“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, WHICH WE PREACH”—Romans 10: 8

I had attended Church meetings right from my childhood. But suffice to say, that for all those many years, I never knew what true Christianity was really all about. Until I heard the testimonies of my cousin-Prince Aniobi- who got into a denomination that preaches the WORD OF FAITH…

Who eventually got baptized in the Holy Ghost, and started practicing what he was taught as a lifestyle. And as a result, the testimonies he always shared with me, each time we got in contact, were totally dumbfounding and staggering. Yet they were very true. In fact, the evidences were undeniable.

So eventually, with time, as God will have it, I finally decided to give my life totally to God and toe the line of faith- for the rest of my life. And like my cousin, I joined the same denomination he worships at. After my first meeting in the branch I worshipped, we were informed of the Foundation Class. Where we would receive the baptism in the Holy Ghost, with the Biblical evidence of speaking in Other Tongues…

I excitedly went for it, with great expectations. After the Holy Ghost baptismal class and prayer sessions, I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other Tongues- along with others.

And like my cousin, as I continued attending the services and applying all I was hearing, I started duplicating the same results my cousin was getting…

I started living a sickness free, hospital free and drug free life. I started daring the things I could never dare before then, and coming out of all of them victorious by the special grace of God.

The few folks that are very close to me, who saw how I lived my life by faith, and eventually followed suit, started duplicating my testimonies-by the grace of God- especially in their health.

One of such person that is still actively living in the same testimony of perfect health till date, is my lovely wife to be- my fiancée. And by the special grace of God, I’m still enjoying a sickness free, hospital free and drug free life-amongst several other miraculous testimonies till date…

But that is not to say, I never had some challenging situations that God allowed to strengthen my faith in him. I had gotten several trying times, but the Lord God has always been faithful to always give me a way out of all of them.

Because just as my Pastor-Dr. David Oyedepo- says, “It is scriptural to be challenged, but it is unscriptural to be defeated”.

In my country, many Christians are getting access to this supernatural lifestyle (the lifestyle of faith) on a daily basis, and are eternally grateful to God for it.

But eventually, since the Lord led me to start ministering the word of Righteousness and Faith- that he has given me- in the Internet, I have been (and still) aghast and bewildered at many “supposed believers” reactions to the Word of Faith.

Any biblical truth that is related to the Word of Faith, has continually received a great bashing. Yet the entire Bible- Both old and new testament- speaks of only one thing, and that is- THE WORD OF FAITH.

The other time, as I shared a message on prosperity from the revelation the Lord gave me, I received several bashing. In short, one of those commentator- with an unscriptural zeal- went as far as saying; “Give to receive garbage, is just that- garbage”.

As she wrote that, I quickly pointed out the implication of what her comment was insinuating. I pointed out to her that by making such a statement, she had inadvertently said Jesus was preaching garbage…

Because Jesus personally said; “Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bossom…” (Luke 6:38).

As she saw this hard cold truth, she just put up a baseless defense and from that time, she had been avoiding my posts. Though, I couldn’t careless, if someone avoids me for saying the truth.

If the whole gospel is to be summarized in a three word phrase, it is going to be “Word Of Faith” as the Apostle Paul rightly called it in our opening scripture (Rom 10:.

What baffles me the most about these folks that kick against the Word of Faith -that is totally scriptural-is that they wholeheartedly believe and adhere to many anti-scriptural doctrines.

Most of them who believe that by their kicking against The Word of Faith, are the Holiest, are the meanest people you could ever converse with. From what I have observed, most of them have long tongue- which is definitely not a holy virtue.

Hence, by this article, I’m here to clear the air concerning what the Word of Faith is truly about and what it is not. I’m here to point out clearly and boldly that the Word of Faith is absolutely scriptural. As can be seen in the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ; The Acts of The Apostles; The Epistles of Paul the Apostle and the rest…

The entire book of Philippians, Galatians and Hebrews are dedicated to the Word of Faith. In short, Jesus reacted disappointedly to unbelief. The scriptures says, “He could not do much mighty works in a particular city as a result of the people’s unbelief” (Matt 13:58).

From scriptures, it is very clear that one of the greatest sin against God is unbelief. It was what made God to destroy most of the Children of Israel in the wilderness. Especially those that went to spy out the Promised Land and brought back unbelieving reports to God (Numbers 14).

Misconceptions About The Word Of Faith

Many people are against The Word of Faith Movement as a result of some misconceptions. For some, they believe the preachers of the Word of Faith are self-exalting. But on the contrary, that’s not it. Instead, when the preachers share their testimonies, they do so to encourage your faith…

When a Word of Faith Practitioner, charges the afflicted not to confess the bad situation they’re going through, they are in essence trying to help the brother or sister trust the LORD for speedy intervention.

The Word of Faith Practitioner, is never in any way meaning that he/she never goes through any challenge. But they are in essence telling you that whatever contrary situation you’re going through, is not the best of God for you (if it is, then you must ensure God told you so)…

They are only trying to lend a helping hand by trying to stir up your faith with their words. Even when some of the words are provocative, they only want to provoke you into a kind of righteous indignation, so you can quickly come out of the affliction.

I have personally seen these kind of righteous and lovely rebukes, work great and speedy miracles in the lives of some of my friends; as I charged them amidst their afflictions- and they are righteously provoked.

I can go on and on talking about the humongous benefits of the Word of Faith Movement, only that I want to be as concise as possible.
So in conclusion, I want to exhort that, if you have been having anything against The Word of Faith- probably out of misconceptions- quickly desist from it. Because to have or say anything against The Word of Faith, is to be speaking against the entire scriptures…

It is to be speaking against Jesus and His Holy Spirit- who is the Author and Finisher of our Faith.

Agreed-there are many fakes as much as there are so many genuine practitioners. But be that as it may, it is not a yardstick to holistically discredit the Word and the supernatural manifestations of the Almighty God. To do that, is to be falling into one of the most proliferating end time sin; which is, “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof” (2 Timothy 3:5).

May you never fall into this trap in the mighty name of Jesus! May the Lord help your understanding and faith in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!

“For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief; Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have MERCY UPON ALL”—Romans 11:30-32

The word ‘Mercy’ is from the Greek word “eleos”, meaning- compassion (either human or divine, especially active). But as it concerns this sermon, we’ll be discussing about only the divine aspect of compassion—The Mercy of God.

Mercy is an offshoot of the grace of God that brings salvation, that hath appeared to all men through the death and resurrection of Christ (Titus 2:11). And from our opening scripture above, and other scriptures, it is a clear fact that the mercy of God is for all and sundry…

That is, for the believers, as well as the unbelievers- even for the so-called atheists. The Bible says, it is because of the mercy of God, we’re not consumed (Lamentations 3:22a). And that accounts for why an atheist was not consumed by God, when he, in the midst of a debate with preachers, just got up at once and declared; “If there is God, let me die in the next 2 minutes” and after 2 minutes was over, he was still alive…

And that was because his compassion never fails (Lamentation 3: 22b). The fact that that particular man did not die after making that statement, does not really mean there is no God, as many erroneously believe. It was because- as his word says- He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Pet 3:9).

But inasmuch as it is a scriptural truth that God is a merciful God, so many folks and denominations, have pushed this issue of God’s mercy into some erroneous, doctrinal tangents.

For some, because God is a merciful God, they believe they can just go on sinning, and God will always forgive them in advance; even without any form of remorse or repentance. And on the other tangent, some others fear God’s judgment so much, that as soon as they commit a sin- especially the extreme ones- they don’t believe God can actually have mercy on them, if they confess and genuinely repent of their sins.

Instead, they just condemn themselves. Some even go to the extent of becoming agnostic. And the very worst of all, some even go off to the extreme, by committing the unpardonable sin. Which is, wilfully and understandingly, cursing God and his Christ (Heb 10:26-31).
These two erroneous doctrinal tangents, is what this sermon seeks to address…

Tangent 1: “God Is Merciful- He will Always Forgive, Even If I Don’t Repent!”

A few days back, the story of a Pastor, whom God was using to perform signs and wonders, was related to me by a Pastor, whom I shared this message with. According to him, this particular Pastor whom he knows, was into chains of adultery with some women…

But in spite of that, during his meetings, God will still perform his signs and wonders amongst his people. But this particular Pastor, remained recalcitrant (unrepentant) in his sin. And to show the extent of God’s grace and mercy upon this very Pastor, in one of such meetings that this Pastor was ministering, a dead body was brought down from the mortuary…

And as the Pastor ministered, the dead body came back to life. According to the story, as the dead body came back to life, the said Pastor started crying, instead of getting excited at the miracle.

And as inquiries was made, the Pastor confessed to have slept with a 19yrs old girl the very night before the meeting, who walked into his hotel room naked. Hence, he was embarrassed by the fact that God could still work miracles through him under such a state…

But regardless, he didn’t know that at the same time, his cup was full to the brim. Because according to the story, after that incident, a few weeks later, as the Pastor was holding a meeting, all the women he had slept with, walked up to the podium; interrupted the meeting and exposed the Pastor’s escapades to the congregation.

And that incident, eventually ended his ministry for good. I can go on and on, narrating the pitiable stories of so many folks who subscribe to the false teachings of “God is Merciful-He will always forgive, even if I do not acknowledge and repent of it.”

These folks take the grace and mercy of God for granted; and in the long-run (sometimes in the short-run), the natural laws of God, catches up with them and they begin to suffer and regret.

The preachers of such doctrines such as above, are under a very strong delusion from the kingdom of darkness. While some others are preaching and teaching it to suit their lifestyles. But for sure, if they do not repent soon, God will judge them with everlasting shame.
To such individuals preaching and practicing the above erroneous doctrine, the God of truth says; “Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and lonsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentace?” (Romans 2:4).

Tangent 2: “This Sin Is Too Much For God To Forgive!”

On this other tangent, these group of people have been taught the truth of God’s word, they know what sin is all about, and its consequences. In short, they have practiced righteousness with all sincerity and passion. They have preached it, with evidence of God’s confirmation to show for it…

But along the line, in some feat of temptation that was not planned for- or that their flesh moved them to fall into- as they fall into sin, they just call it quit on God. They just believe God can never forgive them again. “After all, I knew very well, it was a sin, even when I was doing it”- they protest to themselves…

“A whole me!” some brag. And before you know it, they’ve totally backslidden from the faith. Some even become agnostic. Some become renegades by joining non-Christian religions. Some go into long time melancholy and even end up mad, as a result of self-condemnation.
Then the very extreme of this case, are the ones who eventually commit the unpardonable sin, by cursing God and his Christ. Then make up their minds wilfully and understandingly, never to have anything to do with God ever.

But these oft not to be so, it is a good (even the best) thing to love God, promote and practice righteousness according to scriptural truth. But when you do err or fall into sin (either because of your flesh or whatever), you must humble yourself, and take advantage of the provisions of God for forgiveness…

By sincerely acknowledging your sin, repenting and asking God for forgiveness (1 John 1:8-10). A wise man says (and I believe him) that; “Great men are not those who never fall, but those who always stand up immediately they fall.” No matter the degree of the sin, God can still forgive you, so long you acknowledge it and ask for mercy from God.

And you don’t have to pay for it with anything either- except you’re recalcitrant (unrepentant)…

To this end, God says; “I will have mercy and not sacrifice” (Matt 9:13). If there is a scar, just accept the responsibility after repentance. Don’t add sin upon sin. For instance, if you fornicated or committed adultery and there is pregnancy, don’t add another one to it by committing abortion.

Just repent from where you are. To this second set of people, who Love (or loved) the Lord, Fear (or feared) him and kept his commandments, the God of mercy says; “And his mercy is on them that fear him, from generation to generation.” (Lk 1:50; Psalms 103:8-18).

So in conclusion, God is indeed a merciful God, but his mercy should not be taken for granted and treated with levity. And on the other hand, fear the Lord and diligently keep his commandments at all times. But as you do that, if you fall for or into any sin, always remember that his mercy is available to you; as you genuinely acknowledge the sin, confess, repent and ask for forgiveness.

Never let anything or sin, ever make you throw in the towel (give up) on God and his word of righteousness. If you fall 1 million times, repent 1 million times, get up and run the race to the end. So long you still have life, there is still hope, if you repent and return to God and his truth.
If you’ve already given up on God, here is another clarion call from God, from his infinite mercy- to return to him and his righteousness…

I for one, I have totally made up my mind, that come what may, I must make heaven and escape the inferno of hell. Hence, I have decided that no matter how many times I fall, I will confess, repent, ask for and receive mercy and forgiveness. And carry on with God and his word of righteousness and faith…

That is the mindset of the saintliest saint you’ve ever seen or heard of. It is not that they never fall, but they are quick to repent and accept God’s mercy immediately they fall.

