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

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

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

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

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

Why do you complain as if Jesus is not able to ask His Father for immediate provision for you? But how will the purpose of God come to pass in your life? You must care for God’s purpose coming to pass in you’re your life, not complaining about the present condition which will soon pass away. This week (April 3rd 2013) has been a tough week for me, about two days ago, I felt like, “God, why will you allow me passing through this tough time, it is getting to much for me.” But then God gave me this message, I has to encourage myself in the Lord and hold on. It is not easy to hold on in this present life when everything is moving fast, but since God controls time and season, our waiting on Him will not make our season to expire until His special promises comes to pass. He is never too late. You may say, “But it is late already, time has really gone on me.” The truth is that, when we wait on God, He turns the “late” to “latest” since He is in charge of the universe.

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

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

7 DANGERS OF WORRY!
(1) It kills faith. When you allow worry, you are burying your faith alive.

(2) It distracts Christians from putting their total trust in God.

(3) It brings discouragement. Worry only shows you how impossible and terrible things are, worry can not encourage you or give you right solution, but only to make you discouraged.

(4) It weakens prayer life. Worry weakens prayer life, it shows you that prayer can't solve the matter on ground; it tells you God is not or will not help. The major assignment of worry is to weak prayer life; when you allow worry to linger in your heart, your prayer life will be lost.

(5) It leads to sinful alternative. When worry is almost through with its assignment in a Christian's life, there will begin suggestions of sinful alternatives; since your faith is weak, your prayer life is down and since God can't help now, the next thing is to think of sinful alternative. That is how many Christians backslide.

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

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

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

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

Say NO to Worry!

"Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God." Philippians 4:6

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE WRONG PERSPECTIVE.........please read this.
Which one is the largest: A Peanut, An Elephant, The Moon, or A Kettle?

Looking from a short sight, an Elephant is the largest, but looking in real sense and long sight, the Moon is far bigger than Elephant more than 1000 times.

The same way most of us view life, we see the present more important than the future, we care for the present world than eternity, we see “now, now” more precious to us than “then”. Yes, that is how Satan wants you to think and act, he wants you to give what you need most for what you need the moment, he want you to sacrifice your soul for the pleasure of your body, he wants you to see this present world bigger and more important than your eternity.

Do you care of getting money, getting job, getting contracts, getting visas, getting married, getting everything that can make this life comfortable for you at the expense of holiness and righteousness? The devil will tell you to focus on this present world and then you can think about heaven later. But who knows what will happen before tomorrow? And 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?

Be wise, don’t give what you need most for what you need the moment; don’t sacrifice your eternity for this present perishing world. Surrender your life to Jesus completely without deceiving yourself, confess and forsake your sins, read your Bible daily and pray for God’s grace to please Him. Live with eternity in view, you may not get everything you need here at every time but as long as your name remain in the Book of Life, you are the wisest.

Don’t compromise like every other Christian, worker or Pastor around; be different because you don’t want to go where they are going. You have a dream, a focus, to make heaven, and look only unto Jesus.

Hebrews 11: 24 By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18

GOD BLESS YOU!

THE IMPLICATIONS OF GIVING YOUR LIFE TO JESUS!
Do you know that when you give your life to Jesus Christ, you no longer live for yourself but for Jesus, you don't do what pleases you, talk as you like, dress as you like, you do everything to please Jesus your Lord, since it is no longer your life again, you have given it to Jesus, it is now Jesus' life.

GREAT BLESSING WHEN YOUR LIFE DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU!
Apart from living to please God the Owner of your life, since you have given your life to Him, another blessing is that when you give your life to Jesus, the implication is that life is no longer in your hand, so it is no more possible for you to ruin your life or for satanic forces to destroy your life.

