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!

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

THE PRODUCT OF FAITH!
Few days ago I went to a shop to buy a light bulb, and before it was handed over to me, it was tested and as it was tested, it produced light. What do you think about a new light bulb that cannot produce light? It is a dead and useless bulb. The same thing is applicable with our faith. The Bible says, “Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” James 1:3.

You say you have faith in God, I say I have faith in God, and the other person claims to have a great faith in God. Then there will be a divine test of our faith, genuine faith must produce patience, but if your faith is tested and it does not produce patience, then that faith is not biblical and not genuine. The Bible says, “Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.”

There are so many non-tested faiths in this end time. There are so many hurry-hurry faith, there are so many dead faiths that cannot produce patience and the owners will be disappointed, they will not be able to obtain both earthly and heavenly promises of God. If you have faith in God but you don't have patience with God, you will get nothing from God.

Show You Faith By Patience!
Do you have faith in God? Then you will be patient with your spouse, you will not run away to divorce. Do you have faith for your marital life? Then you will patiently wait on the Lord. Do you have faith in God for financial blessing? Then you will be patient, you will not look for money by all means, you will not get money by crooked ways. Do you have faith in God for that position God has promised you? Then you will wait for God to work it out for you, you will not want to work it out yourself. You know God promised David the kingdom of Israel and for several years he patiently waited for God to work it out at His own divine time.

Yes, you have prayed about it, you have fasted about it and you have faith about it, but you must be patient about it. Those who have faith in God without patience with God will soon run out of faith, they will soon run away. Listen, after you have prayed and trusted God to make a way for you, the only way God cannot make a way for you is when you run away. How will God make a way for you when you run away? How will God turn around the marriage when you run away? How will God turn around your situation when you have turned wayward, worldly and gone your own way? When you are not patient with God?

My Beloved, if truly God has promised you the job, the position, the traveling abroad, or whatever promises of God you believe and claim, if sincerely you have faith in God for them, you will not manipulate things, you will not tell lies, you will not change figures, you will not rig election, you will not compromise God’s word. What is the essence of getting it when God is not no more involved in it?

If you get it without God, the enemies will eventually get rid of you without God helping you.

The Word of God says “Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:3,4.

Let patience have its perfect work in your life, in your relationship with God and men, in your marriage, in your business, in your ministry and every area of your life.

God bless you!

WARNING TO SINGLE BROTHERS!
I want to warn every single Christian brother in different parts of the world who is waiting on the Lord for marriage:
Do not make marital decisions because a woman attends Holiness or Bible believing church, there are more fake "Sisters" who dress holy in this generation. Because a lady does not use jewelry, makeup or wig does not make her a child of God or a virtuous woman, there are more fake ladies hiding under such appearance.

It is not a must to marry in your church and beware of any church that teaches such. You can meet your wife anywhere as God leads you, even if God leads you through social media. It is not about marrying in the church but marrying in the Lord. If you don't marry in the Lord, you will live to regret it and it is nobody's business, not even your church's.

Do not look for a woman who is financially stable, do not look for a lady who has good job or has car but let God lead you and be watchful both spiritually and physically. Only lazy men look for rich women.

Do not allow your church or your pastor or anyone to match make you with their "faithful daughter" because you may silently live to regret it.
Do not let tribe dictate to you, but the Lord Jesus. If you want to marry only in your tribe you may miss your destiny wife.

Don't let physical beauty dictate but spiritual and godly virtues. Those who married bad girl because of her straight legs, they wish to cut off the straight legs that deceived them....

IT IS REAL!
Yes, the will of God is real! God has the right woman specially made and prepared for you that will help you fulfill destiny and if you miss the right person for any reason, you may miss many things in life.

HOW TO KNOW GOD'S WILL IN MARRIAGE
1, Close your eyes in prayer
2, Open your eyes to look
3, Close your eyes again in prayer and present it to God for confirmation.
4, Open your eyes again and go on with God's confirmation.

God bless you

A THOUSAND YEARS LIKE A DAY!
You know the word of God says "But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" That is in 2 Peter 3:8.
A thousand years in heaven is like a day, because of so much glorious, glittering, gorgeous, dazzling, spectacular, magnificent, sumptuous, resplendent, opulent, luxurious, palatial, deluxe, rich, expensive, lavish, ornate, elegant, handsome, beautiful, stately, majestic, kingly, princely, regal, lovely, delightful, amazing and fantastic CELEBRATION and ENJOYMENT all day, and its environment!

Also a day in hell is like a thousand years because of so much dreadful, horrifying, horrific, horrendous, frightful, fearful, awful, terrible, shocking, appalling, hideous, grim, grisly, ghastly, harrowing, gruesome, heinous, vile, nightmarish, macabre, unspeakable, hair-raising, spine-chilling; loathsome, monstrous, abhorrent, detestable, hateful, execrable, abominable, atrocious, sickening and nauseating AGONY and SUFFERING all day long, and its environment!

So we can see that there is nothing too much we can do for heaven's sake and there is nothing too much we can forbear or forgo for the sake of escaping hell.

Your decision and lifestyle today determine your eternal destiny. Please, let's do everything possible to make heaven and escape eternal condemnation!

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?

THERE WAS NO KING IN ISRAEL
"In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes." Judges 21:25.

There was a period in the land of Israel that there was no king, so there was no coordination, no control or proper system and everyone was doing whatever seemed right to him. Since there was no king, there was no orderliness, there was no restrain and then there was no protection. The country was open to self-perversion and invasion of the enemies. No one to put them in order and no one to protect them from external attacks.

This is exactly how it is in many people lives today, living without a King, and doing whatever pleases you freely and giving enemies rooms to freely work against your life.

There is only one King anointed by God to reign in people’s lives, He is called King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ. When you do not have the King of Kings in your life to take control over your life and reign, you have two forms of freedoms: Freedom to live as you like and freedom for enemies to attack you as they life. It is because of freedom that many people do not want Jesus to reign in their lives, that they do not accept the King of kings into their lives, but they don’t understand the two sides of this freedom without Jesus:

FREEDOM TO LIVE AS YOU LIKE
The Bible says, “there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes." That is the main reason many do not want to experience genuine salvation, why many do not want to be genuinely born again, why many do not want to give their lives to Jesus, because they want to live in freedom to do what they like, to dress how to like and how they like.

When you don’t have Jesus as the King of your life, you at liberty to do what you like. You are free to commit sin. You don’t need to take permission or seek the face of God before you do anything, because you don’t have King over your life. You know why many people are free and frivolous with their lives? Why many dress as they like without constraint? You know why so many people live their lives as they like? It is because they don’t have Jesus as King ruling their lives.

You can be a Christian, going to church every day, you can be a worker or minister in your church, and yet you may not have Jesus as King over your life. When Jesus Christ is not the King over your life, you will be doing what is right in your own eyes. Or rather, when you are doing what is right in your own eyes it implies you don't have King of kings reigning in your life.

When you do what seems right to you and not to God, when you live your life based on your own principles and opinions and not according to God’s unchanging Word, when you want to marry who is right in your own eyes without submitting to God's will, when you want to do business that seems right in your own eyes, when you want to relocate to a place that seems right to you without seeking God’s face, when you are making decisions by what seem right to you, when you want to choose whatever seems right to you, it is because Jesus Christ is not the King of your life.

When Jesus Christ becomes our King, we will not be doing what is right in our eyes but what is right in His sight, we will submit to His lordship by living a total surrendered life.

Many people call themselves Christians but Jesus is not the King over their lives, they do not surrender to the rulership of Jesus, they do not accept Jesus as the King of their lives.

It is not about saying you are a Christian or you love God, it is not about calling Jesus King of your life, but it is about allowing Him to reign in your life and to dictate your life for you. When you live as you like, it means Jesus is not your King. When you live your life contrary to God’s word, it means Jesus is not the King of your life. When you do what pleases you without caring if it displeases Jesus, it simply means Jesus is not the King of your life. When you decide how you live, how you dress, how you talk, and where you go without considering the will of Jesus or His word, it means you are the king of your life. It is not about singing that Jesus is the King.

If Jesus is the king of your life, you will submit to His word and you will surrender to His will for your life. You will not take decision without seeking His face. There is nothing as dangerous as leading yourself in this valley of shadow of death life, there is a way that seems right to a man but the end is death. "There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death." Proverbs 16:25.

FREEDOM OF ENEMIES’ ATTACKS
There are many people who freely live their lives without submitting to God’s word, they are so frivolous in how they live, talk, dress and do things, they claim they are not in bondage of any kind. They can listen to any music, watch any movies, go anywhere, get involve in worldly activities without thinking twice. They claim they have freedom to live as they like. They don’t know that when you call yourself a Christian and live in freedom to please yourself, you are giving Satan and enemies of your soul freedom to attack you.

So many Christians are under the attacks of the enemies, though they go to church, they fast and pray, they pay tithes and offerings, they sow seeds and do other religious activities, yet the enemies are freely attacking them. It is because they do not have Jesus as King over their lives. You cannot continue in sins and expect Jesus to reign in your life. Jesus does not live or reign in dirty environment. That is the reason the Bible says in Romans 12:1, “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 [b]reasonable service.”

When Jesus is not reigning in your life, the enemies can attack your life as they wish because there is no King of kings to stop them. The Bible says, “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes." When Jesus is not reigning in your life, the devil can do whatever seems right to him in your life. Many lives are being ruined by the devil because Jesus is not reigning in such life.

If you don’t allow Jesus to freely reign in your life, the devil will freely ruin your life. If you freely live your life as you like, the enemies will freely launch their attacks on your life. When you refuse Jesus and His righteousness to reign in your life, how will He fight your battles for you? That is the reason many deliverances, prayer and fastings are not working, because you cannot call Him to fight for you when He is not reigning in your life, when you are disobeying His commands and disregarding His constitution, which is Bible.

When the enemies want to attach a life, they will first check if Jesus is reigning in such life or not, if such person is a child of the Kingdom of God or not, because King Jesus will not allow enemies to attack His children. The Bible says,
“As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the LORD surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
On the land allotted to the righteous,
Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.”
Psalm 125:2,3.

Will you allow Jesus to reign in your life? It is more than saying it or singing it, you must surrender your life to Him, you must forsake your sins because He cannot reign in your life with sinful lifestyle. He is a righteous King and He lives in righteous life.

For Jesus to reign in your life, you will need to stop pleasing yourself and living as you like, you will not live according to your own principles, opinions or your family’s traditions anymore, you will begin to live according to His word and will.

Are you ready to accept Jesus into your life?

Say Jesus, I want you to reign in my life.
I don’t want to continue pleasing myself and displeasing You,
I don’t want to continue living as I like,
I don’t want to enemies to continue ruining my life.
Jesus Christ the King of kings, I invite You into my life,
Forgive all my sins,
Wash me with Your Precious Blood,
Save me.
And be the King of my life from today and forever.
Amen!

WHY YOU NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN
You are an embodiment of a personality which contains your body and your soul. You have a physical body, inside of it is a soul, and between both are spirit and self: these are channels. Your spirit is like your God’s given conscience to give you the knowledge of what is good and wrong and to suggest the good for you to choose. Your self is an adamic, sinful nature which Satan uses to suggest evil, sinful thoughts and suggestions into your mind. In between bad and good suggestions is your ability, or freedom of choice as a free moral agent.

Born Bad
Everyone was conceived and born in sin right from the fall of Adam. Psalm 51:5, “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.” With this natural and sinful nature, your soul is defiled and doomed to destruction; your conscience is contaminated as your own “self” dominates. That is your real picture, in the real sense. Urgently as a matter of reality, you need Jesus Christ in your life to help you with your real situation.

