BETWEEN TODAY AND TOMORROW....Read This!
Some years back, about 9 years, I was so unattractively slender for lack of food, and I was looking for means to gain weight at least to look presentable as a single. But today, I am making effort to lose weight.

AND WHAT ABOUT YOU?
Between your present today and coming tomorrow?

Today, you as a single brother or sister, or you are already in a marital relationship, but devil is tempting you with pre-marital sex or at least little romance or kissing, you know what? tomorrow when you get married, your spouse will ask for sex and you will feel tired or not in mood, when you have enough. So why will you ruin your destiny today because of what you will have more than enough tomorrow? Why?

Today, you don't have enough food to eat and devil is tempting you to do something sinful because of getting supply of food, but soon tomorrow, you will want to reduce your food in-take and even avoid it sometimes when you have enough. So, please don't ruin your destiny because of food like Esau.

Today, your problem is not having clothes enough to wear, but tomorrow, the problem will be how to choose from many clothes to wear.

Today, you are single and waiting like forever and you are busy counting your age, but soon tomorrow, you will forget about your singleness, your waiting period and even your own age, and you will start counting the ages of your children, marking their birthdays and your marriage anniversary.

Today, after marriage you are having problem with child-bearing, but soon as God is about to visit you now, you will be having problem with stopping bearing child.

Today, you are having problem with getting job, but tomorrow God will be using you to give jobs to people. So why will you falsify document or information to get job and forfeit God's special plan for your life?

Today, you apply for visa to travel abroad with no success, tomorrow you will be travelling abroad with ease.

Today, your life is threatened by a terrible sickness, but tomorrow, you will be giving testimonies of terrific, miraculous healing of God.

So what is the situation with you today? Do not feel inferior, do not feel sorry for yourself and do not feel like going to sin against God.

Between your present situation today and tomorrow turnaround, we must focus on God alone and follow Him till the end.

Today, you are reading this message of hope and prophecy, but tomorrow you will look back and remember and give glory to God!

God bless you

CONTINUOUS BLESSING OF GOD IN SIN

God brought the children of Israel from the bondage of Egypt to journey to the Promised Land. On their way in the wilderness, they sinned against God, ran into idolatry, yet God did not remove His pillar of the cloud that guided them by day, nor the pillar of fire by night. Nehemiah 9:18-19:
“Even when they made a molded calf for themselves,
And said, ‘This is your god
That brought you up out of Egypt,’
And worked great provocations,
19 Yet in Your manifold mercies
You did not forsake them in the wilderness.
The pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day,
To lead them on the road;
Nor the pillar of fire by night,
To show them light,
And the way they should go.

The fact that you are still witnessing continuous testimonies of blessing in your personal life, even though you have been compromising and continuing in sin, it does not serve as an indication that God is overlooking your sins or He does not count them, and it does not mean God will not throw you into hell if you die in that covered-up or common sin.

That you still hear from God personally or God keeps speaking to you through His prophets does not serve as a barometer that you are pleasing God. The children of Israel sinned against God and excruciatingly displeased Him, yet he kept the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire to guide them. But continuous self examination in the Word of God, watchfulness, prayer-fulness and fruitfulness in the Word of God are the right indexes and parameters for your spiritual condition.

God bless you!

YOU KNOW WHY?
About 9 years ago, I was working laborer at building sites and I decided to take these pictures. You know why? Because I believed I was a success story in the making and I knew it was a matter of time as long I focus on the Lord and follow Him.

And you know what? Your present situation is just a story in the making and a matter of time as long you focus on God and you don't get distracted, disappointed or discouraged by anything!

DESTROY IT!
Acts 19:19, "Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all."

After you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, one of the important things you need to do immediately is to check everything that belong to you if there is any property or portion of the devil you will need to renounce and destroy.

In the city of Ephesus, after the people received the gospel of Jesus Christ into their lives, many of them who had been practicing magic, gathered everything together and burned them.

Satanic Magic, Sinful Materials, Worldly Music & Movies
You cannot serve God in new life with old materials and covenant of the devil, you must renounce the secret cult, the satanic covenant, and you will also need to destroy all the weapons and materials of the devil given to you. Those things in your house which you kept, inserted into your body, or hid somewhere, must be renounced and destroyed.

Because you cannot serve God and devil together, you can not be a genuine child of God and still agree with ritual mark on your body; you cannot be a genuine child of God and still believe in family ritual and sacrifice; you are not yet genuinely saved in Christ if you still keep the magic book, rings and others in your possession. When you totally and genuinely surrender your life to Jesus, you will renounce and destroy every of those things in your possession.

God does not accept our 99%, He only takes our 100%. Those who give 1% to Satan and sin, and give 99% to God will eventually loose all.

When you give your life to Jesus Christ, greater is He that is you than he that is in the world, so you need not to be afraid to destroy those properties and materials of the devil you collected when you were in the world, you have no need to be troubled about their threats and you must not delay to renounce all the covenants you made with satanic people or churches before you know Jesus Christ as your Lord.

Do not cover the secrets they told you never to say out to anybody. Fear works for and with Satan to keep people in his bondage, but when you know the Truth, He will set you free.

Are you ready to be free from the bondage of satan and his agents? Then accept Jesus Christ into your life and house, confess your sins, confess Jesus as your Lord, and renounce all the covenants of the satan. All powers in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus Christ, and when that Jesus is living in you, no power can overcome you; In Jesus is perfect protection, in Him is total peace of life, in Him is provision without pain, and in Him is security and success. What are you looking for?

If you need godly counsel and prayer on how to destroy the past materials of the devil, please contact us in this ministry.

Genuine salvation comes before total setting free.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18, "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore

“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE RESTITUTION IS A MUST AFTER SALVATION THEN ANSWER THESE:

Why do you pray that people should do restitution when you don’t believe in the biblical teaching of restitution?

A man left his wife with children for another lady because of little misunderstanding, and every effort to reconcile him with his wife was futile. Then the man continues to live with the strange lady. So when you see nothing can be done humanly to settle the matter, you said, “God will touch the heart of the man so he will return to his wife” That is it! You believe when God touches a man, he will correct his wrongs, which is restitution. But how come you say teaching of restitution is not true? Why can’t the man continue to live with a strange woman after God touches his heart?

You saved money for many years to purchase a plot of land, and thereafter a man, because of his collection and influence in the society, manipulated everything and dubiously snatched the plot of land from you without paying you money. You want to take up the case to law court, but as you hire a lawyer, he hires 10 lawyers, as you present a paper, he presents 10 papers. Then he wins the case and gets the plot of land from you. Since nothing else you can do, you pray God will touch and save him. Why such prayer? Because you believe when God saves him, it will be mandatory for him to return your plot of land which you got through your hard earned money – that is restitution.

But what if after God save him, and he begins to preach gospel everywhere and even come to your house to preach to you, going on radio and TV, and yet, he refuses to return your land, claiming it is a past and God has forgiven his past, no more condemnation and no need for restitution. Will you believe the salvation or and ministry of such a person? Unbelievable!

Exactly it is! Anyone who is saved and rejects the call and teaching for necessary restitution is having a doubted salvation, unbelievable!

It’s logically and spiritually impossible to reject the biblical teaching and necessity of restitution. Any church or pastor anywhere who ignores to believe and constantly emphasize on the importance of restitution is anti-Biblical entity with no eternal life.

THE SIN OF THE PAST THAT HUNTS THE PRESENT
....in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ. Romans 2:16.

A sin you committed before you gave your life to Jesus, or before you rededicated your life to Jesus, though you have repented and confessed it to God, and you have stopped it, but you are keeping it secret from men. Secret sin is a sin you keep secret, even if it is in the past, even if it has stopped, but as long you keep it secret from some necessary people you ought to share it with, it is a secret sin - though it is in the past but it is presently haunting you and standing against you. As long you keep a past sin secret, what you are actually doing is that you are making it fresh and present.

Until you open up every secret sin of the past to the necessary people, until you confess to the necessary people and put the sin and Satan to open shame, you are still under the bondage of that past sin. After you are saved, you committed sin and you rededicated your life to Jesus, then you will still have to open up to some people. For example, a premarital sex, but you both have repented and now married, yet, you need to confess.

Listen to what Apostle Paul said, "But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God." 2 Corinthians 4:2.

From this above Bible verse, Paul did three things which every child of God must do:

1, He renounced the hidden things - those sinful and sinful things of the past were repented and rejected by Paul.

2, He manifested that truth by making it clear to men, "but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience." This is by confessing to the necessary people about the sinful and shameful things we did in the past, though we have renounced them, but we must make them clear to the right people. Many Christians are being deceived by Satan that, since they have confessed to God, no need to confess to their parents, partner, pastor, or boss; they say, "I have confessed and stopped it, so I have a pure conscience before God, and that is all." Beloved, having a pure conscience before God is good, but not enough, you need to have a pure conscience before men too. Paul said, "But by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience".

3, He manifested that truth to God, "but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God." He totally repented and never gone back to such sins again, even when no man would see him, even when men would say it does not matter or it is not bad. Paul said he is now commending himself to every man's conscience in the sight of God. He knew God saw everything, and he lived in truth before God according to God's standard, not church's standard.

