BORN OF GOD! “If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.” 1 John 2:29 You can be born again and yet not born of God. Many born again Christians will not enter heaven and end up in hell because they fail to move forward to be born of God after they are born again. To be born again is to be born of Water - John3:3- that is, to repent and confess your sin and be forgiven by God. But to be born of God is to be born of Water and Spirit – John 3:5- that is to start a new life in Jesus after salvation by bearing the fruit of the Spirit, to begin to practice righteousness. Many who claim to be born again and continue in their sinful lives are half born and half short to enter Heaven. Being born again is a passport “to see” but being born of God is a visa “to enter”. Read John 3:3-5. God is Spirit, God is righteous, and those who are born of Him walk in Spirit, worship Him in Spirit and work in righteousness. If you are born again but you still find yourself to be victim of sin; after your salvation in Jesus, if you still fall into sin, what you need now is a second touch of God by re-devoting, rededicating your life to God afresh and forsake all old sinful life totally and start a complete new life in Jesus. If you are born of God, you will practice righteousness that is the only evidence and assurance of heaven. The doctrine of claiming of righteousness of Jesus without living righteous is satanic end time false teaching, don't be deceived! 1 John 3:7 - 9 "Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 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. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God." if you will like to surrender your life to Jesus, rededicate your life to Jesus, please click the link http://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-can-i-be-saved/270674586372252 You can also contact us on email or phone for prayer, counsel or if you need biblical enlightenment on personal issues: Revelation of Truth Evangelical Ministries, RTEM Our Email: rtemoutreaches@yahoo.com Our Tel: (+234) (0)803 924 9751, (0)705 937 3351, (0)802 578 7942.

WHAT IS VAIN REPETITION IN PRAYER? “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” Matthew 6:7 Jesus Christ directed us not to involve vain repetitions in our prayers, and so what is vain repetition? Does it mean praying long prayer or saying a word or statement repeatedly? Does it means asking God something more than once in our prayer, even though we have not received it? NO, vain repetition is none of the above. Vain repetition is more serious, subtle, and deceptive. There is different between “vain repetition” and “repetition”. . Jesus prayed three times at Gethsemane and repeated the same prayer points. Jesus did not say we should not repeat or re-emphasize in our prayers, He did not oppose repetition, but only “vain” repetition. Vain repetition comes in various ways which many of us get involved unknowingly. Jesus said, “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do.” This shows that vain repetitions were originally the act of the heathen, the people who worshiped false gods and the religious people. Here are some vain repetitions: FAITH IN PRAYER The heathens’ faith is hinged on their prayer, believing the answers to their prayers are determined by their prayer, "For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” Matthew 6:7. The heathen keep repeating in pain, hoping their gods will consider how they suffer themselves, and answer them. Let’s see example from the Bible: 1 kings 18:26-28, “So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice; no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made. 27 And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.” 28 So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.” In Christianity, our faith does not depend on our prayer but on the God who answers prayer. Christ did not teach us to put our faith in our prayer, but in God that answers prayer; He said we should even believe God’s answers before praying. So, “It is not by power, neither by might, but by My Spirit” says the Lord. Using candle, anointing oil, handkerchief or other stuffs to pray is an act of the heathen; the scripture directs us to pray only in the name of Jesus Christ and believe God for answer, simple! Anything apart from that is extra-biblical phenomenon. There is nothing called special prayer, special man of God for speedy answer or special place to pray in the teaching of Jesus Christ; running from mountains to meetings, traveling from far distance to a program for special prayer is an act of the heathen. We can travel far distance to hear the Word of God that will help our spiritual lives, and we can travel far distance to do the work of God, but not for special prayer or to meet special man of God who will help us pray to God. When you become a child of God, and living your life to please Him, you have access to God through the name of Jesus Christ, without intermediary. Only the heathen, unbelievers or unserious Christians need somebody to help them present their requests to God. As children of God, we can pray for one another and pray together, but not presenting our prayers to another person to pray to God on our behalf. Giving minister money for prayer, paying money or making vow before prayer is unscriptural. PRAYER WITHOUT FAITH This is common in the lives of many Christians today, we pray as routine, just to pray because we are Christians, without faith in God for the prayer, without expectation for the prayer. Prayer without faith is in vain. We pray because we serve God that answers prayer, who delights in our prayer. Prayer is an exciting activity because God listens and answers, but when prayer becomes boring to you, it means you do not have faith that God listens or will answer your prayer. The fact that God delays to answer your demands does not means He is denying you or He does not delight in you; God is only doing great things on your behalf that will daze many who will later hear your testimony. If you have the knowledge that whenever you pray, heaven stands still, that God is waiting for the sweet smelling of your prayer, you will look forward to praying, and not look warm in prayer. Jesus did not ask us to pray for the sake of praying as a Christian routine, but He asks us to pray so that we can receive. John 16:24, “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” Praying without expectation is a vain repetition; until you are expectant, you have asked nothing. PRAYER WITHOUT OBEDIENCE Obedience to God is more important than prayer to God. When you ignore to obey God’s word, and you keep praying, it means you are doing vain repetitions. Maybe you suppose to repent and confess your sin, but you ignore that and keep praying for God’s mercy, such prayer is vain repetition. Some people commit sins, and instead of them to open up, confess to God and the necessary people, they keep praying for forgiveness and mercy – they are doing VAIN repetition. We can only receive mercy when we confess and forsake our sins. Proverbs 28:13. When the Spirit of God is leading you to open up your covered sin or to do restitution, but you refuse to obey, and you keep praying for mercy, mercy; you are only doing vain repetition. Obedience is better than sacrifice! Maybe you are living in sin, living with sinful partner, doing a sinful business, working at an ungodly place, using fake document, age or you are benefiting from your past sin; then the Word of God is warning you to forsake the sins and forfeit the sinful benefits and surrender all to God, but instead of you to simply obey, you remain in the sinful thing and you keep fasting and praying for God’s mercy. Such prayer is a waste of time and a vain repetition. Some even go to the extent of giving huge amount of money and time for God’s work, thinking God will consider that and overlook their disobedience; they are ignorant that God cannot be bribed by fasting, long prayer or sacrifices. Obedience to God’s word is more important than prayer and fasting, than sowing or giving for God’s work. Your pastors or your church can accept your gifts and pray for you, but you are not at peace with your Creator until you simply obey. Matthew 5:23, 24, “Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” Prayer should be made continuously without ceasing. In any particular request, we should keep asking, reminding God until our joy is full - that is faith repetition not vain repetition. Keep the Word of God in total obedience, keep the faith, and keep praying until your joy is full. John 14:13-16: And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. 15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.

GOD IS WAITING TO BLESS YOU! Please read! "And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” Joshua 3:5 God is eager to bless us, but most times, we block Him or disallow Him from blessing us. "How?" Yes, we pray for God's blessing, we plead for God's blessing different areas of our lives, but many time we do not put ourselves in place for the blessing. There are some children of God here who are trusting God for marital partners, for God's intervention in their troubled marriages, for childbearing, for financial blessings, for healing, for promotion, for special anointing; but they have not put themselves together for the reality of the blessings. Here is God's messages for some of our brethren here:The Lord is set to do wonders in your life, even now, in the area you have been waiting and praying on, but you need to sanctify yourself so that your life will not repel God's presence. There are some things in your life, which you accommodated that are hindering the free move of God in your life, so the blessings are pending. These things may be some worldly activities you usually engaged in, like masturbation, worldly music, movies or magazines; it may be the worldly dress that have been hindering your prayer for godly partner. You cannot indulge in worldly dress and expect godly partner; you cannot indulge in worldly dress and expect God to transform your husband. These self-hindrances to God's blessings may also be unsettled restitution, unfaithfulness to tithes and offerings, lack of love and cheerful giving to people in need - brethren and family members, it may also be your no time for evangelism - if you are a child of God and you don't have time for preaching the word of God, how do you want God to have time for you? You need husband, wife, and God needs you to win souls, will you mind? You need God's intervention in your marriage, business or job, and God wants you to use your phone, facebook and time to share Gospel to people, will you be ready for the exchange? Note that those things will not only hinder you from receiving God's desired blessings, but also hinder you from making heaven - double lost! For you not to suffer double lost, for you not to live miserable on earth and miss heaven, God is asking you to sanctify your life, rededicate your life to Him, surrender all to Him, and "tomorrow" the Lord will do wonders among you.” Joshua 3:5 Are you set for God's blessings? Then sanctify yourself and surrender all!