Born Again
Since everybody is born with a bad nature, and bred with a bad notion, there is need to be born again. John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” To be born again means to have your bad nature, life transforms to a good and godly one. That only happens through Jesus Christ. You need to accept Jesus Christ into your life before He can transforms your life. Then how? Since you were conceived in sin, born in sin, and brought up in sin, you need to admit you are a sinner. But admitting you are a sinner will not make a difference except you ask Jesus to forgive your sins and you are ready to forsake your sins and old lifestyles. So you confess them to Jesus Christ, ask Him to forgive you and also cleanses you with His precious blood that was shed on the cross. Then you ask Him to save you.

Here is the truth: Jesus Christ is the only One empowered by God to forgive sins, no matter how terrible or how long the sins have been in your life. Another good thing is that when Jesus forgives you, He will also cleanse you, they are two different things which happen simultaneously through salvation in Jesus Christ: Forgiveness in Christ is to receive not just a presidential pardon, but heavenly pardon of all your sins, all! And the cleansing by the Blood of Jesus Christ is when He removes the contamination and consequences of those sins in your soul, in your conscience and inner man.

What are you waiting for?
Then what are you waiting for? Now you need to bring your life to Jesus and surrender it unto Him for His transformation and regeneration. You don’t need to delay further. You need to give your old life, polluted life up to Jesus so He can give you a brand new life in Him. Delay can be dangerous, do it now! Admit your sins, surrender all to Jesus, ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you. Accept Him to be the Lord of your life and determine to follow and please Him for the rest of your life till you get to heaven, no turning back to sin and the sinful world.

Yes, you about to experience unspeakable peace of divine touch, unusual.

Just pray it in prayer now!

God bless you!

WHAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS?
When you come to Jesus, accept Him into your life by repenting from your sins, confessing them, forsaking them, and then surrendering your life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, what happen? There are four things that will take place in your life immediately:

(1) Total forgiveness from God. Heavenly Pardon is more important for your soul than any presidential pardon on earth. God, through Jesus Christ, forgives all your sins which you ever committed, and wipe them away from His record as if you never committed any sin at all. Too good to be truth but its truth, it is called good news.

(2) Total cleansing from God. God, through the blood of Jesus, cleanses your defiled soul and redeems it by the sacrifice of Jesus. Since you were born in sin, your soul was doomed to destruction with Satan. To be free from that destruction, you or someone else needs to redeem you. The bitter truth is that no man can redeem his own soul or another person's soul; it’s too costly for any man according to Psalm 49:7, 8. But the better truth is that Jesus Christ has already made the sacrifice and fully paid the redemption for your soul. He died on the cross and rose the third day just because of you. When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, He immediately redeems your soul by cleansing and restoring your soul from the bondage and destruction of Satan. Psalm 49:15, “But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, for He shall receive me.” Wow!
He also cleanses your contaminated conscience. “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.” 1 Peter 1:18, 19.

(3) Total reconciliation with God. When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, He reconciles you back with God. The relationship that was lost from the Garden of Eden, the relationship between man and God that was cancelled in the Garden of Eden will be reconciled and restored between you and God. And now you will have free access to God without any veil or intermediary. You will not need any prophet or priest before you can communicate with God. You can access His throne of grace any time for anything!
(4) Total Assurance of Heaven. When you surrender your total life unto God, Jesus Christ will give you a big ticket not only to see heaven, but to enter heaven and be with Him in beautiful heaven forever and ever. What a beautiful, glorious place you must not miss! John 14:2, “In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” Instead of you to be doomed in hell fire forever, you will now be decorated in heaven by angels with Jesus Christ forever.

What are you waiting for?
Then what are you waiting for? Now you need to bring your life to Jesus and surrender it unto Him for His transformation and regeneration. You don’t need to delay further. You need to give your old life, polluted life up to Jesus so He can give you a brand new life in Him. Delay can be dangerous, do it now! Admit your sins, surrender all to Jesus, ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you. Accept Him to be the Lord of your life and determine to follow and please Him for the rest of your life till you get to heaven, no turning back to sin and the sinful world.

Yes, you about to experience unspeakable peace of divine touch, unusual.

Just pray it in prayer now!

God bless you!

IS ABORTION BEST SOLUTION FOR UNWANTED PREGNANCY?
Please read this story...

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:
'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.'

So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'
She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.'
The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!'

'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.'

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!

Love says, 'I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person.' Abortion says, 'I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself.'

FROM 'THE BIBLE IS AGAINST ABORTION SITE'.
Abortion is the greatest murder on earth, because it’s killing an innocent person. No one on earth is as innocent as unborn baby. Women who commit abortion are like Judas Iscariot, men who sponsor or support abortion are worst than king Herod, medical professionals who carry out abortion are worst than Hitler’s armies, and friends or family who aid or abet abortion are equal to Ahithophel. Innocent blood only cry for God’s vengeance of destruction and eternal doom.

MERCY SAYS NO!
Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.”

If you have found yourself guilty of abortion in any form, all you need is God’s mercy, and how do you get that? You repent, confess and surrender your life to Jesus completely. You are not going to just pray for the forgiveness of abortion, but you will need to confess all your sins, totally surrender your life to Jesus completely and become a new creation in Him; it is then that ALL THINGS will become new in your life. After that you confess to necessary people.

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

If you are now a genuine child of God, living a new life of holiness and righteousness in Jesus, but you committed abortion in the past, you need not to be disturbed because God has forgiven and cleansed you. Do not allow Satan to haunt you with the sin God does not remember again; and you know what? Your aborted children are waiting for you in heaven. So if for any reason you must make heaven, you have your child waiting eagerly for you in heaven. When you get to heaven, you will meet her and know her name.

Never allow the innocent blood of unborn baby to stain your life again, because there may not be a second chance!

MINISTERIAL CALLING
Today I want to talk about ministerial calling in the work of God because there is need to clarify some things about it. I was in a church as a visitor about 6 years ago, and the pastor was making announcement of recruitment of full time ministers for interested people, he then listed the qualifications, "You must have been in the church for minimum of 5 years, you must have minimum of HND qualification, you must not have more than 3 children........"
The work of ministry today has become just for anybody interested or anyone who is physically, academically or financially qualified, which is very wrong. Only the ministry of Baal idol worshiping in the Bible that allowed just anyone interested to become a priest, "He made shrines on the high places, and made priests from every class of people, who were not of the sons of Levi." 1 Kings 12:31.

From Genesis to Revelation, there is always a definite call by God before one would be commissioned into the ministry, even in the New Testament, Jesus called everyone into salvation, called everyone to preach the gospel but called some few into full time ministerial works. The mistake of many churches today, including a Bible believing Deeper Life church I was before, is that anyone who is vast in the word of God, who can speak good English can become a pastor or full time minister, not to talk of church like RCCG where money dictates. That is the reason the church is where it is today, because the ordained are not the called and the called are not the ordained.

When it comes to full time ministry, there must be a specific calling from God with clear leading on what aspect of ministry He is calling you into and where He want you to carry out the work of the ministry, so even if you have a divine calling and you miss "how" and "where" of the ministry, you have missed all. If God called you to be an outreach Evangelist, and you start a church as a pastor, you have missed it; if God called you to be under a ministry and you start your own, you have missed it; if God called you to village mission work and you go to city, you have missed it.

And what happens when you move into ministry without divine calling or when you miss it in the ministry God called you into? Three things may happen:
1, you will not have divine backup.
2, you will not have reward in heaven.
3, the ministerial work can be physically elaborate, but no spiritual fruitfulness.

So beloved, do not go into full time or pastoral ministerial work because you don't have good job or because your pastors or church want you to, except you have a divine calling from God. And do not go outside the terrain of your ministerial calling or beyond your calling.

"And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was." Hebrews 5:4.

God bless you.

Today I want to talk about ministerial calling in the work of God because there is need to clarify some things about it. I was in a church as a visitor about 6 years ago, and the pastor was making announcement of recruitment of full time ministers for interested people, he then listed the qualifications, "You must have been in the church for minimum of 5 years, you must have minimum of HND qualification, you must not have more than 3 children........"
The work of ministry today has become just for anybody interested or anyone who is physically, academically or financially qualified, which is very wrong. Only the ministry of Baal idol worshiping in the Bible that allowed just anyone interested to become a priest, "He made shrines on the high places, and made priests from every class of people, who were not of the sons of Levi." 1 Kings 12:31.

From Genesis to Revelation, there is always a definite call by God before one would be commissioned into the ministry, even in the New Testament, Jesus called everyone into salvation, called everyone to preach the gospel but called some few into full time ministerial works. The mistake of many churches today, including a Bible believing Deeper Life church I was before, is that anyone who is vast in the word of God, who can speak good English can become a pastor or full time minister, not to talk of church like RCCG where money dictates. That is the reason the church is where it is today, because the ordained are not the called and the called are not the ordained.

When it comes to full time ministry, there must be a specific calling from God with clear leading on what aspect of ministry He is calling you into and where He want you to carry out the work of the ministry, so even if you have a divine calling and you miss "how" and "where" of the ministry, you have missed all. If God called you to be an outreach Evangelist, and you start a church as a pastor, you have missed it; if God called you to be under a ministry and you start your own, you have missed it; if God called you to village mission work and you go to city, you have missed it.

And what happens when you move into ministry without divine calling or when you miss it in the ministry God called you into? Three things may happen:
1, you will not have divine backup.
2, you will not have reward in heaven.
3, the ministerial work can be physically elaborate, but no spiritual fruitfulness.

So beloved, do not go into full time or pastoral ministerial work because you don't have good job or because your pastors or church want you to, except you have a divine calling from God. And do not go outside the terrain of your ministerial calling or beyond your calling.

"And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was." Hebrews 5:4.

God bless you.

THREE STEPS TO RECEIVE GOD’S FORGIVENESS AND MERCY
David fell into sin like every human being, like king Saul, but his attitude towards sin is what made the difference, he did not receive God’s mercy because he never committed sin but because he had the right attitude to sins, 3 steps to receive God’s forgiveness and mercy:

1. David realized his sins as sins without excuse, he said “For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight” Psalm 51:3,4. Satan can give you 101 reasons to excuse your sins, maybe because everybody is doing, because we are all humans, or because it does not matter and so on. Until you realize your sins as sins and yourself as a sinner, you can never have God’s mercy.

2. David confessed his sins.
David said, “I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.” Psalm 32:5.
You cannot commit sin in English language and confess it with speaking in tongues. You cannot sin against God and bribe God with praises and worship or sacrifices. If you want to receive forgiveness of God, if you care for God’s mercy, you must confess your sin, you must uncover your sin, you must speak up.

3. David forsook his sins.
This is the last and most important steps into God’s everlasting mercy and forgiveness. It is very good to realize your sin, it is very good to confess your sins, but it is the most important to forsake your sins after your confession, after your conversion into God’s kingdom. This is the step that seal God’s mercy.

Sacrifice of praise to God cannot cover your sins, in fact David himself said that any sacrifice in sin is useless to God.

"For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise......Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar." Psalm 51:16, 17, 19.

David received the mercies of God because he confessed and forsook his sins. Saul confessed his sin of wickedness at different times when he was pursuing David, but he did not stop pursuing David. But David confessed his sin of adultery and murder, and he never continued in the sins again. Have you read it anywhere in the Bible that David committed adultery after he had confessed to God? Never! If you hear any preacher that says David is the most sinful man in the Bible but he knew how to praise very well, such preacher is an agent of Satan.

Praise and worship does not cover sin as many preachers are saying today, thanksgiving and sacrificial giving cannot get you the mercies of God as many modern preachers are claiming today. What guarantee God's mercies are confession of sin and forsaking the sin, that is, to discontinue in the sin. Proverbs 28:13, "He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy."

