by ACKCITY(op): 1:31pm On Nov 23, 2016
"At last the wall was completed to half it's height around the entire city, for the people had worked with enthusiasm" Nehemiah 4:6

The story in Nehemiah chapter 2-4 took place after the Israelites had returned to Judah but were not making progress because they couldn't pray to God; they had no temple were they could make sacrifices unto God because the temple had be destroyed and the walls of Jerusalem had fallen. They couldn't build back the wall.

They were sad, lived in anguish though in their own towns. The only way out for them is to seek God's face, but how when they don't have a temple were they will pray and make sacrifices unto God. So they needed to urgently rebuild the temple and even the walls of the city to save them from enemies.

Christianity Etc › Living An Ungodly Life by ACKCITY(op): 8:17am On Nov 22, 2016
The same happens to all those who forget God, the hopes of the godless evaporate. Their confidence hangs by a thread. They are leaning on a spider’s web. They cling to their home for security, but it won’t last.

They try to hold it tight, but it will not endure. The godless seem like a lush plant growing in the sunshine, it’s branches spreading across the garden. It’s roots grow down through a pile of stones; it takes hold on a bed of rocks.

But when it is uprooted, it’s as though it never existed! That’s the end of it’s life and others spring up from the earth to replace it. But look, God will not reject a person of integrity, nor will he lend a hand to the wicked.
He will once again fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy. Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, and the home of the wicked will be destroyed.

For the godless are barren. Their homes, enriched through bribery, will burn. They conceive trouble and give birth to evil. Their womb produces deceit(Job 15:34-35)

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth our her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. (Jeremiah 17:78)

Christianity Etc › The Wicked Shall Be Destroyed (psalm 52) by ACKCITY(op): 4:28pm On Nov 13, 2016
Many people boasts of their wicked acts, you may often hear some people saying, “you don’t know me, I am very bad, I can do this and do that”. Some others don’t bother saying it, but their action proves it, they live in wickedness to their own destruction. Lying is deceptive and destructive.

Every evil and wicked act will not go unpunished, but the righteous shall be rewarded; hear what God says about the wicked in the book of Psalm chapter 52.

“Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior? Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever? All day long you plot destruction. Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor; you’re an expert at telling lies. You love evil more than good and lies more than truth. You love to destroy others with your words, you liar!


But God will strike you down once and for all. He will pull you from your home and uproot you from the land of the living. The righteous will see it and be amazed. They will laugh and say, “Look what happens to mighty warriors who do not trust in God. They trust in their wealth instead and grow and more bold in their wickedness.

Christianity Etc › What Is True Repentance? by ACKCITY(op): 11:28am On Nov 07, 2016
Repentance is when you are sorry for something you have done. In this year, if we must recover everything which we had lost as individuals, ministers, church, business owners, career people, we must understand that one of the major steps that is needed to recover all is true repentance.

Ezra 9: 1-5 "Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians and the Amorites. For they have taken for themselves and their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass. And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonished. Then were assembled unto me everyone that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice. And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the Lord my God"

Christianity Etc › Prayers Of A Warrior by ACKCITY(op): 10:39am On Nov 03, 2016
God makes available to us some powerful prayers which we can use to pray to and defeat our enemies. In the Old Testament, lots of great men of God did exploits using some of these prayers which as Christians and users of the Holy Bible we also have access to these prayers, but many Christians are not aware of this prayer resources which they can use to overcome problems in the various aspects of their life.

CITY Pastor has compiled one of such prayers for the use of our readers to help them defeat their enemies.

David was a great warrior, king, author, song writer and poet. Let's see one of the prayers which he used to overcome his enemies when he was having a bad time in his life. Read it out over and over again and you will see God taking up your fights for you.


Prayer for deliverance against enemy oppression
"O Lord, oppose those who oppose me. Fight those who fight against me. Put on Your armor, and take up Your shield. Prepare for battle, and come to my aid. Lift up Your spear and javelin against those who pursue me.


Let me hear you say, "I will give you victory!"

Bring shame and disgrace on those trying to kill me; turn them back and humiliate those who want to harm me.


Blow them away like chaff in the wind- a wind sent by the angel of the Lord. Make their path dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.


I did them no wrong, but they laid a trap for me. I did them no wrong, but they dug a pit to catch me.

