P R E M A R I T A L - Don't Mess With Costly Mistake
If in a Christian marital relationship, either of them is demanding for premarital sex, it means there is a mistake somewhere, it is either the person who demands premarital sex is a mistake to the other person or the other person is making mistaking by going into marital relationship with somebody who demands for premarital sex; it may also be that the person who demands for premarital sex backslides along the way during the relationship or the other person got saved along the way during the relationship and then refuses premarital sex. Premarital sex is a fornication of the highest order, and fornication or fornicator should not even be mentioned among the genuine children of God.

It is a mistake for a child of God to get into marital relationship with a fornicator who demands premarital sex. If you are a child of God, you don’t go into relationship with a brother or sister who is a fornicator; it is a serious mistake of life. Here is what the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 5:9, “I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators.”

It is a serious mistake to lose your salvation and relationship with God because you don’t want to lose a relationship with a partner who demands for premarital sex, because it is even a mistake to get into relationship with such person in the first instance. When by mistake a child of God finds herself or himself in a marital relationship with a wrong person, the right solution is to end the relationship immediately. It is a mistake to think God will save a fornicator along the way or the fornicator may change, because it is a serious mistake to base your life on probability after God has helped you to see the truth clearly.

LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX: SINCERE TALK WITH CHRISTIAN SINGLES
Years back when I was single, there were several temptations that came across my ways in fact I thought of myself as somebody who was more prone to sexual temptation than an average man. And not being sure of when I would even get married, all I had to do was to pray and watch so I would not fall into temptation, praying for the grace of God and also being watchful. I decided not to be in unnecessary casual marital relationship until God’s time. When I was living alone in 3 bedrooms apartment as a single brother, I determined not to allow ladies coming to visit me, not for any reason, not even sisters from church, keeping a good distance from opposite sex as much as possible.

Since I gave my life to Jesus early enough, I was not exposed to sexual immorality, all I knew was pressures within and temptations around everywhere. I wasn’t available for casual relationship until I’m sure of God’s will and ready for marriage. But along the way things went wrong and I got myself into several wrong relationships but thank God for His grace and mercy to kept me through.

You see, as a single Christian, as you are keeping yourself in the Lord, the devil, the world and even your flesh will bring pressure and temptations of sexual immorality to you as if everything in life is all about sex. In your school, after school, at workplace, in your neighborhood and even in the church today, as if you cannot survive without falling; the world is making sex looks so important that many singles think they can’t wait until marriage before they start experiencing it, but the sincere truth is that sex does not worth having before marriage, it doesn’t worth it at all.

When I was single, I had this thought that would be sex was so special that it could not be over-emphasize, because I never experienced it before but when I got married, yes, it is special but it could be overemphasize more than what it really worth. As a single, the devil and the world can bring pressure and temptations of sexual immorality on you as if that is what life is all about, and that exactly is the reason many youths and singles are falling into fornication and all sorts of sexual immoralities, but the truth is that sex is good but it doesn’t worth it before marriage, it gives bitter after-taste.

Pre-marital sex or extra-marital sex is like when a person wants to be on top of the world that he takes the stress, risk and pains to climb Mount Everest and after reaching the top, he found himself at the lowest part of the world, that is exactly how it is to fall to the pressure of sex before or outside marriage, after throwing all cautions to the air and yielding to the dirty temptation, you will find yourself empty, you will feel dirty from inside out, and all the high pressure and romantic passion will go down, you will feel more miserable than you felt romantic at the beginning, as if you empty your life for nothing.

When I was single, God kept all through from falling into fornication, so I never experience sex than to imagine it would be a great experience in marriage, even though I had lots of pressures and temptation, I usually encouraged that “Don’t worry, when you get married, you will have enough of it better, it is all a matter of time.” That is the truth, single brothers and sisters; it is all about a matter of time. The time will come that you will get married and you will wish your spouse doesn’t ask for sex at some times, the same sex Satan wanted to use to ruin you as a single.

No matter how long you have to wait until marriage before sex, it worth it, and do not give up sinning against your soul and against God.

Sex before marriage empties every good thing in one’s life and fills it with every evil thing from devil.

My beloved single brother and sister, the pressure and passion for premarital sex is not real, it’s a mirage from the pit of latrine of Satan, though it comes sometimes so strong but it’s temporal, either you yield or not, it will fade away; if you yield, you will find yourself empty, dirty and miserable but if you do not yield, you will find yourself filled with more grace and goodness of God.

And the worst of it is when singles are now in a marital relationship, when you have only little time left to get married, the pressure and temptation will still come seriously, but it does not worth it.

No matter how delicious a hot soup looks, even with its entire aroma, it doesn’t worth eating when it’s so hot that you get your tongue burnt while you have the time to wait for it to cool; you will not enjoy the taste with a burnt tongue. So also is a sex before marriage, it burns with passion of lust and leaves its victims hunted, wounded and miserable.

Do not become a victim of premarital sex and all forms of sexual immoralities such as kissing, romancing and other dirty activities before marriage.

MY CANDID COUNSEL FOR CHRISTIAN SINGLES
Do not give you what you need most for what you need the moment.

Distant yourself from every occasion which can lead to temptation.

In marital relationship, run from every appearance of sin, not sin itself. Do not wait until you are close to the sin before you will run, you may not have the strength to resist by then.

If you are in a marital relationship in which you have fallen into premarital sex, do not cover up or continue to manage the sin, but you must open up, confess to your leads and partners in the Lord or seek for counsel. Sometimes, premarital sex can destroy God’s plan for a glorious relationship, so beware.

The pressure and romantic passion is temporal and even a mirage, it is not real, what is real is genuine love, which only God can give, so wait until God give you the right person.

Marriage cannot solve the problem of lust, it is only encounter with Jesus Christ can solve that.

If you lack self-control to overcome premarital sex, you will also lack self-control to overcome extra-marital sex, so you better settle that with God once and for all.

A man or woman who demands for premarital sex in relationship will also demand for extra-marital sex with another person outside your marriage.

Do not be another Esau of this generation to sell a glorious destiny for few minutes’ pleasure. ….
“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.” Hebrews 12:16, 17.

God bless you as you watch and pray. Another topic soon: LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX: SINCERE TALK WITH CHRISTIAN COUPLE

MIGHTY MIRACLES WITHOUT REPENTANCE!
Do you know that it is possible for someone to receive mighty miracles from God without genuine repentance from sin, while the person still continues in sinful life? Do you know that a church or family can be witnessing and experiencing some mighty signs and wonders without repentance to genuine salvation? Yes, it is possible and that was the case with some cities Jesus Christ rebuked in Matthew 11:20, "Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent."

Occurrence of miracles does not indicate that you have genuinely repented and settled your life with God; multiple blessings of God in your life is not an evidence that you are a genuine child of God or that God is pleased with you; testimonies of signs and wonders in a church is not an indication of a repented and godly church.

Miracles, blessings, signs and wonders are just God's generous kindness toward people to draw them to repentance, for a period of patience, but if they delay to repent and forsake their sins, horrible and unbearable judgement will soon follow; that was what happened to those cities where Jesus Christ performed mighty miracles and they refused to repent:

“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes." Matthew 11:21

"And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day." Matthew 11:23

Signs and wonders without salvation and holiness will only lead to eternal woes! The period of grace and kindness will not continue for ever.

Miracles without new mind of godliness is like taking the kindness of God for granted and inviting the judgement of God.

Preaching and praying primarily on miracles, signs and wonders without priority of repentance to godly life in Christ is an evidence of satanic church and a shallow Christian.

Have you genuinely repented from your sins since you have been enjoying the kindness of God in your life? If not, why not now?

7-Yr-Old Girl Reveals That Adeboye,TB Joshua, Oyedepo,Oritsejafor & Others Will Not Make Heaven, Say’s They Are Candidates of HELL!

Seven year old Iretioluwa is like every other children, but what makes her different is her spiritual proclamations, which makes her an extra-human being. When we were invited by her parents saying “our daughter wants you”. It was like a call not too clear. But upon inquiry made by a WHAT ELSE website, they claim they discovered that it was not just a call but a diving call that requires a diving response.

According to the website, they claim:

Ireti-Oluwa has become a friend of Jesus Christ upon whom she resides and proclaim messages for the world.

“Most times Jesus Christ appears to her and tells her lots of things especially hidden things which He (Jesus) wants us to know” declares the mother.

“But the most shocking of all she has been told is about men of God whom we reverence in this country and she told us to look for a Christian newspaper. In fact, she wrote the name of your magazine and we started looking for it” – the father cuts in.

We were ushered into the spacious living room of the Ifedayos when Iretioluwa was taking her breakfast. We waited for her to finish and we settled down for the business of the day.

Iretioluwa, a primary three pupil was so bold as she declared what she said was told her by Jesus Christ.

According to her, my Lord and savior said i should declare to Pastor Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God that he cannot make heaven. Though he started very well in spite of his works, he has compromised. “He has missed me a long time ago. I am only honouring my name in his life. He no longer has a place in me. Tell him to go back to his first love and drop every load of compromise he is carrying.

“Tell David Oyedepo that his hands are soiled with human blood. His name is not in the book of life. He has missed it a long time ago. Tell him what will profit him if he gains the whole world and end in Hell fire.

David Olukoya of Mountain of fire and miracles is encouraging evil and doesn’t want to repent. Tell him to stop living a double life. He knows the stones in his hands, tell him to drop them if he MUST enter heaven, he has to live a complete life of holiness.

Ayo Oritsejafor is not my servant. He has gone astray in the pursuit of fame, power, money. Warn him to repent before he ends where his boss his.

T.B. Joshua is an advocate of Satan in Nigeria, he has sold his soul to the devil and he knows hell is awaiting him.

Christ Oyakhilome made a vow to Satan and he has succeeded to win souls for Satan. He is the front runner of the new age teachings in the world.

Many pastors that hoist flags of different churches know why they are doing so. Beware of such gathering.

Evil altar has reached an alarming rate in Nigeria.

HERE IS A NOTE FROM RTEM:

If you are a member of any of the churches these ministers are leading or such churches, then you are in a misled, unbliblical church, you can pray for God's leading either to leave such misled church or ask for God's grace to be different and stand for the truth if at all God wants you to still remain there.

If you take any of these ministers as your role model, you are shooting yourself at the foot. Among them are backsliders, sinners and agents of Satan. If their big names and popularity are blindfolding you from seeing the truth, then you need the light of God's Word to set you free.

If you are a minister in any of these churches, it may be impossible for you to remain a genuine minister of God and speak the whole truth without being a rebel.

At this end time, the best Spiritual guide you can have is the BIBLE, the best Bible Teacher without any error you can have is the HOLY SPIRIT and the best role model that will not mislead you can ever have is the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you will are ready to totally surrender your life to Jesus and experience the light of God in your life, please click on this link, read and pray as directed https://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-to-be-saved-and-start-a-new-life-in-jesus/270674586372252

BEING IN TUNE WITH HOLY SPIRIT STATION
If you are driving from Lagos to Ibadan, a journey of about 120klm, and you tune to your favourite radio station in your vehicle, for example LAGOS 97.5 FM; as you are driving around Lagos the radio station will be very clear. But you will discover that as you move a bit far away from Lagos, the radio wave will be getting noisy as if wing is carrying it on and off, and it will get to a particular point that will not be able to hear what they are saying on the radio clear again because you are driving far away from Lagos where the radio station is located. Along the journey it will get to a point where you will not hear any word or music from the radio station again except the noise. And by the time you get to the city of Ibadan, you may be surprised that you will be hearing another station pick up from that same 97.5 FM, but no longer LAGOS FM, it is another radio station in Ibadan. This is the illustration the Lord gave me this morning when we were praying in the fellowship about our relationship and connection with Holy Spirit. Let me explain details to you below:

DIFFERENT LEVELS OF CONNECTION WITH HOLY SPIRIT
1, Full Connection
When you repent and become born again, the Holy Spirit enters into your life and becomes your Companion, Great Teacher and Comforter; you are in tune with the Holy Spirit, and as long you maintain intimacy with Him through reading and meditating the Word of God, praying, obeying the Word of God and following the leading of the Holy Spirit, you will remain in tune with the Holy Spirit the Great Comforter and Teacher. In such situation you are in clear connection with Holy Spirit, you can hear Him leading you and guiding you in all your ways. You don’t need a prophet to tell you the mind of God, His Spirit is already in you speaking clearly to you and leading you. He tells you how to pray, what to pray, and sometimes, when to pray. And it is the same Holy Spirit that will help you to make the Rapture when it happens.