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY AFTER YOU ARE SAVED IN CHRIST? As you as a person possess spirit, soul and body; your body is your physical entity, your soul is your real person and your spirit is like your conscience, giving you the consciousness of God and His will. When you die, you will immediately get out of your dead body– Genesis 35:18, “And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died)” and the body will perish,that is, goes back to the earth; the spirit goes back to God, and then it will now remains you, that is your soul. WHO ARE YOU? Your real person that is bearing your name is not your body, because your body belongs to the earth; your real person that is you indeed is not your spirit, your spirit belongs to God and it will return to God when you die, but your real person is your soul, that is, your soul is yourself. Your soul is hiding under your body to live temporary on earth, and after that your soul goes and moves on. You get out of your body when you die, and then you are set to face judgment as it has been given to man to die once and after that judgment. Every soul in sin is in bondage of Satan and heading to hell, no matter how nice, popular or powerful the person may be; immediately the person dies he reaches and enter inside hell, When the Bible says the soul that sins shall die in Ezekiel 18:4, it is not talking about physical death but second death. WHAT IS SECOND DEATH? Second death is eternal, unending torment in hell fire. Revelation 21:8, "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” When you give your life to Jesus and experience Salvation through Jesus and by Jesus, your soul is set free from the bondage, that is what makes you experience peace unspeakable joy, and so you are saved from the looming destruction of eternity. Salvation brings restoration of your soul back to relationship with God. Psalm 23:3, “He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.” HOW ABOUT YOUR BODY? But then what happens to your body when your soul is saved? The answer is simply nothing! Your body remains the same as it was before you were saved. You remember your body is a channel by which the devil uses to seduce you to commit sin? ….... the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. James 3:6. The process will still remain the same. Your body is not saved, it is your soul that is saved. After you are saved in Christ, your unsaved body will want to pull you back into sin, the pleasant and pressure of sin will come on your body. When the Spirit of God in you motivates your soul to read Bible, your body will say to you, "No, don't read Bible" If you are reading just any book or watching football or any sport competition, you may not fall asleep, but when you want to read Bible, you fall asleep. When the Spirit of God moves your soul to pray, your body will say, " Not now" If you are paying attention to non spiritual matters or talking with people, you may not that easily fall asleep, but when you want to pray and talk with God, you begin to feel deep sleep. On an ordinary day, you may not feel hungry without eating till afternoon, but when you want to fast, you may start feeling serious hunger since 6 am. When your soul wants to do God’s will, your very body will oppose. Your saved soul will want to live righteous life but your body will say no. Your case is not special, it happens to everybody, even to Apostle Paul. “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.” Romans 7:18, 19 SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO? As saved children of God, we must not allow our body to overcome our spirit again, we must not allow the pressure and persuasion of the flesh to overcome our souls in Christ. Because a child of God does not obey the flesh any more, no longer walking in the flesh. Romans 8:12, “Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” That is what makes the difference between sinner and saint, when you are saved and before you are saved. Before you were saved, you obeyed the commands of the flesh into sins, but now God forbids. So what are we going to do with our persistent and stubborn body after we are saved? What are the things we must do to our body after the salvation of our soul? Let's see what Paul did to his body that helped him to pleased and served God till the end. I Corinthians 9:27, "But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection" Another version says, "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection" To disciplining and keep our body under subjection of the Holy Spirit is what we must do every day, and every hour so as to live to please God and make heaven at the end. But you may ask,"How am I going to possibly discipline and subdue my body under" The Bible answer is that, for us to overcome and subdue our body every day, we need to do three things. Let's see what Jesus said in Matthew 26:41, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” WORD, WATCH AND PRAY! (1) WORD OF GOD: We grow and get strength to resist and subdue the flesh through God’s Word. God’s Word sanctifies us and strengthens us against sin. “Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11. Daily Bible reading, at least 2 chapters a day, and meditation on what we read give us daily victory over the flesh. “How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.” Psalm 119:9. (2) PRAYER: “A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian” To subdue the flesh in our Christian life, we need daily prayer for God’s help and strength. Without daily prayer, we can’t make it. Jesus commanded us to be prayerful so as the overcome the flesh and live righteous life. Matthew 26:41. Fervent prayer to subdue the flesh, to renew our strength and receive God’s grace. At least, a serious minded Christian must take 1 hour to pray daily on his or her Christian life and grow from there. (3) WATCH: How do we watch out to deal with our body in new life in Jesus? The answer is by discipline and keeping it under God’s spirit. That was what Paul did to his stubborn body. 1 Corinthians 9:27, “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” It involves daily watchfulness over our hearts, thoughts, thinking, tongues, tones, tempers and attitudes; watching what type of music we listen to, what type of movies we watch, what type of pictures we look, and our lifestyle generally; guiding and subduing them with God’s word. But we can’t do that with or by our own human ability, we can’t change our sinful habits by our own abilities. It takes God’s grace and strength of the Holy Spirit. Not by power, nor by might but by My Spirit says the LORD. Zechariah 4:6. We get that through prayer. May the Lord help us to be watchful and prayerful as we continue in our onward Christian journey to eternal life, no turning back, no looking back, we have decided to follow Jesus to heaven, not to half way, in Jesus name.

CHRISTIANITY AND RELIGION: ANY DIFFERENCE? “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 The Lost, Toiling & Trying! From the garden of Eden when man lost the free access to God, it had been hard for humanity to regain the access. Humanity had been toiling to re-gain access back to God, human efforts aiming at getting back to God has been abortive, humanity toiling tirelessly to find God by several means never succeeded, no matter how hard. Since every man and woman has conscience, the inner, inborn awareness of God; our in-depth longing to find God cannot be satisfied by our own effort of toiling or trying. What Is Religion? Religion means human being toiling to find God. There are several religions every where in the world, they are motivated by human longing to find God, and they are inspired by Satan to make people believe they can, by doing so, find God or they have found God by their religious efforts. This human toiling started at the building of Babel, when humanity agreed to build a tower under the leadership of Nimrod, in order to gain access to God and find Him. "And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens." Genesis 11:4. Since then, there have been several other religions of different styles and systems of worships, aiming to get access to God. But the truth of the reality is that, religion is a deceptive and also a terrible sin because it involves two evils: deception and disrespect – Self deception and downgrading the standard of God. It is a deception of high level when you believe your own human efforts and wisdom can gain you access to God and make you righteous before God. Human effort is vanity, and human righteousness is filthy rag; for any man to believe his religion can make him righteous before God is a dangerous deception. The evil and sin of every religion is that it's an act of downgrading and relegating the standard of God as a man to think he can find God or he has found God by human knowledge, activity or power. To represent the Creator by any creature is an evil and disrespect to God, to make a fellow man an access to God is evil, and to believe human power and wisdom can serve God is a disrespect to God. No matter how hard a man toils, he cannot find God because God is too mighty to be fathomed by human wisdom and strength. Since you have been trying all religious activities, have you experienced inner peace or certainty of eternity? Have you experienced victory over sin and Satan? Why do you keep having fear within and in-dept anxiety about your life after death? The bad news about religion is that it cannot find God, no matter the name or popularity of the religion, you can never find God; no matter how religious, disciplined or good you are, you can never find peace or rest for your soul. Humanity seeking God by their human effort and knowledge, called religion, cannot find God. Every religion tries different means to seek God and to supplicate unto God, but no religion has successfully found God, because God is unfathomable, His personality and knowledge transcends human comprehension. We cannot relate with God on the ground of religion. When God saw the predicament of humanity that it was impossible for a mortal man to seek and find an immortal God, God Himself came to the world to seek for man. In the likeness of man, Jesus Christ came to the world to seek for the lost humanity. Luke 19:10, “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” That is the different between Christianity and religion, religion is man seeking God, but Christianity is God seeking man. Your religion, your toiling, your self discipline and good work can not give you access to God Almighty; they cannot save you. Jesus Christ is also God Himself, He is God the Son; He came to this world in human form, He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born as a Man to rescue the humanity. He died for humanity on cross and rose up the third day. He was given all powers and authorities and He ascended into Heaven. Now, you need genuine salvation in Jesus Christ who died for you and rose for you; you need to accept Him as the Lord of your life by realizing your shortcomings and your sins, by asking Him to forgive and cleanse you. 1 John 1:8-9, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Then you start a new life in Jesus in accordance with His Word as written in the Bible. He will then give you Holy spirit to guide, comfort you and teach you all things. The Blood Of Jesus Paid All! The Blood Of Jesus Christ paid for your sins even before you were born, that is the blood that can atone for your sins and washes your sins away at the same time. On the other side, if you are a Christian, Christian leader or minister of gospel, but you are living in sin or under the bondage of one sin or the other, you are also a religious person before God. Calling yourself a Christian, calling Jesus, "Lord, Lord", being a minister of gospel or performing miracles in the name of Jesus Christ does not means you have personal relationship with Jesus except you are doing His will by living in holiness and righteousness. All you need: Repent – realize and ready to forsake every form of sin and unrighteousness in your life; surrender your sinful life to God and ask Him to forgive and cleanse you. Pray – Right now you need to pray to God from your heart in the name of Jesus Christ, confess all your sins and surrender all. Tell Jesus Christ to forgive you, cleanse you and save you. Tell Him you are accepting Him as your Lord and He should save you. You can pray the prayer for the next few minute now, as Jesus is right beside you. 1 John 1:9. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” PRAY THE PRAYER OF SALVATION OR REDEDICATION NOW! Have you prayed that? Then you are saved and restored! After you have prayed and experienced salvation, then you follow JESUS day by day! Mark 8:34, "When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."

ARE YOU MARRIED TO YOUR CELLPHONE? Technology is evolving so quickly that many of us are barely aware of how our behavior is changing and how our most important relationships are threatened. You’re driving down a city street and find yourself stuck behind someone going 15 mph below the speed limit. What’s your first thought? That guy needs to get off his cell phone! You’re sitting in the stands at a high school football game. You notice that many of the students are not only ignoring the game but they’re also ignoring the friends seated beside them—instead they are busy texting other friends. You walk through an airport concourse and notice a man pacing back and forth, waving his hands while he talks on his cell phone in a voice that bounces off the walls 30 yards away. You think, That’s why I hope they never allow people to make calls with their cell phones on a flight. Sound familiar? In the last 15 years the cell phone has conquered the world. I could make a list of 50 ways these phones have improved our lives. But if you’re like me and can remember what life was like before we all got cell phones, you may wonder if all the changes are really for the good. Remember those days when you could go to a movie—or to church—and not worry about being distracted by ringing phones or by the white glow of someone texting a friend? Remember when meetings at work weren’t interrupted by phone calls that people just had to accept? And here’s one more scene we all see regularly: You walk into a restaurant and you notice a couple seated near you. And you notice that they really are not enjoying this opportunity to be together, because one is patiently waiting for the other to stop talking or texting on the cell phone. And you think, How sad that they aren’t talking to each other. Plugged in 24/7 Adjusting to a new technology is nothing new. Electricity, automobiles, telephones, radio, television, computers, and many other new inventions sparked significant changes in our culture and in the way we related to our spouses, our children, and our friends. But the pace of change since 1995 has been breathtaking. We’ve seen the emergence of the internet and of mobile phones, and then the convergence of the two. We can now be plugged in wherever we are, 24/7. The technology is evolving so quickly that most of us are barely aware of how our behavior is changing and our relationships are affected. As one reader wrote after I addressed this issue a couple months ago in a series of Marriage Memo e-mails, “These mobile devices can take over your life.” Another said, “I understand technology has its advantages, but we are being ruled by the technology rather than using it as a tool.” A number of readers were dismayed at how addiction to the new technology was affecting their marriages. For example: “I'm usually the spouse waiting for my husband to get off the cell, iPad, instagram, text messaging, Facebook, or some other game that has him hooked. I'm tired of having my conversations through text messages and would enjoy an old-fashioned conversation face-to-face. But the truth is we barely have anything to say to each other anymore.” “My husband and I have struggled for the last 25 years of our marriage with conversation, but what has happened now is Facebook has taken over. If dinner isn't ready when he comes home, he's on Facebook until it is. Every morning he gets up and hits Facebook to see who's been on. Sadly he does not see it as an issue. And I fear I am not alone in this.” “I am one of those people at the restaurant with her spouse, waiting and feeling lonely. My husband is always looking at his phone, checking his email or his bank account, his Facebook, and his texts. I just sit waiting and thinking to myself, ‘Why am I not good enough for him? Why does he have to be entertained by everyone and everything else?’ It deeply depresses me and he just cannot understand my point of view.” Replacing conversation with connectivity Some people gravitate toward texting or Twitter for communication just as they did years ago toward email—it’s simpler, faster, easier. What they don’t realize is how much is lost in those mediums—emotion, facial expressions, tone of voice, and much more. It can be dangerous to replace conversation with connectivity. One woman wrote about problems in her marriage: “… many arguments occur because of something that was texted and was misunderstood by one of us. Today my husband texted me after refusing to have a conversation last night. I thought the tone of his text was ugly and didn't respond. Later he texted me asking why I didn't respond and I said I would rather talk than text because texting can be misunderstood. His response was ‘I enjoy texting. Speak message. Little emotion. Can get right to point.’” What a classic quote, and so typically male: “I enjoy texting. Speak message. Little emotion. Can get right to point.” The problem is that real relationships require real conversation and real emotion. “When we text, email, Facebook, and the like, we lose a vital piece of relationships: the emotional connection,” wrote another reader. “Without the sound of our voices, the body language, the touch, we as humans lose what God intended to be a vital part of how we are supposed to relate and a vital part of how we are supposed to receive love and be in communion with others.” Household rules It’s not that the technology is inherently bad. Far from it—it helps us connect with people in many positive ways. The problem is that so many people are unable to control it. It’s as if they are married to their cell phones. I received some great tips from readers about the boundaries they were implementing to promote face-to-face communication in their marriages. Here are some highlights: 1. No devices at the dinner table. This was mentioned many times in emails. Dinner time should be reserved for face-to-face conversation. There will be plenty of time after dinner to reply to phone calls and text messages. One family calls this rule “TTT—Timeout from Technology at the Table.” 2. No phones at the restaurant. “My husband and I have made a deal for date nights,” wrote one wife. “He is way too plugged in to TV and his phone. Therefore when we are out at restaurants we are not allowed to use our phones unless it is a call from the babysitter. Also we do not go to restaurants that have televisions because he will be too distracted, and I will be mad that he is not totally engaged. We all need to find time daily to disconnect from all the information and reconnect with our families with good ‘old-fashioned’ conversation.” Another reader said she and her husband leave their cell phones in the car before they enter a restaurant. 3. No texting or talking about really important personal issues over the phone. This should be done face-to-face, unless it is something that can't wait. One reader said, “There is a huge gap in a 'conversation' when texting because you don't really fully understand what that person really means unless you hear the tone in their voice or see their face and a lot can be taken the wrong way, creating bad feelings, etc.” Love the one you’re with All these boundaries establish a strong family value: When you’re with someone, that relationship is your priority. Retraining will take some time if you, your spouse, or your children have become addicted to your devices. But keeping them in their rightful place will, in the words of one reader, “open up the door to more intimate communication with your spouse and family.” I also liked the comment from a reader who pointed out, “Anything that becomes a necessity has the ability to become an idol.” In other words, you can become so attached to your smartphone that it basically becomes the most important thing in your life: “If you can’t live without a gadget … throw it away. If a gadget is absorbing most of your leisure time … throw it away! “Life is too short. Let’s not invest what little time we have in meaningless endeavors.” This article is from FamilyLife Inc, USA, and posted on facebook by RTEM, Nigeria.

