NEVER GIVE IN!
I Corinthians 9:27, "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection"

After you are saved, even for many years, Satan will still bring sinful thoughts, feelings, ideas, and pressure; your unsaved body will want to over ride the Spirit of God. The addicted sin to smoke, drink, masturbate, etc; the pressure for sinful pleasures will come back in an overwhelming manner; the tendency to get angry, lie, drink, fight, or to do other sinful stuffs will come back; the people for sinful activities will still come back to you. Sometime the pressure will be so heavy as if you can't survive it. Satan will say, "Look, don't pretend, this thing is part of you and your salvation in Jesus can't stop it. You can't stop doing this thing, even if you don't do it now, what about tomorrow, next week, and next month? Just give in and God will understand."

My beloved in Christ, that is the deception of pit of hell to make you feel helpless as if you can't overcome sin. When next the pressure to commit sin comes again, you know what to do? DON'T GIVE IN! The pressure and the feeling will not last, it will vanish. And you know what? Every victory over a temptation to sin gives you strength to overcome the next one, and you become stronger, but every falling into temptation makes you weaker to overcome another one. Solution is not to surrender to such sinful pressure once or again, the solution is to hold it, never give in.

Paul the Apostle, after many years of his salvation, said, "I discipline my body and bring it into subjection" It is a continuous thing as Satan continuously brings temptations. Salvation does not automatically end the notion and tendency of sin, it only gives grace and strength to overcome. And we can only get the grace and strength by daily Bible reading, prayer for God's grace and daily watchfulness to walk in the Spirit. Genuine Salvation is the foundation to overcome sin and Satan, DAILY grace of God through prayer and Bible is the strength, and watchfulness, self control that is self discipline to refuse, reject and deny are the solution!

Titus 2:11, 12
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.
May The Grace of God be abundant upon us in Jesus name.

WHY YOU NEED TO START BUSINESS NOW!
- Christian Business Talk With Gideon Akande

As I talk on why you need to start business now, I also need to call our attentions to wrong times so many Christian start business, that is the reason so many Christians fail in business, and many got discouraged as if business is not meant for them. When we start business at the wrong time even with a right business, it will give a wrong result which is usually folding up of the business.

Wrong Time Many Christians Start Business:
1. When We retire from work.
Business is a world of itself that needs practical years of experience. Many people who start business after retirement usually get their invested wasted and the business not successful. What really matters in business is not only money, but also practical experience. So many people spend 30 years working only to build houses, and after they retire, they settle down to collect house rents which will never be enough to sustain them. That is the reason many retiree landlords and landlady are strict in collecting house rent because they have no other means of surviving.

When you are still working, yes in some workplaces you may not be allowed to register company and begin to run business, but you can build it on or with your spouse and family.

Some of the major businesses working class people can build are like long time farming – Palm kernel, Cocoa, etc., private school with a spouse, online marketing, etc.

2, When We Lose Their Jobs.
Many Christians start business after losing their jobs which will lead to unpreparedness, personal and family financial burden on the young business which could overweigh the new business. The best time to start business is when you still have a job doing. You don’t save money and start something when you lose job, it doesn’t always work like that.

3, When We Have Need
We don’t start business to meet immediate needs, we start business to grow the business. If the purpose of starting a business is to raise money to meet a need next month, then the business will soon die.

Sometime this year I met the former MD of Fedex in Nigeria who won the best MD in Fedex sub-Saharan African nations, and now a MD of another major courier company in Nigeria; he told me that courier business is not for traders, meaning people who do buying and selling; he said a person needs about 3 years to run courier company before profit will start coming. He said traders can’t be such patient.

It’s better to start business, grow business into profits before needs come. It is better to start business while you are still a student, it is better to start business while you are still single, it is better to start business while you are still young couple, when you are not yet paying huge school fees for children, when you still have strength to run around.

4, When We Start Business With Loan.
There is nothing as dangerous in business as starting a new business with bank loan, it is absolutely a wrong start. The truth is that, there is a wide difference between a business on paper and a business on practical. No matter how lucrative a business plan or proposal seems, it is still a paper work not practical work. There are so many unforeseen problems in practical business than the profit on papers.

5, When We Start Business With huge Amount of Money.
Many people claim, “Bro, I have a lots of lucrative business ideas but I only need good amount of money to kick start.” The truth here is that if you can’t successfully start a business with little you have, your android phone, your little space and others, starting with a large sum of money will only bring large sum of problem. As children of God, we don’t start business with big money but with a big God. If God will not bless the business with small amount of money, He will not bless it with big amount, or rather, if you can’t manage to succeed with small amount of money, you can’t also succeed with big amount of money.

The best time to start business is when you have little and work it grow. We don’t watch business growing, we work it growing by God’s help.

6, When We Start In A Big Way
I travelled to Ibadan, I saw new shopping plazas with expensive rents, and so many people rushing to rent the shops at such high cost of rents; some of those people renting the expensive shops are just starting the business, some have no idea about the challenges of the business. And at the end of the year they cannot make enough profit to renew the rent. Beloved, why starting big? Big office, big shop, full AC, and employing workers the business does not need now. Who are you trying to impress? Why getting accountant for a small scale business when you have not even started counting rhe money? So what is the Accountant going to be doing?

As children of God, we do business to improve our finances, and not to impress people on social media or in the society. Reality checks.

7, When We Wait To Finish School Before Starting Business.
One of the major mistakes many young Christians usually make is waiting to graduate from school before starting something and parents also help in the problem. If Mark Zuckerberg had waited to finish school before starting Facebook, it wouldn't have happened.

Some parents will wait until their children graduate before asking what they want to do with their lives, before thinking of establishing something for them. You are a student of a school, you have free access to the students and lecturers and others, make use of it before you sign out, win the campus for Christ and also build your business. This is the best time to start business, to gain experience, to try, to fail and succeed before you get to the real world of business.

To The Full Time Ministers of God
I know a beloved Evangelist who also pastors a church, he used to have problem feeding his family. But when we had minister’s seminars, I challenged everyone to start something small along with our ministries to raise income for our families. This Evangelist was challenged, he later started something with his car, though no capital, he was collecting bottled waters from company and supplying shops. He gradually became popular, receiving calls to supply water, gaining experiences, business connections, customer database – all these are more important than capital. Now, the business is growing up gradually and his ministry is moving forward along.

Ministers of gospel can start something with their spouses that will support their family and help the work of God also. Asking for general public financial donations after ministration on radio, Youtube, etc., is not honorable to the work of God.

Let's think about this brethren!

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” Philippians 4:8

Amen!

Be blessed

JUNETEETH (June 19th)
On June 19, 1865, tagged as Juneteenth by Black Americans then, the enslaved men and women in Texas finally learned that they were free — more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in rebelling states. The Black slaves remained in bondage by their slave masters for more than 2 years after their emancipation Proclamation.

Do you know same thing is happening to many people today? After Jesus saved and set you free from sin, the slave master devil will want to keep you in perpetual bondage of some sins called addicted sins, and deceiving many that you can't be free from addicted sins just like that, and that you must remain enslaved or you will need special deliverance apart from the work of salvation. You know what? Jesus has paid for all and He has set us free from every sin, either addicted sins or general sins, we are free completely and we must not be slave of any sin. Do not remain under the bondage of masturbation, drug, lying or any form of sin after you are saved. Jesus has set us free indeed!

Secondly, do you know that some people say after they are saved in Christ and become a new creature in Christ, that Jesus only set them free from sins but not from principalities, powers of darkness, handwritten generational curse or evil forces of their families. They said after their salvation in Christ, they are still slaves of evil forces, though they are now seated with Christ in heavenly places but witches and wizards can still sit on their destinies, and there is need for additional declaration of freedom through special deliverance work maybe on mountain or somewhere apart from the declaration of their salvation.

They ignorantly say, "Your salvation in Christ has nothing to do with generational curses, and witches do not care if you are seated with Christ in heavenly, they can still climb on Jesus and come and meet you beside Jesus and sit on your destiny" They say, "Even if your life is hided in Christ when you become saved, hmmm, witches and wizards are very bad oh, they will break into Jesus' stomach, take your life and destroy it. That is the reason you need continuous special deliverance, prayers of witches fall and die even after you are genuinely saved."

Such people are Juneteenth Christians, they are ignorant of the complete work of freedom, total emancipation by Christ on the cross, they are being fed by doctrines of demons that makes no difference between the saved and unsaved, between saints in Christ and sinners in the world.

When you are genuinely saved in Christ, He sets you free from all sins, addicted sins, from all principalities, powers, curses, evil handwritten, evil forces of witches and wizards; Here is what Bible says about me and you before and after we are saved:

“And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians 2:13-15.

YOUR QUESTION?
But why are some Children of God who are serving God in holiness and yet the enemies are troubling their lives?

JESUS’ ANSWER
I was in the boat with My disciples, yet the devil came to trouble it on the sea to the extent that it almost sinks and they were crying in fear. I asked them, “Where is your faith?” So the fact that I’m in the boat of your life, marriage, health, ministry or business does not mean devil will not want to trouble you, but you must command by faith, not cry in fear. When you command in faith, he will flee away but when you begin to cry in fear he will force his will on your life. Where is your faith in Me? Command in My Name!

THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS
LUKE 16:25, "But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented."

At the end, the rich man found himself in Hell and Lazarus the poor man, found himself in paradise. What a two different eternal destinies!
Father Abraham said about the rich man, that he had received his “good things” while on earth and Lazarus, his evil things while on earth. The question is, “Was is because of the riches this rich man had were the good things that made him to go to hell?” Does it mean riches makes one goes to hell fire? Because the rich man went to hell, does that means every rich man and woman are going to end up in hell fire? And also, "Can we say the poverty of Lazarus were the evil things that earned him paradise?" Does that mean every poor Christian who suffers on earth will automatically go to heaven? The answer to both is NO!