2, Fading Connection
This is a situation where a Believer is not fully connected or in tune with the Holy Spirit, when the noises of the world, of the flesh and of Satan begin to compete with the voice of Holy Spirit because such believer is moving a bit far away from the Holy Spirit. When half obedience is replacing full obedience, when prayer life, Bible reading life, and evangelism life is not growing but rather going down. Such a believer cannot hear the voice of the Spirit clearly, not too far but not very close.

3, Faraway Disconnection
This is a point where many Christians have gone far from the Holy Spirit that they only hear the noise of the world, no voice of the Spirit of God and no melody of spiritual things again. Consistently grieving the Holy Spirit, refusing to repent immediately the Holy Spirit corrects you, inconsistent prayer life, skipping Bible reading and forgetting about evangelism lead to this stage of disconnection from the Holy Spirit. When the things of God look boring to you and the Holy Spirit seems far away from you, it means you are no longer in tune with the Holy Spirit, you have gone far from His reach and coverage.

Many Christians are in this level of faraway disconnection from the Holy Spirit, but they are still making noise of speaking in tongues, of old testimonies, of paying tithes and offerings and occupying positions in the church; many are being deceived by the noise of empty prayer life and church activities without connection with the Holy Spirit again. Un-repented sins and continuous disobedience to the Holy Spirit keep many away from the connection of Holy Spirit.

This is not the last or worst level of connection in Christian life, is worst is the number 4:

4, Familiar Spirit Reconnection
Just like the illustration the Lord gave me of a person who tunes his car’s stereo to LAGOS 97.5 FM in Lagos and driving to Ibadan, by the time he gets to Ibadan, though his car stereo still tunes to 97.5, but another radio station will take over in Ibadan. This is the worst and most dangerous level a Christian can be in the spirit. When a Christian gets to level 3 of faraway disconnection from the Holy Spirit, and such Christian refuses to retrace his way back to Bethel where he met Christ, to the territory of Holy Spirit connection, then the devil will take over completely; even though on his car stereo he still tunes to 97.5, but another radio station is operating in the wave.

Many Christians today are under the manipulation and control of familiar spirit of the forces of darkness but they still think it is the Holy Spirit whereas Holy Spirit has long time ago disconnected from them. As it is applicable to Christian members, so it is to Christian ministers, even though they still pray, preach and dress like before, though they still speak in tongues and perform miracles, yet they are under the control of another spirit.

A long time far away from the Holy Spirit gives way to familiar spirit to take over, and this is the most terrible situation where there is no more condemnation of evil, where the conscience is seared, where the flesh takes over, where truth is seen as false and lie is defended as truth; when a Christian easily flows with the world.

You remember king Saul in the Bible? He started with the fullness of the Spirit of God but ended with familiar spirit. When he got to the point of faraway disconnection, instead of him to retrace his way back to God and repent, he continued going farther away from God until he got reconnected with a familiar spirit and had a disastrous ending. Many Christians and ministers are following the steps of King Saul even till today.

A TIMELY WARNING!
When you think you are still in tune with a spirit giving you confidence in your sin and worldliness, it is a familiar spirit of the devil manipulating you, not the Holy Spirit, because Holy Spirit does not abide in sin.

When you are still hearing a voice speaking to you to ignore Bible warnings, and the spirit is defending you and pushing you to continue in ungodly ways and worldliness, it is the spirit from the pit of hell.

When a spirit is giving you confidence in sin and misinterpreting the word of God to sooth sin, that does not condemn sin, that tells you to cover sin, that tells you not to condemn sin in your ministry, that tells you those sinful things you rejected before are not that bad, such spirit is a familiar spirit from the pit of hell.

GO BACK TO GOD
Are you having fading connection with Holy Spirit? You are far away from the Holy Spirit? Or you have been manipulated by familiar spirit? It is not too late, all you need to do is to repent, retrace your way back to Jesus and be renewed. Jesus is waiting for you where you left Him. He still loves you and it is not over yet. Do not delay further, go back to Him now!

GRACE WITH LABOUR (2)
Two days ago, we shared the first part of this message on Grace with Labour in Christian life. If you have not read the first part, it will be advisable to read it before reading this second part, please click on this link that leads to part 1 https://www.facebook.com/revelationoftruthevangelicalministries.rtem/photos/a.244146345691743.45215.244086502364394/908352959271075/?type=3

“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10.

Grace enhance more labour, it does not reduce labour, because more labour that get more fruitfulness.

THE PURPOSE OF GRACE IN MINISTRY
The purpose of grace in the ministry is for salvation of sinners and edification of saints, anything apart from these is eternally useless; it is also for self-sacrifice in the work as Paul said he labored more to serve people and not for people to serve him. The abundant grace of God in the ministry is not for motivation of sinners and distraction of saints from heavenly focus, it is not for a minister to amass wealth or exercise lordship, it’s not for self-serving system opportunity for pastors and leaders in the ministry. The grace of God in ministry is given free of charge and it should be used freely from charging.

The purpose of grace in ministry is not to be famous, not to make fortune or to make followers or fans but for salvation of sinners and edification of the saved.

The effect of grace in ministry does not imply that the ministry will be less stressful physically, but the more grace you have in the ministry, the more labourous and productive you will become. The purpose of grace in the ministry is to labour more in the vineyard of God, but unfortunately many are misusing the grace of God in their ministries. When God releases His grace on a minister in any ministry, He expects him to make use of that grace for kingdom productivity - winning souls, edifying believers, and extending the kingdom of God on earth. This grace of God in the ministry can be spiritual gifts, divine capacity or signs and wonders, but the biblical primary purpose of this grace is for the salvation of sinners and edification of the saved, any effort made apart from these are in vain.

THE PURPOSE OF GOD’S GRACE IN OUR PERSONAL LIFE
In our personal living, we receive grace of God at different levels, and the purpose behind the grace of God in our lives is to use it to glorify Him by, 1, living our lives to please and, 2, leading people to God through the grace. When God gives you grace to perform well in your schooling, the purpose is to use it for His glory. I remember when I was in a particular school, I was performing well as the best student, and I was respected by my fellow students, so I used the opportunity to share the word of God with them; that I would stand in front of them and they would keep quiet and wanted to listen to whatever I wanted to say was a great opportunity to use the grace for God’s kingdom.

God can give you grace of good position in society, in organization or workplace, this grace has a purpose, and the purpose is to use the grace for God’s kingdom, not for yourself, not to be in vain but to use it to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. When God place you in any position, it’s a grace, you are to use the grace to reach out the word of God to sinners and to establish the kingdom of God in that capacity, don’t let the grace be in vain.

Grace can also come in times of getting a job or favour in your place of work, like Daniel, you must not misuse the grace, you must not let the grace given you by God go in vain, but you use it for God so He can give you more. First, use the opportunity of your job, promotion, position or favour you are getting to preach Christ to the unsaved there and live a life of Christ before you think of any personal benefits. When God gives you the grace as a teacher, do you use the opportunity to reach out God’s word to those students?

In our businesses and careers, God can give us grace, the purpose is to use it first for His kingdom’s glory by using the opportunity to share and spread God’s word with people there, it is not to eat the blessing and forget the gospel. The grace that God gives you to be connected with some people in the society, in your workplace or school should not be in vain, but you should use it to share and spread the word of God to them. Don’t be too much particular about what you will get than what the kingdom of God will gain.

God has given my wife and I a small company, when people order for products we try as much as possible to include a gospel tract with the products, and so that is how we are reaching out the word of God to people and homes who never would have had access to the word of God. I believe many have read the message and are saved. Great and small people in society, Christians and Muslims we supply also get the message. By so doing, the grace of making sales that God gives us will not be in vain, and God may want us to sell more so we will be able to share His word, and so God gets more glory and we get more blessing by His grace.

I went to a printing office sometimes ago and I talked with the manager who is a Christian if they can change their TV cable to a Christian cable so that everyone who comes in will watch Christian movies, and she said no, that some of their customers are not Christians and so they don’t want to sound religious. So the grace of God upon that business is in vain. And many Christians are ignorantly doing the same today; they think they are being wise; they don’t want to interrupt their job, position, contracts, sales, career or business with the gospel of Jesus. Some are afraid that if they share gospel with their unbelieving clients or connected personalities, they will lose them; not knowing that God connected them with such people in the first instant for the purpose of reaching out to them with the gospel, and when they fail to do that, the grace of God will be in vain over their lives.

CONCLUSION
We must be ready to use the grace of God to expand the kingdom of God on earth, either in the ministry or in our personal lives; the grace of God must not be misused or go in vain.

2 Corinthians 6:1, “We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.”

GRACE WITH LABOUR
“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10.

Grace doesn’t cancel the effect of work and labor in Christian life, ministry or in our personal life, but rather it enhance more labor and work. The more grace we have, the more laborious and hardworking we are to become. What is grace? Grace is God’s enablement, empowerment to do something extra-ordinary in our Christian living, in our ministry and in our personal living.

VAIN GRACE
When we receive grace from God and we fail to add our own part of work, then the grace will be in vain – becomes useless. Apostle Pail said he became fruitful and so effective in the Lord because he made use of the grace of God in his life by working hard to make the grace fruitful. .. and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly. 1 Corinthians 15:10.

Here is what the word of God says, “We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.” 1 Corinthians 6:1.

When you have the grace to give your life to Jesus, but refuses and think you will always have the grace, then the grace will be in vain and you will be lost forever. After you give your life to Jesus, God gives you grace to grow, but if you do not make use of it; the grace will be in vain. When God gives you grace to preach to somebody somewhere, but you refuse and thinking another time will come, you have allowed the grace to be in vain. When you have the grace to do restitution but delay it, then the grace has been in vain. Grace of God without our own working to make use of it goes in vain. 1 Corinthians 6:1.

GRACE + WORK = FRUITFULNESS
In Christian Life
The effect of grace in Christian life is not a license to live a careless Christian life or falling and rising in sin, thinking the grace of God is always available. What the grace of God does in our Christian life is to empower and enable us to overcome sin and temptation, to work righteousness, self-denying, godly life, and also to be fruitful in the work of God. Titus 2:11, 12, “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.”

Purpose of Grace
Some erroneous pastors and misled Christians believe that grace is meant to enjoy with a careless living, that, “we are in the era of grace so you can live as you like, dress as you like and the grace of God covers you” They say, “As long you have confessed Jesus as your Savior, you have unlimited grace to continue in sin, that your work of righteousness is like a filthy rag, so no need of stressing yourself to work righteousness, all you need is grace and grace alone.” Such a teaching like this is not only erroneous but a self-destructive. In the first instance, if you believe in grace, what is the purpose of grace? If you know the need for something but you don’t know the purpose of it, then it will become in vain for you or even cause you problem. And that is what is happening to many Christians today, receiving the grace of God in vain, because grace alone is useless, grace without working to make use of it is in vain.

The purpose of grace is to make use of it to do above human power, by the grace of God. The grace of God helps us to overcome temptation, to overcome sin, that is to discontinue in sin, not to continue in sin, because grace does not work in sin but work against sin, and we cannot continue in both together. We can either, continue in sin and perish or receive the grace, make use of it by adding watchfulness, vigilance, prayerfulness and meditation in God’s word to live above sin. We cannot not continue in sin, when we knowing fully well we are sinning against God, and expect the grace of God to abound in our lives. We have got to choose one – grace to discontinue living in sin or living in sin to discontinue grace, but both cannot continue together, says the Bible. Romans 6:1, 2, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not!”

We must make use of the grace of God now by surrendering our lives to Him, confessing and forsaking our sins, and in our Christian lives by living to overcome sin and temptation by the grace of God and also being fruitful in the work of God, in evangelism and edification. May the grace of God never be in vain in our lives in Jesus name.

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” Hebrews 12:28.

FULFILLING ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS
Matthew 3:15, "But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him."

To fulfill all righteousness is not just to do something for the sake of doing it for nothing sake. To fulfill all righteousness is to follow the scriptures accordingly, even when it seems not necessary or when it looks difficult. Fulfilling all righteousness is following scriptures to the last letter as written in the Bible for the fulfillment of the righteous promises of the scriptures to come to pass.