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!

WHY MANY CHRISTIANS OFTEN RISE AND FALL (A Must Read). A child of God falling back into sinful habits or lukewarmness is as a result of two major things: Careless and prayerlessness. If a child of God goes back into a particular old sinful nature or become lukewarm and cold again, it is not because he was not saved at the first instance, it is not because he has not been delivered from those sinful habits after he dedicated his life to Jesus, and it is not because Christian life is meant to be a rising and falling thing; It is due to one’s carelessness and prayerlessness. CARELESSNESS 1Corinthians 10:12, “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall” When you are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ or when you rededicate your life to Jesus to start better, He sets you free from sinful habits and gives you His grace and Spirit, but you need to take heed – that is being watchful, so that you don’t fall back into sin and become lukewarm later. Carelessness comes into Christian life through different means: (i) Overconfidence: You become overconfident when you, knowing by the Word of God and by the warning of the Holy Spirit that something may lead to sin, but too confident in yourself that you will, "take care of the situation" and that it will not lead you to sin. It is a subtle deception of Satan, and against the Word of God which warns us to always take heed. Staying or moving close to the spot of sin, and being confident that you will not fall into sin is overconfidence of carelessness. Overconfidence has no backing of God's grace; it simply means you are on your own, because it is against God's warning and word. Many have fallen because of self confidence of "Nothing will happen, I am not a baby Christian." And when something happen it become hard to say something. (ii) Little Foxes: other forms of carelessness are little foxes. “Take us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.” Song of Solomon 2:15. This is a common carelessness that we all need to daily watch against. They are casual habits but cause lots of destructions, they are simple but they sink several Christian fervent faith. Little foxes in Christian life are Inconsistent Bible reading, over-talking, unbecoming jesting and exaggeration in expression, getting involve in worldly stuffs like worldly dress, makeup, worldly friendship, watching worldly movies, listening to worldly music which cannot edify your soul, reading romantic novels, browsing pornographic websites, looking at nude pictures, thinking or talking about immoral stuffs, using worldly materials, watching worldly TV shows like American Idol, African Idol, Big brother Africa, unwholesome TV Reality shows, dance competition, wrestling, etc. These habits slowly drain spiritual strength, hinder spiritual growth and the flow of the fire of Holy Spirit in one’s life, and then make a Christian spiritually week to resist temptation. Little foxes are hard to trace to one’s spiritual downfall, because they don’t cause the damage immediately, but one thing you can discover is that when you get involve in any of those habits, you feel spiritually light and empty. PRAYERLESSNESS 1 Thessalonians 5:17, “Pray without ceasing.” A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian, period! You cannot stay long in your new dedicated life in Christ without consistent prayer life; you cannot grow in your Christian life without a growing prayer life, and it is biblically impossible to experience and maintain fervent Christian life without a fervent prayer life. Prayer and Bible reading/study are the only sources of strength, and why prayer is very important is that it takes prayer to understand and apply the Word of God. It is in your daily prayer you ask for daily grace and strength. A prayerless Christian will be too weak to resist temptation of old sinful life. When the Spirit of God wakes you up at night to pray or moves you at any time to pray even you don’t plan to pray, if you fail to respond immediately, it will only leads to falling. Jesus prayed always and instructed us to pray always. In prayer, we take our spiritual weakness and challenges to God for grace and strength. That is the reason it is mostly important to maintain daily and consistent personal quiet time, devotion. Satan can’t attack you directly, he has to first attack and distracts you on your daily devotion; when your daily devotion becomes inconsistent, and it will not take long time before you find your back on the ground again. Ephesians 6:18, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” We must be watchful, vigilant and prayerful always! 1 Peter 5:8-11, “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. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever.

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.” If you will like to surrender your life to Jesus or to rededicate your life to Jesus, please click on this link and read http://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-can-i-be-saved/270674586372252 You can also contact us on email or phone for prayer, counsel or if you need biblical enlightenment on personal issues: This message is from Revelation of Truth Evangelical Ministries, RTEM Our Email: rtemoutreaches@yahoo.com Our Tel: (+234) (0)803 924 9751, (0)705 937 3351, (0)802 578 7942.

G R A C E ! "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not!" Romans 6:1, 2. The grace which Jesus Christ brought to us is not a license to continue in sin, the gospel of grace is not a privilege to continue confessing sin and committing sin. And so what is grace then? The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is the supernatural strength to resist Satan, to reject sinful desire from ourselves and refuse sinful demand from people. You cannot be a heavenly recognized Christian and continue in sin at the same time; you cannot have the grace of God upon your life and continue in sin at the same time, God forbid! What makes the difference between a sinner and saint is the grace of God; both sinner and saint are human beings, and both are daily exposed to sin, but grace of God empowers the saved to deny every sinful demands and to do the will of God. We receive the grace of God through genuine repentance of our sins and confession to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord. If somebody claims to be a Christian or a minister of God and continues in sin, it means he has not experienced the grace of God. So, have you received the grace of God to live above sin since you have been a Christian? Are you living daily by the grace of God to live godly life or you are living on the ground of modern and misled preachers that you have the grace to keep committing sin and confessing and continue in the same sin? The grace of God does not cover sin, but it empowers us to deny sins and serve God in holiness and righteousness. We should plead for God's grace by repentance, and we should keep praying for God's grace every day to overcome every sin. Titus 2:11, 12, " For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age."

REPENT OR REGRET? "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" Hebrews 9:27 To repent is to realize your sins and ready to forsake all of them.

WORLD CRY - IT IS TERRIBLE! Gaining the world, and crying afterward. "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26 *It is terrible to give what you need most for what you need the moment. *It is terrible to burn in eternal flames of fire because of earthly fame. *It is terrible to enjoy temporal sinful pleasure and endure permanent satanic plagues. *It is terrible to delay your salvation now and destroy your soul at the end. *It is terrible to keep trying and struggling with your soul while you simply need to surrender and trust the Savior. *It is terrible to refuse JESUS on earth and be rejected in heaven. Hebrews 12:17, " For you know that afterward, when he (Esau) wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears."

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!

IS MouthAction OKAY IN CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE? If we should ask this in a better or clearer way, the question will be, "Is it okay for Christians to have MouthAction in marriage?" Since sex is meant to be done or experienced in marriage, that is after legal marriage. We do hear that married couple can do anything with each other after marriage, as long it's within their matrimonial home, so is MouthAction okay for us as children of God? The answer is sex is fine and blessed in marriage but the oral of it is wrong and evil. Why? Because sex is meant for sexual activity by sex organs, and oral is meant for oral activities by oral organs; when you now exchange it, using oral organs for sexual activity and using sexual organs for oral, it means you are directly working against the natural order and creation of God. MouthAction is evil passion of working against the order of God, it's a deliberate turning the cause of nature upside down. Such habit exposes lives and marriages to demons, delusive pleasure and destruction at the end. MouthAction was originated by Satan for people to dishonor the cause of God and to dishonor their bodies."Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves" Romans 1:24. MouthAction is of same category of sin with homosexuality, that is the gays and lesbians. In reality, MouthAction and homosexual are the same before God, who work against the natural cause. "who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men." Romans 1:25-27 If you have been involving in MouthAction, you urgently need to repent and ask the Lord to forgive and purge you with His precious blood. 1 John 1:9-10, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." 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.

