PROSPERITY PREACHERS

"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." 2 Peter 2:3

The prosperity preachers will exploit you with deceptive words because you are covetous of quick money, because you too like prosperity and deception of freedom without holiness, because you too enjoy the deceptive declarations of breakthrough, prosperity and unlimited favour.

You cannot be deceived with something or by somebody if you are not covetous of something.

These pastors, bishops, daddy G.O, evangelists, prophets, etc exploit you to enrich themselves and they live luxurious, extravagant lifestyle like the rich man in the parable of Jesus. Where did they get their riches? From you, your sowing seeds, prophetic offering, expensive school fees, etc. They abuse you spiritually, physically, financially, and mentally.

The Bible says the prosperity preachers will exploit you with deceptive words simply because of your covetousness for worldly things and care. The only weapons against prosperity preachers are the virtues of godliness and contentment, if you are saved and possess godliness and contentment, the prosperity pastors cannot deceive you with their preaching and prayer.

"useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself."

"Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
- 1 Timothy 6:5-10

GOD’S POWER IN ACTION
“And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.” Acts 5:12

Jesus Christ left the disciples with the power of Holy Spirit to help them accomplish the ministry He had given unto them. The power of Holy Spirit is not just in word, in writing but in action as evident in the ministries of the apostles. Their preaching and prayers were backed up with the action of the Holy Spirit. The early church experienced the power of God in action

What are the purposes of the power of God in action? Is it to show that the ministers are powerful? No, the manifestation of God’s power is not to make us proud or to idolize a man but to humble us that He can use even us. According to the Acts 5:12-33, here are the reasons for God’s power in action:

TO LEAD MULTITUDE UNTO JESUS CHRIST Acts 5:14
The manifestation of God’s power in action is not to make name or pull crowd for nothing, it is to lead the crowd to Jesus Christ with genuine salvation, not lead them to our church. God’s power is unto salvation, which is the primary purpose of the manifestation of God’s power. The power of God is to deliver us from the bondage of Satan and sin. If you claim the power of God is in action in your ministry and multitudes are not being turned to Christ through genuine salvation, then it means you are either using your own power or misusing the power of God.

Genuine salvation is not just to make or answer altar call; it is to repent and starts a new life in Jesus Christ. Calling altar call without first taking good time to explain salvation and repentance to the people is a mere act of fulfilling all righteousness.

God’s power in action is not just to perform miracles; it is to lead many to salvation. Experiencing miracles, signs and wonders in the life of sin is a miserable life. The power of God in action is to convict of sins Acts 2:37, it is to convert us from sinners to saints Acts 2:41, and to make us instruments of turning others to Christ Acts 9:15.

When the primary purpose of manifesting God’s power in our lives is to turn multitude to genuine salvation in Jesus Christ, we will not be seeking power from Satan to boost ministry. Any Christian or Christian ministry who lacks the understanding of the primary purpose of God’s power in action will miss everything.

TO DELIVER MULTITUDE FROM BONDAGE OF SICKNESS AND SATAN Acts 5:16.
The power of God in action is to put Satan to an open shame, to destroy the works of Satan, which was the reason of Jesus’ manifestation. “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 3:8.

Jesus Christ manifests His power in our lives to set us free from the bondage of sin and to destroy every work of Satan in our lives. Where the power of God is in action, Satan’s works are destroyed, where the power of God is in action, Satan is put to shame and permanent silence. Where the power of God abounds, sickness, curses, and every satanic work will disappear.

If we should ask, why do we have children of God who are still under the bondage of satanic attack? The simple answer is because such believers lack understanding. Many children of God pray, fast, go to mountain, go for deliverance, yet still under the torment of Satan; many exercise strong faith, yet nothing happens. All these happen as a result of ignorance. Deliverance from sickness or satanic attack does not come through faith in your prayer, through faith in a man or woman of God or through faith in a particular church or mountain. Deliverance from sickness and satanic attacks comes only through faith in the name of Jesus Christ. It is not the prayer you pray that will put God’s power in action, it is not a man of God that will put God’s power in action, but it is name of Jesus Christ that put God’s power into action. Here is the word of God:

“Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God” Acts 3:6-8

“Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed. 12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?” Acts 3:11, 12.

It is not our prayer, power or perfection that moves God’s power into action. Here is what Apostle Peter said, “And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.” Acts 3:16

What this means is that you can pray and fast without God’s power in action if you faith is in your prayer – how fireful, how fasting or long you pray. You can lack God’s power in your life if your faith is in a “powerful man of God” even when Apostle Peter said “it is not by our power” You can walk with God with a perfect heart and still remain in bondage of satanic attack if you lack strong faith in the name of Jesus Christ.

It is funny that many Christians today, including ministers, think that praying in the name of Jesus Christ alone is not enough, that you need to speak in tongues, that you need to use anointing oil, that you need to use mantles, and others. But are we seeing greater signs and wonders now than when the believers were using only the name of Jesus Christ?

When your faith and focus is solely in the name of Jesus Christ, you will see His name as the only force that can spark up the power of God into action.

EXTENDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH Acts 5:19
God puts His power in action in our lives and ministry so as to extend His kingdom on earth, to reach out the gospel of Jesus Christ to more people; to destroy every obstacle and reach more people with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. God’s power in action is not to build an empire in the name of ministry, it is not to become fame or popular, it is for the gospel of Jesus Christ to the glory of God.

To experience the power of God in action in your life, in your ministry, in your career or business, you must have a right mind about the power, you must rededicate your life to Jesus Christ in genuine repentance and forsaking your sins, you must be ready to use the power in the ministry, the profit and blessing in the business and career for the gospel of Jesus Christ and only to the glory of God, not your own.

Turning many to righteousness in Jesus is the primary purpose of God’s power in action, deliverance from sickness and satanic attack is the secondary, and extending the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the earth for the glory of God is the end result.

FLOW OF ANOINTING AND BLESSING IN BACKSLIDING. Part II

CONTINUOUS MANNA
Manna was a food miraculously supplied by God to the Israelites during their years of wandering in the wilderness. God continuously provided manna for them for forty years without stopping even when they maliciously sinned and turned against Him in the wilderness. Exodus 16:35, " And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan."

The facts that the goodness and provisions of God continues in your life does not proves you are a candidate of heaven. The children of Israel committed sins against God that He was grossly displeased with them but He kept supplying manna to them. The flow of God’s provision and supplies that continues in your life or ministry, the financial, material blessings are not evidence of living right with God.

PROVISION OF QUAIL
Quail was a meat God miraculously provided for the children of Israel after they complained of eating manna alone. Though God was so much incensed with their lustful request, yet He provided the meat for them. Number 11:32, "And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers); and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp."

Answer of provisions from God is not an indication that God is well pleased with you or you are still His child. The children of Israel lusted for meat after God has satisfied them with manna, this desire and request originated from lust and covetousness, yet God answered and granted them. You can receive permissive will and answer from God, but that doesn't implies you asked aright because problem will always follow permissive will and answer from God. God does not want you to get something, He does not want you to marry the person, He does not want you to go somewhere or He does not want you to start a business, but you insist with fasting and prayer; God may permit you, but problem will soon proceed therein.

God’s provision, blessings and goodness flowing into the life of a Christian cannot stop God from punishing him of his sin at the end. God can still continue to bless a man even if he had committed or still committing sin, and that cannot stop God from judging him according to his sin if such man does not repent and forsake the sin. The children of Israel lusted for meat, God provided the meat for them, and few moment after He punished them for asking for the same meat. Numbers 11:33, "But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was aroused against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague."

In your sin, God can be blessing you massively, you can be experiencing protection, provisions and preservation, but that does not mean you will not go to hell fire if you die now, and it does not mean you will make rapture if it happens now. The children of Israel were enjoying God's provision and protection, but majority of them could not enter the Promised Land, because of their sin. The end time false teaching that if you are righteous, you will enjoy prosperity or prosperity is a sign of righteousness, such teachings are from the pit of hell. You can be flourishing as a Christian in your business and finances, you can have the flow of anointing in your life as a minister, but without present and persistent holiness, you will end up in hell after all. So it happened to majority of the children of Israel, they got heavenly manna, and they perished and went to hell, because of unrepented sins.

MOSES' STRIKING
When the children of Israel complained of thirsty in the wilderness, God told Moses to speak to the rock before their eyes, Numbers 20:8. But instead, Moses disobeyed and struck the rock. Yet God answered and provided the water immediately, in fact the water came out abundantly. Numbers 20:7, 8, "Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 8 “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.”

Numbers 20:11, "Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank."

As a minister, you can be carrying out ungodly projects in your ministry, building multimillion edifice while many members are suffering of lack of accommodation and food to eat, yet you can still experience abundant success and progress. Your church can build university with expensive fees, and yet the presence of God still continues. Your church can be unfaithful to the biblical way of using tithes and offering, and still experience God's presence abundantly. Your pastors and church can be using different ungodly administrative systems, preaching heresies, and still continue to experience signs and wonders.

As a person, you can be displeasing God, doing things that are not approved by the Lord, and yet things will be working for you. You know what? Moses disobeyed God and miracle followed his disobedience, but he was disqualified for entering the Promised Land. Your disobedience may not stop God's blessing in your life, and as a minister of God or church, your disobedience, selfishness, lies, worldliness, indulgences, unfaithfulness to spending offerings and extravagant lifestyle may not necessarily hinder God's flowing of anointing and flourishing of blessings in your lives and church, but they will definitely disqualify you from making heaven if you do not repent now.

If a minister of God sins or begin to live or teach enormously, he may still continue to experience signs and wonders and the anointing flowing, but his name has been removed from the book of life and he no longer qualify for heaven, yet the anointing may keep on flowing with miracles, signs and wonders. After God answered Moses’s prayer with miracle of water supply even in his disobedience, God sentenced him in His judgment in the following verse of Numbers. 20:12, "Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”

God is not a respecter of any man, even the greatest man of God on earth in the Old Testament, in the person of Moses, was judged by God. God is not partial to overlook or cover sin of anyone, minister or members. He could not overlook the sin of a man after His heart like David, but gave due punishment. So any minister or Christian who commits sin, who teaches or lives in an unbiblical manner may still experience continuous flowing of anointing and blessings but he is playing with eternal judgment and condemnation if he does not repent now.

Jesus said, “Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in your name, cast out demons in your name, and done many wonders in your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you, depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!." Matthew 7:22, 23.

FLOW OF ANOINTING AND BLESSING IN BACKSLIDING. Part I

"Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’" Matthew 5:22, 23.

Can we say a pastor or minister is a genuine minister of God and right with God as long as there is flow of anointing in his ministration? Can we also say a Christian is a genuine child of God simply because they are experiencing God's blessings and goodness? The Bible answer is no! Many are being deceived by what they see. The fact that a minister or preacher still experiences flow of gifts, miracles and anointing does not mean he is right with God. The same thing is applicable to every Christian, you are experiencing God's favor, fortune, blessing, healing, and miracles and so on, that do not qualify you to be a heavenly qualified Christian.

The signs and wonder in the ministrations of your Bishop, G.O, G.S, Apostle or Pastor is not an evident that they are still right with God. And the fact that you are witnessing God’s blessing and faithfulness in your life does not mean you are right with God. Here are examples from the Bible:

SOLOMON WISDOM
King Solomon wisdom was a gift from God for him to fulfill and accomplish God’s purpose for his life. But when he was drifted into sin of adultery and eventually backslide into idolatry and cruelty, this gift of wisdom still remained, even to his surprise. Ecclesiastes 2:9, "So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me."

The fact that minister of God is still manifesting some gifts God which they received at the beginning of their ministries, it does not implies they are still right with God. The fact that ministers are still experiencing the flow of anointing, prophesying, casting out demons, doing wonders and different miracles do not indicate they are still in right relationship with God; and the flowing of anointing in a minister of God or manifestation of their gifts is not a reason for you to copy their lifestyles, by concluding in your mind that God has already approved of them and whatever they do is right; if you do so, you may follow their lifestyles and doctrines which are opposite to the word of God, and find yourself to blame at the end.

I do baffle at how many Christians, including preachers, are running after fallible human begins as their mentors, by so doing, they pattern their lives, their ministries just as the person they set as mentor; they believe their mentors are right with God since they see flow of anointing, and by so doing they follow and copy some ungodly lifestyles and teachings of the mentors. Jesus alone is to be made a mentor, not any preacher or person, because only Jesus Christ is always right and never wrong; the Word of God is enough for us to take as life and ministerial Mentor.

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

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

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

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

The prosperity preachers who center on riches, and the problematic preachers whose messages and prayers concern on the death of enemies “fall down and die”, they are both in the same category of ignorance.

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

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

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

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

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

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

But if you chose to be among the few wise, then center your priority, purpose of life, prayer and preaching mostly and majorly on salvation into the kingdom of God and serving God in righteousness. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Colossians 3:2; Philippians 3:20

WHAT IS SECRET SIN? ....Please READ this!
"in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel." Romans 2:16

Secret sin occurs in the life of a person who has experienced salvation of Jesus Christ, who has confessed and repented from sins, but along the way keeps one or few sins secret. Secret sin hinders many Christians from moving forward in their spiritual growth, it blocks Christians from experiencing the power, anointing and blessings of God. Secret sin can be by an individual Christian or involve two or more Christians. Secret sin be in a Christian family, group or church.

There are two types of secret sin: Past and present, or now and then.

PAST BUT PRESENT
....in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ. Romans 2:16.
Secret sin is a sin you committed before you gave your life to Jesus, or before you rededicated your life to Jesus, though you have repented and confessed it to God, and you have stopped it, but you are keeping it secret from men. Secret sin is a sin you keep secret, even if it is in the past, even if it has stopped, but as long you keep is secret from men, it is a secret sin - though it is in the past but it is presently haunting you and standing against you. As long you keep a past sin secret, what you are actually doing is that you are making it fresh and present.