Do you know what it means? When you give your life to Jesus, your life is now well secured in His hand, so you yourself cannot even ruin your life again with careless living or decision, because it is not in your hand again. And enemies cannot destroy your life, because they have no access to it again. Please me give you an example below:

You have a huge amount of money, and you decided to put it into Government’s Treasury Bill for a particular period. And someone asked you, “Where is your money?” You replied, “I have fixed it for Government’s Treasury Bill (for Government to use it for particular period and pay you interest on it). Now let me tell this, apart from the fact that your money will have interest value added, there TWO THINGS THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TO YOUR MONEY:

1, You can’t waste the money or spend it anyhow, because it is no longer your money at that time, it is Government’s money. So, when you give your life to Jesus, it is no longer your life, it is God’s life. You can’t waste it, you can’t live anyhow, because it is no more your life. You know what the Bible says, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20. So it is not possible for someone who has given his life to Jesus to live carelessly, to dress carelessly, to talk carelessly, because it is no longer your life, but Jesus’ life and you must life to please Him. You will not do what Jesus will not do, you will not dress the way Jesus will not dress, you will not talk or behave the way Jesus will not.

2. The second thing that can’t happens when you put your money into Government’s Treasury Bill is that, it can’t be stolen. If thief comes to you and say, “I heard you got a huge amount of money, where is it, give me now” Then you would say, “Sorry, it’s no longer my money, it is Government’s money, I have put it in the hand of Government to use it” What can the thief do? The money is not even in your bank account; if the thief says, “With my gun, I will lead you to your bank straight away, so that your bank will take me to Central Bank or National Bank, and the Central Bank will lead me to the Government’s Treasury so that I can rob you of your money” How possible is that? It is never possible!

Exactly the same thing is applicable, when you give your life to Jesus, your life is not in your hands again, not even in your account of your past record; and when the devil and his demonic or human agents come to steal, to kill and to destroy your life, your health, your destiny, your marriage, your children’s life, your ministry, your business, your academy, what will you say? You will say, “Sorry, I have given my life to Jesus, if you are serious with your mission, go to the angels of God, they will lead you to Jesus and Jesus will lead you to God, so you can rob God and collect my life from Him because the Bible says my life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3.” How possible is that? NEVER!

When you give your life to Jesus, there many prayer points you will not join them to pray again, prayers like “Every power that want to ruin my destiny” that is not possible, no power can ruin your life that is hidden with Christ and also in God. “Every wicked force sitting on my destiny” Hey, that is not possible beloved, when you give your life to Jesus, you are seated with Christ in the heavenly, no demonic power or person can climb on top of Jesus and sit on your destiny, ok?

Those bad things can only happen to a child of God if he collects his life back from Jesus. Is it possible for a Christian to give and collect his life back from Jesus? What happens if he does? By God’s grace we will continue the Comparative Bible Sharing (CBS) tomorrow, God’s willing. Please follow it on my Facebook page @EvangelistGideonAkande.

Beloved, it is not safe to be carrying huge cash around, you can be tempted to spend it anyhow or it can be stolen, so also it is not safe to be carrying your life around by yourself, give your life to Jesus now, to keep it safe and secure for eternity. If you want to give your life to Jesus afresh, please click on this link, read and pray as directed http://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-can-i-be-saved/270674586372252

YOUR LOCATION HAS TO DO WITH YOUR ALLOCATION
About seven years ago, June 2013, I was having my quiet time with God that beautiful morning and as I was praising God, the Lord told me clearly "MOVE TO ABUJA".

It was about 3 months in our marriage. I got married as a full time online Evangelist, so humanly speaking I was jobless. I had no church connection than to preach on Facebook. I had no laptop, I was going to cyber cafe daily to do my ministration. And my wife, a biochemist, also had no job, and how did she agree to marry a jobless, no-salary, no church Evangelist? I told her she should not worry, that "God would give us our own business that would take care of our marriage and ministry "

We got married April 20th 2013, moved to Lagos from Ibadan, and living in one abandoned shop behind a non functioning MRS filling station (Now NNPC) by Omole Phase 1 gate Berger/ Ogba road. No electricity, no kitchen, but public toilet. Until Daddy Sam, a friend of my wife's brother, came to visit the new couple with his wife; when they saw the deplorable situation we were living in, they offered us a room in their 2 bedroom flat. And we gladly accepted and moved in with him where he had his wife, kid and mother in-law.