Until you make clear the past before God and men, your past sins are still presently fresh.

DO NOT WORRY!
Matthew 6:31, “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

This is a straight command from Jesus Christ to all His children, "Do not worry" Worry does not solve problem, it does not settle situation, but it weakens people and worsens things. To be worried is to be disturbed and anxious about thing, situation or people.

DANGERS OF WORRY!
(1) It kills faith. When you allow worry, you are burring your faith alive.
(2) It distracts Christians from putting their total trust in God.
(3) It brings discouragement. Worry only shows you how impossible and terrible things are, worry can not encourage you or give you right solution, but only to make you discouraged.
(4) It weakens prayer life. Worry weakens prayer life, it shows you that prayer can't solve the matter on ground; it tells you God is not or will not help. The major assignment of worry is to weak prayer life; when you allow worry to linger in your heart, your prayer life will be lost.
(5) It leads to sinful alternative. When worry is almost through with its assignment in a Christian's life, there will begin suggestions of sinful alternatives; since your faith is weak, your prayer life is down, the next thing is to think of sinful alternative. That is how many Christians backslide.

{You cannot wait on God while you are worried! Worry drains and dries strength to wait on God}

(6) It destabilizes health, relationship, and zeal for God's work.

(7) It is from Satan. Do you ever wonder where worry originates from? Well, it is not from Jesus, because Jesus warns us never to worry; worry is a spirit from Satan to steal your hope in Christ, to kill your faith and to destroy your life. Please, do not allow him.

If you are a child of God, worrying is like shooting yourself in the foot, because it only brings harms and no good.

SOLUTIONS FOR WORRY
Worry is not something that you have to invite before it comes, it will always come uninvited, because it is an emotional intruder; it will always come no matter your spiritual level and strength. But there are ways to block worry, that it will never have a chance in your life again.

From Matthew 6:25-34, we can find these solutions:
Rest On God And Resist The Devil
When things are running down, when time is running out, and when people are running here and there, you just rest on God, because God is right there with you. Never entertain devil's suggestion of worry, but resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Matthew 6:31, 32
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things."

Pray About Everything
You have a choice: Pray or worry! You can't do both together, because one of the most stupid things a Christian can do is to pray and worry at the same time. Do not worry after you pray. You can worry without prayer, but no need to worry after you pray. Pray and never panic again.

Philippians 4:6
"Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks." NCV

Best Alternative
Sometimes, worrying may seems unavoidable, but there is a better alternative for worry in every situation, no matter how tough: instead of worrying, rather watch out for the wonders of God coming on your way. Walk by faith through the Word of God, busy yourself in the work of God and wait for the best.

Make Heaven Your Priority
When you make heaven your first priority, whatever happens or does not happen in this life will not lead you to sin against God; when the kingdom of God is your priority, situation of this life will not weigh you down from doing God's work. You have read about saints of old who kept serving and working for God despite difficulties? It was possible for them because they made heaven their primary focus.

CONCLUSION
Whatever the case may be, here is a message for you from your Lord and Savior: Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. - Jesus Christ, from Matthew 6:31-34.

HE CARES, YES HE DOES!

MY 10 YEARS EXPERIENCE OF READING ONLY BIBLE
From 2008 when the Lord began to prepare me for the ministry He had for me, I started reading Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and that I have been doing for these 10 years: 2008 to 2018. Looking back, I discover I have not read any book except the Bible for these 10 years, not that I decided to or planned to but I just looked back and realized it has been so. Not even Christian book, devotional book, business book, manufacturing book, but God made it so, He restrained and retained me on reading and studying only Bible morning and evening as much as possible for this 10 years. Now, these are the things only Bible has done for me in these 10 years:

In Ministry
I started ministry in 2012, but I never been to ministry school, Bible school or any ministerial training school or read ministerial books except the Bible; I don’t read books to get message except Bible, and God has given about 300 messages from the Bible in these 10 years. God has used these messages to win souls, blesse lives, ministries and marriages worldwide. I have preached online, on whatsapp, in seminars, in churches, in programs and on radio these messages the Lord revealed to me from the Bible. If you come to my ministerial library in these 10 years, you will only see Bible.

In Business
I started business in 2013 with my dear wife, but I never read a single business book these 10 years except Bible. I get my business ideas from the Bible, I get my business seminars and training from the Bible. We started over our business with about N60,000 in January 2014, and we made about N6000,000 that same year, and God has been helping us till date. All the ideas I get from the Bible alone. I got my new business name from the Bible.

“You can’t succeed in business in this 21st Century without reading, and that I do but reading Bible alone.” Gideon AKANDE

There are so many great and hidden secrets of successful business in the Bible more than any book or all those prosperity books. And the amazing good thing is that you will get them free of charge in the Bible by the help of Holy Spirit. If you come to my business office, you will see Bible as my business master book.

In Production
I get secrets of ingredients for better and unique production from the Bible and it has been so amazing to the world. For example, when I started reading Bible again this year, I read where Jesus rebuked the scribes and Pharisees, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Matthew 23:23. Already, we use mint and anise in our production, but I am going into research benefits of combination of mint, anise and cumin for skincare, hair care or for personal healthcare.

I got name for our product from the Bible. When I went to trademark office at the ministry of trade and industry in Abuja to do trademark, all the other names I had in mind were either disqualified or had been registered by another company except the name God gave me from the book of Genesis in the Bible.

In Business Management
So far in the business, by God’s grace, we have 10 full time workers and 4-part time workers, in managing the business, dealing with workers, dealing with distributors, strategizing, envisioning, progressing, expanding and so on, we get ideas from the Bible and guidance from the Holy Spirit.

In Conclusion
I didn’t plan to find myself in reading Bible alone for these 10 years because there are lots of wonderful Christian and business books out there, but I thank God that I’m blessing reading my Bible alone in these 10 years, it has been great! I read Bible for my spiritual life, ministry and business enrichment. There is no book on earth as so loaded with blessings, power of God, inspiration, understanding, knowledge, wisdom, comfort, assurance of the present and future as BIBLE.

If we read Bible from Genesis to Revelation for 1000 times, we can’t exhaust up to 35% of its treasury reserves, and we can’t exploit or utilize the spiritual, financial, ministerial or marital enrichment of the Bible up to 30% even if we study it 2 hours per day. The Bible is so heavenly enriched and it is renewed every day that if you have read from Genesis to Revelation last year, it will be as if you never read Bible before if start over again this year.

Reading Bible is good but you need to repent and be genuinely saved before it will make a great sense and profit for your soul, spirit and body. Without genuine salvation that gives you the Holy Spirit, reading Bible becomes boring, wearisome and tiresome. Because Bible is not just a Christian religious book, but a Christian personal relationship Book with God.

I think you are blessed by this testimony? Be more blessed as you read, study and meditate your Bible every day! Hey, you can still read your Bible from Genesis to Revelation this year if you determine to do so.

NOTE: If you are a new convert, you gave your life to Jesus this year 2019 and you don’t have a Bible and you can afford to get one, please send your name and address to realitywithjesus@gmail.com and we will arrange to get one across to you within a short time as much as we can.

God bless you

A THOUSAND YEARS LIKE A DAY!
Do you know what it mean?

You know the word of God says "But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" That is in 2 Peter 3:8.

A thousand years in heaven is like a day, because of so much glorious, glittering, gorgeous, dazzling, magnificent, sumptuous, spectacular, resplendent, opulent, luxurious, palatial, deluxe, rich, expensive, lavish, ornate, elegant, handsome, beautiful, stately, majestic, kingly, princely, regal, lovely, delightful, amazing and fantastic CELEBRATION and ENJOYMENT all day, and its environment!

Also a day in hell is like a thousand years because of so much dreadful, horrifying, horrific, horrendous, frightful, fearful, awful, terrible, shocking, appalling, hideous, grim, grisly, ghastly, harrowing, gruesome, heinous, vile, nightmarish, macabre, unspeakable, hair-raising, spine-chilling; loathsome, monstrous, abhorrent, detestable, hateful, execrable, abominable, atrocious, sickening and nauseating AGONY and SUFFERING all day long, and its environment!

So you can see that there is nothing too much we can do for heaven's sake and there is nothing too much we can forbear or forgo for the sake of escaping hell.

Your decision and lifestyle today determine your eternal destiny. Please, let's do everything possible to make heaven and escape eternal condemnation!

Matthew 5:30, "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell."

