RIP has no meaning to the dead. It is too late pray for the dead. Do not waste your time typing RIP, rather, pray for the bereaved family. If you die without genuine salvation in Jesus, without living to please God, without confessing and forsaking your sin, without doing necessary restitution, you will only have a RIP life - Regret In Permanent life. Do not get to hell fire before you realize the truth

RAPTURE EXPERIENCE- By a Christian Sister
(Read and Repent, do not be among those who will comment on Facebook after the Rapture)

Dark Days Are Ahead For The World And Unprepared Christians

My brothers and sisters I want you to take this message very seriously. I want to share with you what the Lord showed me. The Lord showed me rapture of the church as the true children of God were ruptured. But the majority of people were left behind. It was the era of the 666. So many people went for the mark but others decided to stand and wouldn't take the mark.

Those who refused the mark became hungry and thirsty. There was no hope from anywhere. All the prayers they were saying was, "Lord help us ! Lord help us!" Those who could use money to buy were enjoying their lives, but those of us who couldn't buy anything were really suffering. Among those suffering were children ! There were children ! (In tears) Please if you are a parent, I challenge you to take your child to a Sunday school to learn about God or teach your child the ways of God. Please ! Don't leave your children for the world. I was surprised to see that so many children were left behind after the rapture !

At this time, I lifted my eyes to the heavens and I saw the Our Saviour Jesus
he had His head bowed and was weeping. Then I said "Lord please help us!" He said to me: "I have counselled my children, and warn them over and over again but they wouldn't listen to me, "I have finished my work and there nothing I can do anymore!". I just stood there crying. Even me that I am telling you this, this is the third time the Lord has showed me things like this about the rapture but I didn't listen. I was also among those who were suffering. After this revelation I lifted up my hands to the Lord and told Him to use me for whatever He wants. I will no longer live for myself. My Dear brother, and sister what lesson have you learn from this? Because when I remember what I saw I get scared. on one scene I saw the dead risen up some made it to the rapture, others were running for their lives I saw some people had their marks on their foreheads and others on their hands.

My Dear, any worldly lifestyle that violates God's rule should be avoided, ask the Lord to search your heart and help you overcome any sinful desire. I want you to take this message very serious and see how you are going to serve the Lord well from now onwards. Many believers had been shown divers experiences with my experience .Brethren' the coming of the Lord is so close!, It is due ! JESUS IS COMING !!

DEVICES OF DEVIL AGAINST GOD'S WORK
(This is the Part 4 and the concluding part. You can check our page for full parts)

In our working for God, after we have overcome every opposition and obstacle, we should be watchful against the fight within, against pollution and perversion. The greatest problem of the church is not persecution but perverse doctrines and teachings.

The early church overcame several and severe persecutions but they could not overcome subtle perversion. In his first book, Apostle Peter encouraged believers to endure persecution, but his second epistle focused a more terrible enemy, which is perversion. Many did not fall by persecution, but many followed pervasive teachings of the false prophets.

2 Peter 2:1-3
“But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.”

The big problem of the church today is not Muslims, not the terrorists, not the government or the unbelievers; the big problem of the church today are the false prophets – the preachers of sweet gospel, the prosperity preachers, the permissive preachers. No wonder, no wonder when the disciples asked Jesus of the signs of the end time, that Jesus first mentioned and warned against the deception of false prophets and teachers. “Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.” Matthew 24:3-5.

Many may not be dampened by persecutions, but many will be deceived by pervasive preachers of modern gospel.

After you know that Jesus is the only way to heaven, you should know and stand that holiness is the only walk to heaven. Several pervasive doctrines are all around today and many are falling victim of false doctrines like righteousness of Jesus without your righteous walk with Jesus; grace without godliness, once saved is saved forever, faith without work, and many others. As children of God and as ministers, we must be watchful against pollution and perversion.

We must also watch against pervasive habits. Many ministers and churches who watch against pervasive doctrines are finding it hard to overcome bitterness, envy, jealousy and evil speaking among themselves, among the members and ministers. This also matters, because all unrighteousness is sin.

CONCLUSION
We should be watchful against every device of the devil, both without and within; we should be vigilant, prayerful and at alert as we walk with God and work for Him. We should pray for daily grace to be watchful and to stand, we should pray for daily cleansing and sanctification. And we shall not be found wanting at the end in Jesus name. Amen

Ephesians 6:10-13
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

POLLUCTION & PERVERSION: FIGHT WITHIN
Part 3 of Devices of Devil Against God's Work

In our Christian walk with God and work for God, the enemy of our souls will not relent, using different devices and means, and so the Bible strictly warns us not to be ignorant of them because such ignorance is very costly. Looking from the book of Nehemiah, after the people of God were mocked and attacked in order to abandon God’s way and work, they didn’t; so the devil brought about the most terrible device against them which is fight within through pollution and perversion.

Through lessons from history, it is easier to resist and overcome fight outside than the fight within. As a child of God with a resolute mind to serve and live for God, it is easier to resist the devil outside than inside. As a church standing on the Word of God, it is easier to fight Satan to flee away than to fight the battle within. The children of Israel conquered all the enemies but they could not conquer themselves.

The people of Nehemiah resisted Sanballat, Tobiah and the Arabs, but they would have to resist perversion and pollution among them. After they overcame mockery and conspiracy, they must overcome their selfish and sinful interests.

Nehemiah 5:1, 6-8, “And there was a great outcry of the people and their wives against their Jewish brethren. 2 For there were those who said, “We, our sons, and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain, that we may eat and live… And I became very angry when I heard their outcry and these words. 7 After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, “Each of you is exacting usury from his brother.” So I called a great assembly against them. 8 And I said to them, “According to our ability we have redeemed our Jewish brethren who were sold to the nations. Now indeed, will you even sell your brethren? Or should they be sold to us?”

Pollution and perversion are the last but not the least among satanic devices; it is applicable in personal and ministerial walks.

Personal Walk
As children of God, dedicated to live holy and righteous life, after we fight opposition from people, after we resist temptation for sexual immorality, lying, drink, fighting and other outward sins; after we have settled restitution and resolved matters with people, having done all, we must stand against the wiles of the devil within. Many believers and ministers of God overcome outward sins but are careless to resist the devil within.

There are two types of sins: Maximum sins and minimum sins, also outward sins and inward sins; all unrighteousness is sin, and sin is sin with capacity to drag one to hell, no matter how small. Most time we focus on maximum and outward sins and we become careless about inward sins, many ministers are free from outward sins but are slaves to inward sins. As the examples given about bitterness, a child of God may not revenge or repay evil for evil, but if he or she allows bitterness, Satan has eventually won the battle. Among children of God today, among ministers of God, many claim to be holy based on sins but fail to look inward and be watchful.

In our personal walk with God, after we overcome outward sins and opposition, Apostle Paul admonished us to still stand and watch against the wiles of the devil because it does not end outward. Here are some of the inward sins we must daily watch against:

Ephesians 4:31 “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.” Bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking – gossip, backbiting, envy, jealousy, etc – must be put away, because the tendency will always come without notice in our personal relationship and in the work of God among other workers and ministers; watch out, they come on a daily bases.

To overcome bitterness, the solution is forgiving one another. To overcome wrath, anger, and clamor, the solution is to be tenderhearted. And to overcome tendency of evil speaking, the solution is kindness to one another. These are stated in the next verse to Ephesians 4:31, verse 32 says, “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”

Do you know as times goes on in your Christian life, it may be easier to resist telling lies than to resist envy and jealousy? And worst still, do you know that it is easier to develop envy and jealousy among brethren and ministers than among family members and unbelievers? It is also easier to develop bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor and evil speaking after we have become mature in the Lord than when we first gave our lives to Jesus; it is easier among the workers and ministers of God. In the parable of the workers of the vineyard, the old and long time workers were rebuked of such evil. Matthew 20:13 But he answered one of them and said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 15, “Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’”

Along our Christian walks and ministerial works, if care is not taken, we can become evil, evil speaking, envious and jealous. The only remedy is selflessness and watchfulness.

REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE
“Remember Lot’s wife.” Luke 17:32.

At this point and period of time, if there is any message to remember, if there is any warning of the Bible to remember, it is the warning of Jesus Christ to remember Lot’s wife. When this world is coming to a predictable end, when the Anti-Christ is set and the agents of 666 mark and Great Tribulation are ready, when God has made the message clearer that the rapture is about to take place any second from now; if there is anything to remember, it is to remember the warning of Jesus Christ to remember Lot’s wife. At the point when God was to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, the Angels of God came to rescue Lot, his wife and two kids. After the warning by the angel not to look back to the perishing Sodom, Lot’s wife looked back because of the possession and prosperity of Sodom and she perished with the Sodomites.