So I urge you to make the same quality decision right now. And as you do, God will eternally help and bless you in Jesus Mighty Name!
If you want to give your life to Christ or rededicate your heart to Christ, say this prayer; “Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. And I accept you into my heart as my Lord and personal Savior. Write my name in the Lamb’s book of life. Thank you for accepting and saving me, in Jesus Name!”

Remain Blessed!

Sup bro...will like to see your first post

Being going through a battle like this since 2013

I will pm you need some things sorted out

Brother, I just replied your pm.

and here is the link of my previous post: http://www.righteousfaith.net/?p=239 you can copy and paste on your browser.

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our Faith”—1 John 5:4

This article is a continuation of my previous thread titled; “Mysterious Spiritual Battles”. In that particular post, I gave a detail of how I encountered some mysterious spiritual attacks, and how the Lord gave me deliverance at each instances. And even opened my understanding to the open door that gave way to the spiritual attacks in my life.

But however, I did say that, even after the Lord revealed to me the root cause of the attacks, the attacks didn’t end there. Although it was mitigated after I received the revelation and asked for mercy…

But while I was sitting in my office one particular day, during the period of the spiritual battles- after receiving forgiveness for the sin God revealed to me- a word just flowed to my mind; “palliative”. I believe it came from the Holy Spirit…

When that word came to my mind, I didn’t know its meaning, so as it kept on coming to my mind, I decided to check it up with the dictionary. It was then I discovered that it means- removing pains, but yet leaving the source of the pain.

As I got that, I quickly related it to the battle I was involved in. So I figured God was alerting me to the fact that, I needed to attack the major source of the attacks, even after dealing with the root cause. But then, I didn’t know the source, so I kept asking God to show me the source, so I could totally finish it.

As I kept asking, God seemed to be silent about the issue, and the same word “palliative” kept resounding in my mind. So I just decided to take the offensive side in my prayers, against the source of the spiritual attacks by praying against them in my understanding and extensively in other tongues- until I got the total victory.

In one of such nights after effective prayers before sleeping, in my revelational dream, I saw a renowned Deliverance Minister in my country-Dr. Daniel Olukoya- giving a talk about the activities of witches and wizards amongst saints. Then in that dream, he concluded his talks by saying he was going to meet the leader of the witches in town, as he heard he was in town.

After getting that revelation, I woke up at midnight; and on my ceiling, was the noise of one black pussy cat that have been consistently disturbing my ceiling and my neighbors’ for some time…

Only that I have been ignoring it, thinking it was just a normal pussy cat, and I shouldn’t be superstitiously praying against an ordinary pussy cat- as I thought before that fateful night.

But that particular night, as I woke up from my revelational dream, the disturbance of that black pussy cat on my ceiling, got to me in an unusual way. So I prayed a kind of prayer I usually hate to pray…

I just pointed my hand to the ceiling of my house and declared; “Die! In Jesus Name!” I waited for a few seconds and as I listened, the noise of the pussy cat continued. So I decided to speak in tongues against it. I spoke in tongues against it for about 1 or 2 minutes. After a while, I discovered the noise had completely stopped (And I have not heard the noise of that cat till now- to the glory of God).

So after that my episode with the pussy cat, I slept off again. As I was sleeping, all of a sudden, the Holy Spirit alerted me to wake up at the very instance of a confederate attack by hundreds of evil spirits (As I discerned in my spirit, and from the noise of the attack)…

Immediately I woke up at the instance of the Spirit’s prompting, I started speaking in other tongues; and as I discerned in my spirit, many of the forces were falling into the river with allots of casualties. I believe that night, the kingdom of darkness suffered allots of casualties as I spoke in tongues against them by the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus.

And since that particular encounter, I discovered that all the attacks completely ceased. And that was how I finally got my sweet victory over the mysterious attacks of the dark kingdom.

And having gotten my victory, I would want to share my success strategies with anyone out there, who might be facing one spiritual attack or the other. So they can employ these scriptural, spiritual strategies anytime they are faced with any attack from the dark kingdom.

Because the truth remains that, these forces are never relenting in their fight against mankind-Christians in particular. The Bible says; “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” –John 10:10.

How To Win Mysterious Spiritual Battles

To win mysterious spiritual battles, you have to follow all or some of these steps for guaranteed victory.

1. Be Born Again: The first step to winning mysterious spiritual battles, is to receive Jesus as your Lord and Personal Savior. God will only fight for and defend his children. So in case you’re not yet born again, or you’re just playing church and religion, make up your mind now to truly accept Jesus as your Lord and Personal Savior- so he can take over your battles.

2. Repent Of Every Known and Revealed Sin: Like I said in my recent thread, at the root of over 90% spiritual attacks, is sin. So to win over 90% of the battles, repent of every known sin. In case you can’t think of any known sin in your life presently, ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal to your understanding, any sin that might be opening doors to the attacks of the enemy.

If there is one, he’ll reveal it. But after asking fervently and he doesn’t reveal any to you, just know the attack is not as result of sin. If the Holy Spirit does not reveal any sin to you, don’t go and dig up one yourself. And don’t allow the devil to deceive you into believing that there must be a secret sin in you. If there is any sin you’re not aware of, the Holy Spirit will reveal it to you. So don’t accept the fallacy of secret sin.

For instance, if you’re involved in sexual sin (such as: Adultery, Fornication, Masturbation and Sodomy etc), repent of it quickly. According to Rev. J.P Timmons, sexual sin opens door for fatal spiritual attacks into the lives of many Ministers of the gospel.

And as a result, many a Minister, have died prematurely; some have even ran mad, and instead of them being taken to deliverance ministers to conduct deliverance on them, they have been permanently committed to the asylum…

Just because the denominations doesn’t want embarrassment.

3. The Whole Armor of God: The whole Armor of God can be seen as listed in Ephesians 6: 14-18. Which are: Truth, Righteousness, Shield of Faith, Helmet of Salvation, Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God and prayers…

A detail of these armors can easily make up a book, so I won’t be able to go into the details here. Rev. J.P Timmons book, “Mysterious Secrets of The Dark Kingdom” does a great job in teaching about these whole armor of God, and other spiritual warfare strategies. So I encourage you to get a copy of the book.

4. Spiritual Gifts: During this my period of spiritual warfare, God helped me a great deal, as I engaged spiritual gifts on the spiritual battlefield. Especially the Word of Knowledge/Wisdom, Discernment of Spirits and speaking in Tongues (Prayer Language)…

These battles are mysterious, and as such, they require mysteries to be won. For instance, the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:2, that “he that speaks in unknown Tongues (Praying Language) Speaketh Mysteries…” And that is why we must desire or covet to receive all the spiritual gifts in scriptures.

Especially and primarily, the gift of speaking and praying in other tongues. Praying in tongues paves way for the manifestation of the other spiritual gifts. In this period of warfare, I saw the efficacy of these gifts in action by the help of the Holy Ghost.
5[b]. The Blood of Jesus and Testimonies[/b]: The Bible says in Rev. 12:11 “And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony…

One of the weapons I consistently employed (and still employ) in the period of spiritual warfare, is the blood of Jesus. Every night, before I sleep and when I’m in the midst of a spiritual battle, I would plea the blood of Jesus over myself and my house. Sometimes, I would take water in a bow, and pray over it to be converted to the blood of Jesus by faith. Then I sprinkle it round my room, door and windows.

Then finally, after getting your victory at each instance, always share your testimony- just as I’m doing now, to the glory of God and to the shame of satan. And by so doing, God will set a seal on your victory forever.

These spiritual warfare strategies listed above, are by no means exhaustive. There are others I could mention. Only that I would want to end here, and allow others to add to this list for the edification of others. So if you have other spiritual, scriptural weapons the Lord have revealed to you for victory against the forces of darkness, you can share it here with us.

Remain Blessed in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

clevvermind:
i met this babe 4 months ago and we have started dating since then. the girl is a very beautiful but one thing i don't like about her is her frequent demands for money and material things. i have spent close to 50 thousand naira on her since we began the relationship. i send her recharge cards everyday, i give her money to make her hair every week, i spend money on lunch and buy gifts for her every week yet she is not satisfied. she said i should send 30000 naira into her account tomorrow before she will go out with me this weekend that she needs the money for her upkeep this coming week and my whole salary for this month is 80000 naira besides, i gave her 7000 naira last two weeks. i'm thinking of dumping her. what should I do?

My dear, that's how it is with the sin of fornication. It is very very expensive and gives absolutely nothing good in return. instead it can even destroy you before you know it.

These are the reasons God gave these commandments in order to save us from stress. If you can make up your mind to stop fornicating with her or any other person for that matter, I bet you would stop wasting your money.

Yes, if you are trying to get someone to marry, you can date without sex, and of course as such, you won't be under any pressure to spend unnecessarily. By the grace of God, I did keep a relationship with a girl I was prospecting to marry for over a year without any sex. Not even a kiss.

But then when we eventually couldn't get along with doctrines, we separated with no body feeling cheated out.

My dear, there is fun in holiness, give your life to Christ now.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

This month of November 2015, is the month God promised me for marriage. Although, due to church processes and procedures, the marriage rites and ceremony have been pushed forward to next year.

But regardless, as a man of faith, I believe this month of November, is the month when my marriage is to be consummated in heaven in the spiritual realm. So naturally, I trusted God to begin to confirm his promises to me, with divers signs and wonders.

According to my faith, by the beginning of this month, God has indeed answered one of my most pressing desires needed for the effectual kick-off of the marriage. But on the other hand, I never expected that the hordes of hell were going to be on the loose against me.

It all started that on the very first day of November 2015- which is my spiritual month of marriage- that after praying in the morning, as I decided to sleep awhile before finally getting up to my normal routine business, that I experienced a very funny nightmare before waking up.
As I awoke, I didn’t pay much attention to it. Because I was oblivious of the fact that it was a satanic attack.

Then the very next morning after that episode, at the very same situation and exact time, as I tried to wake up from my sleep, I found out that in the spirit realm –call it the dream realm- as I tried to leave my bed to go and open my door, a kind of force seemed to drag me back to my original position on my bed. With my hand tightly bound to my pillow in exactly the same way I was holding it before I slept off.

I struggled all I could with that satanic binding power in that spirit realm to wake up out of my sleep. But all my efforts were to no avail. Then finally, after I had exhausted all I knew to do, and was fagged out of struggling with the binding force, in my helpless state, I just said; “Jesus, thou man of war, won’t you save me?”

Immediately I said that, the binding force just loosed its grip; then immediately reached out for my throat, so I won’t continue with my supplication. But then I just struggled to continue pleading for help from the Lord, and within one or two seconds, the force eventually left hold of me completely. And I woke up out of my sleep, totally unhurt physically.

But then, as I awoke from my sleep, apart from being grateful to the Lord for his timely intervention, I was spiritually angry- wondering how those inferior forces could ever get access to me.

So the very next day, with righteous indignation, I made up my mind that I was going to deliberately sleep by the exact same time those forces used to attack me. Let me see if they will still have the nerve to attack me after my prayers, with my faith fully in place.

But surprisingly, after a few minutes of sleeping off, about the same time I was supposed to get up, in the spirit realm, right on top of me, was a dark force exerting pressure on me. Then with my full confidence, I laid hand on the force, and screamed Jesus, Jesus, but all my screams were to no avail (I believe, it’s probably because I was not invoking the name from my spirit, but rather from my mind).

While I was still screaming Jesus, to my dismay, I just found myself floating in the air in the spirit realm. Then all of a sudden, I had a leading in my heart to speak in tongues. As I decided to do that, I found out that there was a binding force to my throat as well, trying to inhibit the utterances from flowing from my spirit to my mouth.

But as soon as I forced myself through to speak out the tongues, with only two or three utterances, I discovered the force lost its grip, then I just quickly screamed “Holy Ghost!” and immediately, I awoke from my sleep.

After that particular episode, I quickly sensed I was under a special satanic attack. And there certainly must be a root cause of it- I thought to myself. And to be very honest, I was even becoming apprehensive.

