BREAKING THE POWER

What sins do you easily commit?

No matter how small that sin may seem to you, it is taken as a serious offense before God

"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." (James 2:10)
Therefore, " Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." (Luke 13:24)

"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."(Matthew5:48)

Do not console yourself about how small that sin is, instead try to identify your fault(s) bring God into the weakness in prayer in the Holy name of Jesus, and God will help you overcome just as dagon fell before the ark of God.
Amen

PRAYER
Father in the name of your Holy Son Jesus Christ, I invite you into my weakeness of _____(name each weakness).
I bring my fault(s) before your feet. Help me to overcome______ ,(name each weakness) by the power in the blood of Jesus.
Have mercy upon me O God
Lord please Wash away my sins and help me to resist the devil in my life.
Make me a better person I pray in Jesus Holy name
Amen

As you enter this new month of November, please make an effort to leave your life of sin in October.

DJDOLA: U mean jesus wear gold belt gold shoe..I need 2 plan wit some boys oooo make we go collect d gold belt and shoe oooo

...but to get to the belt and shoes from Jesus with "your guys", you and your guys will have to make it first to heaven
I'm sure Jesus will be glad to have you in heaven.
" seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and the gold belt and shoes will be yours, and you don't need to nick those on Jesus, because he'll give you yours

On a serious note, if you don't make heaven, you will be in big trouble.
Hell is not a place you will love to go to.

Jesus loves you and died for you to have eternal life, why waste your time and energy working against this free gift that God has prepared for you and your guys?
His salvation is available for you now, tomorrow might be too late.

If you want to be with Jesus, "you must be born again"

PRAYER
Lord Jesus, I come to you today that you may accept me as your own.
I believe that you died on Calvary for my sake, and resurrected on the third day to open the gates of heaven for me and my friends to enter.
Remember me in your kingdom.
Wash me in your precious blood and forgive give my sins.
Come into my life that I may be born again.
Thank you Lord for my prayers you have answered
Amen.

If you said this prayer, you are now born again.
Get a bible and read the new testaments, you can start reading from the book of John to have an understanding of what Jesus expects from you.
Join a bible believing Church.

Go and sin no more. (John 8: 11)

LET GO & LET GOD

What are your fears in life?
What bothers you?

"When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him." (1Sam 6: 2-4)

When you bring God almighty into your situation, that problem troubling you will crumble and fall without an option.
Make it a daily duty to bring God into your life troubles before you go to bed, and wake up each morning with your troubles sorted by the power of God.

"God is able to do more than you can ever consider",
Why not start this morning, talk to him about your worries every morning and night,and watch God move in your favor.

PRAYER
Almighty God and Father I lay my worries _____(name the worries) today at your feet, please. Father, show yourself strong in my situation, sort out my ____(name the worries) in your mercy.
Most importantly Father pls come into my life by the blood of your Son Jesus, and sort out my life in Jesus Holy name I pray
Amen.

MORE ALMS

One particular day two friends walked back home from a church function, discussing the events of a church service and enjoying a few laughs.
Passing by a small shop that sells food and snacks, they decided to stop for a quick snack.
After taking a few bites, they ordered a take away pack for home and continued on their way home, as they left, a young boy approached them.
The boy wore dirty worn out clothes and he asked begged for alms.

None of the friends gave any to the beggar.

Q. What was church service really about if we can give much offering in church, but yet cannot spare five naira for a beggar?

Q. Why pay for a meal of five hundred and above, but yet can't spare five naira to feed your neighbor?

God is watching

PRAYER
Father, give me a heart that considers the needy. Help me to give,and provide more forme that I may give more daily in Jesus holy name I pray
Amen

29/10/2013
GIVE ALMS DESPITE ALL

Most times after just leaving church and giving a worthy cash offering, while leaving the gates of church we ignore the miserable beggars who only asks for five naira or a meager token enough to buy a small bag of water not even a tenth of your offering money.

We may even judge the beggar saying to ourselves, "if i give it to this beggar, it will probably be used for drugs."

It will surprise you to know that sometime, angels come in disguise as these beggars and we ignore them and loose a blessing.

"For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me:"

May God have mercy on us and forgive every time we did wrong to the needy, and may God help us to do better from hence forth.

Just like we prepare our offering for church service, let us also prepare daily to give alms to a beggar or two,
"break some change to low denominations. Like 50 naira into five or ten places or more depends on what you can afford, and give at least 5 naira or ten naira daily to a beggars or two. whenever you can." I believe it will go a long way to help them.

God bless you as you do so in Jesus holy name
Amen

DO NOT BE IGNORANT

"Do you have sex in your dreams?" was a topic on an internet discussion that led to loads of comments and controversy.

"But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way" (Mathew 13:25)

We easily believe stories of magic, of ritual killings and ritual money making, but yet when confronted with strong tales of obvious demons at work, polluting the spirits of men, we shrug the tales aside and make a mockery of it, meanwhile most of us are actually going through such demonic manipulations or maybe worse, but hypocritically we deny it to make ourselves look good. (Gen6:1-4)

The devil is truly working hard to establish complacency in the church and we making his job easy by denying the deeds of these foul spirits (demons).