My friend, this is not an exaggeration and it’s not to frighten you, this world is about to crumble with all the people therein, the predicted, prophesied end of the world has come but Jesus will first come to pick, rescue His holy children through rapture before it will crumble. With what is happening around, even the blind can see that the end has come, with all the news and revelations around, even the deaf can hear the emphatic warning from heaven that end has come. I talked with a Christian brother from Kenya who got a revelation from God where God revealed to him who is the Anti-Christ and the prepared agency for post-rapture events, that all are set by Satan to take the control of the world immediately after the rapture and all is set also in heaven for the trumpet of the rapture to sound.

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

So, what shall we do? Here are the things you urgently need to do now if you don’t want to perish with this perishing world:

R E P E N T
No need to pretend but repent, no need to proof and no need to procrastinate, you need to repent now, and we all need to repent. This is not just the incessant confession of sins; repentance is realizing your sins as sins and ready to forsake them. Your confession will do you no good if you are not ready to forsake them and start a new life, if you are not ready to surrender all. Everyone needs to repent and every sin needs to be repented of. The serious sins and simple sin, common sins and general sins; secret sins and open sins, normal sins, it-doesn’t-matter sins, and besetting sins. No need for further delay, no need for comparism game, and it is foolish for anyone to be fooling himself now by saying, “this is my weakness, every body has a weakness, and no one is perfect” That little weakness has the strong capacity to hold you back from the rapture. Now is to repent from all forms of sins and worldliness.

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

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

R E V I V E!
Repent from all forms of sins, rededicate your life to God, re-consecrate your life to Jesus and be on fire for God and be fervent for Him. Go extra miles. After you surrender all, read your Bible every morning and evening, pray first and mostly about your Christian life and growth, go stronger. Preach the message of repentance and rapture to people; we can’t overdo it because rapture will only happen once. Don’t compare yourself with others, whoever. Let people call you fool, don’t mind them, they will soon see who fool is after the rapture. People also called Noah fool but when the Flood came they got to know who actually the fool was. They called Lot fool, you also be a fool to this present perishing world and be wise to God in your life, in gentleness, sincerity, purity, openness and simple life. Let your purpose of living, focus of life from now, and your expectation be to meet Jesus pure. If they say your own is getting too much or you are going too far, tell them you just started, because you have got to go far from Sodom before the destruction will take place. Take the things of this world with loose hand and hold strongly to holy and godly living.

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

Luke 17: 29, but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.31 “In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. 32 Remember Lot’s wife. 33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.

THE REDEEMED CHURCH AND GOD ON OPPOSITE PATHS

A proverb in Nigeria says, "When a plantain is spoiling, we say no, it is only ripping well" An unripe plantain is rich and contains several nutrients, and when it begins to ripe, it looses its nutrients and could cause health damages, but then it becomes finer, and sweeter; it becomes more presentable and attractive. The same thing is applicable with RCCG and many churches today. But the focus is on RCCG here. The founder of this church, Rev. Akindayomin, a man of holiness and righteousness, God called him and gave him a covenant church, that is Redeemed Christian Church of God - RCCG.

Then the church was unpopular because of its strict stand on holiness and righteousness. They were called "Gospel church" those who preached holiness and stood for it. They were not after materials stuffs, their sisters dressed godly, not flamboyantly, all of them were content with little and sharing with all.When their choir ministered, people bowed their heads in sober mood by the heavenly touch of the singing ministration, not like the jumping, shouting and crazy yelling with entertainment choir of today. Then companies were writing the church for employment because of the faithfulness and diligence of their members. I would not have joined them because of their standard of holiness since I was not saved then. That was the RCCG I knew when I was in Ilesha, Osun state in 1989 to early 90s.

But today, RCCG is more popular, richer and everywhere, in fact, they are proud of their parishes in every corner of Nigeria and many other countries, they are the fastest and still growing church, beautiful auditoriums everywhere. In Abuja here where I live, RCCG is like the richest church. But where are their godly virtues of old? They have exchanged their spiritual riches for materials and financial riches, they boast of financial riches while they are spiritually miserable. I lived in Redemption camp for full 6 months in 2010, and with what I saw in the dept of RCCG - the corruption, sexual immorality, unfaithfulness, etc. among the core leaders to the least members, I can categorically say this church is spiritually poor. A church where a music director wanted to sleep with a sister choir before permitting her to sing praise and worship at the Holy Ghost night? And God cannot open the eyes of the GO to discern or detect sins among people close to him and rebuke it openly as Apostle Peter did in Acts chapter 5, the GO can only discern blessings and upcoming prosperity?

Why has RCCG changed to opposite of where they stood before? Or why did Pastor Adeboye changed the landmark God gave to Rev. Akindayomin, which he upheld till he died? And you, you who were saved and brought up in the old faith when you were young, in secondary school and university fellowships, now you have joined the modern church system and worldly dress and have abandoned your beginning, seeing it as old school?

The Bible standard has gone elsewhere because of crave for population. If you are a member, worker or leader in RCCG, how many messages or books of Rev. Akindayomin do you have or have you read or listen to? Maybe none! RCCG is the only church where materials and works of the immediate past GO is evacuated almost completely. As if the books and messages of their founder who also was the immediate past leader were totally removed. None of his books or messages are promoted or reprinted, at least for every member to have access to the teachings and messages of the founder of their church. This present GO and admins will never do that, you know why? Their lifestyles, prayers and preachings are opposite the messages and standard of Rev. Akindayomin, so they CAN NEVER PROMOTE THE MESSAGES OR BOOKS of Pa Akindayomin in their present spiritual condition. Do you know any church on earth where the messages and books of the church founder and immediate past General Overseer is completely eradicated from the same church with no trace? Only in RCCG.

If God should open the eyes of Pa Akindayomin in heaven to see the church he left on earth, he will be weeping now, so also heaven is weeping on RCCG. But you are celebrating RCCG as a successful church, popular and powerful even to Aso villa here in Abuja.

The case of Pa Akindayomin and Pastor Adeboye is like the case of David and Solomon in the Bible. David fought the good fight of Faith, so also did Pa Akindayomin - we know how Pa Akindayomin started and how he ended well. But Solomon did no fighting, rather he did many buildings, from building Temple of God, to his personal buildings, to several idols, even to Chemosh - incessant building project is one of the signs of backsliding in any church. Solomon had many things, many wives, many riches, etc. just as there are many buildings and many members today in RCCG.

You must be happy of being a member or pastor of RCCG, especially if you did not witness the RCCG of old; because there is freedom, prosperity and promises and better life. No stress of holiness, no discipline of indecent dress, no restitution, everything is bureaucracy, and as long you can comply with the rules and regulations, you have no limit. But that will lead to where?

This is not the covenant church God used His servant Rev. Akindayomin to found, this is not the same church I knew in 1990, this is not the church of the Bible. Today, I will find it hard to join RCCG, not because of their high standard of holiness again, but because of their low and poor standard of holiness.

You can be very zealous to condemn this article, to choose to defend your GO rather than defending the truth. If you were not in RCCG about 20 years ago, then you may lack understanding of the beginning of RCCG, go and ask the elders who witnessed the beginning and strength of RCCG as a true covenant church of undiluted truth and holiness of heavenly minded church.

If you know where God began with you, where God was pleased with you that He made COVENANT with you, then that may help you to know where you have missed it along the way, and where you need to trace you way back. God is waiting for you at the point He made covenant with you, and same thing with Pastor Adeboye and RCCG as a whole. Go back to the old faith, the narrow old path of FEW serious minded, and stop defending this broad MULTITUDE, MANY faulty modern way before it is too late. The Rapture of the saints is imminent!

" Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’— and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and Unclad— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your unclothedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.Therefore be zealous and repent." Revelation 3:17-19

Gideon Akande

BIBLE STUDY: NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Mark 12:34, “Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”

The knowledge of God is very important, it makes us close to the kingdom of God. But being close to the kingdom of God is not enough, and having the knowledge of God is not enough to make us qualify for the kingdom of God. Not far from the kingdom of God is “almost” but not yet, not far but not in.