7 TIPS ON HOW TO OVERCOME TEMPTATIONS & ADDICTED SINS (Part 2)

(2) TAKE A SITUATION AT A TIME
When temptation comes in an overwhelming manner, the devil will whisper to you, “Look, you are so weak, you cannot survive this. Even if you resist it now, what about tomorrow? What about next week? What about next month? Look at yourself, pretending. You can't make it, it is better to surrender now, God will understand." That is a plain lie from the pit of hell; the truth is that when you overcome it now, you will overcome it later. Each victory will grant you more strength against the next temptation. Take it at a time; God who helps you to overcome this will help you better to overcome the next one. Don't be bothered by tomorrow temptation, for grace comes when the temptation comes. "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:12-14

(3) THINK THE RIGHT WAY!
The beginning of falling into temptation is by thinking about the benefits of the temptation. So, don’t think about the benefits you will enjoy in that temptation, but think about the Word of God, think about the displeasure the temptation will bring to your Lord and Savior, think about the destruction the temptation will bring on your destiny, think about the WORD of God and use it to resist the devil. Devil will suggest the benefits, pleasure, gain, etc in the temptation, but you must reject such and think about the Word of God and how terrible you will displease your God- displeasing your loving Savior? ….How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” Genesis 39:9

(4) COMPARE!
Compare the magnitude of the consequences, of breaking your promise to God just for the minor/momentary pleasure of the temptation. How will you loose everything just for nothing? Consider your dedication unto God, the grace of God upon your life, the anointing of God, the growing nature of God in your life, the joy of salvation, the peace and presence of God and the confidence of heaven; think about how everything will vanish if you fall into that temptation in which you may not even have a second chance? Satan will present temptation to sin as simple as doing it and going back to Jesus for forgiveness. That yours is to sin and God's is to forgive, that God will understand. All these are satanic devices and you must not be ignorant of them.…..Hebrews 12:15, "looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; 16 lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. 17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears."

7 TIPS ON HOW TO OVERCOME TEMPTATIONS & ADDICTED SINS (Part 1)

As a Christian, after you genuinely give your life to Jesus and become a new person in Him, your soul is saved and washed by the blood of Jesus Christ , your conscience is cleansed by His blood and your spirit is restored in connection with God. But your body is not affected by the spiritual transformation. When you are saved, you will not see any change of color or stature in your body as a result of the salvation of your soul. It’s the same unaffected body that will want to drag back you into sin, into old life, because your body has nothing to lose, your body has no heaven to go, your body is a mortal and dust. Your body is temporal, it’s earthly and will disappear by reason of time. It is that same body that the devil uses to drag people back to sin after they are saved.

The body, your flesh, influenced by Satan, will demand contrary to the Spirit of God inside you, will want you to please it and displease God. This flesh, your body, brings temptation and want to retain the ungodly pleasure it is used to, and that is addicted sin and temptation in your new life in Christ Jesus. Addicted sins are the sinful lifestyles, things or attitude we were used to before we became born again. And they want to come over again in our new lives in Jesus. And temptation, it is ungodly suggestions of Satan into your mind, simple!

The purpose of temptation is to make us sin against God and against our own souls for destruction. The object of temptation is from outside, but the desire and suggestion is from within. So then, temptation is a seduction to sin, either old addicted sin or new general, common sins. Temptation comes on a daily bases and on different bases; your personal relationship with God depends on how you overcome temptations. We need to know that temptation itself is not a sin, either from within by our thought or from without through people or things, it is falling into temptation that becomes sin; it is also a sin to get or go close to the appearance of sin. It is sin to go or get close to what you know may lead to sin by using vain boldness which is tempting God and the Bible commands us not to tempt God. Temptation comes from within or without, from your mind, your body, your feeling; from people, from Satan; pressure, persuasion or persecution, but the good news is that the power lies on you to decide, to sign or silent the temptation; that is your power of decision. Here are 7 tips that will always help us to overcome every form of temptation or addiction on our ways:

(1) HOLD YOUR PEACE AND SEE THE TEMPTATION FADES AWAY
The undiscovered truth about sin is that behind every sin in life is a demon, satanic spirit that inspires people to that sin. Every persuasion and pressure to sin comes from these assigned demons; they use people, our feeling, minds and flesh to persuade us. The real image was made clear when Satan was tempting Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus was seeing Satan clearly because Jesus could see everything. We may not see Satan or his demons when they come to persuade us to sin, but we should do what Jesus did. When this pressure of the addicted sins or persuasion to sin come, it will be as if you cannot survive it, as if you cannot do without it, you know what? Just hold your peace and look beyond the people or the objects of the temptation and do as Jesus did: rebuke the demon behind in Jesus name. "Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan!" and the next thing, "Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him." Matthew 4:10, 11.

Don't bother yourself about the pressure within or without, Satan is behind them, pushing them to persuade you. You may feel as if you are so weak to resist, but don't fall anyway. Since you don't use your power, you use the Word of God and name of Jesus to resist Satan who is behind every sin. The pressure to sin, to have sex, to smoke, to lie, to masturbate, etc. will overwhelm your body and feeling as if you will die if you don't do it, it is not so; you just hold your peace with God's word and you will see the feeling going down. The demon of that sin cannot stay long, there is a particular minutes and period of time God permits Satan and his demons to tempt and pressurize us, and thereafter they fades away, if you hold it and resist in that period, and you will overcome. The temptation and pressure to sin can come few minutes and last for few months, it may be an overwhelming thought or pressure for lust of the flesh, notion for lust of the eyes, or temptation for pride and worldly cares.

Now, here is the truth, this pressure or temptation for the particular sin maybe coming every day, it may be apportioned for few months, and no matter how much you pray, the thought or pressure may not stop. What you need to be praying for daily is grace and the Blood of Jesus to purify your heart, and as long you don’t give in, it will soon fade away and you overcome. That is the truth about temptation and addicted sins.
James 1:12, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him"

If you claim the scriptural interpretation is wrong, that which one is right?

If you say the author is wrong, so what is right?

BUT WOE TO PREGNANT AND NURSING WOMEN!
- Do you understand what it means?

Jesus Christ made a statement concerning the end time events, He said, "But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!" Matthew 24:19.

What does this mean? Does it mean that it’s dangerous to be pregnant or to be nursing babies in this end time as Christians? No! Or it is applicable to those unbelievers and sinner who will miss the rapture? No, because when rapture takes place, all the babies in the pregnancy and nursing babies will go with the rapture in the world, because those babies belong to God and they are innocent at that moment. So those who miss the rapture will have no babies left with them to nurse and no babies in pregnancy.

So what Jesus Christ mean is more than physical pregnancy or nursing babies; what the Lord Jesus means is a warning to all Christians, no matter our spiritual levels and positions, to be careful and watchful of this type of evil pregnancy and nursing babies.

THE EVIL PREGNANCY & NURSING BABIES
"But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!" Matthew 24:19. It means Christians who are pregnant with another human being in their heart, harboring people in their minds, holding people in their mind without forgiveness, these people are pregnant with un-forgiveness and malice. And those nursing babies are those nursing bitterness, envy, jealousy or bitterness.

No matter your Christian life and commitment and devotion, if you are pregnant with un-forgiveness, no matter how badly you are offended; if you are still nursing bitterness against a person, group of people, organization or a church or anyone who unlawfully pathed away from your business or ministry, or seriously offended your family or anyone who cheated you in past marital or business, or even ministerial relationships; brethren, we need to forgive and stop wishing them evil.

Let’s release people from the prison and pregnancy of our hearts, we need to search our hearts and lives, and let’s go of any harboring or nursing bitterness so that this will not hinder God’s blessings and promises in our lives and ministries and so that we will not miss heaven after all our efforts in the vineyard of God.

Say this prayer with all your heart:
Lord Jesus, I am so sorry for harboring people in the prison and pregnancy of my heart, I’m so sorry for nor forgiving the persons, for not letting go, I’m so sorry for nursing bitterness and evil wish against people because of disagreement, offense or evil they did to me. Today Lord, I forgive, I release and I let go, I commit judgment into Your hands. Please Lord forgive them. Thank You Lord for Your mercies over me. Amen!

Remain blessed in God’s mercies and love!

DON'T SIT AMONG THEM!!!
"Now when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them." Luke 22:55

After you have rededicated your life to Jesus Christ, you must separate yourself from sinful friendship and relationship, and from the ungodly gathering; sitting among old sinful people and gathering will bring you into temptation and cause you to fall back into sinful acts and talks with them.

That was one of the causes of Peter's fall, he sat among the people who scorned and sinned against Jesus, and he fell into sin. When you sit with ungodly, they are likely to influence you to deny your faith and your stand in Christ. Separate yourself from sinful gathering, worldly groups, party, discussions and work; stay with God and that is enough. It's better to stay with God alone than to sit with ungodly and get stained with sin.

Psalm 1:1-2, "Blessed is the man man who
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night."

REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE
“Remember Lot’s wife.” Luke 17:32.
At this point and period of time, if there is any message to remember, if there is any warning of the Bible to remember, it is the warning of Jesus Christ to remember Lot’s wife. When this world is coming to a predictable end, when the Anti-Christ is set and the agents of 666 mark and Great Tribulation are ready, when God has made the message clearer that the rapture is about to take place any second from now; if there is anything to remember, it is to remember Lot’s wife.

At the point when God was to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, the Angels of God came to rescue Lot, his wife and two kids. After the warning by the angel not to look back to the perishing Sodom, Lot’s wife looked back because of the possession and prosperity of Sodom and she perished with the Sodomites.

My friend, this is not an exaggeration and it’s not to frighten you, this world is about to crumble with all the people therein; the predicted, prophesied end of the world has come but Jesus will first come to pick and rescue His holy children through rapture before it will crumble. With what is happening around, even the blind can see that the end has come, with all the news and revelations around, even the deaf can hear the emphatic warning from heaven that end has come.