If you are having challenges pls don't hide it, Jesus Died to rescue you and me.
He died that you and I will not perish in our bondage, but that we may be set free through the blood of Jesus Christ.

If you need a change in your situation, pls take the first step of faith and pray with us.

PRAYER
Father, please forgive me for my sins, wash me in the blood of your son Jesus Christ.
I'm aware that you came to set me free, today i accept your salvation and deliverance.
I declare through the blood of Jesus that "I am free in Jesus name"
"By the blood of Jesus, I reject and uproot every evil seed sowed into my life by the devil"
Come into my life Lord Jesus and take total control of my life.
I surrender to you Lord in the holy name of Jesus
Amen

HEALING FOR YOUR SOUL

Scripture: "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

Is Your Soul Troubled?
I know you've been battling a lot of things in your soul. Worry about your future, regret over mistakes, consuming fear about what others think about you. It can be so overwhelming. God does not want you to live this way. He has a spacious, green, beautiful land for your soul to rest in, and He is inviting you into it. I want you to read the following promise from God to you out loud, and insert your name into it, because it's exactly what God wants to do for you.

PRAYER
The Lord is _______'s shepherd, ________ shall not be in want.
He makes _________ lie down in green pastures,
He leads _________ beside quiet waters,
He restores __________'s soul.
In Jesus holy name
Amen
(Psalm 23:1-3)

TIME OF FAVOUR

Within the space of one week, I have seen four or more burial procession, more than I have seen in my life time.

Many people today believe that death is an end to a means, but do not understand that death is just the beginning of a life in eternity.

Where do you want to spend your own eternity? It either in Hell or in Heaven

This choice is not for God to decide, but depends on you and how you decide to spend it today, tomorrow and as the days count on.

 For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you."
I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation. (2Coritnians 6: 2)

Decide today to change your ways to please God. Decide today where your eternity will lead

PRAYER
Almighty God, I accept that Jesus died on the cross that I may be saved and free of sin, come into my life Jesus and change my ways, bring to me to heavens gate and beyond.
I surrender to you.
Write my name in the book of life. Help me Lord in Jesus holy name I pray
Amen

A LESSON FROM Mr JOB

"There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. He had seven sons and three daughters and was soo rich; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually." (Culled from the book of Job)

Job knew the importance of seeking for forgiveness, and he sacrificed continually to obtain mercy from God.

How often do you go to God on your knees in prayer to ask for his forgiveness?
At times, we might not know when we may have sinned against God.

Make it a daily duty like Job, amend your ways daily before your maker.
Constantly seek and ask for God to have mercy on you "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not."(Lamentation 3:22)

PRAYER
Father please have mercy on me and on my family. Forgive my sins, wash me in the blood of Jesus. Give me the grace to constantly recognize my faults, and always to seek your mercy and forgiveness. Help me lord I pray in Jesus holy name
Amen

FUEL

Some days we wake up feeling empty and wondering how long will I have to be christian and miss out on all the activities of life.

The affairs of life dampens our spirits and make our hearts wander.
Our plans are not moving as we hoped, our dreams seem far from being realized and prayers seem unanswered.

Sometimes, we look back at our past and feel like a little bite wouldn't hurt.
Sometimes we really want to throw in the towel and move with the crowd.

Hold on.

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness;" (2Peter3: 9)

Be steadfast in your faith, "Trust in the Lord with ALL thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord"
God will do it for you!

PRAYER
Therefore now, Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning me and concerning my house be established.
Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever.
For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt establish me: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy me:
Now therefore let it please thee to bless me that i may be blessed before thee for ever in Jesus holy name
Amen
(1Chronicles17:23-27)

COOL DEFINITION

PRAYER:
"Prayer is an invocation or act. That seeks to activate a rapport (relationship) with a deity, an object of worship, or a spiritual entity through deliberate communication." (Wikipedia)

You can build a relationship with God today,
"Pray without ceasing" (1 thess. 5:17)..

When you pray often, you will begin to see God reciprocate to you in response to your prayers as He builds a relationship with you in Jesus name.

PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, blessed be thy name, thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven...

GIVING ALMS

The usual practice for me when beggars come to me is to shrug them off harshly or ignore them totally.
Do you know that they are the neighbors that Jesus asked you to love as yourself?

This one seems hard to handle, but it is a truth that we have to accept.

"For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me:
I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew25: 35-40)

May God have mercy on us and forgive every time we did wrong to the needy, and may God help us to do better from hence forth.

Let's try this today, "break some change to low denominations. Like 50 naira into five or ten places or more depends on what you can afford, and give at least 5 naira or ten naira daily to a beggars or two. whenever you can." I believe it will go a long way to help them.

God bless you as you do so in Jesus holy name
Amen

TAKE A MINUTE

For a minute, imagine God as your physical boss and his indicators to promote you in the next promotion exercise is how hard you have read your bible, how hard you pray and how holy you have been living, do you sincerely think you will be promoted?