MICHAEL JACKSON IS IN HELL & A MESSAGE FOR YOU Our Lord Jesus Christ showed a vision to one of His children to see so many people who died and went to hell, one of the multitude is the popular Michael Jackson (MJ) This man had satanic covenants: He came to agreement with the devil in order to achieve fame and attract many fans. Those steps that he performed, that's the way I saw demons walk while tormenting people in hell. They would slide backward and not move forward, while they shout; enjoying the anguish they impose upon the people. Let me tell you that Michael Jackson is in hell. The Lord showed him to me after Michael died. He let me see Michael Jackson tormented in flames"He let me see Michael Jackson tormented in flames. I cried to Jesus, "Why?" It wasn't easy to see how this man was being tormented and how he would scream. Anyone who listens to Michael Jackson's songs or sings them or who is a fan of Michael Jackson, I warn you that Satan is trapping you in his web so that you will end up in hell. Right now, renounce it in the name of Jesus! Jesus wants to set you free, so that you will not be lost." Here is a message from another American singer-songwriter, SELENA "Please, I beg you, go tell people about this, please speak out and do not be silent; go and tell them not to come to this place; go and tell them not to listen to my songs, nor sing my songs." She said, "Because every time people sing and listen to my songs, I am tormented even more, the person who does this, who sings and listens to my songs, is walking to this place. Please, go tell them not to come here; go tell them that hell is real!"- Angelica Zambrano Because of the love of fortune, fame and fan, MJ, SELENA and many others are in flames of fire now as you are reading this. So why do you also want to go to hell? Because of prosperity, possessions, positions, popularity, properties, power, people or pride? Are these making you to delay your salvation? Do you still want to go to hell after your salvation just because of little compromise, undone restitution, unforgiving spirit, secret sin, malice envy, little anger, jealousy or bitterness? Are you set to end up in hell just because of worldly music, movies, magazines, materials, makeup or worldly dress? You don't care what anybody says now, just doing your things your own way and you allow devil to block your ears till you land in hell? Unlike MJ, thank God you are still alive to surrender your life to Jesus, to rededicate your life to Jesus. DO IT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. Repent, confess to Jesus, surrender and start a new life in Jesus! 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.

LYING TO GOD “Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouth, And they lied to Him with their tongue” Psalm 78:36 Is it possible to lie to God? God is omniscience, He knows everything at every time and at everywhere. Does is not sound stupid for a mortal man to lie to the omnipotent and omniscience God? But we do lie to God many times and that is irritatingly dangerous. People continue to lie to God everyday and it has become part of Christian lifestyle, and we are no longer afraid about it. Lying to God is telling God He is who He is not in our lives, telling Him that He is something which we do not allow Him to be in our lives. When you say, “Jesus Christ, you are my Lord” but you are actually the lord of your life, you are ruling your own life, and you don’t allow Him to rule your life, because you do not live your life to please Him, then you are lying to Him. How can you tell Jesus that He is your Lord and you allow your own “self” to control and dominate your life? So where is the lordship of Jesus? When you say Jesus is your Savior, and you persist in sin, then from what has He saved you to become your Savior? You are lying to Him. That was the reason Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 7:21. When you go to Jesus and say to Him, “You are my Lord, my Savior” but you are not living your life to please Him, and you are not doing His will, you are not obeying His commands; it simply means you are lying to Him. The Psalmist said, “And they lied to Him with their tongue” Psalm 78:36. What is the essence of telling God what He is not in your life? Do you think He doesn't see? Lying to God is adding sin to sins, it is better not to say anything than to lie to God. During praise and worship, when you say unto God, “God, you are my Great Provider!” But you are getting money through sinful means of bribery, corruption, falsification and others; is it the same holy God that provides for you through such means or Satan is your provider? When you get job, promotion through immorality and changing of age, and you go ahead singing that God is your Provider, are you not lying to God? How can a Holy God provides through unholy means? It is Satan who provides through such unholy means, and so Satan is the provider for such people. If truly you believe God is your Great Provider, you will trust Him with all your heart, you will not worry or wander away into sinful means, you will stand for the truth and never compromise, like the three Hebrew men in the land of Babylon; you will stay on the purity and promise of God, no matter how long; you will not compromise God’s word on the altar of immorality, bribery, changing of age or falsifying document. If truly God is your Provider as you sing and say, you will be wiling to let any sinful offer and opportunity go, you will believe God to provide for you in His own way and in accordance to His own word, and you will admit that what God will not give you, let no man give you. If God will not give you provision in a perverted way, why will you take it and praise God as your Provider? “And they lied to Him with their tongue.” How can a man lie to God Almighty? It’s senseless and self-destructive. There is no lie as dangerous as lying to your Maker. When you say with your tongue that God is your Everything, your Supplier and your Helper, do you mean what you say? If God is your Helper and Everything as you sing, then why do you do malpractice in your exam because you want to pass? Why do you go into sexual immorality to get what you want? Why do you seek help in a sinful way and from satanic people? Why do you go to occult and spiritualists to get help? Why did you compromise with the world to get what you need? Beloved Christian, you sing that God is your Helper and Supplier, yes, you sing it and say it with your own mouth, but are they true or you are lying to God? If you believe God is your Helper, then why are you worried and disturbed? It is easier to say the saying than to be serious with the saying. How can we say what we cannot stand for? How can we say what we are not seriously sure of? How can you say God is your Everything when you are afraid of everything? How can you call God a name that He is not in your life? If God is your Protector, why are you panic about the attack of the enemies and useless dreams? If God is your Strength, why are you surrendering to the enemy of your soul? If you call God “Holy, holy, is your Name” then why are you doing unholy things? If God is worthy of your praise, then why are you involving yourself in unworthy things? If God is your Shepherd, then why are you sorting things out by your own wisdom without trusting Him? If God is really your I AM that I AM, then why are you anxious? If God is the reason for your living, then why are you a living contrary to God’s word? Sincerely, majority of praise and worship made by many Christians today are simply lies. We say what we don’t mean just to sing. But seriously, must you sing praise and worship or say something good about God which is not true in your life? Must you cause problem for your soul by lying to God? It’s a fearful thing to lie to the Almighty, All powerful God. It is better not to say anything than to lie to God. Psalm 18:26. It is destructive to lie to your Maker, because it is an act of disrespecting, disregarding God Almighty. It takes God to maintain the blessings you get by God. It takes lies to retain the blessing you get by lie, it takes bribery and corruption to maintain the blessing gotten by bribery and corruption, and it takes immorality to keep the blessing gotten by immorality. There is no need to praise God for what He does not do for you, and it is of no use to praise Him for who He is not in your life. True and acceptable praises are not only by singing and saying, but it reflects in deed and lifestyle, because the beauty of praise is not in the melodious voice or instruments played, but it is in holiness of life, and so if you praise God without holiness of life, your praises are too ugly and dirty to be accepted by Holy God. We need repentance and re-dedication to God before He can be who He is in our lives; we need to trust Him and have faith in Him all the time. Micah 6:6-8 With what shall I come before the LORD, And bow myself before the High God? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, With calves a year old? 7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, Ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

THE TEMPLE OF GOD "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" 1 Corinthians 3:16 In the Old Testament, temple of God was a physical building in Jerusalem, but in the New Testament, the physical body of every child of God is the temple of God. When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, your body becomes the temple of God, and your heart serves the throne of God. DEFILING THE TEMPLE OF GOD Many Christians and preachers claim that God is only interested in their hearts and nothing with their body, and so they can do anything with their bodies. Such teaching and notion is from the pit of hell, very deceptive and destructive; the same Christians ask God to heal their bodies when they are sick and also ask God to protect their bodies, so if God is not interested in their bodies, why will God heal their bodies from sickness? If they think their faith in God has nothing to do with their body, why will they exercise faith for the healing and protection of their body from attacks? This is nothing but self-ignorance. Jesus Christ died for our soul, spirit and body, to give freedom, not only for our soul but also our body. When you become a child of God, your body is no longer your body but God's temple, whatever you do with it is very important to God. Involving in any act that defiles God's temple attracts serious judgment of God. "If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are." 1 Corinthians 3:17. ACTS OF DEFILING GOD'S TEMPLE Here are some acts that defile God's temple, which every child of God should flee from: (1) SMOKING: Smoking is not just a wrong against one's health, but also it is a sin of defiling God's temple after salvation. After you are genuinely saved, going back to smoke is destructive to your spirit, soul and body, it defiles God's temple - your body, and it attracts God's judgment. (2) DRINKING ALCOHOL: Drinking alcohol was not allowed in the temple of God in the Old Testament, “Do not drink wine or intoxicating drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die." Leviticus 10:9; and how much more do you expect with the temple redeemed by the Blood of Jesus? The reason why drinking alcohol is a forbidden thing to a genuine child of God is because his body is the temple of God, and alcohol is not allowed in the temple of God. (3) TATTOO: Painting tattoo to the body is only meant for the gentiles, the unbelievers who owe their own bodies for their destruction, but when your body becomes the temple of God, redeemed by the precious Blood of Jesus, it becomes sinful and evil to paint tattoo on your body. "You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord." Leviticus 19:28 "I AM THE LORD OF YOUR BODY AFTER YOU SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO ME, NOT YOUR OWN ANYMORE" - JESUS CHRIST. (4) BLEACHING: Toning and bleaching skin is an act of defiling the temple of God. When you become a child of God through repentance, your body belongs to Jesus, and you dare not do anything to your body that will not glorify God. Bleaching and toning skin is evil and destructive. (5) MASTURBATION: Masturbation is an act of manipulating one's body for sexual pleasure, it is forbidden by every genuine child of God, because our body is the temple of God and we cannot manipulate it. Masturbation actually mean having sex with demon; since it is for sexual pleasure and it usually involves two people; in masturbation, the other person is invisible and that is demon. When you surrender your life to Jesus completely, you must resist and reject the demon of masturbation when he comes back to play with you. (6) MouthAction: Either in marriage or outside marriage, MouthAction is an immoral act of working against the normal cause of nature, it is turning the cause of nature upside down by using what is meant for oral for sex and what is meant for sex for oral; but since your body is the temple of God, you will not want to turn the temple of God upside down, you know God will not take that for granted? (7) FORNICATION & ADULTERY: These are the worst of all sins, because sexual immorality is the only sin that cuts across spirit, soul and body at the same time. it's a serious sin that poisons the whole system. Sexual immorality is a sacrifice that empowers the kingdom of darkness, what it means is that whenever sexual immorality is being committed, demons are readily present to empower themselves. Bodies or places where sexual immorality is being committed are filled with demons. Since your body becomes the temple of God, it is a must to keep yourself and flee from every form of sexual immorality. If you have involved in such before, you repent, ask Jesus to cleanse you and do not go back into it. DESTRUCTION FOR DEFILING GOD'S TEMPLE "If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are." 1 Corinthians 3:17. There is grave judgment of God for anyone who defiles temple of God by any act. If you have been involving in any of these acts, you have to repent and ask God to forgive you and turn to Him in a new life completely. Romans 12:1-2, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

AND WHO IS A HARLOT? If you are a Christian, 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."