We must follow the scripture to the end before we can see the end-result of the scripture. It's when we fulfill ALL scriptural righteousness that the scriptural promises will come to pass in our lives and ministries. When we obey or fulfill half righteousness of the scriptures, when we interpret the scripture to suite our personal conveniences, or when we obey some parts of the scriptures and see the other parts as unnecessary, we cannot have the fullness and fulfillment of the righteous promises of God.

Jesus Christ went to John the Baptist for water baptism, but John saw it as quite unnecessary for Jesus Christ to be baptized by him, in fact he said he ought to come to Jesus for baptism. But then Jesus Christ told him it was necessary to fulfill all righteousness. And after Jesus was baptized by John, as He came up from the water, behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:16, 17.

Three things happened after Jesus fulfilled all righteousness:
(1) HEAVENS OPENED. Heavens, not just a single heaven, all heavens were opened on Jesus. Until we fulfill all righteousness of the scriptures, we can not experience the opened heavens of God's blessings in our lives and ministries. What we are experiencing now is minor compared to when "heavens" opens. The fullness of all blessings of heavens hinges on our fulfilling all righteousness. When we desire opened heaven of God's outpouring Spirit, anointing, blessings and miracles in our lives, families, and ministries, we must first fulfill all righteousness. Half-done obedience or half-way obedience cannot reach heaven to open.

(2) SPIRIT FALLING. God has promised the outpouring of His Spirit upon us, but before this scripture can be fulfilled, we must first fulfill all righteousness of the scriptures - by following the will of God, obeying the Word of God and doing things in the way of God. Failure to fulfill all will falter the existing blessings and frustrate the expecting promises of the scriptures. The fulfillment of God's promises is not just by asking, praying or fasting; it is by fulfilling all righteousness of God.

(3) GOD'S APPROVAL: To experience the blessing of God in our lives is not as important as experiencing the Spirit of God present and working in our lives and ministries; and to experience the move and miracles of Holy Spirit in our lives and ministries is not as important as receiving God's approval at the end of our lives on earth. It's possible to get God's blessings of opened heavens, it is possible to see the move and miracle of God's Spirit, and at the end gains no entrance into heaven.

Jesus Christ said, "Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’" Matthew 7:22,23. These Christians and ministers who were disapproved by Jesus Christ experienced opened heaven of blessings in their lifetimes, they also experienced the great move and miracles of God's Spirit to the point of doing "many wonders", but they failed to fulfill all the righteousness of God in their lives and ministries, they failed to follow the scriptures to the letter, they gave their personal interpretations to the scriptures for their own conveniences. At the end, they failed to receive God's approval, and so they were doomed forever to hell despite all the blessings and anointing they had.

Jesus Christ received God's approval, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" because He fulfilled all righteousness. What if Jesus did not go to John the Baptist for water baptism? What if Jesus went to John just to visit without fulfilling all righteousness for water baptism? What if Jesus had heeded the suggestion of John the Baptism not to be baptized? He would not have seen heaven opened, then, He would not have received the Spirit falling, and He would not have received God's approval.

PERSONAL LIFE
Christianity has become so clumsy with different ideologies and doctrines that fulfilling all scriptural righteousness is not unnecessary, or it’s so tedious. In our personal Christian living, and in our different denominations, we tend to do half righteousness and fill the rest with human ideology or interpretation of the elders. We indulge in several worldliness and unfaithfulness, falling short to fulfill all righteousness. We involve in "it doesn't matter" sins, selfishness and permissiveness, and we still claim to be righteous. Little lies do not matter, little worldliness do not matter, worldly music, movies, magazines, TV reality shows, and makeup do not really matter to us any longer; exposing and expensive dress never bother us again, bribing for contracts and falsifying age for job do not matter as long as you pay your tithes faithfully.

Anger, envy, jealousy and gossip do not spoil our faith again as long we still greet one another. All these make us fall short to fulfill all righteousness, and they will make us fail to get God's approval if we do not repent. When we fail to fulfill all righteousness, then we fall short to receive God's righteous promises of eternal blessings. We need to go back to old time faith of righteousness before we can ever experience old time revival.

FAMILY
In our marriages and families, starting from courtships, do we fulfill all righteousness to keep the bed undefiled? We must fulfill all righteousness of the scriptures in our homes before we can experience God's presence. Wives must submit to their husbands irrespective of their statures, husbands must love their wives irrespective of their states, and children must obey their parents in the Lord.

The Bible says what God has joined together, let no man separate; but today, we care for money than we care for our marriage. The incessant separation because of job and business without first praying to seek God’s leading has ruined many Christian homes. Simply because of love of money and care for better financial life, we do not bother to maintain the unity of marriage; many children are wayward, many husbands have given in to strange women, and many wives are living in grave loneliness because of technical separation, because of the love of money we are running divided house. Temporal separation because of job transfer or business pursuit is not a sin, but it is not good and it will not go well with every family; that is the reason family needs to first seek God’s face for leading before moving. But the love of money and care of this world will not allow contentment and unity with little.

Oneness is Bible command in every Christian home, that is, husband and wife doing and planning EVERYTHING together, but in a case where husband has secret bank account, secret project or things he cannot disclose to his wife, and the wife has something in secret, how do you want to unite together in prayer and prevail over the enemy? How do you want to experience God’s presence in your marriage, or how will enemies not keep tormenting such Christian home when there are covered sins and past sins unrevealed?

CHURCH
In the church today, we are fulfilling scriptural righteousness to half and filling the rest with our church ordinances to suite ourselves.

Doctrines - Every denomination interpret the scriptures the way that will fit their personal interest. The members see what their senior Pastors and Bishops say as final without searching the scriptures to cross check, yes, that is like an abomination today.

Tithes- We claim the payment of tithes, we collect tithes with scriptural backing but we fail to fulfill the purpose of the tithes as clearly stated in the Bible. When the Bible says, "Bring the tithes and offerings to My storehouse, that there may be food in My house" We bring the tithes, we collect the tithes but we divert it for other purposes. We claim the promises of tithes but we don't use it for the scriptural purpose for the collection of the tithes. The biblical purpose of tithes is for distribution of the tithes for the benefits of the people who pay the tithes as the early church faithfully followed and fulfilled it. Acts 2:45; 4:35. While the scriptural purpose of the tithes is to build people in God's kingdom, we are busy building ultra modern church auditoriums.

The Bible purpose of the tithes and offerings is for Food - spiritual food for the people - for free materials; physical food for the people - for free food provisions, free basic healthcare, free library and schools for the same people who paid the tithes; instead, we are busy building multimillion church edifice. Church’s secondary schools are unavoidable, our church universities are more expensive than Government schools, and yet we pray for revival in our churches. How can there be revival of Holy Spirit when there is no faithfulness? We claim to have holiness church, but how can a church that is not faithful with money be a church of holiness? How can we claim to run a Bible church when we can’t be faithful with usage of tithes as clearly stated in Old Testament and clearly followed by the New Testament church?

We give several excuses of using the tittle for administrative purposes and others, that is nothing but extra biblical misuse of fund; it is siphoning money for unbiblical purposes. The early church could also give excuses but they knew they had to fulfill all righteousness just as it is written in the scriptures, so that they would not fall short at the end. No wonder we pray and fast for revival but only to see more reversal. When we want to collect the tithes, we claim the scriptures, but when we want to use it, we say that is how churches in American and Europe use the tithes for administrative purposes. No wonder we are not having Bible church again, but American church; no wonder we are not seeing our signs again, no wonder enemies are insulting and assaulting the church, because we are not faithful, even with money. Until we fulfill all righteousness, until we are faithful to all the scriptural commands to the letter, we will keep recycling. If biblical administrative system is too old for us in our modern world, then we are too fragile to contain the old time revival.

Let’s go back to the old path of fulfilling all scriptural righteousness, no matter how old or odd it seems, so that we can experience the old time revival in our lives, homes, ministries and churches.

Hosea 6:1-3
Come, and let us return to the LORD;
For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
2 After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
3 Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD.
His going forth is established as the morning;
He will come to us like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.

“THIS MONEY IS NOT MY MONEY”
Sometimes ago, I was in hurry to get few USD for my office’s transaction, so I went to Bureau De Change to get the dollar. Because I was in a hurry to collect the money and pay into the bank before it closes, I mistakenly over paid the man at the Bureau De Change, I was to pay him about N67,000 (Nigerian money), but I paid him N73,000 unknowingly. Later the man called me on phone and told me I overpaid him and that I should come to collect the excess. I was surprised and I later went back to him. The Muslim man explained to me that when he later sat down to count the money well, he discovered the excess of N5600, he said, “This money is not my money, gaskia!”

I thought about the statement of this man, “This money is not my money” meaning he could not unlawfully take another man’s money with his own. He couldn’t join another man’s money with his own, though he is not a Christian but he had that fear that it is dangerous to do such.

How Dangerous?
When you take what doesn’t belong to you, when you unlawfully add someone’s money or belonging to your own, you are in danger of the mess of the devil.

LOSS OF DESTINY
When you want to play smart and cheat, steal or deceive someone, you unlawfully gain another man’s possession, in your own mind, you are playing smart, but before God you are a fool. You know what will happen? God will take 100% of what you steal from your destiny, and use it to repay your victim. Can you imagine people who unlawfully gained wealth but lost their health? Some lost the glorious destiny God has for them, yet they think they are smart.

LOSS OF GREAT THINGS
I have noticed that anytime God is about to do something great in my life or promote me financially, I usually have temptations from Satan. I remember in 2013, a company in Lagos was mistakenly paying money into my saving account, at first I thought it was a support from brethren, the following month, I received the same amount and I saw notice with the credit alert, “Salary” then I realized the company was mistakenly paying salary into my account. I checked the name of the company, google it, called the manager and explained to him, then he apologized and said his accountant would call me. The accountant called me, asked about my account number, promised to stop paying into my account, and sent the company’s account number to forward the money I received by mistake, and I did.

The following month and 2 months after, they still paid the same amount into my account; I had to go to my bank, because it was same bank with the company, the bank called the company’s accountant and later called the branch of the bank where the company operated their account before they stopped paying into my account. Can you see how far Satan can go to tempt a Christian? At that time I was in need. But that same month I made effort for them to stop paying the money into my account, God opened doors of blessings for my family that we started paying salary to worker more than the amount I was mistakenly receiving in my account.

When God is about to do something great in a man’s life or about to take him to greater level, the devil will bring temptation of getting what does not belong to him, he will package a dangerous gift for him, a gift of compromising to gain possession, of cheating or stealing or even picking another man’s money or property’s on the ground, and if you are too smart, you become foolish and miss God’s great plan for your life.

LOSS OF ETERNITY
Cheating, stealing, deceiving people, taking or giving bribe or falsifying information to gain wealth will not only deprive you of God’s glorious plan for you on earth but it will also deny you of eternal life with God in heaven. So what shall it profit a man after he gained lots of money, possessions and properties and he is lost forever in eternity?

SOLUTION: THE NECESSITY OF RESTITUTION
If you have cheated, stolen, deceived or falsified documents or information to gain wealth, certificate, papers, job, property, etc. you need to repent, rededicate your life to Jesus Christ and then return what you got unlawfully.

If you need counsel on how to go about making your way right with people in restitution, please contact us by email, phone call or send message to our Facebook inbox

DO NOT CURSE
Romans 12:14, “ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.”

Cursing people is a general and common thing among people from the beginning of the world in every culture. It’s to want evil or bad thing to happen to people who deeply offend us. Most curses come as a result of a terrible wrongdoing or an evil committed. People curse when people wrong them, and out of anger and vengeance to vindicate themselves, they place curse on the offender. Curse does not come without a cause. Naturally, it’s justifiable to alter a word or statement of curse against a person that deeply hurt or wrong you. The Old Testament standard permitted placing curse on the bad people because it’s the law of the nature.

Cursing does not come out of love or care for the offender but out of wrath and revenge. Cursing can be made from one’s heart without saying a word out and it can also be pronounced, either in the presence of the offender or in their absence. We all have the tendency to avenge ourselves when we are seriously wronged by placing a curse especially when we don’t have any other means to punish those we hurt us, and by human nature, we feel better or vindicated after placing curse on those who cheat or offend us, and we look forward for the manifestation of the curse.