Friend, seek Spiritual increase. Push for an increase in your prayer life. Re-double your study of God's Word, Increase your hunger and thirst for God. Increase your consecration to God. Increase your sacrifice. Deepen your christian experience beyond what you have always experienced.

Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's spirit,and in the process of time,he recorded double of the miracles that were attributed to Elijah. His Spiritual Increase led to a physical manifestation.

PRAYER
Lord,I want to keep growing in spiritual matters. I refuse to be a spiritual dwarf in my generation in Jesus Name
Amen

LIGHT OF LIFE

"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.."
"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."(Gen 1:3-4)

It is written "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." (John 8:12)

When God comes into our life, he brings Light, and that Light gives God the opportunity to be creative in our life and to give our life shape, color, substance and purpose.

If you do not have Jesus the Light of God in your life, you are like the earth before creation "Void and without form"

If you wish God to give your life meaning pls say this short prayer

PRAYER
Almighty God, I accept that Jesus died on the cross that I may be saved and free of sin, come into my life Jesus and bring in the light of God.
I surrender to you.

LET UR LIGHT SHINE

The bible makes us understand that man is made of earth, without God, man is void and full of darkness, just like it is written in the book of Genesis,

"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.."
"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."(Gen 1:3-4)

When God comes into our life, he brings Light, and the Light gives God more opportunity to be creative in our life and to give our life a purpose.

Light is synonymous with good works,
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)

Is your life an example with good works for children and adults around You to follow? If it isn't, please redirect it unto good works.

There is a clear cut difference between light and darkness, please,.."Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness." (Luke 11:35)

"Is there Light on your candle stick?".
LET IT SHINE with the evidence of good works!!

- Give alms to the poor,
- Pray for one another,
- Go to church
- Preach the gospel of salvation
- Avoid sin

PRAYER
Father, please forgive me for hiding my candle under a basket. Forgive me for my selfish way of life that has hidden your light from others.
Please help me to channel my life to show your goodness through daily good works in the name of Jesus Christ I pray
Amen

WEAKNESS

"1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps." (Matthew 25)

Praying, Studying the bible, Church activities and Fasting are the "Oil" we need to sustain our Christian life. When these are lacking, our strength will fail.

In the story, the five foolish virgins had no oil to keep watch for the return of the bridegroom, and as you continue to read the story, you'll discover that they missed out on the wedding feast.

When we do not Pray, Study the bible, go to Church activities and Fast regularly, we become victims instead of victors.

Buckle up your christian life and live the victorious life in Christ, fill your lamp with "Oil".

PRAYER
Almighty God I come before you in the name of Jesus.
Have mercy on me Lord, forgive me for my weakness. I ask for strength to follow you O my God. Help me to be a better christian. Fill my lamp with Oil as I make renewed efforts to follow you. Renew your spirit within me.
Thank you Lord for prayers answered in Jesus holy name I pray
Amen

MALE OR FEMALE

These days with sex change and all, asking a persons gender may not be out of place just to be double sure.

However, the question still being asked,
"Are you a Male or a Female?"

Without controversy, your sincere response will either be; I am male or I am female.
Here are some more simple questions;

- What country are you from?
- What is your name?

Without a thought we will provide the answers like geniuses.
One more question please:

"Are you born again?"

...and don't say it depends on what being born again means because Its as simple as John 3:3.

If you don't have a clear answer to the last question, please make a conscious effort to get one.

PRAYER
God almighty, thank you for this new week.
You gave your life for me about 2013 years ago that I may find mine today.
Help me to find and define my position in you.
I rededicate myself to you today.
Come into my heart and make me to be born again in Spirit and in Truth.
I ask Jesus holy name
Amen.

Reference Mathew 18:3

Please share with your friends and family.

WHEN RAIN FALLS

It is coming close the end of the rainy season In Africa, and soon we will begin to experience a lot of thundering which are signs of the season's end, then the rains will give way to the dry season until next year.

During the rainy seasons, when i see the clouds are heavy and it looks like its going to rain, I take along an umbrella, and I prepare not to be drenched by the downpour.

When I'm not alone, I share my umbrella.

It is wise to be prepared for a sure event, especially when we see the signs.

Do you see the Signs too?

Jesus is coming soon.
Are you prepared?

Jesus is saying to us; “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields." (Luke 10:2).

Make an effort to share your umbrella of salvation to people around you this week.

Touch a life with the message of Jesus.

Scripture tells us, "This is real love — not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins" (1 John 4:10).

PRAYER
Father please let the blood you have shed for me not be in vain in my life.
Forgive my sins, wash me in the blood of Jesus.
Prepare me and use me Lord as an instrument of your salvation in Jesus holy name
Amen.

These stories brought me to tears.
I thank God for the children and also for company that honoured them.
It is good to see how children are showing us the way to lead a good life.

It is written, "Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3),
A different quote reads "Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3)

You may ask, how can I be like a little child when I am old and have had negatively influencing experiences in life?

It's really easier than you think.
Being born again doesn't mean you have to go back to your mothers womb, it's an "actual" rebirth of your spirit by God through faith in Jesus.
Jesus is the Son of God who died on the cross for your sins so that you can have a Holy spiritual rebirth.