You can be so close to somewhere and never enter there, you may not be far from a house and never enter in. There is difference between too close and being able to enter. The same is applicable to the kingdom of God. Your knowledge of God and your service unto God are wonderful, they make you close to the kingdom of God. You are now committed to things of God, you read your Bible and pray, you are devoted in your church and working for God, you pay your tithes and go through Bible class; now you know a lot about the things of God, you know your Bible more better and you pray more and preach better. But without practicing what you know, without holiness of life and righteousness of living, being clearly obvious in your life, you cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Not Far, But Not In
Many Christians of this day are not far from the kingdom of God, that is how Jesus would describe many today. When God showed revelation to people that out of a million of Christians, who are serving God, about very few thousands will make the rapture if it happens now. And what about the rest of the devoted Christians? They are not far from the kingdom! Not far from the kingdom of God is not enough, because it is not how far, but how sure. You may be so committed to the things of God, suffer and sacrifice for the work of God, but you may not be reckoned in the kingdom of God, if your name is not written in the Book of life in heaven .

Whatever you do for Christ or in the name of Christ without your name written in the Book of Life is a waste and totally baseless. The first thing you need to get settled and secured is your name to be written in the Book of Life and to still remain till minutes, without that, all others are immaterial to your life. You can be so busy in your church, so committed to God’s work; you can be performing miracles, teaching, winning souls, doing deliverance, leading, pastoring and praying day and night, if your name is not in the Book of Life till date, all your efforts are total useless.

You may be a well known Christian in your family, among your friends and on the Facebook; you can be a renown Christian minister of this generation, but if your name is not presently written in the Book of Life, you are not recognized in heaven and no place for you there.

Jesus Christ described that man in Mark 12:34 as not far from the kingdom of God, but not yet in at the same time. Your knowledge of the Bible without genuine salvation makes you not far from the kingdom of God, but fall short from entering in. until you have genuine salvation, you will be found wanting to enter the kingdom of God. Until you totally repent from all sins and forsake them at the same time by starting a new life, you are fall short of the kingdom of God.

If you have ever experienced genuine salvation, but you are not walking in total holiness and righteousness of life, you are also fall short of entering into the kingdom of God. When you are saved, your salvation gives you the grace to see the kingdom of God, that is to be so close by reaching the gate, but you need to walk out your salvation in holiness and righteousness by walking with God, it is then you can enter into the kingdom of God.

John 3:3, “ Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

John 3:5, “Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”

There is difference between seeing the kingdom of God and eventually entering there. Without being born of water and Spirit, which is sanctification of life, you cannot enter there. Daily watchfulness in prayer and Bible reading, applying the Word of God into our lives to be fruitful therein are the means to live a sanctified life. Without holiness and righteousness no one can enter into the kingdom of God.

Now, what is the essence of not far from somewhere but never enter there? What is the use of being close to a desired building compound but never gained entrance? What is the benefit of going so far because of something, and at the end fall short of it?

Dear beloved, what is the essence of your being a Christian and at the end you are not qualified to enter heaven? Or rather, what is the use of claiming to be a Christian, being devoted in your church, working for God, paying tithes and offerings, praying and preaching of Christ, and at the end you are not permitted to enter the kingdom of God? What is the use of your Christianity without your name written in the Book of Life? What is the use of your Christian confession and profession without holiness of life?

Have you ever asked yourself this question of why will you do all these for Christ and never make the rapture? Why will you go so far for your Christian faith and at the end go to hell? How tragic will that be? With all your working for God? How terrible will it be with all the knowledge of God and grace and mercy of God you have, and you carry everything to hell, to end up with unbelievers, demons and devil?

I think what worth doing, worth doing well. Why will you not do ALL it will take to make heaven? Why will you not surrender ALL your life to Jesus now and get your heaven settled? Why will you allow that particular sin in your life or that covered sin and unsettled restitution to eventually disqualify you from entering heaven after you have gone so far? Why will you allow the secret sin, common sin, “it doesn’t matter” sin, “my pastor does not oppose it” sin, “we are doing it in our church” sin to block your ears from hearing the sound of the trumpet of the rapture?

Beloved, why will you not settle all at once now and surrender all to get your name secured in the Book of Life, so that whenever rapture or death comes, you will not have cause to cry?

R E P E N T!
Repentance is a matter of urgency now, for all of us. Let’s put aside pretense, realize your self, realize your sins, no cover up. Then renounce and forsake them at once, no procrastination! Confess your sins and shortcomings to God, no excuse; because those excuses will not help on the last day. Ask Jesus to forgive you as you also forsake them. Be determined to start a new of total dedication of holiness and righteousness in Jesus from today, and never turn back or fall back, come what may.

7 Tips on How to Overcome Temptations & Addicted Sins. Part 2

(This is the continuation of Part 1, you can check our page or group for Part 1. God bless you as you read this)

(2) Take a situation at a time
When temptation comes in an overwhelming manner, the devil will whisper to you,"Look, you are so weak, you cannot survive this. Even if you resist it now, what about tomorrow? what about next week? what about next month? Look at yourself, pretending. You can't make it, it is better to surrender now, God will understand." That is a plain lie from the pit of hell, The truth is that when you overcome it now, you will overcome it later. Each victory will grant you more strength against the next temptation. Take it at a time, God who helps you to overcome, this will help you better to overcome the next one.

Don't be bothered by tomorrow temptation, for grace comes when the temptation comes. "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:12-14

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

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

(5) Ask Yourself!
Ask yourself if the passing benefits of the temptation are enough to make you sin and displease your Savior who loves you so much. Just be sincere with yourself! … How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” Genesis 39:9

(6) Run!
In every temptation, there is a root of escape, so after you think well, you must run immediately from the scene of the temptation. Don’t wait for another chance, run now! Running can be leaving the place immediately, blocking access to the person or object of the temptation, it can be resounding and reaffirming your stand for the Lord, it can also be informing somebody about the temptation (this can be your partner, your parents or pastor. You need to know that when you are struggling with a temptation, sharing with the right person brings relief and help. But if your partner or pastor is the source of the sinful temptation, there is always a right, godly person to share with. Don’t keep it to yourself alone.) Running can also be cutting of interaction, relationship or visitation, it can be destroying or deleting the stuffs that lead to temptation, it can also be excusing yourself from the scene and so on.

Bible says, “Watch & Pray”, it’s not, “pray and watch”. The first thing is to watch, which is running. Watch, not speaking in tongues, not praying and staying there, run for your life! Genesis 39:12, " that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside."

(7) Pray Always!
If running from the appearance of temptation is watching, then praying is praying. Praying for God’s grace, strength, guidance and deliverance from temptation every day even before any temptation comes, since temptation is bound to come our ways. Matthew 6:13, "And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen"

……. then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the Day of Judgment. 2 Peter 2:9

GOD BE WITH YOU AS WE CONTINUE THIS ONWARD RACE TO HEAVEN!

7 Tips on How to Overcome Temptations & Addicted Sins. Part 1

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

Addicted sins are the sinful lifestyles, things or attitude we were used to before we became born again. And they want to come over again in our new lives in Jesus. And temptation, it is ungodly suggestions of Satan into your mind, simple! The purpose of temptation is to make us sin against God and against our own souls for destruction. The object of temptation is from outside, but the desire and suggestion is from within. So then, temptation is a seduction to sin, either old addicted sin or new general, common sins. Temptation comes on a daily bases and on different bases; your personal relationship with God depends on how you overcome temptations.

We need to know that temptation itself is not a sin, either from within by our thought or from without through people or things, it is falling into temptation that becomes sin; it is also a sin to get or go close to the appearance of sin. It is sin to go or get close to what you know may lead to sin by using vain boldness, that is tempting God, and the Bible commands us not to tempt God. Temptation comes from within or without, from your mind, your body, your feeling; from people, from Satan; pressure, persuasion or persecution, but the good news is that the power lies on you to decide, to sign or silent the temptation; that is your power of decision. Here are 7 tips that will always help us to overcome every form of temptation or addiction on our ways:

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

Don't bother yourself about the pressure within or without, satan is behind them, pushing them to persuade you. You may feel as if you are so weak to resist, but don't fall anyway. Since you don't use your power, you use the Word of God and name of Jesus to resist satan who is behind every sin. The pressure to sin, to have sex, to smoke, to lie, to masturbate, etc will overwhelm your body and feeling as if you will die if you don't do it, it is not so; you just hold your peace with God's word and you will see the feeling going down. The demon of that sin cannot stay long, he comes within few minutes, if you hold it and resist in that period, you will overcome. That is the truth about temptation and addicted sins.

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

Jesus Christ directed us not to involve vain repetitions in our prayers, and so what is vain repetition? Does it means praying long prayer or saying a word or statement repeatedly? Does it means asking God something more than once in our prayer, even though we have not received it? NO, vain repetition is none of the above. Vain repetition is more serious, subtle, and deceptive. There is different between “vain repetition” and “repetition”. Jesus did not not say we should not repeat or re-emphasize in our prayers, He did not oppose repetition, but only vain repetition.