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

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

From this above Bible verse, Paul did three things which every child of God must do: 1, He renounced the hidden things - those sinful and sinful things of the past were repented and rejected by Paul.

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

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

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

PRESENT AND PERVERTED
Another secret sin is a sin you commit and hide after you are saved, the sin you are secretly committing which you do not want people to see; but even men do not see, God sees. Anything you do secretly which you do not want people to see or hear, that you know it will not honor you if people know, that is secret sin. It may be an habit like masturbation, fornication, or other sexual immorality; it may be other sins which you are committing and keeping secretly. It may also be a lifestyle which you keep secret from people, like drinking, smoking, lying, anger, jealousy, malice, etc.

If you keep any secret sin of any form, such sin will be following you till the day of judgment, it will hinder you from making the rapture, and from entering heaven. But if you open up now before God and men, then that sin will go ahead of you to judgment, it will be condemned by God's mercy and you will be justified. But as long you keep it secret because of the fear of what people will say or how they will respond, the sin continues to quietly follow you to put you to eternal shame on the judgment day.

So what is your decision? Do you want to open up and put your sins to open shame or you want to cover up and allow your sin to put you to open and eternal shame? No matter how small the sin may be, it will surely find you out on the judgment day. The choice is your!

1 Timothy 5:24, "Some men’s sins are clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later."

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

AND WHO IS A HARLOT? Please read this!!!

Genesis 34:31, "But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”

We tend to term or tag a harlot or prostitute to a woman who usually has sex with different men for money. But the reality is that, being a prostitute is far more than being a street or hotel sex worker. From the light of the Word of God, in the sight of God, a woman can be a prostitute or harlot without being a regular sex worker or without having sex for money; a woman can be a confirmed Prostitute and still looks and behaves decent, and still be a serious or zealous Christian woman, she can even be a minister or a minister's wife. It is a limited and inadequate insight and knowledge of people that see only women standing beside the road or hotel as prostitutes.

There are different types of harlots or prostitutes, and they are of different levels, but before God, all are seen as harlots. Let's see some other types of harlots apart from the regular sex workers:

(1) HARLOT BY GARMENT
Genesis 38:15, "When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot"

You can be registered as a harlot in heaven simply by the way you dress. You don't need to become an active sex worker, you don't need to commit a single sexual immorality with a man before Heaven will recognize you as a prostitute and remove your name from the Book of Life; in fact you can be a virgin but still a heavenly recognized harlot. How does that happens? It happens simply by what you wear and how you wear what you wear. If you wear low-cut dress or low necklines including ball gowns that exposes your cleavage, meaning, that shows the upper part, little trace of your breasts when you bend down, you are a harlot. You don't need to be half naked before you become harlot by garment, but as long you wear any clothing that reveals your cleavage a little, you are a harlot.

Also if you wear tight clothes that shows the anatomy of your body to the world as to show your shape, you are a harlot; if you wear transparent or perforated clothing that shows your inner-wears, you are a harlot; if you wear any dress which does not covers your arms or your kneels, you are a harlot. This may be hard to take but a spiritual reality for holy standard of the heaven minded.

You can be a pastor, a minister, deaconess; you can speak in tongues of angels, you can sing like angels, whoever you are or claim to be does not matter, but to God, you are a decent harlot. If this is too hard for you to take, you can wait until you get to the gate of heaven, only that will be too late, and I will not advise you to wait that too late. There will be surprise on the rapture day and in heaven, when our identities are declared to us, and we may say, "Lord, I am not a harlot, and never be one"

As a Christian woman, what will be your reason before God for wearing clothing that exposes your cleavage? How will you defend your motive of wearing tight, transparent, perforated and short dress?

(2) HARLOT BY GETTING
Genesis 38:21, "Then he asked the men of that place, saying, “Where is the harlot who was openly by the roadside?” And they said, “There was no harlot in this place.”

A harlot is a woman who gives sex to a man in order to get something back; so if you, as a woman, give sex to get a job, you are registered harlot in heavens, even if it is once. If you, as a woman, allow a man to sleep with you because of promotion at work, because you want to retain your job, because you want to get contract, because of your schooling, because of favor- you are a heavenly recognized prostitute. Prostitution is giving sex in exchange for something, it doesn't matter if it is money or not, and it doesn't matter if it is just once or forever.

Here is the is the terrifying truth: Whatever you have gotten by allowing men to sleep with you - even if those things were supposed to be your right, but as long as you allowed man to sleep before you got it through, you are a harlot - the job, certificate, etc are dividends of your harlotry, and the salary, profit, whatever you are getting as a result are wages of a harlot. The most terrific matter here is that, if you are giving tithes, offerings from the wages you got through harlotry, you are only waging serious judgment of God against your life and eternity, because God warned that no wages of harlotry should be brought into His house.

Here is the word of God in Deuteronomy 23:18, "You shall not bring the wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the Lord your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God."

Your pastor can collect your tithes and offerings, your prosperity pastors can say anybody can bring tithes, but you are only doing yourself havoc if you are in such category. To have the mercies of God, you need to repent, open up and confess, then do necessary restitution.

(3) HARLOT BY GIVING
Genesis 34:31, "But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”

If you are in marital relationship, and you commit premarital sex, in a way of giving your love or promise to the man, you are a harlot. Premarital sex in a marital relationship is only an act of harlotry. In the book of Genesis 34, a man called Shechem loved Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he slept with her, even though he had not married her; when her brothers heard it, they were angry and said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?” - Only a prostitute will be sleeping with a man before marriage, that is what the brothers meant.

If a man is asking a woman for premarital sex in a relationship, he is only addressing the woman as a prostitute, taking her to be a prostitute; and if a woman is allowing a man to sleep with her in a marital relationship, she is only presenting herself to be a harlot. So the same man who has been sleeping with her can think and decide tomorrow that he doesn't want to marry her again, and why? "She is a harlot" But you are the same man who has been sleeping with her. The man answers, "Yes, I know, but I am not her husband yet, it only proves she is a harlot."

If you had premarital sex before you got married, and you covered it up, you need to repent NOW and realize your sin. Then you will need to confess to the necessary people: your parents, your pastors, including the pastor who joined you together. If you think it is a past matter and no need to confess to the necessary people, you are only embalming your past sin, and enlisting yourself as a harlot in hell.

Take or give, a woman who has extra-marital sex is also a harlot, even if it was once or it was in past; until she confesses to her husband, she is still a prostitute in God's eyes. But as long as such a woman has repented and confessed to her husband, she is as clean as a virgin before God, because when we repent and confess, God is always faithful to forgive and cleanse us, and never remember again our sins as long as don't go back.

AND WHAT ABOUT MEN?
So, what about men who have who ask or commit premarital sex or extra-marital sex, are they also harlots or what should we call them? The same thing is applicable to men, a man who commit premarital sex is a fornicator and a man who commits extra-marital sex is an adulterer. The solution to settle the matter is not a matter of saying, "I don't do it again and I have asked to forgive me" Such a man will need to repent, confess to God and to his wife, to one another as the case may be. If you, as man, has asked a woman for premarital or extra-marital sex, after you have repented, you will need to apologize to the woman for the "evil asking"

Hebrews 13:4, "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge."

This message is not meant to condemn us, but it is to correct us so that we will not be condemned with the world at the end. Let us make the necessary amendment.

1 Corinthians 11:31, 32, "For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world."

SHOULD CHRISTIANS GIVE FIRSTFRUITS OFFERING?
Firstfruits was one of the offerings in the Old Testament, is it still applicable in the New Testament? Let's see some facts and truth about FIRSTFRUITS from the Bible.

Firstfruits was not just an offering like tithes and offerings, but it was an offering for sacrifice. Leviticus 2:12. "As for the offering of the firstfruits, you shall offer them to the Lord, but they shall not be burned on the altar for a sweet aroma."

Leviticus 23:20, "The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the Lord for the priest."

In the New Testament, the word "firstfruits" was mentioned about 8 times, and none was refereed to for monetary offering, because in the New Testament, Jesus Christ became our Firstfruits, the sacrifice of offering unto God, and the monetary or animal offering of firstfruits is no longer necessary and biblical.

1 Corinthians 15:20, "But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep."

1 Corinthians 15:23, "But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming."

In the New Testament, firstfruits is no longer monetary offering but Christ became our Firstfruits, and then every person who first gives his life to Jesus in a family is the firstfruits of that family unto God; people who first give their lives to Jesus in a particular community or country are the firstfruits of that location, and every first church in a particular community or country is the firstfruits of that place.
Romans 16:5, "Likewise greet the church that is in their house.Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ."

James 1:18, "Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures."

THE MERCHANDIZING OF MODERN CHURCH
Quoting firstfruits from the scripture as a means of collecting money in the church is another means of ungodly money making of the modern church. Some of those churches who collect offering of firstfruits do that, and put the whole money in the pocket of a single person - the Senior Pastor or the Daddy G O. Now, how will such pastors not become millionaire overnight? Such practice is not only unbiblical but in a wrong means, even the Old Testament firstfruits offerings were not given to the High Priest or a single person.

The churches who practice firstfruits offering are the decayed churches that have been perverted by modern demon of mammon spirit. Some even go to the extend of telling their church members to redeem their first children with money. If you are redeeming your first child with money in your church, it means the blood of Jesus is not enough to redeem your child. Christians are not redeemed by money or offerings, we are redeemed by the precious Blood of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:18, 19, "knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."

If any pastor or church asks you to redeem your child with an offering, tell them that the offering by the Blood of Jesus Christ is more than enough for the redemption of your children and yourself.

One of the popular pastors in Nigeria whose church practices collection of firstfruits offerings usually visit the capital city of Nigeria, Abuja, every year; and in the churches, the ministers would announce, "if you want to meet our Daddy G.O at the National Cathedral, you will need to buy invitation card of N15, 000 (About $100), so you can have access to him." Every year, this church usually sell invitation cards to their members to have access to their senior Pastor, maybe thousands of people do buy the card. The question is that, if you do not pay money to see Jesus, do you have to pay money before you can see the servant of Jesus? This is another evidence on how far Satan has gone in the church.

One of the terrible things about modern church ministers is the possessed spirit of mammon, everything is monetized. Calling certain amount of money for special prayer, selling anointing oil for special blessings, asking prophetic offering - meaning if you need prophecy of prayer of prophet, you need to pay - collecting firstfruits offerings and paying money to see a man of God are few of the way they make merchandize of the free gifts of God in the church.

You will not hear such things from the founding fathers of faith, in America, Africa, Europe or Asia. The Apostles and our contemporary founding fathers of faith who founded some of the churches did not practice such system of money collections, and if our founding fathers were godly and contented, if they did not collect firstfruits offerings or special invitation offerings, if they did not sell anointing oil or organize special 700 clubs to raise fund, are we wiser than them? Are we wiser than the Apostles whom God used in the Acts of Apostles in the Bible? Why didn't we read such practices about them?

Wisdom demands that we should all repent from our love of money, and be delivered from the demon of mammon. From whom scripture is given, sincerity is expected. When you know the Truth, He will set you free if you allow Him.

1 Timothy 6:3-5
If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

SATAN'S MEETING AGAINST GOD
(Read even if you're busy)

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons. In his opening address he said, "We can't keep Christians from going to church." "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth." "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Savior." "Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, but steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ." "This is what I want you to do", said the devil:
"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.

"Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children." "As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice." "Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." "To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly." "This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."

"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers." "Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day." "Invade their driving moments with billboards." "Flood their mail boxes with junk mail, mail order catalogues, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes."
"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives." "Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night." "Give them headaches too!" "If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere." "That will fragment their families quickly!"

"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas." "Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."
"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive." "Have them return from their recreation exhausted." "Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation." "Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead." "Keep them busy, busy, and busy!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences."
"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus." "Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause." "It will work!" "It will work!"

It was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there. Having little time for their God or their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been successful at his scheme?
You be the judge! Does "busy" mean:
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?

"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings .And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. - I Peter 5:8-1.

If you are too busy to daily prayer time and Bible reading, then you are under the end time yoke of Satan. If you now are too busy to to have time for evangelism, visiting and calling the brethren and family members, then you have been carried away with the cares of this life. If your life is busy with the cares, longing, desires, activities of this world, then you are among the deceived. If your heart is busy with business, buyings, beauty, building project, bank account, etc, it may be too late after the rapture.

Rededicate your life to Jesus Christ, refocus your priority, purpose of living, pursuit, prayers, and preaching on heaven and preparation for His coming. Care less about the passing things of this life, and you will not be among the foolish Christians.

"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved" Matthew 24:12, 13

"...and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful." Matthew 13:22.

" Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming."

THREE THINGS YOU NEED TO MAKE HEAVEN
The race to heaven is narrow, the kingdom of God suffers violence, right, but you just need these three things in your life after you surrender your life to Jesus, and heaven is sure and certain. The foundation and basic thing is your genuine salvation, you need to dedicate or rededicate your life to Jesus first before you start the race. So, after you have experienced salvation, you go ahead with these things and heaven is sure, no matter what! Let's see those three things:

From the book of Luke 21:36, "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” From this verse, we see three things: The Word (Jesus Christ), to watch and to pray. These are the three things we need on daily bases to make heaven. Let's start with prayer

Pray Earnestly Every Day
A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. For you to overcome past sinful natures and resist the present temptations, you need the strength of Holy Spirit, and you get this strength through prayer. Many Christians are ignorant of "daily" prayer in their Christian living. Luke 22:, 41, "And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed.....Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground" Jesus Christ prayed to prevailed. For you to prevail over sin, self and Satan, you need daily and earnest prayer. No matter the addicted or persistent sin, daily prayer over it prevails.