The rich man didn’t go to hell just because he was a rich man, in fact Abraham was a rich man also, and Abraham is in paradise. So riches itself is not a certificate to hell except one get it in a wrong way or one allows the riches to make one behave wrongly. On the other hand, Lazarus didn’t go to paradise simply because he was poor; there are many poor sinners in hell. Being poor is not a certificate to heaven and poverty is not always synonymous to holiness. There Are many sinful poor people and there are many rich godly people.

But then, Abraham said the rich man was in hell because in his lifetime, he received his “good things”. He also said that Lazarus is in paradise because in his lifetime, he received his “evil things”. Both men received their own things in their lifetime, and afterlife, they were rewarded accordingly. We can see that it is what both of them did while living that determined where they went to when they died. Eternity is determined while on earth not after death. There is no prayer you can pray after you die that will change your eternal destination and there is no amount of prayer people pray for you that will change your destiny after death.

THE GOOD THINGS
It's not wrong for us to have good things on earth, because good things are good as long it is godly. But the “good things” the rich man received while on earth that made him to go to hell were the gain of unrighteousness which made him rich, and also “evil things” Lazarus received were the persecutions and forbearance for righteousness and for the sake of righteousness.

It’s possible for you to be rich through unrighteous means and enjoy your life till you die, as many are forgoing or forgetting righteousness for the sake of riches today. But what will it profit a man if he gains the world and loses his soul? The riches, wealth, opportunities, jobs, contracts, allowances, money, properties, certificates, visas, business connections, positions, votes, positions, profits that you gain through unrighteous means (lying, falsification, malpractices, stealing, bribing, cheating, etc ) are the good things which you received in your lifetime that will qualify you for eternal destruction, to hell at the end of your lifetime on earth.

Any good thing you get through sinful and ungodly means will make you groan in eternity like the rich man. You may gain riches through sinful means, you may gain population in your ministry through prosperity preaching and compromising systems, you may gain power through satanic way and you are enjoying yourself now. The good things which you gained through unrighteous means and made you rich in your lifetime will create your eternal doom and suffering after your lifetime is expired on earth.

You can gain a lot of riches and many good things on earth by ungodly and unrighteous ways and have wonderful time in life, and enjoy yourself to the full, but at the expense of your soul and eternity. Good things like good position, promotion, political power, nice house, beautiful car, easy life and luxurious life; you get what you want, you eat what you want, you drive the car you like, and you travel all over the world. Is that not good and splendid? The Bible said the rich man "was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day." What a splendid and sweet life! He was wearing the best designers, and lived the best quality life of his generation. He did a lot of good things to his life and body, but not to his soul. Like this rich man, those who get good things without being godly, will regret at the end.

THE EVIL THINGS
It’s possible to be poor because of righteousness till the person gets to heaven. Lazarus was a child of God and he served God wholeheartedly, but he was poor. What it means is that, it better to remain righteous, uncompromising in Jesus and be poor than to compromise and gain wealth through lying and ungodly means. Everybody may be doing that to get job or wealth, because everybody wants to be rich, but only few will stand for righteousness than unrighteous riches. Proverbs 19:22, ".....And a poor man is better than a liar."

Does that means Lazarus didn’t know his right in the Lord as many prosperity preachers claim that it is the right of every child of God to be rich? Some preachers even go to the extent of preaching that if you are a poor Christian, you are under curse. But if you check most of their rich members, they are more like this rich man in the Bible. The modern Christianity gospel preaches that it is a must to be rich, but in the Christianity of the Bible, riches are good but not a must, there are only two things Jesus made as under a must for every heavenly minded Christian, and they are holiness and evangelism. Holiness is under a must if you want to see God at the end, because without holiness no man shall see God; and evangelism is a must, in fact Paul said woe is unto him if he failed to preach the Gospel to others.

Can we also say Lazarus was a lazy man as a result of his poverty? NO! Lazarus was not poor because he was lazy but he preferred to remain poor than to compromise holiness; he chose to be poor than to change figure, he accepted to be poor than to bribe for contracts or any good thing of this life. You can mock Lazarus for being poor, you can mock him for being a poor Christian, but it is a matter of time because this present life is a matter of time.

You claim to be Christian, and you say poverty is not your portion, you have made hell fire you portion already. You lie and you claim poverty is not your portion? Hell is your portion, you bribe, you collect bribes at work, you change figures, you collect salary of work you are not doing, you inflate prices at work, you commit fornication, adultery, masturbation, pornography, you are a trouble maker at home, yet you shout “poverty is no my portion, I want to go to heaven like rich Abraham, not like poor Lazarus” you know what? The devil is preparing a special bedroom for you in hell, except you repent.

THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM
In Christianity today, we claim the blessing of Abraham as a reason for every child of God to be rich, that is great, but the blessings of Abraham is more than the passing riches of this world, Abraham's blessing was much more than financial blessing and material stuff. Lazarus was a son of Abraham, in fact, when he died, he was right at the bosom of Abraham, yet he was poor on earth. That means Abraham blessings are not physical, they are spiritual blessings - justification in Jesus Christ. God can choose to make any of His children financially rich and He may also choose not.

It’s not a must for the child of God to be rich financially and materially, but it’s a must to be rich towards God. Jesus never promised financial prosperity to His followers, since no place in the Gospel books or throughout the teachings and episodes of the Apostles, and in the book of Revelation that financial or material prosperity was promised to those who follow and serve Christ. Jesus never said, “If you follow me you will be rich and gain the whole world” It is only one person that promises riches if you follow him, and that is the devil. The devil promises fame, riches and earthly power if you follow him so you can lose your soul for eternity in hell. He uses the temporal things of this world to deceive eternal souls.

It’s not a sin for a child of God to be rich, but it’s not a must, as many prosperity, penterascal preachers are claiming. Financial riches and wealth is so minor and additional that a genuine child of God and minister of God will not focus his ministry on it. The priority of a serious minded Christian is to live according to God's word and fulfill God's will on earth.

The temporal "good things" are not as important as the eternal good things. If you allow the good things of this world to distract you from serving God, if you allow the good things of this world to take away your salvation and integrity in Christ, you are making yourself another "rich man" of this generation who had his "good things" and ended up in the hell of eternal torment.

Do not give what you need forever for what you need for few days. Surrender all to Jesus and serve Him with whatever you have, no matter what!

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. Then it will be well with your soul.

God bless you

RAPTURE BEFORE GREAT TRIBULATION: MATTHEW 24:29 EXPLAINED
Many people are somehow confused if great tribulation will first take place before rapture, the major question they asked me when I preached rapture would precede great tribulation is, “What about Matthew 24:29, can you explain it?”
And I better explain it now and clear!

Let’s read it from the Bible:
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Matthew 24:29

Now, let’s look at some Bible verses before it and then some Bible verses after it, so we can have a better understanding, ok?

Firstly let me clarify that, there TWO types of Tribulations: one is general tribulation, and another is great tribulation. General tribulation is a persecution as a result of our faith in Christ, which every child of God must pass through. In verse 9, ““Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.” This is one of the signs before rapture. Jesus gave about 5 signs of end time before the rapture:

False teaching and false prophets. Matthew 24:4,5,11
Global crisis - war, pestilence, and global warming. Matthew 24:6-8
Tribulation and persecution of the saints. Matthew 24:9,10,11
Lawlessness and love of many waxing cold in Christianity. Matthew 24:12
Global preaching of Gospel. Matthew 24:13

Now, I want you to understand that pre-rapture general tribulation for saints is different from great tribulation after rapture. The one before rapture is called persecution of saints; the one after rapture is great persecution from Satan on the left-behind saints and wrath of God on left-behind sinners who worship the beast. READ IT YOURSELF,

“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.” Matthew 24:9.

“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. “ Matthew 24:21

Between verses 15 to 20 rapture takes place that causes uproar and running helter skater, then in verse 21, great tribulation begins.

THE CONFUSION
Why many Christians are mistaken that great tribulation will happen after rapture is because they read great tribulation and also see Jesus coming from the sky again, so they assume that is rapture, but no. Jesus will appear in the sky twice, the first time is rapture, the taking away of the children of God worldwide, only the believers will see and hear Him and His angels then. After rapture, there will be 30 months great tribulation for the Christians who refuse to take the mark of the beast (666), and immediately after the great tribulation, Jesus will appear again, and at this time all eyes will see Him.

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Matthew 24:29,30.

Two things I want you to take good note of here:
God’s wrath “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken” God turning the world He created upside down because of the evil of the men. This is not Satan’s wrath, it is God Himself who has the power to do that.

Now look at the verse 30, “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH will mourn, and THEY WILL SEE the Son of Man coming on the clouds” Is it possible for the whole earth to see Jesus at the rapture? Does this Bible verse sounds like rapture? NO! So this is the appearance of Jesus Christ after great tribulation, it is not rapture but second coming of Jesus.

WHY SECOND COMING?
Why will Jesus Christ coming second time after the rapture? It is for two reasons:

1, To gather the tribulation saints – Christians who miss the rapture and refuse the take the mark of the beast and suffer great persecution and punishment. After a period of time, about 3 and half years, Jesus will come to take away those great tribulation saints also in the cloud, “And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” That was the reason Jesus said the days will be shortened so that the tribulation saints can survive it.

Yes, so many people would be saved after the rapture; they will come out of great tribulation. They are those who miss the rapture. Let’s read it:

“After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands…. Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Revelation 7:9,13,14.

MANY CHRISTIANS WHO MISS RAPTURE WILL ENDURE GREAT TRIBULATION, HOLD ON TO THEIR FAITH AND COME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION, but it does not implies that all Christians will go through great tribulation, only those who miss the rapture and refuse to give up their faith in the face of great tribulation. I hope you understand this?

2, Now the second reason Jesus will appear in the sky after the rapture is to punish the evil world who refuse to repent, who worship the beast and bow to it. Let’s read:

“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war…. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” Revelation 19:11,15.

I believe the Lord will give you understanding of His word. It is a great error to believe great tribulation will first take place before rapture, it is spirit of heresy from Satan to confuse, mislead and deceive Christians; that is the reason I took time by the help of Holy Spirit to explain to you from the scriptures that what children of God are waiting for now is rapture of the saints.