Vain repetition comes in various ways which many of us get involved unknowingly. Jesus said, “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do.” This shows that vain repetitions were originally the act of the heathen, the people who worshiped false gods and the religious people.

Here are some vain repetitions:

FAITH IN PRAYER
The heathens’ faith is hinged on their prayer, believing the answers to their prayers are determined by their prayer, "For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” Matthew 6:7 The heathen keep repeating in pain, hoping their gods will consider how they suffer themselves, and answer them. Let’s see example from the Bible: 1 kings 18:26-28, “So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice; no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made. 27 And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.” 28 So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.”

In Christianity, our faith does not depend on our prayer but on the God who answers prayer. Christ did not teach us to put our faith in our prayer, but in God that answers prayer; He said we should even believe God’s answers before we prayer. So, “It is not by power, neither by might, but by My Spirit” says the Lord. Using candle, water, anointing oil, handkerchief or other stuffs to pray is an act of the heathen; the scripture directs us to pray only in the name of Jesus Christ and believe God for answer, simple! Anything apart from that is extra-biblical phenomenon. There is nothing called special prayer, special man of God for speedy answer or special place to pray in the teaching of Jesus Christ; running from mountains to meetings, traveling from far distance to a program for special prayer is an act of the heathen.

We can travel far distance to hear the Word of God that will help our spiritual lives, and we can travel far distance to do the work of God, but not for special prayer or to meet special man of God who will help us pray to God. When you become a child of God, and living your life to please Him, you have access to God through the name of Jesus Christ, without intermediary. Only the heathen, unbelievers or unserious Christians need somebody to help them present their requests to God. As children of God, we can pray for one another and pray together, but not presenting our prayers to another person to pray to God on our behalf. Giving a minister money for prayer, paying money or making vow before prayer are unscriptural.

PRAYER WITHOUT FAITH
This is common in the lives of many Christians today, we pray as routine, just to pray because we are Christians, without faith in God for the prayer, without expectation for the prayer. Prayer without faith is in vain. We pray because we serve God that answers prayer, who delights in our prayer. Prayer is an exciting activity because God listens and answers, but when prayer becomes boring to you, it means you do not have faith that God listens or will answer your prayer.The fact that God delays to answer your demands does not means He is denying you or He does not delight in you; God is only doing great things on your behalf that will daze many who will later hear your testimony. If you have the knowledge that whenever you pray, heaven stands still, that God is waiting for the sweet smelling of your prayer, you will look forward to praying, and not look warm in prayer. Jesus did not ask us to pray for the sake of praying as a Christian routine, but He asks us to pray so that we can receive.

John 16:24, “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”

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

PRAYER WITHOUT OBEDIENCE
Obedience to God is more important than prayer to God. When you ignore to obey God’s word, and you keep praying, it means you are doing vain repetitions. Maybe you suppose to repent and confess your sin, but you ignore that and keep praying for God’s mercy, such prayer is vain repetition. Some people commit sins, and instead of them to open up, confess to God and the necessary people, they keep praying for forgiveness and mercy – they are doing VAIN repetition. We can only receive mercy when we confess and forsake our sins. Proverbs 28:13. When the Spirit of God is leading you to open up your covered sin or to do restitution, but you refuse to obey, and you keep praying for mercy, mercy; you are only doing vain repetition. Obedience is better than sacrifice!

Maybe you are living in sin, living with sinful partner, doing a sinful business, working at an ungodly place, using fake document, age or you are benefiting from your past sin; then the Word of God is warning you to forsake the sins and forfeit the sinful benefits and surrender all to God, but instead of you to simply obey, you remain in the sinful thing and you keep fasting and praying for God’s mercy. Such prayer is a waste of time and a vain repetition. Some even go to the extend of giving huge amount of money and time for God’s work, thinking God will consider that and overlook their disobedience; they are ignorant that God cannot be bribed by fasting, long prayer or sacrifices. Obedience to God’s word is more important than prayer and fasting, than sowing or giving for God’s work. Your pastors or your church can accept your gifts and pray for you, but you are not at peace with your Creator until you simply obey.

Matthew 5:23, 24, “Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.”

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

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

THE REDEEMED CHURCH AND GOD ON OPPOSITE PATHS

A proverb in Nigeria says, "When a plantain is spoiling, we say no, it is only ripping well" An unripe plantain is rich and contains several nutrients, and when it begins to ripe, it looses its nutrients and could cause health damages, but then it becomes finer, and sweeter; it becomes more presentable and attractive. The same thing is applicable with RCCG and many churches today. But the focus is on RCCG here. The founder of this church, Rev. Akindayomin, a man of holiness and righteousness, God called him and gave him a covenant church, that is Redeemed Christian Church of God - RCCG.

Then the church was unpopular because of its strict stand on holiness and righteousness. They were called "Gospel church" those who preached holiness and stood for it. They were not after materials stuffs, their sisters dressed godly, not flamboyantly, all of them were content with little and sharing with all.When their choir ministered, people bowed their heads in sober mood by the heavenly touch of the singing ministration, not like the jumping, shouting and crazy yelling with entertainment choir of today. Then companies were writing the church for employment because of the faithfulness and diligence of their members. I would not have joined them because of their standard of holiness since I was not saved then. That was the RCCG I knew when I was in Ilesha, Osun state in 1989 to early 90s.

But today, RCCG is more popular, richer and everywhere, in fact, they are proud of their parishes in every corner of Nigeria and many other countries, they are the fastest and still growing church, beautiful auditoriums everywhere. In Abuja here where I live, RCCG is like the richest church. But where are their godly virtues of old? They have exchanged their spiritual riches for materials and financial riches, they boast of financial riches while they are spiritually miserable. I lived in Redemption camp for full 6 months in 2010, and with what I saw in the dept of RCCG - the corruption, sexual immorality, unfaithfulness, etc. among the core leaders to the least members, I can categorically say this church is spiritually poor. A church where a music director wanted to sleep with a sister choir before permitting her to sing praise and worship at the Holy Ghost night? And God cannot open the eyes of the GO to discern or detect sins among people close to him and rebuke it openly as Apostle Peter did in Acts chapter 5, the GO can only discern blessings and upcoming prosperity?

Why has RCCG changed to opposite of where they stood before? Or why did Pastor Adeboye changed the landmark God gave to Rev. Akindayomin, which he upheld till he died? And you, you who were saved and brought up in the old faith when you were young, in secondary school and university fellowships, now you have joined the modern church system and worldly dress and have abandoned your beginning, seeing it as old school?

The Bible standard has gone elsewhere because of crave for population. If you are a member, worker or leader in RCCG, how many messages or books of Rev. Akindayomin do you have or have you read or listen to? Maybe none! RCCG is the only church where materials and works of the immediate past GO is evacuated almost completely. As if the books and messages of their founder who also was the immediate past leader were totally removed. None of his books or messages are promoted or reprinted, at least for every member to have access to the teachings and messages of the founder of their church. This present GO and admins will never do that, you know why? Their lifestyles, prayers and preachings are opposite the messages and standard of Rev. Akindayomin, so they CAN NEVER PROMOTE THE MESSAGES OR BOOKS of Pa Akindayomin in their present spiritual condition. Do you know any church on earth where the messages and books of the church founder and immediate past General Overseer is completely eradicated from the same church with no trace? Only in RCCG.

If God should open the eyes of Pa Akindayomin in heaven to see the church he left on earth, he will be weeping now, so also heaven is weeping on RCCG. But you are celebrating RCCG as a successful church, popular and powerful even to Aso villa here in Abuja.

The case of Pa Akindayomin and Pastor Adeboye is like the case of David and Solomon in the Bible. David fought the good fight of Faith, so also did Pa Akindayomin - we know how Pa Akindayomin started and how he ended well. But Solomon did no fighting, rather he did many buildings, from building Temple of God, to his personal buildings, to several idols, even to Chemosh - incessant building project is one of the signs of backsliding in any church. Solomon had many things, many wives, many riches, etc. just as there are many buildings and many members today in RCCG.

You must be happy of being a member or pastor of RCCG, especially if you did not witness the RCCG of old; because there is freedom, prosperity and promises and better life. No stress of holiness, no discipline of indecent dress, no restitution, everything is bureaucracy, and as long you can comply with the rules and regulations, you have no limit. But that will lead to where?

This is not the covenant church God used His servant Rev. Akindayomin to found, this is not the same church I knew in 1990, this is not the church of the Bible. Today, I will find it hard to join RCCG, not because of their high standard of holiness again, but because of their low and poor standard of holiness.

You can be very zealous to condemn this article, to choose to defend your GO rather than defending the truth. If you were not in RCCG about 20 years ago, then you may lack understanding of the beginning of RCCG, go and ask the elders who witnessed the beginning and strength of RCCG as a true covenant church of undiluted truth and holiness of heavenly minded church.