All you need to do is to
1. Quickly assess your life and how much you have deviated from the innocence of childhood (Recognise past errors and accept that you are a sinner)
2. turn to God in prayer and ask for forgiveness of all your sins (both known and unknown) and to renew your spirit
3. Ask God to fill your with his spirit to sustain your renewed innocence which you have asked for in prayer.

Prayer
Almighty God of I acknowledge that I have deviated from the innocence of childhood.
Father I am a sinner, and I have sinned against God and man.
Please forgive me for my sins, wash me in the blood of Jesus and convert me to your will.
Come into my heart and my life, take control with your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Christ holy name I pray.
Amen

Thank you Jesus.

FOLLOW UP
If you said this prayer, you are no more a sinner.

Pls maintain this new life,

MISERABLE MR JOE

Do you recall the story of "Miserable Mr Joe" shared on the 4th of october 2013.

To refresh your memory, the story was about a man named Joe whose family was attacked by robbers and tortured close to death.
He sacrificed himself for them and the robbers left the family members alone while Mr Joe was tortured to death in their place.
As life slipped away from his body, his wife crying by his side, he saw his family members laughing him to scorn.
He died miserable

Explaining the story;
- "Joe" is the Short for Joshua (or Jesus [pronounced Yeshua in hebrew meaning "Yahweh (the Lord) is Salvation"].
Jesus was in no way being affected by our pains, but came to received pain and torture in our place that we may be free from the wicked onslaught of the devil and his agents.

- "His wife" is the true Church (Christians) who accept Jesus as their Lord and do his will.
Christian means (Christ like) and the true Church that God will come for when our time on earth is over.

- "His family members" is the false Church (those that say they are christians, but are not) who are Christians only in words and in title for religion sake and live in sin.

- "Robbers" are the devil and his agents (the unsaved and those that reject salvation)

Christian means (Christ like) and the true Church that God will come for when our time is up here on earth.

Consider if Mr Joe didn't die but recovered thereafter, would he be happy with the rest of his family? What would be his next action?

Jesus died for your sake but unlike Mr Joe, on the third day He rose again from the dead that through faith in Him, we may have eternal life for souls who he is pleased with.

Is Jesus happy with your Christian life?

PRAYER
Lord Jesus, please forgive me, give me grace to follow you in the right way. I ask through the blood of Jesus
Amen.

Alwaystrue: @escavros,
Thanks. I hope it does get to play. It is a very nice combination.

I Finally played it WOW!
Thanks alot for sharing
Jesus is worth more than all the voices on earth in praise.

I look forward to heaven (smiles)
God have mercy on me in Jesus holy name
Amen

A GOOD CHRISTIAN

Today I read through the book of "Acts of the apostles", and learnt a lot about the early Christains and the church.

The below scripture wrapped up my study for the moment.

Acts 11: 25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Follow the outpouring of the "Holy Ghost", the. Church began to grow out of purpose to share the salvation of souls through Jesus of Nazareth.
In that wise, Saul (later called Paul) was saved, and the apostles took him up to groom him in the gospel of Jesus, he was groomed and the disciples were called Christians (meaning Like Christ)

After reading, something seemed to make a huge difference in their lives which was commonly found in each chapter, it is "THE OUT POURING OF THE HOLY GHOST"

Receiving the Holy Ghost was like a seal that confirmed the conversion from sinner to Christian.
It set the disciples apart from the jews, and made them much more like Jesus Christ.

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts2: 38) 

Do you have the Holy Ghost?
Are there signs to show it Is evident in your life?
Do you say you are Christian?
Do you live a life of sin?

If your answers are "Yes" to all the questions, you may not be a true Christian (like Christ), because Jesus Christ would not have four "YES"

Repent and be converted.

PRAYER
Father please forgive my sins, wash me in the blood of Jesus, and convert me.
Lord, thou art God which made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them.
And now Lord, grant unto me that with all boldness I may speak thy word in faith and power by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
Fill me with your Holy Ghost as you did your disciples in Jesus holy name
Amen

12/10/2013
WHEN "AMEN" IS DEAD

When we receive a word of prayer, in response to it, we say AMEN to acknowledge the message or affirm in faith or in agreement,

"AMEN" means let it be so, an affirmation of our understanding in faith of things to come.

Some say amen loud, while other say it quietly, but what is really important is not how heavy your AMEN sounds, but the life changes that follow;
The works that you do after saying amen is what is important


Was not Abraham our father justified by works,.. (James 2:21)

Saying AMEN without corresponding works to follow is a DEAD AMEN.

"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works." (James 2:17-18)

After taking out time to read todays message, please desist from smoking, drinking, fornicating, lying, stealing and other forms of sin especially after an affirmation to follow Jesus.
You will not be held innocent when the judgment of God comes.