God bless you

NO CONDEMNATION, NO CONTINUITY!
"When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” John 8:10,11

The simple definition of Christianity is, no condemnation and no continuity. God does not condemn you no matter what you have done or what you are doing, but when you come to Jesus, you should not continue in the sinful life. Coming to Jesus and continuing in sin is a fake and satanic form of Christianity with no eternal life. A person who claims to be a Christian and still continues in sin is condemned already.

It is only prosperity gospel, penterascal gospel or American gospel that preaches no condemnation without no continuty in sin, but not the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Bible says, "Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?" You know the Bible answer? "Certainly not!" Do you know what that means? It means you cannot continue in sin and remain uncondemned, and remain justified and you cannot be justified by the precious blood of Jesus and continue in sin, certainly not! Grace is freedom from God's condemnation, and grace of God does not condone sin.

When we receive the grace of God, it helps us to deny sin and all ungodliness. Titus 2:11,12. Preaching the message of "No condemnation in Christ" without completing it with "No continuity in sin" is a half truth and destructive type of gospel of this modern age.

You cannot be justified in Christ and continue in sin. Now you can come to Jesus, confess your sins, and forsake them by the grace of God. The grace comes by daily Bible reading, prayer and watchfulness.

HOLY COMMUNION: A MUST AND FOR WHAT?
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 our selves 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 blessing 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 good by avoiding to partake with them, so that you don't share with their common error of communion.

God bless you

LETTER FROM HEAVEN FROM ABORTED BABY……Please u have to read this!

Mommy,
I am in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus' lap. He loves me and cries with me; for my heart has been broken. I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence, because my existence started from conception when I was formed in your womb. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping.

Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much.

One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you, maybe you didn’t expect me, but God sent me to you as a special gift, I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy. That same day, the most horrible thing happened.

A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me.

The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore.

Then the monster started ripping my arm off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off.

Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy and also chase wrong men away from you and let only the right man stays in your life, that man would love you and accept me with you. Above all, I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking.

No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand.

And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead. I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone.

The angel took me to Jesus and set me on His lap. He said He loved me, and He was my Father.

Then I was happy. I asked Him what the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion. I am sorry, my child; for I know how it feels."

I didn't know what abortion was; I guess that's the name of the monster, Jesus told me so; He said you sent it to me. I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful.

It sucked my arm and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die. Now in heaven I was told your hands and records are tarnished with blood, innocent blood of your own baby girl.

Also, mommy, please allow the innocent BLOOD of Jesus to watch you from this blemish, and watch out for that abortion monster, don’t use it to destroy God’s gift in your womb again, don’t allow this to be on your records again, so that I can see you in heaven here with Jesus. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful. When you get to heaven, you will know my name.

Love,

Your Baby Girl

The greatest murder in life is murdering an innocent man, and no one on earth is as innocent as unborn baby. So killing, aborting or evacuating such innocent human being is the worst crime.

When you think you have unwanted pregnancy, think about Mary, the mother of Jesus. She had the worst unwanted pregnancy in the history of the world. Being a virgin, she was pregnant, yes from Holy Spirit, but how many people would understand at initial to alleviate the shame? How many people will she tell that, “Hey, I am not a bad girl, I’m still a virgin, what you see is from the Holy Spirit” And how many people would even believe her? Since such had never happened in history before her case, that a virgin got pregnant and still a virgin, but your case is not as strange or funny as her case. But then her shame turned to glory later. So you may have shame now, but if you trust God, endure and accept the pregnancy as Gift of God, not as a product of your mistake; the shame will later be turned to glory as it happened to Mary.

If you have committed abortion before, if you have suggested abortion before, if you have abetted abortion before, if you have carried out abortion before as a medical person, you are all in the same page before God. You must repent now, surrender all to Jesus and allow His precious Blood to speak a better thing to your life than the innocent blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:24. Then, you must confess to the necessary people for you to confirm your forgiveness. Do not deceive yourself by saying you have confessed to God, you must also confess to one another James 5:16: Maybe your parents, your pastors, or your partners.

If you did it in past and you are still single, confess to your partner before you marry, so that your confession can be sincere. Open up your sins before it will open you up at last. And decide never to commit such great crime again in your life; you may not have second change. You are blessed!

Psalm 127:
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

SALVATION
You need to surrender your life to Jesus now and experience genuine salvation without any further delay so that you will not be among the miserable that will miss the rapture. There is no need to deceive your self or delay your genuine salvation that gives power over sin.

MEGA CHURCH SYSTEM IS SATANIC
Mega Church Is Anti-Gospel

Do you know that Mega Church system is satanic? Because anything that is anti-gospel is from Satan. Mega church system is a system where a single church is gathering thousands of members together from far and near in every Sunday service. Jesus did not start this system; it was originated by Satan through his agents.

THE ORIGIN OF MEGA CHURCH SYSTEM – When, How And By Who?
Mega church system started around the late 1950s and early 1960’s in the United States by Norman Vincent Peale (who wrote the Power of Positive Thinking), Robert Schuller, (who wrote Though Time Never Last) and other derailed ministers. It was called Mega Church Concept then, a special design of the devil to work against the gospel of Jesus Christ and to pollute the church of God.

Christianity and churches had been running for several years since the Acts of Apostles and there was nothing like the Mega church concept until the 1950s in America. The devil brought about this concept into the minds of those pastors to create egoism, competitions, pride, pollution, building personal empire in the name of church and to directly work against the Great Commission of Jesus Christ that says GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, but they are gathering thousands of members together in a single place like Nimrod who built Babel. If you look at the Bible, Apostles never gathered crowds of members in one place every Sunday service. This demonic thing only started in America in the 1950s and gradually gained popularity, even to Africa. When did the mega churches system start in your country? Who started the mega churches in your country? They are more of prosperity, penterascal preachers, they are useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. And What does the Bible say we should do with them? “From such withdraw yourself.” 1 Timothy 6:5.

MOTIVE BEHIND MEGA CHURCH CONCEPT
There is no single biblical reason for gathering thousands of people in a single church building every Sunday or holding several “fast food” 2 hour services in a single Sunday at a church. What was the motive of those who started the mega church in the 1950s? What were their lifestyles? Ego, competitions, love of money and distraction of Satan.

HIGHLIGHTS
All mega church pastors are either false or backslidden, even from Robert Schuller.
Mega church concept is anti-gospel, nothing like that in the Bible or with our godly fathers of faith.
All mega churches are business enterprises by the founders. Mega churches are actually mega businesses; they are always run like one-man business.
All mega churches are corrupt and backslidden churches, including the first mega church, the glass church in the US.

It is not possible for a godly and uncompromised pastor to run or have a mega church because it is Satan that is behind the mega church concept.

If you are a pastor running a mega church, check your life, your heart, when did you backslide? What are you pursuing? What are your motives? Where are you going after your life here? Today is the day of your salvation. You need to repent and pull down the Babel you are building in the name of church; the empire you are building for yourself in the name of church. You need to trace your way back to Calvary before it is too late.

If you are attending a mega church, you are in the wrong place, you are in mega deception, you are wasting your time, car’s fuel, transport money for nothing.

Mega church concept is a mega deception of the devil from the pit of hell, mega church building project is a mega distraction, all these are not part of the gospel of Jesus Christ, they are distraction and deception from the devil.

Let’s go back to the Bible system, the old time Bible concept where we fellowship with one another in simplicity, in a small church as a family, where the pastor knows his members personally and cares for one another in love.

BUILDING PROJECTS – OUR GREAT COMMISSION FROM THE DEVIL

THE CHURCH
The devil has given the church another great commission in this end time, both old time believing churches and the modern mega church are so busy carrying out the great commission as if it is the only work of God left for us to do this time. God gave the church the great commission of evangelism – preaching the gospel to sinners and establishing the believers, we are to channel all our resources to this course, but the case is the otherwise when churches including evangelical outreach ministries are busy building ultra-modern multi-million or multi-billion auditorium.

When these building projects started more than 20 years ago in many churches, Christians were happy that they were making progress. I remember anout 21 years ago, in the year 2001 when I was in a church – Deeper Life Bible Church, when one ICC projects started, we were happy that our church was moving forward physically, but you know the terrific funny thing about building projects in the church today? It never ends, it will always goes from one building projects to another, from local building project, to regional, to state, to national, to new projects to another, you know? Distraction of Satan never ends except you determine to end it.

Incessant building project is a manipulation of the devil against the church in this end time.

Any denominational church that spends more on building projects than for the work of evangelism is a distracted church. Any church that spends more on building projects than building people into the kingdom of God, supporting believers to grow by providing free Christian materials, free Bible to those who can’t afford it, supporting missionaries and their mission works, providing free education, primary healthcare for the needy believers, but rather jumping from one building project to another, you don’t need to speak in tongues before you know that such a church is under the influence of satanic distraction. All we need do is to look into the Bible.

Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus Christ spent no time on building project and He never prepared us for such. The apostles had about 3000 new converts added to the church like every day so they were not in a small numbers; they never carried out a single building project but they had several projects even with committees – they had daily distribution project, they had missionary projects, they had sharing to the needy project, they had daily evangelism projects – these were the projects the early church spent the offerings and church money for, not the multi-billion building projects of today’s church. Do you think the early church had no money to build a magnificent church auditorium in Jerusalem? They had, because people were donating generously to the Apostles. Imagine disciples selling their lands and houses and giving it to the Apostles, how many people do they need to sell their lands to raise enough money? They did not need so many. They had the money, but they were sharing the money for the needs of e every member on daily distribution, they were using the money to build people not houses. Acts 2:44-47.

Do you know there was no single building project in Christianity, among the early church for about 300 years until inception of Catholic Church by Roman Empire when they brought different Babylonian idolatry systems and ideas into Christianity?