Do not waste your time praying over enemies and others, your priority in your prayer should be on your Christian life, for grace and strength to live victorious life. When you are having struggle with any particular sin or temptation, take it to God in prayer. Praying every morning before you start the day and evening before you sleep is not to fulfill all righteousness but to present your spiritual weaknesses and issues to God and receive strength. It is not possible for you to live a consistent Christian life without consistent payer life. Never miss daily prayer, both in the morning and evening. Start with 30mins prayer and move on from there.

Read Bible Every Day
"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word." Psalm 119:9.
For you to grow in the Lord, to live a victorious Christian life, you need to read and mediate on God's word everyday. You cannot resist the devil without the Word in your heart, not in your brain. You must read at least 2 chapters of Bible everyday, at least. The Word refreshes, empowers and enables you to move on without falling. Before you read your Bible, you need to invite Holy Spirit to teach you, and read without distraction. Mediate what you read and write some down.

Watch!!!
"Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night." Nehemiah 4:9.
After prayer and Bible reading, you must watch against wiles of the devil day and night. Do not relent or relax, because devil doesn't. You must be watchful to apply God's Word into your life. Watch over your heart, your thought, your tongues, your tones, your temper; watch against sinful tendencies and resist them. To watch means to detach from people or places, to delete any thoughts within or materials without and destroy anything that will lure or lead you back to sin. To watch also means to resist, reject and refuse sinful demands and desires. Never entertain the thought again, never give room to the devil, and never move close to the appearance of sin. WATCH!

With these three things, victory is certain and heaven is sure. But only sure if you have experienced salvation as the foundation. If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus completely or if you have been rising and falling into sin, all you need is to start afresh by dedicating or rededicating your life to Jesus and have a better start. You realize, ready to forsake and confess your sins to Jesus, and ask Him to forgive and cleanse you, to save and give you a new heart and spirit.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

In this era of increasing knowledge, there are several types of rules and keys for success, both biblical and non-biblical. And because we all desire success, we do not relent to seek for means to succeed. As anyone would seriously desire formula for success, Joshua was; he just succeeded Moses in the leadership of the nation Israel. He was assuming an awesome responsibility in taking command of two-and-half million people. If anyone needed a formula for success, Joshua did. What comfort and assurance it must have been as the Lord Himself spoke to Joshua and gave him the master key to success – meditating upon God’s Word. Joshua was to meditate upon the Word of God day and night, meaning at all the time, and he was promised good success by so doing.

The same formula is applicable and available for us today as we desire success spiritually, physically, financially, martially, etc. Our success in life is underneath the Word of God, and by searching deep into the Word of God, we discover our desired success. We are to read it, but not just reading; we are to meditate upon reading it by repeatedly and prayerfully thinking about it in order to gain a better understanding and apply it into our daily living. This is the key to success in Christ Jesus. Any success outside the Word of God only leads to sorrow. Read your Bible every day, reason with it every time and reason through it in every situation.

Psalm 119:9, “How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.”

THE MOST UGLY MUSIC EVER!!! (A must read PLEASE)
This is the most UGLY and frightening song you will ever hear! In a vision, I saw a naked man covered in flaming worms that cannot Die! He turned to me and heaved a deep sigh as flames surrounded him and he sung this song in an emotionless voice! A voice that held NO emotion only the pain and torment he was in! Here are a few lyrics from the song:

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

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

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

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

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

- Sherrie Elijah

Flaming WORMS that looked like Snakes! were crawling in and OUT of EVERY OPENING OF HIS BODY! His EYES, EARS,NOSE, FRONT, REAR, I repeat EVERY OPENING! without getting graphically gross here! The screams yet echo in my mind as I am writing this down! The rich man in the bible who went to HELL told God if he would just send a man back from HELL to warn others his brothers of the torment in Hell they would not want to come there, they would live differently! But God said even if he sent someone back from HELL, few would listen and take the warning seriously! Few would believe! In this end time how many has the LORD allowed to see Heaven and Hell to be brought back to life to tell of the Horror!

So many people die everything, and majority are trooping in to hell. Your friends and family members who died without Christ, or who lived sinful and worldly Christian life, are singing the same ugly songs in hell now; you will never see them again if only you also do not go to hell. If you are reading this article before the Rapture, it means you have the chance and choice to make in order to avoid hell, but it all depends on you.

Jesus only is the way to save from going to hell; if you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, you urgently need to do that now. If you claim to be a Christian but still living in sin, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus before it is too late. And if you have dedicated your life to Jesus, but living a worldly life of modern Christianity, hiding your sins, rising and falling into sin or ignoring to do necessary restitution, then you are also at the danger of hell. Until you surrender all to Jesus Christ, ALL!

GOD’S MESSAGE FOR YOU IN THIS YEAR 2015

Immediately we entered this year 2015, the very first minute of the year, the Lord revealed to me the secret, the message, the master key for this year 2015, and that is what I want to share with you here.

If there is anything you need most importantly and more than anything else, if there is one thing that will make this year a successful and blessed year for you than ever, that one thing is the ABIDING PRESENCE OF GOD.

In this journey of the year 2015, you need the abiding presence of God to succeed in your spiritual life, in your marriage, in your ministry, career, business, academy. Only those Christian with the Abiding presence of God will make a difference.

You need protection and preservation of God in this year? Then you need the Abiding presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Do you need provision of God in your life, family or ministry this year? All you need is the presence of the Lord abiding with you.

The Presence of God will provide all you ever need! Grace, Goodness, Glory of God, Power of God, Protection of God, Peace of God, Preservation of God, and fulfillment of the Promises of God in your life.

The Master Key to this year 2015 is the Abiding Presence of the Lord in your life. Here is the Word of the Lord: Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14.

The Other word you can tag this Master Key of 2015 is IMMANUEL, meaning God with us. That is the abiding presence of God, meaning the Lord is abiding with you presently or His presence is continuously abiding with you. Some people had the presence of God abiding with them in the past but not at the present. Some may have the presence of God abiding with them in January and no more in June. You must have and sustain the presence of God with you every moment of this year if you want to succeed and be secured from the evil of this year.

HOW TO SECURE AND SUSTAIN THE PRESENCE OF GOD

Psalm 15:
LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle?
Who may dwell in Your holy hill?
2 He who walks uprightly,
And works righteousness,
And speaks the truth in his heart;
3 He who does not backbite with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
4 In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the LORD;
He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 He who does not put out his money at usury,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be moved.

1. Surrender all to Jesus Christ. This year is going to differentiate the genuine children of God from others, there is going to be the manifestation of the power of God for revival, blessing, for curse, for success and failure, for uplifting and down grading, great financial success in businesses and careers and great famine, preservation and pestilences. All depends on your level of relationship. But God wants us to surrender our all to Him so we can enjoy the best in His presence.

To experience the abiding presence of God is not majorly by fasting and prayer, but by total surrender to Jesus Christ. You cannot continue in your sin and experience the awesome presence of God, you cannot continue in your old lifestyle and experience a new year, it will still be the same old year. It is neither by attending church every day of the week or sleeping in the church, the presence of God is not a physical building but a spiritual manifestation of God that makes a difference.

What makes the New Year is not another January 1st, as a matter of reality, there is no new calendar of 2015, it is the same 2009,1998, 1987 calendars we are having this year. But if you want to experience a new life in this year 2015, you need to surrender your life to Jesus Christ afresh in holiness and righteousness. You repent, confess and forsake your sin. Make all your ways right, settle necessary restitution and allow Jesus to be the Lord of your life. Do not allow Satan and Sin to dictate your life this year.

2. Seek Him daily. You want to secure and sustain God’s presence in your life? You need to seek God first thing first daily. Seek His word daily in your daily devotion. Spend time with God daily in Bible reading and prayer. You must endeavor to finish reading Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Meditate daily in the Word of God. The Lord revealed to me that those who seek Him more in Bible reading and meditation will experience divine leading and guidance of God than never before. What we need more this year is not more of fasting (though we need to fast often) but more of meditation of God’s word and applying it into our daily living.

Do not be stupid to miss your daily devotion for a day this year, no matter how busy you may become. There is no excuse for being foolish or being consciously stupid, because only the fools will allow whatever to hinder them from having personal refreshing and renewing time with God.

3. Serve God than never before. There is no idle time this year 2015 in the kingdom, every genuine child of God will be occupied in serving God at every time, everywhere and with whatever God blesses you with. If there is anytime we are closer to the Rapture, it is this year 2015, and if there is any time of urgency to preach the Gospel to all, it is this year. Preach the Word of God at all time, you cannot overdo it this year. Share the Word of God with believers for edification. Preach and share God’s word on phone, on facebook, online, on board, in your workplace, in your school, to your family, friends, strangers, TO ALL & AT ALL TIME.

Intercede for both sinners and the saved. We need one another's intercession than never before. As we share God’s word, we must also share love with one another, which is part of serving God. Share from the little you have and seek for brethren in need and do not hesitate to share and assist. The doors of outpouring blessing of God will be shut against those we are selfish and stinging this year. God needs your tithes and offering and brethren, friends and even strangers need your sharing.

As you surrender all to Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our lives, and as you seek Him daily without interruption and serve Him with all your mind and strength, great will your joy and rejoicing this year in Jesus name!

Psalm 16:11, “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

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

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

According to the website, they claim:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Evil altar has reached an alarming rate in Nigeria.

HERE IS A NOTE FROM RTEM:

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

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

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

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

LET THERE BE LIGHT! {A must read}
You need to walk in the light of God this year, for you to be free from attacks of the darkness.

Genesis 1:3, "Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light."'

The first thing ever created on earth was light; before anything was ever created or formed, God created light. The question may be, "Why light was the first to be created among others? Why God did not create something else or life before He created light? The answers are (i) because there is no creativity in the darkness, but only commotion, confusion and cruelty; nothing good can be created in darkness. Before there can be creativity, light must first be in place. (ii) God first created light because there is no life in darkness. Before lively things can be created, there is need for light. Those in darkness are living under the shadow of death, they are far from life, they are bound in darkness of devil for death.

Before life is light.

The Bible says in Psalm 119:130, "The entrance of Your words gives light." The Word of God must first give light before it will give life; a person must first be enlightened before he can be brought to life. When somebody is living a sinful life, no matter how fancy or fun it brings, he is living in darkness, controlled by Satan; when somebody is in secret cult, he is living in darkness, bound under the cruel bondage of Satan, no matter his position, possession, privilege, prosperity or popularity. Such people are living under the shadow of death, their souls are bound in chain. If God should open your eyes through His Word to see the condition of your soul, you will be wise. You may be a Christian, Pastor, great minister of God, and yet bound in darkness.

It is dangerous to walk in darkness, but most dangerous to walk in the spiritual darkness, because spiritual darkness is full of dangers of devil and his demons. "But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” John 11:10

THE LIGHT SHINES!
"And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." John 1:6.

Darkness is sin and Satan, but light is Jesus Christ and His Word. When you personally and sincerely open up your life to God's Word to search you, and surrender your life to Jesus Christ to sanctify you, He shines His light into your life, and transfers you from the bondage of darkness into the marvelous light. Isaiah 42:7, "To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison, Those who sit in darkness from the prison house."

HOW TO BE TRANSFERRED FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT

Just three steps:
(1) Come To The Light. Jesus is the light of the world, when you come to Him, you surrender your life to Him and forsake your sins, you confess them and ask Him to forgive and cleanse you. Immediately, the light of God will shine in your heart, soul and spirit with relief of peace from the bondage of darkness. No matter the thickness of the darkness of sin or secret cult, it cannot comprehend the light of God into your life when you surrender all to Jesus.

(2) Be Lighted By The Word. The Word of God is a light; after you come to Jesus, you must be always lightened by God's word every day, with prayer, to guide and guard you.

Psalm 119:105,
"Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
A Christian who does not daily read and mediate God's word will soon find his path back into darkness.

(3) Walk In The Light. Coming to the light is not enough to stay in light, reading the Word is not enough, but you must walk in the light of the Word of God, by allowing God's Word to guide and direct your life; it is then that you will walk in the light of God. Ephesians 5:8, "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light."

We must continuously walk in the light of God's Word to the end. Living in a secret sin, covering up a sin or having un-confessed sin brings a believer who has been previously enlightened back into darkness; living in unforgiveness, malice or bitterness also brings a Christian back into darkness. We must open up to God's light to search us everyday through His Word and be ready to walk in God's will.

WARNING: Do not make any effort this year without first having the light of God in your life, and do not start work or walk out in a day without first reading your Bible and pray. Light first!

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

DON'T CARRY OVER TO CROSS OVER!
"On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink." John 7:37

Which one is better: To carry over and start over or to settle account and start afresh? That is personally applicable to you! Whatever your experience this year, whatever your success or shortcoming this year, whatever you have done or undone, and whatever your fortune and failure, there is something you urgently need to settle before crossing over to the new year - your personal account with Jesus Christ.

When we started this year 2014, the last day of the year was the least thing we looked forward to, it seemed so far away, but here we are; the brand new and bulky year of 2014 is rolling to an end. And so also is the life of every one of us. The end of road of our lives is like what we don't look forward to or what we think is too far away, but the reality is that as this year has come to the last day, so also we will all come to the last day of our lives, no negotiation for that; as this year as come to an end, so we will all come to the end of our lives on earth, no matter how far or near. And as this year has come to an end so also this world will come to end.