LONGING WISH IN HELL (Part 2) I had not been able to sleep or eat since I was in hell the night before. Each day I re-lived hell. When I closed my eyes, all I could see was hell. My ears could not shut out the cries of the damned. Just like a television program, I re-lived all the things I had witnessed in hell over and over. Each night I was in hell, and each day I labored to find just the right words to bring this frightful thing to all the world. Jesus appeared to me again and said, "Tonight we are going into the right leg of hell, My child. Don't be frightened, for I love you and I am with you." The face of the Lord was sorrowful, and His eyes were filled with great tenderness and deep love. Though those in hell were forever lost, I knew that He still loved them and would for all eternity. "My child," He said, "God, our Father, gave each one of us a will so that we could choose whether we would serve Him or Satan. You see, God did not make hell for His people. Satan deceives many into following him, but hell was made for Satan and his angels. It is not My desire, nor that of My Father, that anyone should perish." Tears of compassion ran down Jesus' cheeks. He began to speak again, "Remember My words in the days ahead as I show you hell. I have all power in heaven and earth.' Now, at times it will seem to you that I have left you, but I have not. Also, at times we will be seen by the evil forces and lost souls, while at other times we will not be. No matter where we go, be at peace and fear not to follow Me." We went on together. I followed closely behind Him crying. For days I had been crying, and I could not shake off the very presence of hell which was ever before me. I cried mostly inside. My spirit was very sad. We arrived at the right leg of hell. Looking ahead, I saw that we were on a pathway which was dry and burned. Screams filled the dirty air, and the stench of death was everywhere. The odor was sometimes so repugnant that it made me sick to my stomach. Everywhere was darkness except for the light which emanated from Christ and the flaming pits, which dotted the landscape as far as I could see. All at once, demons of all kinds were going past us. Imps growled at us as they went by. Demon spirits of all sizes and shapes were talking to each other. Out ahead of us, a big demon was giving orders to small ones. We stopped to listen, and Jesus said, "There is also an invisible army of evil forces that we do not see here-demons such as evil spirits of sickness." "Go!" the larger demon said to the smaller imps and devils. "Do many evil things. Break up homes and destroy families. Seduce weak Christians, and mis-instruct and mislead as many as you can. You shall have your reward when you return. Remember, you must be careful of those who have genuinely accepted Jesus as their Savior. They have the power to cast you out. Go now across the earth. I have lots of others up there already and still have others to send. Remember, we are servants of the prince of darkness and of the powers of the air." At that, the evil forms began to flee up and out of hell. Doors in the top of the right leg of hell opened and shut very fast to let them out. Also, some went up and out the funnel we had come down. I will try to describe the looks of these evil beings. The one speaking was very large, about the size of a full-grown grizzly bear, brown in color, with a head like a bat and eyes that were set very far back into a hairy face. Hairy arms fell to his sides, and fangs came out of the hair on his face. Another one was small like a monkey with very long arms and with hair all over his body. His face was tiny, and he had a pointed nose. I could see no eyes on him anywhere. Still another had a large head, large ears and a long tail, while yet one more was as large as a horse and had smooth skin. The sight of these demons and evil spirits, and the terrible odor that came from them, made me sick to my stomach. Everywhere I looked were demons and devils. The biggest of these demons, I learned from the Lord, were getting their orders straight from Satan. Jesus and I walked on down the pathway until we came to another pit. Cries of pain, unforgettably sorrowful sounds, were everywhere. My Lord, what is next? I thought. We walked directly past some of the evil beings, which didn't seem to see us, and stopped at another pit of fire and brimstone. In this next pit was a large-framed man. I heard him preaching the gospel. I looked in amazement to Jesus for an answer, for He always knew my thoughts. He said, "While he was on earth, this man was a preacher of the gospel. At one time he spoke the truth and served me." I wondered what this man was doing in hell. He was about six feet tall, and his skeleton was a dirty, grayish color, like a tombstone. Parts of his clothing still hung on him. I wondered why the flames had left these torn and tattered clothes and had not burned them up. Burning flesh was hanging from him, and his skull seemed to be in flames. A terrible odor came from him. I watched the man spread his hands as if he were holding a book and begin to read Scriptures from the make-believe book. Again, I remembered what Jesus had said: "You have all your senses in hell, and they are a lot stronger here." The man read Scripture after Scripture, and I thought it was good. Jesus said to the man with great love in His voice, "Peace, be still." Immediately, the man stopped talking and turned slowly to look at Jesus. I saw the man's soul inside this skeletal form. He said to the Lord, "Lord, now I will preach the truth to all the people. Now, Lord, I'm ready to go and tell others about this place. I know that while I was on earth, I didn't believe there was a hell, nor did I believe You were coming again. It was what people wanted to hear, and I compromised the truth to the people in my church. I know I didn't like anyone who was different in race or color of skin, and I caused many to fall away from You. I made my own rules about heaven and right and wrong. I know that I led many astray, and I caused many to stumble over Your Holy Word, and I took money from the poor. But, Lord, let me out, and I will do right. I won't take money from the church anymore. I have repented already. I will love people of every race and color." Jesus said, "You not only distorted and misrepresented the Holy Word of God, but you lied about your not knowing the truth. The pleasures of life were more important to you than truth. I visited you Myself and tried to turn you around, but you would not listen. You went on your own way, and evil was your lord. You knew the truth, but you would not repent or turn back to Me. I was there all the time. I waited for you. I wanted you to repent, but you did not. And now the judgment has been set." Pity was on the face of Jesus. I knew that if the man had listened to the Savior's call, he would not be here now. O people, please listen. Jesus spoke to the backslider again, "You should have told the truth, and you would have turned many to righteousness with God's Word, which says that all unbelievers will have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone. You knew the way of the cross. You knew the way of righteousness. You knew to speak the truth. But Satan filled your heart with lies, and you went into sin. You should have repented with sincerity, not halfway. My Word is true. It does not lie. And now it is too late, too late." At that, the man shook his fist at Jesus and cursed Him. With sorrow, Jesus and I walked on to the next pit. The backslidden preacher was still cursing and angry at Jesus. As we walked past the pits of fire, the hands of the lost reached out to Jesus, and in pleading voices they called out to Him for mercy. Their bony hands and arms were gray-black from the burning-no live flesh or blood, no organs, only death and dying. Inside myself I was crying, O earth, repent. If you don't, you'll come here. Stop before it is too late. We stopped at another pit. I felt such pity for all of them and such sorrow that I was physically weak and could hardly stand. Great sobs shook me. "Jesus, I hurt so inside," I said. From the pit a woman's voice spoke to Jesus. She stood in the center of the flames, and they covered her whole body. Her bones were full of worms and dead flesh. As the flames flickered up around her, she raised her hands towards Jesus, crying, "let me out of here. I will give You my heart now, Jesus. I will tell others about Your forgiveness. I will witness for You. I beg You, please let me out!" Jesus said, "My Word is true, and it declares that all must repent and turn from their sins and ask Me to come into their lives if they are to escape this place. Through My blood there is forgiveness of sins. I am faithful and just and will forgive all those who come to Me. I will not cast them out." He turned, looked at the woman and said, "If you had listened to Me and had come to Me and repented, I would have forgiven you." The woman asked, "Lord, is there no way out of here?" Jesus spoke very softly. "Woman," He said, "you were given many opportunities to repent, but you hardened your heart and would not. And you knew My Word said that all LovePeddler mongers will have their part in the lake of fire." Jesus turned to me and said, "This woman had sinful affairs with many men, and she caused many homes to be broken apart. Yet through all this, I loved her still. I came to her not in condemnation but with salvation. I sent many of My servants to her that she might repent of her evil ways, but she would not. When she was a young woman, I called her, but she continued to do evil. She did many wrongs, yet I would have forgiven her if she had come to Me. Satan entered into her, and she grew bitter and would not forgive others. She went to church just to get men. She found them and seduced them. If she had only come to Me, her sins would all have been washed away by My blood. Part of her wanted to serve Me, but you cannot serve God and Satan at the same time. Every person must make a choice as to whom they will serve." "Lord,” I cried, “give me strength to go on” I was shaking from my head to my feet because of the horrors of hell. Jesus said to me, “Peace, be still” "Help me, Lord” I cried. “Satan doesn't want us to know the truth about hell. In all my wildest dreams, I never thought that hell would be like this. Dear Jesus, when will this end?” "My child,” Jesus replied, “only the Father knows when the end will come." Then He spoke to me again and said, "Peace, be still.” Great strength came upon me. Jesus and I walked on through the pits. I wanted to pull each person I passed from the fire and rush them to the feet of Jesus. I wept much inside. I thought to myself, I never want my children to come here. At last, Jesus turned to me and said quietly, “My child, we will go to your home now. Tomorrow night we shall return to this part of hell.” Back at my home I cried and cried. During the day I re-lived hell and the horror of all those people there. I told everyone I met during the day about hell. I told them that the pain of hell is beyond belief. Those of you who read this book, please, I beg of you, repent of your sins. Call on Jesus and ask Him to save you. Call on Him today. Do not wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow may not come. Time is quickly running out. Fall on your knees and be cleansed from your sins. Be good to each other. For Jesus' sake, be kind and forgiving to one another. If you are angry with someone, forgive him. No anger is worth going to hell for. Be forgiving as Christ forgives us of our sins. Jesus is able to keep us if we have a repentant heart and will let His blood cleanse us from all sin. Love your children, and love your neighbor as yourself. The Lord of the churches says, "Repent and be saved!" - Mary K Baxter If you would like to surrender your life to Jesus Christ or you want to rededicate your life to Jesus, all you need to do is to repent, confess your sins and forsake them as you accept Jesus Christ into your life, for more explanation on genuine salvation and rededication, please click on this link, read and pray as directed https://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-to-be-saved-and-start-a-new-life-in-jesus/270674586372252 You can also contact us if you godly counsel or you have issues, restitution to make, confession or burden in your mind and you need Biblical counseling and prayer without any church attachment: RTEM- Revelation of Truth Evangelical Ministries Our Email: rtemoutreaches@yahoo.com Our Tel: (+234) (0)803 924 9751, (0)705 937 3351, (0)802 578 7942.