When we are wasting millions of dollars to build church auditorium as if this world is our permanent residency and we ignore spreading the church to villages, distributing free Christian materials to support them, meeting the needs of our members, then we are distracted from the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In 1998, as a young believer, I had great passion for evangelism, my church then – Deeper Life Bible Church, had to sell tracts to do evangelism for their members, even the tracts were not available in the local church to buy, I would need to go far to church secretariat, sometimes trekking half way, just to buy church tracts for personal evangelism. The end time church of today sells almost every to their members – the Sunday booklet, tracts, church tapes, hymn books at profit making margin, and the major focus of the church today is building projects. We need to repent and go back to the old path before we can experience revival in our church.

AND AS AN INDIVIDUAL
As a Christian, if you spend more on earthly things than the work of evangelism, things like your personal building project, buying latest phone, electronics, sending your kids to expensive schools, buying expensive cars, then you need not to look far, your treasures are saved in this perishing world, and where you treasure is saved is where your heart is, it means you are a worldly minded Christian, who is not fitted for heaven.

If you, as a born again Christian, spend your money more on earthly stuffs than spending on personal evangelism, printing tracts, distributing Bible to people, buying and distributing Christian movies to people, giving financial supports to people in your family, church and generally, then you are also among the worldly Christians of this end time.

Spending for the work of God is more important than any projects in your life or family. The work of God here is not contributing to building project in your church or sowing seed, the work of God is your personal evangelism, distributing Christian materials and supporting the needy financially. Without these works in your life, you are either a worldly Christian, whose mind is on this passing world or you are an empty Christian who is set to meet His Lord empty handed on the last day.

Where more of your money goes is where your heart is, either earthly stuffs or heavenly things. Being a heavenly minded Christian is not just by preaching or professing, it is also by spending. When your personal building project, business project, academic project – professional programs, further academic program, fancy project such as buying new car, latest phone, electronics, among others takes priority of your life, it means your mind is set on the things of this world, not on heaven.

CALL TO REPENTANCE
Either as a church or individual, we are called to repent from the care and focus of this world and be heavenly focused. We must do the work of God now when it is day because night is coming when we cannot work.

Matthew 6:20, 21, “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

DELIVERANCE BY HOLINESS
“But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance.” Obadiah 1:17

Some years ago, I received a text message on my phone, it reads,

“Sir, I need deliverance from ogboni cult group. Our leader is a spirit being that has power to command anything; he can appear and reappear anywhere. He lives in the air, many pastors are members too and top politicians in this country. I want to leave them but am afraid because of the covenant and oath I took with them”

I later called him, and let him know that there was no prayer or deliverance program that could deliver him except salvation in Jesus Christ, that genuine salvation in Jesus Christ would not only deliver him from evil group but deliver his soul from eternal judgment. I also told him that this salvation is not a shortcut for relief temporal attack, but a total surrender to the lordship of Jesus Christ – meaning that he should make a decision for genuine salvation in Jesus Christ that will transform him entirely, not just a means to be free from evil group. He was ready to surrender his life to Jesus Christ, I told him to forget the issue of the evil group and focus on his relationship with Jesus and his eternal life in Him. He prayed and surrendered his life to Jesus Christ.

After praying with him and leading him to Jesus Christ, he asked, “what about the cult group, the covenant, the demonic leader?” I told him not to be concerned about that, but to focus on his personal relationship with Jesus, reading his Bible, studying it, and making amendment of his life, that it is not his responsibility to be concerned about the evil forces, God would take care of that, but his concern is to start a new life of holiness and righteousness. At initial he was so afraid to talk with me on phone, saying the group was monitoring him, but I made him to understand that Jesus was with him to save him more than the demons that would destroy him.

Since then we have been talking on phone, his spiritual life has been going forward, he started doing the necessary restitutions, confessing to his wife all his unfaithfulness, and all others. The last time he called me, he has been doing fine in the Lord, I asked him about the demonic evil group, and he said he never heard from them again. God has been wonderful!

PERMANENT DELIVERNACE
If you found yourself in cultic or any evil group, they may tell you there is no way out! Yes, there is no way out except Jesus Christ, He is the only Way, Truth and Life. What you need is simple – Genuine salvation in Jesus Christ. You must genuinely repent from all your sins, confess and forsake them and start a wonderful new life in Jesus Christ. You don’t need a pastor or bishop before you do that, you can do that right away and Jesus will set you from, not only from that evil group but from all your sins and eternal sorrow.

PERSISTENT BONDAGE
Many people are suffering from bondage and attacks of enemies, they are looking for deliverance, and many churches and pastors and misleading them with all sorts of “enemies fall down and die”, fasting and prayers, anointing program, deliverance services, and etc. while those people continue in sins and worldliness. What type of deliverance are you looking for while you are still under the bondage of sin? The all-round deliverance you need is salvation in Jesus Christ. I am not talking about answering altar call, but genuine salvation that starts a new life in Jesus Christ.

Many people do not understand the meaning or magnitude of this salvation in Jesus. When you are genuinely saved, He delivers you from sins and every form of bondage of Satan and enemies, physically and spiritually, sickness, past covenants and commitment, and you become a new creature in Him, He begins to fight your battle for you; your only fight is the good fight of faith. No genuine child of God is bound to remain in bondage of attack, curse, evil covenants, and hereditary curse or evil, because everything has becomes new in Christ, and greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4.

BUT WHY?
But why do we see many children of God being attacked by evil forces, suffering from hereditary curses? The answer is simple – it’s according to their faith. Many are ignorance of the victory in Jesus Christ, they live in perpetual bondage even in the freedom in Christ. Many churches are misleading people that salvation in Jesus Christ cannot totally set them free every bondage. It will only be according to your faith – what you believe is what becomes of you.

When the boat of the disciples was sinking in the lake, they were so afraid and troubled, then they cried to Jesus for help, but Jesus did not say the situation was normal, but he asked them, “Where is your faith” Luke 8:25. So, it is possible for Jesus to be present in the boat of your life and still sink, simply because you’ve lost your faith. It is better you get your lost faith in Him before you get lost forever.

Faith in Jesus Christ means being victorious in Christ over Satan, principalities, powers, evil people, program, and plans of enemies. You see, Satan will not first attach a child of God except he first attacks his faith in Christ. When your faith in Christ is not victorious over all, then you will be defeated at some point. If you or your pastor makes you believe that generational curse can still have power over your life after you are saved, so it will. If you believe enemies can attack you, so it will be. That is the reason you see the set of Christians who pray problematic prayer never stop praying such prayer, because they are never free. It will simply be according to your faith.

I heard a story about a pastor; a young girl who was possessed of evil power walked to him and asked him, “Sir is there anybody that evil power cannot overcome?” The pastor said no, that anybody could be attacked and overcome by evil power. The pastor was attacked and killed that same night, because he confessed it by himself.

Deliverance does not come by all these problematic enemy fall down and die, special deliverance program, prayer city Mountain and marathon prayer, but total deliverance comes by genuine salvation in Jesus Christ.

NOTE: Many Christians also remain under bondage of enemies because of unsettled restitution, while they are busy praying and fasting for deliverance. Unsettled restitution exposes believers to old curses, covenants, attacks and persistent bondage of the devil and loss of heaven at the end.

CONCLUSION
If you are in any evil cult or covenant, the only way out is salvation in Jesus Christ through repentance, and that you can do now! If you are suffering from any attacks of the devil or if you want to live a victorious life in Jesus and live in eternal blessing with Him, surrender all to Him, start a new life in Him, settle every restitution, serve the Lord and stand firm in faith!

God bless you!

Gideon Akande, the Evangelist.

WHEN THE CHRISTIAN RACE GETS TOUGHER
Sometimes the Christian race gets so tough that we could barely feel the power of God and hardly see the possibility of God’s promises. When flesh becomes so tough to subdue, when Satan becomes more roaring to resist, when walking with God becomes so tedious and tiring, when working for God becomes so difficult and waiting on the Lord becomes so annoying like wasting time and when heaven becomes so far away, do you know what we are to do? It is not to pull over or pull back or look back, we are to do what Jesus Christ did. In Hebrews 12:2, the Word of God admonished us to “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" meaning we are to look unto Jesus and do as He did when things were tough for Him during His earthly ministry, we should look to the secret of His success during His earthly ministry when things got so hard and tough, here it is in that same Hebrews 12:2, “who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Jesus Christ looked beyond the cross, and He saw the joy, of salvation of many souls, the rewards, and glory, so He was encouraged to endure the cross and despise the present, passing shame of the cross. And so we are to follow His steps, we are to look ahead of the present situations. Look ahead for the eternal joy that is set before you in heaven, of the rewards in heaven and eternal blessing of being in the present of God for ever and ever and ever. And why should we not endure the temporal cross and difficulties, why are we not going to despise the passing shame of the world? By God's grace we will!

Are we going to fall back from the race to heaven because of the present pressure of sin and persecution of Satan? Are we going to forfeit the mansions, crowns of glory and eternal joy of heaven? Are we going to forsake our precious salvation and covenant of total faithfulness to God because of these temporal, screen-saver earthly gains? Are we going to miss the glorious heaven and mess up in the gloomy hell forever? NO! God forbid! By His grace, in this Christian race, we will not pull over, we will not pull back, we will not fall, we will not faint and we will not falter. When flesh becomes so tough to subdue, we will plunge into unlimited God’s grace and put the flesh to death. When Satan becomes more roaring, we will resist him by faith in Christ, not by our power. When walking with God becomes so tiring, He will renew our strength to fly. When working for God becomes so difficult, we are going to look unto Jesus Christ, we are going to wait on Him and He shall take us to His Father’s house of many mansions, and there we shall be with Him and reign with Him forever and ever. Amen!

Satan is a bad god but God is a good God, Satan is a liar and way of death but Jesus Christ is a Way of Truth and Life. And so we are not going to join the stupid generation who choose death instead of life, who choose sin instead of salvation, but we are not going to turn back like many others. By daily prayer, daily Bible reading, daily watchfulness and daily grace of God, we are making it, I am making it and you are making it to heaven.

You know what the Bible says in the same Hebrews 12:22, “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. Amen!

It also says, “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.

Amen!