It was in Daddy Sam's living room I was praying that the Lord spoke to me to move to Abuja with my wife. But before we eventually moved, we made several efforts on our business but nothing yielded. I would go to Berger bus stop to sell Dove soap by roadside at a giveaway price just to get little money to buy food for my pregnant wife, yet it was difficult to eat.

I remember getting a facial soap directly from an importer in Lagos who decided to help us and supply us small quantities with low price. The soap that worth about N1500, we were selling N500, yet we could not sell. But when we moved to Abuja in July, we began to sell same soap for N1500, the funniest thing was that more people in Lagos began to buy the soap from Abuja. Our efforts began to yield as we moved to where God wanted us to be. We even had more customers in Lagos.

This month marks our sever years in Abuja, God has been faithful, He has been doing what I told my wife when we wanted to marry, that God would give us a business that would provide for our marriage and ministry. The business we started in Abuja 7 years ago with about N100,000 is having about 30 full time staff now including in Lagos.

Brethren, whenever I see a child of God or a Christian couple struggling with their finances or career, the first thing that would come to mind is, are they where God want them to be? Are they in the right location? It is not about witches and wizards, it is not always "God's time has not come" if you are in a wrong place and doing right thing, you will keep struggling in your finance and even ministry. Go to God to know if you are where He wants you to be and follow His leading.

If God's plan for you is to be in Lagos at a particular time and you are in London, you will keep struggling. If God want you to be in Akure and you run to Abuja, nothing really will work. If God wants you in Accra and you are in Aberdeen, nothing will work.

We are all like seeds, our level of fruitfulness is determined by the right land, place we are. Can you imagine planting good cocoa seeds in a place like northern Nigeria, no matter how good the seed, no matter how many effort you put to grow it, it will be struggling. Not because the seed is bad but it is in a wrong place. Same thing is applicable to everyone. The place we choose determine your fruitfulness. David said, "The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good inheritance." Psalm 16:6.

That is the reason we must walk with the Lord and follow the leading of Holy Spirit, not only to make heaven but also not to miss destiny on earth. When you desire to seek the will of God in everything, you will not be roaming about on earth without a divine guide.

Let me round up my story. So in July 2013 I decided to first move to Abuja and get accommodation so my wife could come the following few days. My brother in-law helped with N250,000. From it we bought products of about N100K, travelled and ate from it. As I arrived Abuja, I called one estate agent who wanted to take me to a room apartment, and he told me to wait for him in front of a bank. I went there, waiting.

As I was waiting the Holy Spirit told me to look at my back and enter inside a close street which I obeyed; the road ended with a big compound, the Lord led me to enter inside, without knowing anyone or seeing any sign of room for rent outside. I got inside the compound, I saw room for rent, they allowed part payment, and I got it. I slept there from that night.

Do you know God is interested in where you live including the house you rent, the shop you rent, the suit you rent for office, the land you buy to build house or to farm? If you miss God's will in any of these, you will keep struggling and you will wrongly blame others or yourself.

Beloved, let God lead you in everything, don't choose by your own wisdom.

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

Shalom!

BEING IN TUNE
If you are driving from Lagos to Ibadan, a journey of about 120klm, and you tune to your favourite radio station in your vehicle, for example LAGOS 97.5 FM; as you are driving around Lagos the radio station will be very clear. But you will discover that as you move a bit far away from Lagos, the radio wave will be getting noisy as if wing is carrying it on and off, and it will get to a particular point that you will not be able to hear what they are saying on the radio clearly again because you are driving far away from Lagos where the radio station is located. Along the journey it will get to a point where you will not hear any word or music from the radio station again except the noise. And by the time you get to the city of Ibadan, you may be surprised that you will be hearing another station picked up from that same 97.5 FM, but no longer LAGOS FM, it is another radio station in Ibadan. This is the illustration the Lord gave me when we were praying in the fellowship about our relationship and connection with Holy Spirit.