You can praise God from morning till evening, that will not guarantee God’s mercy if you do not confess and forsake your sin. You can engage in thanksgiving and sacrificial giving, but if you are hiding your sins, covering up your iniquities, mercy of God is far from you. Forget about the sugarcoated words of modern gospel preachers, you will not want to gamble with your souls and get to know when it is too late.

David said, “"For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart”

God is ready to show mercy upon you today, God want to wipe away all your sins and give you a brand new life. God is ready to write your name in the Book of Life. God is ready to forgive all your sins no matter how terrible. Will you receive His mercy or reject it? Will you harden your heart again or be broken before God?

Today is the day of your salvation

KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
Knowledge of God is knowing God and having a continuous relationship with Him! It involves relationship and continuity:
1, Relationship – To have knowledge of God or to know God is to create a cordial relationship with God by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord, this happens by repenting from all your sins, confessing them and forsaking them, then starting to please God in new Life. To please God is to keep doing the will of God, and the will of God is righteousness, truth and holiness. Matthew 7:2, ““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”

There is difference between knowing God or being known of God. If you do not have genuine salvation through repentance, if you are not living in newness of life after your salvation, God does not know you. You can know many things about God and can even recite many Bible verses but God does not know you if you don’t have genuine salvation through godly sorrow and repentance.

2, Continuity – knowing God is not about the past experience, but present matter. If you have known God yesterday and pleased Him, but today you have gone back to sin, then the knowledge of yesterday is immaterial and before God now you do not know Him at all. Please read what Ezekiel 18:24, “But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.” So it is not about, “I have given my life to Christ Jesus, I have experienced salvation and gifts Holy Spirit” But are you continuously living to please God in holiness and righteousness up to date?

You can be saved in the morning and lose the salvation in the afternoon if you do not start to walk in holiness and righteousness, if you do not start to work out your salvation with trembling and godly fear, if you do not immediately depart from old sinful path, and if you do not take conscious effort to detach from sinful relationship, lifestyle, and if you do not destroy every ungodly materials, music, movies, magazines, and other stuffs in your possessions; let alone being saved some months or years back. So many Christians and ministers are claiming lost salvation and empty relationship with God. Relationship which you claim to have with God without pleasing Him in holiness and righteousness is an empty relationship.

You wonder how possible or realistic is Matthew 7:22 and 23 which says, ““Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

You may be wondering, how possible is it for someone to know Jesus to the point of using His name to cast out demons, that means the demons recognize the person as a child of God. And not only that, but to also do many wonders in Jesus name and now Jesus is saying He never knew them.

If we connect Ezekiel 18: 24 with Matthew 7:22, 23, we will get a clear understanding.

Ezekiel 18:24, “But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.”

The Bible says “When a righteous man turns away from the way of righteousness and join himself with the sinful world, there is something you need to take note here, The Bible says, “All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered” it means when a Christian turns back into sin and worldliness, all his salvation experience, his righteousness and holiness of the past, all will be wiped away from God’s record, it will not be remembered any more. It will be as if the person never come to the Lord before. Now if you read what Jesus says in Matthew 7:23, “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

With the understanding of Ezekiel 18:24, Matthew 7:23 will make meaning to you. These people were born again at a particular time, they experienced salvation, sanctification, serving God with all their heats and had baptism of Holy Spirit that they had several gifts of Holy Spirit of prophecy, of casting out demons and of performing miracles but because they fell back into lawlessness, into the common worldly system, and it-doesn’t-matter-sins, all their spiritual experiences and righteousness were wiped away from God’s record according to Ezekiel 18:24, “All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered.” So Jesus could not remember them again and he said, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

But then you may ask, “But the gifts continue the manifest in their lives and ministries!” Yes, you are right as you rightly call it GIFTS. Prophecy is a gift of God, speaking in tongue is a gift of God, casting out demons is a gifts of God, performing miracles is a gift of God. And God is not a man that always collect back what He gives someone, if God gives you gifts of Holy Spirit, and you go back into lawlessness and worldliness, He will only wipe out your name from His Book of Life and all your previous righteousness from His record Book, but He will leave the gifts with you.

So if you see the manifestations of gifts of Holy Spirit in your life or in the life of your pastor, prophet or daddy G.O, that is not an indication that you or your pastor still have a continuous relationship with God or you are still pleasing God.

“Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.” John 8:31. Continuing to abide in the Word and will of God is what makes a person a disciple of Jesus Christ indeed, and not in self-deception.

Have you really known the Lord in genuine salvation since you have been a Christian or a minister? Do you still know the Lord in continuous sanctification of life after your salvation, or you are relying on empty testimony of yesterday and continuous gifts that God has dashed you in your backsliding?

Check your life in the light of the word of God before it is too late.

ENDURING TEMPTATION
We have been told taught how to endure suffering or seriously bad situation; we know the blessings and benefits of endurance in life, but do you know that there is another form of endurance which is very important as Christians? And that is enduring temptation. The Bible says in the Book of James 1:12, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him"

You must have known how to resist temptation, run away from temptation or pray against it, but there are some temptations you cannot just run away from, that you can't just reject just once and end it, there are some temptations that we must endure till the end without falling into it.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Some temptations last for few minutes and when you reject and resist, it disappears. Some temptations last for few days or months and end there, but some last even for years and they are very close to you that you need to endure till the end without giving in or falling into it. That is where enduring temptations comes.

Enduring temptation is a major part of Christian living. If you know how to endure suffering, how to endure persecution, how to endure people’s abuse and ridicule, you must know how to endure temptations till the end without falling.

There are temptations within or without that we resist.

What is temptation? Temptation is a presentation, persuasion or pressure to commit sin. This can come within your mind or outside, around you. And how do we endure temptation? It is the same way we endure suffering, we are not moved by it, we do not succumb to it, we do not accept or fall for it no matter how long the temptation lasts.

Many Christians usually wonder why are they battling with sinful thoughts and imaginations after they have given their lives to Jesus. Why the lustful, sinful desire after you have been saved? Why the negative and even blasphemous thoughts coming into your mind uncontrollable? And you begin to wonder, does it mean you are not genuinely saved or you are not a child of God? No, it is called temptation within which you must endure without being moved by it. Though you keep praying for sanctification and purification of your mind by the Blood of Jesus, but you don’t fall for it, you don’t accept it. You will keep reject. But how long the sinful thoughts will last, only God knows and that should be your concern, your concern is that you do not agree nor accept the sinful or carnal thoughts.

For example, as a single brother, sister or those in marital relationship, the urge for premarital sex or such may come, you must put endure it and keep UNDER your body and feeling and put it under control. After you have given your life to Christ, the pressure of old sin may come, you must endure it till it fades away. You Are at the same workplace or school or residence with a sinful, ungodly person who always want to tempt you into sin, maybe to annoy or seduce you, maybe troublesome, backbiting or seductive person; in such a situation, you may not just immediately run away (except if it goes beyond normal) but you will need to endure it by the grace and strength of God.

Enduring temptation is facing temptation every day and not giving in till that temptation expires. Every temptation has an expiry date, no matter what, it will end. So the Bible admonishes us to endure till that end without giving in to its pressure, feeling, deception and destruction.

We are faced with sinful demands, suggestions, seductions and pressures every day, and that is what is called temptation – temptation is a demand or attraction to sin – and some of these temptations we can run away from, but some we can’t; some we can stop, but some we can’t; some we can reject and it will still come back tomorrow; some are short time but some are long time; some are within while some are without. That is when enduring it comes, that we are continuously faced with sinful notions within and without, sinful demands, suggestions, seductions or pressure without giving in or falling into it. Here is what the Bible says, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him” James 1:12.

HOW CAN IT BE?
How can a fray and mortal man and woman endure temptation without giving in for a day? It’s not by human power, it’s not possible by human strength, but by:

It’s By God’s Grace.
The Bible says in Titus 1:10 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.” It’s the grace of God that enables us to continuously deny, reject and refuse temptation, and helps us to live godly. That is the reason we pray and ask for God’s grace every day. The grace of yesterday is not enough for the temptation of today.

It’s By God’s Strength Into Our Inner Man.
Here is what the Bible says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13. Meaning we can endure temptations without falling for it by the grace of God. The strength here is not just to get prosperity or to succeed in life, but also to endure temptations to the end without falling into it.

It’s By Our Self-Discipline!
Apostle Paul said, “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” 1 Corinthians 9:27. We must discipline our body – our eyes on what we look at, our ears, our hands, our tongues, our feet, our feeling, our thoughts, etc. We must not allow these to rule us but we rule them by the word of God even when the pressures and feelings are high. What you look and watch on your phone, on your TV, what you read, where you go and so on must be controlled by the Word of God. Self-discipline is one of the pillars of Christian life.

It’s By Our Self-Determination!
Are you finding yourself falling into repeated sin or into one addicted sin or the other, and yet you have genuinely rededicated your life to Jesus and have determined not to go back into such sin and but still you do. It’s either your re-dedication is not genuine or your determination is not strong enough. You know what it means to rededicate your life to Jesus? It means to repent and re-confess all your sins and forsake them and determine to serve God without looking back.

Now, why do we look back into the sin again after a genuine repentance? It’s because our determination to serve God is not strong ENOUGH. You want to know how I make that conclusion? Now, let’s look at it this way: For example, you have been falling back into masturbation now and then. Now if you see about 10 Christians who have commit masturbation and drop dead immediately and you are told that anyone who by chance or by mistake masturbates will die immediately, please will you still commit the dirty masturbation? No matter the feeling and the pressure, will you? That is what the Bible says in Hebrews 12:4, “You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.” The New Life Version says, “In your fight against sin, you have not yet had to stand against sin with your blood.” That is what it means, “You have not yet resisted or fight against sin” with strong determine of life or dead, that is the reason you still fall back into that sin after several confessions and repentance.

Until you make a strong determination of life or death, you will still be falling back into that sin no matter who pray for you, how many time you confess or repent.

Acts 11:23, “When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.”

We must purpose in our hearts with all determination like Daniel not to defile ourselves with any sin again, that is the only way to serve God without looking back.

James 1:12, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him"

If we endure the present juicy-like temporal temptation, we will enjoy forever with God in heaven.

“Father we thank You for saving us through Your Son Jesus Christ. We ask You to en-grace us, empower us, enable us as we discipline ourselves and determine with all our being and heart without looking back again. In JESUS name we pray.” Amen

FLESH CALLETH UPON FLESH
Every Christian has flesh to crucify daily. Flesh in you may be silent and inactive by the word of God, but if care is not taken, flesh in another person will call the flesh in you into action, because flesh calleth upon fresh.

Bad action in a person can call upon anger in you.
Carnal attitude in a person can bring up envy, jealousy in you.
Worldly dress in a person can call upon lust in you.
Bad attitude can call upon bitterness, revenge in you.
Fight can call upon fighting in you.
Lust can call upon lust.
Shouting can call upon shouting.
Bad driving or bike riders call call upon bad language or cursing from you.
People not caring or calling can call upon same attitude in you.
Selfishness can call upon selfishness.
Temper can call upon temper.

Because flesh calls upon flesh, flesh attracts flesh in another person.
So how do we overcome? We must be watchful and prayerful not to make provision for the flesh, because flesh is always around, but we must not make provision for it. "But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts." Romans 13:14.

Putting on the Lord Jesus, reading and meditating the word of God, being watchful and praying, daily examining our lives and taking to correction. As we do this, the flesh becomes impotent and dead.

"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." Romans 8:13.
Lord, as we walk with you, help us to put flesh to dead and watch not to make provision for it in our lives, family, work, business, ministry in Jesus. Amen!