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

ARCHBISHOP IDAHOSA
This man was one of the people who brought prosperity gospel to Nigeria around 1980s, another gospel different from the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are two painful things the devil successfully used this man to do in Christianity in Nigeria:

1, he helped to destroy the heavenly mission and messages of several ordained ministers of God. People like Pastor Adeboye, Bishop Oyedepo, Bishop Francis Wale Oke, etc. had personal relationship with Bishop Idahosa and their ministries never remained the same in the right path again. If you knew the above mentioned ministers in their campuses or early ministries, they had heavenly conscious mission and they were holiness preachers, but some of them got the shipwreck of their faith and ministries when they came across Bishop Idahosa.

2, this man turned Christianity upside down. I heard someone quoted Bishop Idahosa that he met Church in Nigeria in poverty when he came back to Nigeria, but turned things around. Yes, he was right. When Idahosa came with gospel of prosperity, most churches in Nigeria were financially poor but spiritually rich; then the church had few cars among the members but you don’t need to speak in tongues before you know a child of God in deed. Before the arrival of prosperity gospel in Nigeria, companies were writing letters to church to employ their members because of faithfulness and diligence among the church. But today if a church member manage to get job offer and asked to bring letter of guarantor from his pastor, the pastor will be afraid to guarantee his church members because of various disappointments. As the pastor is looking for means to defraud his members so also the members towards the pastor, it’s who succeed first.

This is the type of Christianity prosperity gospel has brought to us.

And you as a person, what name should I call you? You know all the evils, immoralities, politics and games of powers and positions that are going on in your prosperity modern church among the pastors, workers and members that sometimes you wonder if that church even deserve to be called a church of God or if the pastors deserve to be called men of God. But you will come on social media to defend what is not defendable and condemn those who speak the truth to deliver the captives from the deception of these modern preachers.

For how long will you continue to deceive yourself and to defend this faulty gospel of modern church and these misleading preachers, until you get to hell fire?

Others may be deceived but you can choose not to be; others may continue in this faulty, fake and frivolous modern gospel of prosperity and unguided freedom, but you should be wise and beware!

Let’s repent and return to the old time faith of our founding fathers of faith, of holiness with godliness before the Master returns.

Jeremiah 6:16, “Thus says the LORD: “Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

FALSE TEACHING ON RICHES AND PROSPERITY

"THAT IF YOU ARE FINANCIALLY RICH, YOU WILL SERVE GOD BETTER."
This is a grand unbiblical, false teaching of demons in this end time. If you want to serve Jesus Christ well and make heaven, you will listen to what He Himself says about riches and wealth, not what the agents of Satan are saying in the name of pastor, bishop, evangelist or daddy G.O. Jesus Christ taught about riches and wealthy so clear that no serious minded Christian should be misled. Sometimes I wonder how popular and acceptable the doctrines of demons on riches and prosperity is among today’s Christians as if Jesus never taught about it, why can’t we follow the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ on this topic instead of being deceived and carried away by the teachings of Satan through his agents?

Jesus Christ says if you are rich, it becomes more difficult for you to make heaven. Matthew 19:23, “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.” This Bible verse is a direct statement from Jesus Christ, which the prosperity preachers will never talk about, they will even wish to remove it from the Bible. What it means is that the more you are financially rich, the more it becomes hard for you to make heaven, the more you need extra grace, watchfulness and purity. But on the contrary, the teachings of Satan through his enormous agents – prosperity preachers – says that if you are financially rich, it so easy for you to make heaven. Have you not heard such thing before and believed it? That if you are financially prosperous and rich, you will be able to serve God very well. than ever before. You will never find such in the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ or His apostles or even among our contemporary fathers of faith, but only among the agents of Satan who call themselves prosperity preachers, motivational speakers, senior pastors, daddy G.O of Satan, bishops of demons and evangelists of hell.

The teaching that more riches makes easier for a Christian to serve God is on the contrary to the teaching of Jesus Christ and from the pit of hell. And many are being deceived today, that is the reason many Christians are looking for riches by all means because they believe it will help them to serve God better. The only thing that makes it easy to serve God is grace, not financial riches or prosperity.

The teachings of demons exalts prosperity more than purity, and that you can see in many churches’ preaching, prayer points, and among their preachers books and CDs, they preach and pray on financial riches and prosperity as if that is the purpose of Jesus Christ dying on the cross.

You know what the Bible says about any preacher or pastor that preaches or prays on riches than righteousness or on prosperity than purity, such person is useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself. – 1 Timothy 6:5

Bible does not say you should continue to attend a church where financial riches is exalted than righteousness, where prosperity is preached often more than purity of life, and it does not says you should keep reading books, watching program or listen to CDs of such preachers, you know what the Bible says? It says withdraw yourself from such. 1 Timothy 6:5.

When you attend a church where 6 out of 10 prayer points center on financial breakthrough and open doors of earthly blessings, where 6 out of 10 consecutive preaching and messages are about prosperity, favour, grace, glory of financial or material blessings and earthly stuffs, then you are in a mortuary, not a sanctuary. The Bible warns you to withdraw from such before you also become a living death Christian. 1 Timothy 6:5.

And you as a Christian, if 6 out 10 f your prayer points, center on riches of life, prosperity or problems of life, then you have become a spiritual member of Laodicea church. If your personal pursuits, program or plans are all about living a comfortable or prosperous life, to possess more of things of this life, to be popular, to have more money or to get the latest of materials in this passing world, then you are a living dead. You need to rededicate your life to Jesus afresh lest you perish with this world

The Bible says in the end-time many will be deceived by the doctrines of prosperity and riches, many churches that started well will end up at the feet of Satan. And are there not many who are falling apart? Are there not many Christians who are following the doctrines of Balaam? Are there not many who will miss heaven? But you must strive to make it to heaven in this perilous time.

It is all about priority! When we get our priority right to make first thing first, to seek the kingdom of God and its righteous living first, to pray and preach first on the kingdom of God, to live first for the kingdom of God, to work first for the kingdom of God in evangelism and good deed of sharing and supporting others with our riches, then prosperity from God in our lives will not become problem to our spiritual lives.

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

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

In the city of Ephesus, after the people received the gospel of Jesus Christ into their lives, many of them who had been practicing magic, gathered everything together and burned them.
Satanic Magic, Sinful Materials, Worldly Music & Movies and sinful connections must be destroyed.

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

Because you cannot serve God and devil together, you can not be a genuine child of God and still agree with ritual mark on your body; you cannot be a genuine child of God and still believe in family ritual and sacrifice; you are not yet genuinely saved in Christ if you still keep the magic book, rings and others in your possession.

When you totally and genuinely surrender your life to Jesus, you will renounce and destroy every of those things in your possession.
God does not accept our 99%, He only takes our 100%. Those who give 1% to Satan and sin, and give 99% to God will eventually loose all.

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

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

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

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

Genuine salvation comes before total setting free.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18, "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”

SAME PENALTY ...Please read this!
Romans 1:32, "Who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them."

There is penalty for every sin committed, but then you may not commit any sin after you are saved and still face the same penalty with those who are committing the sin. You wonder how come? It comes to pass when you approve or support those who are committing the sin.

The Bible lists several sinful people in Romans 1:29-31 "being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful."

Now, the Bible truth is that, it is not only these sinful people that will eventually go to hell, but all those who support, approve and like their sinful practices.

Satan is trapping so many ignorant Christians today, even though they are not committing sinful acts, but they are supporting, liking those who are doing the sinful acts, and so they are under condemnation of the same judgment.

After you are saved, you don't take alcoholic drinks again, but as long you still give money to people to drink it, you are under the same condemnation. You don't drink but you sell alcoholic drinks and advertise the drink, you are under the same judgment with those who drink. You do not drink alcohol but you wear the T-shirt of the alcoholic companies, meaning you are promoting their sinful products, and then you are under the same judgment with those who drink alcohol.

When you use the T-shirt, Pen, Key-Holder, Bag or any product that promotes beer, cigarette, and other sinful products, you are under the same judgment with those who use the sinful products. If you are not drinking beer or smoking but you are working at company where such product are produced or promoted, then you are under the same God's judgment with those who are using the sinful products.

WEARS
You don’t wear sinful dress, but you do sow for people to wear it, you sell ungodly dress for people, then you are under the same judgment with people who wear the ungodly dress.

WORLDLY MOVIES AND MUSIC
Many Christians are ignorantly trapped with the webs of worldly support. After your claimed salvation, and you still watch worldly movies, it means you approve their lifestyles and what they are doing, and you are under same judgment of God. How can a child of God uses his money to buy Hollywood, Nollywood or Bollywood movies? How come you are selling and marketing sinful movies and music and you think you will be justified by God? How can a regenerated child of God spends her time to watch worldly movies or big brother naija and other wordly, immoral stuffs? When you do so, it means you approve what they are doing and supporting them with your money and time, and you are still part of the world and will eventually receive same judgment.

If you are a child of God and you still play and listen to worldly music, then you are under the delusion of the devil. Do you know the type of music you listen to, the type of music you put on your caller tune and ringing tone of your phone can determine your eternity? If you are a fan of worldly stars, then it means you approve their lifestyle and you will receive same penalty of God’s judgment with them.

SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS
Check the personalities, people and the products you like on your social media profile, if you like any of those secular or worldly singers, artists, etc. it means you approve them and you are going to receive same judgment with them at the end. The Bible says, “that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” You don’t need to practice sinful thing before you receive the penalty of that sin, but as long you support, aid or abet, like or approve those who practice it. You may not be among the people who are committing sinful act, who are living ungodly life, but if you are one of their fans or followers on facebook, Twitter or other social media, then you are equal with them before God.

Watching worldly movies, worldly TV shows and other programs that will not glorify God are some of the end time means Satan is trapping so many Christians to hell. So we will be surprised if rapture sounds and many devoted Christians and ministers miss the rapture, just because of these little foes of worldly delight and support. When the love of God really fills your heart, you will hate worldly movies, music, dress and comedy with passion, you will seriously pray for the salvation of those celebrities, and never be part of them.