So I decided I was going to ask God to show me the root cause of the attack- so I could deal with it from the root. Instead of counter-attacking from the defensive side. I prayed earnestly for revelation that night before sleeping…

Then in the morning, as I awoke from my sleep, the Holy Spirit started pouring the revelation of the spiritual door I opened for the attack to my head. He revealed to my thought, like a sermon, on the subject of “pride”. When I perceived that the Holy Spirit was revealing to me that the root cause of my attack was pride, I was confused, because to me then, as I checked through my conscience, and my lifestyle, I couldn’t find anything that related to pride.

But then, eventually, I got to praying and before I got through with my early morning prayers, the revelation was clarified to my mind by the Holy Spirit…

Prior to that time, I had always undermined many testimony I ever heard on people being demonically attacked. And even the preceding Sunday-prior to the series of attacks- I had undermined the testimony of a demonic machination, given in church service by my present church’s General Overseer.

Oblivious to me, the devil and his cohorts, recognized it as a spiritual pride, and probably used it to accuse me before God, and eventually found a loop hole to get close attacks at me.

Then immediately I realized that, I quickly repented of my sin (spiritual pride) and asked God for mercy, then subsequently, the attacks were mitigated-but it certainly didn’t end there…

But a single article such as this, will not be enough to exhaust the story and all the weapons of effective spiritual warfare that I eventually discovered in the process of these series of spiritual battles. I’ll conclude the story and expose these weapons in my subsequent posts. But in the interim, just know that at the root of over 90% spiritual attacks is sin.

And you can begin 90% of the winning process, by asking the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal any form of sin in you. And as he does that, consciously repent of it, and every other known or besetting sin and ask God for forgiveness…

I see God taking over all your spiritual battles from this moment, as you surrender your life to him in total purity, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!

Be re-educated about what exactly?

“As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3: 10, 23

As I begin to debunk this erroneous doctrine of ‘the immaculate conception of Mary’, let me quickly submit that I’m not out for religious bashing. But rather, I’m out with a holy motive of love, to rescue some of our well-meaning, lovely brethren in the Lord. Who are inadvertently indoctrinated into this erroneous doctrine that is obviously very disastrous.

“The 8th of December, 1854, Pope Pius IX was sitting on his throne; a triple crown of gold and diamonds was on his head: silk and damask- red and white vestments on his shoulders; five hundred mitred prelates were surrounding him; and more than fifty thousand people were at his feet in the incomparable St. Peter’s Church of Rome. After a few minutes of most solemn silence, a cardinal, dressed with his purple robe, left his seat, and gravely walked towards the pope, humbly prostrating himself at his feet, and said:

‘Holy Father, tell us if we can believe and teach that the Mother of God, the Holy Virgin Mary, was immaculate in her conception.’
The Supreme Pontiff answered: “I do not know; let us ask the light of the Holy Ghost.”

The cardinal withdrew; the Pope and the numberless multitude fell on their knees; and the harmonious choir sang the ‘Veni Creator Spiritus.’
The last note of the sacred hymn had hardly rolled under the vaults of the temple, when the same cardinal left his place, and again advanced towards the throne of the pontiff, prostrated himself at his feet, and said;

‘Holy Father, tell us if the Holy Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, was immaculate in her conception.’
The pope again answered: ‘I do not know; let us ask the light of the Holy Ghost.’

And again the ‘Veni Creator Spiritus’ was sung.

Again the eyes of the multitude followed the grave steps of the purple- robed cardinal for the third time to the throne of the successor of St. Peter, to ask again:

‘Holy Father, tell us if we can believe that the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God was immaculate.’
The pope, as if he had just received a direct communication from God, answered with a solemn voice:
‘Yes! We must believe that the Blessed Virgin Mary was immaculate in her conception… There is no salvation to those who do not believe this dogma!’

And, with a loud voice, the pope intoned the Te Deum; the bells of the three hundred churches of Rome rang; the cannons of the citadel were fired. The last act of the most ridiculous and sacrilegious comedy the world had ever seen, was over; the doors of heaven were forever shut against those who would refuse to believe the anti-scriptural doctrine that there is a daughter of Eve who has not inherited the sinful nature of Adam.

She was redeclared exempt when the God of Truth said, “There is none righteous; no, not one: for all have sinned!” (Rom. 3:10, 23)
No trace of this teaching is found in the first centuries of the Church.”

(50 Years in the “Church” of Rome, The Conversion of a Priest, by Charles Chiniquy, Chick publications, 1985, pp. 233-234 [c. 1886])
(As quoted in Rebecca Brown’s ‘Prepare For War’)

Dear brethren in the Lord, it is very clear that this doctrine of the immaculate conception of Mary, is unscriptural. The doctrine was enacted without consulting ‘The Book Of Truth’-The Holy Bible. And of course, the Holy Spirit does not speak against scriptural Truths.

We can’t afford to risk our salvation and faith on what man says. No matter his title, position or whatever. Like the Berea Fellows in the book of acts of the Apostle, when we receive an instruction, exhortation or doctrine from our teachers, we should be wise enough to compare them with scriptural truths (Acts 17:11).

Anybody can claim to have heard the Holy Spirit, but for us to be on the safest side, we must compare what we receive with the scriptures. I for one, I do not take everything I’m taught in Church, no matter who it is I received it from. If I compare, and it does not concur to scriptural truth, I discard it.

To this end, I often tell people that I listen to every sermon with filter in my ears. And that is including my present Pastor. Because I believe salvation is a personal race.

On the Day of Judgment, I can’t blame my failure on anyone but myself. Hence, The Lord Jesus said, we should be as wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove…

The scriptures admonishes us to worship God in spirit and Truth. We are commanded to walk in the Spirit. We’re are told that when the Holy Spirit comes, he’ll guide us into all truth. But particularly, Jesus says he will not speak of himself, but rather, he will take of mine, and show them to you. Jesus words are as entrenched in the word of God- the Bible.

Anything outside the written word of God, is definitely not from the Spirit of Jesus- The Holy Spirit.

To this end, the Apostle Paul says; anyone who preaches any other gospel, apart from the original gospel, let him be accursed—Gal 1:8.
Hence, to avoid the curse of God, we must confine ourselves to only scriptural truths.

It is my earnest prayer, that the Lord Jesus, will restructure your heart, and pull you out of this erroneous doctrine (if you’re involved) with this word in season in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!

“House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a PRUDENT WIFE is from the LORD.” Proverbs 19:14

For about four years, I had been discreetly and prayerfully searching for a lady to marry, but all my efforts were to no avail. Many a time, based on my Utopian ideal on what a perfect wife should be, I’ll get into a relationship- only to be disappointed after some months…

And before the brake up, I must have wasted some resources, including time and energy. Until recently, God clearly revealed my wife to me. And since I got into relationship with this lady from the Lord, I can’t imagine ever being able to get (on my own discretion) a lady as prudent and lovely as she is for a wife.

And ever since my breakthrough, I have learnt great lessons from my own experience, which I have been using to counsel my friends who are still scouting for a perfect life partner.

Hence, I feel led by the Holy Spirit to share my lessons with folks who may as well be searching for a heavenly life partner in the interim. So they can hit right at their covenant life partners and avoid the grievous mistake and consequences of choosing a stranger for marriage.
“How Can I Find a Heavenly Life Partner?”

As I discuss with most of my friends, who are searching for life partner, I have always discovered one hindrance which have prevented them and so many believers (including my very self then), from getting the direction of God for a life partner.

Just like me then, they have been earnestly praying to God to reveal the perfect person to them. Which I believe is the best and wisest thing to do, when a believer is looking for a life partner. Because according to our opening scripture, “A prudent wife (including husband- if I may add), cometh from the Lord.”

Because, we as humans are very incapable of knowing and choosing the right person that will help us fulfil our God-given visions. But the hindrance here is that, these my friends (like me then), after praying, are not open-minded to the perfect will or choice of God.

After praying, we put God’s opinion aside, and bring out our blueprint to scrutinize the person before we choose. In short, even in the place of prayers, we start giving God our criteria. For instance, if it’s a man asking God for a wife, he petitions God with all manners of conditions…

Conditions such as: she must be very beautiful; tall and slim in shape. She must have gap in-between the teeth. She must have big breast and buttocks. Must come from a particular tribe… and the list goes on and on. If we’re to get God’s perfect counsel, we must open our hearts to God, for whomever he wants to give to us. Then after God reveals the person, we can then confirm spiritually (not carnally), if truly the person is from the Lord.

My friend and Christian Brother, who came to me recently for counsel, concerning choosing a life partner, is a perfect case study.
He told me he had been praying for a life partner. That he wants God to reveal his life partner to him. Then almost immediately, he started recounting to me, what he is expecting from the wife. He said the girl must be working… and other conditions…

Then I told him plainly that God cannot show him a wife. Because he has already made up his mind on what he wants. As he heard that, he agreed with me, and even shared with me that there is a lady he feels nudged to speak to concerning marriage, but he was not comfortable with her fat stature.

He agreed that the girl was a good Christian and has the fear of God, from his relationship with her. But just that he was uncomfortable with the fatness. It was then I counseled him to be totally opened to whomever God wants him to marry, if he must get married to God’s perfect will for him.

Recently he just called me that he has gotten all the convictions from God, he needed to go ahead and approach the said lady for marriage.
You see, if you want God to reveal to you your perfect life partner, you must completely zero out your mind in your request, else God will not speak to you. Because God knows better, than speak to you when you will not accept his counsel…

If God must speak to you concerning marriage, you must wholeheartedly say; “God reveal to me the right person you want me to marry; I will marry her regardless of anything. I just want nothing but your perfect will. I don’t care her shape, status, height, color, education, tribe or anything.”

I told someone that if God revealed a cripple, or a deaf mute to me to marry, as I confirm very well its God, I’ll go ahead with the marriage no matter how hard it seems…

Many Christians only end up marrying God’s permissive will, because they won’t allow God show them his perfect will. And even if he did, they won’t accept it if the person does not meet their criteria. Hence, there are so much struggles, even breakages in many marriages. Including Christian Marriages.

So there you have it! To choose a perfect life partner, ask God to show you. After praying, as you go about searching, just be open-minded to whomever God reveals to your heart…

And I must add here, that a woman is not to find a husband, it is the man that should find her. The bible says; “He who finds a wife”. The man is to find the wife through God’s guidance, while the woman, as the man comes speaking, she should ask him for some time to pray for confirmation.
And to confirm the voice of the Lord concerning the revelation of a life partner, I advise a minimum of two different witnesses of the Holy Spirit, before making a move or acceptance.

Personally, before I was totally convicted to speak to my fiancé, I had up to three witnesses from the Holy Spirit. Then as I got into the relationship, I have received more confirmations from the Lord.

Before I moved, I dreamt about her thrice, but the face was not specific. Although I saw on those three occasions that she was light in complexion. I even went ahead telling my course mates that my wife to be is light in complexion.

Then after some time, I heard her name clearly in my heart, with God telling me, she likes me so much. Finally, before I spoke to her concerning marriage, the Holy Spirit convicted me with a scriptural revelation as I read a Christian literature.

So in choosing a life partner, you must be fully convinced by the voice of God in your spirit (heart), then you move based on your conviction or convictions as the case may be. Because it is your convictions from the Lord that will enable you hang on in the marriage, regardless of whatever challenges you may come across.

You will not make the wrong choice in choosing your life partner, in marriage, in Jesus precious name!

Remain Blessed!

[b] P.S [/b]This is an old thread. And I have updated this post and posted in my blog. You can find the updated post here at:
https://righteousfaith.net/finding-a-life-partner/

You can post your question there and I'll reply you as soon as possible. I just prefer to discuss more on this topic at my blog.

Alphanancy:
Bros nobody is competing with you and your god. The bottom line here is to know yourself. You cannot fight for your god. Believe what you like but do not claim superiority of your chosen path as the only way. There are several ways to God Almighty. There is no truth in religion and any religion that claims to be the truth is a LIE. There are two things in life that nobody can ever do for you; your believing and your dying. They are yours and no man can help you with those. Christianity has only helped to make people more stu..pid. Foregoing the use of their brains to ask questions of things they do not understand. Nobody is going to attack you. For what if i may ask? What you need is reasoning and not a fight. You cannot help your God.