Jesus wants us to look away from all the cares of this world because they are about to perish; Jesus wants us to surrender all our sins and excuses now so that they will not hold us back from being raptured. It is either you learn from Lot’s wife and be wise or you are left behind. This timely warning is applicable to all, irrespective of your Christian life or level.

So, what shall we do? Here are the things you urgently need to do now:

R E P E N T
No need to pretend, no need to proof and no need to procrastinate, you need to repent now, and we all need to repent. This is not just the incessant confession of sins; repentance is realizing your sins as sins and ready to forsake them. Your confession will do you no good if you are not ready to forsake them and start a new life, if you are not ready to surrender all. Everyone needs to repent and every sin needs to be repented of. The serious sins and simple sin, common sins and general sins; secret sins and open sins, normal sins, it-doesn’t-matter sins, and besetting sins - all.

No need for further delay, no need for comparism game, and it is foolish for anyone to be fooling himself now by saying, “this is my weakness, every body has a weakness, and no one is perfect” That little weakness has the strong capacity to hold you back from the rapture. Why complaining when you still have the time to repent from all forms of sins and worldliness.

R E D E D I C A T E
Every one has to rededicate his or her life to Jesus afresh now and to start a new life of holiness, no matter your position, possession or popularity. If you are a child of God, you need to still rededicate your life to God to search and sanctify you. Proofing and pretending will cause you great havoc at this time. Humble yourself!

R E S T I T U D E
Many Christians will miss the rapture because of undone or procrastinated restitution. Satan is deceiving many Christians that necessary restitution is not necessary, that God has forgiven you all and no more condemnation. But you can be wise. You need to make right the existing wrongs of the past. Don’t be deceived but do it now. Put your life in order for the rapture is about to take place, so that you will not be found wanton.

R E V I V E!
Repent from all forms of sins, rededicate your life to God, re-consecrate your life to Jesus and be on fire for God and be fervent for Him. Go extra miles. After you surrender all, read your Bible every morning and evening, pray first and mostly about your Christian life and growth, go stronger. Preach the message of repentance and rapture to people; we can’t overdo it because rapture will only happen once. Don’t compare yourself with others, whoever.

Let people call you fool, don’t mind them, they will soon see who fool is after the rapture. People also called Noah fool but when the Flood came they got to know who was actually the fool. They called Lot fool, you also be a fool to this present perishing world and be wise to God in your life, in gentleness, sincerity, purity, openness and simple life. Let your purpose of living, focus of life from now, and your expectation be to meet Jesus pure. If they say your own is getting too much or you are going too far, tell them you just started, because you have got to go far from Sodom before the destruction will take place. Take the things of this world with loose hand and hold strongly to holy and godly living.

Even with all that is happening everywhere in the world, many are being fooled by the devil through the deception of riches and cares of the world. The truth is that they cannot spend the money they are saving now after the rapture except they receive the mark of the Ant-Christ, they cannot use the cars, houses and all the possessions Satan is using to delay their salvation and distract them from serving God wholeheartedly. What a foolish generation! But you will be wise now, won’t you?

2 Peter 3:10-11
" But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness"

The Priority!
I read online about Buffet Warren, an American great investor, what he seeks for in people that would work for him; his three principles of what make the best manager are: 1, Intelligence. 2, Energy. 3, Integrity. Intelligence is the knowledge you acquire in schooling, studying and personal research. Energy is your ability to put to work your acquired knowledge, and to be hard working. And integrity is your faithfulness and sincerity at work. Warren usually tells visiting university students that ,” You have the first two qualities of intelligence and energy, that is why you are here, but integrity is something you don’t learn in school, it is your personal decision.” He would further say, “If someone lacks integrity, then his intelligence and energy are useless; being intelligent and hardworking without integrity is of no use”

The same thing is applicable in this life generally about the blessings of life. If you have earthly blessings of financial and material blessings and you also have physical blessings of good health, healing and child bearing, but if you lack genuine salvation and personal relationship with God, then all the earthly blessings and physical blessings are useless. What is the purpose of life to have all blessings without genuine salvation? What shall it profit a man if he gains earthly blessings and physical blessings and loses his dear soul to eternal agony in hell fire? What shall it profit you if you get abundant riches, unlimited breakthrough, if you build many houses and have fleet of cars, if you have great positions and possessions with strong popularity, if you have many children and live a very long life but end up with the devil and demons in hell fire?

What is your priority in the blessings of life? What do you seek first in your purpose of life? At the point of death, at the end of your life here on earth, and also at the next minutes after the rapture, all earthly and physical blessings will become useless to your soul, nothing else will make sense except the salvation of your souls. So, have you surrendered your life to Jesus for the experience of genuine salvation? Is your soul rich in the Lord or only in the earthly things? Are you seeking and pursuing heavenly blessings as your priority in this short time life? Are you blessed spiritually or wretched?

You can be rich financially and physically but spiritually poor. The Bible talks about some group of people who feel so rich but actually poor in the spirit. “Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.” Revelation 3:17.

If your priority, purpose and pursuit at this time is about earthly things of housing project, vehicles buying, and earthly success, then you are in danger of imminent Anti-Christ. If most of the tittles of your church programs or yearly stickers/watch words center on earthly, material or financial stuffs, like prosperity, breakthrough unlimited, open heaven of miracles, favour abundant, success unlimited, fast track of blessings, miracles, signs and wonders, and such; then you are in the church of Balaam, you may soon be shocked after the rapture!

First the first!
Have you been saved since you have been enjoying the goodness and mercies of God in your life? Have you been serving God faithfully with ALL your strength since God has been faithful to you? At this end time, have you set your priority on heavenly things in preparation for the rapture? God is calling you to be wise and seek first the most important for your dear soul as the priority of your life and your purpose of living.

COLOSSIANS 3:1-4
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”

L E F T - B E H I N D
Luke 17:35, "Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.”

If you miss your booked flight at the Airport, you can wait for another flight, but there is a flight you must not miss, because it will happen once, that is the flight of the rapture to heaven, it is called the catching away of the saints by Jesus.This rapture will happen within seconds when the angels of God will blow the trumpet…in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound. 1 Corinthians 15:52.

There will be sudden disappearance of Christians who have experienced genuine salvation, who have opened up their secret sins, settled needed restitution and living in holiness and righteousness from the blemishes of the world till the seconds of the rapture. Many people will be left behind throughout the world, many Christians will be left behind also, why? Because they are not well prepared. The left behind at the flight of the rapture will be left to blight of the Anti-Christ and eternal doom; that will be devastating and destructive occurrence which never happens since the beginning of the world. This unprecedented occurrence can happen any seconds from now without any warning or feeling of awareness.

If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord, you are at the danger of being left behind to the mercy of Satan, If you are postponing your salvation, you are in serious danger; you need to surrender your life to Jesus now.

If you are a Christian and toiling with sins, rising and falling, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus totally now! If you have been saved, serving God but there are some little worldliness in your lifestyles or unconfesed sin, or inconsistency in your Bible reading, prayer life, Christian life, or unforgiving people you have ignored, or unsettled restitution, you may also be among the left behind group, you need to surrender and settle all now. It may happen right when you are angry or getting involved in something sinful, and that is the end.

You need to totally surrender all, every area of your life to Jesus and at all time, because the rapture will happen within seconds and there will not be second chance for another rapture.

Many Senior pastors and big ministers of God will be left behind, many church leaders, workers and many Christians will be left behind, and all unbelievers will be dazed, at last, it will happen!

If at the moment you are reading this message rapture has not happened, then you have the choice to make the rapture. Without delay, you need to surrender all to Jesus, if you are a believer, you need to check your life and surrender all, no sin is too small to hold you down not to make the rapture, even if your big pastors do not oppose it, even if you have reasons to support yourself, even if everybody is doing it. Don't be fooled, don't be arrogant or defensive at this time, just surrender all to Jesus, because He is coming any moment from now. You must leave behind your sins, sinful partners, materials and gains so that you will not be left behind.

You have a choice: leave all behind for Jesus now, let the people and world leave you behind or you are left behind at the rapture?

Matthew 25:13, ““Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”

IF YOU SAY POVERTY IS A CURSE, GOD WILL NEVER PROSPER YOU!

If you are so afraid of poverty, you will never get prosperity from God from, you know why?

2, You will not want to be poor for the sake of heaven or Christ. If God ask you to go and sell all you have in the city and move permanently to village as missionary and enroll your children in village school, you will walk away from Jesus like that young rich man in the Bible. You will never want to be poor for the sake of gospel. Some of the white missionaries who brought gospel to Africa were rich, they abandoned their riches and became poor for Heaven's sake. Now, with all your clamoring and chanting, "I hate poverty", "Poverty is a curse" Will you be willing to become poor for Christ's sake?

3, If you say poverty is a curse so the apostles were cursed in your mind? To get it clear, salvation in Christ is not a means of getting prosperity but eternal life. Many who were rich and wealthy have become poor for the sake of Christ and you and your satanic pastor are still shouting poverty is a curse there? You better wake up to the truth before you wake up in hell.

SECRET OF TOUCHING GOD’S HEART FOR YOUR DESIRED BLESSINGS!
- With Practical Examples.