If you know where God began with you, where God was pleased with you that He made COVENANT with you, then that may help you to know where you have missed it along the way, and where you need to trace you way back. God is waiting for you at the point He made covenant with you, and same thing with Pastor Adeboye and RCCG as a whole. Go back to the old faith, the narrow old path of FEW serious minded, and stop defending this broad MULTITUDE, MANY faulty modern way before it is too late. The Rapture of the saints is imminent!

" Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’— and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and Unclad— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your unclothedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.Therefore be zealous and repent." Revelation 3:17-19

THE REDEEMED CHURCH AND GOD ON OPPOSITE PATHS

A proverb in Nigeria says, "When a plantain is spoiling, we say no, it is only ripping well" An unripe plantain is rich and contains several nutrients, and when it begins to ripe, it looses its nutrients and could cause health damages, but then it becomes finer, and sweeter; it becomes more presentable and attractive. The same thing is applicable with RCCG and many churches today. But the focus is on RCCG here. The founder of this church, Rev. Akindayomin, a man of holiness and righteousness, God called him and gave him a covenant church, that is Redeemed Christian Church of God - RCCG.

Then the church was unpopular because of its strict stand on holiness and righteousness. They were called "Gospel church" those who preached holiness and stood for it. They were not after materials stuffs, their sisters dressed godly, not flamboyantly, all of them were content with little and sharing with all.When their choir ministered, people bowed their heads in sober mood by the heavenly touch of the singing ministration, not like the jumping, shouting and crazy yelling with entertainment choir of today. Then companies were writing the church for employment because of the faithfulness and diligence of their members. I would not have joined them because of their standard of holiness since I was not saved then. That was the RCCG I knew when I was in Ilesha, Osun state in 1989 to early 90s.

But today, RCCG is more popular, richer and everywhere, in fact, they are proud of their parishes in every corner of Nigeria and many other countries, they are the fastest and still growing church, beautiful auditoriums everywhere. In Abuja here where I live, RCCG is like the richest church. But where are their godly virtues of old? They have exchanged their spiritual riches for materials and financial riches, they boast of financial riches while they are spiritually miserable. I lived in Redemption camp for full 6 months in 2010, and with what I saw in the dept of RCCG - the corruption, sexual immorality, unfaithfulness, etc. among the core leaders to the least members, I can categorically say this church is spiritually poor. A church where a music director wanted to sleep with a sister choir before permitting her to sing praise and worship at the Holy Ghost night? And God cannot open the eyes of the GO to discern or detect sins among people close to him and rebuke it openly as Apostle Peter did in Acts chapter 5, the GO can only discern blessings and upcoming prosperity?

Why has RCCG changed to opposite of where they stood before? Or why did Pastor Adeboye changed the landmark God gave to Rev. Akindayomin, which he upheld till he died? And you, you who were saved and brought up in the old faith when you were young, in secondary school and university fellowships, now you have joined the modern church system and worldly dress and have abandoned your beginning, seeing it as old school?

The Bible standard has gone elsewhere because of crave for population. If you are a member, worker or leader in RCCG, how many messages or books of Rev. Akindayomin do you have or have you read or listen to? Maybe none! RCCG is the only church where materials and works of the immediate past GO is evacuated almost completely. As if the books and messages of their founder who also was the immediate past leader were totally removed. None of his books or messages are promoted or reprinted, at least for every member to have access to the teachings and messages of the founder of their church. This present GO and admins will never do that, you know why? Their lifestyles, prayers and preachings are opposite the messages and standard of Rev. Akindayomin, so they CAN NEVER PROMOTE THE MESSAGES OR BOOKS of Pa Akindayomin in their present spiritual condition. Do you know any church on earth where the messages and books of the church founder and immediate past General Overseer is completely eradicated from the same church with no trace? Only in RCCG.

If God should open the eyes of Pa Akindayomin in heaven to see the church he left on earth, he will be weeping now, so also heaven is weeping on RCCG. But you are celebrating RCCG as a successful church, popular and powerful even to Aso villa here in Abuja.

The case of Pa Akindayomin and Pastor Adeboye is like the case of David and Solomon in the Bible. David fought the good fight of Faith, so also did Pa Akindayomin - we know how Pa Akindayomin started and how he ended well. But Solomon did no fighting, rather he did many buildings, from building Temple of God, to his personal buildings, to several idols, even to Chemosh - incessant building project is one of the signs of backsliding in any church. Solomon had many things, many wives, many riches, etc. just as there are many buildings and many members today in RCCG.

You must be happy of being a member or pastor of RCCG, especially if you did not witness the RCCG of old; because there is freedom, prosperity and promises and better life. No stress of holiness, no discipline of indecent dress, no restitution, everything is bureaucracy, and as long you can comply with the rules and regulations, you have no limit. But that will lead to where?

This is not the covenant church God used His servant Rev. Akindayomin to found, this is not the same church I knew in 1990, this is not the church of the Bible. Today, I will find it hard to join RCCG, not because of their high standard of holiness again, but because of their low and poor standard of holiness.

You can be very zealous to condemn this article, to choose to defend your GO rather than defending the truth. If you were not in RCCG about 20 years ago, then you may lack understanding of the beginning of RCCG, go and ask the elders who witnessed the beginning and strength of RCCG as a true covenant church of undiluted truth and holiness of heavenly minded church.

If you know where God began with you, where God was pleased with you that He made COVENANT with you, then that may help you to know where you have missed it along the way, and where you need to trace you way back. God is waiting for you at the point He made covenant with you, and same thing with Pastor Adeboye and RCCG as a whole. Go back to the old faith, the narrow old path of FEW serious minded, and stop defending this broad MULTITUDE, MANY faulty modern way before it is too late. The Rapture of the saints is imminent!

" Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’— and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and Unclad— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your unclothedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.Therefore be zealous and repent."

FALSE KNOWLEDGE OF TODAY'S CHRISTIANITY
1 Timothy 6:20, “O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge”

The false knowledge in the Christianity of today are the teachings of purpose of life without purity of life, the teaching of principles of life without righteousness of life, and the teaching of prosperity without the priority of the preparation for the second coming of Christ Jesus.

Those who profess and preach these types of knowledge have strayed away from the truth concerning faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Timothy 6:21 - by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith.

The Bible says in the end time knowledge shall increase, but the unfortunate thing here is that the majority of the increased knowledge are false. Knowledge is very important, but what type of knowledge is it? People are seeking for knowledge these days with arid interest and the devil is busy feeding people with false knowledge through their churches and misled preachers.

Purpose of Life
One of the major messages and topics in churches, books, and Christian programs today is purpose of life; the preachers and teachers talk about the purpose of life without taking time to talk about the primary thing which is the priority. Purpose of life, whatsoever it may be, without purity of life is a problem with life. Any purpose in your life without the priority of living a life of purity is a pernicious and destructive pursuit. Before you can get your purpose of life right, you need to surrender your life to Christ Jesus the Author and Finisher of life, and make purity your lifestyle. God is our Creator and Giver of our life; for our lives to have meaning, we need to guide our lives by walking with Him, and the only means by which we can walk with God is purity.

The modern preachers teach people to discover on how to discover their purpose in this life and fulfill it. This is nothing but ungodly and satanic principle, it is opposite God's standard, it is the system of the world. When you are living your life under the sun, as a natural man, controlled by the influences under the sun, your passion, plan and pursuit will be to fulfill your own purpose in this life, but when you are saved and transformed from darkness into the life under the Son of God, your passion will be to discover God's purpose for your life.

There is difference between discovering your purpose in this life and discovering God's purpose for you life - they are as different as light and darkness.

The purpose of living or the purpose of life for every genuine child of God is not to make it in life, it is not to make money or meet our needs, it is not to make it in business or achieve great success in life; our purpose of life is not to buy the latest car or build the best house; but our primary purpose is to do the will of God on earth.

And so have you discovered the purpose of your life or you are being deceived by the disillusioned prosperity and modern preachers whose lifestyles, prayers, preaching are void of purity of life? Do not be among the many deceived but be wise to get your priority right by getting genuine salvation Jesus and your purpose of living to please God in His will, through His Word and for His work.

John 4:34, “Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.”

RESIST AND REJECT!

" Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7

*Resist the devil, don't reason with him.

*Refuse every sinful offer and demand, don't receive it.

*Reject every negative thought, dream and word, don't repeat it.

When the pressure of temptation of your past sinful life comes on you so heavily as if you can't resist or stand, just RELAX and REMEMBER that God's GRACE and POWER is there for you. The demon bringing that temptation cannot stay long, the pressure will recede and you will become stronger as you resist each temptation.