Why I asked for a spiritual power show down is for us to practically validate who is serving the genuine God. If anyone claims he has other God greater than the Lion of the tribe of Judah- Jesus Christ, then the only way to prove it, is that he should be able to overcome me spiritually with the power of that other so-called god. That was exactly what Elijah did to the prophets of baal.

If you think you got it right, I place curse on your god and expect its wrath. But if it is silent, then its a deceiver.

So therefore, I curse every other entity that claims to be the Most High God, apart from JEHOVAH and JESUS CHRIST and THE HOLY SPIRIT. And if they be angry, I await their wrath in Jesus Name.

0079jaBond:
The battle is the Lord's, not yours. Neither does the authority or might belong to anybody but God.


Don't make a mistake you may live to regret. Again, it is the Lord's battle. Hence no man dare say he calls for war on his own accord.


Be watchful and prayerful lest the enemy come to sow tares on thy way.


Be watchful and careful, dear brethren!
It is His Spirit that worketh it all in His own will.


Shalom

Yeah the battle is the Lord's, and I'm his battle axe. If I hear anything denigrating about my God, I'll step out and rebuke the forces, and God will back me up by the Power of His Holy Spirit.

Yeah I do call for war against the backdrop of my unflinching faith in the Almighty. And I have been doing just that publically for over four years now, with the intent that the unbelievers may believe there is no other God beside the Almighty alone. And as I do that with the right motive he has always defended me from every evil incursion. That was the same thing Elijah did remember.

slave am not here for you who has chosen to be asleep. never you call me a liar again in your life else something bad will befall u

I make bold to say that you and all your cohorts are toothless. I'm a servant of the Most High God. And I challenge you openly that there is no other God anywhere than the Almighty Jehovah. I dare say to you that I as the servant of the True and only God Jehovah-the creator of the whole world- I'm much more, greater god than you claim to be.

And I dare you to prove your worth with your fake power. Come on, let's do it power for power, to know who has the true God. I dare you o come after me with your fake power. If you come after me and your stupid power has any effect on me, then know you got the real thing. But if on the other hand you receive a rebuking fire of the Holy Spirit as you come after me, then know that Jehovah is the only God.

In case you may need my name for your manipulations, my full name is Odili Emeke. If you believe you have somewhat power greater than that of the Almighty God, I dare you for a spiritual fight. Bring it on. What ever you think you have or know, I'm waiting for you only in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazaret.

In case you need my phone number for better manipulation, you can request it. I dare you and all your demonic hoard.

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall HE SPEAK: And he will SHOW YOU things to come.” John 16:13

This article is the continuation of my last post titled, “How to Hear From the Holy Spirit”. In that post, I did promise to expatiate on the various ways the Holy Spirit speaks to and leads the children of God…

Hence, this article seeks to scripturally point the Christian believer, to the various avenues, through which the Holy Spirit Speak to his Children. So they can always be sensitive to his voice and receive directions for themselves. Concerning any and every areas of their lives, which they need spiritual guidance on. Instead of running from one man after the other.

So What Then Are the Various Ways The Holy Spirit Speak?

1. The Witness of the spirit – Rom 8:16. One of the principal way the Holy Spirit speaks to the believer, is through the witness of the spirit (heart, or conscience). The word witness, from the original Greek word means- to give an evidence of something.

Hence, the Holy Spirit always leads every true believer to what God will have them do per time, by a convicting evidence to the heart or conscience. Many a time, he supports the conviction in the heart or conscience with a very glaring scriptural truth. That the believer cannot sincerely wave off.
2. Jumping Scriptures—Psalm 119:105; “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Another principal way the Holy Spirit speaks very often to his children, is through striking revelations from scriptures that just jump at the believer’s heart. And this can be either when reading or meditating on the scriptures or any Christian literature.

Then at some other times, it occurs even when not reading at all. The scriptural revelation, just jumps out from your spirit in total harmony with the situation you’re seeking answers from God to. And on some occasions, the scripture can be given to you in your dream.

In order to position his or herself to be hearing from the Holy Spirit through scriptures, the believer must of a necessity, train his or her spirit to hear.

And by training I mean, consistent reading, meditating and practicing of the word of God on a daily basis. Because most of the time, the Holy Spirit speaks to the believer, from the scriptures he or she is already aware of.
3. Audible Voice—Isaiah 30:21; “And thine EARS shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”

The Holy Spirit speaks to believers audibly. But though, rarely. Many men of God have confirmed to hearing from God through their ears only very few times. Some three times; and some others four times since they became Christians. I for one, I have only heard the audible voice of the Spirit once in all my Christian walk…

And that was last year, as I was just about to wake up from my sleep. To be on a safer side, if you hear an audible voice, don’t just run with it. You must confirm it with a witness of the spirit and scriptural backing.
4. Authoritative Voice of the Spirit-- The authoritative voice of the Spirit, is what the Apostle Paul calls the Spirit speaking expressly in 1 Timothy 4:1. Through this avenue, you just receive a very strong and authoritative knowing in your spirit concerning what God wants you to do…

You don’t hear anything in your ears, but after receiving the strong revelation in your spirit, it seems as if someone around or within you just spoke to you. I have had this particular experience about three or four times.

And they have occurred to me when I would be asking God, concerning some critical issues that I am confused or not clear about. Whether he or the devil was the one speaking to me. Immediately, I get that authoritative voice in my spirit, I am instantly convicted of the truth of the matter.
5. Visions and Dreams: God speaks to the believer through visions and dreams. Visions include: Trance, Open visions, inner visions (with your eyes of faith) and dreams. I have never had an open vision or a trance.

But I have gotten revelations through inner visions and dreams. But the dreams I accept as the directions of God are the one that as I wake up from my sleep, has a confirmation of the Holy Spirit, by the witness of the spirit…

If as I wake up, I do not have any witness of the spirit concerning the dream, I just discard it.
The Holy Spirit also leads through situations or providence; through the words of other people (Either born again or not- with the witness of the spirit). He also leads through wisdom or common sense, peace… and a number of other ways…

But ultimately, amongst all these various avenues, he will always bear witness to the truth, through the witness of the spirit and scriptural truth. The Holy Spirit does not speak against or outside scriptural truth.

So regardless of the avenue you receive a revelation, you must check with the written word of God and the witness of the spirit (through conviction or peace). Then also to be on a safer side, when seeking guidance from God on any issue, especially critical issues (such as marriage). You should seek to get confirmation from about two or three avenues as stated above, before making a move. May God guide you continually in the path of righteousness, for his names’ sake in Jesus precious name!

Remain Blessed!

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14

My friend Henry Amuoghobor, narrated to me, some months ago, the story of a woman, who went for a religious meeting. According to my friend, as this woman participated in the meeting, the so-called prophet, called out to her, and gave her a personal prophecy about her family…

The prophet told this naïve and ignorant lady, that her Father and Mother In-law, are responsible for her predicaments. Then foolishly, this lady just went straight to her in-laws, and accused them confrontationally, of being the evil hands behind her predicaments.

When the said lady’s husband eventually returned, and eventually got to his parents, they narrated to him how his wife had insolently accused them of witchcraft, and being responsible for their problems.

After the man heard of the insult of the wife to his parents, as he got home, the issue eventually led to the breakage of their heavenly ordained marriage.

This story is just one of many disasters that many spiritually ignorant individuals have caused themselves and others- by always trying to get direction and instruction from God through their fellow humans. Instead of going to God directly to hear from him.

People have lost their money, their God given wives, relationships, ministries and other valuables by their undue inquisitiveness, and trying to pry into the future through human agents.

And this is mainly as a result of ignorance to scriptural truth. They fail to understand that in the New Testament, Prophets are not given to give personal directions to any child of God.

Yes, in the New Testament, there is the ministry of prophet. And their primary duty is to preach and teach the word of God, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, just like every other ministry gift.

And also, because they always have revelational gifts, they can also give direction to the general assembly of a Church by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit concerning God’s agenda per time.

But when it comes to personal messages to the individuals in the Church, they are to only confirm to the believer only what God has already revealed to them personally for the purpose of confirmation and strengthening of faith.

To this end, an individual believer, with the Holy Spirit in him or her, should not depend on prophets to give him/her direction for personal life. They should only go to the prophet to hear preaching or teaching. Then in the process of preaching or teaching, God can occasionally use the prophet to confirm what he has already revealed personally to the believer.

However, if the prophet gives the believer a message that God has never revealed to him or her before time, and does not bear witness with the spirit, the believer should discard it.

Then on the other hand, if he suspects there could be truth in it, he should personally go and inquire from God concerning the revelation before agreeing to or acting on it.

It is very risky and dangerous to take any man’s word for it, without hearing the truth from God first. And when I say any man, I mean any man- regardless of whom the person may be. No matter the position of the man, we can’t afford to put our destinies in the hand of any man.

Even if the individual has the true gift of prophecy, he is only a human as much as you are, and as such, is bound to make mistakes. Prophets operate in the realm of the spirit, and as the scriptures said, there are many voices in the spirit realm.

Familiar spirits (that mimic the Holy Spirit) can speak through people. Including even genuine prophet or a child of God. Peter did yield to the devil, and started speaking against Jesus’s death.

Anybody can at one time or the other, yield to the wrong spirit. So committing your destiny to any mortal man to direct, is to be toiling with your life and destiny.

It is better to develop your relationship with God personally, and always consult him for any direction or instruction you need in any area of your life. If you want to make any business decision, go to him in a prayer of inquiries (if you want, you can take up some days of fasting and prayers)…

If you want to marry, ask him for the right person. If you have a call for the ministry, go to him for instructions. Don’t allow anybody prophesy or call you into the ministry.

If things are not going well with you in any area of your life, ask him personally to reveal to you what is going on. He is always ready and available inside of you to answer you if you are truly living in and for him… So my message in essence, is that you should learn to walk in the Spirit, instead of walking in men and prophets.

When a believer always runs to a fellow man for answers, God is provoked to jealousy. Because by so doing, we tend to treat the man as God, and relegate God to the background. Hence, the errors many folks find themselves in the quest of seeking directions from prophets.

So what are the various ways the Holy Spirit speaks to his Children? There are several ways the Holy Spirit lead or speak to his children. Principally, he speaks through the Witness of the spirit, the written word of God, small still voice (in the heart), audible voice (rarely), Wisdom (Godly wisdom, not sensual), situations or providence, visions and a host of other means. I’ll be discussing in details how the Holy Spirit speaks to the Believers through all these medium in my next article.

But in the interim, I encourage you to smoothen out your relationship with God and his Holy Spirit, and learn how to be sensitive to his voice and leadings. Learn how to hear him for yourself for any situation you find yourself in; that you need direction for…

Don’t subject your destiny to the direction of any man, no matter whatever title he or she is called.
Right now, I decree your spiritual ears to pop open, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. I command every deafening forces in you, to lose their grips off you, in the name of Jesus Christ! From now onwards, begin to hear God, per second, per minute, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual FERVENT PRAYER of a righteous man availeth much.”—James 5:16

As the signs of the end-time is presently unfolding at a warp speed, I sense a clarion call from the Lord to his body (The Church) for a deeper level of fellowship with him in the place of prayers.

As the scriptures says, the wicked are already doing more wickedly. The love of many are already waxing cold. People-including supposed Christians- are getting more worldly and sensual by the day…

And with all these, the end-time is drawing nearer and nearer. And just as our Lord Jesus admonished, we should pray, so we can be counted worthy of escaping the tribulations of these times (Luke 21:36).

The saint whose garment will remain unspotted by the current pollution in this world, is the one who persistently travail in the place of prayers. The saint who will remain uncompromising to the original standard of faith as entrenched in the scriptures-amidst these modern day gospels-is the one who will dedicate ample time in the closet of prayers.

The Christian, whose faith will not be pushed to agnostism by the hordes of hell, and human agents, is the one who will pray without ceasing as the scriptures admonish.

The groups of believers that will usher in the next move of the Holy Spirit- that will culminate in an unusual salvation of the heathen; and revival of holiness in the body of Christ, are the ones who will make it an occupation in asking God to do so (Psalms 1:.

The saint who wants to see God confirm his words with unusual manifestation of signs and wonders, is the one who will go right into the deeper part of the holies of holies- through importunate prayers in the spirit. Especially praying extensively in other tongues.

Well, for the folks who disbelieve praying in other tongues, I just have to say, “Bless their hearts”. And I earnestly pray that God help them to believe. Because, the one who will keep arguing against this spiritually potent gift for fervent prayers in this end-time, will be greatly disadvantaged.