Every child of God needs blessings in one or two aspects of his or her life. It may be financial blessing, marital blessing, child bearing blessing, healing blessing, academic blessing, and so many others. And we know several means of receiving the blessing of God; we pray to God, “God, please bless meeeeeeeeeeeeee” We praise God because it opens doors of God’s blessings. We include fasting with prayer, we give and so on. But there are some secrets of receiving abundant blessings of God which many children of God do not know, they become hidden from many and that is what I want to share with you by the help of God.

But you must know that these secrets are for children of God who have experienced the transformation and salvation of Jesus Christ, these are the people these secrets work for.

So let’s start with the first one:
POSITIONING YOURSELF FOR GOD’S BLESSING BY EVANGELISM
While prayer, fasting, praises, giving, and sharing attract God’s blessing, do you know that doing evangelism by winning souls for God may attract God’s blessings into your life much more? Evangelism is the heartbeat of God, if there is anything you can do that will touch God’s heart is winning soul into His Kingdom.

We have heard that praises and thanksgiving is God’s food, but doing evangelism and winning soul is God’s favorite food then. “Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.” John 4:34.

What Does Evangelism Means?
Doing Evangelism is not just to be a worker in the church or to be a choir or usher or a minister in the church. Does is evangelism is personal, it’s preaching and reaching out to sinners through the gospel of Jesus Christ by different means – one on one evangelism, Facebook Evangelism, email evangelism, SMS evangelism, sharing tracts evangelism, morning cry evangelism, preaching inside public transport evangelism, workplace/business place evangelism, etc.

Evangelism is the only means by which the Kingdom of God is expanded, not by being busy with church/ ministry activities. You Can be so busy in your church and with ministerial activities and still have a zero evangelism life.

Apart from the great reward waiting in heaven, evangelism brings God’s blessings into our lives. There are some blessings prayer and fasting will not do, that praises and thanksgiving will not do that only evangelism will do. I have seen and heard of God blessing people amazingly because of their evangelism, I have been seeing God’s blessing in my life beyond my expectation as a result of evangelism.

I heard of a brother some years back, when there was no Whatsapp and much Facebook and mobile internet in Nigeria, he had no job but decided to be sending Bible verses SMS to the contacts on his phone as much as he could, and God gave him job with MTN, rewarded him for using his MTN line for evangelism.

I was single and searching for the right lady for several years until one day the Lord ministered to me to stop searching and start preaching. So I started evangelical work online and within one year, the Lord settled me and I got married rightly.

ARE YOU?
Are you trusting God and waiting for admission into school? Occupy yourself with personal evangelism and the Lord will give you the right admission miraculously.

Are you trusting God for a job or wanting to start your own business? Occupy yourself with personal evangelism and you will be surprised what the Lord will do.

Are you waiting for the right marital partner? What are you waiting for? Get yourself busy with personal evangelism and God will be busy on your behalf. I have never seen a single Christian who devote himself or herself for personal evangelism and is not well settled martially.

Are you trusting God for childbearing in your marriage? Then begin to bear spiritual children by personal evangelism and physical children will be added. God is a faithful God of addition, He promised if we seek His kingdom first (bringing people into His kingdom by personal evangelism) all others will be added to it. So what are you waiting for?

TREMENDOUSLY!
I have been seeing God’s hands tremendously in my business because we surrendered our business to be used as a medium of evangelism. Hey, it’s working tremendously! If you are using your business as means of evangelism to people you come across in your business, even by simply putting tracts on your desk, if you are doing evangelism through your job in your workplace to your fellow workers and clients/customers without being ashamed or intimidated, you will see God’s blessing and promotions and increase tremendously. While others are going down, you will be going up because He will give you more privilege to witness for Him.

You know what happened to Paul? Apostle Paul faithfully witnessed about Jesus Christ in Jerusalem and God was so pleased that He gave him better opportunity to go to Rome for more witnesses, an international opportunity. “But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.” Acts 23:11.

You know why you have not gone beyond your Jerusalem in your business, career, workplace or even ministry? It may be because you are not rightly witnessing about Jesus Christ for soul-winning. You desire increase in your business, promotion in your workplace, expansion in your ministry? Then start focusing on soul-winning, personal evangelism and you will be surprised what the LORD will do. It works tremendously!

When we are busy doing the work of evangelism, God will be busy doing what no man can do in our marital lives, in our businesses, in our families, in our health, in our academics, in our workplace, etc.

Prayer can move the hands of God, praise and thanksgiving moves God and personal evangelism makes God personally do what no man can do in our lives. Praying moves God’s hands but doing evangelism touches God’s heart!

Say God:
“I have been worried about my marital life, waiting for Your will in marriage, but from now on I will not wait in worries, but I will wake up in personal evangelism and I hand over my marital life to You”

“Lord, I have been waiting in worry for admission into school, for child bearing, for provision, for this or that, but from now on, I hand over all my worries to You and I will focus on preaching Your word and winning souls into Your Kingdom.”

“I have been busy with my education, career, job, business that I have no enough time for personal evangelism; Lord I repent, please forgive me. From now I will evangelize Your Gospel by every means and in everything I do.”

Amen!

What are you waiting for? Do it!

WAITING ON THE LORD!

1 Samuel 13:8-10 “Then he waited seven days, according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. 9 So Saul said, “Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me.” And he offered the burnt offering. 10 Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.”

If you are a child of God, you must wait on the Lord and continue to wait on Him until the end. When things are not working as supposed, you must wait on the Lord; when time seems wasting out of the appointed time, you must wait on the Lord. When people are walking away from you, you must wait on the Lord. When you are wandering what could have gone wrong, you must wait on the Lord. When you ask “why” and no response from God, you must wait on the Lord.

Waiting on the Lord is not a waste of time as many people may see it, it’s not because you are weak or ignorant or lazy as people may say it, but it’s because you are wise in the Lord. While others are being smart with worldly wisdom and doing short cut, you need the wisdom of the Lord by waiting on Him.

Waiting on the Lord is the wisdom for successful and victorious living.

The only alternative for waiting on the Lord is to wander away and waste God’s grace and glorious destiny just as king Saul did; but you will not want to be stupid to opt for such alternative, you will not want to become another king Saul of this generation.

King Saul was favoured by God, he was appointed by God, he was anointed by God, but he wasted everything because he could not wait on the Lord till the end.

1 Samuel 13:11-14: And Samuel said, “What have you done?”
Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, 12 then I said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD.’ Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.”

13 And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you. For now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.”

What are you waiting on the Lord for in your life? And it seems the whole world is walking away from you or it looks the time is wasting away on you? You might have been waiting on the Lord for long and now it seems you are weak or wary of wait any longer, but you still have to wait so that your waiting all these while will not be a waste, so that Satan will not waste your destiny. If God will not do it, who will do it? Satan will give you his offer to wander away from waiting on the Lord, but can you bear the consequences and the lost at the end?

Waiting on the Lord is not easy, but it is peaceful, secure and successful at the end. When you trust God for everything, even when it seems late with you, He will turn it to the latest for you, because He controls time and seasons.

Wait in the will of the Lord, continue to wait in the way of God in righteousness without compromise even if everyone is walking away from you, even though the world is seeing you as foolish – the Lord is your wisdom, even though you are weak or wary – the Lord will renew your strength and surprise you with the best. Wait on the Lord in prayer and praises!

“He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.”

- Isaiah 40:29-31

SUNDAY SERMON:
YOU MUST BALANCE THE THREE TOGETHER!
(Being Spiritual does not mean you must not be successful in business, and being successful in Business should not hinder you from being Spiritually fervent!)

There are 3 aspects of our lives that a single Bible verse admonishes every child of God to be doing very well in, not just well. So, in any case, one should not be an excuse for the other. Let’s look at the word of God:

“Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord” Romans 12:11. KJV.

“NOT SLOTHFUL IN BUSINESS”
Business here can be your academics as a student, it can be your job as an employee, it can be your career or your business. Being a genuine of God who believe in life of holiness and righteousness is not a reason to be slothful in business or to be a failure. The word of God admonishes us not to be slothful in whatsoever business we are doing. Since a child of God cannot do a sinful or illegal business, then we must be successful in it.

God does not want us to be the tail in business but the head, and we don’t just claim it by prayer alone, we must be hardworking and diligent to break grounds, break through the limitations, to be innovative, to make new research and developments, to be exceptional, committed and devoted with God’s help.

I remember when I was in Deeper Life Youth Fellowship, we said “We are victorious youth of this generation!” So also is every child of God. A victorious child of God is not a lazy, slothful or failure student; a victorious brother or sister does not seat down jobless waiting for employment after graduation, if no organization employs you, you go ahead and employ yourself, you are a victorious graduate, right?

Being a child of God is not an excuse for failure in academics, career or business; even if you a fashion designer that does not involve in worldly fashion, you can still be successful by diligence, research and hardworking with God’s help. God wants His children to excel and be outstanding, to breakthrough with new research, innovations and development in our various endeavors. Amen!

“FERVENT IN SPIRIT”
To be fervent in spirit here means to be on fire for God, lively in your prayer life, in your Bible reading and study life, in your relationship with God without allowing any compromise. Being successful in academic or because you want to excel above others in your career or in your business does not means you should not have time for your spiritual life or you should join sinful and ungodly groups.