Now, several people we happily started this year together have crossed over to eternity by timely or untimely death. And where are they now? They are either in heaven or hell - in heaven where they will never wish to come back to this world, because of too much enjoyment and peace, but in hell where they will ever wish to come back to this world for second chance like the Rich man in the Bible, because of too much suffering and pains.

Why such a difference? Because the people that crossed over to heaven had settled their accounts with God and man before they died, but the people in hell refused, ignored or postponed to settled all with God, so they carried their sins to cross over after death; since no repentance after death, they are doomed forever. It is a pity that some of these people in hell are our loved ones, family and friends - they will never see you again forever, as long you don't go to hell.

Here you are still alive, and about to crossed over to the 2015, have you settled your personal account with Jesus? I don't mean if you have paid your tithes or vows, I don't mean if you have completed worker's training in your church. What I mean is have you totally surrendered your life to Jesus in repentance and genuine salvation or you are one of the committed Christians in the church without without their names in the Book of Life or don't care? Or you have been postponing your salvation till now?

Have you experienced genuine salvation over sin and Satan since you have been going to church and claimed to be a devoted Christian or you are still rising and falling into sin? No matter who you are, what you have, where you are or who you claim to be, if you have not experienced real salvation that makes you live holy and righteous life over sin and Satan, then you are in the most dangerous condition, yes!

You have to settle your account with Jesus now - repent to realize your sins and yourself as sinner, ready to forsake them and to accept Jesus as your Lord, then confess your sins and start a new life in Jesus. That is how to settle account with your Creator.

And if you have experienced genuine salvation already, you need to also check your account if any thing to settle before crossing over into the new year - any sin to open up? Any restitution to settle? Any one to apologize to? Any one to forgive or any matter to settle? It will be too dangerous for you to cross over with such burden and then start the new year over again in old life.

You may not be able to start a building project and finish it for he remaining hours in this year 2014, you may not be able to start and settle many things again for the remaining hours of this year, but you have enough time now to settle your account with God, and settle with people so that you start better and sure of your eternity in heaven anytime is happens. Whatever burden of sins, of drudge, or secret sin, or offense, or unforgiveness, you should settle all before you cross over, and now is the best time! Do not postpone the confession to make to people in form of restitution till next year, it may be too late. DO IT NOW!

THE SECRETS OF FINANCIAL & CAREER SUCCESS
How children of God can experience abundant financial blessing in the midst of falling economy and excel in their careers among strong competitions!

At the beginning of this year, my wife and I were left with about N10,000 Nigerian currency equivalent to USD$60. Our business had gone low at the end of the year 2013. As we entered the year in 2014, we needed money to revive our business, to take care of our family, and for the ministry God has given us. So we concluded to seek for loan from a friend; we needed about N500,000/USD$3000. I asked a Christian sister to assist us with the loan and she agreed to do so. Before I collected the loan, I discussed the matter with a family brother who discouraged me from taking the loan; he said we should continue with the little we had. We prayed and believed God wanted us to start the year with the little we had and trust Him for everything.

So I did not bother the beloved sister for the loan, but she supported us with N100,000/USD$600. With this we started our business again, trusting God for everything and following Him daily as He leads. As we are ending the year 2014 in few hours now, God has blessed the business greatly that it now worth more than N5 Million/ USD$30,000. What are the secrets behind a $600 business turning to more than $30,000 within 12 months? That is what I want to share with you here:

Isaiah 48:17, “Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel:
“I am the LORD your God,
Who teaches you to profit,
Who leads you by the way you should go.”

SECRET 1, KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD. “I am the LORD your God”

There are three sources of blessings in this world: First is GENERAL BLESSING – this is blessing that God give to all generally. You get a good job, doing a good business, using the wisdom God gave you to do great things in life. Yes, this general blessing is from God to all men, both Christians and non-Christians, good and bad, believers and non-believers. God showers His rain upon all. But two things about this general blessing – it is limited and it can be truncated by Satan. The second source of blessing is SATANIC/SINFUL BLESSING – this blessing comes from Satan either by his demonic means of rituals, occult power or by sinful means. If you falsified your age to get a job, falsified information to get a contract or a blessing; if you gave bribe to get job, contract or anything that turns to your blessing or if you get involved in immoral things to gain a particular blessing, such blessings are from Satan.

Those who do money ritual or join occult to get earthly blessing and you who lied, gave bride, cheated, collected bribe, falsified information, document or got involved in unclean means to get blessing are in the same category, you are in the same category with those in illuminati- same source of blessing: SATAN. You can be boasting about of God’s blessing, riding big cars, paying your tithes, but you are simply deceiving yourself, Satan is still your master unless you repent. Can you examine yourself and check all the blessings you got this year and all your possessions that none is gotten in a sinful way or by un-biblical means? How will you meet God at the end of your life or on the rapture day with sinful-gotten blessing still in your possession?

The third source of blessing is BLESSING FROM GOD. The truth is that anybody can get general blessing, anyone can get satanic or sinful blessing, but it takes being a child of God to have genuine blessing from God – it is pure and peaceful, full of the joy of the Lord, righteousness and contentment! Jesus Christ must become your Lord before His Spirit can be leading you.

Proverbs 10:22, “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.”

You can get general blessing in abundant in this life and end up with eternal sorrow in hell fire for ever, you can get satanic/sinful blessing greatly and succeed in this life, but the end is eternal sorrow in hell fire, but the only blessing with no eternal sorrow is the blessing from Jesus Christ.


SECRET 2: SEEKING THE WILL OF GOD. “Who teaches you to profit”

You can be a child of God and yet not making progress in your business or career, the reason might be God’s time has not fully come or you are not seeking the will of God or anything else. But I notice that many genuine children of God are not succeeding in business or career because they are not seeking the will of God. Many believe that seeking the will of God is majorly for ministerial or marital issues, that when it comes to business, you do your calculation and apply your human prudency. That is the reason many wonderful children of God are limited because they live by their limited human wisdom.

Jesus Christ told us that the Holy Spirit would teach us all things, this include your academy, career and business. If you do not seek the leading of Holy Spirit before you choose a course in school, before you choose a career, business, before you get a job or relocate to a place, if you use your own limited wisdom, and then you fail at the end, the Holy Spirit will still be there to comfort you, He is a Comforter and He is a Great Teacher also.

A Christian brother who gets two jobs at the same time; one offers $300 monthly salary, the other offers $2500. If you were the person, what will you do? Do you need to pray about this before choosing? Is wisdom not profitable to leading that you don’t need to quote Bible before you know that $2500 job is the best for you? But the brother prays, God leads him to take the $300 job, and he obeys. In a short time, he is promoted with higher salary more than $2500, and on the other hand, the company that offered him $2500 salary has collapsed with the economy crisis and all their workers lay off with no benefit.

God has a master plan and purpose that leads to great profit and success for all His children, but if you don’t seek to know that plan, how will you prevail in your business and career by your strength in this corrupt and occult generation? If you are choosing by your wisdom or by what many people are doing, you will end up not making it, and you will begin to think your failure in business or career is because you are a child of God.

It is the Spirit of God that can teach us to profit, not your own wisdom. But many would say, “But I sought the face of God before choosing the career or the business, yet I am not making profit or progress.” But I will also need to ask you, are you seeking God’s will continuously in the process” Did you seek the face of God before you change your location, before you adjust the business, before you partner with another person, before you embark on another project?

The secret is that, for a child of God who wants to hold on to righteousness and make heaven at last to succeed financially and in career in this devilish and corrupt world, he or she needs to seek the will of God every day through prayer and meditating the Word of God on their business and career – IN EVERY DAY, IN EVERY STEPAND IN EVERYTHING!

Do not be moved by the wave of this world but by the Word of God!

SECRET 3: OBEYING THE LEADING OF GOD. “Who leads you by the way you should go.”

God is leading all His children by the way they should go in their business, in their career on what to do, where to go, what business to start, how to start, how to do it, but only few are obeying, and these are the few who eat the fruits of obedience.

There is a place, a particular thing to do, and a particular way to do it that will lead to profit. There is a way that seems right to a man but it leads to failure. When we simply obey the leading of the Lord, then success is sure! You may ask, “If it is as easy as this, why many children are not making it or why many are compromising to succeed?” Why do children of God ignore the leading of Holy Spirit when it comes to their career and business? The reasons are:

(i) Because the wisdom of God sounds foolish. When God led us at the beginning of this year not to take $300 loan to start business but move on with nothing, it would have sound foolish. When God told Gideon to return thousands of soldiers and go with only 300 men to a great battle of millions soldiers, it seemed foolish. When Jesus Christ told the people at the wedding of Cana to pour water to wine bottles, it also seemed seriously foolish. If you relate the leading of God sometime to human wisdom, it will sound humanly foolish. But Mary told people serving at the wedding of Cana, “Whatever He says to you, do it” John 2:5. That is the secret of success in business and career. Whatever the Spirit of God leads you to do after you seek His will, please do it. Take note of what He says to you personally, not another person.

(ii) Because of fear of inconveniences and what people will say. Sometimes, God’s leading is not convenience, but it is always profitable. If you don’t want to leave your so called “comfort zone” you may never get to your promised land. Do not mind what people will say if you move in line with God’s leading, because when it leads to success, they will come back to rejoice with you and learn.

(iii) Because of fear of failure. Many children of God are ignoring the leading of God because of fear of if it fails. Since the leading in the first instance sounds foolish, there is possibility of fear of failure, but it takes walking with God by faith to follow His leading. God led Abraham to leave his country, so also God can lead you to leave a place, a career, a job, a business, etc. God can lead you to wait, to walk, or to work; God can lead you to stop or to start, He can lead you stay or to move. He can also lead you to do His work first before you pursue your career or business. You must know God’s will for your life and obey it.

How To Discover God’s Leading In Your Career and Business
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14

If you are a genuine child of God, who has repented, confessed and forsaken your old sinful life and started a brand new life in Jesus Christ, you have the Spirit of God dwelling in you. Now, how will you know the leading of the Holy Spirit as regard your business or your career? Simple! The same way the Spirit of God leads you in your spiritual life when He tells you to go and read your Bible, to pray NOW, to fast TODAY; the same way He leads you in your ministerial life when He tells you to go and preach to someone, to intercede for somebody, and the same way He leads you in your marital life, that is the same way He also leads His children daily in business and career.

Since our business and career are not as important as our spiritual life, as our marital and ministerial life, then God’s leading in business and career is even much simple and easy, if we have been obeying God in our spiritual life, marital life and in the work of God.

To succeed in your business or career, you don’t need to be “smart”, do not compromise into sinful or satanic activity, but simply surrender to Jesus Christ, trust in Him, seek His will daily in everything, and obey just as He leads!

As we enter into the new year, God has a great plan and purpose for you, you must obey Him to possess it, put Him first, seek His kingdom and holiness of life above your business or career success, seek to read your Bible and pray daily first thing before doing any other thing. Seek to do His work in His kingdom as your priority in the New Year, do not pursue earthly things with what God blesses you with, but use the blessing for His glory, and great shall be your eternal joy!

Proverbs 3:5,6:
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

This is a summary of the topic, we trust God to share the 7 secrets comprehensively in the New Year and print it in a book for free. But you can prayerfully move with what we have shared here and experience abundant blessings of God more than before.

God bless you and Happy New Year in advance!

THE SECRETS OF SERVING GOD
"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16

The truth is that, you either serve God or you serve the devil; you can not serve both together. To many, serving God seems difficult, while to others, it is like impossible or unattainable task. But when we do it right and realize the secrets, it becomes easy and successful.

THE RIGHT START!
The only acceptable way to serve God is through Jesus Christ, you need to experience genuine salvation through Jesus Christ. Many are having it hard in their Christian lives because they have it wrong or they are taking it wrong way. Christian life without genuine salvation makes it terribly difficult and impossible. If you want to serve God acceptably and successfully, you need to start well. Genuine salvation starts with repentance; many are starting their Christian lives with confession, and they find it hard to overcome sin and Satan, they keep confessing and committing sins. Repentance is the solid base, it is realizing your sins and ready to forsake them. After your genuine readiness to forsake sins, then you go ahead and confess, ask God to forgive and cleanse you through the Blood of Jesus Christ; ask Him to save you, then you are saved.

RUNNING THE RACE: 2 ISSUES
(1) The point is that your salvation helps you to forsake sins, but you can't forget everything about sin; after you surrender your life to Jesus, the formal thoughts of sin will still come, the tendencies and temptation will come. Some time you will feel weak and vulnerable, and suggestion may come to your mind to give in to sin by the pressures within and without. Sometimes, this pressure will be so pressing as if you can't but give in to it; people outside may be pressing you to yield to sin again. The memory of the past sin may flood your mind as if you have not be saved, and Satan will try to confuse you that you are not a child of God. Another common issue is after you have resisted a particular sinful habit and you think that is the end, you may be surprised that the tendency will re-surge after some months or years. You may be disturbed and wonder why that again? The reason is because Satan is not dead yet and he is desperate about your dear life. You resist him, he goes and then look for another opportunity to come, as he did to Jesus. "Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time." Luke 4:13.

(2) After you rededicated or re-devoted your life to Jesus, you want to serve God, you want to please God, you want to pray more, you want to read God’s Word more; you want to preach God’s Word. But then you feel empty. When you want to pray, before you pray for 5 minutes you are empty, before you read few verses of Bible you feel sleepy, your heart is wondering about. It is like your prayer can’t be answered, as if you are not meant to be strong spiritually, as if you can’t be strong in prayer, as if God hates you or you are not a child of God. Has it happened to you before? What next came to your mind? "STOP!" That you should, “stop the prayer, the reading Bible, the new life in Jesus. You will always fumble, you are not meant for such life. You are naturally week and God is not really looking for such people like you.” The secret is that such a thought is not just ordinary; it is from the devil to discourage you from moving forward.

SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
(1) DON'T GIVE IN. Do not give in or yield to sinful thoughts, tendencies or temptations. We cannot pray that temptation should not come but we can pray unto God to deliver us from temptation, by His grace and strength. Keep resisting the devil as many times he comes with temptations, keep standing, don't relent, keep praying and watching every moment. Many Christians successfully resisted the devil at the first hand, but later they felt relaxed and fell afterward. A Christian who comes out of past nature of lust, immorality, masturbation or anger, he may stand to resist after his salvation but he needs to keep standing and resisting, because the tendencies may still come over again. The secret is that you keep resisting through prayer and Satan will keep fleeing from you.

(2) DON'T STOP. You are praying and you feel empty and wondering about? Don’t stop, continue the prayer, God understand your weakness. The secret is keep on the prayer, you will be filled by the Spirit of God before you finish the prayer. The secret is that the first few minutes of prayer, praising God in Spirit or reading Bible are likely to be distracted and discouraged; but if you don’t stop you will be filled, full and stronger.

The same thing is applicable in your new life in Jesus, in your re-devotion, re-dedication and consecration to God. It will first be un-natural, boring, discouraging, and cumbersome as if you can’t stay long, as if you can’t survive or sustain to the end, as if you can’t understand everything or be holy. Do you remember when you got your first phone and going through the manual? It was as if you would not get the functioning right, but now you are almost an expert, why because you didn’t stop using and practicing the phone. So also if you don’t stop in your new devotion to Jesus, you will get better and stronger. It is applicable to everyone, both the people in the past and present; all who have ever come to Jesus went through such striving, only they didn’t give up and many are passing though similar things. But Satan will want to personalize it to you as if you are the worst. The devil is a LIAR!

CO N C L U S I O N !
When the people, pressure, persuasion or feeling to commit sin comes again, DON’T YIELD! It is then you will discover the strength and grace of God as your weakness is turned to strength. When the feeling of being empty, of wondering of thoughts, of weakness, of discouragement and despair comes to stop you from your decision and move to serve God, DON’T STOP! If you don’t stop you will be strong. Take your weakness to God in prayer and get strength and grace everyday.

1 Peter 5:8. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.”

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

HOW GOD SHOWED ME THE VISION OF RAPTURE & HELL (Part II)

When I looked at the people who were going up with the Lord, they were very calm, at peace and full of joy.

When I looked down at the people in destruction, I was surprised because some of them are supposed to be the people of God that I know (they are still alive). They were crying out in agony and pain. Yet the Lord said there was nothing He could do except they repent. At this point I had questions in my mind. Then the Lord told me to ask questions.

Q. Where is the destination of these people who are going up with You?
A. They are coming to be with Me where I prepared for them.
Q. For those going down in destruction, where is their destination?
A. They are going down to hell except they repent.
Q. Why are these people in destruction?

1. Hypocrisy – what they are in their mouth is not what they are in their heart.

Matt 15:7-9: “Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

2. Submitting to the spirit of paranoid that does not allow them to see sin as God sees it, thus making light what is serious in His sight. This spirit works directly against the Spirit of Truth.
John 16:13-14:
“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you”.
Consequently, they are not pure in heart, for only the pure in heart will see God (Matt 5:
“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.” Heb. 12:14.

MY GOING DOWN INTO HELL
When the Lord told me that the people in destruction are going to hell except they repent, then I asked the Lord “Can I see the place?” He said “Yes, you can see hell because you asked in a right way”.

The Lord said “Come with me” and the next thing I saw is that we were walking together in hell. When we got to hell, the Lord said to me, “This is the place you wanted to see, don’t be afraid because of who I will allow you to see, and what I will show you.” The place was very terrible. It was dark and I could hear screams of billions upon billions of people, men and women. Though the place was dark, I could still see because the light of God was shining. His face was shining like the sun in its strength. I saw the flames of fire looking reddish and multitudes of people as though they were swimming in the fire. The people I was allowed to speak to were in their individual pits of fire. These pits of fire are literally billions upon billions! They would try to come out of the pit, but it was as if the fire would melt them. I saw billions upon billions of demons running around. These demons were more or less making mockery of those there.

The Lord said “I will allow you to talk with three men who were top preachers from your country but are now in hell.”These are people I never met or knew on earth. Each of these men introduced himself to me and acknowledged that he deserved to be there in hell.

The first person I talked with was Archbishop Benson Idahosa (Church of God Mission International).

When I saw his state of suffering in hell, then I asked him some questions.

Q. Why are you here?
A. Covetousness and I was full of self-righteousness while I was on earth. And I deserve to be here.
Q. Are you used to the pains and the suffering?
A. No. The suffering is new every day.
Q. For how long have you been here?
A. Thirteen (13) years
Q. What if I want to come here where you are?
A. If you want to, you are welcome.

While I was talking with him his flesh would melt as if acid was poured on his face. All the time he was talking with me, he was in torment in his own pit of fire.

The next person I talked with was Baba Paul Gindiri (New Life for All). While he was looking at me, he was screaming in his own pit of fire. As he would try to talk, fire would come from his mouth melting his throat. Then the throat came back again and he was able to talk with me. As he was talking there was fire burning even inside his head and he was in real torment.

Q. Why are you here?
A. My works brought me here
Q. What works?
A. Guile (deceit, hypocrisy, falsehood)
Q. But I was touched by some of your messages I have listened to, yet you are here. Is your message that we are listening to also going to bring us here?
A. No
Q. Why?
A. If you allow the Spirit of the Lord to lead you and not your human mind, your life will glorify God through the messages.

The next person I spoke with was Pastor Philip Mokungah (Oasis Church, Plateau state). He was talking with me with his head upside down. The Lord says that was the state of his punishment at that hour.

Q. Who are you and why are you here?
A. I was Pastor Philip Mokungah. Now I know I am nothing and my self-will brought me here. And I’ve already sowed the seed of self-will and selfish desire in my family. The more it grows the more my punishment in hell increases. I was walking right with God then I gave room to the devil and he cut me off. He succeeded through my desire and at the end I divorced my wife. This was the first step that separated me from God. And I took it very lightly. Now I am here as a result of my self-will.

He also gave me a message for his family.
While I was talking with him, I also saw a woman who was a very popular female preacher from Nigeria – She introduced herself saying, “See me, see me, see me, Bimbo Odukoya,” but I was not allowed to talk to her but she was allowed to talk to me. She said what brought her there was secret sin, though she did not state what the secret sin was. The Lord made it clear that it was iniquity that took her there.

Ten other people spoke to me but I was not allowed by the Lord to speak to them. Eight of them are of other nationalities (Non-Nigerians).

There was a man I met in Indonesia where I went preaching in 2009. He said he was in hell because of wrong counseling. He was a counselor who was giving people wrong counsel.
One of them said he is there because of the spirit of irresponsibility.

Another said he came there because of gossip.
Another said he is there because of the spirit of bitterness.
A lady said she came there because of lying in the name of God.
There was a young man who said he was arrested while on earth for preaching the gospel and the devil cut him off in prison where he compromised his faith.

There was a woman who was just wailing but I could not pick out her words. There was an elderly man who said he wished he was me because looking at me I was not feeling what he was feeling.

I saw a young girl with a very long hair with different colors. She was a cultic girl who was in the choir of her church. The last person was a young man. He said he called himself into the ministry because he desired to help God. The hand of the Lord was not on him and therefore no grace. He went to so-called men of God seeking anointing of the Holy Spirit. As they prayed, they transferred the same evil spirits in them into him. He gave a message – “Be careful of those you allow to lay hands on you.”

The three men the Lord allowed me to speak with were very popular preachers. God, however, is not a respecter of persons for He is a just judge.

Acts 10:34-35:
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him. Rom 2:11
“For there is no respect of persons with God.

Rom. 11:22:
“Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.”

Coming out of Hell
After the Lord brought me out of hell, I was back in the light were I was before. Then I said, “Lord, can I ask a question?” He answered, “Why not”. “Lord, why did you allow me to have this experience. I’m afraid seeing these men in hell?” Then the Lord said to me, “I allowed you to see these men in hell because of the message you are carrying for this generation.” I now asked the Lord, “Can I carry this message of seeing these people who labored in Your vineyard, and yet ended up in hell?” The Lord said to me, “That is their choice. They knew the truth but they refused to confront themselves with the truth but others. You can carry the message because of the anointing that is upon your life”. “But Lord, You anointed these men as well and yet they have ended up in hell!” “It is because of their choice. If you also choose the wrong road like them, you will end up where they are. But my desire is that you continue on the right road”. This warning, of course, applies to all those going up with the Lord in glory! “What about those people who listen to their messages, would they be saved or lost like them?” “If they believe in Me, it is not their message, it is My message”.

Then the Lord raised His two hands and was leaving. Then I asked Him, “Lord, when are you coming to take us?” He said, “I Myself do not know, only the Father”; as He said this, He was looking up towards heaven. After this He went up. There were many angels with Him in the clouds and they went back with Him.

The end of the vision
After they left, as I looked, I was shocked to find myself still in the place of prayer where I first knelt before the Lord the previous day, 2nd of September 2011. I realized I had been with the Lord for about twenty-four hours yet there was no weariness or weakness in my body. Then an anointing came upon me and the names of some of the people I had seen in the vision began coming to me especially the lost ministers(who are still alive but have gone astray), for prayer. I was given specific prayer points for each of them. The general prayer for all the lost ministers is for God to open their spiritual eyes to see the need to confront themselves with the gospel of Truth.

Why this vision?
God is a merciful God who does not want us to perish.
1) This vision is for you personally, you need to view your own life, forget about the ministers mentioned there. You personally need to settle your relationship with God. You personally need to settle your account with God before it is too late. Are you genuinely saved? Are you living a holy and godly life or you are following the modern prosperity Christianity?

2) You need to repent now; you need to experience genuine salvation now before it is too late. It is not about saying, "God have mercy on me, Lord I need you to help me" but you also need to take step for your new life, you need to surrender your self and sins to Jesus by yourself, God will not do that for you.

3) Are you a child of God? Examine yourself. We all need to examine ourselves with the word of God. What is those aspects, habits in our lives that we have been overlooking, excusing or we think they don’t matter? Those things can hinder us from entering heaven if we don’t repent now. What is the restitution to make or who to forgive? Please, let’s all settle everything now. Let’s search our lives with God’s word and surrender all as we pray.

4) Flee from false teachings of worldly indulgences and prosperity focus. Those preachers who emphasize on prosperity more than purity, who tell you about earthly blessings more than the second coming of Jesus are lost ministers, irrespective of their popularity and prophecies. Read Matthew 7:21, 23.

Repent, confess your sins and forsake them, accept Jesus as your Lord and start a new life in Him. Look unto Jesus not any Pastor or Bishop.

NOTE: Remember your confession of sin is useless without repentance, readiness to forsake them.

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

HOW GOD SHOWED ME THE VISION OF RAPTURE & HELL (Part I) - You have to read this!

After a forty-day fast that I was requested to go through by the Lord, in the place of prayer, I suddenly saw light around me and then heard the audible voice of the Lord saying, “Men have seen the sky, the sun, moon and stars, the mountains and the hills and yet they fear Me not; I will not hold My peace anymore, I am coming to judge the earth.”

The Lord showed me an open vision of the rapture before He took me down to hell. The first person I saw in the vision was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. I have seen Him on several occasions before now so I know Him.
The Lord ALLOWED me to see the PRESENT CONDITION (not FUTURE DESTINATION!) of everyone He has privileged me to meet in my two and half year’s journey with Him. As well as many others that I have never met including those the Lord said I will meet in future.
1. I saw those who were going up in glory with the Lord.
2. I saw those were going down in destruction.

Those in Category 2 were far more in number compared to those in Category 1.
There were those who were not seen in Category 1 or 2. The Lord says these ones are hiding in darkness for there is nothing hidden in the Light.

Most of the ministers who were going up in glory, the Lord says, are not the popular ministers known by men on earth but are known by Him. However, I saw some ministers of the gospel that I know.

Most of the major ministers in Nigeria were seen going down in destruction. The Lord says this is the season of judgment. He says He cannot bear any longer what they are doing in His name for He is coming to judge the earth, yet it is not too late if they repent; but He says, “If you refuse to be sincere with yourself and repent, you know where you are going – your destiny is eternal destruction.”Just some of the major ministers among the so many ministers in destruction are going to be mentioned here for the purpose of their redemption. The Lord says it is not His will for you to be where you are right now and you know it.

These include Pastor Enoch Adeboye (Redeemed Christian Church of God), Bishop David Oyedepo (Living Faith Church), Pastor Tunde Bakare (Latter Rain Assembly), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor (President, Christian Association of Nigeria), Dr. Olukoya (Mountain of Fire and Miracles), Matthew Ashimolowo (Kingsway Church, United Kingdom), Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy), Pastor T.B. Joshua (Synagogue of All Nations), Chris Okotie (Household of God), Evangelist Uma Ukpai and many others!

I have never met or known any of these ministers. However, some of these ministers were brought to me in the place of prayer for intercession during the forty-day fast preceding this vision. The Lord introduced them to me as lost ministers.

Christian national leaders from other countries include –Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Billy Graham, Joyce Meyer, Rod Parsley, Myles Munroe, Mike Murdock, Paula White, Ron Kenoly, Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Pat Robertson, Reinhard Bonkke, Pope Benedict, David Yongi Cho, Duncan Williams and many others!