LONGING WISH IN HELL YOU HAVE TO READ THIS: The clear vision of hell revealed, don't let anybody deceive you again! ......A horrible odor filled the air. Jesus said to me, "In the left leg of hell are many pits. This tunnel branches off into other parts of hell, but we will spend some time in the left leg first. These things you are about to see will always be with you. The world must know about the reality of hell. Many sinners and even some of My people do not believe that hell is real. You have been chosen by Me to reveal these truths to them. Everything I will show you about hell and all the other things I will show you are true." Jesus had shown Himself to me in the form of a bright light, brighter than the sun. The form of a man was in the center of that light. Sometimes I saw Jesus as a man, but at other times He was in the form of a spirit. He spoke again, "Child, when I speak, the Father has spoken. The Father and I are one. Remember to love above all else and to forgive one another. Come now, follow Me." As we walked, evil spirits fled from the presence of the Lord. "O God, O God," I cried. "What is next?" As I said previously, I had all my senses in hell. All those in hell have all their senses. Mine were working now in full force. Fear was on every side, and inexpressible dangers lurked everywhere. Each step I took was more horrible than the one before. There were doorways about the size of small windows, opening and shutting very fast at the top of the tunnel. Screams filled the air as many evil creatures flew by us, up and out of the gateways of hell. Soon we were at the end of the tunnel. I was trembling with fright because of the danger and fear around us. I was so thankful for the protection of Jesus. I thank God for His almighty power to protect us, even in the pits of hell. Even with that protecting shield, I kept thinking, Not my will, Father, but Yours be done. I looked at my body. For the first time I noticed that I was in a spirit form, and my form was in the shape of myself. I wondered what was next. Jesus and I stepped from the tunnel onto a path with wide swaths of land on each side of it. There were pits of fire everywhere as far as the eye could see. The pits were four feet across and three feet deep and shaped like a bowl. Jesus said, "There are many pits like this in the left leg of hell. Come, I will show you some of them." I stood beside Jesus on the path and looked into one of the pits. Brimstone was embedded in the side of the pit and glowed red like hot coals of fire. In the center of the pit was a lost soul who had died and gone to hell. Fire began at the bottom of the pit, swept upward and clothed the lost soul in flames. In a moment the fire would die down to embers, then with a rushing sound would sweep back over the tormented soul in the pit. I looked and saw that the lost soul in the pit was caged inside a skeleton form. "My Lord," I cried at the sight, "Can't you let them out?" How awful was the sight! I thought, This could be me. I said, "Lord, how sad it is to see and know that a living soul is in there." I heard a cry from the center of the first pit. I saw a soul in the form of a skeleton, crying, "Jesus, have mercy!" "O, Lord!" I said. It was the voice of a woman. I looked at her and wanted to pull her out of the fire. The sight of her broke my heart. The skeleton form of a woman with a dirty-grey mist inside was talking to Jesus. In shock, I listened to her. Decayed flesh hung by shreds from her bones, and, as it burned, it fell off into the bottom of the pit. Where her eyes had once been were now only empty sockets. She had no hair. The fire started at her feet in small flames and grew as it climbed up and over her body. The woman seemed to be constantly burning, even when the flames were only embers. From deep down inside her came cries and groans of despair, "Lord, Lord, I want out of here!" She kept reaching out to Jesus. I looked at Jesus, and there was great sorrow on His face. Jesus said to me, "My child, you are here with Me to let the world know that sin results in death, that hell is real. I looked at the woman again, and worms were crawling out of the bones of her skeleton. They were not harmed by the fire. Jesus said, "She knows and feels those worms inside." "God, have mercy!" I cried as the fire reached its peak and the horrible burning started all over again. Great cries and deep sobs shook the form of this woman-soul. She was lost. There was no way out. "Jesus, why is she here?" I said in a small voice, for I was very scared. Jesus said, "Come." The path we were on was a circuitous one, twisting in and out between these pits of fire as far as I could see. The cries of the living dead, mixed with moans and hideous screams, came to my ears from all directions. There were no quiet times in hell. The smell of dead and decaying flesh hung thickly in the air. We came to the next pit. Inside this pit, which was the same size as the other one, was another skeleton form. A man's voice cried from the pit, saying, "Lord, have mercy on me!" Only when they spoke could I tell whether the soul was a man or woman. Great wailing sobs came from this man. "I'm so sorry, Jesus. Forgive me. Take me out of here. I have been in this place of torment for years. I beg You, let me out!" Great sobs shook his skeletal frame as he begged, "Please, Jesus, let me out!" I looked at Jesus and saw that He too was crying. "Lord Jesus," the man cried out from the burning pit, "haven't I suffered enough for my sins? It has been forty years since my death." Jesus said, "It is written, The just shall live by faith!' All mockers and unbelievers shall have their part in the lake of fire. You would not believe the truth. Many times My people were sent to you to show you the way, but you would not listen to them. You laughed at them and refused the gospel. Even though I died on a cross for you, you mocked Me and would not repent of your sins. My Father gave you many opportunities to be saved. If only you had listened!" Jesus wept. "I know, Lord, I know!" the man cried. "But I repent now." "It is too late," said Jesus. "Judgment is set." The man continued, "Lord, some of my people are coming here, for they also will not repent. Please, Lord, let me go tell them that they must repent of their sins while they are still on earth. I do not want them to come here." Jesus said, "They have preachers, teachers, elders-all ministering the gospel. They will tell them. They also have the advantages of the modern communications systems and many other ways to learn of Me. I sent workers to them that they might believe and be saved. If they will not believe when they hear the gospel, neither will they be persuaded though one rises from the dead." At this, the man became very angry and began to curse. Evil, blasphemous words came from him. I looked on in horror as the flames rose up and his dead, decaying flesh began to burn and fall off. Inside this dead shell of a man, I saw his soul. It looked like a dirty-gray mist, and it filled the inside of his skeleton. I turned to Jesus and cried, "Lord, how horrible!" Jesus said, "Hell is real; the judgment is real. I love them so, My child. This is only the beginning of the frightful things I have to show you. There is much more to come. Tell the world for Me that hell is real, that men and women must repent of their sins. Come, follow Me. We must go on." In the next pit was a very small-framed woman who looked to be about eighty years old. I can't say how I knew her age, but I did. The skin was removed from her bones by the continual flame, and only the bones remained with a dirty-mist soul inside. I watched as the fire burned her. Soon there were only the bones and the worms crawling inside, which the fire could not burn. "Lord, how terrible!" I cried. "I don't know if I can go on, for this is awful beyond belief." As far as my eyes could see, souls were burning in pits of fire. "My child, this is why you are here," Jesus answered. "You must know and tell the truth about hell. Heaven is real! Hell is real! Come, we must go on." I looked back at the woman. Her cries were so sad. As I watched her, she put her bony hands together, as if in prayer. I couldn't help crying. I was in a spirit form, and I was crying. I knew that people in hell felt all these things, too. Jesus knew my thoughts. "Yes, child," He said, "they do. When people come here, they have the same feelings and thoughts as when they were on earth. They remember their families and friends and all the times they had a chance to repent but refused to do so. Memory is always with them. If only they had believed the gospel and repented before it was too late." I looked at the old woman once again, and this time I noticed that she had only one leg, and there seemed to be holes drilled in her hip bones. "What are these, Jesus?" I asked. He said, "Child, while she was on earth, she had cancer and was in much pain. Surgery was done to save her life. She lay a bitter old woman for many years. Many of My people came to pray for her and to tell her I could heal her. She said, 'God did this to me,' and she would not repent and believe the gospel. She even knew Me once, but in time she came to hate Me. She said she did not need God and did not want Me to heal her. Yet I pleaded with her, still wanting to help her, wanting to heal and to bless her. She turned her back on Me and cursed Me. She said she did not want Me. My spirit pleaded with her. Even after she had turned her back on Me, I still tried to draw her by My spirit, but she would not listen. At last she died and came here." The old woman cried out to Jesus, "Lord Jesus, please forgive me now. I'm sorry that I didn't repent while I was on earth." With great sobs she cried out to Jesus, "If only I had repented before it was too late! Lord, help me out of here. I will serve You. I will be good. Haven't I suffered enough? Why did I wait until too late? Oh, why did I wait until Your Spirit quit striving with me?" Jesus said to her, "You had chance after chance to repent and serve Me." Sadness was written all over Jesus' face as we walked away. As I watched the old woman cry, I asked, "Lord, what is next?" I could feel fear all around. Sorrow, cries of pain and an atmosphere of death were everywhere. Jesus and I walked in grief and pity to the next pit. Only by His strength could I go on. For a great distance I could still hear the old woman's cries of repentance and pleading for forgiveness. If only there was something I could do to help her, I thought. Sinner, please don't wait until God's Spirit quits striving with you. In the next pit was a woman on her knees, as if looking for something. Her skeletal form also was full of holes. Her bones were showing through, and her torn dress was on fire. Her head was bald, and there were only holes where her eyes and nose were supposed to be. A small fire was burning around her feet where she was kneeling, and she clawed the sides of the brimstone pit. The fire clung to her hands, and dead flesh kept falling off as she dug. Tremendous sobs shook her. "O Lord, O Lord," she cried, "I want out." As we watched, she finally got to the top of the pit with her feet. I thought she was going to get out when a large demon with great wings that seemed to be broken at the top and hung down his sides ran to her. His color was brownish black, and he had hair all over his large form. His eyes were set far back into his head, and he was about the size of a large grizzly bear. The demon rushed up to the woman and pushed her very hard backward into the pit and fire. I watched in horror as she fell. I felt so sorry for her. I wanted to take her into my arms and hold her, to ask God to heal her and take her out of there. Jesus knew my thoughts and said, "My child, judgment has been set. God has spoken. Even when she was a child, I called and called her to repent and to serve Me. When she was sixteen years old, I came to her and said, 'I love you. Give your life to Me, and come follow Me, for I have called you for a special purpose: I called all her life, but she would not listen. She said, 'Someday I will serve You. I have no time for You now. No time, no time, I have my life of fun. No time, no time to serve You, Jesus. Tomorrow I will.' Tomorrow never came, for she waited too long." The woman cried out to Jesus, "My soul is truly in torment. There is no way out. I know that I wanted the world instead of You, Lord. I wanted riches, fame and fortune, and I got it. I could buy anything I wanted; I was my own boss. I was the prettiest, best-dressed woman of my time. And I had riches, fame and fortune, but I found I could not take them with me in death. O Lord, hell is horrible. I have no rest day or night. I am always in pain and torment. Help me, Lord," she cried. The woman looked up at Jesus so longingly and said, "My sweet Lord, if only I had listened to you! I will regret that forever. I planned to serve You someday-when I got ready. I thought You would always be there for me. But how wrong I was! I was one of the most sought-after women of my time for my beauty. I knew God was calling me to repent. All my life He drew me with cords of love, and I thought I could use God like I used everyone else. He would always be there. Oh yes, I used God! He would try so hard to get me to serve Him, while all the time I thought I didn't need Him. Oh, how wrong I was! For Satan began to use me, and I began to serve Satan more and more. At the last I loved him more than God. I loved to sin and would not turn to God. Satan used my beauty and my money, and all my thoughts turned to how much power he would give me. Even then, God continued to draw me. But I thought, I have tomorrow or the next day. Then one day while riding in a car, my driver ran into a house, and I was killed. Lord, please let me out." As she spoke her bony hands and arms reached out to Jesus while the flames continued to burn her. Jesus said, "The judgment is set." Tears fell down His cheeks as we moved to the next pit. I was crying inside about the horrors of hell. "Dear Lord," I cried, "the torment is too real. When a soul comes here, there is no hope, no life, no love. Hell is too real." No way out, I thought. She must burn forever in these flames. "Time is running out," Jesus said. "We will come back tomorrow." Friend, if you are living in sin, please repent. If you have been born again and have turned your back on God, repent and turn back to Him now. Live good and stand for truth. Wake up before it is too late, and you can spend forever with the Lord in heaven. Jesus spoke again, "Hell has a body (like a human form) lying on her back in the center of the earth. Hell is shaped like a human body- very large and with many chambers of torment. Remember to tell the people of earth that hell is real. Millions of lost souls are here, and more are coming every day. On the Great Judgment Day, death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire; that will be the second death." - by Mary K Baxter TODAY, NOT TOMORROW! Today is the day of your genuine salvation, not tomorrow, because tomorrow may never come. Don't be deceived with modern salvation that will disappoint many at the end. do not be foolish as others who are in hell and will never have a seconds for second chance.