Titus 2:11-13, "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ."

DISTRACTION IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD
Luke 10:38-42: The Story Of Martha & Mary

This is a short study about two sisters with different perspectives and orientations. In the Book of Luke 10, it was written in verse 38, “Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.” From here we could see that Sister Martha was a disciple of Jesus Christ, and Jesus knew her house. Moreover, Martha had a sister with her, called Mary, she was also a disciple of Jesus, “And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word.” Luke 10:39.

When Jesus visited these two sisters in their house, they displayed different attitudes towards Him; while Mary diligently sat at the feet of Jesus Christ to learn the Word of God, Martha was busy with other stuffs. “And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.” Luke 10:39, 40.

Why would Martha get herself distracted right in the presence of Jesus while her younger sister was diligently learning at the feet of Jesus? Could she be doing something reasonable? Maybe was a very hospitable woman, busy preparing food for Jesus and His disciples? She was so busy with what she was doing that she couldn’t cope alone, and she was not happy with her sister leaving her alone to the plenty works, so she had to report Mary to Jesus and requested that Mary should come to join her.

As many others would say that Martha was busy preparing food for Jesus Christ to eat. So can we say Martha was wrong to have been busy preparing food for Jesus and His disciples? No! that would not be a wrong thing for Martha to do, but could that have cause her to be distracted? To human eyes, we may justify and excuse people for their actions; people may hide under justified activity to excuse themselves, but God see beyond the outward. To human eyes, we can say Martha was busy doing the right thing, but Jesus sees beyond the outward.

Can we blame Martha for being busy for the welfare of Jesus? Was that the cause of her busyness? The true picture was revealed in verse 41, “And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.” The issue with Martha was not not being busy for Jesus, she was not busy about preparing something for Jesus, but she was worried and troubled about “many things.” Many things? Where did she get many things in the name of serving? And why was she worried, even to the point of being troubled while her sister was hearing the Word of God? It was as a result of distraction from Jesus.

DEVOTED OR DISTRACTED?
Many Christians and ministers of God today claim to be devoted to God’s work while they are actually distracted from God in the real sense. Here are common distractions mistaken to be devotion to God:

Busy But No Fruit Bearing.
You are a worker, leader or minister in your church, you are so committed to God’s work that you don’t have enough time for your personal life. You are really busy for God’s work and many appreciate it, but what about your personal relationship with Jesus? Are you bearing the fruit of holiness and righteousness as you are busy working for God? Can your spouse, parents, friends, family members, workers, fellow students, co-workers, neighbors and maids at home see the fruit of godliness and holiness in your life? Or you are just busy without bearing fruit worthy of repentance? Busy working for God without bearing fruit worthy of your calling is a plain distraction and self deception. Until others see Christ in you, you cannot see Christ at the end.

Busy But Not Building.
Martha was so busy serving that she did not have time to learn at the feet of Jesus. If you are a worker or minister of God in your church or anywhere, and you are so busy with different programs, preparations and meetings that you don’t have good time for personal Bible reading, Bible Study and good time to pray, because many things are in your care, and many people are waiting for you, it means you are distracted and not devoted. It is of necessity to build yourself up daily in the Lord with good time for personal Bible Study and prayer, before you can build others in the kingdom of God. The day you get so busy that you skip your personal devotional time in order to serve, is a day of distraction from God, even if people are blessed mightily in your ministration or serving.

Busy But Guilty
The system of many churches today has turned to mere serving without caring if the services are acceptable by God. Many Christians work from Monday to Friday, they don’t have time for their family throughout the week, and Saturday and Sunday which they need to spend time with their family, they get themselves busy with several activities and meetings in their churches. As a godly woman, how will you be so busy in your church that you forget to go home early to prepare food for your husband and kids? As a godly man, how will you be too busy and indispensable in your church that you don’t have time for your wife and with your children on Sunday? Sunday is a day meant to (i) serve God, (ii) rest, and (iii) have time with family and friends. That was the original purpose of Sabbath. Exodus 31:15. When we are too busy to fulfill these, then we have become distracted.

DEDICATED OR DISTRACTED?
You have a career or a business; you have children to cater for, these are good, but when you are too busy serving at work or at home that you don’t have good time for God in daily Bible reading and prayer, then you have been distracted. People may say you are a dedicated mother, others may see you as a diligent business person or career person, but before God, you a distracted person, as long you don’t have time with God before you rush out in the morning, and you are too weak and sleepy in the evening.

Whatever our professions, our positions, or our places, what we must daily put as priority is our personal time with God before anything. No matter how busy the schedule or situation, do not be distracted from your daily reading of God’s word and good time to pray. A day you rush time without time with God is a distracted day which can lead to spiritual destruction.

When you take God first in your day, your day is secured with God. People observed John Wesley that the days he would have a lot to do were the days he would spend more time in his quiet time in the morning; because he knew without the help of God, nothing would be achieved. What can we achieve from the day without God’s help? What can you receive if God does not give you?

Your personal relationship with God is more important than anything. You will be wise to care for your eternal soul more than your temporal business, job, or whatever. Because you can survive if all those things are taken from you, but one things is very important that should not be taken away from you, and that is your personal relationship with God for eternal life.

Luke 10:41, 42, “And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

THE TEST OF TRUST
Exodus 15:22, “So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.”

Before God can entrust greater things into your hands, either in your personal life or in the ministry, He will first teach you how you must trust Him with all your heart, and then test if you will eventually trust Him with all your life. The Lord taught and tested the children of Israel in the wilderness, but unfortunately majority of them failed and so they fell in the wilderness.

Do you know that God knows your needs before you are aware of them? Yes He does! God knows you needed a life partner even before you saw the need for it, He knew you would need children when that was like the least thing you thought about. As a woman, God gave you womb since childhood, even when you did not need the womb, because God knew you would need the womb to conceive; God did not give you womb after you are married. And so it’s applicable to all our needs. God knows what we will need and He has made provision for them even when we do not see the needs.

God brought the children of Israel from Egypt to journey in the wilderness to the Promised Land, as all-knowing-God, would He not have known that they would need water to drink in the wilderness? But God wanted to teach and test them to trust Him, so He delayed the provision of the water. If the children of Israel were to trust God, they would have cast their need before God in prayer, who just delivered them from the Red Sea and from the bondage of Egypt; but if they were to doubt and disbelieve God, they would complain. Unfortunately, they doubted God, and so they complained. “ Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. 24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” Exodus 15:23, 24.

The reason why God delayed in any aspect of your life as a child of God is not because He is trying to denying you, He is not trying to disappoint or destroy you, but He wants to test your love for Him, because He has a special copy of what you need for you, and He wants to know if you actually deserve it. In such a delayed period, if truly you love and trust God, you will keep praying and keep patience before God, and keep working for God. You will not allow the need to drain your love for God, you will not allow the urgent needs to discourage you from working for God with all your strength, and you will not allow the need to drift you into sin against God.

From the Genesis of the Bible, wherever there is a delay for children of God, it means there is a peculiar portion on the way; what it means is that, delay usually serve as a sign for something special for the people of God, from Abraham to Zacharias. In the New Testament, this man called Zacharias was a just man, serving God. He married a godly woman called Elizabeth from a good home of Levi. They were both serving God. Now, who do you think is suppose to get the fastest blessing? Is it not the families that are serving God? Yes, but not always the way we expect it.

Luke 1:5-7, "There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years."

Probably Elizabeth was a virgin, kept herself for her husband, no premarital sex and no abortion; while her friends were messing around, she was only serving God and keeping herself. She was faithful and fervent in the Lord. Now she is married and no child. But her friends who were messing around before marriage, whom she was preaching the word of God to, were easily having their babies in their different matrimonial homes; these friends committed several abortions and slept with so many men, yet they don’t have problem with childbearing. But why is Mrs Elizabeth Zachariah barren while her unbelieving friends are bearing many children? The truth is that all her friends can give birth to many children but none of them can give birth to John the Baptist, the greatest man born of woman.

Only Elizabeth could give birth to John the Baptist, because her womb was reserved for that special child. But God would not just give John the Baptist to any woman to give birth to, God would want to see if Sister Elizabeth really deserve it. So, God’s delay is to determine if you deserve the best.

Can God entrust you with the best? Then you will have to trust Him with every bit of your life in the time of trial. Zacharias and Elizabeth kept serving God even when they were having delay, they were not discouraged; they did not compromise and they did not allow the delay to distract them. "So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord." Luke 1:8,9. It is actually in serving God during the delay that God serves you with the best.