We must not allow any earthly pursuit to affect our spiritual life that we will not be fervent in on spiritual life. Our spiritual life should be our priority in life, not our business and not even the services of God. We must balance everything appropriately.

“SERVING THE LORD”
We have talked about not being slothful in business, about being fervent in spirit, and now is serving the Lord. There is a difference between being fervent in the spirit and serving the Lord. To be fervent in spirit is about your personal relationship with God, your personal Christian living, your personal prayer life, your personal Bible reading, your personal growing in the Lord. But serving the Lord means to involve yourself in the service of God in ministerial work, in preaching the word of God, in intercessory prayer, in evangelism and edification.

Our aim of being successful must not affect our service or ministry negatively, and our service and busy activities in the service of God must not hinder or hamper our personal spiritual life. They are three different things.

Balancing The Three
As children of God, we must not be slothful in business but successful, we must be fervent in spirit and we must serve the Lord in every capacity He gives us in the ministry, in the church and in our personal evangelism.

May the Lord help us to be counted worthy and be faithful and fruitful servants on the last day.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER RAPTURE: THE GREAT TRIBULATION

Do you realize we are in the very end time and this world will soon come to an end? As the Biblical prophesies of the end time are fulfilling right in our eyes and the love of many are becoming cold by the cares and deceptions of the world; the next event we are waiting for is the Rapture, which is the catching away of the saints. As Jesus Christ said, “I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” Luke 17:34, 35. This event may happen any moment from now.

The big questions are: What happens after the Rapture? What will happen to the unbelievers and careless Christians who miss the Rapture? The Great Tribulation! While the raptured saints will be celebrating the Marriage of the Lord’s Supper with Jesus Christ, and receiving rewards over there, the Left-behinds will be suffering Great Tribulation here on earth with Satan. It will be a terrific period of pain and panic that has never existed before. “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. “Matthew 24:20-22

The Great Tribulation will start by the reign of Anti-Christ, a satanic powered personality who will rule the whole world with his evil mark of the beast, 666. “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16, 17. Those who refuse the mark will be tormented to death, it will be a horrible period which will be hard to resist, but those who make their stands for Jesus and refuse the mark will make it to heaven after their death. Rev. 7:9, 14. The people that receive the mark will automatically become the enemies of God, they will be given temporal freedom to buy and sell but they are doomed forever.

The better questions to ask are: when will you surrender your life to Jesus? When will you totally rededicate your life to Jesus and settle EVERYTHING with Him? When will you make your way right with God and stand for righteousness in the midst of this unrighteous generation? The answer should be NOW, or never! If you have not genuinely accepted Jesus into your life by becoming a new creature and living above sin, if you are a worldly, careless or modern Christian, if you are afraid or not certain about your eternity, this moment is a greatest time for you to settle everything with Jesus NOW! You are the luckiest person if you are reading this message before the rapture; it means you are still alive; the deaths have no such opportunity, because after death is the judgment. You can’t wait for the Great tribulation, you may die before then, you may not survive it, now is the best and certain time to settle your eternity with God.

You are a Christian? But are you living in line with God's word or in line with the words of modern pastors? Have you settled all and made everything clear before God or there are still some no-go-areas in your life? Any unconfessed sin or unsettled restitution? Any worldliness or compromise? Those Christians who leave some aspects of their live behind unsettled with God will be left behind on the rapture day.

Your greatest privilege of being alive today is not to make more money but to make your way right with God for genuine salvation of your soul. So what are you waiting for? Repent, rededicate your life to Jesus, restore, recommit, and renew your relationship with the Savior, and be sure of your life after here before it is too late!

Blow the trumpet in Zion,
And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;
For the day of the LORD is coming,
For it is at hand:
2 A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
A people come, great and strong,
The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations………
“Now, therefore,” says the LORD,
“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the LORD your God,
For He is gracious and merciful. . .
Joel 2:1-2, 12, 13.

A CITIZEN IN HELL
Flaming worms crawl in,
flaming worms crawl out in the belly button
and out the mouth! In the front and out the rear!
In the eyes and out the ears!
We scream for mercy yet NO one cares or hears!
Red hot pain in my blood rivers of feces, lava,
vomit and blood it looks like a flood!
Flames everywhere yet they cast NO light!
All I have is every kind of pain, terror, torture and fright!
I am a Citizen in HELL!

This is the first level of HELL
the other levels there are NO words to tell!
Hell is so hot it boils the flesh off my skin
how do I describe the HELLISH pain I'm in!
I'm so thirsty yet I 've not even urine or tears to drink!
And OH my GOD how this HELL stinks! AHHHH,
I am a Citizen in HELL!

There's NO water of any kind not even sweat
to cool my brow, I know from Hell
I will never be set free and demons curse and mock me!
I scream to God to help me!
Yet He does NOT hear!
Instead the voice of Satan laughs and jeers!
"HaAa! There's NO GOD and there's NO mercy here!
I have torture, terror, and Damnation and every kind of FEAR! But there's NO GOD HERE! Hahaha!"

I am reminded how God in his mercy gave JESUS,
His Only Son to suffer crucifixion for my sins
and on a cross he hung!
Just so from HELL I would be free and
Satan would have no claim on me!
But I refused JESUS blood to cover my sins.
I wanted to live my own life so I denied Him!
I know I have no one to blame
now forever I 'll live in Satan's evil domain
with every kind of torture and shame!
Wanting to die but forgetting there is no death,
thinking it will be better tomorrow but forgetting I have FOREVER left!
This is what its like to be a CITIZEN IN HELL!!!

Where the Horror is so gruesome!
NO tongue can tell!
Everyone who is coming here will have to dig
to their own level before they die!
And that is how deep your sins are piled up high!
But beware the greatest of all sins is the
REJECTION OF JESUS CHRIST!
One torture room to the next what seems like your worst nightmare is ONLY satan at his BEST!
This is what its like to be a CITIZEN IN HELL!!!!!

50 WAYS TO INSPIRE YOUR HUSBAND

A wife has the unique ability to help her husband feel the freedom to reach his fullest potential as the man God has created him to be.

By Janel Breitenstein

There’s an old joke about one of our presidents walking with his wife, who sees one of her old boyfriends in a less-than-glorious occupation. The president looks at the old boyfriend and remarks, “If you hadn’t married me, you might be married to that guy.” The first lady answers calmly, “If I had married him, he’d be president.”Now, occupation is not the measure of a man. But as a wife, you do possess a unique power to inspire your husband. Your loving vision of the man he’s becoming propels him toward greatness—not necessarily by the world’s yardstick of success, or even your own, but of God’s. When you believe in him, he is secure.

He can take the leaps of faith required to surmount fear. He can bear up under pressure, pioneer new territory. An inspired husband feels the freedom to reach the fullest potential of the man God has created him to be. He’s not merely encouraged. He’s a man who’s empowered; a conqueror. If you want to give your man some “wind beneath his wings”… start here.

1. Send him an e-mail. Example: “Praying for you today. Thanks for being so courageous in ___.”

2. Give him one night on a regular basis to do something he loves.

3. Consistently mention ways you see him growing to be more like Christ.

4. Initiate great sex.

5. Ask him about his “bucket list”—the top list of things he’d like to do in his lifetime.

6. Give him a book or audio CD to learn about something he loves doing.

7. Ask him about some dreams he has—and pray about them together, evaluating them. Then ask how you can help him go after them.

8. Text him on a stressful day. Example: “REMINDER: I BELIEVE IN U.”

9. Make sure he feels respected by you.

10. Leave sticky notes in his lunch, on his steering wheel, in his briefcase, etc. “So proud of all you’ve been doing with ___”. “You are so great with our kids.” “You are my dream come true.” “You are an incredible lover.”

11. Suggest that he take some time to go pursue a hobby.

12. Leave a message on his voicemail: “Thanks for going to work every day to take care of our family. You are so good at what you do.”

13. Ask him how you can pray for him at work. Later on in the week, get an update from him on what you’ve prayed for.

14. Be proactive about doing something together that he really enjoys. Make a date, get him excited, and share his enthusiasm!

15. Tell him areas he’s gifted in. Don’t stretch the truth: Be honest so he can trust you.

16. Pray for him.

17. Initiate great sex.

18. Start and keep a “Dreams” binder with him. Include some travel brochures or whatever gets you both energized. In the back, make sure you have a “Dreams turned reality!” file.

19. Talk with your husband about setting aside a small part of the budget to pursue the unique ways God has designed him (including his gifts, abilities, and passions)—through education or through sheer enjoyment.

20. Post on his Facebook wall: “I love being your wife! See me tonight regarding this.”

21. Gently communicate with him about what you like in bed, and respond encouragingly to his attempts.

22. Remember a dream that he had a long time ago. Talk with him about whether it’s still a dream—and still a possibility.

23. Ask God to open your eyes to the ways He has made your husband unique, and to give you wisdom about how to maximize that workmanship.

24. Have your children write him notes or letters about what they love about him as a dad.

25. Initiate great sex.

26. Ban yourself from nagging, which is the Great Life-Sucker.

27. Ask, “If I could do one thing that would really empower you and inspire you, what would it be?” Then listen, resist being defensive (the hard part), and follow through.