The essence of mentioning these names is for these people to be warned by those who know them and love them so there can be a change in their ways before it is too late! My responsibility is to simply report what I saw and to warn, so I am free of their blood. There are many other lost ministers whose names cannot be listed here, but let everyone examine himself before the searchlight of the Holy Spirit. Each of us must confront ourselves with the gospel of truth before it is too late forever!

The truth is like a double-edged sword which if received reverently could comfort us and if rejected could crush us (Heb. 4:12-13).
This vision is a demonstration of grace and love from the FATHER-HEART OF GOD.

Q. Where is the destination of these people who are going up with You?
A. They are coming to be with Me where I prepared for them.
Q. For those going down in destruction, where is their destination?
A. They are going down to hell except they repent.
Q. Why are these people in destruction?

……to be continued in Part II

Why this vision?
God is a merciful God who does not want us to perish. The purposes of this vision:
1) You personally need to settle your relationship with God. Forget about the ministers mentioned in the vision, you personally need to settle your account with God before it is too late. Are you genuinely saved? Are you living a holy and godly life or you are following the modern prosperity Christianity?

2) You need to repent now; you need to experience genuine salvation now before it is too late. It is not about saying, "God have mercy on me, Lord I need you to help me" but you also need to take step for your new life, you need to surrender your self and sins to Jesus by yourself, God will not do that for you.

3) Are you a child of God? Examine yourself. We all need to examine ourselves with the word of God. What is those aspects, habits in our lives that we have been overlooking, excusing or we think they don’t matter? Those things can hinder us from entering heaven if we don’t repent now. What is the restitution to make or who to forgive? Please, let’s all settle everything now. Let’s search our lives with God’s word and surrender all as we pray.

4) Flee from false teachings of worldly indulgences and prosperity focus. Those preachers who emphasize on prosperity more than purity, who tell you about earthly blessings more than the second coming of Jesus are lost ministers, irrespective of their popularity and prophecies. Read Matthew 7:21, 23.

Repent, confess your sins and forsake them, accept Jesus as your Lord and start a new life in Him. Look unto Jesus not any Pastor or Bishop.

NOTE: Remember your confession of sin is useless without repentance, readiness to forsake them.

Acts 17: 30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent

2 Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come.

This vision is not from RTEM but from Brother Sadiq Ibrahim (drkelvinstewart@yahoo.com) who God showed the vision. We asked his permission to post the vision. There are many acclaimed visions from God both fake and true, but after we prayerfully searched, we are convinced this is a genuine vision from God for our repentance. At a minister conference, about 5 people from different places shared the same vision as God gave them, to warn every one of us and these minsters to repent, that He is coming SOON. Some of the people God gave this vision said they have already informed most of these ministers, it is now left to them to repent, but then you can choose for your own dear life. The common message is: JESUS can come any moment from now.

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

REVELATION OF THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE CHURCH

Pastors, evangelists, preachers and missionaries; please excuse me and listen. God has not called you to preach abundance of prosperity or prophecy about that. God has called you to preach holiness and sanctification, because without holiness, nobody will see the lord. Get the word out, get the word of holiness out there and preach it !!!

The angels then let me in and Jesus was waiting for me and told me: “Rodolfo my son, welcome to the Kingdom of your God.” When we started to walk, I saw that the streets were of pure gold and I saw a river like crystal, it is real water! I also saw diamonds as ornaments in the streets, a thing over which people kill each other on earth! The Lord then took my hand and told me: “now I am going to show you the temple.” and it was so beautiful. I saw goblets of gold, instruments of gold and I heard a beautiful song and they were children who were singing. The Lord told me that those children were the ones that people rejected on earth but they have life in the kingdom of heaven. Glory to God, hallelujah!

BRIDAL DRESS, WEDDING SUPPER, CROWNS
We continued walking through heaven and I saw a beautiful, humongous white dress decorated in gold and a crown at the top and the Lord told me that it was His church. That it has to be holy and sanctified. The crown is the crown of life that the lord is going to give to the church. When we went out of there, I saw a great line of people. I could see many people dressed in white. I saw two big angels, very elegant countenance and by looking into their eyes, I saw peace, love tenure. One angel said “welcome to the kingdom of your God.” The other angel applauded. I saw people were so happy to be there and now I understand what apostle Paul said that the passing afflictions on earth are nothing compared to the glories awaiting for us in heaven.

The Lord then took me to a place where I saw a long table without end. The table was in gold. The table cloth covering was of gold, goblets of gold, knives and forks in gold, chairs of gold etc… Then I saw big and small crowns and the Lord told me that those big crowns are for His servants, when they come to the wedding of the Lamb. He said “because the wedding of the Lamb is about to start. I am coming soon for my church. Tell them that I am going to pick up my church.”I asked the Lord“these small crowns, who are they for?”“Those small crowns are for the people inside the church who live in holiness but they do nothing for the Kingdom. But I tell you, don’t settle for a small crown but work hard for a big one. Work hard for God so that He would give you the reward of life.” The surprising thing was that every chair has a name behind them and nobody else is going to sit in that chair except for that person.

CONDITION OF TODAY’S CHURCH
“Now Rodolfo, I am going to show you the real condition of the church right now”. I saw a little fish praising and worshiping Jesus because the Bible says: Let all that has breath, praise the Lord!

So the Lord showed me the earth where I had to return to preach what I saw. But I had the impression that I had no remembrance of the earth and the Lord gave me the understanding that one who enters into heaven forgets everything that happened to them on earth!. Not so however in hell; everyone who enters there has memories of everything they did on earth, their families, that that they don’t want them to go to hell! That is another torment added to their sufferings. But the one who enters heaven has their mentality changed to a heavenly mind.

Praise the Lord! For that reason, not Peter nor Mary nor Stephen, nor Elisha or John have a memory of what they did on earth; after their earthly lives, they simply don’t know what is happening here. Peter cannot even imagine that the catholic religion adore him or any other saint for that matter. And Jesus said, “there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved.” That is Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. And Mary said in the Canaan wedding “Do whatever He tells you”. And … worshipers of Satan are in the Vatican; they hide all the sinful ways of priests sleeping with nuns; and priests being accused of child molestation and also here in the Dominican Republic…. And the Catholics continue to believe in those lies.

MONEY FOCUSED & UNFAITHFUL MINISTERS
Now the Lord started crying when He started to show me the condition of the church. Suddenly I saw a pastor on earth carrying a big suitcase and it was full of money. The Lord told me, ‘These are preachers and evangelists that are getting rich with the offerings because they are preaching lies to my people and letting my people get lost.” I tell you preachers and evangelists, preach Jesus even if you don’t receive tithes and offerings. Sanctify the church!

Suddenly I saw that the money in the suitcase disappeared. I asked the Lord and He told me that “In the same manner his money disappeared, so will he disappear together with the antichrist. But still I have a remnant of my people who are not contaminated.”

I see today how many preachers, pastors, evangelists … are rich and millionaires. However, the members of their church are falling into pieces in poverty, needing food to eat and the pastor is in opulence, not helping them! So many evangelists, multi-millionaires even billionaires in super luxury cars. Where is the Good Samaritan? And I saw many pastors ministering at the altar but I then saw this one pastor finishing ministering that day and leaving his home where his wife was and he left her to meet his lover with whom he lives too!… and she was also a member of his church!

I also saw an evangelist leaving his church and a few blocks away, he went down and saw a prostitute. The same evangelist who was ministering at the altar! Oh, Lord! Please have mercy on us!

UNHOLY ACTS – MASTURBATION
After that the Lord showed me a group of youths of a church that when they leave the church, they went to a dark place because they think that the Lord is not seeing them and they got into that place and they start masturbating and fornicating against their own bodies. And after that, they would go and minister at the altar! Presidents of youths, leaders of the church! (If you need help overcoming this sin, you can contact the address below)

UNHOLY MUSIC IN THE CHURCH
Now the Lord showed me a disco and a church and the Lord told me: “observe well” and I looked and saw that the church just looked like the disco! There was no difference! They had the same sound systems, same music, same equipment that is entering from the world into the church! The world should convert to Christianity but not the other way around. We are bringing the world into the church! Also I have to tell you this: We cannot praise and worship God with Reggaeton, with Bachaton or Rock. Even today there are Christians songs that are being sung to God and then to the world, using the very same words! They don’t mention God but only mention the word ‘love’.

I also saw Rap music and Perreo in the church and that is unacceptable. The Bible says that we must worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (for true worship see Col 3,16 & John 4, 23-24)

….. Rock is satanic and it was invented in hell. Pastors and evangelists, please get that Cursed music out of the churches!!!

The Lord then showed me the musicians that are so perverted. They are singing in the church on one hand, then they make contracts to sing even in restaurants as private musicians; they go to church to praise the Lord! Let me tell you: that music the Lord doesn’t accepts and please excuse me I must tell you the truth. What is from God is holy and separated for God and God alone. And what those musicians do today, they go, sing at the church, then they disappear from the service, because they look like they are playing to God as a contract, so they think they don’t need to be there for the rest of the service, they leave early. At that moment, the Lord told me “unfortunately, that type of church will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

HE CARES, YES HE DOES!

HOW AND WHY I MISSED MY FLIGHT TODAY

My wife and I were fully informed and later booked for a local flight to another city here in Nigeria since early November this year. Due to our busy task and activities, we started preparing for this trip early; we were putting things in place so that nothing would fall short during our travel away period.

But it got to a point when it seems we were over preparing. “Is it not this few days holiday trip? Everything is almost set. “ We also felt, “ The date is still far away, let’s relax so we don’t over prepared ourselves” So we relaxed and relented towards our preparing, feeling that almost everything was in place and the rest would be taken care of within few hours.

Our flight was timed 3:20pm and we were informed to arrivere by 2pm. Waking up this morning, after my early prayer, I rushed out for an activity, and my wife was also busy with one thing and the other. Around 9am, I felt like, “Wow, the day is still young and 2pm still far away.” And also considering that our house is not too far from the Airport, we felt little relaxed. Until when it was around 12noon that I realized many things to still do and still undone. I began to rush, hasten, drove a bit faster, hurrying myself up. “I must not miss my flight, oh no!”

Time was running closer and so I began to run faster. We eventually left home about 2:40pm, hoping to still meet the flight. With little stress we got to the Airport’s Departure entrance at 3:15pm but unfortunately they had already checked in and closed. We could not enter. Those who came early were checked in to the plane but we were left behind. Talking with the airline manager, he said we should have come early, but now they have closed and no way for us to board the plane, though they delayed a bit and expected us to come. We carried our baggage’s and went back home. Some neighbors we had bit goodbye when we were going to then airport, saw us coming back. "What happened?" We replied, "We missed our flight"

There are lessons to learn from this incidence. Do you know that the same thing is applicable to many in their spiritual living?

- You have been saved for a long time, you are aware of the coming of Jesus Christ and well preparing for it, along the way, you feel relaxed because it seems you are over preparing or you are taking things too serious. If you relent or relax, you are at the danger of missing the rapture. It is not how long you have been called into salvation or busy in the service of God, but it is how you eventually ENTER into the kingdom.

- It is not how close you are to the kingdom of Heaven that matters, but how you eventually enter. Many will be disqualified at the gate of heaven. Knowledge and anointing in our spiritual lives are not as important as living daily to please God and prepare for His coming.

- No matter how close you are to the things of God, what matter most is you having your name in the Book of life. Are you familiar with God’s things or you are faithful to God?

- Delaying your salvation is more dangerous than any danger.

- It is better to get earlier than get late, it is better to over prepare than to under prepared and later be disqualified. Nothing will ever be as painful as getting to the beautiful gate of heaven and never enter, how terrible!

- Do all you can now never to miss the last flight of the saints- RAPTURE. You can miss any flight at the airport and re-book, I came back home today with my wife from the airport after we missed our flight, talking and laughing over it. We can book for another flight later. But there is a flight with no re-booking, no second chance, we can’t afford to miss, and that is the flight of the rapture – the catching away of the repented and prepared children of God.
Those who miss the flight of the rapture will be left with the blight of Satan and Anti- Christ.

We must be prepared and prayerful never to miss this great and glorious FLIGHT OF THE RAPTURE which can take place any moment now. If you have not been genuinely saved, do not delay further. If you have backslidden as a Christian, you must take and trace your way back NOW! If you are serving God, do not relax or relent, it is dangerous here.

Matthew 25:11- 13, "“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming."

GOD BLESS YOU

THE THREE TYPES OF BLESSINGS
Genesis 49:25, “By the God of your father who will help you,And by the Almighty who will bless you. With blessings of heaven above,Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.”

There are three types of blessings a man or woman can experience on earth, these are heavenly blessings in their multitude, there are earthly blessings, and there are physical/ biological blessings.

Heavenly Blessings.

“ With blessings of heaven above” Genesis 49:25The greatest and most important blessings one can ever experience in life are heavenly blessings. The first of heavenly blessings is the salvation of your soul, when you repent and get saved and your name is written in the Book of life. Being set free from the bondage of Satan and sin, and to be united in the sweet fellowship with Godhead is the greatest thing your life can experience.

Jesus Christ came from heaven as a special gift from heaven to die for our sins and redeem us from the curse of sin; He is the Bread of life from heaven, the greatest blessings from heaven. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord, you have the greatest blessing from heaven and on earth. Heavenly blessings can also be called spiritual blessings which include the grace of God, the Holy Spirit of God, the strength to serve God and others.

Earthly Blessings.

“ Blessings of the deep that lies beneath” Genesis 49:25Every good treasure and thing on earth came from beneath the earth. The food we eat comes from beneath the earth, the trees came up from the earth through the Word of God, “Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. “ Genesis 1: 11. The animals were made from the earth, “Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.” Genesis 1:24. Gold, silver, browse, Iron, petroleum – all are from beneath the earth. They were all created by God for our benefits, and are addition to our salvation as it may be. When we are saved in Christ, our love would be towards the Creator of heaven and earth, not towards the earthly creations.