S I L E N C E & S U B D U E John 3:30, " He must increase, but I must decrease." After you surrendered your life to Jesus, you discovered the pressure of some old nature, or you find some old sinful notions and thoughts coming over and over. The pressure, pleasure and persistence of sin keep coming; if you eventually fall into such pressure, it means the old force has prevailed, and that is a tragic failure. The truth is that, it is satanic forces that bring the sinful pressure to our minds and members of our bodies to fall back into sin, and the solution is not to succumb but to silent the sinful imaginations and suggestions, and to subdue the sinful nature in your body; Until you start to do that, you will keeping struggling, rising and falling. And how do you do that? It is by daily prayer and Bible reading. When you become a child of God, you need to be more like Christ everyday and be less like Adam, that is the forming of Christ in us, and this continue until we see Christ at the end. The secret is that, when you pray and read your Bible, the sinful old nature and notions are being silent and subdued in you till they have no force on you, and anytime they come up again, we combat through prayer and God's Word. That is the reason Satan will not want you to have time to pray or read Bible. There is heavenly inspiration that comes into our lives whenever we pray and read Bible, and this inspiration helps to silent and subdue sin in us. Satan will want you to be busy, lazy or sleepy not to pray and read your Bible daily. Do you know that we receive inspiration of Holy Spirit when we read Bible, even when we read the chronologies of names we don't understand? A serious minded Christian must pray daily, at least 30 minutes and grow from there; and he must also read Bible daily, at least 2 chapters. But if you really want to grow faster in the Lord more than others, the secret is, do your personal devotion every morning and evening, twice a day. You must spend 1 hour to pray and read your Bible in the morning before going out, and about 45 minutes to 1 hour in the evening to meditate on God's word and pray before sleeping. By doing this daily, you will grow stronger in the Lord, and the old nature will be disarmed and grow weaker that it will not have force over your thought and deed again. It is not possible to grow and remain in th Lord without consistent prayer life and Bible reading. When you pray, you pray mostly about your spiritual life, confess your weaknesses to God, ask for grace and strength to refuse, resist and be fruitful in the Spirit. Spending most of your prayer time to pray on physical, financial or material problems will never help your Christian life. Your prayer should center on your spiritual welfare, and physical or financial issues should be last. When you want to read Bible, pray before reading, for the Holy Spirit to give you understanding, then meditate what you read and apply it into your life. But you need to experience genuine salvation before you can stand and grow in the Lord. If you have been rising and falling in your Christian life, I will advise you rededicate your life to Jesus afresh through repentance and confession, then you can grow thereby. 1 Peter 2:1-3 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER RAPTURE: THE GREAT TRIBULATION Do you realize we are in the very end time and this world will soon come to an end? As the Biblical prophesies of the end time are fulfilling right in our eyes and the love of many are becoming cold by the cares and deceptions of the world; the next event we are waiting for is the Rapture, which is the catching away of the saints. As Jesus Christ said, “I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” Luke 17:34, 35. This event may happen any moment from now. The big questions are: What happens after the Rapture? What will happen to the unbelievers and careless Christians who miss the Rapture? The Great Tribulation! While the raptured saints will be celebrating the Marriage of the Lord’s Supper with Jesus Christ, and receive rewards over there, the Left-behinds will be suffering Great Tribulation here on earth with Satan. It will be a terrific period of pain and panic that has never existed before. “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. “Matthew 24:20-22 The Great Tribulation will start by the reign of Anti-Christ, a satanic powered personality who will rule the whole world with his evil mark of the beast, 666. “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16, 17. Those who refuse the mark will be tormented to death, it will be a horrible period which will be hard to resist, but those who make their stands for Jesus and refuse the mark will make it to heaven after their death. Rev. 7:9, 14. The people that receive the mark will automatically become the enemies of God, they will be given temporal freedom to buy and sell but they are doomed forever. The better questions to ask are: when will you surrender your life to Jesus? When will you totally rededicate your life to Jesus and settle EVERYTHING with Him? When will you make your way right with God and stand for righteousness in the midst of this unrighteous generation? The answer should be NOW, or never! If you have not genuinely accepted Jesus into your life by becoming a new creature and living above sin, if you are a worldly, careless or modern Christian, if you are afraid or not certain about your eternity, this moment is a greatest time for you to settle everything with Jesus NOW! You are the luckiest person if you are reading this message before the rapture; it means you are still alive; the deaths have no such opportunity, because after death is the judgment. You can’t wait for the Great tribulation, you may die before then, you may not survive it, now is the best and certain time to settle your eternity with God. You are a Christian? But are you living in line with God's word or in line with the words of modern pastors? Have you settled all and made everything clear before God or there are still some no-go-areas in your life? Any unconfessed sin or unsettled restitution? Any worldliness or compromise? Those Christians who leave some aspects of their live behind unsettled will be left behind on the rapture day. Your greatest privilege of being alive today is not to make more money but to make your way right with God for genuine salvation of your soul. So what are you waiting for? Repent, rededicate your life to Jesus, restore, recommit, and renew your relationship with the Savior, and be sure of your life after here before it is too late! Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand: 2 A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, The like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them, Even for many successive generations……… “Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” 13 So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful. . . Joel 2:1-2, 12, 13.

W H A T ? "For what is the hope of the hypocrite, Though he may gain much, If God takes away his life? 9 Will God hear his cry When trouble comes upon him? 10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? Will he always call on God?" Job 27:8-10 "FOR WHAT IS THE HOPE OF THE HYPOCRITE?" There is no single hope for a hypocrite, no matter how far he or she goes. A hypocrite is a person who claims, confesses to be a Christian but continues in sinful life; you may be coming to church every day, you may become leader or popular minister, but as long you continue in sin and worldly lifestyle, you are counterfeit Christian - hypocrite. "THOUGH HE MAY GAIN MUCH" Being a hypocrite does not means you can not gain much money, wealth, you can get to the top or gain materials of this world; being a hypocritical pastor does not means you cannot get many members under your ministry, but everything will perish with you when this world ends. The foolish care more about getting and gaining in this world, but the wise focus majorly on getting to heaven and gaining eternity; the foolish church preach and pray more about getting prosperity and possessions, but the wise virgin church make eternal gain their priority. GETTING MUCH FOR NOTHING! Matthew 16:26, "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" You can gain the whole business profit of this world, you can get the greatest job or contract, you can get much possessions in this world, you can gain access to the highest in this world, but what profit if you lose your dear soul in eternal damnation? How can you compare 100 years on earth with unending years of eternity where 1 million year is just the beginning? Will you be among the popular majority who are giving what they need most for what they need for moment? In a moment, this world will pass away, in a moment rapture will take place, or death comes; and what will be your lot thereafter? AFTER THEN? ".....If God takes away his life? Will God hear his cry When trouble comes upon him?" Job 27:9,10 There is no amount of prayer of repentance one can pray after death or rapture that God will hear. If you care for your dear soul, this is the time to seek God and find Him, this is the best time to repent and pray God to forgive you and cleanse you, next minute may be too late. God will not hear prayer after death, it will be too late because "it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" Many in the trouble of hell are crying every day for mercy, but it is forever too late. Beloved, do not wait until it is too late before you repent and forsake your sin, do not wait until it is too late before you are ready for restitution. do not wait until it is too late before you are ready for holiness and righteousness; now is the time, the best and only time for you to secure your soul in eternal life with Jesus Christ.

THE SECRETS OF SIN AND SERVING GOD …….lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Corinthians 2:11 Maybe you recently surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, that you began to experience that uncommon and genuine salvation, or you have been in this glorious experience of new life in Jesus for long, we all need to understand these two important secrets, the devices of Satan to push us into sin, and to pull us back from serving God. The Devices of Pushing Into Sin The secret of sin is that behind every sin is an assigned demon, no sin without a demon, no matter how little, even a little lie. The pressure and persuasion to commit sin that seems like you can’t resist it is the influence of demonic spirit. When you determined not to do something sinful again and you found yourself right in the middle of that sin; when you made strong resolutions and decisions not to commit sin again and sooner or later you found yourself doing exactly what you detested, and after you surrendered your life to Jesus to start a new life, later you found yourself going back into those sins you have confessed; it is not ordinary, there is a force beyond human power, pressurizing you. Paul said, “For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do…..But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.” Romans 7:15, 23. Another secret is that those demons persuading you to commit the sins, if you yield and commit the sins, they are the same demons who will torment you when those sins take you to hell. I think you know that people are being tormented in hell? It is not Angels of God who torment people in hell, but the same demons working under Satan. S O L U T I O N ? Knowing the secret of a problem will amount to nothing if there is no solution. The Solution: First you need to repent from ALL sins by realizing they are wrong and ready to forsake them. Being ready is not just in words but in deed. You detach yourself from any link or trace to sins. You can’t repent for a particular sin and continue in the rest, you need to repent from all and then confess all. Ask Jesus to forgive you all sins and cleanse you, no matter how small. Then you start reading your Bible everyday, early in the morning and evening, at least two chapters a day, and praying for God’s grace and strength everyday to overcome. And when the pressure, the temptation, to commit sin comes again, when the feeling is overwhelming on you, maybe to get angry, drink, have sex, masturbate or lie, whatever it may be; you know what you are going to do? Resist the feeling. How? Just hold the feeling, don’t yield to it. The demon is around again, you must behave as if you are looking at him. The good news is that the demon can’t force you and he can’t stay long. He will not stay more than few minutes and the feeling will disappear. But during those few minutes it will be as if you will die if you don’t yield or you can’t survive resisting it. It is a lie, just recall God’s Word during those minutes. Keep praying for God’s grace and strength to overcome everyday, it is a day at a time! The Secret of Serving God 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 empty. Your heart is wondering about. It is like your prayer can’t be answered, as if you are not meant to be strong in the Lord, 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 such thought is not just ordinary; it is from the devil to discourage you from moving forward, and know who the devil is? Father of lies. SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? 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 that before you know, you will feel filled by the Spirit before you finish the prayer. The secret is that the first few minutes of prayer, praises or Bible reading 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. Did you remember when you got your first mobile phone and going through the manual? It was as if you would not get the functioning right, but now you are almost an expert, and how? 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 struggles 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, persecution 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 come to stop you from your decision and move to serve God, DON’T STOP! If you don’t stop you will be strong. 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.” If you will like to experience this ultimate blessing or regain the lost experience or have it full, please click on this link, read and pray as directed https://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-to-be-saved-and-start-a-new-life-in-jesus/270674586372252 You can also contact us on email or phone for prayer, counsel or if you need biblical enlightenment on personal issues: This message is from Revelation of Truth Evangelical Ministries, RTEM Our Email: rtemoutreaches@yahoo.com Our Tel: (+234) (0)803 924 9751, (0)705 937 3351, (0)802 578 7942.