28. Remind him of specific times when he’s made an impact on other people’s lives. “Hey, I was thinking the other day about all the time you invested in that Cub Scout troop. Wonder what those boys are doing now. It was so cool to watch them grow with you as their leader.” “Our son has grown so much in encouraging people lately. He gets that from you; you are such a good example for him in that.”

29. Buy him something small to stoke the fires: A journal for a writer, some carpentry pencils for a woodworker, some grilling tools for the master chef. Add a sweet note: “Just because I love the way you’re made.”

30. Do something fun and unexpected together. A few ideas to try: paintball; laser tag; on a spring day, have a picnic, blow bubbles, and bring the books you’re reading; swing; play a pickup game of a sport together; go to a drive-in movie, bring popcorn, and instigate a make-out session.

31. Think about a way you’ve been hurting him, annoying him. Or there may be ways you’re not “seeing” him—not stepping into his world to understand what it’s like to be him, with all of the things he cares about. Apologize, and work hard at showing true change.

32. Initiate great sex.

33. Go to a home improvement store to plan a small, doable project that energizes both of you, even if it’s just painting a room or fixing up some landscaping. (Hint: Be positive that it’s something by which he won’t feel burdened.)

34. With quality, complete something from his to-do list for him—something that he’d rather have you do anyway.

35. Find a mutually enjoyable activity you like doing together on a regular basis, even if it’s as simple as playing the Wii together after the kids are in bed.

36. Create a cheerful atmosphere when he comes home. 37. Design a date night that will help him to de-stress and have fun.

38. Discover his “love language,” and become fluent in it.

39. Pray about and pursue at least one dream of your own, talking with him about it. An inspired wife breeds inspiration.

40. What’s difficult about his life right now? Pray for his endurance, and encourage him specifically. Galatians 6:9 is a great start for both. Think, What can I do to ease the load he’s carrying?

41. Organize or clean something in your home that you know he finds messy.

42. Send a snail-mail love note to him at the office, affirming him in his work.

43. Think of something on his honey-do list at home that he finds overwhelming or for which he doesn’t have much time. Talk with him (respectfully and gently) about the possibility of hiring someone to do it. Communicate clearly that it’s not because you find him incompetent, but that you want to free him up from a burden.

44. Initiate great sex.

45. Be a student of your husband. Does he feel inspired if he has all his ducks in a row? If he has a creative space to think? If he feels verbally affirmed?

46. If your man is into dressing nice, go with him to shop for clothes in which he feels confident.

47. Let him overhear you speaking well of him on the phone, among friends, or in public places. And to your mother.

48. In his area of weakness, pray about how to subtly, gently step in and help him. 49. Tell him what a great dad he is. Be specific.

50. If and when he messes up, respond with the kind of grace, compassion, and mercy that God gives you. Respond in a way that communicates, You’re safe with me—and I’m not going to rehash your failures. This is a secure place for you to grow … and I love the journey with you.

UNDONE RESTITUTION Acts 24:16
After you are genuinely saved, there may be some wrongs of the past that need to be corrected in your present new life in Jesus. Restitution includes restoring things wrongly acquired, revealing lies and deceptions and reconciling with people we offended, and also forgiving with all our hearts people who offended us, no matter how terrible. Forgiveness from the heart is part of restitution and many Christians, ministers of God will miss rapture and heaven just because of un-forgiveness and bitterness. Matthew 6:14, 15.

WHAT A FOOL
The money you are running after which is making you not to have time for your salvation, which is making you to compromise your faith, after the Rapture, you will not be able collect the money in the bank if you don’t collect the mark of the beast, if you keep the money in your house, you will not be able to spend it. The job that made you falsified your age, information or compromise your faith, after the rapture, you will not be able to do the job without collecting the mark of the beast.

While you are running inside the bush, you will not be able to drive that beautiful car or sleep in the beautiful house. The position you what to kill yourself for now, you will not be able to retain it except you bow and worship Satan. The makeup, ungodly dresses, and all others which you can’t do without now, you will not even remember them after you miss the rapture. Your popular prosperity preachers, these earthly focused prayer ministers, your Bishop, Daddy GO, Senior Pastor, motivational speakers who refuse to teach you genuine salvation, restitution and impeding rapture will be hiding their faces in shame. All their messages of breakthrough, divine establishment, divine success, open heaven of blessing, waves of glory, abundant blessings, prophetic utterances, anointing for higher level, 5 Sunday of anointing, 100 days of fasting and prayer – all these will be useless to you after the rapture.

And if you receive the mark of the beast, you will only have three and half years before eternal torments will begin and the great judgment Day that will usher you into eternal perdition where you will spend eternity with devil and his demon forever and ever and ever. What a fool the devil is making out of you now!

EMPTY PRAYER WITHOUT OBEDIENCE
Obedience to God is more important than prayer to God. When you ignore to obey God’s word, and you keep praying, it means you are doing vain repetitions. Maybe you suppose to repent and confess your sin, but you ignore that and keep praying for God’s mercy, such prayer is vain repetition. Some people commit sins, and instead of them to open up, confess to God and the necessary people, they keep praying for forgiveness and mercy – they are doing VAIN repetition. We can only receive mercy when we confess and forsake our sins. Proverbs 28:13, "He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy."

When the Spirit of God is leading you to open up your covered sin or to do restitution, but you refuse to obey, and you keep praying for mercy, mercy; you are only doing vain repetition.

Obedience is better than sacrifice!
Maybe you are living in sin, living with sinful partner, doing a sinful business, working at an ungodly place, using fake document, age or you are benefiting from your past sin; then the Word of God is warning you to forsake the sins and forfeit the sinful benefits and surrender all to God, but instead of you to simply obey, you remain in the sinful thing and you keep fasting and praying for God’s mercy or you are spending money for God's work or for your big pastors, all such is a wasted efforts, a sacrifice without obedience, such prayer is a waste of time and a vain repetition.

Some even go to the extent of giving huge amount of money and time for God’s work, thinking God will consider that and overlook their disobedience; they are ignorant that God cannot be bribed by fasting, long prayer or sacrifices.

Obedience to God’s word is more important than prayer and fasting, than sowing or giving for God’s work. Your pastors or your church can accept your gifts and pray for you, but you are not at peace with your Creator until you simply obey. Matthew 5:23, 24, “Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.”

“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of [d]witchcraft,
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
1 Samuel 15:22,23.

R E L I E F !
Exodus 8:15, “But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not heed them, as the LORD had said.”

You found yourself in trouble beyond your ability, or beyond what you could bear, then you cried to God for help and promised to serve Him with all your heart and life, in holiness for the rest of your life, if only He could rescue you. You got into serious needs and embarrassment above your human power or solution, then you cried unto God, that if He could do this for you and remove the shame, that you would surrender all your life to Him and serve Him, and do His work, preach His word everyday and night. Then God listened to your prayer and did as you requested. But after you are relieved from the problem, pain or punishment, you forgot your promise to God? Such relief which made you to forget your promises to serve God and walk is a short relief and it will shortly bring greater destruction.

When God punished Pharaoh for his own sin of arrogance, the punishment was too painful that he cried to God and promised to obey God if He could stop the punishment. “Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Entreat the LORD that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only.” 10 So he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.” Exodus 8:8-10.

But immediately Pharaoh was relieved of the problem and pain, he hardened his heart and continued in his old way. “But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not heed them, as the LORD had said.” Exodus 8:15. To his detriment, greater calamities overtook him.

God gives relief from problem or pain so that we can quickly repent and turn to Jesus Christ. This relief is like a golden chance, a time of grace. It is also like a second chance for those who have turned away from God and got caught in the web of Satan. The reality of this relief is that it’s a temporal period of grace, relief doesn’t last forever; it is when you make good use of it that real lasting time of refreshment comes from God, but when it is misused, as Pharaoh did, worst calamities ensue.

Relief can come in form of healing from sickness; God heals you so that you can have a better chance and health to serve Him then, so you can surrender your life to Him and serve Him with health and body in holiness and righteousness. But if after you have been healed, you continue in your sin, then worst thing will shortly overtake you. If you have ever received healing from Jesus Christ, it is not because of your righteousness or power, it is not because of what you did for God; it is because of a purpose – God heals you so that you can surrender your life to Him in genuine salvation and serve Him with that health. You may be a sinner and receive healing from Jesus, yes He does that, He heals you so that you can serve Him.

A sick man who did not even recognize Jesus was met by Jesus in the temple, Jesus Christ healed him, and, “Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” John 5:14.

Relief from God can come in form of financial blessings, provision of job, clean financial opportunity, material things, so that you can use them to serve God more better than before, so that you can use them for God’s work of evangelism and to help people. But if after you get the blessing, you begin to use it for your personal and selfish purpose, or the blessing has even distracted you from serving God, the business or job has made you not to have time for your daily devotion or time for God’s work, then destruction is at hand. Such a person will soon experience poverty in all ramification with terrific destruction.

Relief can also come in form of human blessings. You said, “God, if you can give me a godly wife” You said, “God, if you can give me a godly husband” Or you said, “God if you can give me children” Then you said, “I promise to consecrate my life to You more than before, and forever. I will preach Your word everyday. I will throw myself into Your service, I will serve You with that wife, husband or children” Then God was entreated by your prayer and did as you prayed. But what about your vow of consecration now?