Physical Blessings

“Blessings of the breasts and of the womb” Genesis 49:25

Physical or biological blessings are good health, healing, fruitfulness of the womb, protection of God, and long life. All these are found in God, and He promises to keep us in good health and to make us fruitful and multiply us in everything we need.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE LAST WARNING!.........Please read this
This is a latest News: recently, God has been speaking to His serious minded children in every part of the world to re-commit, renew their lives and focus on holiness and purity of life, to focus on the preaching of holiness and rapture because His is coming is IMMINENT, He said because the world has come to the last hour, no longer last day, but last "hour"

I just read from somewhere about a child of God whom God revealed that the Anti-Christ and marks are set, just waiting for rapture to take place. At any time from now it will get to the last minute at unaware, and that will be known by trumpet of the rapture. We can prepare and rededicate our lives to Jesus, settle everything, repent from every form of sin and do the necessary amendment and restitution at this last hour, because no opportunity when it gets to the last minute. If at this last hour, your focus, purpose of life and pursuit is after earthly success and prosperity, you are the most foolish and miserable person!

The greatest opportunity you have now is your breath in you, you are still alive to repent, confess those secret and open sins; to re-dedicate your life to Jesus and amend your ways. Those who are in hell can't get a seconds for a second chance, they already got the 666 mark, and they are doomed forever with demons and Satan. Now you need to settle ALL. Anything can happen anytime and that is the end.....PLEASE I BEG YOU BY THE MERCY OF GOD, DON'T BE DECEIVED BY THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD: PLEASURE, PROFIT, POSSESSIONS, PROSPERITY, PROPERTIES, PROMOTIONS, and POWER & PEOPLE. Settle all now, either you have been born again or not, settle all with God, all the besetting sins, secrets sins, it-doesn't-matter sins, common sins, and undone restitution.....either you are born again or not, minister or member. PLEASE, DON'T IGNORE THIS!

Do not be among the left behind people who will lament on Facebook after the rapture. The moment is now to settle everything with the Lord Jesus Christ and secure your soul in life eternal.

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

WARNING FOR THE WISE

Proverbs 20:17, "Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel"

Satan will give you sinful pleasures, benefits and gains but to destroy you at the end. He deceives people with the stuffs of this world and many are fools to fall in his traps. Satan has everything in this world to entice people. "Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

Simple But Stupid
Satan will like to feed your body in order to get your soul lost forever. Your physical body is like a shadow that passes away, but your real person and value is your soul. When you care for your body than your soul, it shows you are spiritually stupid. Satan entices you through your craving pleasures and desires, and you trade your soul with him. Your love of money, ego, popularity, power, possessions and profits are the means by which Satan uses to entice you into sinful gains, lies, cheating, stealing, fraudulent activities, changing figures and papers; into sex, drink, smoking, and other ungodly habits of bitterness, malice, evil speaking, anger, etc. These are the seeds of destruction Satan may be feeding you with for eternal doom just as turkeys are fed for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Is it not because of all these earthly stuffs which Satan uses to attract you that has made you refused to totally surrender your life to Jesus until now? Those things are making you to delay, postpone your salvation, or to go up and down in your commitment to Jesus? Because you don't want to let go, that is the reason you are still hiding your sins, covering up, refusing to do restitution and to ignore call to holiness and righteousness. Satan can feed you with the pleasures, gains and benefits of sins for 100 years on earth in order to attract you to hell fire where 100 millions of years are just the beginning of sorrow. He will keep enticing you with everything of this world till the point of no return. "Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks, till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, he did not know it would cost his life." Proverbs 7:22,23.

Manipulation, Not Miracles
Because you are experiencing blessings and beautiful things in your life does not mean everything is fine with you or God is happy with you. Satan is just using those earthly stuffs to blindfold you so that you will feel relaxed as if nothing is wrong, until no second chance. Satan is also using the modern and motivated pastors to lure many into eternal doom with their holiness-free messages. Those testimonies, prophetic blessings and prosperity you see in those churches are satanic manipulations to keep people relax in their sins as if they are in tune with God until they are turned to the left destiny. Luke 7:22. Your Christian life without victory over sin is a defeated life under Satan. Your Christian faith with hidden sins and unsettled restitution is satanic manipulation to keep you seating on a time bomb.

Run Now Or Remain Lost!!!
Destruction is at hand, the satanic bombs in your life are set to blow, and this world is destined for destruction. Here is a second chance for the salvation of your soul, for you to rededicate your life to Jesus NOW, or you may never have a seconds for second chance. Don't ignore, don't postpone, and hardening your heart at this time is more dangerous than danger. He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Proverbs 29:1

All you need now is to surrender your total life to Jesus, to rededicate your life to Jesus in holiness and righteousness. God does not accept 99.9% but your 100% for total victory over sin and Satan. Will you be wise? Then repent, confess your sins and ask Him to forgive you, cleanse and save you. And start a new life in Jesus.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND XMAS! (Please read)
Do you know that there is difference between Christmas and Xmas?

I see many Christians typing “Xmas” instead of Christmas, even on our page; many are ignorant of this and some are living outside of Christ.

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ among Christians worldwide; as we celebrate Christmas, Christ is set as the priority and the center of the celebration, so it is more than secular or social celebration, but a Christian celebration with in-depth meaning in our relationship with God. That God love us so much that He sent His only begotten Son for us; that Jesus Christ was born for us, for our salvation, IMMANUEL! Christmas also signifies that the world is recognizing and calling Jesus the Christ, that the Messiah of the world; it is a witness to pass message to the world that Christ has been born and you are called to be born again in Christ.

But along the way, the devil was not happy as the word “Christmas” was circulating around the world everywhere even in the official, secular and social places, people calling Jesus Christ; and so people under the control of Satan moved to cancel Christ from Christmas, to remove Christ from the December 25th celebration, and you know when Christ is left from a celebration, when Christ is not glorified in whatever you are doing, it become idolatry.

So, in subtle and modern English, they cancelled Christ from Christmas and replaced it with Xmas. In English, X is another sign of cancelling, removing or wronging something. A symbol of approval may look like this √ or to mark something right but to cancel something, to disapprove something, you can use a symbol of X. This is the Xmas you have today, where Christ is removed and cancelled = Xmas. So where is the Christ in the Christmas we are celebrating today?

HISTORY
If you search the history of the word “Xmas” online, you will see different answers. They said that in Greek letters, X stands for “Chi” but since 'X' is not Chi in English, we read the word as X-mas and see no connection with Christ. In the United States, in 1977 New Hampshire Governor Meldrim Thomson sent out a press release saying that he wanted journalists to keep the 'Christ' in Christmas and not call it Xmas--which he called a 'pagan' spelling of Christmas. An American Evangelist and Missionary Franklin Graham told CNN journalist Roland Martin in an interview: "For us as Christians, this is one of the most holy of the holidays, the birth of our saviour Jesus Christ. And for people to take Christ out of Christmas. They're happy to say merry Xmas. Let's just take Jesus out. – allafrica.com

CHRISTMAS
Christmas is celebrating the birth of Christ into the world, and more than that, it is celebrating your birth in Christ, being born again, or how will you better celebrate Christmas without you being genuinely born again? That is useless! John 3:3

Christmas is remembering the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and renewing our commitment to His service – living for Him and sharing the Good news to all men - evangelism! John 3:35, 36

Christmas is remembering the sacrificial giving of God, and practise the giving. “For God so loved the world that He gave His begotten Son” John 3:16. Giving is part and parcel of Christmas, sharing with others, no matter how small. You celebrating Christmas without sharing is an empty Christmas.

XMAS
Xmas is a manipulated type of celebration by the unsaved, though claimed to be Christians. It is a pagan way of calling Christmas, they are scared to called “Christ” or they show they reject Jesus as the Christ of their lives, or they see writing “Christmas” as too long and lonesome.

Xmas is celebrating on December 25th without genuine salvation in Christ.

Xmas is celebrating Christmas in a way that will not glorify Christ.

Xmas is celebrating Christmas without Christ as the center.

WHICH ONE DO YOU CELEBRATE?
With the clear differences listed above, you can clarify which type you have been celebrating or you are celebrating today. The genuine celebration of Christ begins the day you are genuinely born again, and on the Christmas, you make Christ the center of your celebrating, you do everything that will glorify Christ, you use the period to share the Good news of the birth of Christ.

NOTE 1: If you have not experienced genuine salvation that gives victory of adamic nature, addicted sins, and common sins, or if your Christian life has gone low or backward, you can use today to rededicate your life to Jesus and experience the purpose and power of His birth. Please click on this link, read the short message and pray as directed http://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-can-i-be-saved/270674586372252

NOTE 2: If you have been saved, you need to recommit yourself to serve God better and share His Good news more than ever before. The end is nearer than before. And do not join the pagan to call or type Christmas as Xmas.

God bless you and Merry CHRISTmas!

Bringing Out the Best in Your Spouse
-by James Ford

I will never forget what transpired between a former associate pastor and his wife. Sister Davis would approach Brother Davis at the end of Sunday service with her hands on her hips and attitude written all over her face. Just like a well-memorized script, she would say, “Davis, let’s go, boy. I’m hungry!” Immediately, he would snap back at her, “Wait until I get through with my conversation!”

Sister Davis would then respond, “Look, boy. We’ve been here since 8:00 a.m. and after three services, I’m hungry. Wrap that conversation up so we can go.” It would make her just that much angrier when he would coolly respond, “I said, ‘we’ll go when I finish talking with my pastor and these brothers.’”

Just as a reminder to him, she would stomp away and sulk within visible distance. This scenario was repeated virtually every Sunday for several years. After a while, when I just couldn’t take it any longer, I called her one Sunday evening and the following conversation ensued.

“Sister Davis, this is Pastor Ford.”

“Hello, Pastor.”

“How are you this fine Sunday evening?”

“Well, to be honest , Pastor, I’m trying to recover from my ordeal with my husband. He knows we’re at church nearly six hours every Sunday and sometimes we haven’t even had breakfast. Yet, after the services have ended, he has to stand around running his mouth with the fellas. Every Sunday I tell him not to do that but every Sunday it’s the same thing. The worst part is that we fuss and argue from the time we leave the parking lot, we eat our meal in silence, and then we go to bed sleeping back to back.”

“Sister Davis, I’d like to help you change all of that, if you’ll let me.”

“Of course, I will let you, Pastor. Just tell him to start being more sensitive to me on Sundays and maybe that will do it.”

“I don’t believe that’s the answer, Sister Davis.”

“Well, what is it, Pastor?”

“You know, the Bible teaches that a man needs respect. Right?”

“Yes, I know that it does.”

“Well, do you think he feels respected when you approach him while he is talking to other men, commanding him with your hands on your hips and calling him boy?”

“Now, Pastor, we call each other boy and girl on a regular basis. And—“

“Wait, please hear me out before you go on the defensive. Let me suggest that next Sunday, instead of taking your usual stance, try this instead: Don’t approach him like you’re angry. Walk up to him and say, ‘Excuse me, gentlemen.’ Then say, ‘Sweetheart, may I speak to you in private for a moment?’ When he says okay, put your arms around his waist, look into his eyes, and softly say, ‘Baby, I’m hungry. Let’s leave and get something to eat, please.’”

On the following Sunday evening, I was well into my after-hours worship services ritual, meaning I was allowing the TV to watch me. Then, my wife woke me up with an apology. She said, “Honey, I apologize for waking you up, but Sister Davis is on the phone. I told her that I didn’t want to wake you but she said that it was urgent.”

I answered the phone only to hear the very enthusiastic voice of Sister Davis exclaiming, “Oh, Pastor, I’m sorry for having Sister Leslie wake you up, but I had to let you know that I did exactly what you instructed me to. And I must say that we had the best Sunday we’ve had in years. When I said what you suggested, he said, ‘Okay, Baby.’ Then he turned to the brothers and told them he would talk with them later. He said, ‘I have to take my honey out to eat.’”

“Pastor, we had a very pleasant conversation on the way to dinner. We also had a great conversation over dinner. Then, we went home and did something on a Sunday evening that hadn’t happened in many years. So just had to tell you how much I appreciate your showing me how to be a better wife to my husband.”

I laugh about this incident every time I think about it. Now, this story could have been a reverse situation where the husband needed some advice on how to treat his wife. But the reality is that it reinforces one of God’s reasons for creating marriage—the “perfecting” reason.

Completing each other

Did you know that as a married couple you and your mate are supposed to bring out the best qualities in each other? One of the main reasons why God created marriage was to create a spiritual reception between the husband and wife to prepare them for just that purpose. In fact, I call it the perfecting reason.

The way in which God brought together the first two individuals was so that they would accept each other in their respective roles. In Adam’s acceptance of Eve as his counterpart he fulfilled God’s design for the man’s role in marriage. Adam was now complete in every sense of his being.

The same is true of Eve’s existence. The moment God created her out of the man and joined her together with her counterpart, Eve’s total makeup as a woman was complete. The couple graciously received their individual parts and the two became one flesh just as the three members of the Trinity are one God.

Together, the man and woman became a fulfillment of God’s desire for them to complete each other in matrimony. But what does it really mean for one person to complete another? And how do we recognize it when we think in terms of a marriage relationship? At first glance, two people “completing” each other sounds like the sugary words from the lyrics of an old love song. But it goes much deeper than that. It is a God-inspired idea.