AFTER YOU ARE SAVED
After you genuinely repent, confess your sins and forgiven by Jesus Christ as you are saved from sins, after you become born again, after you have received the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ, you will need two things to do and keep doing for the rest of your Christian journey on earth for you to maintain your salvation and make heaven at last. It is a bad news that many people are saved but they lose their salvation and fall back to old bondage of sin because they lack the understanding of new life in Jesus Christ. It is possible for you to be saved in the morning and lose the salvation in the evening if you don’t take these two necessary steps after you are saved. These two steps are SEPARATION AND DEVOTION.

Many people experience genuine salvation but fall back into sin because they fail to take these two steps after they are saved. After you were saved and filled with the joy of salvation, you find yourself back into sin again, like back to zero point, and you begin to wonder why? And the same thing is applicable to falling back into addicted sins. After you are free from addicted sins for days, weeks or months and you find yourself back into it again, why? You ask yourself, but you sincerely repented and confessed your sins, why are you back again? Failure to do the right things after you are saved will lead you to fall back into sins you have rejected. Let’s look at the Word of God, Matthew 12:43-45:

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

This reveals why many people who are genuinely saved usually fall back into sin. Behind every sin is an unclean spirit, and when you genuinely repent and experience salvation, the unclean spirits will go out of your life, including the addicted sins, and your heart will be swept clean and in order, but if you do not take the right steps of total separation and devotion after you are saved, some forces of those sins will come back and you will fall back into old sins.

So if you don’t want to keep rising and falling, if you don’t want to keep falling back into the addicted sins, you need SEPARATION and DEVOTION after you genuinely repent from all your sins so that your Christian life will not remain the same again. Let’s look at them one after another:

SEPARATION
After you have experienced genuine salvation, the first step you will need to take immediately is separation, you must separate yourself from every connection to old sinful life, from things that will not help or support your new life in Jesus Christ such as sinful activities, lifestyle, worldly relationship, dressing, music, movies, magazine – you will delete or destroy them; you will immediately stop going to places that will not help you spiritually includes worldly churches. You must detach yourself from people that will not help your spiritual life, friendship or relationship. You must destroy every sinful, worldly or cultic material in your possession including all the worldly dresses, clothing, jewelries – you don’t keep them or give to people, but you get rid of them completely and immediately.

After you experience salvation, failure to separate yourself from old sinful and worldly things and people will lead you to fall back into sins. Instead of you to move forward with Christ in new life, those things or people will pull you back into darkness and your old vomit. That is what Apostle Peter says in 2 Peter 2:22, “But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

Every Christian journey that will successfully lead to heaven must daily involve separation as a continuous exercise. Separation from worldly, sinful things and people is not only for new convert, it is not only useful for us at our early Christian level but continuously till we get to heaven because when you separate yourself from this sinful or worldly thing today, the devil will introduce another thing tomorrow. That is the reason the Bible warns us to daily search ourselves so as to continue the spiritual exercise of separation. Unfortunately many long-time Christians and Christian ministers are majestically marching straight into eternity without realizing that the devil has implanted some ungodliness, uncleanness or worldliness into their lives, because they fail to exercise daily spiritual checking for separation.







DEVOTION
Salvation in Christ is the beginning of new life as the foundation of our faith, separation is your commitment to settle your new life and devotion is your consecration to God to seal your new life in Christ Jesus. Devotion unto God involves three things:

(i) Daily prayer. To maintain a victorious Christian life, you need a fervent prayer life, praying for God’s sanctification, strength and grace every day; praying for the spiritual understanding and knowledge of God to help you avoid errors. A heavenly minded Christian must spend much of his prayer time to pray on his spiritual life than earthly stuffs like blessings, provision, and attack against enemies. You must pray morning and evening about your new life in Jesus, let your spiritual life be your priority in your daily prayer, and every other good thing will follow. Prayer strengthens us to resist the temptation of sin. Matthew 26:41. “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

(ii) Daily Bible Reading. It is a must for you to spend good time daily to read and meditate the Word of God. Don’t just read, but prayerfully read and meditate, meditating and thinking over the Bible passages as you read until you understand and take note. The Word of God helps us not to fall back into sin.
Psalm 119:9-11,
“How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
10 With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
11 Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.

The more you read and meditate the Word of God, the more you are being purified and renewed in the Lord.

(iii) WATCHFULNESS. Watchfulness is simply to work out your professed salvation with trembling and godly fear. It means to carefully apply the Word of God you read and the grace of God you receive through prayer into your daily living. That is when we become fruitful in the Lord. So that the grace we receive in prayer and the strength we receive in the Word of God will not be in vain, we must be watchful how we live our lives, how we talk, how we behave, how we response to people’s provocation, how we abstain from appearance of sin, how we dress, cloth we wear, the motive behind our dressing, the motive behind our desire for money, all these must be controlled by the Word of God – this is what watchfulness is all about.

After your salvation in Christ Jesus, total Separation from worldly and sinful things and people and complete Devotion unto God through daily prayer, Bible reading and watchfulness are the ways forward in our Christian life. These are the steps we must daily and carefully take in our journey to heaven.

“For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:8-11.

God bless you as we continue in this glorious journey to heaven. Forward ever, and backward never in Jesus name.

PEACE DEAL
When you get to a junction whereby for you to peacefully live or relate with some people, you will have to compromise your faith, then you better let go of such peace. In your family, when your parents say you must deny Jesus or your standard of holiness if you want to peacefully live with them, then you must let go of peace and choose the right part of holiness. When your husband says, “If you want to peacefully live with me in this house, you must……. Do something against the word of God” then you must not settle for such temporal peace. When your wife says, “Oh, if you want peace to reign in this house, you better do this or that – what is against the path of righteousness” then you forget about such fake peace.

In your place of work or anywhere you are, when people are giving you condition of peace that will make you compromise life of holiness, then you need to let peace go and stand for holiness and righteousness. What is the essence of being at peace with human being and then at war with Almighty God? Because when you compromise the word of God, the standard of holiness just because you want to be at peace with your parents, your spouse, your boss at work, your co-workers, your fellow students, you are already positioning yourself at war with God.

It’s not always possible to be at peace with all men when you want to uphold the word or will of God, that is the reason the Bible says, “If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.” Romans 12:18, so the possibility must depend on the standard of God and not wishes of men. When the Word of God clashes with the wish of men, we must let go of peace with men and let them come with their persecutions, at the end, we will have a permanent place with God in heaven.

Any peace deal that will make you compromise your faith in Christ or the standard of holiness is not a genuine peace, it will only turn your life into pieces in eternal pain and sorrow.

THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM
Genesis 22: 8, “And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.”

The Bible usually portraits Abraham as a man of faith, and more than that he was always referred to from Old Testament to New Testament as example of faith and father of faith because of His faith and obedience to God.

The greatest test of faith Abraham encountered in his life was the order from God to offer his only son Isaac as burnt offering.

The Genesis 22:1-3, “Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.”

Abraham obeyed the divine order and embarked on the journey to the designated place for the sacrifice, with Isaac and his servants. Though Isaac was a lad, but he had knowledge about the ingredients for burnt offering, since it was the usual activity of his father. He knew it took three items for burnt offering sacrifice: the lamb, wood and fire; but that very day he could only see fire and wood. So he curiously asked his father Abraham in Gen: 22: 7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

That was a straight forward question from Isaac to Abraham, and without confusion or worry, Abraham responded to the question with confidence and faith in God, “And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.” The statement of Abraham was not a diplomatic or cryptic statement; it was a clear statement of faith in God without iota of doubt or confusion. He declared God would provide for Himself; how certain! This is a confession of faith from a patriot of faith.

Abraham believed God could do all things that God could bring something from nothing, so he wasn't disturbed. Because he believed God could make miraculous provision for the burnt offering, so he told his son that God would provide. Here is the heart of the matter: Abraham believed, through his response to Isaac, that God was able to make miraculous provision of the lamb but he also trusted God to lay down his only beloved son Isaac for the sacrifice, even if God choose not to provide the lamb. That is the faith of Abraham: Believing and trusting.

When father Abraham got to the place of sacrifice, there was no any sign of divine provision of lamb for sacrifice; he built the altar for the sacrifice, no provision from God for lamb for sacrifice and he arrange the altar with wood, through all these processes no miraculous provision of animal. He did not fold his hands and seat down waiting for God to provide the lamb as he had declared to his son, but he went ahead and laid down Isaac for the burnt offering. Though he believed and confessed God could do all things but he also trusted God to lay down his Isaac. Hebrew 11: 17-19 says, By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.”

So, why did Abraham laid his son on the altar for to sacrifice, after he had confessed God would provide? Abraham believed God was able to provide, but he also trusted God to give, offer his Isaac even if God chose not to provide. This action of Abraham became typical example of faith, and it was referred to several times in the Bible.
So what is faith of the Bible?

Faith is believing and trusting, believing God is able to provide, deliver, heal, do something, do all things and also moving on to trust He Him even when chooses not to intervene in the situation.

The fact that you believe God doesn't mean you will not make some sacrifices; the fact that you are a believer doesn't indicate God would not permit you to go through hard and difficult time, and because you believe God is able, all-powerful and all-mighty doesn’t implies you will not pass through moments of trials and afflictions. What really shows your faith, and belief in God is your trusting Him and being calm in difficult situation and affliction, when God does not respond as early or through the means you expect. When things turn upside down, when trials and situations emerge, and you don’t abandon the altar and run away from God, but keep the fire burning on the altar of your commitment and godliness; that is the faith of Abraham.

Faith is not a bed of roses, it’s not always "claim and cash" as the modern preachers speciously teach. Faith is fight, it is a good fight of faith. Jesus never taught faith as a means of catching money, prosperity and easy life, He never described the journey of faith as trend of luxury and platter of gold. Faith is believing in the power, provision and prosperity of God and also trusting Him to the end even if things doesn’t work as desired. Faith in God without trust in God is fake just as faith without work is dead. You believe and you trust, that is the faith of Abraham, the real practical faith of the patriots of faith.

Faith is a like coin of two sides, believing God for something and trusting God even if He does nothing. The Book of Hebrews 11:1 defined faith as such, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” You are hoping something from God and having evidence, confidence in Him still, even if He does not do it. Faith is not just believing or hoping for something from God alone, but it is also being confident in Him even if He does not do it. That is the faith of Abraham.

Abraham’s faith is an illustration of the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, of believing and trusting. Jesus believed God more than anyone could and He also trusted God to lay down His life on God’s will, because He trusted Him to raise Him up from the dead. Gethsemane was a battleground of faith for Jesus Christ on the way to the death of cross at Calvary. Jesus made a statement of perfect and real faith in Mark 14:36, “He said; ‘Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what you will”

Believing and trusting was the faith of Abraham and more than that, the faith of Our Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus confessed all things were possible for God, that is faith in God, believing the all-powerful and all-mighty God without any doubt, but it didn’t end there; He said, “not what I will but what you will’ that is trusting God even in the very troubled time, and submitting unto His will.

Jesus believed His Father was able to do all things and He also submitted and trusted Him to do the best; that is faith, which is the best, the will of God is the best. When we trust God and submit to His will even in difficult time, it shows we have the real faith of Abraham, and more importantly, the faith of Jesus Christ. Faith is not solely believing God for something, but it is also trusting Him even when the situation gets worst. Anybody can believe God but it takes real faith to trust and stay with God in trouble and affliction. Everybody can claim to have faith in God, but it takes a difficult and hard time to prove a genuine faith. Faith is total belief in God’s power and total surrender to God’s will.

Do you have the real faith? The faith that anchors in the word of God, the faith that stands in the flame of fire of trial? Do you have the faith like Abraham that stood strong at mount Moriah when he was asked to offer his only beloved son? Do you have the perfect faith of Jesus at mount of Olive in Gethsemane when He was to offer Himself as sin offering for the whole world? God didn’t allow Abraham to offer Isaac as sacrifice, but He allowed Jesus Christ to offer Himself as a sacrifice for our sins on the cross.