Next time you say AMEN, take a corresponding step in faith and effect that change in your life God alone will not do it for you,

Jesus said "draw near to me and I will draw near to you"

PRAYER
LORD help me to be sincere to you and to myself in holiness and righteousness as long as I live, I ask in Jesus holy name
Amen

11/10/2013
AND WE SAY "AMEN"

A Christian once walked into a hospital, to visit a dying man, seeing the sorrowful state of the wife and everyone around, the Christian was moved to pray for the dying man. As he prayed, everyone (both muslims and christian) including the nurses who sympathetic to the situation in the room shouted AMEN!.
The joy of the prayer was the result of the prayer.

Everyday, we receive a word of prayer or message, and in response to it, we say AMEN to acknowledge the message.
Saying amen encourages the one who shares the word of prayer, but what truly encourages is the life changes that follows.

Jesus came to bring change to our life, to convert us from our old way of life that would destroy us, and convert us to His way of life that would lead us to God through his righteousness, and a life free of sin.

He has come to make your "AMEN" fruitful, but you have to acknowledge your shortcomings, and work towards a sin free life by accepting Jesus into your heart to be master of all that concerns you.

Jesus says "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt 11:28)

PRAYER
Almighty God, I have sinned, today I come to you as one who has fallen short of our glory. Forgive me of all my sins.
I accept that Jesus died on the cross that I may be saved.
Wash me in the blood of Jesus. That I be free of sin, come into my life Jesus, I surrender to you.
Erase my name from the book of hell and destruction, and write my name in the book of life for heaven.
I reject my life of sin and I embrace your way of righteousness. Help me Lord in Jesus holy name I pray
Amen

FOLLOW UP
If you said this prayer, God heard you.

Pls maintain this new life,
- start to read the Christian bible book of John to learn about Jesus our Lord
- Pray frequently in the name of Jesus
- pray and find a bible believing church for guidance and fellowship.

God bless you as you continue in your walk in Jesus Holy name.
Amen.

PREACH THE WORD and PRAY

Jesus is coming soon,and the Church is not prepared for the rapture.
YOU are the Church, don't point hands at pastors and priests or leaders of christian gatherings.

Jesus is saying to us: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields." (Luke 10:2).

Sometimes, it seems there is too much to pray for, and not enough people praying.

As of this writing, tremendous upheaval and civil war are occurring in at least three countries the Middle East in Africa. Economic breakdown in the US and Russia.
Governments in the West are spying on each other and preparing for wars.
- We experience news of mass public killings everywhere, while those in power persecute those with minority views or looks.
- There are earth quakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, plane crashes and world wide chaos.

All the scripture has said about the last days are here, and the indices show that this events are getting worse on a daily basis.

Jesus is coming soon.
What part are you playing to prepare the Church for the coming Jesus

Let us begin to do the work for the purpose we were saved. Let us go into all places and preach the Gospel of Salvation through Jesus.

Scripture tells us, "This is real love — not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins" (1 John 4:10).
His love extends not just to His people, but to all people; "God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish" (John 3:16).

Speak to 5 people daily and pray for them and teach them to do the same.
Remember Jesus is coming soon, let him meet us busy in his vineyard.

PRAYER
Father let your call in my life not be in vain. Help to deliver your purpose and the reason i was created in this life.
Let all things work together for good for me, let my life be a testimony of your message according to your purpose.
Forgive my sins, wash me in the blood of Jesus.
Prepare me and use me Lord as an instrument of your salvation in Jesus holy name
Amen.

[quote author=Rescue-me]Hello Nairalanders,

Please, I need your help. I have been in the yoke of satanic bondage for over 7 years now. I live
in Maryland in the U.S.

Please, do you know of any pastor that specializes in deliverance and casting out demons ? There
are demons in my body and I need a man/woman of God to help cast them
out.

My situation is so bad; everywhere I go in life na wahala.

God will bless you in responding to this.[/quote]Dear sir,

I just stumbled on your message, I apologise for seeing it years after, hopefully God has saved you.
Sin is the bedrock of all problems in our life, and Jesus who knew no sin conquered sin on our behalf that we may have access to also overcome sin through fellowship with Him, building a relationship with Jesus.

The first part of salvation is self actualization, acknowledging that you are asinner, if you acknowledge that if you are in such situation.

If you are having challenges dont hide it, Jesus Died to rescue you and me.
He died that you and I will not perish in our bondage, but that we may be set free through the blood of Jesus Christ.

If you need a change in your situation, pls take a step of faith and pray with us.

Prayer: Father, please forgive me for my sins, wash me in the blood of your son Jesus Christ.
I'm aware that you came to set me free, today i accept your salvation and deliverance.
I declare through the blood of Jesus that "I am free in Jesus name"
Come into my life Lord Jesus and take total control of my life.
I surrender to you Lord in the holy name of Jesus
Amen

Pls avoid sin, It destroys

Ishilove: @escravos,

The least you could have done was acknowledge the source. You got that article from deliveranceplace.com and it is an excerpt from Pastor Itiola's book "Spirit Husbands and Spirit Wives"

@Ishilove, thank you for the correction, noted and quoted

We Easily believe stories of magic, of ritual killings and ritual money making, but yet when confronted with strong tales of the actual demons at work, we shrug the tales aside and make a joke of it, meanwhile most of us sending negative responses to a matter as serious as this one presented here are actually going through such demonic manipulations, or maybe worse, but hypocritically deny it to make ourselves look good.