Let me explain details to you below:

DIFFERENT LEVELS OF CONNECTION WITH HOLY SPIRIT
1. Full Connection
When you repent and become born again, the Holy Spirit enters into your life and becomes your Companion, Great Teacher and Comforter; you are in tune with the Holy Spirit, and as long you maintain intimacy with Him through reading and meditating the Word of God, praying, obeying the Word of God and following the leading of the Holy Spirit; you will remain in tune with the Holy Spirit the Great Comforter and Teacher.

In such situation you are in clear connection with Holy Spirit, you can hear Him leading you and guiding you in all your ways. You don’t need a prophet to tell you the mind of God, His Spirit is already in you speaking clearly to you and leading you. He tells you how to pray, what to pray, and sometimes, when to pray. And it is the same Holy Spirit that will help you to make the Rapture when it happens.

2. Fading Connection
This is a situation where a Believer is not fully connected or in tune with the Holy Spirit, when the noises of the world, of the flesh and of Satan begin to compete with the voice of Holy Spirit because such believer is moving a bit far away from the Holy Spirit. When half obedience is replacing full obedience, when prayer life, Bible reading life, and evangelism life is not growing but rather going down; when a believer begins to toil with sin and calls sin a moderate, acceptable names. Such a believer cannot hear the voice of the Spirit clearly, not too far but not very close.

3, Faraway Disconnection
This is a point where many Christians have gone far from the Holy Spirit that they only hear the noise of the world, no voice of the Spirit of God and no melody of spiritual things again. Consistently grieving the Holy Spirit, continuous confessing and committing sin, becoming friendly with worldly styles and ways, refusing to repent immediately as the Holy Spirit corrects you, inconsistent prayer life, skipping Bible reading and forgetting about evangelism among others lead to this stage of disconnection from the Holy Spirit.

When the things of God look boring to you and the Holy Spirit seems far away from you, it means you are no longer in tune with the Holy Spirit, you have gone far from His reach and coverage.

Many Christians are in this level of faraway disconnection from the Holy Spirit, but they are still making noise of speaking in tongues, of old testimonies, of paying tithes and offerings and occupying positions in the church; many are being deceived by the noise of empty prayer life and church activities without connection with the Holy Spirit again. Un-repented sins and continuous disobedience to the Holy Spirit keep many away from full connection of Holy Spirit.

This is not the last level of connection in Christian life, it's the number 4:

4, Familiar Spirit Re-connection
Just like the illustration the Lord gave me of a person who tunes his car’s stereo to LAGOS 97.5 FM in Lagos and driving to Ibadan, by the time he gets to Ibadan, though his car stereo still tunes to 97.5, but another radio station will take over in Ibadan. This is the worst and most dangerous level a Christian can be in the spirit. When a Christian gets to level 3 of faraway disconnection from the Holy Spirit, and such Christian refuses to retrace his way back to Bethel where he met Christ, to the territory of Holy Spirit connection, then the devil will take over completely; even though on his car stereo he still tunes to 97.5, but another radio station is operating in the wave.

Many Christians and ministries today are under the manipulation and control of familiar spirit of the forces of darkness but they still think it is the Holy Spirit whereas Holy Spirit has long time ago disconnected from them. As it is applicable to Christian members, so it is to Christian ministers, even though they still pray, preach and dress like before, though they still speak in tongues and perform miracles, yet they are under the control of another spirit.

A long time far away from the Holy Spirit gives way to familiar spirit to take over, and this is the most terrible situation where there is no more condemnation of evil, where the conscience is seared, where the flesh takes over, where truth is seen as false and lie is defended as truth; when a Christian easily flows with the world.

You remember king Saul in the Bible? He started with the fullness of the Spirit of God but ended with familiar spirit. When he got to the point of faraway disconnection, instead of him to retrace his way back to God and repent, he continued going farther away from God until he got reconnected with a familiar spirit and had a disastrous ending. Many Christians and ministers are following the steps of King Saul even till today.