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 offering, because in the New Testament, Jesus Christ became our Firstfruits sacrifice of offering unto God, and the 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; 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." MONETIZATION OF MODERN CHURCH Quoting firstfruits from the scripture as a means of collecting money in the church is another means of church monetization 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; 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 churches that have been perverted by modern 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 firsfruits 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 monetization in the church. One of the terrible things about modern church is the possessed spirit of mammon, everything is monetized. Calling certain amount of money for special prayer, selling anointing oil for special blessings, collecting firstfruits offerings and paying money to see a man of God are few of the monetization of the free gifts of God in the church. You will not hear such things from the founding fathers of faith, even in Nigeria. The founding fathers of faith in Nigeria 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 clubs to raise fund, are we wiser than them? Are we wiser than the great men of God whom God used to start our churches? 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. This message is from Revelation of Truth Evangelical Ministries, RTEM.

The Number One Problem in Marriage Open communication is essential to the life of a marriage relationship. By Dennis Rainey “Tap-tap . . . tap-tap-tap . . . tap-tap-tap-tap . . . tap-tap-tap . . .” Captain Red McDaniel rapped carefully on the walls of his cell in the Hanoi Hilton, practicing the special camp code prisoners used to communicate with each other. He knew he had to be very careful. His Communist captors wanted to keep all of their American “guests” isolated and vulnerable. Prisoners caught trying to communicate would be tortured, and McDaniel had already been through that. As the interminable days went by, McDaniel came to fear isolation far more than the threats of torture by his Vietcong captors. The highlight of each day was being taken to the washroom, where he managed to whisper briefly with two other Americans brought in at the same time. They told him about the camp code, an acrostic system that involved using a certain number of taps (or other signals) to spell out letters of the alphabet. McDaniel recognized the code as his lifeline, his only link with sanity. If a new prisoner couldn’t learn the code and communicate with fellow Americans within 30 days of his arrival, he would gradually start to draw inward and deteriorate. The prisoner would slowly lose the will to live. He would stop eating, and as his stomach became bloated, he would actually start to feel “fat.” Little by little, the prisoner would die alone as the strange predator, isolation, sucked his very life out of him. At first glance, the horrors of the Hanoi Hilton seem unrelated to a marriage relationship. But in a very real way, communication is essential to the life of a marriage, just as it was essential to the lives of the prisoners. If you don’t communicate, your marriage will die. Good, open communication is the top need in marriage. Nothing is as easy as talking; nothing is as difficult as communicating. Using words correctly and skillfully is an important part of communication, but even more important is that both husband and wife have a willingness to communicate in ways that result in deeper honesty and openness. The great cover-up Communicating effectively begins with discovering transparency. Transparency in marriage is described in Genesis before the fall: “The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed” (Genesis 2:25). Adam and Eve were without disguise or covering, without any mask. They were uncovered physically, and they did not cover up emotionally. Before the fall, Adam and Eve were a picture of true transparency—being real, open to each other, and unafraid of rejection. But after the fall, we read, “They knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings” (Genesis 3:7). Those famous fig leaf aprons were only part of their cover-up. Sin introduced a lot more than modesty. It also brought deceit, lying, trickery, half-truths, manipulation, misrepresentation, distortion, hatred, jealousy, control, and many other vices, all causing us to wear masks. Many people spend tremendous time and energy building facades to hide their insecurities. They are afraid that if someone finds out who they really are, they will be rejected. For many men in particular, deep and honest communication can be very threatening. Too many wives and husbands are afraid to be honest with each other. The Scriptures, however, emphasize being open and vulnerable. Paul modeled transparency when he wrote to the Corinthians, many of whom were not exactly his admirers: “For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote you with many tears; not that you should be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you” (2 Corinthians 2:4). Paul was not afraid to weep or say, “I love you.” Jesus wept over the death of Lazarus (John 11:35) and lamented His rejection by hard-hearted Jerusalem (Luke 13:34). At the same time, Scripture warns about being too open and honest. Solomon wrote, “When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise” (Proverbs 10:19). The familiar saying about words is not true: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” Words can hurt. They cut, rip, and wound. As Solomon also said, “There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing” (Proverbs 12:18). If you’re a spouse who uses words rashly, then you would do well to “hold your tongue.” Many couples would improve their relationships if both partners would use words that are gentle and full of encouragement and praise. In marriage, partners need to affirm each other often. Learning to be more open The Bible encourages deeper communication but cautions against using it recklessly. How can you tell the difference between what is appropriate and inappropriate? Deep communication takes most of us a long time to achieve. You or your spouse may have come from a family where open communication was discouraged or even punished. It may take years to reach a deep, satisfying level of transparency, but every couple needs to be headed in the right direction. Just as you do when you learn and sharpen most skills, with communication you start at easier levels and work your way toward proficiency. The fifth, or lowest, level of communication is cliché conversation, where you share nothing of substance with the other person: “Hello, how are you doing? Hot, isn’t it? Have a nice day.” Moving up the scale a notch, level-four conversation involves reporting the facts. You share what you know but little more than that. You expose nothing of yourself and are content to report what so-and-so said or what so-and-so did. At level three, you share your opinions—your ideas and judgments about things. You finally start to come out of your shell and reveal a little bit of who you are. You watch the other person carefully, and when you sense even the slightest question or rejection, you retreat. Emotional sharing—what you feel—starts at level two. Here you must be careful to avoid hurting your spouse. But many marriages are in such need of sharing feelings that the risk must be taken. If you can’t share feelings with your spouse, your marriage is on superficial ground. You won’t grow, and neither will your partner. The top level of communication is transparency—being completely open with the other person. Transparency means sharing the real you, from the heart. Level-one communication requires a deep degree of trust, commitment, and friendship. You reserve the transparency level for your spouse and perhaps a few others who are very close to you. Becoming transparent with many people can be dangerous. For example, sharing too much of who you are with someone of the opposite sex can lead to an affair. When spouses reach the transparency level, they operate with oneness. One can kindly say to the other, “I think you’re angry. Is there something bothering you?” And the other can answer, “I think you're right. Maybe what is making me so mad is what my boss said to me in that meeting yesterday” Reaching this level of meaningful communication is not easy, but the rewards far outweigh the cost. We all long deeply to be heard and understood. The most natural place for this to occur is within the safe harbor of a healthy marriage. That “safe” harbor can be created and maintained only by a couple committed to each other. At its root, love is a commitment. In marriage, it’s a covenant. First John 4:18 embodies the commitment that brings freedom: “Perfect love casts out fear.” This article is from Family Life, USA, posted here by Revelation of Truth Evangelical ministries - RTEM.

WHOSE IMAGE ARE YOU? Are you an image of God or image of animal? Does the characters, utterance and attitude that proceed from you reflects descendant of God or ape? This is not about evolution, but it is by the fruits we bear that shows whose image we carry. Many human beings are reflecting he image of ape, women dress half naked like ape, men sag like ape. "and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things." Romans 1:23. The images of animals are immorality, aggression, selfishness, violence, etc; they are also adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; those who reflect these are carrying the image of animal. Galatians 5:19,21. But the image of God is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Galatians 5:22, 23. If you have surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, it is time to face the persistent old nature of Satan and sin, "Stop following again, we are no more related!" You resist the devil, the nature and notion of animal, through prayer, studying the Word of God and watchfulness. You are no longer related with old nature, because you are a new creature in Christ Jesus. "And have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him."

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.

THE IMMINENT RAPTURE, BE WISE Are you ready for the Rapture? How often do you think about the Rapture? Or rather, are you prepared for the Rapture? Better still, do you have clear understanding of what Rapture is all about? It’s unpopular topic in churches today, and so many Christians care less about it because it’s not as sweet and motivating as prosperity, breakthrough, new things, favors, blessing and earthly success. But Rapture is a daily expectation and thought of the wise Christians while prosperity and earthly blessings are the focus for the foolish Christians. Rapture is the catching away of the saints, which will happen within seconds and any moment from now. It’s the first event of the end time advents when the angel of God will blow the trumpet, only Christians who are waiting for it, expecting it and preparing for it will make it. The simple clarification for self-examination here is that if you are thinking, waiting, preparing or expecting prosperity, miracle or anything more than Rapture, you will not make the Rapture. Only those who earnestly, eagerly wait and prepare for His appearance more than anything else will eventually make it, just like the 5 wise virgins. Matthew 25. Rapture is a glorious event of all generations; it’s going to be splendid, wonderful and rewarding for the saints more than any event in the history of the world. But then it will leave behind glooming, dooming and destructive reign of the Anti-Christ (666) for all who miss the Rapture. Jesus Christ gave us the signs which will show that Rapture is very near, that should warn the wise to be more prepared. The two major signs are already present: CARE OF THIS WORLD through false preachers & GLOBAL WARMING. Read what Jesus Christ said: CARE OF THIS WORLD, “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.” Luke 17:26, 27.“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:11, 12. The cares of this world has overcome many preachers, many churches and many Christians. It’s not just the work of the devil; it is the sign of end time. The syndrome of prosperity, breakthrough, earthly blessings, and focus on being rich, having cars, houses, big businesses, etc; the care for money, mansion, make-ups, partying, obsessing football are signs of end-time. It takes being wise to be warned. GLOBAL WARMING & CRISIS, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:6-8.The global crisis, weapon building are not just political or matters of misunderstanding, and it’s to be naive and ignorant to see the present global warming of flooding, overheating, weather irregularities, earthquakes, etc as just scientific; but it’s a global “warning” of the eminent rapture. The physical will see it global warming, the spiritual will see it “global warning”; the fool will call it scientific but the wise calls it prophetic. Are you ready and prepared for the rapture? You can become wise from here by repenting and totally rededicating your life to Jesus. Surrender all, be a different Christian of old, biblical standard in your family, your church, your place of work, your business, your school, everywhere. Let your primary purpose be to please God, your primary focus to make heaven and your primary expectation to be raptured. Even if you can’t remember when last your pastors preached about the Rapture and Second Coming of Jesus, you should remember Lot’s wife. MATTHEW 24:42-44 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