The devil is truly working hard to establish complacency in the church and we are making his job easy by denying the deeds of these demons.

If you are having challenges dont hide it, Jesus Died to rescue you and me.
He died that you and I will not perish in our bondage, but that we may be set free through the blood of Jesus Christ.

If you need a change in your situation, pls take a step of faith and pray with us.

Prayer: Father, please forgive me for my sins, wash me in the blood of your son Jesus Christ.
I'm aware that you came to set me free, today i accept your salvation and deliverance.
I declare through the blood of Jesus that "I am free in Jesus name"
Come into my life Lord Jesus and take total control of my life.
I surrender to you Lord in the holy name of Jesus
Amen

SPIRIT WIFE AND SPIRIT HUSBAND
In this article, I am dealing with a subject that is so personal and so private that those who have it don't like to talk about it. I'm talking about the issue of women, and many times men, who experience sexual relationships in their sleep.

There are three people affected by this. Those who have this relationship on a constant, ongoing basis; those that have this relationship on and off, and those who have this relationship but don't know they do because immediately after, it is wiped off their memory by demonic manipulation.

In my own opinion, the third group is the worst group to belong. Since they cannot remember the dream, they will not be able to do something about it.

If you have the problem of sexual encounters in your dream, the first thing I have to say to you is, relax. Just relax, don't be tensed up. Why? You are not alone. Statistics have shown that seven out of ten women experience this problem.

I read about a Pastor who has a church of over 30000 members. He decided to do an anonymous statistics on women and men that have this problem, and it turned out to be the same for the men as it was for the women- seven out of ten constantly or occasionally, have immoral relationships with men or women in their dreams.

FALSE FACES
These spirits have so mastered the art of deception that they will use the faces of people you are familiar with when they visit you at night.

There are women who have told us they see their dad coming to sleep with them in their dreams. We know that is the spirit husband using the face of the father. Your dad has nothing to do with this night encounter.

Sometimes they may even bring the face of your pastor, who fasts and prays for you. This is another manipulation in itself to make you look down on your pastor and distrust him. Trust me, it was not your pastor coming to sleep with you, he's not as debased as to do that. It is none other the spirit husband.

At other times, they'll bring the face of your husband. It's not in dreams that you're supposed to meet with your husband this way. Any experience like that is very questionable.

They can also come with the face of your brother, your boss and people around you. It's no other one but the spirit husband masquerading himself in these false disguises.

DESCRIPTION
These night-time [sometimes day-time] experiences are called encounters with spirit husbands and spirit wives.

In West Africa they call these dream visitors; 'night husbands and night wives.'

The Latin people of those days called it the 'encounter with incubi and succubi.'

If you look in the Webster's dictionary, Incubi is described as a spirit being that comes to have intimate relationships with women why they are asleep while Succubi is described as a spirit being that comes to have relationships with men in their sleep.

In Matthew 13:25, the Bible says; "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way."

The most dangerous part of your day is really not when you're driving on the highway, operating a machinery in a factory or doing construction work on a high rise building.

The most dangerous part of anybody's day is when you lay down to sleep. That is when the enemy does the most damage to the majority of people.

I will be deceiving myself to tell you that I know everything that needs to be known about this subject, but the little, tiny experience I've had over the years in studying, coupled with counseling and praying for people, I can say without any shadow of doubt that the problem of succubi and succubi is a very common problem that you cannot just dismiss with a wave of the hand.

What is so troubling is that many Christians who are saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Sprit, are also afflicted and affected by this problem. Out of ignorance and sometimes out of pride, these dear saints keep this problem to themselves rather that cry out for help.

Erica Joseph in a booklet titled "Sex with demons - Nightmares, Incubus and Succubus," had the following to say: "Sexual experiences with demonic spirits are very real even in this day and age. I have personally taken both men and women through deliverance, that have experienced this and some became bound by the spirits of Incubus and Succubus. I have personally taken both men and women through deliverance, where the witch or warlock has actually, through the use of astral travel, seduced them, having sexual relations with them as they slept, with them thinking it was only a dream. This having been done through the utilization of "Familiar" spirits.

In some instances, I have found that those spirits have entered in through masturbation and fantasy lust. If the individuals renounce the fantasy lust and stopped masturbating, they were delivered. I have taken several individuals through deliverance from those demons and I've found that people have been violated (raped) by spirits, not actually wanting to believe it or not understanding what happened to them until deliverance revealed it. But they know that they had experienced something painful and undesirable.