THE SHAME OF HELL
What is the shame of Hell? Well, friend, the shame of Hell is the fact that, if you go there, you will eventually come to grips with one unforgettable truth: YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO! Imagine that! Imagine spending ETERNITY with that on your mind! Imagine being in Hell for a million years and then thinking, "I didn't have to come here! I could have received Christ! Oh, what a fool I was! If only I had not been so stubborn! If...if...if...!" That's the shame of Hell: going there when you DON'T HAVE TO GO! People accuse God of being unfair in sending sinners to Hell.

Listen, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO! The decision is YOUR'S, not God's. God made His decision 2000 years ago when He gave His Only Begotten Son to die as a payment for your sins. If you go to Hell, you will go AGAINST God's will, because God wants you to REPENT and trust Christ to save you ( II Peter 3:9). How about it? Will you turn from your sins right now and trust Christ to save you? Remember, it's YOUR decision.

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

From the Bible verses, four things we must do to deny self and live a victorious Christian life over sin, self and satan:

1, Be sober. To be sober means to be serious, sensible, and solemn, and these three must go together in a Christian life.
(i) You must be serious in your daily prayer life and Bible reading, from there come strength and grace to be victorious.

(ii) You must be sensible, by abstaining from appearance of evil. You do not continue with people, in places or practices of old. You must be sensible and spiritually conscious to avoid people and places that will want to lead you back to sin. You must disconnect yourself from sinful activities, friendship or materials, including music, movies, pictures, dressing and others.

(iii) You must be solemn, that is to always be watchful, you are not carried away by activities and ambitions of the world that will make you compromise your faith in Christ. You are not frivolous like the people of the world.

2, Be vigilant.
To be vigilant is to keep careful watch for possible danger or difficulties. You need to know that Christian life is a spiritual battle, and this battle is not about witches and wizard who not want you to make it in life, but they are principalities and powers of sins wrestling against our soul. A vigilant Christian does not dress anyhow, does not talk anyhow, does not listen to any music or watch any movie or anything on your phone; a vigilant Christian does not just go to anywhere, you are always careful and watchful against sinful dangers. Being careful, watchful in spirit.

3, Resist him.
How do we resist the devil? We resist the devil by rejecting his sinful offers and suggestions. That was how Jesus Christ resisted the devil, He didn’t accept his offer. Resisting the devil is not only by praying and speaking on tongues, but it is by refusing and refuting his ideas in our minds and offers in our lives. And you cannot resist the devil when you remain places that belong to the devil, you must disconnect yourself. You must leave the sinful places before you can resist the devil.

4, Steadfast in faith.
Christian life is by faith and not by feeling. In spiritual warfare, we live by faith not by our emotion. When you don’t feel like praying, forget about your feeling, go ahead and pray. You don’t feel like reading your Bible? Who cares, feeling is nothing in Christian life, go ahead and read your Bible. Sometimes, you don’t feel like doing the right things, you don’t feel like forgiving people, you don’t feel like giving, preaching or evangelizing, but we are walking by faith not by feeling. Listen, Satan easily manipulates our feelings because our feelings are not consistent, it is not steadfast, but faith is consistent and we must be steadfast in faith.

When the devil brings doubts into your mind about your Christian life, about your Christian walk, and you feel so down and discourage, it is the devil who is making you to feel such, but you must be steadfast in faith. Your faith must steadfastly be on the Lord.

As we do these, we will always live a victorious Christian life, “For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.” 2 Peter 1:8,9.

Do not forget these four things, do not lack them in your Christian life. You are victorious in Jesus name!

Do you want to experience genuine salvation? Ask the Lord to come into your life. Ask Him to forgive your sins now and start a new life in Him. Do it now and God bless you.

SEPARATION
Do you wonder why you pray for salvation, you feel that you are saved and after sometimes you find yourself back into sin? Are you concerned why you keep confessing sins and committing the same sins over and over again? Do you wonder or are you troubled with falling and rising into sin and confessing and committing sin? The reason is not far fetch. It is not because you are weak or weaker than other Christians who are moving forward in their Christian race. You need to understand that nobody is a superman in the Christian race, there may only be something you lack all this while.

You might have been concerned and bothered why your case is always forwarding and back warding in your Christian life as if you are super weak. And the devil, the deceiver, might have been bringing different thoughts into your mind that you better drop this thing you call being born again, that it is humanly impossible. And when you hear or read the news of a Christian brother or sister or a pastor who is caught in sinful acts, the devil may tell you, “Don’t I tell you all these born againism is a scam? They are all fake, it is impossible to live a holy life, don’t disturb yourself, continue in your sin, only heaven who knows those who will make.” My friend, that thought and notion is from the devil to deep you in the cooler of sin for eternal damnation.

Have you been struggling with a particular sin in your Christian life that is making you to move forward and backward and this keep you at the same spot in your Christian life without spiritual progress in your Christian life. You have confessed tired, you have prayed and prayed about the sinful habit, and you even joined your prayer with fasting, but nothing changes. When you are free for few period, you get back bigger and worst. The devil will also whisper to you, “Don’t worry, don’t disturb yourself about it, it is your weakness, everybody has a weakness. Don’t even think of overcoming it, just manage it.” My beloved, such whispering is from the pit of hell. You cannot manage sin and make heaven, you must overcome it. Heaven is not meant for Christians who manage sins but Christians who overcome sins.

Some Christian members, workers and even now you are a leader, minister and this sinful nature still persist, then you may conclude it is not a sin or God will overlook it, at least you have tried your best to overcome it but it seems impossible. But you need to know that God cannot overlook sin, He never did and He will never do because He has made available the possibility to overcome sins through Jesus Christ, so He cannot overlook sin. And you must know that Bible says no unrighteous thing shall enter heaven. So, sin must be conquered in your life. That is the reason this message is coming to you at this particular time.

What you lack is what you need, what you need is what you need to listen to now. All these times you have been confessing your sins, all these while you have been praying and fasting, you have done several things, you have answered several altar calls, you have cried and cried about it. But one thing you lack, and that you have never done since. And that is what I am sharing with you now. Without this, you will keep confessing and committing sin, you will keep moving forward and backward, you will keep staying at the same spot in your Christian life.

And what is that you need? It is called SEPARATION!

Separation is something you must do after you are saved, in fact immediately you confessed your sins and ask God to forgive you, the next step you must take is not how to join a church, but the step of total separation. Total separation from your old lifestyle. You must separate yourself from what and where you were saved from.

Have you read or heard about Saul of Tarsus in the Bible? He was so deep in sinful life, so demonic and such a terrible man that he even persecuted and killed Christians. But he became one of the finest Christians in the Bible and in the history of Christianity. How come? How did he do it? Listen, if satan is telling you that you are a worst sinner and you have gone beyond redemption, it is nothing but a lie, Saul of Tarsus was one of the foulest sinners and he became the finest saint. But then he did something that turned around his Christian life and that thing is what you never did, which is separation. And as you do it now by the grace of God, your Christian life will never remain the same again and you are going to be a great Christian in the hand of a Mighty God. You are going to overcome and prevail and help others and win souls into the kingdom of God.

You know, Satan will paint serving God and walking with God in holiness as the most difficult and impossible thing. But it is one of the easiest things. Why? Because it is not by your power or your might, it is by the grace and strength of God. All we need from our side is to simply yield.

So what transformed Saul of Tarsus to Apostle Paul was Separation, and that is what you need now. Let me read it to you from the Bible. In the Book of Galatians 1: from 13, For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it. 14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, 16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood.”
Can you see what he said there, “I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood” immediately he surrendered his life to Jesus, immediately, he never confer with fresh and blood, meaning he never connected with his old sinful life again. Immediately, he separated himself from his old ambition, old religion, old friendship, old sinful partnership, old sinful business; immediately, he never looked back to the sinful pictures, music, movies, pornography, sinful, immoral relationship again. He never reconsidered or reconnect with his old sinful dressing again. And that was what helped him to go from strength to strength till the end of his Christian journey. And at the end, he said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous ,8Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7

What you need immediately you are saved is separation, that is total separation, disconnection from your old sinful life. Listen to what the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:17 & 18,
“Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty.”

Can you hear what the Bible is saying now, it says,
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,”

Immediately you come to Jesus, you must come out from among them, you know them now, where you are coming from when you meet Jesus, you don’t go back to them again. You don’t go back to the sinful lifestyle again, you don’t go back to the sinful relationship or friendship again, you come out from among them. You don’t belong to them again. And also it says, “Do not touch what is unclean.” You are now a royal priesthood, you don’t touch, you don’t watch, you don’t look, you don’t listen, you don’t wear, you don’t use, you don’t eat, you don’t drink, you don’t read, you don’t browse the unclean things again. And you don’t join them.

Also you don’t keep what belong to the devil and the sinful life you don’t keep again, you destroy them, you delete them, you disconnect yourself from them and you are determined never to go close to them, not even a touch.

Salvation without separation is a child play. Salvation without total separation from the world of sin is a joke. You must burn the bridge if you have truly come to Jesus. Why do you keep the bridge if you have decided to follow Jesus? If you don’t want to go back to your Egypt again? Why are you still keeping the sinful clothing in your wardrobe? Why are you still keeping the materials and contacts on your phone if you have truly given your life to Jesus? Why are you still keeping the magic books, the satanic items, the worldly dresses after you have said goodbye to Satan? Why?

If you have said bye-bye to the world, you must burn everything that belong to them. You are not going back. You cannot be a friend of the world and a friend of God at the same time. And you cannot come to Jesus and keep what belong to Satan in your life. You cannot come to Jesus and still keep the connection with the worldly set of people and things, you must cut off every connection or else they will cut you off from Jesus soon.

When we come to Jesus and accept Him as our Saviour, His part is to save us by forgiving all our sins and washing us with His Precious Blood. Our own part is separation, that is working out your salvation, showing evidence of your salvation by separating yourself from the sinful world. Before you were saved, you were serving sin and Satan through your flesh and blood, but immediately you are saved, you don’t confer with flesh and blood again, you don’t continue with the work of the flesh again. You are no more a slave of sin and Satan. And you show that by total separation.

So if you have been falling and rising, confessing and committing, forwarding and backwarding, if you have been struggling with a particular sinful habit in your Christian life, what are you going to do now?
1, You will rededicate your life to Jesus afresh. It is better to start afresh for refreshing moment from God. You will say Lord, I am rededicating my life to Jesus anew, save me and wash me with Your precious blood. You will pray it.
2, you will separate yourself from all connections to old lifestyle or that sinful habit. Total separation and disconnection from them, people or things. This you must do like Paul, immediately you finish the prayer of rededication.
3, you will pray daily for the grace of God and strength of Holy Spirit. Daily prayer and Bible reading is very important in your Christian growth and strength. The lesser you pray and Bible your Bible, the weaker you become and the higher possibility of sinful forces coming back.
4, you must watch! Bible says pray and watch. After you pray, you must watch. How do we watch as children of God? We are careful not to fall into the temptation of the devil, we take precaution. The temptation will still come back in an overwhelming way, but you watch, you remember the word of God, you fill your heart with the word of God, you stand by God’s grace and you don’t obey that sinful command. It may not be easy at the beginning, but it is a step at a time. Christian life is a spiritual battle, and the temptation is the daily war we must fight and win. The more you win and overcome the temptation today, the more you are stronger to overcome tomorrow. Each victory leads to another victory. So don’t fall back so you don’t start over again. Amen

SO ARE YOU READY TO REDEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS? JUST PRAY ……..

WHAT YOU GOT TO LOSE WHEN YOU MARRY WRONGLY?
Do you know that when you make a wrong decision on who to marry, when you ignore or when you can’t wait for God’s will in marriage, it does not mean you will not have children, it does not mean you will not have money, it does not even mean you will not have "happy" home, but you will not be able to fulfill God's purpose and destiny for your life.