But Jesus Christ teaches His followers never to curse anyone no matter what they do to us. The New Testament teachings of blessings are better than the Old Testament. Jesus Christ says in Matthew 5:43, 44, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.”

It’s the commandment of Jesus Christ; it may not go in line with the Old Testament, but it the best.

Since cursing does not come out of love, then cursing is contrary to the commandment of Jesus Christ. The Word of God says in 1 John 2:8, “Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.”

The new commandment of Jesus Christ in the New Testament is for the new creatures in Christ, and that is: bless and do not curse! The commandment of Jesus Christ forbids cursing and only true believers are obedient. He laid the example throughout His earthly ministry that He cursed no one, with all the people who spitefully used Him, even to the unjustified death on the cross He only blessed them by asking God to forgive them.

Why it is wrong for every child of God to curse people?

1, Because cursing is against the new commandment of Jesus Christ – LOVE. 1 John 2:8.

2, Because cursing is an act of vengeance, and that act only belong to God. Psalm 94:1.

3, Because the Spirit in us, as children of God, is to bless, not to curse. Luke 9:53-55.

4, Because we are no longer under the curse of the law but under the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:13.

Children of God who curse are living in ignorance, because what you need is not to curse those who offend but to let God take control and bless you in hundred fold. What is your concern? Is it curse on the person who offends you or blessing in return for you? For example, somebody steals your belonging, do you want God to seriously punish the thief or you want God to bless you in hundred fold of what was stolen? If someone steals your car, and you place curse on the thief, will that bring your car back? But if on the other way, you commit the person into God's hand to arrest him and command God's blessing into your life for abundant replenishment, and God provides another or a better car for you, the thief also is unrest and come back to you for confession, that is how God want us to walk.

Many Christians, because they are so engrossed with spirit of revenge, they would prefer God to punish their offenders than God to bless them instead.

Ministers of God who use their calling to curse are walking in ignorance; eye for eye will only make the world go blind. Love of God inspires us to bless those who offend or hurt us, to pray for their salvation or restoration, to ask God to replenish whatever people have taken from you wrongly.

Repent and Reverse
In anyway you have cursed people because of their wrong, if you are now a child of God, you will need to repent, ask for forgiveness and reverse the curse, bless those who have offended you, no matter how serious, by so doing, you are pulling them from generational curse and hell fire, and at the same time pouring the blessings of God upon your own life.

When people cheat us, offend us or hurt us, commit them into God's hands and command the blessings of God upon your life in return.

May the Blessed God be our help!

CAN CHILDREN OF GOD COHABIT?
Cohabitation is an arrangement where a man and woman who are not married live together in an intimate relationship, particularly an emotionally and/or sexually intimate one, on a short-term, long-term or permanent basis; living together in a sexual relationship without being married.

People cohabit for several reasons: some because of financial difficulty to do wedding, so they decide to live together until they can gather enough money for wedding; some cohabit to test and try their relationship, and see if they can move forward to proper marriage; some cohabit because either parents do not support the relationship, so they decide to live together until both parents support. Others cohabit because of relocation, and so they stay together for the time other partner gets his or her apartment or till they marry. Some also cohabit, not because of marital relationship, but to assist the other opposite sex who needs accommodation.

The Bible truth is that, cohabitation is a sin wherever you are or whatever reasons you have, because:

IT'S SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Having sex with a partner before a legal and official wedding is a sin of sexual immorality of fornication, and no fornicator is a child of God or will enter heaven. 1 Corinthians 5:11, "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator.....with such an one no not to eat." Fornicators dishonor their bodies.

IT'S DISHONORING GOD'S NAME
"What if we live together and we don't have sex?" Even when there is no sex between both people, though rare, it is dishonoring God's name; they are defiling God's name before people. As children of God, we are not only to live with pure conscience before God, but also before men. "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offense toward God, and toward men." Acts 24:16. When you and an opposite sex are living together, either just for a single night or several days, you are passing wrong message to people and living in conscience full of offense towards people.

IT'S AN ACT OF DISORDER
God is not an Author of confusion, but He is an Author of an orderly marriage, where wedding takes place before marriage; having marriage before wedding is a serious act of disorder of high grade. We cannot disorder God's orderly arranged institution and procedure, and expect God's approval.

SO WHAT IF OUR PARENTS AND PASTORS ARE AWARE AND SUPPORT US? Even if your parents are aware and your pastors support, it does not overrule the truth that premarital sex is a sin. When your parents support your cohabitation, then you are not sinning against your parents, since they support, but you are only sinning against God; and when your pastors support you cohabiting, you are not sinning against your pastors then, but against your own soul. Fornication cannot turn to familiarity because of the support of parents or pastors, it only means the pastors are immoral and the parents are mis-supporting.

AND WHAT IF WE ALREADY HAVE CHILDREN? Having children do not make a marriage, what makes a marriage is a legal wedding between a man and a woman after paying dowry as expected in your community. Having children in cohabitation is simply bringing forth children on spoiled and sinful foundation.

If a man and woman are living together as married without legal wedding or without paying dowry, people may see them as married couple, family and friends may address them as married, but to God, they are sinful partners living together.

There was a story of a woman cohabiting with a man in the Bible, what did Jesus tell her? "Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.” John 4:17, 18. The woman had had 5 husbands recognized by Jesus as "husbands" because they did what it took to be husbands, but the man she was living with at that moment was only recognized by Jesus as "the one", not as husband. No matter how many years you live together, no matter how many kids you have together, you are not recognized by God as husband and wife.

REPENT, RESTITUTE!
If you are living with an opposite sex partner or friend, you need to repent by realizing it to be sin, and asking God to forgive you. Genuine experience of salvation is very important. Then you do the right thing immediately - part away or do the right things. If you already have children and concluded to marry, you may not need to do elaborate wedding, just inform your parents, go to the government to legalize it and pay bride price as demanded by your culture immediately. You should do this without delay or detach from each other until this is done. It is better to separate, surrender your life to Jesus and pray for God's guidance, because the person may not even be God's will for you to marry, since you are now a child of God.

There is eternal condemnation for those who live in cohabitation and die in such condition, and if rapture takes place in such condition, there is no way such people can make the rapture to meet the Lord, because it is living in immorality, and no immoral person will enter heaven or make the rapture.

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."

BUT GOD, WHY?
You are you a child of God, serving Him and doing His will, and you were trusting God for something, you prayed and fasted and you felt confident in the Lord about it as you began to claim it, at the end nothing worked out! You felt, “But God why?”

You wanted to write an exam, you prayed before registering and paying the huge amount, and you felt God was leading you to go ahead, then you did register and prepared day and night, prayed for God’s help for the professional or promotional exam. You were confident in the Lord for the success and looking ahead for the blessings, progress and promotion the success will yield for you, and you were even reciting how you would share the testimony for God’s glory. But alas, the result was a total failure, so painful as you looked back at the wasted effort, money and resources gone just like that? And you heard about unbelievers who made it in the exam, you felt like, “But God why? Why?”

You were considering applying for a job interview, for a contract, visa application, starting a business or marital relationship; you didn’t want to rush into it so you prayed until you had peace concerning it, then you started. Putting every effort, praying and trusting God for the success, you have gone far about it and waiting for turn-around that would change your living status forever, but all these expectations just come to an end within few hours, just like that? It was first like a dream, “No it can’t be, I prayed, I put all my effort, I have spent, even borrowed money for the project, I have informed friends and family about the relationship” And you can’t but help to ask, “God why? I thought You led me to do it, I told people I have prayed and You were leading me into it and so I was sure it would succeed, but why God………..?

Without pretending, something like this happened to me this week, as I was wandering why and why before God, the Spirit of God encouraged me and gave me reasons for the “WHY” and so the Lord instructed me to share my experience and His response to my “WHY” with His other children who are in the same situation at the moment. Since Thursday, I had been delaying the message, but have to wake up early this morning to share this word of Reassurance and Comfort from God with you children of God.

WHEN YOU ARE CONFUSED
You see, this is a critical moment for every child of God when you feel confused about God’s leading, promises or presence, when things are walking contrary even though you are still walking consistently with God, and you wander why? This is the junction where many children of God backslide, lose their steam for God or abandon walking with God or working for God, it is indeed a critical moment in our walk with God. But many also have successfully passed through it and had victory, success and testimonies at last. So if it is your turn or when it gets to you turn, do not feel as if it’s only you. Here is the response I got from God this week:

When you are confused about situations, just commit everything into God’s hand, even if He seems at distance, He is right there with you.

Do not waste your time asking “Why?” but ask for way out or what next.

When it seems there is no way or no help, just wait on the Lord and hold your peace, the Lord will always see you through and make a way.

Do not allow Satan to discourage you to see God as wicked or has abandoned you that would make you to be weak in prayer, in working for God or walking with him. You should know that when someone has a headache, the solution is not to cut off the head, but that is the advice Satan will always give you. When you have little headache of a disappointment which God is actually planning to turn to a big re-appointment, Satan will tell you to cut off your head, to stop praying, to stop walking with God or working for God, is that not a terrible solution of total disaster? Cutting of off your head is not the solution for headache, and so cutting off from God is not the solution for disappointments or problems of life.

THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF DISAPPOINTMENT
You asked why did God allowed this or that to happen, the answer God is giving me about my situation is that He is working everything for my good, turning disappointment to a better re-appointment. Actually I had an appointment for interview this week, and it turned to a total disappointment, but God is telling me He is working to turn the disappointment to a better re-appointment for me, and He orders me to share this message with you.

But you know when you are still in the midst or memory of a fresh disappointment, it may be difficult to understand how on earth the overwhelming failure and disappointment would turn to blessing. That was exactly the case of Naomi in the Bible. Naomi lost her husband and 2 grown up children, and she was like, “God why? After the whole serving you and working for you? After praying, prophesying that they would not die but live? Yet they died. I am left with nothing.” She said to people, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?” Ruth 1:20.

That was how Naomi felt when things were working contrary; she was like, “Why God” But our God is a God who always in the business of turning disappointment to re-appointment and late to latest; within a short time, God turned things for better for Naomi, even her situation became better than how it was before.

At the end, God blessed Naomi more than her beginning that people around testified, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel! 15 And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.” Ruth 4:14, 15.

Naomi lost 2 sons and God gave her a miracle better than 7 sons, which was Ruth. Do you know that we read about Naomi in the Bible from the Book of Ruth? That means without Ruth there wouldn’t have been any record of Naomi and her family in the Bible. It was through Ruth God blessed Naomi and made her name to be remembered forever. There are thousands of women bearing the name “Naomi” today, celebrating her and her name till today. That is the reason for “why” God allow what you past through – to give you a better end!

God does not promise you an expected beginning or an expected journey, but an expected end. So things may not begin as expect or go as expected, but if you serve God and faithfully walk with Him and work for Him, He will give you an expected end!

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11

God bless you!

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

Every worldly music is inspired by Satan to subtly defile and destroy many Christians after their salvation. Any music apart from Christian music is defiling. There is a satanic demon in charge of worldly music; any music which does not glorify God and promote godliness and decency is of the devil. If you claim to be a Christian, regenerated and redeemed, washed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, how will you keep all those worldly music in your phone, computer or in your house?

The hidden truth is that every Christian who plays, sings, listen, like or dance to worldly music is trapped by the demon of worldly music. This is may sound strange, but it's an untold truth, revealed by the Holy Spirit to correct us, and if we take to correction, we will not be condemned with the world. How will you surrender your life to Jesus, serve God with all your life and then allow worldly music to defile you? How will you deny yourself of many things because of your faith in Christ and later go to hell because of worldly music? That is the reason Jesus is saying most believers cannot make rapture if it happens now, few thousands out of million of DEVOTED CHRISTIANS are said to be ready and spotless to make rapture if it happens now. Many of those Christians who will miss rapture may not involve in serious sin or worldliness, but little and hidden defilement which we do not count are serious obstacle.

Here is a TESTIMONY BY A REVELATION
1, "Let me tell you that Michael Jackson is in hell. The Lord showed him to me after Michael died. He let me see Michael Jackson tormented in flames"He let me see Michael Jackson tormented in flames. I cried to Jesus, "Why?" It wasn't easy to see how this man was being tormented and how he would scream. Anyone who listens to Michael Jackson's songs or sings them or who is a fan of Michael Jackson, I warn you that Satan is trapping you in his web so that you will end up in hell. Right now, renounce it in the name of Jesus! Jesus wants to set you free, so that you will not be lost."