A TIMELY WARNING!
When you think you are still in tune with a spirit giving you confidence in your sin and worldliness, it is a familiar spirit of the devil manipulating you, not the Holy Spirit, because Holy Spirit does not abide in sin.

When you are still hearing a voice speaking to you to ignore Bible warnings, and the spirit is defending you and pushing you to continue in ungodly ways and worldliness, it is the spirit from the pit of hell.

When a spirit is giving you confidence in sin and misinterpreting the word of God to sooth sin, that does not condemn sin, that tells you to cover sin, that tells you not to condemn sin in your ministry, that tells you those sinful things you rejected before are not that bad, such spirit is a familiar spirit from the pit of hell.

GO BACK TO GOD
Are you having fading connection with Holy Spirit? You are far away from the Holy Spirit? Or you have been manipulated by familiar spirit? It is not too late, all you need to do is to repent, retrace your way back to Jesus and be renewed. Jesus is waiting for you where you left Him. He still loves you and it is not over yet. Do not delay further, go back to Him now!

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

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

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

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

THE CHURCH & TERRORISTS
The church cannot overcome terrorists outside because they have been overpowered by terrorist inside which is Mammon - love of money.

All the the churches who are collecting without distributing what they collect are overpowered.

All these churchs' private universities, secondary and primary schools with higher schools more than governments school fees are already overpowered Mammon. They don't have money for free education, free library, free primary health centres but they have money to build N5billions auditorium, private jets, etc.

All the churches with private jet pastors are slaves of Mammon.

You know why the early church was committed to daily distribution of food and necessasities for the whole church and Apostle Peter, the seemly General Overseer, did not have coins of silver and gold let alone having a private jets or being in the list of the richest pastors? It's because they knew welfare of the members is the primary responsibility of the church not the government.

The church in Nigeria collects more money from people than what the governments collect from the people.

There cannot be a good politician when the pastors are not godly. When the senior pastors hire police to protect them and they tell members to trust God for their protections after collecting their money, do you expect the politicians to do lesser?

The solution to the problems in Nigeria or Africa is not good politicians but godly pastors, it's not good governance but godly church.

The Bible says when your light becomes darkness, how tick will be the darkness? The light of a country the church, the angel is the pastor not the politician, and when the church becomes corrupt and the angels turn to wolfs, the result is what you will see in Nigeria.

Let's repent from the love of Mammon and return to our first love before the terrorists outside conquer the church as it happened to Turkey.

God bless you.

WHEN GOD IS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES FOR YOUR GOOD

Some time ago, the fuel in my car was almost empty so I branched to a favorite filling station to fill my tank. As the attendant was filling the car’s tank, I sat in the car. Then my attention was drawn to the fuel gauge on the dashboard which was already on the empty line, but as the car was being filled with fuel, the gauge didn’t move from the empty line. The tank was filled to the fullest, yet the gauge still remained at the empty line on the dashboard, why? Because the car was off. After the car’s tank was full and covered, then starting the car, the gauge raised to the last line of Full tank.

On this usual incidence, the Lord drew my attention to it to teach me a lesson, that many time when we are empty in some aspects of our lives and trusting God to fill us, and while He is busy filling us with the fullness of His blessings and grace behind the scene, we may not see it immediately and so we still feel empty. You know what? If you take your eyes off the fuel gauge and look behind, you will see the fuel attendant busy filling your tank with fuel. So also, if you take away your eyes from what is happening around you, from the empty feeling, and look by faith unto God, you will see the great things God is working out perfectly for you.

THE TWO REASONS
There are two reasons while we may not see the manifestation of the fullness of God’s blessings and grace in our lives at a time:

When The Appointed Time Has Not come
You know, if you drive to a fuel station to fill your tank, it is advisable to off your car while filling it with fuel, you need to wait till the fueling it through and your tank is covered before starting the car. The same thing is applicable with God; there is an appointed time for the manifestation, no need to rush. Do not be in hurry to rush out while God is still filling you. Those who rush will run into problem. That is the reason the Bible admonishes us several times to wait on the Lord, because there is an appointed time.