They will only scratch the surface of the holies of holies in the place of prayers. Praying only with the intellect will only get them so far in the realms of the spirit.

To these beloved brethren, I plead from a passionate heart of love that they should come out of the cocoon of religion and blinded arguments and desire to speak with other tongues. Because it is very needful and advantageous in the current demand of the Almighty in the place of prayers.

And that was why the Apostle Paul thanked God he spoke in tongues more than everyone else (1 Corinthians 14:18). Not to take advantage of this awesome gift of prayer (speaking in tongues) is to be leaving allots of blessing on the table (both spiritual and physical).

Not to take advantage of this gift of prayer, is to leave allots of battles unwon.

So my brethren, get to intensive prayers. No more 5minutes rattling of prayers in the Morning and before going to bed (Plus God, minus devil- amen). Spend quality time (at least an hour) in prayers daily- especially praying in the Holy Ghost (in tongues) and watch your victories and testimonies compound.

Let’s obey one of the easiest and most important command of scriptures-“Ask of me”; “Pray without ceasing”. And the more we do, the more we have life more abundantly.

For those of you, struggling with the spirit of slumber, I decree your deliverance right now. I also decree the outpouring on you, the spirit of grace and supplication, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!

“You Want Your Sales To Soar? So You Want Sales-Generating Sales Copies For All Your Advertisements-But You Don’t Have All The Learning, Practicing, Mastering And Copywriting Time…?”

Emem Juliet (08068496245)

Now let me be very honest with you here. ..

Anybody can write a sales copy for a product or service. As a matter of fact, you’re the best person to write the sales copy for your product or service. Because you’re the owner; because it’s your passion. ..

But the issue here is a sales-generating sales copy is not all about the writing. It’s not all about the passion. ..

It’s about writing to compel people to whip out their credit cards and ATM to buy from you. It’s about writing to transfer your passion to your prospects. It’s about squeezing out the juice of your product or service to whet the appetite of your readers.

It’s about tickling the right psychological spots of your prospect. In order to breakthrough her subconscious defense shields to win her trust. And all these cannot be achieved just through having a good command of the English Language (The Gift of the Gab); being good in writing-even if you’re a fiction or creative writer.

A sales-generating sales copy, goes beyond intuitive creativity. Like every tasking, high paying trade, professional copywriting is learnt, practiced and mastered.

You know, whether its Newspaper or Magazine space Ads, Ezine Ads, Pay Per Click Ads, Banner Ads, Brochure (Flyer ), Press Releases ETC… they all cost money, and their success depends majorly on the copywriting (writing).

And most importantly…

You need a sales copy that can pull massive sales so you can easily and quickly recoup all the money you spend for your business in paying staffs and bills.

You need the services of a professional copywriter, so you can devote your time to other functions that require your routine attention.

“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, satan hath desired to have you, that he may SIFT you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy FAITH fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren”—Lk 22: 31-32

Recently, the Lord gave me a great revelation from a very serious trial of faith I just passed through. As a matter of fact, the trial or battle is still on…

In my last sermon (The Blessedness of Trials), I shared my testimony of how God supernaturally led me to the lady I’m about to marry soon. The Lord led me to her through several scriptural revelational media…

Through dreams, small still voice, word of knowledge/wisdom, scriptural insight, witness of the spirit and wisdom.
But oblivious to me, as soon as I stepped out to her from my convictions, the hordes of hell were let loose against my faith…

How Did I know?

Right from the day I called her over and shared my revelations with her, and she accepted me, mind binding devils started sifting my faith against her. While the whole process was going on, I suspected the devil and my flesh.

But God gave me the true revelation of the battle on a fateful day, recently as the mind attack became very fierce. The mind attack became so fierce, that at the moment, I forgot all the revelations and convictions of the Spirit. And I was even considering backing out of the relationship…
But as I remembered all the convictions again, I had to pray (both in my understanding and in other tongues), desperately asking the Holy Spirit what was going on in my mind…

Because, the demonic forces attacking my mind and faith, were mimicking the conviction of the Holy Spirit (But the difference was that, there was no scriptural backing like the Holy Spirit- if it is the Holy Spirit, he will refer you to a scripture).

As I prayed, the Lord revealed to me that it was actually the devil and his cohorts that were fighting to derail me from the will of God. And that I should remove my mind from any magic cure or quick fix formula…

Then as I meditated on the word, a scripture quickly came to my mind to fight the good fight of faith, which I have already professed a good profession amongst so many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:12).

As I got that, I sat down and started speaking in tongues for hours until finally those strongholds of the enemy against my marital destiny, were pulled down by the power of the Holy Ghost. But then, just as the Lord revealed to me, the battle hasn’t been a one night stand affair…

The enemy and his cohorts have kept on contending for my faith concerning my marriage since then, and I have always been defeating them (by the grace of God). By standing on the voice of God and spending quality time in prayers (especially praying in other tongues).

And at every instance, after my prayers, I’ll feel the power of God, go through my mind and practically clean up all the binding powers of the enemy, and I’ll be freed. As a matter of fact, the last episode just took place yesterday night during my time of personal prayers before going to bed.

So What’s The Essence of My Story?

I’m sharing this my experiences, to underscore the fact that for every revelation of God’s perfect will to any believer, the deceiver and his cohorts will be out to contend. They will fight the believer to ensure he misses out on God’s best and suffers the consequences.

As a matter of fact, so many believers, including ministers of the gospel, have been defeated so much along this line of the fight of faith. They will pray for God to give them something or a blessing…

Then as God blesses them, the devil comes along with his strategies and accusations against the believer, and before long, he loses it. He loses out of fear, self-righteousness, religious dogmas and unbelief.

Many a time, the devil uses human agents to get believers to lose out on God’s best for their lives…

For instance, there are people who have given up on spiritual gifts just because people criticized them. Women have also rejected ministerial calls from God as a result of religious dogmas that says women should not preach in the Church.

Such, was the experience of Maria Woodworth Etter, who got a call from God to go into the ministry, but refused as a result of religious dogmas.
And as a result of her disobedience, she lost her children and husband and almost lost her life too, before accepting to answer the ministerial call. And when she did, she became God’s powerhouse.

So when we receive a blessing or an assignment from God, let’s be aware, that our faith must be tried alongside. Both by the devil and humans- but God does not expect us to give in to pressure, criticism, fear and unbelief, and disobey him…

Instead, he expects us to resist and overcome every trials of faith and obey him and enjoy his blessings. As the trial of your faith gets fiercer, both from the devil and men (even from those in authority), to be able to stand, get back to your Bible, and spend quality time in prayers of inquiries before God, through the Holy Spirit.

And as you do that, you will always come out triumphant. You will no longer be swayed by every wind of doctrine. You will no longer be confused and lose out on God’s blessings. Jesus said, in him we’ll have peace, but in the world we’ll have tribulation, but that we should be of good cheer, because he had overcome the world for us (John 16:33).

Then again, the scriptures says, whatsoever is born of God, overcomes the world, and the victory that overcomes the world is our faith (1 John 5:4). Hence, God is aware of our battles of faith and he expects us to always win and never lose out to the devil and any of his cohorts.

So from today onwards, receive the grace to always win your battles of faith in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!

"Who Else Needs A Professional Website That Shifts Products And Services- Not Just For Fancy "

Friend, let's be very open-minded with each other here. How many websites online actually shifts products or services or even get prospects to call in? very tiny handful right? and the ones that even get the sales are the very simple and stoopid looking ones. Not the expensive looking types with multiple colors, graphics and videos.

You know, those expensive websites, from what I have recently noticed, the only use they are putting them to is just adding the web addresses to their business cards and flyers. And even when a few people decide to visit the websites they never wait to get the information on the homepage; never return or even remember the websites- let alone buying from or even calling from the websites.

Now the question here is, why is it so? it is so because most of the websites, by the reason of the heavy graphics and videos they contain, take so much time to load and display to the client. Even when the pages open up, they look very complicated without much directions.

And of course, the client is always in a hurry while he is online, and any website that appears to waste his time, he'll just close it and run to the next available website.

So if you want a website that gets the sales, I can help you with my years of experience as a Web Developer/Consultant and an Internet Marketing Specialist. I can help you put up a professional website that will thrive favorably at the search engine competition; and keep your visitors spellbound.

To hire me for this service, you can reach me with my phone number: 07035180310.

“A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world”—John 16:21

Some years back, as I was faced with a very strong trial that pressed me to the wall, with no help in view from anywhere- humanly speaking- God gave me a very great revelation from the above scripture.

The revelation sprang out of the above scripture, as I reluctantly opened my Bible and studied (in my moment of melancholy). And since I caught this very revelation, I have always seen God confirm it to me, in every tough situation I find myself.

From the above scripture, the Lord opened my eyes of faith to understand, that each time I have exercised my faith concerning a particular situation or challenge, with nothing showing up, till the point where believing becomes almost or totally impossible…

To the point where even doubt and dismay and hopelessness begins to set in- just like a laboring woman in travail- the hour of glory and miracle has come. That is, in such a time: you have prayed; you’ve fasted; you’ve sown your seeds; in short, you’ve done all you know to do scripturally, with nothing to show…

To the extent you’re pressed to the wall. And you feel like, you’re better-off dead than alive, because of the straitness of your challenges. Just have it at the back of your mind that your moment of miracle, is very close to the door.

Since I caught this very revelation and have always been watching out for the hand of God, when I’m pressed to the wall, I have always seen God move in my direction in the most astonishing and aghasting ways.

Let me just share a recent testimony to buttress what I’m saying:

Early last year, while I was in my former relationship, for which we had a great prospect for marriage, the Lord spoke to me audibly (with a small still voice), just before I awoke from my sleep. He said; “Emeke, your marriage is next year. Choose a date for next year”.

Immediately after that, I awoke from my sleep, with a conviction of the Holy Spirit in my heart. Then I began to think how I was going to explain it to my ex-fiancé then. But all the same, I had to tell her, knowing very well the implication of disobeying the voice of God. As I told her, we agreed on a date for this year.

But eventually, as providence will have it, as we continued along the line, we had a disagreement along doctrinal lines, and eventually deemed it fit to discontinue the relationship. We finally did, and were happier apart. Then eventually, by the end of last year, she took ill, and after much treatments, she died (quite a pity).

Then as for me, because of the word of the Lord I received, I had been trying all I could with prayers to get the right person to marry. But all my efforts and relationships since then, had proved abortive. Even the ones that proved ideal, the Holy Spirit would step in, and lead me out of them for good. Because they were not the perfect will of God for me.

I continued relentlessly, until I got fagged out last month, and just concluded that, may be God has changed his mind. That if he still wants me to be married this year as he said, let him work everything out himself.

But then, as I relaxed into that passive state, I just decided to collect the phone number of my neighbor’s sister-which they have been asking me to marry- in order to see if anything worthwhile could work out between us.

As I started out wooing her, one of the nights, during my personal prayer session before going to bed, I prayed concerning the girl, asking the Lord, for his will concerning my marrying her. After praying, I slept, and very early in the morning, I awoke from sleep, still lying on my bed.

As I laid on the bed, the thought of the girl I was wooing, came to my mind. But then, almost immediately, a word concerning my female best friend (Joy) just jumped to my mind. It went something like this: “Joy likes you so much”. Immediately, I got that, I understood what it meant in my spirit, but I quickly waved it off.

I waved it off because there were certain things I didn’t want to put up with her- though I had the nudge of the Spirit that she is the person God wants me to marry…

I put the thought off until I got the complete and final conviction of the Holy Ghost, that she is God’s perfect will for me. As I got that final conviction, I called her and shared my revelations with her, and she has accepted to marry me.

And we’ll be marrying before the end of this year, according to the word of the Lord to me last year. And deep down my spirit, I am totally persuaded that our marriage, is going to be eternally hitch-free. In short, it is going to be a heaven on earth experience all the way, by the special grace of God.

So if there is anything you’ve been believing God for, with no result to show yet, and you’ve even started to doubt and dismay, I encourage you to pick up your faith again, and be very expectant. Because your miracle is so very very close. It will happen in a twinkling of an eye. It will happen in one fell swoop, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!

“Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the SPIRIT OF WHOREDOMS hath caused them to err, and they have gone a-whoring from under their God…”-Hosea 4: 11-12

The spirit of whoredoms is the spirit of sexual perversion. It is also the spirit of spiritual perversion-Idolatry. And it is one the most effective spirit that the devil has been using for ages to draw men to their utter destruction. Both in this life and hell (Hades).