The question is that, will you allow Satan to trap and implicate you down with your approval and like of sinful things and people after you have escaped the sinful habits? You need to repent and ask God to forgive you of those worldly things and people. If you are working at company where sinful products like alcohol or cigarette is produced, you will repent and resign without delay. If you have any of those worldly materials, movies or music in your property, you destroy them; if you have any on your phone, you delete them and be free from God’s judgment.

Do not be stupid to partake in another man’s sin; do not be ignorant to partake in God’s judgment of a sin you do not commit, just because you approve those who commit it. Be wise and watchful.

1 Timothy 5:22, “Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people’s sins; keep yourself pure.”

Are you ready to rededicate your life to Jesus now and start a new life? Then repent! Confess all your sins, ready to forsake them all and ask Jesus to forgive, cleanse you and save you.

THE MEANING OF THIS BIBLE VERSE: ISAIAH 33:1
“Woe to you who plunder, though you have not been plundered;
And you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you!
When you cease plundering,
You will be plundered;
When you make an end of dealing treacherously,
They will deal treacherously with you.”

If we look at this special Bible verse very well, there two things to take note: 1, God declares woe, judgment on those who plunder and those who deal treacherously, and 2, it says when they cease plundering or dealing treacherously, they will be plundered and they will be dealt treacherously with.

Now, what does this mean? Does it mean when someone who has been plundering or dealing treacherously repents and stops, that God will make people to plunder him and deal treacherously with him? The answer is no, that is not what it means. Because when we repent from our sins and stop doing sinful things, God’s mercy overrules judgment. But this Bible verse is not talking about people who repent and stop doing bad things but it is talking about people who cease. It is a different thing to willfully stop or to cease because the opportunity ceases or because you are sacked or your time expires. They are two different things.

The Bible says, “When you cease plundering,
You will be plundered;
When you make an end of dealing treacherously,
They will deal treacherously with you.”

Here, it is talking about people who are doing bad things and when their opportunities of doing bad things cease, not that they repent and stop, but they don’t have the opportunity to do it again, then God will allow people to begin to do bad things to them.

A young single lady going out with other women’s husbands, collecting their money and committing sins with them, one day, she will cease being single and want to marry and settle down with her family, then she will begin to reap her sins, her marriage will also be plundered and single ladies will also deal treacherously with her husband.

Smart people, right? Who are plundering, stealing, looting money at their places of work, they are dealing treacherously with another man’s business, but one day, they will cease, they will be retired or they will leave and want to start their own businesses, then the Bible says, when they cease plundering, then they will be plundered.

You see some people looting money in their places of work and within a short time that they are retired or they are sacked, everything they have goes down and they are subjected to nothing, it is the fulfillment of the word of God.

Listen, the Bible says whatever a man sow he shall reap. There is nothing we do that we will not reap the judgment. You are stealing, looting, robbing, deceiving, in people’s business or government offices, one day, you will retire or think of having your own establishment, then you also will be looted. The cars you buy with stolen or looted money or the houses you build with stolen money will bring God’s judgment upon you and your household.

As a single man or lady, you are flirting with married men or women, later you will want to cease such life and settle to have your own family, then as you have done to married people, it will be done to your married wife or husband.

The one way to escape the judgement of sowing and reaping, of the repercussion of what you have done is to repent, plead for God’s mercy and forsake your sin before it is too late. It is only God’s mercy prevails over judgment and for you to have God’s mercy, you must repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior so that His Precious Blood can atone for your sins and wipe them away free.

It is not just to cease doing bad things but it is to receive the mercy of God into your life through Jesus Christ. Even if you cease doing the wrong things, you can’t undo the wrong you have done but you can receive mercy that prevails over judgment into your life through Jesus Christ. The Bible says, “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13.

" If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 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

Amen

UNEDUCATED JOHN -VS- EDUCATED JUDAS
Some years back, when I was member of a Deeper Life Bible Church in Nigeria, I know of a brother pastoring a campus fellowship, and I heard he was doing well, and then later he was removed from pastoring the fellowship, why? I heard because he was not a university graduate, and he was replaced with a “university” graduate pastor. And I began to see the demoted pastor, who was not given any other church to pastor, coming to our district church to fellowship with us, and seating at the back. Not long after, I heard the “university” graduate pastor could not successfully pastor the school fellowship, so they had to call the demoted no-B.Sc. pastor to come and help the “university” pastor as assistant pastor of the school fellowship.

This is the generation where higher education is now one of the requirements for working for God at a level. No wonder I saw many of the pastors there going back to school as part-time students, not just for the purpose of getting promotion in their businesses or offices, but for them to qualify to become senior pastor, because there was a limit you could reach in working for God in the church if you are not a university graduate, in fact, it wasn't possible for anyone to become a state overseer if the person was not a university graduate. And in this same type of Christianity we are praying for revival, which type of revival, is it academic or sarcastic revival or revival of the Holy Spirit?

Do you know why we are not experiencing the move of God in the church today as before, why lots of funny things are happening, why powers of darkness are prevailing of many Christians, why pastors cannot rescue their members from darkness? It is simply because the called are not the ordained and the ordained are not the called, as a result of misappropriate of priorities, depending on human wisdom instead of God’s power, ordaining people into ministerial position by physical outward look such as academic outlook of higher education, able to speak good English, and physical outward look of financial capacity, having a good car, able to fund the church, instead of ordaining those who are genuinely called by God. How can God back you in what He doesn’t call you into?

(Many Christians today do not have the understanding that there is God's calling into ministry, that you don't just go into pastoral or full time ministry without divine calling.)

Jesus Christ ordained Peter as the “General Overseer or Senior Pastor” of the early church, and you know who was his deputy? It was John. But both Peter and John were stark illiterates, you know people that you don’t need to spend too much time speaking with before you discover that they are illiterates and unlearned? Those were Peter and John. Let’s read it in the Bible: Acts 4:13, “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.”

Peter and John were not only uneducated but also unlearned, meaning they were not civilized, and Jesus Christ handed over the leadership of the church, not only in a village but worldwide, unto them. That would be impossible in this civilized type of our Christianity today where pastor are reading Bible from ipad, that is the reason our civilized Christianity cannot contain the power of God as of old.

If Pa Akindayomin were to come back to Redeemed church - RCCG of today, he would never be ordained a Area Pastor, because of his uneducated background. And this is the man God used to found the same church, the man who received revelation of the name to call the church, Redeemed Christian Church of God, and he didn't understand the meaning, yet God choose and used him. But today, the same church is filled with educated Judas Iscariot and civilized criminals.

What A Funny Generation We Are!
We are in generation where people prefer attractive packaging to effective products.

We are in a generation where people prefer quantity to quality.

We are in a generation where people prefer popularity to productivity.

We are in a generation of Christianity where people prefer speaking in tongue to speaking the truth.

We are in a generation of Christians where people prefer educated Judas Iscariot to uneducated John.

We are in a sarcastic funny generation of Christianity

Depending on God’s Power Not Human Capacity
In the days of John Wesley, lay preachers with limited education would sometimes conduct the church service. One man used Luke 19:21 as his text, “Lord, I feared thee, because thou art an austere man.” KJV. Not knowing the word austere, he thought the text spoke of “an oyster man.” He explained how a diver must grope in dark, freezing water to retrieve oysters, in his attempt; he cuts his hands on the sharp edges of the shells. After he obtains oyster, he rises to the surface, clutching it “in his torn and bleeding hands.” The preacher added, “Christ descended from the glory of heaven into…..sinful human society in order to retrieve humans and bring them back up with Him to the glory of heaven. His torn and bleeding hands are a sign of the value He has placed on the object of His quest.”

Afterward, 12 men received Christ. Later that night someone came to Wesley to complain about unschooled preachers who were too ignorant even to know the meaning of the texts they were preaching on. The Oxford-educated Wesley simply said, “Never mind, the Lord gets a dozen oysters tonight.”

If we want to experience the move of God and His glory in our lives or in our ministries, we must totally depend on God for His will, not our ways, we must let God use our inadequacies and that of others for His glory. God does not choose by physical capacity or outward look, but by His own divine calling. We cannot experience revival in our lives, families, ministries, career, or business until we revert back to the standard of God and His wisdom.

1 Corinthians 1:26, 27, “For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty”

FALL DOWN AND DIE PRAYERS!
The reason many Christians spend more time to pray against their enemies than they pray for their blessings is spirit of revenge. When you hear a prayer like, “Every enemy that tie down their destinies with padlocks, die!” Now how will the death of the enemy amount to your deliverance?

So many Christians praying that their enemies should turn mad or die suddenly, they are praying by the spirit of revenge not by the Spirit of God. Such a prayer does not originate from Bible. And when you challenge them with the Word of God that, “Why are you praying your human enemies must die?” they say they are actually praying that the satanic powers and spirits behind the enemies must die. But that is not biblical either. Power, spirits and principalities don’t die, and they don’t need to die before you can be victorious, they only need to be disarmed. The Bible says in the Book of Colossians 2:15, “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.”

And when it comes to human and physical enemies, they don’t need to die before you will enjoy God’s blessing in your life and family. As children of God, our concern is not that our enemies should die but that they should be able to do nothing. It is a wrong notion and a spiritual ignorance that makes many Christians thinking that their enemies must die or must be destroyed before they can enjoy God’s blessings and peace of life.

What is your problem? What is your priority or purpose of praying that enemies must die by fire or by thunder? If your problem is spiritual battles and your purpose is peace and prosperity in every area of your life, then you don’t need your enemies to fall down and die. Because what you really need for your peace and prosperity in life is not the absence of enemies but the presence of God. And the presence of God comes through genuine salvation and holiness of life.

What you need to ask God after you are saved is not the life of your human enemies or their death, but the presence of God. When God is with you, when the presence of God is right with you, you can have the abundant peace and prosperity right in the presence of your enemies. The Bible says, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.” Psalm 23:5. These 3 things happened to David right in the presence of his enemies, all because God was with him.

God does not need the absence of your enemies before He can showcase His blessing in your life, and He does not need them to die either. What really matters is not the absence of enemies in your life, when they are all dead, no. What matters is the presence of God.