When you marry wrongly, you may still have peaceful and prosperous marriage, but you will never be able to fulfill God's mission on earth. When the Bible says "The bone of your bone, the flesh of your flesh" it is talking about the vision of your vision, the passion of your passion, the mission of your mission, that is the likeminded person.

For everyone created in this world, there is a mission he or she is born to fulfil; there is a mandate, mission and vision from God on why He sent us to this world and that is far beyond having plenty money and children, but it is about a purpose, not your purpose, but God's purpose for sending you into this world.

Why the devil is fighting tooth and nail against people at the point of marital decisions is because the devil knows when you miss it at this point, you will not be able to fulfill God's special mandate for your life. Do you know God’s mandate, special purpose for your life is not about having plenty money, building houses, having children and traveling around the world? There is a special purpose and place in God’s kingdom you are created to fill, and fulfilling it has to do with who you marry.

Let me explain better: If God created you for missionary mandate, and you marry wrongly, your spouse may be after building mansions instead of building missionary ministry. For you to fulfill your God’s mission on earth, you need a right marital partner who has the seed, who sees the mission as important also. It may not necessarily mean that the person will have the same calling or mission, but the person is born to value and support the mission with you.

Let me give myself as an example. My mandate, mission and purpose of life is all about evangelism. I remember when I gave my life to Jesus early in life, as early as in primary 4, about 10 years old, I would gather people in my school and shared gospel with them. Now when I got married, my wife and I are running business as God is helping us and whenever God provides big money for us, the next thing is how to use it for evangelism, how to run radio ministrations. This year, as God began to increase our business, normally the first thing to think about is how to buy pieces of land and build house, as family members and friends are building houses, even people making lesser incomes, parents would be asking, “When are you building your house? There is a land somewhere you can develop” We could get a land and develop it in few months. But God said, “Leave building alone and focus on My work, go and use the money I provide for you to run daily ministrations on different radio stations, when it is the right time I would build your house for you, but the most important thing is your building in heaven” Now, I’m ministering on radio stations about 19 times a week, and some may think we have lots of money, but no, we are pouring everything we have. But do you think it would have been possible if I had married wrongly? If I did not marry the bone of my bone, there would have been bone of contention.

If you do not marry the “bone of your bone” you will always have bone of contention in fulfilling your God’s mission for your life. That is the reason so many Christians’ ministries and missions became abandoned or ineffective when they got married. They may never fulfill their mandate and mission again. And you too, if you marry wrongly, you may never fulfill your mission in the kingdom of God in life. You know why? Your mission is your passion, pleasure and purpose of living and if you marry rightly, the person would see the mission as everything, as great achievement in life to fulfill likewise, but if you marry wrongly, it may be less interested to the person or even like a trash. So if you tell him or her, “Honey, what about the mission trip to village I discussed with you?” since that is your passion, but the dearly beloved wrong spouse may say, “Please don’t go there again, we are travelling to Dubai with the kids this summer.” And you, for peace to rain will forget about the mission trip.” And when ignorant people begin to see your Dubai family pictures on social media, they will think you have a "fulfilling family", not know you are a “forgotten family” in the kingdom of God.

Listen my dear single sister and brother, your ministry and mission given you by God will suffer if you marry wrongly but never mind, you will still have many children, nice cars, good houses, plenty money in your bank accounts and travel all over the world, only that God’s mandate you possess, that passion for the kingdom of God, that music ministry which God want to take all over the world, the drama ministry, the evangelistic passion, the missionary mandate, the children ministry, the youth outreach, the pastoral anointing, and the divine pen God has given you to write many books, all will go down the drain and you will become totally useless to your generation and to the kingdom of God.

Shalom!

YOU NEED TO KNOW THESE TWO REALITIES
Genuine prosperity does not come by praying or preaching more about prosperity, you can check those prosperity pastors and their members, who focus more on prosperity, they tell lies, cheat, bribe to get contracts, they change their age and personal information to get job, they bribe and commit sexual immorality to get job, promotion, and some even join occult group to get wealth in their businesses, careers or profession. And these people still claim God’s prosperity and share testimonies.
Genuine deliverance and victory over evil forces does not come by continuous or daily prayer against enemies or by prayer of “fall down and die” or by focusing on such prayer, you can check those who are in such ministry or system, they are never delivered, they are never free from enemies, the more they pray such prayer, the more they are afraid of evil forces, some of their men cannot even go to barber shop for haircut, they are afraid lest the barber use their hair for rituals; they can pray and fast for 100 days, but they are never free, they never stop praying to be free, they never believed they are free, and they never re-direct their prayer and preaching on heavenly things.
Don’t be among the ignorant in this end time, don’t be among the foolish virgins; be wise and be warned.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE
Jesus Christ says in the Book of Matthew 19:23, “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.” This is a clear statement by Jesus Christ Himself concerning riches and if we don’t get it clear we will be misled and miss it at the end. Jesus Christ did not say the rich will not enter heaven, no, but He says it becomes hard, how hard? Jesus goes further to explain better in verse 24, “And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

This clearly mean that the more financially blessed you are, the more you need sanctification and self-discipline to make heaven at the end. During the time of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem, there was a narrow gate called eye of the needle, so narrow and short that a Carmel would have to stoop down to enter. And Jesus used the example here that it is even easier for the Carmel to enter through that eye of the needle door than for a rich man or woman to enter heaven. It means as a rich or wealthy person, if you don’t want to end up in hell like the rich man in the Bible whose gate Lazarus was staying, you must come down from your Carmel, humble yourself, get rid of any form of pride and stoop down like a child.

What it means is that the more you are financially rich, the more it becomes hard for you to make heaven if care is not taken, because the more you need extra grace, watchfulness and purity. So this clearly show that financial prosperity without sanctification is a straight ticket to hell fire.

Financial prosperity is not a sin, but not the priority of a child of God, The Bible says, good name is better than silver and gold, meaning we should not seek prosperity at the detriment of purity. Being successful financially is not a sin but it will never be a primary preaching, prayer of heavenly focused Christian or minister. It is all about priority! When we get our priority right to make first thing first, to seek the kingdom of God and its righteous living first, to pray and preach first on the kingdom of God, to live first for the kingdom of God, to work first for the kingdom of God in evangelism and good deed of sharing and supporting others with our riches, then prosperity from God in our lives will not become problem to our spiritual lives.

THE TEN VIRGINS AND THE EXTRA OIL
In the Book of Matthew chapter 25, Jesus gave a parable of the Ten virgins in which five of them were foolish and five were wise. We need to understand that all of them were virgins, meaning saved and separated for Christ. All of them had lamps which is the word of God. The Bible says in Proverbs 6:23, “For the commandment is a lamp.” And all went out to meet the bridegroom. All of them were expecting the rapture, looking forward to it but not all of them were qualified for it at end.

The difference between the wise virgins and foolish virgins is their extra oil. The Bible says, “Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.” If you are saved, but you do not save extra oil, you do not go extra mile, you will become foolish at the end of your Christian journey.

So what is the extra oil? The extra oil is something you do after you are saved, the extra mile you go which is sanctification, working out your salvation with fear and trembling. The extra is the level of your sanctification. You don’t just get salvation in Christ and settle for nothing as if you will die the next hour, no! You must go further, go extra, get extra oil of sanctification, of becoming more like Jesus every day.

Some Christians say after salvation, you just sit down and do nothing, that the righteousness of Jesus Christ covers you, that you don’t do any work of righteousness, that it is all by faith in Christ without work of righteousness. These are the foolish virgins who will be disappointed on the last day. But you will not want to be disappointed like the 5 foolish virgins. You will not want to get salvation and still go to hell because of lack of extra oil of sanctification. You will not want to go to hell from church, you will not want to do all and still miss the rapture, God forbid!

So you need to be wise now. Do the needful when you need to. When you need to do restitution, do it, don’t mind the foolish virgin Christians who say you are going too far, that you are going extra, don’t mind them. When you need to abstain from all sorts of worldly dresses, women wearing trousers, tights, doing makeup, yes Christians are also wearing and using them, in fact they are also virgins of Christ, but foolish virgins.

Do not copy the majority foolish virgins in your Christian life in this end time. The fact that they are Christians, saved, born again and serving God does not mean they will make the rapture at the end. The foolish Christian virgins are frivolous and freely miss with the world, they can tell littles lies, watch all good and bad movies, they can fight their spouses, keep secrets from their spouses; they can wear anything, they can listen to any music, they can work at anywhere including sinful companies such as Brewery producing alcoholic drinks, they are at liberty, because they are foolish Christian virgins.

When foolish Christian virgins see you going extra, taking extra oil of total separation from all worldliness, from worldly movies, music and dresses, they will tell you that you are being legalistic, that the little lies, giving bribes to Police, bribing to get contracts or changing your age to get job are normal, that using makeups, fixing wig, nails, watching secular, Hollywood, Nollywood, Bollywood, boxing, wrestling, TV reality shows, that all these do not matter.

The foolish Christian virgins do not care about sanctification within or without, no extra mile, no extra oil, no extra. What does the Bible says, in Matthew 25, from verse 6, “ “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

After the rapture, you will want to stop using the makeup and fixing, you will want to stop wearing those miniskirts and tights, but it will be too late. After the rapture, you will want to go extra mile, but it will be too late. After the rapture, you will want to do the restitution which you are refusing to do now, but it will be too late. You will want to stop telling lies, fornicating, masturbating, watching pornography or listen to worldly music, but it will be too late. My friend, after the rapture, you will want to care for the truth, but it will be too late.

The money you are pursuing now that is making you to shun righteousness, you will not be able spend the money unless you collect the mark of the beast. The house you are building now that is making you to change figures at work, to steal and lie, to collect or give bribes, you will not be able to stay inside the house unless you collect the mark of the beast. The car, your cloths and all those things you are running after now will become useless afterall. The position you are taking as “do or die” now will become useless by the rule of anti-Christ. So why will you want to be fool?

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.

Are you ready to surrender your life to Jesus?
Are you ready to rededicate your life to Jesus?
Are you ready to forsake all your sins and start a new life in Jesus?
TODAY IS THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION!

SAY LORD JESUS, I HAVE REALIZED MYSELF AS A SINNER, SAVE ME!
FORGIVE ALL MY SINS, AND GIVE ME A NEW SPIRIT IN YOU.
HAVE MERCY UPON ME AND HELP ME TO SERVE YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN.

If you have prayed this prayer, I congratulate you!

DON'T TORMENT YOUR SOUL!
"For that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds." 2 Peter 2:8.

When you become a genuine child of God through repentance of confessing and forsaking your sins, and being forgiven and cleansed through the Blood of Jesus Christ; your soul is set free and regenerated from the bondage of Satan.

After then you must be careful and watchful of the type of music you listen to, the type of movies you watch and the type of messages you listen to. You must also be watchful of the type of magazines and books you read and photos you go through.

Worldly music, movies, magazines, and modern messages from these prosperity preachers can torment your soul, and that will lead to spiritual shipwreck as it happened to Lot.

Don’t build your tent in Sodom after you are saved; destroy ungodly materials of music, movies, magazines, clothing and photos. Delete them from your phone and systems and disassociate yourself from ungodly friends and modern churches, prosperity pastors and their books.

Don’t torment your precious soul with pollution, but nourish your soul with pure Word of God and grow thereby.

………..desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby. 1 Peter 2:2

GOD'S TEST FOR HIS CHILDREN - TOT 101
Exodus 15:22, “So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.”

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

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

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

Now, there is something I need to let you know. Before God can you to the greater level in your spiritual life, ministerial life, financial life and even in your business and career, you must pass God’s test. Just the same way a student must pass tests and exams before he or she is promoted to another class in school or before graduation.