Some months back, as I logged out of my yahoo mail, right on the yahoo homepage, I saw a news published with the picture of two ladies, with one of them pregnant and the second one- with her hair cut as a man-acting as the husband…

In short, according to the publication, they said she is actually the husband. And after reading through the publication, I was like; “Oh my God… this people should be dead and buried- instead of living below the level animals”.

I thought to myself, “Even animals knows better than to mount on the same sex instead of the opposite sex”. And to learn that this unimaginable taboo has been legalized in some prominent countries of the world, I just say to myself; “Oh dear Lord, do something”.

Now the above scenario, is the extreme level of the manifestation of this evil spirit- the spirit of whoredoms. Then the other manifestations of this evil spirit that I believe are almost as wicked as the above taboo are: incest, adultery, fornication, masturbation, etc...

Now, as much as this spirit is very wicked and destructive in its maneuvers and strategies, the individual that it manifests through, is ultimately responsible for his/her actions. Because if they don’t permit it, it will not come. And that is whether the person is a Christian or not. And that is why God Judges the individual for his/her action.

Before this evil spirit can take ahold of an individual to commit whoredoms or immoralities, the individual opens up to it through vain imaginations, corrupt thoughts, consumption of corrupt materials, such as: Pornography, corrupt TV shows/movies, keeping of immoral relationships, reading of corrupt and wrong publications.

And that is why, if someone is to be completely delivered from this evil spirit, it is not just a question of casting out the spirit of whoredoms that oppresses, obsess and possess the perpetrator- but much more of shutting the doors through which the evil spirit gains entrance into the person in question.

For instance, if someone is enslaved in chronic fornication by the spirit of whoredoms, and the individual is a Christian, he can personally get himself delivered by confessing to God and casting out the evil spirit by a command of faith. Then after casting out the evil spirit by faith, if his repentance is genuine, then he should make out plans to close every door against the evil spirit- the spirit of whoredoms…

If he has a girlfriend (or girlfriends) that help him carry out his acts, he should immediately call them over the phone and terminate the relationships at once. Then he should discipline himself on the kinds of movies or TV shows to see. And if possible, cut off from seeing movies completely- except only Christian movies and teachings.

He should cut off all secular music in his possession and play only Christian music. He should get Christian books and other materials that teaches on sanctification. If he is online, he should use restrictive software to protect himself from corrupt websites (I use Blue Coat k9 Web Protector-it is free).

Then finally, he should always make out quality time to consistently study the Bible and pray fervently (especially in unknown Tongues), in order to enjoy the continuous infilling and help of the Holy Ghost.

Then for the unbeliever, he/she should start by accepting Jesus as Lord and personal Savior- because it is only Jesus that can deliver anyone from the bondage of the spirit of whoredoms.

So if you are not yet saved, and you know you’re under the control of the spirit of whoredoms, and you want to be set free as soon as possible, say out this prayer:

Lord Jesus, I agree I’m a sinner. But today, I repent of my sins. Wash me with your precious blood and write my name in the lamb’s book of life. Lord, as I have become your son, today, I ask you to set me completely free from the control of the spirit of whoredoms…
Thank you for my complete salvation. From now on, I receive the eternal grace to live above immoralities all my life, In Jesus Name!

Remain Blessed!

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh-for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ”- 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

From a myopic view or understanding of the above scripture, many Christians have been spending the better part of their time and energy fighting the lesser battles. That is, warring against the devil and his cohorts…

Although, they are supposed to wrestle against those forces according to scriptures, but they are supposed to be wrestling from a triumphant position by faith.

From scriptures, we understand that Christ has given us victorious authority over the devil and all his cohorts (Lk 10:19); and also, that we are seated together with Christ in heavenly places, far above principalities and powers…

And as such, as a true Christian, dealing with the devil or any of his cohorts, shouldn’t take so much time and energy that so many well-meaning Christians spend fighting battles that Christ has already won for us.

You know, many a time, we see folks organize an all-night meeting, just to scream on top of their voices for the devil and demons to be cast out. More so, individual Christians spend hours in prayers, fighting against the activities of the devil and his agents- instead of fellowshipping with the Father and the Son through the Holy Ghost...

Church leaders spend quality time that is supposed to be used to share the truth of God’s word (that brings true deliverance), to be laying hands on people, and even pushing them around in order to cast out the devils or demons-that most of the time are not there.

They lay hands, and get the devil manifesting and getting people to fall, yet the peoples’ lives after all the whole manifestations are not in any way bettered after such a long period of time…

All these are the wiles and strategies of the devil to distract and completely get the eyes of the Church from fighting the major battles we are admonished to fight in the opening scripture (2Cor 10:3-5). He gets Christians to focus on fighting with him and his demons so he can be always successfully carrying on with his maneuvers.

He gets Christians screaming and sweating at him and his agents instead of using their weapons (the whole armor of God) to cast down vain imaginations; every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God; and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ…

Because he knows he can only defeat or oppress a believer in any area of life through their imaginations, thoughts and untamed/unrighteous fleshly desires. Once these doors are properly secured, he must always loose against the believer in any battle of life.

The Major Christian Battles

From the opening scripture (2 Cor 10:3-5), it is very clear, that the major battles of a Christian, is casting down vain imaginations that always bombard his /her mind every now and then. And bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ…

And all these battles we’re supposed to be fighting on daily basis with our mighty spiritual weapons, which are the whole armor of God (Eph 6:13-18)…

And also, we’re to always render our bodies as living sacrifices to God and consistently renew our thoughts with the word of God every day and minute (Rom 12:1-2). As we pay the major part of our spiritual attention to the obedience of these scriptural injunctions, dealing with the devil or his demons becomes very very easy.

When your body and thoughts are sanctified at all times, each time you sense the devil or demons in any area of your life, a single command of faith, will just be enough to stop them from their maneuvers and strategies…

Just like our Lord Jesus, each time you see someone oppressed or obsessed with demons as revealed to you by God, a single authoritative command of faith will dispel them out. And sometime, even with a quiet command… You may not need to shout-He is a small and finished devil.
And Christ has given us great authority over him and all his cohorts. And our position in Christ, is far above all principalities and powers (Eph 2:6).
But however, rendering our bodies as a living sacrifice, renewing our thoughts and casting down vain imaginations consistently, is discomforting to the flesh, hence, folks prefer the other alternative…

That is, allowing their flesh to still have its way (instead of crucifying it); and allowing their thoughts and imaginations to wander as they want- then as an easier fix, they go on screaming and sweating at the devil and evil spirits…

Then sometimes, they can go to someone to be helping them cast out evil spirits, even when the devil is not connected to their problems at all in any way.

Many a time, what these folks who doesn’t want to take the responsibility of obedience to God’s word, call demonic activities are merely works of the flesh, which they fail to discipline themselves to let go.

For instance, someone is into seeing pornographic movies and consequently into masturbation, then instead of disciplining his flesh and eyes to stop seeing such obscene movies, he consistently runs to a pastor to get evil spirits of masturbation cast out of him, and after the exorcism session, he continues with it, blaming it on the devil.

All these are all self-deception. If you take a strong stand against any unrighteous habit with the whole armor of God, including prayers, you can live above sin, and consequently enjoy your authority against the devil and his cohorts sweatlessly.

I see you getting into that realm of supernatural authority against every evil forces, all your life, as you take responsibility to fight the right Christian battles, from now onwards, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force”—Matt 11:12

The story of a sick woman was related by the great Apostle of Faith- Smith Wigglesworth, of blessed memory- According to him, he went to this woman’s house because he learnt she was seriously sick. On getting to the woman, and discussing with her, the woman explained to Smith that she believed she had a thorn in the flesh, just the same way the Apostle Paul had.

Then Smith asked the woman; “You believe you have a thorn in the flesh? For what reason? Have you also received so much revelations like Paul that could get you puffed up?”

Then finally, he asked her; “If you truly believe you have a messenger of devil, why are you struggling so hard to come out of it- with all these medications? (Because he saw a whole lots of medicine bottles around her).”

Then according to Wigglesworth, after asking the woman these questions with no good answers, he rebuked the woman by charging her; “Repent of your unbelief and self-righteousness.”

However, my quotations may not be exactly verbatim, but it certainly relates the exact story. Now this woman’s story is exactly the same with the situation of several Christians today…

They just allow their health to be taken advantage of by the devil and the elements of this world, through unbelief and self-righteousness. Instead of standing against the devil and symptoms by the force of violent faith to claim their inheritance of divine health in Christ Jesus…

The Bible says, by the stripes of Jesus, we were healed (past tense)—1Pet 2:24. Hence, this article seeks to show scripturally, how any and every true believer in Christ, can practically live above sickness and diseases.

And also, it seeks to reveal the biblical secrets on exactly how a believer can walk out on any symptom of sickness and disease each and every time they’re tempted with them…

The secrets of Divine Health and Faith Healing

Below, amongst other scriptural, spiritual weapons, are Christ’s provision for health, healing and wholeness by Faith…

1) Faith: The number one spiritual weapon for living above sickness and diseases is the tool of faith in God’s word concerning divine health. If anyone can just believe in what the word of God says about Christians concerning health, they will begin to live practically, all the days of lives in divine health. That is, if they can believe that by the stripes of Jesus, we were healed-1Pet 2:24- and also that God wishes above every other things that we prosper and be in health, even as our souls prosper-3John 2…

If we can believe the truth that is in these two scriptures, and align our mentality accordingly; and confess it everywhere we go, divine health will become our lifestyle. I’m personally a testimony of this lifestyle of faith for over four years now. I live sickness, disease, drug and hospital free by the force of this violent faith in the word of God.

2) The Prayer of Faith and Anointing Oil—James 5: 14-15: If you have any temptation of sickness symptom, such as headache, you can lay hand on it and command it to stop in Jesus name. Then you can also pray into an anointing oil and anoint the spot of the symptom.

If you do these two things by faith, you should be healed instantly. Now faith here, will be validated by the actions you take immediately after the above scriptural processes. If you pray and anoint believing, you should just begin to act with the full conviction that the pain is gone.

You should not finish praying and immediately start heading down to the pharmacist or the hospital. Instead, you should start going about your normal chores even if the pain is still persisting. When someone asks you how you feel, don’t say to him/her what you feel, but say, what you believe…

If you believed you were healed as you prayed and anointed yourself, then tell the person you’re fine. And that is even when the head is still quaking. Even when the person is aware of the symptom, don’t open your mouth to say “I have headache”.

When you confess what you believe, instead of what you feel, you’re not lying as many people may see it- you’re actually confessing the truth of God’s word.

On the other hand, when you confess what you feel, after praying and anointing yourself, you’re actually calling God a liar (which God is not), because according to God’s word, he says when you pray and anoint yourself, you will be healed.

Then along the line, if your faith wavers, lay your hand again… pray again and anoint again. Because God’s word is faithful and true…

Then finally, after applying your own faith, and the result does not manifest, then you can do exactly what James 5:14-15 says (I can’t remember ever doing this though-I have always been healed by my faith as I related above, by the special grace of God- But I have also seen many, follow this step with testimonies to show). If you have tried your faith and couldn’t get any result, then you must humble yourself and call the elders (such as Pastor(s), deacon(s) or any person you believe in his/her faith) to pray and anoint you for your healing.

And when they pray for you, you must believe you have been healed, else it might not also do you any good. Because faith in God’s word is the principal tool for divine health and healing.

It has dawned on me that one article will not be enough to exhaustively teach this truth. So I’ll be continuing it in subsequent articles. But if you can faithfully apply the above points, I’m sanguine your health will be perfected speedily, even as you read this article in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have a strong witness of that fact in my spirit, even as I write this article…

So therefore, under this unction, I command that pain in any part of your body to disappear right now, as you read this article in the name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!

“Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin”—Romans 4:6-8

Blessedness is from the Greek word “Makarismos”, meaning- beatification- that is, attribution of good fortune. In ordinary language, it means: Fortune, Enjoyments and benefits…

Then holiness, is the empowerment to do right. Hence, by “The Blessedness of Holy Living”, I mean- the benefits or the fortunes that accrues the man who is wholly committed to holy living.