I have taken individuals through deliverance, that have felt the bed moving, felt their bodies responding uncontrollably, yet their rational, logical mind could not comprehend it. So they wrote it off as a dream. These demonic spirits that function in this sexually perverse way must be renounced and cast out, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Essentially, the incubus is a lewd demon which seeks sexual intercourse with women. It is also termed follet (French), alp (German), duende (Spanish) and folletto (Italian). The corresponding demon who appears to men is the succubus. When associated with one particular witch or sorcerer, both incubus and succubus are known as magistellus, or "familiar". Inasmuch as the nightmare dream is sexual in latent content, incubus is often used interchangeably with The Mare Demon; in fact, the Latin word for nightmare is incubo (to lie upon). The incubus can assume either a male or a female shape. Sometimes he appears as a full-grown man. Sometimes as a satyr or in the form of a demon, and if it is a woman who has been received as a witch, the incubus generally assumes the form of an animal.

Succubus is a demon in female form, specialized in seducing men. Although feminine in meaning, in form this medieval Latis word, succubus, is masculine (because demons were supposedly sexless) the feminine form succuba (strumpet) is occasionally found. If you have, or are having dreams or nightmares of a sexual nature that you know are as real as life, dreams where you cannot exactly distinguish the real from the unreal, please seek deliverance. Don't allow Satan and his demonic hosts to degrade your body which is the Temple of God."

REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES
A Pentecostal monthly publication once discussed the subject of deliverance in an eye-opening article.

In the article, the writer wrote about a strange deliverance session he conducted. He talked about a lady who he simply called Angel. Angel had been involved for some time in the occult. She and her boyfriend met the Pastor in a restaurant, looking like they had been physically assaulted.

Right there in the restaurant, a deliverance session began then the unthinkable happened!

A solid black chicken walked into the place. Yes, you are not reading a misprint. A black chicken appeared and this happened in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States of America. Gone were the days when stories like this were exclusive to Africa and Haiti. There is a lot going on in the Spirit realm all over the world. We are in the last days.

As the solid black chicken appeared, Angel's face gazed and became fixed on it. The hen hopped into a vacant chair ten feet away from them. Suddenly, Angel said to the deliverance minister, " I want an egg." When the minister approached the chicken, it jumped off the chair and ran to the door. It left behind the largest egg you have ever seen. The minister picked up the egg and brought it back to the restaurant table where Angel was being prayed for.

The terror on Angel's face was clearly evident when the egg was held out to her. She hid her eyes behind her hands. In response to the minister's prodding, Angel told odd tales of her life. She said that she is a bride of Satan. She was a wife to Satan. Then she explained that in the egg were the ten children she had through spiritual sexual intercourse with Satan.

When Angel met with the deliverance team again that afternoon, she told of how she had come from a broken home, and that she had engaged in perverted premarital sex regularly.

When the deliverance session commenced, she was handed the egg, which she had refused to even look at previously. She held it in the palm of her hand as the demons were commanded to leave. She was told to break the egg but recoiled as if to protect the egg. She said, "I can't break this egg!" but after authoritative commands to break the egg she turned down her hand upside down but amazingly the egg stuck to her hand as if it was glued to it. After more prayers were made, she let out a piercing scream and the egg shattered all over the floor. To their amazement, it was filled with blood- red fluid instead of a yellow yolk. That's how finally this lady was delivered. The problem we are dealing with in this book is real, unfortunately many ministers have no idea how many of their members are suffering in the hands of these wicked spirits.

I was in Africa a few years ago to attend a conference. After the conference, many workers who attended came to me expressing how night husbands and night wives are troubling them. "Unfortunately," they lamented, "Our church does not believe in dealing with issues like this, yet we are suffering and need deliverance."

If your church argues against the existence of this problem and voices opposition to deliverance, find a church where they you can be helped. God will not hold it against you.

THE EVIL EFFECT

How does the presence of spirit husband or wife affect a person? I know of at least three ways that I would like to discuss.

1. Difficulty getting married.
2. Difficulty staying married.
3. Difficulty having children.

Firstly, those who experience sexual encounters in their dreams will have difficulty getting married and if they make attempts to get married, all their attempts will be met with one frustration or another.

I have met with many men and women who in the natural should have no problems whatsoever in finding a spouse. Unfortunately because of the presence of these spiritual spouses, they are blocked from being able to get engaged and stay engaged.

One night I was ministering in a revival service. The Lord gave me a word of knowledge about a lady who was being troubled every night by spirit husband. A lady raised her hand and she was prayed for. This sister has suffered a lot from the hand of this evil personality. She was engaged in the church to marry a brother but mysteriously, the engagement broke up. Little did we know that it was the work of the spirit husband.

That night, the spirit husband came back but could not do anything to her because the Lord had broken that yoke during the revival. The spirit left and could not come back to defile her again.

Not too long after that she was engaged and the marriage was held without any problem whatsoever.

If you know you ought to have been married by now but for whatever reason cannot find someone to marry or cannot stay engaged, you probably are being troubled by the problem under discussion. See a capable deliverance minister for the prayer of deliverance.

Secondly, those who experience sexual encounters in their dreams are likely to have difficulty in their marital lives.

The Spirit husband or wife is very jealous and anyone who is married to the one they claim better get ready for war.

Many unhappy and broken homes today are as such because of the evil manipulations of these jealous spirits.

A sister in our church was recently delivered from the power of night husband. She told me to make sure I include her testimony in my book so as to encourage those who may be suffering the same fate as she suffered.