The center of the test is all about trusting God, either you would trust God or not. And another thing we need to know is that most of the difficulties we face are test of trust from God and difficulties are signal of imminent promotion in any areas of our lives.

One of the major reasons many children of God are not progressing in one aspect or the other of their lives or why they are repeatedly facing difficulties is because they are failing God’s test of trust and so God needs to keep them in the same class to keep repeating the same test, and that was the case with the children of Israel.

The first test of trust God presented to the children of Israel was at the Red Sea, but instead of them to trust God with all their hearts, having seen all the signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, no, they didn’t but they failed the test.

So God repeated the trust again at the water of Marah, “So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. 24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”

The children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, God did not lead them on express road but to the Red sea, to test their trust in Him, but they failed and complained. Then thereafter He took them to the land of Shur where was no good water to drink, they could trust God and relax but again, they failed.

How did they fail? They complained instead of trusting God. So it now means the opposite of trusting God is complaining, and it means you cannot be complaining while you trust God and you cannot trust God while you are complaining, they are two opposites.

In Exodus chapter 16, God also tested them, “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not.” Exodus 16:4. Unfortunately, they failed God’s test again at this time.

Then God came again to text them, in fact God came down on the Mount Sinai personally to text them, “And Moses said to the people, “Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin.” Exodus 20:20. Yet they failed!

So for good forty years, God tested the children of Israel and they failed all the way. “And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not." Deuteronomy 8:2

The children of Israel were repeating a single class and a single test of Trust (TOT 101), the class they were supposed to take for forty days became forty years, they kept repeating and God is not a God of partiality, He had to keep them in the same class for forty years.

They could not enter the next level, they could not enter the promised land because they failed, so they fell in the wilderness. When a student keeps failing and failing same exam and in same class, what will happen? That was what happened to the children of Israel, only Joshua and Caleb that passed the test of trust entered the promised land.

God was not testing them to speak in tongues or to have a faith that would move the mountain, He was not asking them to do something extraordinary, but to simply trust Him. You would see in those situations, like at the Red Sea, God did not say they should learn how to fast for a long period time or to pray for several hours, He only said they should relax and just trust Him. But they couldn’t.

Now, we all have God’s promises for our lives which we are waiting for their manifestations. We are all praying for the fulfillment of God’s promises in our lives, ministries, marriages, finances, etc.

The truth is that God is so eager to fulfill those promises for us. The promises of God that you saw in your dreams, that you were told are very, very real. But you cannot receive them until you pass the test of trust. So many children of God are dying in the wilderness of life, in the wilderness of their ministries in the wilderness of life and they never get to the promised lands because they are failing test of trust. Many children of God keep repeating the same class over and over and by so doing they are delaying the fulfillment of God’s promises for their lives. Some even think it is the enemies working against them or hindering them from getting to the promised land or their appointed time has not yet come, not know that the delay is a result of their failed test of trust in God.

When you cannot trust God to make a way for you at the Red sea, when you cannot trust God to turn the bad, bitter water at Marah to sweet and good water, to turn the bad news to good news, to turn the medical bad news, financial bad news, to good things but you fail and fall into your own wisdom, by telling lies; is not because you could not wait upon God and trust His way and timing that has made you to join them, the ungodly group. Some are compromising or running away from where God placed them because they can’t trust God.

Some cannot wait for God’s appointed time; they want to begin to eat the food of promised land even in the wilderness.

Why trusting God is so important? Why would God want to test us before taking us into the promised land? It is because if you don’t trust in God, you will not be able to obey God, you will not be able to move forward when God asks you to do so, you will not be able to take the right steps by faith, you will not be able to wait upon God, you will not be able to follow God’s leading. God told the children of Israel to move forward even at the Red Sea but they couldn’t because they did not trust God to make a way for them at the Red Sea. Many children of God remain at the same spot in different areas of they live, not because of witches or wizards but because they can’t trust God to move forward by faith.

Now, when a child of God falls, fails the test of God, and realizes his failure and asks God for forgiveness. God will forgive, ok? But He will make you start over again, teach you, make you to learn and then set another test for you in another aspect of your life. God will not repeat the same exam for you, He never brought about Red Sea test again for the children of Israel, but He brought another test in another place in another form.

God is delaying your next level because it would be dangerous for you to enter the promised land without total trust in Him. If you trust God, you will not join the worldly system, you will not lie to get papers, you will not falsify your information to travel abroad. Those who traveled abroad by force, by falsification, how is market for them now?

If you trust God for your marital life, you will not go and marry anyone who is not God’s will, you will not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. If you trust God, you will not go and look for help from ungodly or unbiblical places.

For how long are we going to keep repeating our TOT 101?

You didn’t trust God for your life the last time, you realized and said “God I am sorry, I will not do it again, have mercy upon me and I will trust You for the rest of my life”. Now God said, “Alright, I forgive you” Then He brought another test again, He allows your wife to have unplanned pregnancy even in your joblessness and your wife, a full time housewife. WHAT? “God why? Why? In this situation of joblessness or in this situation of my critical health, I was warned by doctor never to have pregnancy again or else!” God would see if you would trust Him again or you will fail again.

The last time God tested you, you failed but you repented and promised God to always faithfully trust Him. But now another test has come, will you trust Him now or you will still fail? You will still compromise and fail God again?

Brethren, are you going to fail the next test of trust or you are going to depend, trust and obey God, no matter what?

If only you can trust God this time around and for the rest of your life and in every area of your life, if only you can surrender all to Him and let Him take over to take glory over your life. If only you will not go astray in your own way this time again, if only you will not keep complaining and compromising God’s standards and you shall see the hand of God in your life, you will see God making an express road for you right in the middle of the Red Sea, you will see Him turning the bitter water of your Marah to good water, you will see Him turning the bad situation and the bad news to good testimony and good news, if only you will let Him have His way in your life. You will see Him bringing water from the rock for you.

If only you can surrender your life to Jesus and trust Him with all your heart, you will see Him fighting your battles for you and taking you to your promised land, a land flowing with milk and honey. Will God be asking you too much by asking you to just relax and hand over your life into His hands to turn it around for good? He is waiting at the door, let Him in and let Him take over from here and your life will turn around from here. Amen

BINDING THE STRONG MAN
Let's open our Bible to Mark 3:27, "No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house."

Last week the Lord opened my eyes to this revelation. We had been praying against the terrorism in Nigeria, but things are not getting better, but the Lord made me to understand that when evil is succeeding and spreading, there is a strong man behind it; the principality of the darkness and the first thing a child of God can do is to first bind the strong man behind the evil work. It is just like a tap water pouring on the floor, instead of switching off the water tap, you are busy mopping the floor, you will keep mopping and mopping without seeing the improvement of stopping the water. The same thing is applicable in the spiritual realm, there is a strong man behind terrorism, there is a strong man behind kidnapping, there is a strong man behind false teachings, there is a strong man behind all these prosperity false churches, there is a strong man behind the problem in your life, in your marriage, in your business or career.

It is not about praying and praying for the evil or problem to stop but it is to first bind the strong man behind it, that is to first off the water from the source. Stop busy mopping the floor, off the water that is running first then you can successfully mop the water on the flour and that is what we are going to do tonight. Amen

Look at your life, your health, your marriage, your church, your business, your ministry, your country. We are binding the strong man. The Bible says "No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house."

We want to pray, EVERY STRONG MAN WORKING AGAINST MY MARRIAGE, I BIND YOU IN JESUS NAME!

EVERY STRONG MAN WORKING AGAINST MY BUSINESS I BIND YOU IN JESUS NAME!

EVERY STRONG MAN OF SICKNESS AGAINST MY LIFE, I BIND YOU IN JESUS NAME!

EVERY STRONG MAN OF SICKNESS AGAINST MY LIFE, I BIND YOU IN JESUS NAME!

EVERY STRONG MAN AGAINST MY MINISTRY, I BIND YOU IN JESUS NAME!

EVERY STRONG MAN WORKING AGAINST MY CHURCH, I BIND YOU IN JESUS NAME!

EVERY STRONG MAN WORKING AGAINST MY CHILDREN I BIND YOU IN JESUS NAME!

Let me tell you the truth, strong man does not die, praying that the strong man should die is an act of ignorance and waste of time. If you look throughout the New Testament, the only command given to children of God to kill or put to dead is our old sinful nature and that is the only personality the Bible commands Christians to kill or put to dead. You don't kill demonic forces, you can't even kill the power behind them because powers don't die so there is no way that prayer of “die, die” makes any biblical sense. We are to bind the forces of darkness and we are to lose the blessing of God upon our lives and we lose people from under bondage

Let's open to Colossians 2:15, "Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it."

And so we want to pray
“Every strong man or principality behind the sickness, behind the setback, behind the delay in my life, I disarm you in Jesus name! Prayer.”

Listen to me brethren, you have given your life to Jesus but there is a particular sin struggling with your salvation, there is a strong man behind that sin.
What does it mean to disarm? it means to deactivate. You can have millions in your bank account, but if the bank account is deactivated, you can’t withdraw a penny from it, you can't even purchase airtime on it. You can have millions of enemies and strong men, principalities and powers against you, but if they are deactivated, they will do nothing. They don't need to die. If they die there will not be a public spectacle, public shame for them.

WE WANT TO PRAY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, I DEACTIVATE EVERY STRONG MAN, PRINCIPALITY, POWER AGAINST MY LIFE, AGAINST MY SPOUSE, AGAINST MY CHILDREN.

Now listen, there is a strong man behind every sickness which spread it around.

Hey, I’m not saying you should not use drugs, but first deactivate the strong man behind the sickness.

WE WANT TO BIND THEM IN JESUS NAME, I BIND THE STRONG MAN BEHIND THE MALARIA IN JESUS NAME
I BIND AND DEACTIVATE THE STRONG MAN BEHIND THE SICKNESS IN MY FAMILY JESUS NAME
I BIND THE STRONG MAN OF MISUNDERSTANDING IN MY MARRIAGE
I BIND THE STRONG MAN OF POVERTY IN MY FAMILY.

We want to pray the second part because of our time, before we pray the second part something just dropped in my mind. If you are having spirit husband or spirit wife, you must disconnect yourself from their tools and activities like the wigs, makeups, artificial beauties, masturbation, watching pornography and others, then rededicate your life to Jesus Christ.

"No one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house."

......... And then he will plunder his house."

ARE YOU READY TO RECOVER AND PLUNDER?

IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST,
I RECOVER MY HEALTH
I RECOVER MY MARRIAGE
I RECOVER MY BLESSINGS
I RECOVER MY CHILDREN
I RECOVER MY FINANCE
I RECOVER MY JOB
I RECOVER MY HEALTH
I RECOVER FROM ALL MY LOSSES
I AM FREE!

IN JESUS NAME. AMEN!

TOTAL WATCHFULNESS
Let me tell this secret. When you give your life to Jesus Christ and you are being sanctified daily in the word of God, in prayer and total obedience, it does not mean the tendency or temptation of the sins will never come to your mind again, no! it will come and come again. The difference between a sinner and a child of God, both are exposed to temptations but a child of God does not fall into temptation, that is the difference. A child of God is not exonerated from temptation but he or she overcomes temptation.

The book of James 1:12, “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” Every child of God must endure temptation without falling into it. The devil will still bring the pressure, the feeling, the attraction, and it will be heavy on you again, those demonic spirits behind the sins will come again to tempt you, it will seem as if you can’t stand, as if you will die if you don’t do it, as if you are so weak. So what are you going to do in such time? You will hold your peace, you will not do it, just hold your peace on the word of God. You must endure it without falling for it. God will allow the enemies of your soul to tempt you but for a particular period and then the feeling will fade away. It may last for 5 minutes, 1 hour or so but during that period of heavy pressure of the feeling, just hold your peace in the Lord and remember the words you have been hearing or reading.