Some time ago, in the barbing salon where I used to go and cut my hair, there was a young man I knew, who was also one of the barbers there…

Each time I went there, most of his conversations were centered on girls. Then on one of such days, as he was passionately discussing about girls, I interjected; “Is it only women you ever talk about?” and his reply was; “Is there any other thing sweeter than women?”…

When I heard that, (in my heart) I was like- oh my God! Then I explained to him, that there are so much more fun-far sweeter than women in serving God (in spirit and truth through a commitment to absolute holiness- by the implication of what I told him).

Then with time, I shared some of my personal testimonies with him and even invited him to Church. Although after all my frantic efforts to get him to Church and converted, he never repented- but I pray that God will arrest him one day…

Now the young man I just related his story, is an unbeliever. But more disheartening is the fact that right inside the church these days, many folks are still so much dipped in sin and carnality in much the same way as the unbelieving young man I just related his story above.

And as a result, they have been missing out on so much blessings that accrues holy living. Even more gnawing is the fuel of unrighteousness that is being added by these ‘appropriated righteousness’ preachers…

The folks who preach people into assuming forgiveness, instead of consciously repenting and asking for forgiveness; each time they sin so their iniquities can be forgiven and their sins can be covered; just as the scripture stipulates in 1 John 1:8-9.

And as a result, these deluded folks (with their hearts caked with unconfessed sins) go to God with ‘bold-face’, instead of boldness that comes from true commitment to holy living…

Hence, this article seeks to point out scripturally the blessedness of Holy Living so anyone interested can clean up his or her hands and heart accordingly…

What Then Are The Blessedness of Holy Living?

1. Supernatural Peace: When holiness is your lifestyle, you enjoy divine peace- Psalms 119:165- The kind of peace that only Jesus can give. He said, my peace I give unto you, not as the world (things of this world) giveth… John 14:27- but it is accessible only through absolute holiness.
2. Divine Protection—Romans 1:3-4: When holiness is your lifestyle, you enjoy divine power which supernaturally protects you from every evil incursion of the enemies. You know, Jesus said, he has given us power over all the powers of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt us (Lk 10:19). But yet, so many believers lack this power because of outright unrighteousness. And as a result, the devil has been having a filled day in their lives.
3. Glory- Exodus 15:11- Glory means- Divine decoration or beautification. When holiness is your lifestyle, you move with an aura that commands honor, favor and dignity- regardless of what you have or not. For instance, even if I put on rag to anywhere in my milieu (neighborhood and the rest) I will still be honored.

Holiness amongst several other things, attracts wisdom, boldness, divine health and commands love from all and sundry. The Bible says, when a man’s ways pleases God, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him- Prov 16:7.

So pray to God, to empower you for holiness; and also be practically committed to holy living. Because after your empowerment by God, the onus is on you to practice righteousness.

Remain Blessed, in Jesus Holy Name!

Some years back, after reading Benny Hinn’s “Good Morning Holy Spirit”, I received a very tangible and powerful anointing. The feeling of the anointing, all over my body made me think that as I preach or pray for people, they would be slain in the Spirit…

But surprisingly, as I preached and prayed for people in my public ministrations, no one was falling under the anointing. Then one day, as I was going to my business place, walking along the road, I asked God; “what is the essence of this anointing? I don’t understand, because no one is falling”.

Then, as if someone was talking to me, I heard the authoritative voice of the spirit, speak to my spirit; “This is the Anointing for Exploit”. And since then, I have been dominating in every areas of life.

On that note, we continue with the features of the spirit of faith, from where I stopped in my last thread (The Spirit of Faith).

The Spirit of Faith is a Domineering Force-Heb 11:32-33; Isaiah 45:1-The spirit of faith, enables a believer to dominate in every ventures and milieu of life. Both spiritually and physically. In other words, it turns the believer, into a man/woman of exploits. For instance, I believe that every neighborhood I find myself, I’m above all the evil forces operating in that territory. It is this particular faith that enables me to often make my boast in the Lord, that I’m above all the devilish deities and witches in my village.

The Spirit of Faith is a Restful Force- Heb 4:9-11: The spirit of faith puts the believer in a restful state of heart and mind- concerning any issue of life. It totally eradicate worries from the life of the believer. It enables the believer, to truly humble himself before the Lord, by casting all his cares on the Lord- as the word of God admonishes us in the book of 1Peter 5:6-7.

The Spirit of Faith is a Violent Force- Matthew 11:12: When the spirit of faith is in operation in the life of a believer, it enables him not to take no for an answer- concerning any issue of life. The spirit of faith enables the believer, contend earnestly for the faith that was once delivered to the saint- Jude 1:3…

With the operation of the spirit of faith, a believer can take violent action in order to overcome temptation. He will take violent actions (both spiritual and physical) to come out of a controlling power.

He will never accept any anti-covenant condition as his destiny. Just like many folks have accepted masturbation and similar ungodly vices as their destinies. For instance, with the operation of the spirit of faith in the life of a lady, who has absolute commitment to righteousness, if she is involved in an intimate relationship with a man- with the prospect of marriage, and the fiance requests for pre-marital sex, she will tell him off and even end the relationship as fast as possible, without batting an eyelid.

The Spirit of Faith is a Patient Force: - The word of God says; “He that believeth shall not make haste” (Isaiah 28:16). So the individual believer, with the spirit of faith operational in his life, never get desperate over anything he is trusting God for. Desperation is a sign of unbelief…
The person who is fully persuaded and confident that he will definitely receive what he has prayed for, patiently waits for God to perform his word. He does not easily give up on God. He is relaxed, yet tenacious. He keeps praying and pushing until the answer comes (Lk 18:1-.

So all these among so many other supernatural features, are the attributes of the manifestation of the spirit of faith. So covet it earnestly from the Lord in the mighty name of Jesus.

Remain Blessed!

“We having the same SPIRIT OF FAITH, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak”—2 Corinthians 4:13

A few weeks back, as I was rebuking my course mates and friends concerning their sinful lifestyles, one of them asked; “are you righteous?” then I replied; “Yes I am”. Immediately I said that, he and others started fussing at me, for ever saying I’m righteous and holy…

But then, I called the one that was very infuriated, and in front of them all, I explained to him- with the above opening scripture, why I said I’m righteous. I told them, I believe God has made me righteous and Holy through Christ. Because the scriptures says, I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; and after my explanation, they were pacified.

Over the years, in my walk with God, I have discovered that no virtue of righteousness pleases God as much as Faith (Heb 11:6). And yet, so many Christian folks emphasize every other virtue, but undermine the indispensable place of Faith (which is the cornerstone of true righteousness)…

And as a result, the devil takes undue advantage of them, and they suffer unnecessary defeat in almost every areas of life. Even in the walk of righteousness, which they try and struggle to establish by the energy of the flesh and ‘powerless religion’ (gospel without power).

Hence, this article seeks to reveal scripturally the features or the fruits of the operation of the spirit of faith in the life of a believer, so people could seek and ask of it from God…

The Attributes of The Spirit Of Faith

1. The Spirit of Faith is a Believing Force: -- Heb 11:1: The number one fruit of the spirit of faith, is that it empowers you for absolute confidence in every revealed truth in the Word of God-The Bible. It enables you walk practically, in the reality of all the truth entrenched in the Bible.
2. The Spirit of Faith is a Speaking Force: -- 2 Corinthians 4:13; Matthew 17:20, Jesus says, “If you have faith, you will SAY…” and the opening scripture (2 Corinthians 4:13) also says; if you believe, you will also speak. So a remarkable attribute of the spirit of faith, is that it pushes you, to boldly speak out what you believe. To this end, anyone who cannot publically proclaim or profess what he/she claims to believe, does not believe enough.

For instance, I believe that I have dominion over sin; so therefore, I always proclaim publically that “I live above sin”. I believe Christ have given me power over all the powers of the wicked, hence, I have been publically declaring for years that “all the devils, witches, wizards and occult powers in the whole world, put together, cannot do me anything”…

I believe that by the stripes of Jesus, I was healed- so therefore, I always declare boldly that “Till I sleep in the Lord, or till Jesus returns, I can never be sick”. To mention but a few. And since I’ve been declaring them for years, it has been exactly as I have been professing them by the special grace of God.
3. The Spirit of Faith is a Driving Force: Another very important attribute of the spirit of faith, is that it drives you tirelessly to take practical actions in line with what you believe. You know, James says; we cannot say we have faith, without corresponding works (James 2:26).

For instance, when I gained admission into the university, I believed I must be among the best students in my department; because the Bible says I shall be the head and not the tail. And as such, I always ensure I dedicate myself to reading by the grace of God. And to the glory of God, presently, I’m one of the best students in my department.

So faith is not just an empty confession, it is action based…

4. The Spirit of Faith is a Daring Force:-- Daniel 3:16-18: Finally, as I try to round up this article to continue it in another post, I would want us to understand-amongst so many other features- that the spirit of faith is a daring force.

It empowers you to dare the ‘undarable’. And you do that for a righteous course or motive. Just as Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego, dared Nebuchadnezzar to do his worse, when he commanded that everyone must bow to his idol image.

It was the manifestation of the spirit of faith, that enabled my pastor- Dr. David Oyedepo (in Nigeria)- to proclaim publically that one million members of the Boko Haram sect can’t do him anything- and indeed they’ve not been able to do him anything since he proclaimed it.

It is the operation of this same spirit, that enables me dare any occultic agent that believes what I preach is empty, to come and meet me in my house in the night for a spiritual fight…

I have been making that proclamation in many of my public ministrations for years and have been going on victoriously (by the grace of God) because of the operation of the spirit of faith in me.

You too still need this righteous spirit in you. So you can dominate every situation of life. So you can begin to treat the devil and all his cohorts with great disdain. So you can begin to live above sin instead of struggling with it.

If you desire the spirit of faith, just ask God and he will fill you, instantly in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

Remain Blessed!

“But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy Kingdom”—Hebrews 1:8

A discussion of The Deity of Jesus, is simply a discussion of his Divinity. It is a discussion of his personality as the Almighty God- and not as a smaller God (god) under the Father- as many erroneously believe and teach…

Many a time, I have heard the “Evangelicals” teach that Jesus is a smaller God (god) than the Father. And their premises for that conclusion is that Isaiah 9:6, renders Jesus as “Mighty God” and not Almighty God…

Then their second position is that Jesus was created by the Father- and that, they support with Revelations 3:14 which says; “…The beginning of the creation of God.” And consequently, they’ve erroneously modified their customized Bible and translated the Lord Jesus to a small god, like every one of us (Thereby making Jesus equal with us)…

Thus, denying completely his Supreme Deity as God Almighty. Hence, this article, seeks to debunk and correct this demonic error, and point people to the true personality and glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, scripturally.

Because, if we do not understand his true personality or Deity, we’ll not be able to magnify and glorify him as we ought to. Instead, we’ll undermine him (in our hearts) in much the same way as the “Evangelicals”; and consequently, the declaration of his name from our lips, will not yield much results…

Debunking The Errors
Error 1: Jesus is The Mighty God and not The Almighty God

This doctrine is a myopic one, because there is absolutely no difference between ‘Mighty’ and Almighty, both in the original Hebrew and Greek meaning. They both mean-Exceedingly Powerful…

Then witnessing from the scriptures, Revelations 1:8, refers to Jesus as the Almighty. Though they may modify that verse as well, in their customized Bible to make it say what they believe…

Error 2 Jesus is a Creation

This also is another myopic doctrine. Although, the translation of Revelation 3: 14; seem ambiguous, in that it seem to say Jesus is the beginning of the creation of God, but the actual translation should have been; “The beginner of the creation of God” and this position is seconded by John 1:3 (you know, in the mouth of two witnesses is every matter confirmed)…

Verse 3 says; “All things were made by him (Jesus- The Word), and without him was not anything made that was made”. Hence, the one that made everything (minus nothing) couldn’t have been possibly created. In short, such reasoning is absolutely preposterous and demonic.
Who Then is Jesus Christ?

Jesus is the second person of the Godhead (1 John 5:7). He had been in, working and manifesting through the Father before creation—John 1:18; Ch. 14:10; Ch. 17:5, 21. However, his position as the second person of the trinity, is not hierarchical. The Godhead- Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, have exactly the same Deity…

The three of them, are exactly one entity.-Almighty God. Hence, Jesus is Almighty God, as much as the Father and the Holy Spirit, are Almighty God. And as such, he possesses all the features of Deity. Which are: Omnipresence, Omniscience and Omnipotence.