So let sudden ruin come upon them! Let them be caught in the trap they set for me! Let them be destroyed in the pit they dug for me!


Then I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be glad because He rescues me. With every bone in my body I will praise Him: "Lord, who can compare with You" Who else rescues the helpless and poor from those who rob them?"

Malicious witnesses testify against me. They accuse me of crimes I know nothing about. They repay me evil for good. I am sick with despair. Yet when they were ill, I grieved for them. I denied myself by fasting for them, but my prayers returned unanswered.

Christianity Etc › The Lord Is My Shelther by ACKCITY(op): 10:36am On Oct 19, 2016
Psalm 91

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished.


If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near home. For He will order His angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in My name. when they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation

Today’s prayer

I thank You Lord for being my shelter, , because I put my trust in You all the time, I shall rest in Your abode. Your divine protection is upon all that I have, my household, my business and my health. Please rescue me from enemies whose plan is to hurt and disgrace me. Let me find favor in all I lay my hands upon. I bless Your name forever, amen.

Christianity Etc › Anyone Who Refuses The Truth Will Not Go To Heaven by ACKCITY(op): 9:50am On Oct 18, 2016
And when Jesus said it’s time for me to go, Satan said to Jesus, “Jesus, you are wasting your time”, he said, “Your people you died for, I have captured them with prophecies”, he said, “these things you are doing, taking people to come and see hell and heaven, no matter what you do, they will not believe because they are doomed”.

And Jesus said, “Go and tell my people, I will not change my word for nobody, anyone that fails to do my will; men of God who fails to preach my whole truth, to listen to my warnings and change their ways, and women who refuses to change their appearance and dress decently, none who refuses to obey my whole truth will come to heaven. (That’s why He gave us the Bible).


Anything you are told in the church and you don’t believe, ask God, and tell God, “Speak to me if this thing is true”

If you miss heaven, my brothers, my sisters, hell is so painful; you will regret your life on earth.

And when Jesus said father Abraham should take me back home and father Abraham was bringing me back to earth.

These two people; father Abraham and father Moses; I like them in the bible, I had always imagined seeing them and I am happy Jesus let me see them.

Father Abraham died several thousands of years ago but he is still young now, like a young baby, he is young and fresh, because of the glory of heaven. In heaven you don’t grow old, you don’t fall sick, you don’t have stress.

Father Abraham gave me a word of courage and not a message; father Abraham did not give me message, just a word of courage.

He said, “my daughter, tell the people in the world that Satan is a liar, tell them to believe Jesus”, he said, “the time is near, we are preparing for you. Please tell them, we want them all, let them believe in Jesus”

Christianity Etc › Importance Of Good Offering by ACKCITY(op): 10:21am On Oct 16, 2016
Giving is important to every individual and even organization, the more you give, the more you receive. Have you wondered why corporate organizations give to customers and clients at certain period of the year? Because to whom that more is given to, more is expected. Even in the spiritual realm, the more you give to God the more you receive. Come to think of it, why do we find it so difficult giving to God? A lot of people will prefer to spend millions on frivolous things like sex, cars and houses but given ordinary hundreds to the ministry of God is usually a problem that tends to make many to think so much before they give.


Let's take a deeper study of what Solomon did in the books of Chronicles. In the 2 Chronicles 7:4, Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep and goats. I am going to be very logical in trying to explain this verse. We know that in the days of the Old Testament, the true people of God, the people dear after God's heart made offerings of their best stocks, so Solomon must have offered the bests of his cattle, sheep and goats.

Assuming that 1 matured cow in Nigeria costs about N150, 000.00 (One hundred and fifty thousand naira) or about $1000(One thousand USD), then 22,000 cattle would cost about N3, 300,000,000 (3.3 billion naira) or $21,710,526.32, or approximately 22 million dollars. If a goat or sheep costs N10,000.00 (Ten thousand naira) or about 70 dollars per sheep or goat, then 120,000 goats and sheep would cost about N1,200,000,000 (1.2 billion naira) or $7,894,736.84 (approximately 8 million USD).