2, "Here is a message from another American singer-songwriter, SELENA "Please, I beg you, go tell people about this, please speak out and do not be silent; go and tell them not to come to this place; go and tell them not to listen to my songs, nor sing my songs." She said, "Because every time people sing and listen to my songs, I am tormented even more, the person who does this, who sings and listens to my songs, is walking to this place. Please, go tell them not to come here; go tell them that hell is real!"

- Angelica Zambrano

Again, any music apart from Christian music is worldly music, though some music are secular, neutral and decent, but they are muddled up and so it is better for a child of God to stay with only Christian music. Making such worldly music as your ringing tone or caller tune has automatically enlisted you as member of the kingdom of darkness. You may find it hard to believe. Modern Churches and pastors may not see anything wrong with those musicians and their music, they may even invite them to play in their churches, but only the few will be wise at this end time, but the rest will wake up after the rapture, but too late.

Apart from singing, playing, deliberate listening, dancing to, using for caller tune or ringing tone, many are also entrapped by liking such musicians on Facebook. If you "like" worldly musicians on Facebook, your vote for worldly music has been registered in hell with your name listed as the supporter of evil.

Repentance is the only means of escape. Ask God to forgive you and cleanse you from all the defilement of worldly music; then destroy such CD, VCD, etc which you have, delete them from your phone, and dislike them in your Facebook profile. Delay can be dangerous, so do it now as you surrender all to Jesus.

Are you ready to rededicate your life to Jesus now or start a new life? Then repent! Confess all your sins, forsake them all and ask Jesus to forgive, cleanse you and save you. Please click on this link and read on how to be genuinely saved and start new life in Jesus and pray as directed

DEFILING CLOTHING
"Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel." Zechariah 3:3

Devil has strategized several means to defile Christians and disqualify them from making the rapture and heaven at last, and so many Christians are falling into these traps. One of Satan's traps is defiling dress by many acclaimed Christian women, including ministers.

Defiling Dress:
(1) Uncovered - Any top that shows the trace of your breasts. As a woman, if you wear blouse, shirt, or top, it may be a local made or foreign made, it may be traditional style or Western style; if the dress does not cover your chest properly, that is, cleavage when you bend down, it means you are gorgeously wearing defiling clothing. You don't need to wear a turtledove top, but you must wear clothing that properly and perfectly cover your chest even when you bend down.

Majority of Christian women wear top that stylishly show their breasts, because Satan has successfully polluted fashion world and the minds of the tailors so that about 90% of women's tops are defiled. Today, those dresses do not seem wrong again, because every Christian woman wears it, including pastors wives. But the question you should ask yourself is: why will you wear clothes that stylishly show your breasts as a woman? What is your motive? Showing your private part to the world is not only a sin but a serious defilement. Any top that cannot cover your chest properly if you bend down is a defiled clothes, and those who wear it are defiled, unknowingly.

(2) Tight. Any dress you wear that is tight on you, either top or skirt, which shows the shape of your body is a defiling clothes. Showing the anatomy of your body is a modern way of giving people the idea of your unclothedness, and it is not part of holiness in Christ. Those who wear tight clothing are unwittingly entrapped by Satan. Many will later discover this after they die or after the rapture, but it will be too late. You need not to wear a baggy dress, but it must be free on you without any inconveniences, or conveying your body shape.

(3) Transparent. Wearing a dress that is transparent is not only sinful but naturally stupid. The biblical and philosophic purpose of wearing clothes is to cover unclothedness, so if after you wear clothes, your body is still revealed, it is nothing but spiritual and moral indecency, and defilement to the soul. A Christian woman who wears clothes in a way that her underwear is revealed is not a good example of a godly and chaste woman.

(4) Short. Wearing armless top, mini skirts or gowns which do not properly cover you kneels are defilement to your Spiritual life.

Urgent repentance is very important, and then to do away which such defiled dresses and clothing immediately. You may be a matured, or old Christian woman, you may be a minister or women leader; like Joshua, he was a leader but he unknowingly wearing filthy garment. This ministry has the mandate to reveal the truth as guided through the Word of God and the Spirit of God; it is your responsibility to accept or reject it, but I pray for everyone reading this that the Lord will open your spiritual eyes and give you understanding for the truth and to be fruitful there in.

John 8:32, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

HOW TO EXPERIENCE GENUINE SALVATION & START NEW LIFE IN JESUS!
Dear reader, it’s by God’s mercy to exist to this time, Satan’s plan for us is to die in sin and doom forever in hell fire. Without genuine salvation, there is no way we can escape the judgment of God, so count it as a great privilege to have this opportunity, and so you need to make the best use of it for your salvation and new life in Jesus.

How can you have genuine salvation that will guarantee eternal life with Jesus and grant you the grace to overcome sin, Satan and self? Please follow the following steps:

No Excuse, but admit it.
If truly you need God’s mercy to pardon your sins and give you grace to overcome them, then you need to face it by yourself and acknowledge your sin. Don’t excuse sin because everybody is doing it - in your church (even your pastors, parents or partners), in your family, in your place of work, etc. Don’t says, “Does that means everybody doing it will go to hell fire?” Yes, everybody can go to hell and God will still be righteous. Jesus said instead of you to be thinking how many will be saved, YOU strife to be saved NOW. Don’t excuse sin because of its popularity, it’s in person - you, face it. And sin is sin, either small or great, there is no difference, you just be sincere and confess it.

Psalm 51:3
For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight

Make a Genuine Confession
Do you wonder why you’ve made several confessions of your sins and yet you still have guilt of those sins, you still go back into such sins, and your salvation is not certain or you find yourself going back into your sins? It’s simple: you didn’t make genuine confession. Genuine confession is not just using the name of Jesus, not answering alter call and so on. Take the next 2 steps that lead you to genuine salvation in Jesus Christ:

First Repent before You confess
There are many fake confessions, but if you sincerely want to make acceptable confession, you must first repent. No need for you to confess if there is no repentance in you. Repentance is thoughtful realization of your sins and determination to forsake them. If you confess without readiness to forsake the sins you confess, you are simply wasting your time, and the sins will soon get you down. To repent is not to be sorry for your sins, if you are sorry without readiness to forsake all, you will have a sorry case and that is not a genuine salvation. Humble yourself before God now and surrender all.

Proverbs 28:13 He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

Pray It All
Now all you need to do is to go before in prayer as you confess your sins and ask God to forgive you through His Son Jesus Christ. Tell Him you are sorry for how you have lived and all you have done, ask Him to cleanse you by the Blood of Jesus and give you a new heart and a new spirit. He will do it as He has promised in His Word saying, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:8-9.

Now is the time for your salvation! Do not delay further, do it now, don’t allow Satan to distract or delay you, because another chance may not come. You can pray the prayer for the next 5 to 10 minutes.

Have you prayed the prayer for your salvation? Then let me pray with you:

“Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for our sins, thank You for coming to seek us and counting us worthy to be saved. You promised that if we come to You, You will not cast us away; that if we admit and confess our sins, no mater how many and how terrible, You will forgive and cleanse us. So I pray for this beloved, as s/he has repented, confessed and asked for Your forgiveness, save her/him and give her/him a new nature of Yours to live for You from today. Thank You Lord because You have answered, for we prayed in Jesus name. Amen.”

Now You Are saved!
Now, you are saved, you are born again with a new life by Jesus Christ. You need to start the new life guided by God’s Word. You have to disassociate and detach yourself from old lifestyle; old things that are not according to God’s Word and friendship that can pull you back to old life in sin. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” You can’t continue in your old lifestyle anymore, you are now a genuine, heaven recognized child of God and your life must be guided by His Word. You need to be reading Bible every day and praying about your new life. You should be reading at least 2 chapters of Bible everyday and take time to pray for your spiritual growth and daily strength; you can start from Matthew chapter 1. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding before you read and pray after you finish reading. Pray for God’s grace and Spirit to live daily according to His word and to overcome every temptation on your way, and be watchful every time at every situation in your new life in Jesus!

As you have now started a new life in Christ Jesus, heaven is rejoicing over you as your name is written in the Book of Life. Look only unto Jesus, not any man or any pastor. There are many false teachings everywhere because we are in end time, so let the Bible be your supreme guide!

We will love to hear from you for more counseling that will help your daily Christian life, and to keep you in our prayer for your new life in Jesus. And if you have any question please contact us:

HOW PREACHERS SUCCESSFULLY EXPLOIT PEOPLE

This generation is witnessing highest numbers of multi-billionaires and multi-millionaires among the ministers of God than ever before. Since the beginning of Christianity from Jesus Christ to the Apostles to our contemporary men of God such as John Wesley, Martin Luther, D L Moody, etc. there have never been this type of super-rich, luxurious and extravagant ministers of the gospel as we have now.

How did they get their riches? For example, Nigeria has more rich ministers of God in the world among the top 10 richest ministers, whereas Nigeria has one of the highest numbers of people living below poverty level in the world, and one of corrupt countries in the top 10 most corrupt countries.

From America to Africa to Asia we see super rich ministers, how did they get their riches? Does God send angels to bring cash for them from heaven? NO. Were they such super rich before they started the ministry? NO! They claim they are living above world economy, and that their finance source can never dry. And many wonder, where are they getting their multiple finance that make them super rich, even richer than the people they pastor and even the corrupt politicians? How do they manage to live such luxurious and extravagant lifestyle which our governors can’t afford?

The secret of their riches in the Bible, it is a foretold warning of the secret of these super-rich ministers. Read it in the Book of 2 Peter 2:3, “By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.”

Their Secret
The secret of all our super-rich gospel ministers all over the world is deceptive words – deceiving their followers with deceptive words and their followers in return donate their wealth. They all have the same messages and lifestyles.

How could they successfully gather wealth from several thousands of their followers and become super-rich, are their followers such gullible? NO, their followers are not gullible but covetous. On the part of the rich ministers are deceptive words, according to the Bible, and on the part of the followers is covetousness. The Bible says, by covetousness these so called ministers of God will exploit you. You know what it means? These so called ministers of gospel have deceptive words and their followers have covetous heart, now when deceptive words meets covetous heart, there will always be exploitation. It is a simple chemistry – when deceptive words meet a covetous heart there will be exploitation, and that is exactly what the Bible says. 2 Peter 2:3.

The multi-millionaire preachers in America, in Africa, in Europe, in Asia are successfully exploiting their followers with their deceptive words because those Christian followers have covetous hearts. Here is how it happens:

The super-rich preachers use deceptive words of prophetic declaration of products without productivity, and their followers give them prophetic offering. Now, how can there be products without productivity, simply by raising up your hands or by giving all the money in your account to the prophet? It is because the followers are covetous; they want the products in a cheap way without productivity.

The super-rich preachers preach prosperity of God without purity of life to please God. When the Bible says we should seek first the kingdom of God and its righteous living, the super-rich preachers ignore purity, holiness of life and preach prosperity. The followers follow because they are covetous of a cheap, sweet gospel.

The prosperity preachers preach peace of God without pleasing God. They preach crown without cross, they preach faith without faithfulness, they preach resting in the Lord without restitution, they preach forgiveness of God without forsaking sins, they preach confession without repentance, they preach wonders of God without watchfulness in Him, they preach second touch of God’s supernatural blessing without preaching the second coming of Jesus; they preach open heaven of God’s blessing without the open heaven of God’s judgment.

These super-rich pastors promise heaven abounding for their followers without holiness of life, whereas it is written clearly in the Bible that without holiness no man shall see the Lord, Heb. 12:14, it is because the followers have covetous hearts for sweat free gospel.

They deceive you with deceptive words for your cheap money because you have covetous heart for cheap gospel, for broad road.

I heard someone talking of his bishop, he said in around 1985, God told the bishop in America that, “My son, go to Nigeria and deliver my people from poverty and make them rich.” But 30 years after, the bishop who had little and maybe one or two cars then, now has privates jets and many things, and Nigeria whom he came to deliver from poverty is getting poorer, more unemployment, more poverty, lack of primary healthcare, more crimes, and education is more expensive. Now who has made who rich? Is it the bishop who has made Nigeria rich or covetous followers of Nigerians who have made the bishop rich? The Bible says by covetousness these so called ministers of God will exploit you.