You must also watch! Watching here means to abstain from everything that will link you to your old lifestyle or spark it up again. You must disconnect yourself from sinful and ungodly friendship and places, you must destroy and delete all sinful materials, music, movies, pictures, magazines that will lure you back to the old vomit.

And finally, you must determine and decide never to go back, no matter what. God will not make the determination for you, it is your responsibility. Why many Christians still fall back into masturbation, pornography, other sexual immoralities or sinful activities is because they have not totally made up their mind not to go to hell fire. The day you make up your mind that you are not going back to sin, that you are not going back to Satan’s bondage and that you are not going to end your journey in hell fire, you will not allow anything to bring you back into such sins again. Addicted sins need addicted determination to ever follow Jesus for life!

Let me read a Bible verse to you from the book of Hebrews 12:4, “You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.” Let me read it again, “You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. “That is it. That is the reason you keep falling back into the sin, because you have not yet resisted the temptation, the devil, the nature of that sin into bloodshed. What does that mean? It means if you know and see that anyone who becomes masturbation or pornography will fall down and die immediately, will you want to still do it and die instantly? You will not! You will not want to die because of 5 minutes’ dirty enjoyment. That is how you must strive against sin and the grace of the Lord will sustain you in Jesus name.

So what do you need now? You make a total dedication of your life to Jesus by repenting from all your sins, confessing and forsaking them, all without any reservation. Then you make a total devotion unto God. Devote all your life to Him in reading, meditating, studying and obeying His Word. Occupy your heart with the Word of God and praying without seasoning, pray for purification, pray for sanctification, pray for God’s grace and strength to overcome daily. Then you watch, watch against sinful tendencies, resist the thoughts, the notions, the feelings, the pleasure and disconnect yourself from anything, anywhere or anybody that will bring you back to the old lifestyles.

NOW IT IS TIME TO PRAY, BEFORE I PRAY WITH YOU, I WANT YOU TO REPENT FROM ALL YOUR SINS, READY TO FORSAKE ALL AND SAY LORD JESUS, I COME BEFORE YOU, I AM SORRY FOR SINNING AGAINST YOU, PLEASE FORGIVE ALL MY SINS, CLEANSE ME WITH YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD, GIVE ME A NEW HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT IN JESUS NAME!

LET ME PRAY FOR YOU, AS YOU HAVE SURRENDERED YOUR LIFE TO JESUS AND CONFESSED HIM AS YOUR LORD, RECEIVE HIS TOUCH, YOU ARE DELIVERED FROM EVERY BONDAGE OF THE DEVIL, YOU ARE SET FREE IN JESUS NAME! FROM HENSEFORTH, LET NO ONE TROUBLE YOU FOR YOU BEAR THE MARK OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS IN YOUR LIFE. IT IS WELL WITH YOUR SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY IN JESUS NAME! AMEN. REMAIN BLESSED.

WHAT WILL YOU ASK?
1 Kings 3:11, “Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice.”

King Solomon had open cheque from the Almighty God to ask whatsoever He wanted, this is like the only occasion in the Old Testament Bible where God would tell a man to ask whatever he wanted and God was ready to do it for him, that was the case of King Solomon. In 1 Kings 3:5, “At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?” What a golden opportunity, just anything and it is done immediately without any delay. Since God can do all things.

There are 3 major things an average Christian would have asked God in such a situation and God might have expected Solomon to ask one of them. But Solomon did not behave like an average Christian, he did not ask God for any of those popular requests and this really impressed God and He was so happy with Solomon. “Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice.” 1 Kings 3:11

King Solomon did not ask for long life for himself, which is the desire of all men, he did not ask for riches for himself and he did not ask for the life of his enemies rather he asked for the understanding of God’s will and way; this pleased God so well.
What about you? What are your priority in your prayer and preaching? What are the priority of your heart desires? If God were to ask you this morning as He told Solomon, to ask anything you want, what would be your request? Will you not ask for riches and prosperity as many Christians are doing today? Or will you not ask that your enemy should fall than and die like so many Christians today?

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

Solomon became the richest person in the history of the world and he never asked for it. Think about it, that the most prosperous person, the richest person never prayed the prayer of prosperity in his life, yet God prospered him. And also he never prayed against his enemies, and God gave him peace all around. So now, you can see that God’s prosperity and riches does not come by hearing messages of prosperity here and there, by reading 7 keys for prosperity, for financial breakthrough before God will prosper you. Solomon never prayed a prayer of prosperity or riches and yet God prospered him more than any other person. You know what God said in verse 13, He said, “And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.”

King Solomon never asked for the life of his enemies, he did not pray that his enemies should fall down and die, yet he had a peaceful life. And so you can see that praying, fasting and firing that your enemies should fall down and die by fire or by thunder, that is not what will give you peace and long life.

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

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

There are two major misled churches in this end time which the devil is using to mislead so many Christians, the number one is prosperity church, that is the church whose priority and purpose centers on earthly and temporal prosperity and breakthrough of this life. This type of church or Christian preach and pray more for financial prosperity than purity of life. And the second misled church is problematic church, that is the church whose priority and mission is deliverance from witches and wizards, from problems of life. These type of churches and Christians pray more for the enemies in their family to die than for the sinners in their family to be saved.

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

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

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

What is your priority life? What shall it profit you if you gain the whole world and lose your soul. You cannot make heaven number second in your life, in your daily pursuit and make that heaven at the end. You need to seek first the kingdom of heaven before you can be able to make it at last. And you need to know that seeking first the kingdom of God, pursuing righteousness and holiness does not mean you will be poor in life, no! it only means you will have the blessings of God in your life without sorrow, without satanic or sinful sorrow.

Seek first the kingdom of God in your personal life, let the salvation of your soul be your paramount desire or what shall it profit if you get the whole money in this world, if you get the whole position in this world, if you get the power, the possession and the population in your ministry and at the end you lose your soul to the devil. Seek and spend your life for what has eternal value. The houses, cars, positions, money and other things of this life that you are pursuing have no eternal value, they will not follow you to eternal. Without holiness, no one will seek the Lord, that is eternal value.

Dear minister of God, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and holiness, seek for the salvation of souls, center your preaching on righteousness so you will receive eternal reward for turning people to righteousness. Do you know that there is no eternal reward for ministry turning people to financial prosperity in their sins? No eternal rewards for deliverance from family curses without deliverance from sin?

The Bible says in Daniel 12:3,
“Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, seek to turn people into the kingdom of God and His righteousness and you will shine like the stars from here to eternity forever and ever. Amen.

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

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

After the healing of the cripple man, so many people rallied round Peter and John, seeing them as superhero, super human being, super holy men, or extraordinary men; but Peter quickly cleared the air and told them the secret of God's power in action, the secret of real deliverance, " So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? Acts 3:12.

Deliverance does not come by calling God of Babalola, God of any man of God, and so on, by calling such, you are putting part of your faith in such men. Even Apostle Peter said it was not by his own power.

Deliverance or God's power does not come by faith in our prayer, how lengthy or how long, it is not how lengthy or how long you pray that brings deliverance or manifestation of God’s power. And you need to know that deliverance or miracle does not come by shouting or jumping while praying. Some people claim they need to shout at the top of their voices before God will answer, no. Shouting in prayer depends on individual nature and differences; and you need to know that deliverance is not in our work of godliness even though we are living godly.
What is the secret of deliverance? What is the secret of manifestation of God's power? We need to check what Peter said, "And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all." Acts 3:16

Now we can see two things:
1, The name of Jesus Christ.
2, Faith in the name of Jesus Christ

These two must go together at the same time for you to experience the power of God in your life.

You can call the name of Jesus Christ without having faith in His name, but you cannot have faith in His name without calling on His name. Many times we call on or scream the name of Jesus Christ out of fear not out of faith, that is the reason no deliverance follows and no miracle follows.

How do we know if we have faith in the name of Jesus Christ when we pray? Or how do we know that Peter actually had faith in the name of Jesus that he called? Simple, it's by action that follows after calling the name of Jesus Christ.

Let's look at Peter for example, what did he do after he called on the name of Jesus Christ when he prayed for the cripple man? He took a step of faith, action that goes in line with his faith. "And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength." Acts 3:7.

What if Peter had fear that if lifted him by hand and at last he didn't walk? Peter could be afraid and said, "So that means I will be the one to be holding him about for life, since I'm the one who find trouble."

You know what? Goya olive oil called anointing oil can't help you, mantle, holy water, candle, sowing seed, marathon fasting and prayer, mountains, special men of God with special anointing can't deliver you; what you need is the name of Jesus Christ and faith in the name. But before you can use the two you must first be saved from your sins through the same name; by total repentance and forsaking your sins. Yes, Peter told them too, he said, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 3:19.

Before you can be delivered from the bondage of curses, witches and wizards, enemies, evil forces and Satan, you must first be delivered from sin. That is the greatest deliverance you need. If you see someone living under the yoke, bondage and shackle of sin and he is running after deliverance from enemies, such a person is living in season ignorance. Any deliverance you get without deliverance from sin and sinful nature, you are still in a serious bondage of Satan.

Do you think your marital life needs deliverance? Or your finance, your health, your marriage, your children or your business? None of these are as important as deliverance of your soul. Every sinner is languishing under the yoke and bondage of Satan. That is the reason Jesus says, “Come unto Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11”28.

Since you have been running after special deliverances of enemies, have you found rest for your soul? Since you have been praying that “enemies should die, die” have you found rest for your soul? Since you have been running for the latest man of God to the latest prophet of God, have you found rest for your soul? For how long will you keep running here and there, jumping here and there, running after men, when you can simply surrender your life to Jesus and take authority. Look at you, you have become a slave in the name of looking for deliverance when you can possess everything in the name of Jesus Christ.

Why not surrender your life to Jesus and experience genuine salvation and total freedom in Christ? Today is the day of your salvation.

Surrender all to Jesus,
Ask Him to forgive you,
Forsake sin and all the works of Satan,
Start a new life in Jesus Christ.
And you begin to walk in total deliverance and authority through the name of Jesus Christ and faith in Him.

God bless you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We can see here that Zacharias kept serving God even when there is a serious delay. It is actually in serving God during the delay that God serves you with the best.

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

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

Question time! You might have been asking God, why? God why? You are a child of God, you love God with all your heart but things are not working as expected, why? What is going on? I spoke with a Christian brother few days ago and he said he doesn’t why God is treating him like this. Many questions you cannot answer why God allows this or that. I may not be able to answer the questions on your mind, but I want you to answer these question from your heart:

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

1, If God is for you, who can be against you? It seems you don’t understand, if God is for you, which weapon formed against you shall prosper? Which sickness formed against you shall prosper? Which conspiracy formed against you shall prosper?

2, He who did not spare His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? It means if God so loved you that He gave His Only Begotten Son to die for you on the cross, what is bigger than Jesus that God cannot freely give you?

3, Now the bigger question, who shall separate you from the love of Christ? It means what will you allow or permit to separate you from the love of Christ, to remove your name form the Book of Life? You need to ask yourself. Is it because of the present situation?

God’s delay is to determine if you deserve the best. So what do you need to do now? You need to simply do what Elizabeth and Zacharias did – keeping serving God, keep pleasing Him because your time of divine visitation is on the way, and when He comes He should meet you serving Him, like Zacharias.

And let me pray with you, “RECEIVE THE TOUCH OF GOD, RECEIVE THE STRENGTH OF GOD, RECEIVE THE HEALING OF GOD, RECEIVE THE MIRACLE YOU ARE RESERVED FOR IN JESUS NAME!

Stay blessed in Christ.