If our figures are correct, then the cost cattle, sheep and goats that Solomon sacrificed to God on that day would be N3,300,000,000 (3.3billion naira) + N1,200,000,000 (N1.2 billion naira) totaling about N4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion naira) or about 30 million USD
Read Malachi 3:10-12

Christianity Etc › Pink Lips And Tattoo Is Straight Ticket To Hell- Sister Linda by ACKCITY(op): 1:38pm On Oct 04, 2016
All these men, particularly youths that wears dreadlocks, one of the demons I saw in hell has dreadlocks.

Barbing of some kind of haircuts, sagging of trousers, showing your brief, using of earrings, plaiting of hair, sleeping with fellow guys and girls, belonging to a club, drinking, smoking, putting on tattoos, if you don’t change and come to God now, you are going to hell, no mercy.

If you don’t repent, you young men, am speaking to you, you say “it’s fashion, and my hair has nothing to do with this; this dreads, barbs that you cut both sides and leave the center is an evil haircut.

Don’t do it, stop looking at fashion, be a gentleman, you sag your trousers, tattoo your whole body, put on earrings, and plait your hair, wanting to be like a woman.

Christianity Etc › See How Pastors Use Handkerchiefs To Initiate Followers Into Demonic Camps by ACKCITY(op): 9:26am On Sep 30, 2016
Jesus showed me when Stan was ordaining some of these pastors, they will bow to Satan and Satan will lay hands on them, and Satan gives them handkerchiefs.

Devices of Pastors to Ordain Members for Satan Kingdom

Beware of handkerchiefs, “my pastor gives me this handkerchief, they selling handkerchief in churches”. Handkerchiefs are not of Jesus; when you put your faith on the handkerchief that a man of God gives you, it is evil practice.


Handkerchiefs and oil is what Satan uses to ordain, he puts strange powers in these oil. That’s why you often see some pastors call people to bring their oil while they dilute it with theirs and say it is pure. Be careful of this oil; these anointing oil, water, holy water.

You refuse to drink any other water, only holy water, be careful; you are nailing yourself under Satan’s feet. These are all things of the devil to take your mind out of God.

You will just follow these pastors and evil practices.

Salt: putting of salt in water and sprinkling around the house- be careful!

Communion: I saw Satan ordaining communion, Satan even gave some of these men of God communion juice that is polluted, that’s why their members are no longer of their own minds; they like these men of God and churches so much, no matter what prophecy you hear about them, you fight for them.

Fight for yourself! Some of you will say, “I will die with my pastor, I believe that pastor, they are lying against him”. You don’t know these communion, these anointing, handkerchiefs is what they use to take your sense away from you.

They are manipulating you with these things.

You will see a pastor put his hand in his pocket and wave it and people will start falling down and you say it’s miracle, that pocket has power!

Candles: “come with candle, pray on candles”, and for the Catholics they pray with candles and images, they are just casting spells on them.

Jess showed me where Satan was giving these evil gloves to men of God. Men of God have these invisible gloves and when they go to church, they lay hands on people with the evil gloves.

All of us have the glory of God on our head, be careful of your head.

When they lay hands on you, they take your glory, and leave a stamp on you that you won’t know (an evil stamp saying- “this one is a candidate of Satan, a candidate of hell).

Christianity Etc › Humility And Obedience Brings Favor by ACKCITY(op): 9:14am On Sep 29, 2016
Humility will brings you before kings, it brings you before people of authority, it gives you keys to some doors. When you are humble, people will love to associate with you and they will honor you.

After King Xerxes have decreed and banned Queen Vasthi from his presence, he sought a woman, and his advisers went to look for a beautiful virgin for the king.

So some beautiful virgins across the town were selected including Esther. The women would be taken to the king’s palace and trained for a period of time. When their time comes, they are taken into the king’s private rooms; the next day they are taken to another place and would never see the king again unless the king requested for them by name.


So when it was Esther’s turn, she took advice from Haggai, the king’s bodyguard, she accepted Hegai’s advice.

Esther 2:15B, 17 “When it was Esther’s turn to go to the king, she accepted the advice of Hegai, the eunuch in charge of harem. She asked for nothing except what he suggested, and she was admired by everyone who saw her. And the king loved Esther more than any of the other young women. He was so delighted with her that he set the royal crown on her head and declared her queen instead of Vashti”

That’s what favor and humility does! Remember, the other girls were virgin too just like Esther. But she was favored because she took advice from the king’s bodyguard and she obeyed the instruction, she was humble enough not to look down at the king's body guard.