How comfortable are you praying that sinners should die and go to hell fire just like that? Because anybody who makes himself or herself an enemy of a person either by possessing evil spirit of wicked spirit, such a person is a sinner. And as children of God, we don’t declare death sentence on them but we pray that God should disarm them, putting them in His prison and then preach gospel of Jesus to them to be saved.

Another thing here is that children of God don’t curse but bless. Some Christians, out of the spirit of revenge they lay curses on their offenders; some Christians ministers even use their calling to curse, such is opposite the teaching of Jesus Christ. What do you stand to gain in cursing people? What is your profit? Do you so much desire God to punish your offenders or for God to prosper you? Do you so much care for the life of your offenders to become miserably gruesome or for your life to become marvelously awesome?

Sometimes, God allows some losses to come our ways so He can use the occasion to multiply us and replenish our losses even in 100 folds, but many times we do not key in to gain God's plans to unleash His blessings on us after the loss, we are after the revenge of the offender because of our old adamic mentality.

After you genuinely give your life to Jesus, your prayer points must change.

3 STEPS TO TAKE FOR NEW LIFE IN JESUS
1. Repent – realize and ready to forsake every form of sin and unrighteousness in your life; surrender your sinful life to God and ask Him to forgive and cleanse you.

2. Pray – Right now you need to pray to God from your heart, confess all your sins and surrender all. Tell Jesus Christ to forgive you, cleanse you and save you. You can pray the prayer for the next few minute now, as Jesus is right beside you. 1 John 1:9. “If we confess our’sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

After you have prayed and experienced salvation, then you follow JESUS without looking back.

Mark 8:34, "When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."

3. Follow – To follow Jesus Christ is to forsake your old lifestyles and follow Jesus in new life guided by His word and Holy Spirit. You cannot continue in the old sinful lifestyle anymore, you cannot follow the direction of this sinful world anymore, you cannot follow the dictates of Satan anymore, and you will not follow the desire of yourself, only the word and will of Jesus Christ, since He has become the Lord of your life.

To continuously follow Jesus, you need to daily fellowship with Him. It’s not possible to keep following Jesus Christ without fellowship with Him. Christians who fall back into sinful lifestyles are those who fail to keep their daily fellowship with Jesus through Bible reading and prayer. Fellowship here is not about going to church but having daily Bible reading and prayer time with Jesus where we receive grace and strength of God. Without the grace and strength Jesus Christ, you cannot successfully follow Him.

Following Jesus Christ is also to guard against sinful tendencies and temptations, and to do the will of God; but without Jesus empowerment, it not possible to do all these. "....for without Me you can do nothing." John 15:5.

Are you ready for new life in Jesus? Then pray it into your life right now and proceed in the new life, no turning back, no falling down. Forward ever in Jesus name.

TOILING UNDER RELIGION
Religion means human being toiling to find God. There are several religions everywhere in the world, they are motivated by human longing to find God, and they believe they can, by their human efforts, their human righteousness or their own works find God or they believe they have found God by their religious efforts.

This human toiling started at the building of Babel, when humanity agreed to build a tower in order to gain access to God and find Him. "And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens." Genesis 11:4. Why did they want to build a tower to connect to heaven? It is because there is always an emptiness in every man that only God can fill. Every being wants a connection with God. And since then, there have been several religions of different styles and systems of worship, aiming at getting access to God, aiming at personal relationship with God. Every soul desires a relationship with God because God is our Creator and we cannot be fulfilled without Him, no matter how successful we are.

But the truth of the reality is that, religion is deceptive and also is a terrible sin because it involves two evils: deception and disrespect – Self-deception and downgrading the standard of God. When you believe your own human efforts and wisdom can gain you access to God and make you righteous before God, you are in self-deception. Human effort is vanity, and human righteousness is filthy rag; for any man to believe his religion can make him righteous before God is a dangerous deception. The standard of God is so high that no man can meet up with it, and God is so distant that no human effort can connect them with Him.

No matter how hard a man toils, he cannot find God because God is too mighty to be fathomed by human wisdom and strength. The bad news about religion is that it cannot find God, no matter the name or popularity of the religion, you can never find God; no matter how religious, disciplined or good you are, no matter faithfully you pay your tithes, how you sow seeds to your pastors, how you are committed to your church. Humanity seeking God by their human effort and knowledge, called religion, cannot find God. Every religion tries different means to seek God and to supplicate unto God, but no religion has successfully found God, because God is unfathomable, His personality and knowledge transcends human comprehension. We cannot relate with God on the ground of religion.

When God saw the predicament of humanity that it was impossible for a mortal man to seek and find an immortal God, God Himself came to the world to seek for man. In the likeness of man, Jesus Christ came to the world to seek for the lost humanity. Luke 19:10, “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” That is the different between Christianity and religion, religion is man seeking God, but Christianity is God seeking man.

Your religion, your human efforts, your self-discipline and good work cannot give you access to God Almighty; they cannot save you. You need genuine salvation in Jesus Christ who died for you and rose for you; you need to accept Him as the Lord of your life by realizing your shortcomings and your sins, by asking Him to forgive and cleanse you. 1 John 1:8-9, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

SAME CATEGORY OF IGNORANCE (Please read this!!!)
1 Kings 3:11, “Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice.”

The prosperity preachers who center on riches, and the problematic preachers whose messages and prayers concern on the death of enemies “fall down and die”, they are both in the same category of ignorance. Christians with better understanding seek and center their preaching and prayer mainly on the understanding of the word of God, and to be fruitful thereby.

King Solomon had an open cheque before God to ask whatever he wished; Solomon did not ask riches or prosperity, and he did not ask that his enemies should fall down and die, rather he asked for the understanding of God’s will and way; this pleased God so well, “Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice” 1 Kings 3:11.

When we seek to understand the Word of God and center our concern and prayers on how to grow in the Lord and in His kingdom, God will add blessings into our lives and He Himself will fight our enemies. 1 Kings 3:12, 13. “ Behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. 13 And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.”

So if Solomon did not ask for riches and for his enemies to die, why can't you do the same thing? if you read it that God was pleased with the request of Solomon for asking for spiritual understanding, why can't you do the same thing to please Him with your request and let Him do the same supernatural addition in your life. Jesus Christ promised us that if we seek first His kingdom - that is, to be saved into God's kingdom and get others saved, and His righteousness - that is how to live in righteousness after we are saved and help others do the same, then He will add ALL others. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33

A pastor whose preaching and prayers majorly center on riches, blessings, prosperity and breakthrough is a carnal and misled pastor; a pastor whose messages and prayers center on witches and wizards, deliverance, the “fall down and die” of enemies instead of focusing and praying on how to grow in holiness and prepare for the rapture, such pastor is ignorant and misguided.

The prosperity church is a deceived and derailed church; the problematic church of “enemies die” is a disillusive church. What about you? What is the center of your prayer? What is the first and foremost in your prayer list and time? Do you care for riches of this world more than righteousness? Do you seek for righteous living in your prayer and priority? Do you care more about the problems of life than purity of life in your prayer time and focus? Are you more concerned for the enemies in your family to die than focusing on the old sinful nature and notion in your life to die? Which one do you first pray on and mostly?

In this very end time, there are increasing number of foolish virgins among Christian ministers and members who care for the minor than major, who center their affection on the temporal than eternal, and whose priority, purpose, prayer and preaching center on how to get a well-being in this life than to receive a well-done in heaven. The people whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. Philippians 3:19.

But if you chose to be among the few wise, then center your priority, purpose of life, prayer and preaching mostly on salvation into the kingdom of God and serving God in righteousness. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Colossians 3:2; Philippians 3:20 If you will like to surrender your life to Jesus or to rededicate your life to Jesus, please click on this link and read http://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-can-i-be-saved/270674586372252

DISCIPLES OF CHRIST OR CHURCH'S DISCIPLES?
There are clear differences between a church members and a disciple of Jesus Christ:

A disciple of Christ is somebody who genuinely comes to Jesus Christ for the salvation of his soul and eternal life and keeping following Him for the bread of life. John 6: 63-67. But a church member may have other purposes like problem solving, prosperity, prophecies, healing, etc.

A disciple of Christ is somebody who comes to Jesus and repents from all his sins, forsake them and continuing in the Word of God. Acts 14:21, 22. A church member does not necessarily need to be genuinely saved; they may just answer altar call and be committed and faithful to the church ordinances.

Are you a disciple or a church member?

To make disciples, Christ, and Him alone must be preached with the sole aim of leading people to salvation in Christ and helping them to grow and live in holiness, truth and righteousness, and to make heaven. To make members, no need of priority of genuine repentance, salvation, restitution and holiness of life, just preach what will attract people in the name of Jesus. If your purpose is to make people get to heaven, it’s not a must to make them members of your church.

You can have thousands members in your church and none of them is a disciple of Christ. The population of a church is not in proportion to the spiritual value of that church. The number of the members in a church is not in any proportion to the number of Christ’s disciples in that church.

Since you have been a Christian, are you Christ disciple or a church member? You can spend all the days of your life with a church, you can spend your money and time, you can be a leader of a church but if you are not a disciple of Christ, everything is wasted. Please check your salvation before you get to eternal checking point gate where there will not be room for correction but eternal condemnation.

WHAT IS NOT ENOUGH TODAY…..
If you are a child of God, serving Him with all your heart, and you are facing some tough situations, I am here to encourage you never to stop serving God, never to slow down or be discouraged, because what is not enough or what you don’t have today, will be more than enough tomorrow.

Imagine you are in any of the following situation:

Having Financial Difficulties?
Maybe you have no job, no accommodation, and no money to meet basic needs in your life or family, if you have Jesus as your Lord and you are faithfully serving Him without compromise, He will serve you with the best that will not involve any form of sins. There are three things many children of God usually do wrong when they are in financial need:

1, Worry instead of worshiping God. You worry because you can’t imagine how a possible solution will come. Divert your energy of worrying into worshiping God even in the presence of embarrassing needs.