I was in a church some years ago and the pastor announced that their daddy G.O was coming to Abuja for special Holy Ghost service and anyone who wanted to see daddy G.O in a special meeting should collect invitation card of N15000. The same daddy G.O who told his followers that they should redeem their firstborn children with money to avoid firstborn curse. These are the same super-rich ministers who collect first fruit offerings, prophetic offering into their personal accounts. They exploit you with deceptive words because you too have a covetous heart.

The Bible says the judgment of God is coming of all these super-rich, luxurious, prosperity preachers, and motivational speakers. “for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.” 2 Peter 2:3

All the prosperity preachers, super-rich pastors, motivational speakers are working for Satan and the judgment of God is waiting for them, including those who follow them and donate for their false ministries.

“But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime.

They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices,and are accursed children. 15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.” 2 Peter 2:12-15.

Do not be among the deceived; do not wait till after rapture before you realize you are being deceived. Desire genuine salvation and choose the narrow path that leads to heaven.

THE FALLEN ELECTS
(The more you are feeding on the wrong meal, the more you have appetite for it. The same with the prosperity preachers and motivational speakers - they are sweet, cheap poison to your spiritual life.)

When they started in US in late 60s headed by Normal Vincent Peale, many saw them as strange, when it was imported into Nigeria by Idahosa & co in early 80s, many saw them as fake prosperity preachers, but now, many have are falling victim of them, including the careless elects, including the covenant church like RCCG whose foundation was on old time religion, including many brothers and sisters, whose spiritual foundation in their secondary school and college fellowships was laid on holiness and hunger for heavenly things.

But now the careless fallen elect churches, ministers, brothers and sisters have become more worldly than the people of the world.

Can you remember how you started your Christian life far back then? Can you? Do you remember how you started the ministry then? The standard, the humility, the simplicity, the commitment in prayer, personal evangelism and the watchfulness in all things with YOUR PROMISES NEVER TO COMPROMISE THE SAME STANDARD?

Then you saw people who lived the type of life you are living now and the type of ministry you are running now as backsliders and false ministers, you remember?

But now you have fallen victim of the modern gospel, and the worst part is that you are unaware of your falling. You are celebrated, you are celebrating but heaven is weeping over you. You are now rich materially and financially but poor spiritually. You are now populous, popular and even powerful but your old standard of purity has gone.

God is calling you into repentance back to your first love for Him. That standard of holiness and righteousness you believed and preached in 1980s, when you were in school fellowship, that high commitment of prayer and evangelism - that woe is unto you if you don't preach to somebody in a day, that simple lifestyle of dressing, of humility and giving to people around, all these have not changed, God does not change any of standards which you knew far back then, it is you who have changed. But He is calling you back, because we are in the last hour of the end.

Go back to where you started, your first love, your foundation, your Bethel - where God met you and called you, where He was pleased with you and covenanted with you. You are among the false modern, motivational and prosperity preachers, but that was not your calling; you are an elect, but you have now mixed with this modern, falling church as a committed member, worker and even minister, have you forgotten where you came from, you standard and knowledge of God of old? You are an elect, not to perish with these modern end time churches.

Repent, rededicate your self to God and come out from among them, yes, do that NOW!

(I am not saying you should go back to a church, but to your fellowship of old with God.)

GOD IS WAITING FOR YOU WHERE HE STARTED WITH YOU!

Revelation 2:5, "Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.

GOD BLESS YOU!

WAIT ON GOD OR? ...OR GO ASTRAY (A Must Read Please)

Exodus 32:23, "For they said to me, ‘Make us gods that shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’"

When you can no longer wait on God, it means you are set to go astray. In every area of our lives, it’s of necessity to wait on God until He comes to meet us. There is no other alternative for waiting on the Lord except to go astray. The moment you think God is delaying or getting late to answer your prayer, the devil will bring his alternative to lead you astray.

This happened to the children of Israel in the wilderness, when Moses went to the mountain to receive instructions from God for them, when they could no longer wait for Moses, they made an idol for themselves, and they paid dearly for it. It happened to King Saul likewise. When Samuel made an appointment with him, he waited, and waited, “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.” 1 Samuel 13:8.

And so when it seemed Samuel was getting too late to come, at the very last minutes, he went astray, “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.” 1 Samuel 13:9, 10.

He had been waiting for period of time, but at the last minute, he ran out of patient to wait and because of that he lost the kingdom “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.” 1 Samuel 13:13, 14.

When it gets too hard for you to wait on God, it means the time is getting very close for your long awaited blessing to come through, and for God’s visitation; but at that very moment, Satan will put more pressure on you to go astray so as to miss all your multiplied blessings, and then sin against God. At the very point when the long awaited blessing is almost getting to you, Satan will raise people, friends, family and strangers to push you astray; Satan will make situation tougher as if you can no longer bear it. But if you rest on God, if you go back to Him, and tell Him to renew your strength, then He will see you through.

Many people are promised blessings by God, but only few who endured till the end eventually get the blessings. Do you wonder why we hear lots of great promises of God but very few fulfillment, even among the children of God? It is not because God is unfaithful, but it is just because people cannot faithfully wait on God till their change comes. Do you also wonder why only very few people enjoy their marriages? It is because of impatience to wait on God for the right partners from God. Do you wonder why this generation lacks many Isaac and Samuel? It is because our married brethren cannot wait on God to have their children, and so they go astray.

When we are tired or discouraged of waiting on God, and we allow the alternative of Satan to lead us astray, it will only land us in sin and severe lost of God’s blessings, God’s promises, and lost of our soul in eternal doom.

Beloved, what have you been waiting on God for? Are you tired or discouraged or you are considering the sinful and worldly suggestions from people or from your mind? Will you allow Satan to lead you astray after all your waiting? Are you going to become another King Saul of this generation or you are going to wait on God like Job and David? Please, do not allow Satan to discourage you as if God has forgotten you. God is working for your best, and He makes everything beautiful in its time, and you know that God is never late, and His time is the best, yes you know that before, don’t you? Do you know that he that laughs last laughs best? If you wait on God, you will win at last and great will be the celebration of your victory and blessings.

Be strong!

“If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes.” Job 14:14

“Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” Psalm 27:14

“Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.” Psalm 37:7

COMMON CHRISTIANS
"Everybody is doing it, and why not you? Why do you want to be different from all other Christian?" These are some of the questions that will fly in, but your stand should be, "Others may, but I will not" Situations prove our love and commitment to God. Satan may allow you to put several effort in a project, a lot of time in a relationship, and when you are almost through, there will be a sinful demand; at this point, you will either stand for God's word to let everything go or you compromise and let God go out of your life.

Sinful requests or demands come in marital relationship, in business, at workplace, for job application, for contact application, visa application for travelling; to lie, to cheat, to bribe, to change age, to change figure or document, to commit premarital sex, fornication or adultery, to fall short of God's standard. At that point, you will either stand for holiness or compromise your Christian faith.

Many Christians are compromising God's standard when pressures come on them, "For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles." Matthew 13:21. These compromising Christians are the majority in Christianity of today, because of pressure of people, persecution of people, profit from people, pleasure of life, and position. Among these common Christians are pastors, Evangelists, prophets and bishops; they don't see anything wrong in some sinful and worldly activities so as to get along with the world.

COMMON SENSE
Those Christians who compromise God's standard apply their common sense instead of God's word. At the end of your life here on earth, God will not judge you by your common sense or by the reasons of your common pastors or Christians, but by the scriptures which never change. Your common sense cannot walk with God, but only by God's word we can walk with God.

You knew it was a sin, you heard it was a sin and you said it was a sin, but along the way as Satan mounted up pressure within and without, then you began to reason and see nothing wrong in it. You don't want to lose it and start again, you don't want your spouse to reject you, you don't want your parents to abuse you, you don't want to lose your job, certificate, money and the golden opportunity, and so you want to apply common sense and the advice of common Christians and turn yourself to a compromised Christian. If you compromise, you have allowed Satan to prevail over your life.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY WHEN YOU ARE SAVED?
You as an individual person, you consist of spirit, soul and body; your body is your physical entity, your soul is your real person and your spirit is like your conscience, giving you the consciousness of God and His will. When you die, immediately you get out of your dead body– Genesis 35:18, “And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died)” And the body perishes, that is goes back to the earth, the spirit goes back to God and it remains you, that is your soul. You get out of your body when you die and set to face judgment as it has been given to man to die once and after that judgment. Hebrews 9:27.

Every soul in sin is in bondage of Satan and heading to hell, no matter how nice, popular or powerful the person may be; immediately the person dies he reaches and enter inside hell, When the Bible says the soul that sins shall die in Ezekiel 18:4, it is not talking about physical death but second death. Second death is eternal, unending torment in hell fire. Revelation 21:8. “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” When you give your life to Jesus and experience Salvation through Jesus and by Jesus, your soul is set free from the bondage, that is what makes you experience peace unspeakable, and so you are saved from the looming destruction of eternity. Salvation brings restoration of your soul back to original relationship with God which was lost in the Garden of Eden. Psalm 23:3, “He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.”

But then what happens to your body when your soul is saved? The answer is nothing! Your body remains the same as it was before you were saved. You remember your body is a channel by which the devil uses to seduce you to commit sin? ….... the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. James 3:6. The process will still remain the same. Your body is not saved; it is your soul that is saved.

After you are saved in Christ, your unsaved body will want to pull you back into sin, the pleasant and pressure of sin will come on your body. When your spirit and soul want to read Bible, your body will say no; if you are reading just any book or watching football or any sport competition, you may not fall asleep, but when you want to read Bible your body would want to asleep. When your soul desires to pray, your body will say no; if you are paying attention to non-spiritual matters or talking with people, you may not that easily fall asleep, but when you want to pray and talk with God you begin to feel deep sleep. On an ordinary day, you may not feel hungry without eating till afternoon, but when you want to fast, you may start feeling serious hunger since 6am. When your soul want to do God’s will, your very body will oppose. Your saved soul will want to live righteous life but your body will say no.

Your case is not special, it happens to everybody, even to Apostle Paul. “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.” Romans 7:18, 19

As saved children of God, we must not allow our body to overcome our spirit again; we must not allow the pressure and persuasion of the flesh to overcome our souls in Christ. Because a child of God does not obey the flesh any more, no longer walking in the flesh. Romans 8:12, “Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” That is what makes the difference between sinner and saint, when you are saved and before you are saved. Before you were saved, you obeyed the commands of the flesh into sins, but now God forbids.

So what are we going to do with our persistent and stubborn body and addicted sins after we are saved? Things we must do to our body after the salvation of our soul. Let’s see what Jesus said in Matthew 26:41, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

WORD, WATCH AND PRAY!
WORD OF GOD: We grow and get strength to resist and subdue the flesh through God’s Word. God’s Word sanctifies us and strengthens us against sin. “Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11. Daily Bible reading, at least 2 chapters a day, and meditation gives us daily victory over the flesh. “How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.” Psalm 119:9.

WATCH: How do we watch to deal with our body in new life in Jesus? The answer is by discipline and keeping it under God’s spirit. That was what Paul did to his stubborn body. 1 Corinthians 9:27, “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” It involves daily watchfulness over our hearts, thoughts, thinking, tongues, tones, tempers and attitudes; guiding and subduing them with God’s word. It also involve separating yourself from sinful materials, things or people who can connect you back to sin, some friendship you end, some materials you destroy and delete and places you disconnect yourself from if you want to continue in new life with Jesus, if you don’t want to go back to the vomit of sin.

But we can’t do that with or by our own human ability, we can’t change our sinful habits by our own abilities. It takes God’s grace and strength of the Holy Spirit. Not by power, nor by might but by My Spirit says the LORD. Zechariah 4:6. We get that through prayer-

PRAYER: “A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian” To subdue the flesh in out Christian life, we need daily prayer for God’s help and strength. Without daily prayer, we can’t make it. Jesus commanded us to be prayerful so as the overcome the flesh and live righteous life. Matthew 26:41. Fervent prayer to subdue the flesh, to renew our strength and receive God’s grace. At least, a serious minded Christian must take 30mins to pray daily on his or her Christian life and grow from the 30mins.

May the Lord help us to be watchful and prayerful as we continue in our Christian journey to eternal life, no turning back, no looking back, we have decided to follow Jesus to heaven, not to half way in Jesus name.