Her story shows how the presence of a spirit husband or wife can have a negative effect on a marriage.

For as far back as she could remember she had a sprit husband, who will come in to her every night and defile her. After she got saved, he was still coming every night. She told me that some nights, this man would have left before she would have any consciousness of the fact that he had been around.

During these encounters, she has very serious marital problems that defied solutions. Her marriage was at the brink of collapse.

One day, she just got up and told her husband, she was tired of the marriage. She took $1000 and moved out of the house. She went to the Penn station in New York City and boarded a bus not even knowing where the bus was headed.

She rode on the bus for about three hours till it got to Baltimore, Maryland. Then something told her to get off the bus and she did. This lady came out of the bus not knowing where to go since she had no contacts in Baltimore.

As she came out of the bus, a well-dressed man carrying a briefcase approached her, calling her by her first name. She was startled by the incidence since he is a total stranger to her.

"Who in the world are you?" she asked.
He replied, "Don't tell me you don't know me."
"I am telling you that I don't know you." She replied.
"I am your husband." The man replied.
"You are not my husband. My husband is in New York." Was her reply.
"I'm the one who comes to you every night in your dreams. Let us go, for I have spiritually manipulated you from New York to this place so we can spend some time together in real life." He further told her that after they are done in Baltimore he will let her return to New York but will henceforth call her out to meet with him at other locations all over the United States. He opened his briefcase and it was full of hard-core currency. He told her not to worry, she would be well taken care of.

When the lady got to this point of her story, I had to make sure I was in a counseling session and not in a dream. I then asked her if what she had said thus far happened in real life or she was just narrating a dream experience to me. Lo and behold, it was not a dream.

I then asked her what she did.

She said, "Pastor, my eyes opened and I pushed him aside, ran into the bus station to take the next bus to New York." However, before she left, the man said to her, "Where are you running to? You can run, but you can't hide. I don't have to get on the bus to be with you in New York!"

She got on the bus the same night and arrived in New York in the early hours of the morning. When she got off the bus in New York, guess who was waiting for her?…the same "man" she left in Baltimore a few hours earlier.

With a grin on his face, he said to her, "I told you that you're mine and I'm yours. No circumstances can change our decision, so you might as well stop running."

She pushed him out of the way and took a taxi home where she quickly made up with her real husband.

It was this incidence that brought her to me for deliverance. The man never surfaced again after her deliverance.

Many who have spirit husbands and get married in the physical end up having problems in their marriages.

The fact of the matter is that the spirit husband is very jealous. He takes marriage to another person as a sign of unfaithfulness and will not give up without a fight. Sometimes not only is the marriage attacked, the husband in the physical is also attacked in one-way or the other by the spirit husband. There have been cases of men who have died mysterious and violent deaths as a direct result of attacks from the spirit husband.

At other times the spirit husband will separate the husband from the wife making it hard for them to live together under the same roof.

The final evil effect of the presence of spirit husband and spirit wife is the difficulty in having children.

We have had to deal with many cases of barren women who the doctors cannot understand the cause for their barrenness. They have been thoroughly examined and no medical reasons are found for their inability to reproduce.

In many of these cases, during deliverance sessions, the spirit husband manifests contesting our right to dislodge him from blocking the lady. The anointing that destroys yokes has set many women free during these sessions resulting in the birth of healthy babies sometimes after decades of childlessness.

At other times diseases of the reproductive system is introduced into the woman thereby making it difficult for her to conceive.

Alwaystrue: @escavros,
Amen. Thanks so much for your last posts. Indeed God asks us questions so we can with our mouth confess what we believe and be saved.

The Ephesians 3:20-21 again made a mark 'Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine ACCORDING to His power that is at work WITHIN us....! Wow! What level of power do we allow God to work within us, to what level do we believe God enough and believe in His power in our lives.

Do you know the acapella song that has the lyrics of the above scripture? Awesome.

Thank you and God bless you for sharing.
I can't seem to get it to play yet, I hope I does play so I could share the video experience.
Thank you again for sharing

HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS

"Holiness" is really about how often you come to God for forgiveness, making very sincere efforts not to repeat the same mistakes.

"Righteousness", can only be imputed by God.
Noone on his or her own become righteous for it is written that "our righteousness is like a filthy rag to God", this means that on our own, we have no hope of redemption.

But no need to fear, God has a solution to redeem you and me. He sent His righteous Son Jesus Christ to be condemned on our behalf so that we may be saved from our unrighteousness through his blood.
And the blood of Jesus Christ washes away all our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Do you believe that the blood of Jesus is able to wash away your sins?

 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
(Hebrews 9:13,14)

Jesus has paid the ultimate price for you. Come to him today.
Let's us renew our faith in Him.

PRAYER
Almighty God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I Thank you for the gift of life, for the gift of health and for the gift of abilities.
Thank you for the change you have begun in my life, thank Lord for delivering me from the bondage of sin, forgive me and wash me in the blood of Jesus.
Father, pls help me to stay free from sin, draw me closer to you in Holiness and in Righteousness I ask in Jesus holy name
Amen.