When a man and woman complete each other it means they are positioned to enrich each other’s lives. And that is what the perfecting reason for marriage is all about. To “perfect” something or someone means to make it or them better. God set this pattern so that what takes place in a marriage union is that the husband and wife receive each other in a physical and spiritual way. It is how He intends for us to perfect each other.

Building each other up

In a spiritual sense, Adam was an incomplete being before God created Eve. He was physically intact but something was missing from his life. He did not have everything that he needed to match the blueprint God had drawn up for the human family that He was planning to live on earth. So, God caused Adam to sleep and took a piece of his rib to create Eve.

Now, Adam was half the man he used to be because a physical part of him was taken away. But God used that same part to create Eve. In His wisdom, this was all part of His plan to form a partnership so that the individual partners would not just coexist but they would actually complete each other.

Moreover, God gave the man and woman the ability to better each other’s experience on earth. This is a lifelong process; it doesn’t happen overnight. When you think about your own relationship, you will most likely agree that there is always room for improvement.

Well, just as He did for the first couple, God made preparations for you and your spouse to develop and improve your relationship over time. Even the little things that you do when you treat each other with kindness such as anticipating her needs, rubbing his tired feet, and sending flowers for no apparent reason. These are things that build each other up.

Brother and Sister Davis were doing just the opposite by being on a destructive path of tearing each other down. It only took a simple suggestion to help them turn their situation around. When Sister Davis acted on it, they both got the benefit.

The same applies to you and your spouse. You can only reach the kind of perfection God wants for you by showing love toward one another. This is what Sister Davis realized when she took my advice. When she began to approach her husband in a positive way, then he was able to respond favorably to her. The change in behavior that she adopted proved successful to get both of them results they were pleased with.

That change took their attention away from their negativity and shined the spotlight on their love. That’s what God is talking about.

THE LORD SUPPER
1 Corinthians 11:24, "And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

The Lord Supper, as we also call Holy Communion, is a symbolic participation of the New Covenant through the flesh and Blood of Jesus Christ. Just like Water Baptism, the Lord's Supper is also an outward or physical symbol of what takes place in the spiritual realm. Matthew 26:26-28, "And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."

The Lord's Supper is the personification of the Lord's sacrifice and New Covenant, and observing it is a command of Jesus Christ to all His followers. The Lord's Supper or Holy Communion is a demonstration of what was involved in the New Covenant: The flesh and Blood of Jesus Christ. There cannot be covenant without the shedding of the blood. As the Old Testament involved shedding of the blood, so also the New covenant involved the blood, but better blood.

THE OLD PASSOVER AND COVENANT
Hebrews 9:19-22
"For after Moses had read each of God’s commandments to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, and sprinkled both the book of God’s law and all the people, using hyssop branches and scarlet wool. 20 Then he said, “This blood confirms the covenant God has made with you.” 21 And in the same way, he sprinkled blood on the Tabernacle and on everything used for worship. 22 In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness."

The Old Covenant involved the shedding of the blood of calves and goats as a symbol of the real thing to come through Jesus. We need to understand that the blood of these animals didn't remove the sins of the people of the Old Testament, it only served as shadow and pacified, pended their sins until the death of Jesus Christ. The blood of Jesus Christ paid for the sins of all saints from Old Testament to the New Testament. How did that happened? The Old covenant was a shadow and symbol of what was to come. Jesus Christ had been foreordained to die for the remission of our sins before God created Adam, because God knew the end from the beginning; He knew Adam and Eve would fall into sin even before He created them, and Jesus Christ had agreed to die for the remission of sins of all humanity from Adam to the last generation of the world. 1 Peter 1:19, 20, "But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you."

So, all the sins of the people in the Old Testament were debited to the account of Jesus Christ who was to come at the appointed time. It is just like a wealthy and rich man who was traveled abroad, and he told his people at home to buy and get whatever things they needed for themselves on his own account so that he would pay when he comes back. Then the people were given tickets to get what they wanted and write them on the tickets. When the rich man came back, he paid with his own credit card. The tickets the people were using before the arrival of the rich man were not credit cards, but symbol and shadow pending the time the rich man would come to pay with his credit card. In reality, all the sins of the saints of old were debited on the account of Jesus Christ, their forgiveness were given on the account of the blood of Jesus Christ who was to come at the appointed time. Jesus came at once and paid the sins once and for all, He had not to die for Adam, Abraham, Moses at different time; He had not to die for the people in Old Testament and the people of New Testament separately, "He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." Hebrews 9:26.

Jesus' sacrifice paid for the sins of the people of Old Testament, for the people when He came to the world and for the people that would later come to the world, all at once.

BETTER COVENANT: NEW COVENANT OF JESUS
Hebrews 10:4, "For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins."
The sacrifices of calves and goats could not take away sins, it could only pend sins, debit sins to the account of Jesus Christ. Then at the appointed time, Jesus came.

Hebrews 10:5-10:
"Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:

“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire,
But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’”

8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."

That is the reason The Lord's Supper had to replace the Old Testament Passover, since the blood of calves and goats being used for the Passover is of no use again, and such sacrifices are now irrelevant. Animal sacrifices or sacrifices of any kind are no longer accepted by God since the sacrifice of Jesus, those who do sacrifices now are only sacrificing to demons.

DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME!
1 Corinthians 11:24,25, "and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken[c] for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Jesus Christ commanded us to observe His Supper, Holy Communion. This is a command for every Christian fellowship and denomination to regularly observe The Lord's Supper.

THE AIMS OF THE LORD'S SUPPER
Many denominations and churches today are observing Holy Communion, some on weekly, so monthly and others quarterly or yearly, but the Bible truth is that, majority of the churches observing Holy Communion are not following the biblical aim and purpose of the ordinance, and most of the believers partaking in the table do not have biblical understanding of what they are taking. Apostle Paul received the the instruction of The Lord's Supper directly from the Lord Jesus, and he gave the instruction to the churches. "For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you." 1 Corinthians 11:23.

Apostle Paul helped us to understand the aim and purpose of taking The Lord's Supper:

(1) To Put To Remember The sacrifice of Jesus. "....do this in remembrance of Me.” 1 Corinthians 11:24. When we take The Lord Supper, we remember the cost and sacrifice of out Lord Jesus Christ, lest we be forgettable and misuse the covenant.

When we take The Lord's Supper, (i) we remember what it costs Jesus to pay for our reconciliation and to save us, and we can be diligent.Hebrews 10:28, 29, "Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?" (ii) we remember that we were redeemed by His blood and no longer under the bondage of old sinful life and satanic slavery. 1 Peter 1:18-21, "knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God." The blood of Jesus gives us power over sin, over sickness and Satan; these are some of our benefits of the death of Jesus and we should always remember to claim them. (iii) we remember the special love of the Father and the Son for us. Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." When we put this to remembrance, we will always be grateful for His undeserved love toward us.

(2) To Proclaim Jesus Death. "For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes." 1 Corinthians 11:26.
When we take The Lord's Supper, we are proclaiming His death, in what way? (i) By our ways of life, we are not living for ourselves anymore, but for Him who died for us. 2 Corinthians 5:15, "And He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again." (ii) We preach Him who died for the sins of humanity. After we benefit from the death of Jesus, we need to proclaim His death to others by preaching to them so they can be free also. 1 Corinthians 1:23, "But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness"

(3) To Prepare For Jesus' Second Coming. "....till He comes." 1 Corinthians 11:26.
When we partake in The Lord's Supper, we remember He is coming back, and we must not be found wanting. Acts 1:10, 11, "And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” When we partake in the Lord's Supper, we present our spiritual weaknesses to Jesus, and ask Him to revive and renew our hearts and strength; our commitment, our prayer lives, our evangelism lives should receive new strength when we partake in The Lord's Supper.

(4) To Examine Ourselves. "But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup." 1 Corinthians 11:28. This is a major benefit of taking The Lord Supper, it is a great opportunity of serf examination. There are some little sins and shortcomings we may overlook on daily bases and care less to correct, but when we come together at the table, we have opportunity for sober reflection for each one to examine himself. The leaders and members come together in a sober gathering to examine themselves, to settle matters, knowing fully well, that what will disqualify us from taking The Lord Supper will definitely hinder us from making heaven. Each man examines himself, and the fellowship examine themselves together; expressing each other minds, and forgiving each other. "For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged." 1 Corinthians 11:31. This is a great opportunity for solemn gathering for individual and collective sober reflection.

This also a means to renew commitment to God and to one another in love and selflessness. In John 3:16, we read how God gave us His Son to die for us, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." In 1 John 3:16, "By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren." How do we relate John 3:16 and 1 John 3:16 together? We should examine ourselves and follow the example of Jesus sacrifice and also sacrifice for one another.

THE MATERIALS AND MEANING
The elements of the Lord’s Supper for Bible Christians are unleavened bread in one lump or loaf and nonalcoholic red wine from grapes. The only bread present at the Last Supper of our Lord Jesus Christ had to be unleavened bread, because our Lord used the bread of the Passover Supper, which had to be unleavened bread, which is why the Passover Feast was also called the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Matthew 26:17, "Now on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” Our Lord Jesus Christ certainly used unleavened bread for instituting the Lord's Supper. The cup at the Last Supper contained the fruit of the vine. Luke 22:18, "for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."

Why unleavened bread? Because the church must be free from the leaven of malice, hypocrisy and all forms of sins; the church must be pure, plain and practical without pretense and pollution. 1 Corinthians 5:6-8, "Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."

Paul also taught that the bread of the Lord's Supper should be one loaf that is broken during the Supper. The bread symbolizes the body of Jesus Christ that was torn for us, but it also symbolizes the unity of the congregation in one bread. I Corinthians 10:16-17, "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread." Apostle called the bread a single lump. I Corinthians 5:7, "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us" KJV. Manufactured wafers as many churches use or crackers like Catholics use precludes us from breaking the bread and showing the two pictures that the Lord and His apostles intended for us to see. There must be breaking of the break to really show love and unity among the brethren.

The red wine of grapes symbolizes the blood of Jesus. Note that these materials are used at the The Lord's Supper to personify the body and blood of Jesus, and so they are not in real sense the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

THE WRONG SYSTEM OF THE LORD SUPPER
Many believers and churches are misusing and misinterpreting The Lord's Supper for personal and physical purposes, and so they are doing it in non-biblical ways and for non-biblical purposes. These wrong purposes and participation are:

(1) Child Participation. It is not biblical for children who have not reached the age of accountability to partake in The Lord's Supper. Bible does not mention specific age for the participation, but the person must reach the age to be able to examine him or herself. I don't think a child who is not mature enough to examine himself is qualified to partake in the Lord's Supper.

(2) General Participation. Today, some churches are declaring The Lord's Supper open to the general public, some even tag it a special program like "Sunday Service and Holy Communion". This is an act of ignorance of the Word of God. The Lord Supper is not ordained for the purpose or means of catching blessings, it is only meant for those who are truly saved for sober reflection. Taking The Lord's Supper unworthy only attracts present damages and eternal destruction. 1 Corinthians 11:29, 20, "For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep."

(3) Physical Blessing. The major and primary purposes of The Lord's Supper are for our spiritual lives and preparation of the Lord Jesus who died for us as stated above,but interpreting and focusing it on outward blessings of healing and financial blessing is a sign of backsliding and ignorant church and people.

The knowledge of these should help us to get things rights in our lives and ministries, and get the blessings and benefits of this biblical ordinance.

Matthew 26:26-29
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” 27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

If we are faithful till the end in our Christian living and ministries, we will be with Jesus in His Father's kingdom to take the Marriage supper of the Lamb. "Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” Revelation 19:9.

May we not miss that in Jesus name!

HAVE YOU BEEN TO GETHSEMANE? ……Please read this!

Have you ever visited Gethsemane recently? It’s inspiring and very refreshing there. There is no other place on earth as pleasant and peaceful as this wonderful place called Gethsemane. The Gethsemane in topic here is not a country, state or a street; it's not a church or physical place. It’s a spiritual place that every serious minded Christian and every one who cares to make heaven must be visiting as the situation demands.

Gethsemane is a place where you surrender your struggles unto God and receive strength in return to see you through in your onward journey to eternal life. It’s a point where you surrender your ways, your wills, your wish and your wants to God and you accept His will and word into your life.

No pretense, struggle is natural and human, it was applicable to Jesus Christ likewise during His earthly ministration as He was about to move forward to Calvary for our work of redemption. At Gethsemane, He expressed His struggle to God but He surrendered His struggle, His wish and want, to God’s will. Have you been struggling with your life, living as you want? You urgently need to surrender all to Jesus now and let Him give you a brand new life with eternal value.

Have you been struggling with a particular sin in your life? Rising and falling? Maybe you think it doesn’t matter or you can’t help give it up? Have you been struggling with un-forgiveness or any matter in your life and you find it hard to let go? You need to surrender all to Him now, all, not 99%; so that you don’t loose all. You repent, confess and ask Him to take over from here.

Have you being struggling with God’s will in your personal life? For your marriage, ministry, etc? No pretense, it’s not easy but it’s easier to surrender to God than to struggle. Jesus understands, He has been in such situation before and He wants you to visit Gethsemane as He did; where He surrendered all to His Father’s will saying, “Not as I will, but as You will.” Do not continue to struggle with God's will for your life, it is a sorrowful life.

When we surrender our struggles to God in sincere prayer and confession, He gives us the strength that will sustain and hold us through it all, no matter how difficult. And at the end we shall sing songs of praise and victory! Take it all to God in prayer with all sincerity and surrender; He is waiting for you right there!

“Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” - Matthew 26:36-39

“Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. 44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” – Luke 22:43, 44

" Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MIGHTY MIRACLES WITHOUT REPENTANCE!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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