What is your delay? No job? No healing yet? No spouse? No child or what? As long you are a genuine child of God, God is reserving you for the best, get it clear. So, don’t be discouraged. Everything works together to good for them who love God. But you may think, “But is there any good that can come out of my worst situation? Things have gone beyond retrieve, I’m embarrassed and ashamed already, it is already sealed and no solution anymore, all I care for now is just to make heaven, after all”

Beloved, your thinking is humanly right, but bibically wrong. From the history of the world till the world will come to an end, there is no crime as worst, as evil and terrible as the killing of Jesus Christ, to kill the only sinless Man ever born and ever existed on earth; for creatures to use their created hands to slap their Creator and crucify Him on the cross in a painful death. Oh how terrible! But out of the worst historical event, God brought out the greatest historical blessing – salvation of humanity. So, if God could bring good thing out of the killing of Jesus, if God could make the greatest crime on earth to bring about the greatest blessing of justification, then the same God can work good thing out of your worst condition at the moment, if only you can trust Him and stay faithful to Him.

Romans 8:28, 31, 32, 35, 38, 39.
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword? For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God’s delay is to determine if you deserve the best. So wait, and I say, wait on Him! Just wait and trust Him, and see the wonders of God in your life.

Stay blessed in Christ

THE REDEEMED CHURCH AND GOD ON OPPOSITE PATHS

A proverb in Nigeria says, "When a plantain is spoiling, we say no, it is only ripping well" An unripe plantain is rich and contains several nutrients, and when it begins to ripe, it looses its nutrients and could cause health damages, but then it becomes finer, and sweeter; it becomes more presentable and attractive. The same thing is applicable with RCCG and many churches today. But the focus is on RCCG here. The founder of this church, Rev. Akindayomin, a man of holiness and righteousness, God called him and gave him a covenant church, that is Redeemed Christian Church of God - RCCG.

Then the church was unpopular because of its strict stand on holiness and righteousness. They were called "Gospel church" those who preached holiness and stood for it. They were not after materials stuffs, their sisters dressed godly, not flamboyantly, all of them were content with little and sharing with all.When their choir ministered, people bowed their heads in sober mood by the heavenly touch of the singing ministration, not like the jumping, shouting and crazy yelling with entertainment choir of today. Then companies were writing the church for employment because of the faithfulness and diligence of their members. I would not have joined them because of their standard of holiness since I was not saved then. That was the RCCG I knew when I was in Ilesha, Osun state in 1989 to early 90s.

But today, RCCG is more popular, richer and everywhere, in fact, they are proud of their parishes in every corner of Nigeria and many other countries, they are the fastest and still growing church, beautiful auditoriums everywhere. In Abuja here where I live, RCCG is like the richest church. But where are their godly virtues of old? They have exchanged their spiritual riches for materials and financial riches, they boast of financial riches while they are spiritually miserable. I lived in Redemption camp for full 6 months in 2010, and with what I saw in the dept of RCCG - the corruption, sexual immorality, unfaithfulness, etc. among the core leaders to the least members, I can categorically say this church is spiritually poor. A church where a music director wanted to sleep with a sister choir before permitting her to sing praise and worship at the Holy Ghost night? And God cannot open the eyes of the GO to discern or detect sins among people close to him and rebuke it openly as Apostle Peter did in Acts chapter 5, the GO can only discern blessings and upcoming prosperity?

Why has RCCG changed to opposite of where they stood before? Or why did Pastor Adeboye changed the landmark God gave to Rev. Akindayomin, which he upheld till he died? And you, you who were saved and brought up in the old faith when you were young, in secondary school and university fellowships, now you have joined the modern church system and worldly dress and have abandoned your beginning, seeing it as old school?

The Bible standard has gone elsewhere because of crave for population. If you are a member, worker or leader in RCCG, how many messages or books of Rev. Akindayomin do you have or have you read or listen to? Maybe none! RCCG is the only church where materials and works of the immediate past GO is evacuated almost completely. As if the books and messages of their founder who also was the immediate past leader were totally removed. None of his books or messages are promoted or reprinted, at least for every member to have access to the teachings and messages of the founder of their church. This present GO and admins will never do that, you know why? Their lifestyles, prayers and preachings are opposite the messages and standard of Rev. Akindayomin, so they CAN NEVER PROMOTE THE MESSAGES OR BOOKS of Pa Akindayomin in their present spiritual condition. Do you know any church on earth where the messages and books of the church founder and immediate past General Overseer is completely eradicated from the same church with no trace? Only in RCCG.

If God should open the eyes of Pa Akindayomin in heaven to see the church he left on earth, he will be weeping now, so also heaven is weeping on RCCG. But you are celebrating RCCG as a successful church, popular and powerful even to Aso villa here in Abuja.

The case of Pa Akindayomin and Pastor Adeboye is like the case of David and Solomon in the Bible. David fought the good fight of Faith, so also did Pa Akindayomin - we know how Pa Akindayomin started and how he ended well. But Solomon did no fighting, rather he did many buildings, from building Temple of God, to his personal buildings, to several idols, even to Chemosh - incessant building project is one of the signs of backsliding in any church. Solomon had many things, many wives, many riches, etc. just as there are many buildings and many members today in RCCG.

You must be happy of being a member or pastor of RCCG, especially if you did not witness the RCCG of old; because there is freedom, prosperity and promises and better life. No stress of holiness, no discipline of indecent dress, no restitution, everything is bureaucracy, and as long you can comply with the rules and regulations, you have no limit. But that will lead to where?

This is not the covenant church God used His servant Rev. Akindayomin to found, this is not the same church I knew in 1990, this is not the church of the Bible. Today, I will find it hard to join RCCG, not because of their high standard of holiness again, but because of their low and poor standard of holiness.

You can be very zealous to condemn this article, to choose to defend your GO rather than defending the truth. If you were not in RCCG about 20 years ago, then you may lack understanding of the beginning of RCCG, go and ask the elders who witnessed the beginning and strength of RCCG as a true covenant church of undiluted truth and holiness of heavenly minded church.

If you know where God began with you, where God was pleased with you that He made COVENANT with you, then that may help you to know where you have missed it along the way, and where you need to trace you way back. God is waiting for you at the point He made covenant with you, and same thing with Pastor Adeboye and RCCG as a whole. Go back to the old faith, the narrow old path of FEW serious minded, and stop defending this broad MULTITUDE, MANY faulty modern way before it is too late. The Rapture of the saints is imminent!

" Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’— and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and Unclad— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your unclothedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.Therefore be zealous and repent." Revelation 3:17-19

PASSING THROUGH PROBLEM
Matthew 26:53, “ Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?”

Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, during His earthly ministration, was in a tough situation, people were wandering why God would not send immediate help to His dear Son, and Peter was trying to give immediate shortcut. But Jesus Christ made them to know, "Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?" Jesus Christ was not after the immediate solution or miracle, but to fulfill God's purpose, He said, " How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” Matthew 26:53, 54.

You are passing through problems and difficulties; you have been praying that God should solve or remove the problem, but things have not changed. Then you are perplexed because God doesn't answer your prayer as you desire. You are so disturbed, thinking God does not love you? Thinking Jesus Christ is ignoring you? Do you think Jesus cannot talk to His Father and provide immediate solution? But how then will the scripture be fulfilled in your life for good?

In your present difficulties, do you think Jesus does not care for you so much? Do you think He does not have the power to send millions of angels to attend to you? But how will God’s special purpose be fulfilled in your life? What really matters to Jesus in your life is not the present problem you are passing through but for God’s peculiar purpose to come to pass in your life.

God planned the salvation of the world through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, no other way. If Jesus did not pass through Calvary to the cross, then there wouldn’t have been salvation for the world. In like manner God planned the promotion and greatness of Joseph by passing through problems and prison, if he didn’t pass through prison, he would not have come to palace; if he had compromised in sin at the Potiphar’s house, if he had been discouraged and gave up along the way, that would have brought God’s purpose for his life to an end.

And now is your turn. You are passing through several problems in your personal life, marriage, ministry, business, academy, finance; those problems are not God’s purpose for your life, they are just a passage by which you pass into God’s purpose in your life. God’s part is to be faithful to His promise, He did not need to show you the problem from the beginning, He didn’t show Joseph either, because He is not concern about the temporal problem, His concern is to fulfill His purpose which He has promised you. Your own part is to patiently wait and stay faithful to Him. Now, the question is, will you complain or compromise into sin for quick relief? Or will you continue and let God’s purpose come to pass in your life?