You found yourself in a serious trouble, legal case, storm of life or terrible crisis more than you can handle; you called upon the Lord and promised that if He would rescue you this time, you will surrender your life totally unto Him, you will walk in His way of holiness and righteousness, that you will serve Him with everything you have and with all your life. And God listened to your supplication, He did as you said. Now after you are relieved and rescued, and the siege is over, you have forgotten your vow and promise to God. Are you not fooling yourself and forcing God’s judgment upon your own head by your own hands?

Vow or promise to God can be a simple or small matter, in fact everyone of us has made one or two promises to God at different particular time; it can be you are in a journey, traveling on road or in the air, and things got worst, then you quickly promised God that if He would see you through the journey, you will serve Him. It may be you were looking for admission, and you promised God that you would serve Him if He got you the admission, that you will be crazy for Him, in serving and preaching His word. And now, here you are, you have forgotten because you are relieved?

How come you are deceiving yourself by giving financial offering to your church or to a minister of God, but you refused to give yourself to God in re-dedication and holiness? How dare are you cheating on God? You made an agreement with God to surrender all to Him and serve Him if He would do that thing for you, and after you got what you asked from God, you turned your back. Is it a simple matter to you to cheat and mock God? If you dare not cheat your President or General of Army, how come you think you can cheat God and go score-free? Is God a man?

Vow or promise to God is far more than giving or donating huge amount of money to a church or a man of God; it’s more than buying something for a church or a man of God, and it is beyond building houses for a church or a minister of God. The major and most important vow or promise God is expecting you to pay to Him, the reason why God brought relief for you and rescued you from that problem is for you to surrender your life to Him and to serve Him with your time and strength by living for Him in holiness and righteousness, by preaching His word to all men. The payment of financial vow is the least and last. The first thing God needs from you is your life, the paramount thing He wants from you is your salvation and sanctification. That was the reason He healed you and kept you to this day; that was the reason He rescued you and blessed you.

Your pastors and church may be so particular about you making financial vow, they may be majorly concerned about you paying your financial vow, but all your vow of offerings, payment of monetary vow, buying or buildings for God's works are just useless if you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ in genuine salvation and holiness of life. God is not asking you to pay vow of money if you have not forsaken your sin; God does not need your offerings of vow if you are still living in your sin. God does not need your sacrifice of praises and thanksgiving if you still continue in your old lifestyle, what is the use to God?

Isaiah 1:11, 13, 16, 17.
“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?”
Says the LORD.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.
Bring no more futile sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil,
Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow."

The reasonable service God demands from you is your life. Romans 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service."

For you to be alive to this day is by God’s mercy, relieving you from all attacks so that you can surrender your life to Him and serve Him. If you fail to make use of your time of relief to repent from all sins, to rededicate your life to Him; if you fail to discontinue in ungodly habit, if you fail to consecrate your life to Him in serving Him and preaching His word, then the next event will be eternal regret.

Isaiah 55: 6, 7
“Seek the LORD while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the LORD,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.”

SHOULD CHRISTIANS CELEBRATE VALENTINE?
Valentine was said to be a priest near Rome in about the year 270 A.D, a time when the church was enduring great persecution. His ministry was to help the Christians to escape this persecution, and to provide them the sacraments, such as marriage, which was outlawed by the Roman Empire at that time. He was martyred about AD 269.

So, should children of God celebrate Valentine? And the answer is, for at least two reasons, it is wrong for Bible Christians or Bible church to celebrate Valentine. Here are the two reasons:

(1) It's Wrong To Separate A Day to Celebrate a Saint. There is no reason to argue if the man, Valentine, was a genuine child of God or minister of God, but it is wrong to create a day to specially celebrate a saint or a martyr. There were several martyrs in the Bible and in our contemporary world, so it is of no use creating a day to celebrate them, include martyr Valentine; they are being celebrated in heaven already. For no reason should Bible Christians create a special day to celebrate a martyr. Only Jesus Christ should be celebrated in a special manner. Also, there are many "so called" saints who are really demons, and some of these names called with saints were demonic.

(2) It Doesn't Glory God, So it's Ungodly. Everything about Valentine day is outside Christian activity, unlike Christmas which involves Christian activities and draws us to God, Valentine day has nothing to do with the history of Christianity in the Bible. Valentine day is a general celebration outside Christianity. If Valentine is about sacrifice of love, you don't need to wait till February 14th before you do that. If it is showing or expressing love to loved ones, you don't need a day for that, if it is giving, no need to wait till February 14th before you do that. You don't need to wait till February 14th before you take your spouse out. In reality, Valentine is a celebration of lust, inspired by satanic spirit. There is no side of Valentine celebration that is attached to the Bible, there is no biblical backup for the celebration of Valentine.

If you are a child of God, love is part of you because God is love; if you are a genuine child of God, love is pure and not lust; you should celebrate with your spouse, in a special way at least every weekend. When the world is celebrating lust, you can spend your time to do something better; when the people of the world are waiting for February 14th before they can experience or express special love with their partners or people, you should do that every time, as much as possible.

Romans 12:1-2, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

PLEASE CAN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?
When you fall into any sin, believing that God will forgive you after you ask for forgiveness, yes God will forgive you if you truly repent, and even if God restore you spiritually, but what about all those physical blessings you will lose, which Satan may permanently steal from you? Many Christians have missed abundant blessings of God for their lives, marriage, business, career and even ministry because of frivolous falling into sin. Have you not read about Esau? Let’s see what Bible says about him:

“Lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.” Hebrews 12:16, 17.

Esau thought he could fall into sin and repent and still get all the good promises of God, but it didn't work that way. The Bible says “When he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected” He missed all the blessings just because of “one morsel of food”, a single falling into temptation can render all the good promises of God for your future, marriage, career, ministry, business useless. And so many are thinking like Esau today, they think if they commit sin or compromise, they can quickly repent and ask for forgiveness, yes God is faithful to forgive if you confess, but what about the blessings you might have lost in the process?

CHILDREN ANIMATED CARTOON
Psalm 106:39, "Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds."

As the devil has device several means to defile Christians who are determined to make heaven, in order to tarnish their white garments without their knowledge, he is using little, little strategies which we do not count or take note of, and this will hinder many from making heaven. As the Spirit of God opens our eyes, we should take prompt correction and amend our ways. Here is what our Lord Jesus Christ revealed to a sister, Angelica Zambrano, to expose Satan's devices to defile children, and to help us to correct ourselves.

SECRET REVEALED: "....As we left that place and He (Jesus) told me, "I want to show you something else... There are also children in this place." And I replied, “Children in this place, Lord? Why are there children here? Jesus replied, "Daughter, it's true, of such is the kingdom of Heaven, but that child must come to Me, for he who comes to Me I will not throw out."(John 6:37). Instantly, the Lord showed me an eight year old boy being tormented in fire. The boy cried, "Lord have mercy of me, take me out of this place, I don't want to be here!" He kept crying and screaming. I saw demons around this boy, that resembled cartoon figures. There was Dragon Balls Z, Ben 10, Pokémon, Doral, etc. "Lord, why is this boy here?" Jesus showed me a large screen of this boy's life. I saw how he would spend all of his time in front of the TV, watching these cartoons.

Jesus said, "Daughter, these animated cartoons, those movies, those soap operas that are seen daily on TV are satan's instruments to destroy humanity...Look, Daughter how this came to be."Daughter, go and tell parents to instruct their child as is written in My Word. (Proverbs 22:6)" The Word of God is real, it tells us to correct a child with the rod, but not every moment, only when the child has been disobedient to his parents. (Proverbs 22:15)"

The Lord told me something that is very sad and very painful. He said, "Daughter, there are many children in this place because of animated cartoons, because of rebellion." I asked Him, "Lord, why are animated cartoons to blame for this?" And He explained, "Because they are demons that carry rebellion, disobedience, bitterness and hatred to children; and other demons enter these children, so that they do not do good things, but do that which is bad: whatever children see on TV, they want to do in reality." Hell exists, hell is real, and even children must decide with whom they will go. I said, “Lord, tell me, why are there children in this place?" And Jesus answered, "Once children have knowledge that there is a heaven and a hell, then they have a place to choose."

If you allow your children to watch any cartoon apart from Bible stories, you are simply exposing them to demons; if you also involve in watching cartoon other than Christian types which will help you in God's way, you are digging pit of hell for yourself. Repentance is a matter of urgency here. You should explain to your children about this, and destroy all the animated DVDs, delete the channel in your TV cable; if you have any item like bag, bottle, ball, whatever, which has the pictures of Ben 10 or any animated figure, you need to destroy them so as to get yourself and your child rid of satanic pictures.

It is important for us to lead our children to Jesus Christ as soon they are about 7 years old; you should explain salvation in Jesus Christ to them, and tell them how to be saved by repentance, confession of sins and living a new life in Jesus. You also need to help them to pray and read their Bible every day, and get them Bible materials, movies and music that will help their spiritual lives.

....This Study continues in Part 3 with another common defilement.