WHAT IS VAIN REPETITION IN PRAYER?
“And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” Matthew 6:7

Jesus Christ directed us not to involve vain repetitions in our prayers, and so what is vain repetition? Does it mean praying long prayer or saying a word or statement repeatedly? Does it means asking God something more than once in our prayer, even though we have not received it? NO, vain repetition is none of the above. Vain repetition is more serious, subtle, and deceptive.

There is different between “vain repetition” and “repetition”. . Jesus prayed three times at Gethsemane and repeated the same prayer points. Jesus did not say we should not repeat or re-emphasize in our prayers, He did not oppose repetition, but only “vain” repetition. Vain repetition comes in various ways which many of us get involved unknowingly. Jesus said, “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do.” This shows that vain repetitions were originally the act of the heathen, the people who worshiped false gods and the religious people. Here are some vain repetitions:

FAITH IN PRAYER
The heathens’ faith is hinged on their prayer, believing the answers to their prayers are determined by their prayer, "For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” Matthew 6:7. The heathen keep repeating in pain, hoping their gods will consider how they suffer themselves, and answer them.

Let’s see example from the Bible: 1 kings 18:26-28, “So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice; no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made. 27 And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.” 28 So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.” In Christianity, our faith does not depend on our prayer but on the God who answers prayer. Christ did not teach us to put our faith in our prayer, but in God that answers prayer; He said we should even believe God’s answers before praying. So, “It is not by power, neither by might, but by My Spirit” says the Lord.

Using candle, anointing oil, handkerchief or other stuffs to pray is an act of the heathen; the scripture directs us to pray only in the name of Jesus Christ and believe God for answer, simple! Anything apart from that is extra-biblical phenomenon. There is nothing called special prayer, special man of God for speedy answer or special place to pray in the teaching of Jesus Christ; running from mountains to meetings, traveling from far distance to a program for special prayer is an act of the heathen.

We can travel far distance to hear the Word of God that will help our spiritual lives, and we can travel far distance to do the work of God, but not for special prayer or to meet special man of God who will help us pray to God. When you become a child of God, and living your life to please Him, you have access to God through the name of Jesus Christ, without intermediary.

Only the heathen, unbelievers or unserious Christians need somebody to help them present their requests to God. As children of God, we can pray for one another and pray together, but not presenting our prayers to another person to pray to God on our behalf. Giving minister money for prayer, paying money or making vow before prayer is unscriptural.

PRAYER WITHOUT FAITH
This is common in the lives of many Christians today, we pray as routine, just to pray because we are Christians, without faith in God for the prayer, without expectation for the prayer. Prayer without faith is in vain. We pray because we serve God that answers prayer, who delights in our prayer. Prayer is an exciting activity because God listens and answers, but when prayer becomes boring to you, it means you do not have faith that God listens or will answer your prayer.

The fact that God delays to answer your demands does not means He is denying you or He does not delight in you; God is only doing great things on your behalf that will daze many who will later hear your testimony. If you have the knowledge that whenever you pray, heaven stands still, that God is waiting for the sweet smelling of your prayer, you will look forward to praying, and not look warm in prayer. Jesus did not ask us to pray for the sake of praying as a Christian routine, but He asks us to pray so that we can receive. John 16:24, “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”

Praying without expectation is a vain repetition; until you are expectant, you have asked nothing.

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.
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. 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.”

Prayer should be made continuously without ceasing. In any particular request, we should keep asking, reminding God until our joy is full - that is faith repetition not vain repetition. Keep the Word of God in total obedience, keep the faith, and keep praying until your joy is full.

John 14:13-16: And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. 15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.

CAN WE BE SINCERE HERE?
If our pastors say they don't have to be accountable to the church on how they spend our tithes and offerings, and at the same time we want our politicians to be accountable to the country how they spend our tax and other resources, are we not being hypocritical?

If you see it wrong that your state's Governor is flying with his private jet which he got through gifts from people or through our tax money, and you don't see it wrong if your Daddy GO or papa is flying with private jet which he gets through gifts, or church's tithes and offering, then are you not being hyper hypocritical?

If your pastors cannot faithfully use your tithes based on the instructions of the Bible for sharing and distributing as it is written in Deuteronomy 14, Acts 4, 5; then how do you expect your political leaders to faithfully use your tax based on the constitution of the nation?

Are you not going extreme by abusing your political leaders and defending your pastors who commit the same error?

NORMAN VINCENT PEALE:
In early 1950s, Norman Vincent came with doctrines of modern church concept believed the sermons and messages in the church should no longer be for conversion and godly sorrow, but for motivating and uplifting people, that church should not scare people away with the true message of repentant, salvation, sanctification and second coming of Jesus, but we talk about abundant blessings, prosperity, healing and earthly success. That the the preachers should not mention hell or hell fire, it should be forbidden, and rapture should be forgotten; that the church should not say what the people need but what they want to hear, what would make them happily scream and shout in the church. His system implied that church services should be of more dancing and entertaining rather than having solemn assembly.

Around 1958, Peale was joined with Robert Harold Schuller, the author of “Though time never last.” Robert Harold Schuller improved on Peale modern church concept, he was the originator of mega church concept. Then many other ministers joined the system including Oral Robert, Billy Graham and many others. Their teachings focus on earthly blessing, breakthrough, success and prosperity; their method is permitted with unguided liberty and indulgences. This strange doctrine began to spread all over the world and right to Africa in late 1980s. It was first called modern Pentecostal system; some denominations call it modern parish or modern church (RCCG). We can call it mega church concept in American, we can call it modern pentecostal system or modern church parish, but the truth is that the system is the same and satanic to pervert the church. Some ministers claimed God gave them the system, some said God directed them to start the modern church. But the Bible warns us in Galatians 1:8, 9, "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed."

Today, the church is having lesser persecution, great population and greater perversion; we are having more churches (denominations), more than ever before but lesser righteousness and godliness. Our society and countries are having more Christianity but less nature of Christ, lesser sincere and decent society. We are building mighty and beautiful Church auditoriums more than any period in the history of the church, but we have become more worldly than the people of the world. Our Pastors are luxurious than the politicians, devoted muslims are more sincere than ordained ministers, our sisters can confidently wear indecent dresses to church which they were ashamed to wear to night parties 15 years ago. Today, the church is more financially and materially richer than any time of the history, but we are poorer and starving spiritually.

Our Pastors are living in luxury, our Bishops and General Overseers are flying with private jets, living in mansions, gorgeously and sumptuously than the rich man with Lazarus. Sincerity, honesty and purity are diminishing while number of churches are increasing. In the past our pastors were content with basic necessities, but today, our senior pastors, G.Os and Bishops are getting richer and richer while the poor in the church are getting poorer .Capitalism and selfishness is now the order of the church; materialism and egoism are the system of our pastors. No more sharing or equity, everybody is on his own .The charity group of the world are more caring than the church, church primary and high schools are so expensive that a full time pastor from the same church can't afford to send his children except he steals from church money. Church universities are more expensive than individual private universities who borrowed money from bank. Our members are being heavily taxed in the name of giving, offering, automatic blessing of giving, worst than the civil society. That is the result of satanic perversion in the church, the modern prosperity system.

WHY SO MUCH DIFFERENCE?
In the Book of Acts chapter 5, it was recorded of Apostle how through the Holy Spirit he discerned secret sins in the lives of those couple Ananias and Sapphira.....

But today, why is it that our daddy GO, papa, prophets, apostles and pastors can discern latest upcoming miracles, breakthrough, success; they can declare the new cars, house, jobs and robust contacts coming on the ways of people, but the can not discern the sin and openly rebuke like the apostles?

Even when there are immoralities, politics, lies even more than that of Ananias and Sapphira yet their spiritual eyes are blind to detest sin but only miracles, miracles and breakthrough. It's because they spiritually blind to heavenly vision and they are physically open to earthly things.

And if you are following such ministers, truly they foresee your new car, they will declare your new house in the latest estate, they will prophesy your new breakthrough and open doors, but they will not see heaven for you because they don't care for you to get there; they will not prepare you for rapture, because it's none of their business, they will not preach restitution, godly dress, godliness and contentment, because you don't need those things to make it in life.

Can you remember?
In years back, can you remember when a child of God would invite unbelievers or sinners to a church's program and they would, sometimes, reject the invitation, why? Because then when the pastor would start preaching, he would, by the inspiration of Holy Spirit, preach against many sinful things about the life of the sinners who come for the first time, that some of them would even challenge the person that invited them to the church's program, "Why did you tell your pastor about my secret and personal life" And the Christian brother or sister would reply, "Oh no, I didn't tell my pastor anything about you" But the unbeliever would not believe, he would say, "Then how did your pastor know and said so much about my secrets and sinful life?"

The pastors then, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit revealed and rebuked sin just as Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 14:24, 25, which led to repentance of many souls. But today's pastors only reveal the upcoming miracles and breakthrough coming on the ways of the unbelievers who come to church for the first time, this leads to spiritual rebellion that makes them comfortable in sin but continue coming to their church.

The wolf pastors feeding the goat members!

Now here is the wisdom behind every message from every preacher:

(1) What your pastor preaches much or often to you is what he care about for you. If your pastor's messages are more on earthly blessings, prosperity and breakthrough, it is because he only care for you to make it on earth and miss it in heaven.

If a preacher tells you more about heaven, rapture, holiness, restitution and godliness, it is because he cares for you to make heaven as God will add the additional of earthly things to you along the way of righteousness.

2, If your pastor warns you about the dangers of poverty, that poverty is a curse, it is because he wants you to be rich by all means as long you are paying your offerings, tithes and first-fruits.

If your pastor preaches more about the danger of hell fire or missing rapture, it's not because he wants to scare you, it is because he doesn't want you to go to hell or miss rapture.

By their message, you will know their priority!

If you don't want to be lost forever with this lost generation, seek for the old original path of holiness and walk in it even if you are the only one in the right path.

THE BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN!
We will make it there by God's grace!

This is the story from 7 Columbian Youths whom God showed little part of this indescribable beautiful heaven!

We began to appreciate everything in Heaven. We saw a huge tree, the Bible describes this tree as the "Tree of Life." (Revelation 2:7) We went to a river, and saw a lot of fish inside. Everything was so amazing that my friends and I decided to go inside the water. We began to swim under that water. We saw the fish moving around and they caressed our bodies. They didn't swim away as normally happens on Earth; the presence of the Lord calmed the fish. The fish could trust us because they knew that we were not going to harm them. I was so blessed and marveled that I grabbed one of the fish and took it out of the water. What was so amazing was that the fish was very quiet enjoying the presence of the Lord even in my hands. I put the fish back into the water.

I could see in the distance that there were white horses in Heaven, as it is written in the word of God in Revelation 19:11. "Then I saw heaven open and a white horse appeared. Its rider is called Faithful and True; justly He Judges and wages war." Those horses were the ones that the Lord will use when He comes to the Earth to take His people, His church. I walked to the horses and began to pat them. The Lord followed me and allowed me to ride one of them.

When I started to ride, I felt something that I had never felt before on Earth. I began to experience the peace, the freedom, the love, the holiness that a person can have in that beautiful place. I started to enjoy everything that my eyes could see. I just wanted to enjoy everything in that beautiful paradise that the Lord has prepared for us.

We also could see the wedding banquet table, everything was already served. It had no beginning or end. We saw the chairs prepared for us. There was also crowns of eternal life that are ready to be taken by us. We saw delicious foods that are already set, for all of those that will be invited to the Wedding of the Lamb.

The Lord Jesus also allowed us to meet a person from the Bible. We met King David, the King David mentioned in the scriptures. He was a good looking man, tall and his face reflected the Glory of God. The whole time we were in the Kingdom of Heaven, the only thing that King David did was dance, dance, dance and give all the glory and the honor to God.

To those who are reading this testimony, I want to tell you that in the Word of God is says in Revelations 21:27 "But nothing unclean nor anyone practicing immorality and falsehood shall ever enter it, but only those whose names have been recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life." And I also want to tell you that only the brave ones take hold of the Kingdom of Heaven.

YOU CAN CHOSE TO MAKE IT TO HEAVEN
What will make you qualify for heaven is genuine salvation and living a life of holiness and righteousness. If you have not experienced genuine salvation, you need to go to Jesus for it without further delay, because such delay is destructive. What you need to do is to repent - realize your sins and ready to forsake them, confess your sins and ask Jesus to forgive and cleanse you.