Why do you complain as if Jesus is not able to ask His Father for immediate provision for you? But how will the purpose of God come to pass in your life? You must care for God’s purpose coming to pass in you’re your life, not complaining about the present condition which will soon pass away. It is not easy to hold on in this present life when everything is moving fast, but since God controls time and season, our waiting on Him will not make our season to expire until His special promises comes to pass. He is never too late. You may say, “But it is late already, time has really gone on me.” The truth is that, when we wait on God, He turns the “late” to “latest” since He is in charge of the universe. Don't you know?

Do not compromise God’s scripture, do not compromise God’s standard; persevere in prayer and persist in purity. Do not yield to sinful suggestion, opportunities or shortcut to get yourself a temporal relief that will result to regret.

As God is working great things for you which eyes have not seen, He is only making you to pass through situation to make you strong, He is only making you to experience difficulties to do you good at the end. If you wait faithfully on God and serve Him, the fire you pass through will not burn you but refine you. The end result is what really matter, and God is the Beginning and the End. So wait on Him, watch in prayer, Bible reading and godliness, and working for Him; no complaining and no compromising into sin.

Psalm 66:10-12
For You, O God, have tested us;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
11 You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
12 You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

MODERN IDOLATRY 1: LOVE OF SPORT
Soccer, basketball, baseball, Tennis, etc are not sin but the love of them is a sin of idolatry. Satan has trapped so many people, so many Christians under the bondage of this deity, god of soccer and other sports through their inordinate affection which we think does not matter, as just normal fun.

People are ignorant that this strong, inordinate affection is inspired by satanic spirits. The Bible says people “whose minds the god of this age has blinded” 2 Corinthians 4:4; gods of sport are part of these gods.

You know the different between to like and to love? To like is to have a light affection for something – not a must, if it happens, if it comes, if you have the time, good and if not, good – that is to like and not a sin towards sport.

But to love is a strong affection – it must happen, it must come, I have to get the time - that is an inordinate affection when it is towards sport. So when your affection towards sport becomes a strong affection, something under a must, then it has become an idol to you.

Symptoms of Idolizing sports
(1) When your interest towards your favorite sport or clubs is equal to or has gone beyond your interest towards God's word and prayer, then it has become an idol to you. People are following their favorite club matches more than they follow their Bible reading and Bible study. If you can skip your church program in order to watch a match, if you can omit your personal devotions so as to watch a match, if you can cancel a visitation to minister to people just to watch a sport match, then you are under the web of modern idolatry.

(2) When you discuss sport with people more than you discuss Bible or share gospel with people, then you are already trapped with idolatry of sport. The careless Christians find it easy to discuss their favorite sports and clubs with families, friends and even strangers instead of sharing Bible with them; that is the end time device of Satan of distraction, he has taken away evangelism from the mouth of believers and given them sport talks in return. The Bible says in Malachi 3:16,
"Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another,
And the Lord listened and heard them;
So a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord
And who meditate on His name."

So what do you share with one another? If you find it easier to share sport with people more than gospel, then you under the web of modern idolatry.

(3) If you paste picture or sticker of a sport of club on your vehicle, house, etc, it means you have become addicted and obsessed with that sport. It is a sin to set image of anybody or anything on your house or on your car. You can paste sticker with gospel message on your car to minister grace to people; but pasting picture of a club or person is a sign of idolizing the person or club.

Here is a testimony of a man whom God gave a vision about Football and fans.

"I was then shown many teams and their supporters on their way to hell through the tunnels. The first team I saw was Chelsea Football Club, they were being led by Ivanovic, and followed by the other players in a straight line. They all had divers’ items in their hands; some had incense, oil, sacred rings and other things. I was then shown how all those who followed and supported this team with their hearts, were all following them in the tunnel to hell fire." - Emmanuel Agyarko

Sport is not a sin, but when you love it with all your heart, then it becomes a sin of idolatry. Only God we should love with all our heart, with strong affection and attention; and we should also love people, but only in the way of God and according to the word of God.

Mark 12:29-31, "Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these."

If you find yourself in this category of sport idol, do not harden your heart, but thank God for His mercy, repent and retrace your way to God.

IS RESTITUTION IN THE BIBLE?
"then he shall confess the sin which he has committed. He shall make restitution for his trespass in full, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to the one he has wronged. 8 But if the man has no relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, in addition to the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him." Numbers 5:7, 8.

Restitution is making right what we did wrong before we are saved. Restitution is not an optional, it is not a human ideology or theology, but it is a Bible command, a Bible standard!

WHEN TO DO RESTITUTION?
"then he shall confess the sin which he has committed. He shall make restitution for his trespass in full" Numbers 5:7

Restitution is to be made after you have confessed your sins to God and you are saved. Restitution is not a topic to argue with people about, because if you are not yet saved, you need not to bother yourself about restitution, you need to first confess your sins to God and forsake them before you move to higher level of restitution in your Christian life; and because if you are saved, you need no one to hammer on you before you are convinced about restitution. Conviction for restitution is natural to those who have experienced genuine salvation. When you are genuinely, the Spirit of God will come to dwell inside of you, and it is the same Holy Spirit that will teach you and convince you about restitution without anybody forcing you.

WHAT IF?
"But if the man has no relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, in addition to the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him." Numbers 5:8

Restitution is restoring and returning things that were wrongly taken or possessed; it is reconciling with people we offend or who offend us, revealing lies and secret sins or covered-up, and repaying those we owe bad debts. So what if we can't retrace the person to return or repay? In such case, the Bible says we should trace their relatives and pay to them, and if we can trace anyone related to them we should pay it to the Lord, maybe into your church offering box. The Lord knows how to repay the untraced person.

BUT MY CHURCH DOES BELIEVE OR EMPHASES ON RESTITUTION
The truth is that, a church that does not believe restitution does not have or believe genuine salvation, because restitution is a confirmation of a genuine salvation, so if your church and your pastor do not believe restitution as a must, they actually do not have genuine salvation and they don't teach genuine salvation. If a Christian does not believe restitution as a mandate, you may need not to argue with such Christian or pastor, he has not experienced genuine salvation. It is not man that convinces a man on restitution, it is the Holy Spirit that convinces, convicts and compels only the genuinely saved people to do restitution. Arguing with people about restitution is a waste of time, instead, first share with them about genuine salvation.

AND IF?
If you die or the rapture takes place with pending or postponing restitution in your life, you will miss heaven. Undone restitution of a child of God unmakes him for heaven.

COUNSEL? YES!
There is need for biblical counsel before many restitution should be made, though many churches and ministers cancel people's lives with their unbiblical counsel on restitution, but you need a godly counselor to give you a godly counsel. If the Spirit of the Lord is laying on your mind and leading you on any issue to restitute, or if you need clarification on any matter of restitution, you can please contact us in this ministry for biblical counsel and prayer.

Onyiibazz:
Bro i dont know anything like satanic oppression. The satan character was only created by christianity to be the scape goat, the one that will always take the blame while god takes the praise. And about sleeplessness, the only time i had that was when i was when i was rounding up preparations for my project defence. And for addiction, i control my behavious!

You don't know anything about Satan, you don't care about Jesus, you don't have sleepless night. And for how long will you deceive yourself? To eternity? And why do you call me bro? What do you mean by "bro" Is that a new way of addressing a stranger with estrange ideology?

dsquare33:
You only wanted to quote me out of context.I remember I made mentioned of some bad eggs not all.The OP made it look as if Pastor E.A Adeboye is the Problem RCCG is having today and of Celestial Church you mentioned I don't have problem with them but the OP's assertiveness of apportioning blame to the G.O.Asides was there no Judas amongst the disciples of Jesus Christ.Go and read my post again.

Your June 28th post is still on your profile, maybe you can read it again. You said, "if only the church leaders had done their assignment by teaching the true sound doctrine,but instead almost all of them had gone in the way of Balaam,they are building monuments for themselves rather than building the church hence the moral decadence." ALMOST ALL OF THEM, that means 11 out of 12. When there are 11 Judas out of 12 disciples, then there is a problem with the leader and that church, but it is normal to have 1 Judas out of 12 disciples. The problem as you rightly said on June 28th is ALMOST ALL OF THEM. Where are you standing?

Onyiibazz:
Your jesus should first of all reconcile the following that has been causing confusion among his different denominations before looking for who to set free;
1. Salvation by grace or by works?
2. Tithing, right or wrong?
3. God a trinity?
4. Did jesus die on a cross or a stake?
5. Should christians dress indecently since serving god is a thing of the spirit?
Please help me ask jesus to set the above records right and a host of others before looking for who to set free

Tell me, since you are living your life void of Jesus Christ, are you now free from satanic oppression? Are you free from sleeplessness and addiction? Are you free? Your answer will determine my next response? Why are you running when no one is chasing you?