2, Compromise into sin. Many children of God fail to be faithful to the end in time of needs, many Christians compromise to get job, contracts or traveling documents in sinful ways and thereby miss the wonderful purpose of God for their lives and so they live the rest of their lives in wrong path except they repent and retrace their ways back.

3, Looking unto men for help. The more you look to men for help, the more you get frustrated and feel bitter. Why do you look up to men for your help while you are supposed to look unto God? Let God do what only Him can do in your life.

Not Even Enough Money for Transport Fare – You may be having financial challenges that you don’t have enough money for transport fare to school, to workplace, to church or for evangelism, and you have to trek several distances in the hot sun, you know what? Days are coming when you will always find yourself inside an air-conditioned car that you will need to create time to trek for exercise.

Like Being Single Forever?
If you are a godly brother or sister and you are single, the devil may make it look like you are being single forever, as if it will take eternity for you to eventually get married. But the truth is that if you continue serving the Lord faithfully without compromise, you will not only get married but happily married and within a few weeks after marriage, you will forget all your years of singleness. Just rest on the Lord, the miracle may be closer than you expect.

Single and Having temptation for Premarital Sex?
If you are a single brother or sister, sometime temptation for premarital sex will come, as if waiting for sex until marriage is too distant a time. The devil will portrait sex as something you need now, as something that will make you super-fulfil, but the truth is that premarital sex gives few minutes enjoyment that fades away quickly and replaces it with far years sorrow and regret. You will not want to do something for 5 mins and regret it for more than 50 years, will you?

When a child of God falls into premarital sex, the presence and angels of God will depart from the person and demons will be replaced and many evil attacks are done into the person’s life by the demons. But when you wait till you get married, you will have as many times to enjoy sex with your spouse and the presence of God will always abide with you. Do you know your remaining time of waiting is not as long as how far you have waited? So it is worth waiting through for the remaining few times. Do not yield to the temptation of premarital sex that will ruin your destiny. “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.

Not Having Children In Marriage?
If you are married and you are still waiting on the Lord for children, your waiting is for wonder, because your womb is reserved for special children. Do not allow pressure or people to mislead you against God’s will. What you need is to be more devoted to God’s will and work, and the wonderful children will follow. Do not allow the little delay to cause you to run from mountain to valley in the name of prayer, let God do what no man can do, and don’t allow men to hijack the glory of God in your life.

The family waiting on God for children today, the same family will soon be working for birth control tomorrow after they have enough children; the barren couple today, after God’s visitation, will soon be spending to bar more children from coming in the name of family planning when they have more children. What is not enough today will soon be more than enough if we trust God.

If you have been experiencing miscarriage after marriage, the Lord will visit you with miracle pregnancy that will be too heavy for any force to frustrate in Jesus name. Keep serving God as God is about to serve you with the best.

Whatever situation you are in, whatever solution you need, what matters is that you should have the Savior Jesus Christ in your life, and seek Him with all your heart and everything will be settled, that is sure!

Here is my picture as a side labourer at Redemption camp about 12 years ago, I was hungry several times, needed food and dreamed in my mind that when God blesses me with money, that I would eat as much as possible. But today, I can't eat as much as I dreamed then when I was hungry because I don't have that appetite for food again and I need to control my weight.

What is not enough today, will be more than enough tomorrow that you will evil say it is enough, if you can but wait upon the Lord.

“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

God bless you!

Gideon Akande, the Evangelist

FIGHT BACK!
One of the weaknesses or rather ignorance of many Holiness believing Christians of this generation is to believe everything bad is the will of God. But I need to tell you that, there are many things happening to children of God that are not God’s will or purpose but the sole work of the power of darkness and if you don’t fight back in the spirit, things will remain the same or get worse.

Do not generalize everything as normal or as wilderness experience. Yes, there is a situation we must endure, there are sufferings we must go through patience and prayer but we need the wisdom of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to discern works of the devil and fight back.

IN BUSINESS OR CAREER
If you have good and godly intentions for doing business, a good motive to bring glory to God’s name and you pray and do everything right, but you just see the business is not working well, it may be the devil fighting against the business. The devil can fight against the business if he sees it will support the work of God’s kingdom or if he sees you will use the business for soul winning. So, don’t quickly conclude that maybe that is how God wants the business to fail or it is the general economic situation in the country. As children of God, we are operating above general downfall situation, the Bible says “When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’” Job 22:29. That means it is all about what you say or accept.

Now let me tell you something about Psalm 91:7 in a business dimension, it says,
“A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.”

Listen, the fact that thousands of businesses are falling down and shops are folding up does mean it must come near the businesses of the children of God. The Bible says thousands and ten thousand shall fall but it will not come near you and your business - until you realize this as a child of God, you will just fold your hands and let the power of darkness fold your business under the pretense of “It is general everywhere”

Russia knows its limit. The fact that Russia is freely Bombing some places in Ukraine does not means it will extend to Poland that is under the coverage of NATO. You touch Poland, you see the fight of NATO. The same thing is applicable in spiritual warfare. The fact that the forces of darkness are Bombing people’s lives and businesses just anyhow, people who are not under the coverage of the precious Blood of Jesus Christ, that does not mean they will want to try touching you who is under the coverage of the blood of Jesus Christ, the apple of God’s eyes (except you don’t know the word of God) if they try it, they will see the fight of the Lord of host.  

IN MARRIAGE
Do you know why many Christians are now divorcing easily? It is simply because they accept the defeat of the devil. Many problems in marriage are not ordinary, they are not as a result of incompatibility or wrong choices, but because the couples are ignorant of the devices of the devil, so they keep fighting each other instead of them to fight the devil behind the problems and so when they are tired of fighting each other, they go to court collect their certificate of marriage failure called divorce.  You cannot win in your marriage if you are fighting the wrong person, your spouse. And the devil is quite happy with the ignorance of many Christian couples in marriage today. But you need to wake up and fight back the devil.

What does 2 Corinthians 10:3 say about problems in marriage? It says, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh” It means though you married a beautiful looking flesh and blood man or woman but when it comes to warfare in marriage, when it comes to problems in marriage, don’t fight your spouse but fight back the devil behind the scene.

Listen, the devil does not want you to have peace and prosperity in that marriage and he can do anything against your spouse, so fight the devil and spare your spouse, and do not fight your spouse to spare the devil.

IN YOUR HEALTH
Don’t accept sickness as normal or as God’s will, did God tell you that? You must fight back and reject evil reports. Do not normalize the work of the devil against your life.

FIGHT BACK NOW
But how? How do you fight back? Is it by engaging fireful “fall down and die” prayers and marathon fasting or by going from one mountain to another? No! You fight back by first giving your life to Jesus Christ. If you have not genuinely given your life to Jesus Christ, if you are still living in sin and worldliness, you cannot fight the devil, you can only make noise and blast in empty tongues. But when you surrender your life to Jesus Christ and you accept Him as the Commander of your life, He begins to fight the battle for you and your own is to just fight the good fight of faith. You must be listed in the army of the Lord before you can fight in the Lord or before you can use His weapons. The Bible says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” Genuine salvation through repentance makes us one of the armies of the Lord.

HOW TO FIGHT BACK
After you are saved and enlisted in the soldiers of God, you fight by faith and in faith, that is all. The easiest battle to fight is when God is on your side, He has already conquered for you through Jesus Christ, but you claim your victory through faith in Christ, it means you personalize the victory of Jesus through faith in Him. You need faith in Christ. Spiritual battle is not won by shouting or fasting for a long period, but by fighting. Why many Christians are being defeated is because Satan first defeated their faith.

We must have faith in God, in His words and wisdom and we must not accept the defeat of the devil, no matter how close, in our personal life, marriages, businesses, ministries or over the lives of our children and people. We must fight the good fight of faith by believing and trusting God without giving up to fear or failure.

Listen to what children of God did through faith, “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.” Hebrews 11:33,34.

Rise up in faith and fight back, subdue the kingdoms of darkness, work in holiness and righteousness no matter the temptations, receive the promises of God for your life, family and ministries, stop the mouths of the roaring lions, quench the violent fire of the darkness in your marriage, don’t allow the strange fire to burn your marriage, and escape every attack of the enemies, in Jesus name! Amen

God bless you!

Gideon Akande, the Evangelist

ELI BROUGHT UP HIS CHILDREN IN A MODERN WAY!
Eli was a high Priest of God in Shiloh then, he has 2 children , boys, but they were spoiled children, spoiled by their father, he brought them up in an American way, in a Western and modern way and then the children became useless, so useless to him and to God.

Do you think Eli did not talk to his children? He did, but with more respect than with discipline. Eli could talk to his children like, "Guys, what you are doing is not the best, you need to think, think and bring out the best in you. You are wonderful guys and I would not want to say anything that would hurt your feeling or emotion, because you deserve respect as the sons of the highest priest in Israel. You have great potentials and you deserve a reserved respect, but then I would not want you to hurt God, men"

Now, with all the evils, corruptions and immoralities of his sons, see how he rebuked them, "So he said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people. No, my sons! For it is not a good report that I hear. You make the Lord’s people transgress." Eli spoke to his spoiled children with respect, he wasn't ready to be too direct or harsh with them, that was the reason he kept saying "What I hear about you". He was living with them in Shiloh and he saw none of the evils they were doing, he only heard what people said. He did not want his sons to see him as a tough or strict father and he did not want them to be mad at him, he was like, "I didn't see anything wrong in what you are doing, but what I am hearing is not good, you know people now...."

That is how the western world, modern world wants you to bring up your kids, like Eli, with much respect even if they are disrespecting God, no discipline and no any form of punishments.

Eli honoured his son more than God and God was not happy about that. God said, "Why do you kick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling place, and honor your sons more than Me....."

Listen, it is better you discipline your children now than for God to decide His judgement upon them. It is better to hurt your kids with punishments now than for you to hurt God. Eli lost everything and his two sons in a day just because he honoured his children more than God.

"He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly." Proverbs 13:24.

Train and discipline your children in godly way now, forget about their moods now but mold them in a godly way. They will thank you later.

God bless you,

Gideon Akande, the Evangelist.