So he can be properly worshiped as much as the Father and the Holy Spirit can be worshiped. To this end, the Godhead is equal (absolute congruency) in Deity but unequal in authority. Jesus and the Holy Spirit has exactly equal authority in the Godhead, while the father has greater authority than the two of them.

This can be explained as follows:

When Jesus was about to be crucified, he introduced the Holy Spirit thus: “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever;”—John 14:16.

In essence, he was saying, he would pray the Father to send us a different person of exactly the same kind. That is from the Greek words “Allos Parakletos”…

But the Father, is greater than the both of them. And his greatness above them, is in terms of ownership authority- John 14:28; 15:26; 1 Corinthians 11:3; Ch. 3:23-and administrative authority- John 13:16; Ch. 14:10; Ch. 17:2, 8.

Finally, Jesus is the personification of the Godhead. That is, the Godhead in Form (manifestation). We only see or have access to the Deity of the Godhead through Jesus…

Hence, once we see Jesus, we have seen the entire Godhead-The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (John 14:16, 9-11; Heb 1:3; Col 2:9). Hence, if we get to heaven presently, it is Jesus as a person we’ll see on the throne.

This can be clearly seen from the book of Revelations. In the book of Revelations, it was Jesus whom John saw in the form of a living stone, seating on the throne (Rev 4:1-5) and at the same time, symbolizing himself as the slain Lamb (Rev 5:6)-with seven horns and eyes…

This can be understood by comparing Revelations 1:8 and 4:8. During judgment, both in the first resurrection and the white Throne Judgment, he will be the one seating on the throne to judge all of us-John 5:22, Rev 20:4-5; verses 11-15.

But in all, he reigns and rules under subjection to and the dictates of the Father, which dwells fully in him. Hence, the Father is all in all -1 Corinthians 15:27-28; ch 3:23; 11:3-and is glorified by and through the Son, Jesus Christ-Hebrews 1:3.

By the special grace of God, I have endeavored to prophesy the Deity of Jesus, according to the measure of my faith. But there is no one that can reveal the Deity of Jesus as much as the Holy Spirit. Ask him for further Revelations of the Deity of The Almighty LORD and Savior Jesus Christ; and I guarantee you, he will, if you lay aside every form of religion and be open hearted and minded.

Remain Blessed in Jesus Precious Name!

“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”—Matthew 4:17

The Kingdom of heaven is the same as the Kingdom of God. As we begin to unveil the mystery of the Kingdom of God, it is very necessary for us to understand the term, ‘kingdom’. A kingdom is a particular place with a ruling King. Hence, the Kingdom of God (or heaven) is a realm that is ruled by God…

To this end, every individual whose life and actions are dictated or ruled by God (in their hearts or spirit) are in the kingdom of God (Luke 17:20-21). When Jesus said, repent for the kingdom of God is at hand, he meant it in two broad sense.

If you check your dictionary, the phrase ‘at hand’ means: to be close- in terms of place (location) or in terms of time. Jesus meant ‘at hand’ in the two sense of it. He meant we should repent, because the kingdom of God is close to us in terms of location and in terms of time.

The locational closeness is the one we enter immediately we accept him. Then the time closeness, is the one we enter, when we’re resurrected or when we change this our mortal body for the spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:54), in the great beyond.

Hence, the kingdom of God or heaven is in two dimensions. One already here on earth (The locational-by faith), and the other in the great beyond- eternity in the New Jerusalem (after death, resurrection or transfiguration)—Mark 10: 30; Revelation 21:1-7.

Now from my own personal revelation (call it understanding), if you are not already enjoying the benefits of the kingdom of heaven here on earth, the chances are, you may not make it to the great beyond. Contrary to the teachings of the ‘evangelicals’, who believe that it’s only in the great beyond, we can enjoy the benefits of the Kingdom of God…

What Then Are The Features Of The Kingdom Of God or Heaven?

Any Christian who practically lives in the reality of the following supernatural, Christian consciousness, is already in the Kingdom of God. In other words, he is already living in the reality of heaven on earth.
Here are the features of the kingdom of God or Heaven:
1. Righteousness—“For the Kingdom of God is not in meat and drink; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and peace, and joy” Romans 14:17.
When a Christian lives a lifestyle of holiness, that is, living above sin, then he is in the kingdom of God. On the other hand, if an individual is living freely in sin, he is not in the kingdom of God yet.
2. Peace and Joy—from the above scripture (Rom 14: 17): Another glaring feature of the Kingdom of God, is peace and joy. You know, the type of peace, the scripture says, passes all human understanding (Philippians 4:7).

And the Lord Jesus said; ‘my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you’. And you can have this kind of peace and joy, even if you do not have a dime on you. Even if the whole world is collapsing. So if you do not have this holy peace and joy in your heart, check it- you may not be in, or may have moved out of the Kingdom.
3. The Kingdom of God (or heaven) is in Power—another great and important feature of the kingdom of God is the demonstration of the power of God. The kingdom of God cannot be in you (Lk 17:20-21), without the evidence of supernatural manifestations.

You know, Jesus said; ‘these signs shall follow them that believe…’ (Mark 16:15-19). Then again, he said in Luke 11: 20; “If I cast devils by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God is come upon you”. Hence, the proof of the Kingdom, is in demonstration of the Power of the world to come—Hebrews 6:5.

You can’t be in the kingdom of God and lack supernatural power. You can’t be in the kingdom truly, and still be oppressed by the devil and his agents.


If all these features outlined here, are not realities in your life, the chances are, you’re not yet in the Kingdom of God, or maybe you must have derailed. And you need to repent of your sins (including unbelief) and accept Jesus into your heart as your Lord and personal Savior…

To do that, say out loud; Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. I accept you today, as my Lord and personal savior. Wash me with your precious blood. Write my name in the Lamb’s book of Life. Thank you Father for saving me, in Jesus Name!

Congrats! You’re now a new creature, old things have passed away, and all things have become new. You’re now a recognized member of the Kingdom of God and heaven.

It is my prayer, that the LORD, keep you in his kingdom till the time of his coming, in Jesus Matchless Name!

Remain Blessed!

This year 2015 makes my cousin, Prince Aniobi’s business two years old. In a remote location, where no business have ever risen above the parapet. But by divine wisdom and direction, under two years, my cousin’s business has grown (and is still) growing in leaps and bounds…

In short, as a result of the grace of God over his business, all his contemporaries in the same location have been losing their customers to him. Not by his making or any dirty trick, but by the wisdom and special grace of God. And of course, with such result arises envy and even direct attacks- especially spiritual attacks with occult powers.

My cousin has narrated to me a few times, on how some enchantments have been manipulated against him, but by the mighty power of God at his protection, he had always conquered sweatlessly…

But the testimony he shared with me over the phone, is very remarkable, and I thought I should share it with all and sundry, in order to encourage their faith.

On Monday morning, as I arrived my office, as I tried putting things together, my phone rang, and as I checked, it was my cousin calling. As I answered the call, after exchanging pleasantries, he started narrating to me his glorious testimony…

According to him, there is an elderly man living close to where is business is located. And each time the man comes to buy something from him, after payment and he gives him his balance (balance of money), the man will be arguing with him. Arguing with him that his balance is not complete.

Then on the Sunday that just past, as he came back from Church service, this same elderly man walked up to him and began to confess to him. According to him, the elderly man confessed to him that all the witches (including wizards-obviously), have gathered for a meeting because of him…

And that they even gave him a diabolic money to give to him (obviously, as he buys from him) to spoil his money. But that the irony of it all, is that the money that was meant for evil, has turned out to be a good money for him. Then he proclaimed to my cousin, that nobody can do him anything again.

Then the next morning, according to my cousin, this same elder saw him and called out to him; “Pastor”, and said; “I said, nobody can do anything to you again”.

To God alone be the glory, for his great defense over his faithful children.

“THESE WORDS spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee… And now, O Father, glorify thou me with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” John 17:1, 5)

The word ‘Glory’ is from the Hebrew word ‘Kabod’ and from the Greek word ‘doxa’. Meaning: splendor, copiousness, grandeur, majesty, greatness, beauty etc… To put it in one single phrase- it means, Divine or Royal Decoration…

Recently, the LORD (The Holy Spirit) revealed to my spirit man, the awesome glory of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ as I requested of him in prayers. And since then, He has been giving me deeper and deeper revelation of that vision as the days go by. And more so, he has also been revealing to me how I and other true believers share in (or part-take) in these glories (Divine Decorations).

And since the very beginning of these revelations, my personal experiences can be best described as heaven on earth (even as I type this sermon). Hence, it seems good to me and the Holy Spirit, to share these revelations with others- so they can also part-take of these indescribable, supernatural experiences from the Glory of the Almighty God-Jesus Christ (Revelations 1:…

A proper grasping of these glory of our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, and how it robs off on you, will enable you represent Jesus better. It will enable you want to know him the more. It will enable you focus less on worldliness and more on the things above. It will enable you endure any form of persecution that will (or might) come your way (even unto death) because of the gospel or Christ.

When you realize the weight of these eternal glory, like Jesus, you will despise any pain and shame that comes (or may come) your way in your Christian pilgrimage-- Hebrews 12:2. A total understanding of these glory, will push you to absolute purification of your hands and heart. It will make everything in this present world (Including your life) have such a very insignificant meaning to you…

So What Are These Glory Of Christ?

The Glory of Jesus is the Glory of the Godhead (Colossians 2:9). That is, it is the Glory of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost (Hebrews 1:3; Lk 9:26). In order words, all the divine and royal, majestic symbol of the Almighty God, have been vested on the LORD Jesus Christ. And the LORD Jesus Christ in his infinite grace and mercy, has extended all these Majestic, Royal Symbols to us (John 17:22-23).

Hence, every true believer here on earth, represent Jesus as a miniature, quasi or model God (That is small gods)—Psalms 82:6; John 10:34. And this extension of divine glory is not to get us carnally puffed up, but rather for us to better be to the Glory (praise and worship) of his Almighty Deity (Divinity)…

Now here are the Glory of Christ, which we are part-takers of:

1. The Glory of Light—John 1:4-5. When the Apostle John (The Author of the book of John), Peter and James saw his glory in the mount of transfiguration, his Glory was the glory of light (John 1:14). When he also appeared to Saul of Tarsus on his way to Damascus, his glory was also the Glory of Light (Acts 9:3). When he appeared to John in his of revelation, the Glory was also the Glory of Bright Light (Rev 1:16).Hence, he is light personified; and he has extended this glory of shining light to us (Matthew 5:14-16; Rev 2:28; Dan 12:3).
2. The Glory Of Fire— When the LORD Appeared in Mount Sinai, he appeared in the Glory of a devouring Fire (Exod 19:18); and the scriptures also tells us that our God is a consuming Fire (Heb 12:29). And we are also part-takers of that glorious fire (Heb 1:7).
3. The Glory Of Stone (Gem): Another Glory of Christ Jesus is the Glory of Precious Stone. In the book of revelation of John, he sat on the throne with the glory of two gem stones: Jasper and Sardine stones (Rev. 4:3), then in the book of Peter, he is called the Living Stone (1 Pet 2:4). We are also part-takers of that Glory of precious stone—1 Pet 2:5-7.

So with all these revelations, every true believer of Jesus Christ, appears in the spirit realm, either decorated with bright light, Fire or Precious stone. I’ve only gotten testimonies of the first two glories. Which are, Bright Light and Fire. At a particular time, a Pastor friend of mine who has the gift of discernment of spirit, saw me (we didn’t know each other much then) and as he called me to himself and we got discussing, he testified to me, that God opened his eyes, and he saw a bright glory covering me.

Then for the glory of fire, one Michael Uzorma, in his book; “Occult Grandmaster Now In Christ”, Testified that, while he was in the Occult, each time he wanted to attack The great man of God-W.F Kumuyi – He always saw a devouring fire covering him, yet the fire was not hurting him. And as a result, all his mystical manipulations could not penetrate him.

Although, I have not seen all these glory visually once (except with my eyes of faith, in my spirit), I’m so conscious of these glories. And as I meditate on them, I do feel a very tangible anointing all over my being, that super-charges my body. And gives me a ‘heaven on earth’ order of Peace, Faith and Joy.

Hence, it’s my belief that if you will also accept this scriptural revelation of the Glory of our Almighty LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, You’ll also get the same (and even better) supernatural experiences in Jesus Mighty Name!

Remain Blessed!