When you are saved, you start a new life in Jesus that lives above sin. The only evidence of genuine salvation is victorious life over sin. If you have been rising and falling in sin after your salvation, if you see persistent sin in your life, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus now. Know for sure that no unclean things shall enter heaven and little unclean or common sin is eligible to land a Christian in hell even after experience of salvation.

After you have repented of you sins, don't allow those little, common, sins to land you in hell. Little compromise, unforgiving spirit, unsettled restitution, secret sins, worldly dress, makeup, inordinate ambition, anger, envy, bitterness, etc, these are leading many Christians to hell but we must not be part of the misleading majority. You don't need to wait till you miss rapture or land in hell before you realize those little and common sins matter. Rededicate your life to Jesus now as it is applicable, surrender all to Jesus and get the grace and strength to start a victorious holy and godly life. Christian life is a personal race, don't base it on the standard of your pastor, church but on the Word of God.

YOU NEED TO DETERMINE TO MAKE HEAVEN, READY TO DO ANYTHING FOR IT, READY TO GIVE UP ANYTHING FOR IT, NO MATTER WHAT. IT WORTH MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS TEMPORAL WORLD!

May we be among the blessed ones for the beautiful heaven in Jesus name!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWER ON ANOINTING OIL, HANDKERCHIEF, ETC.

QUESTION:
Pls what are your views on the following:
1. Anointing Oil
2. Handkerchief/mantle
3. Miracle Water
4. Holy Communion
5. Feet Washing.
Thanks
ANSWER:
Glad to hear from you ma,

ANOITING OIL
Anointing oil is for prayer for the sick as the Lord leads, James 5:14, but it is wrong to use is every time you want to pray. It is unbiblical how people are using anointing oil today, as if it is a must to have it at home every time. Better still, we can do without it, the Blood of Jesus is more than enough for you. Do not waste your money or effort with the misinterpreted usage of anointing oil of today.

HANDKERCHIEF/MANTLE AND MIRACLE WATER
It is personal. God used Paul's handkerchief to perform miracles, He used Elijah's mantle, and He can choose to use your head-tie today, but those churches that have made handkerchief, water or mantle another means of prayer are misled or false ministers and churches. Bible says we should pray in the name of Jesus Christ not with handkerchiefs or mantles. It is God that chooses any item to use for His glory, and it is wrong for us to decide to begin to use an item because God used it with somebody in the past. God can choose to use your Pen, Belt, hat, shoe, etc.to perform miracles today. Those churches that are accustomed to anointing oil, water, Handkerchiefs, Mantle, Candle, etc. are misled churches who also use them as a means of making money from people; they call some amount of money for special prayer, special anointing, special handkerchief or special water. They make merchandise of people, but when you know the truth, it will set you free from error.

HOLY COMMUNION: A MUST AND FOR WHAT?
For What Purpose?
Holy Communion is a command of Jesus Christ to all believers, meaning every Bible believing church must observe Holy Communion as much as possible. But what is the Bible purpose of Holy Communion? It is not a means of getting a quick miracle or healing, the primary purpose of Holy Communion is to examine our Christian life and rededicate ourselves to God afresh. 1 Corinthians 11:26, 28, " For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes....But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup."

So the purpose of Holy Communion is to have special opportunity for self-examination and to make necessary correction and rededicating our lives to Jesus Christ. When you examine yourself and found wanting in one or two areas of your spiritual, you can repent and confess your sins immediately and still partake in the Holy Communion.

Holy Communion is for only genuine children of God to partake, it is not the unbiblical type of Holy Communion many churches are taking today which include children, sinners and others who are doing it for special blessing or another spiritual ritual for their own condemnation at the end.

At What Age?
Does the Bible mention any specific age for participation? No, but it says, "But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup." So, one has to reach the age where one will be capable of self-examination, not parental examination.

Additional Blessings.
The additional blessings of total obedience in Holy Communion are healing and others, but not the primary purpose. If you find yourself in a church where Holy Communion is abused or misinterpreted for miracles or healing, you will do yourself more well by avoiding to partake with them, so that you don't share with their common error of communion.

FEET WASHING
Feet Washing was an illustration Jesus Christ did to His disciples to pass a message of servant hood and humility, "So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet." John 13:12-14. But He never commanded His disciples to keep doing the feet washing. There is no other spiritual meaning or implication of Feet Washing than the message of humility and serving others as leaders and as brethren; and so using feet washing as another special prayer or program is a gross heresy.

You see how these misled, false and fallen ministers in the church today are turning significant matters of great spiritual values to secular or miracles means, they have turned themselves to sorcerers and soothsayers.
It is not wrong for a church to do Feet Washing if the purpose is to remind one another of the humility and self-sacrifice of Christianity and to endeavor to put it into action, not just acting it as drama or another means of miracle. A church where they wash feet and the senior pastor is using private jet while many members are jobless, where G.O is living in a mansion while many members can't afford to pay their due rents, then same pastor doing feet washing is acting drama and he is deceptive.

GOD BLESS YOU!

COMING AND ABIDING
John 8:31, “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.”

Jesus Christ preached the Gospel to the people in the Temple one day, the Pharisees and Scribes opposed Him, but some few people, including Jews, believed in Jesus and came to Him. Jesus made them to know that their confession and coming to Him is not a complete and total work of their salvation, He said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed” John 8:31.

When you hear the Word of God, when somebody asks you to give your life to Jesus, maybe on personal bases or in a gathering; when you decide to surrender your life to Jesus after you hear or read God’s Word, when you answer the call for salvation, and you repent, confess your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord; that is the beginning of your relationship with Jesus, it is not the end. Your repentance, confession and coming to Christ are an integral part of your salvation, what would seal your salvation in Christ indeed is abiding in the Word of God.

Being born again is not just cash and claim stuff as the modern preachers and churches are misleading many souls to hell. To be saved means you come to Jesus, repent and confess your sins and then continue to abide in Jesus in newness of life. To abide in the Word of God is to abandon your old, formal sinful lifestyle and start a new life in Jesus, it involves reading, meditating and applying the Word of God into your life on a daily and continuous bases.

If you just confess and continue the ways and manners you live before, if you just confess, pray and continue in your old lifestyle, you have made yourself to be a psychedelic Christian, one of these unrecognized Christians to heaven.

Salvation is not just confessing, it’s not coming out for altar call, but it’s confessing and coming out of your sinful life. Jesus knew anybody could be emotional to come and confess their sins, anybody could raise up his hands for salvation call, but that would not guarantee their entrance to heaven. He said what perfects our salvation, what confirms a man or woman to be a real born again is more than temporal confession, it is continuous abiding in the Word of God.

Our modern day preachers, pastors and Bishop may tell you, “You just say this prayer of salvation after me, then you are saved and you can start to enjoy the prosperity and blessing of God, you just believe and that is all” that is the reason these half-made born again cannot overcome sins, that is the reason you see a lot of funny things happening today among the ministers and members, you see these so-called born again living below sins and you wonder why everybody claims to be born again but no difference. That is the reason you may be wondering in your personal life, after you are declared born again, your life remains as the same as old; because you were half-done.

If your Christian life is based on faith of confessing without work of continuing to live in accordance to God’s Word, you are a half-done Christian and that is of no use. Faith of coming to Jesus and confessing is the first step to Jesus, but forsaking your sins and abiding in Jesus completes it, abiding to the end.
Jesus says, “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed.” John 8:31. You need to abandon your old life before you can abide in the Word of God; you need to abandon the World of sin before you can abide in the Word of God. For you to go far with God you must go far from the world. You must disassociate yourself from old lifestyle, old associations; you must detach yourself from anything of old that may pull you back to your vomit, the sinful relationship, ungodly friends, worldly music, worldly movies, worldly dressing, worldly materials, all must be taken away from you if you really want to abide in God’s Word, if you really want to be God’s disciple indeed.

Until you surrender all these to God and let go, you will always find yourself going up and down in your spiritual life, confessing sin and committing sin, becoming saint and behaving sinner. You need to surrender all, everything to God. You can do that now, just go back to Jesus, tell Him you are ready to surrender everything without reservation and you want to abide in Him. This is called rededication and consecration with determination of heart. From then, you will be going forward and never backward. You can do that and the Lord will help you.

Please note that after you rededicate your life to Jesus afresh now, you need to be reading Bible every day, at least two chapters, you can start from Matthew. You meditate and pray for God’s grace to abide, obey His Word. You must abide in daily Bible reading and pray, that is what will help you to abide in God forever.

REPAIRING THE ALTAR OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE
1 Kings 18:30, “Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.”So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.”

Before you can experience the manifestation of God in your life, and before there can be fire of revival in your life, ministry and church, there is need to repair the altar of God in your life. The altar of God in our lives is the level of our commitment, consecration and separation unto God – the center of our attention and priorities. We need to totally reconsecrate, recommit ourselves to God in repentance from all sins and to holiness; we need to separate ourselves from ungodliness, worldliness, compromise and care of this world.

To repair the altar, the first thing to do is REPENTANCE. 2 Chronicles7:14, “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” The second thing is SEPARATION. We must separate ourselves from sin, worldly attachments and the cares of this world.

1 Samuel 7:3, 4,“Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you return to the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.” The third thing to do is CONSECRATION, to seek the Lord His word and prayer. Acts 6:4, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” Then the fire will fall into our lives, our family, and ministries and in the church.

To keep the fire burning, there is need for COMMITMENT. We must commit ourselves into pleasing God, into holiness and righteousness. We must commit ourselves in LOVE for one another. Selfishness, self-centeredness, is cold water that quenches fire of God in lives and ministries. When the love of brethren waxes cold, the fire of revival is put out; disunity quenches the spirit and quickens self.

One of the major reasons there is no revival and fire of God in many lives, many ministries and churches, even after they have consecrated themselves unto God, and separated themselves from sins; the reason is lack of love – selfishness. The fire of God can never fall or burn on the altar void of love. Love keeps the altar dry for fire to burn, without love for one another and sharing with one another, one cannot experience fire of revival no matter how prayerful or pure one is. Songs of Solomon 8:7.

In the Acts of Apostles, the church experienced continuous great revival because of great love among them. Love does not come by just preaching love but by practicing love. Without practical love there can NEVER be the move of God’s power in a family or church, let them pray and fast for 120 days. The early church experienced mighty power of God in their services and fellowship not by long fasting but by love, sharing accomplished with holiness.

Acts 4:33-37“And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. 36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.”

Many Christians want the fire of God in their lives, many ministers greatly desire power of God to manifest in their ministrations and every church long for fire of revival, they take more time to pray and pray and fast for it; some go to mountain, long days of fasting,different prayers and program for revival, but why are they not seeing their signs? It is because of selfishness and self-centeredness. If you are really ready for the fire of revival in your life, you will not allow the things of this world to attract you, will not be running after latest cars, phones and other stuffs; you will not be absorbed with earthly projects of buying or building houses that you will not be able to bountifully share with your brethren, family and friends.

The people in the Acts of Apostles sold their houses and land and shared, but you are busy with how to buy and build and you want to experience the same fire of God? It does not work that way.

Churches who claim holiness without love and sharing among themselves will never experience fire of revival in their midst.1 John 4:7, “ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God;and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.” As a child of God, when you freely share with all, you will definitely experience the fire of revival in your life, family and ministry.

FIRE OF REVIVAL, SHOWERS OF RAIN
When there is revival in the land, in our lives, abundant of rain ensued. Shower of rains of salvation, many people turning to Christ,and lives being transformed for Christ. Shower of rains of healing,deliverance and all blessings in our lives and in our land. 1 Kings18:41, 45, “Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink; for thereis the sound of abundance of rain.” “Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.”

CONCLUSION
Repentance from every sin, separation from every worldly attachment, commitment to watchfulness, holiness, truth, righteousness, love and consistent prayer keep the fire of revival burning in us, in our families and in our ministries.

We need the fire of God for us to be fervent for God, and for the works of Satan to be consumed in our midst and through our ministrations. 1 Kings 18:38, “Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.”

PRAYER
Our heavenly Father, we come before you again, we humble ourselves before You. We ask you to forgive us all our sins as we repent, we ask You to cleanse us with the precious Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ. And we ask You to send Your fire of revival upon us to consume every work of Satan in our lives and quicken us in Your work. Revive us again and cause us to rejoice in You forever. We ask in Jesus Christ name. Amen