Only those who lack faith in the Lord find it difficult to wait for God’s time. Those who rush out before the appointed time of God will definitely run out of the anointing of God. In anything you are trusting God for, please wait for the appointed time of God and you will enjoy it to its fullest.

When We Refuse To Start
If you drive to a filling station to fill your car, you off the car and fill your tank and after it’s full you refuse to start the car, you may not see change with the fuel gauge on the dashboard until you start the car. Many times, we need to take the steps of faith before we can see and experience the manifold of God’s miraculous working in our lives. When the appointed time comes, the Lord will open the door in a godly way, but if you refuse to move or take the step, the glory will not manifest and the blessings will not unfold.

Don’t Be Discouraged!
The closer you are to the glory and goodness of God, the nearer you are to the appointed time of blessings of God, the more the discouragement from the devil, the more distraction from the devil. Though you may see nothing working or changing well, but behind the scene God is working miraculous great things for your good so don’t be discouraged to walk away from your glorious destiny.

Don’t Let The Devil Deceive You
Imagine while God is filling your car’s empty tank behind the scene, and because you are not seen it, the devil offers you a bicycle, and then you abandon the car that is taking you to your glorious destiny and follow devil’s distraction to destruction? That will be horrible.

Those who in haste collect the key of prosperity from the devil will only use it to open the door of problems and eternal destruction.

As long you remain in the Lord and refuse the sinful offers from the devil, you shall soon see the glory of God permanent in your life because God is working everything for your good and for His glory.

“Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him.” Isaiah 30:18

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

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

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

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

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

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

JUNETEETH CHRISTIANS (June 19th)
On June 19, 1865, tagged as Juneteenth by Black Americans then, the enslaved men and women in Texas finally learned that they were free — more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in rebelling states. The Black slaves remained in bondage by their slave masters for more than 2 years after their emancipation Proclamation.
Do you know same thing is happening to many people today? After Jesus saved and set you free from sin, the slave master devil will want to keep you in perpetual bondage of some sins called addicted sins, and deceiving many that you can't be free from addicted sins just like that, and that you must remain enslaved or you will need special deliverance apart from the work of salvation. You know what? Jesus has paid for all and He has set us free from every sin, either addicted sins or general sins, we are free completely and we must not be slave of any sin. Do not remain under the bondage of masturbation, drug, lying or any form of sin after you are saved. Jesus has set us free indeed!
Secondly, do you know that some people say after they are saved in Christ and become a new creature in Christ, that Jesus only set them free from sins but not from principalities, powers of darkness, handwritten generational curse or evil forces of their families. They said after their salvation in Christ, they are still slaves of evil forces, though they are now seated with Christ in heavenly places but witches and wizards can still sit on their destinies, and there is need for additional declaration of freedom through special deliverance work maybe on mountain or somewhere apart from the declaration of their salvation.
They ignorantly say, "Your salvation in Christ has nothing to do with generational curses, and witches do not care if you are seated with Christ in heavenly, they can still climb on Jesus and come and meet you beside Jesus and sit on your destiny" They say, "Even if your life is hided in Christ when you become saved, hmmm, witches and wizards are very bad oh, they will break into Jesus' stomach, take your life and destroy it. That is the reason you need continuous special deliverance, prayers of witches fall and die even after you are genuinely saved."
Such people are Juneteenth Christians, they are ignorant of the complete work of freedom, total emancipation by Christ on the cross, they are being fed by doctrines of demons that makes no difference between the saved and unsaved, between saints in Christ and sinners in the world.
When you are genuinely saved in Christ, He sets you free from all sins, addicted sins, from all principalities, powers, curses, evil handwritten, evil forces of witches and wizards; Here is what Bible says about me and you before and after we are saved:
“And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians 2:13-15.
YOUR QUESTION?
But why are some Children of God who are serving God in holiness and yet the enemies are troubling their lives?
JESUS’ ANSWER
I was in the boat with My disciples, yet the devil came to trouble it on the sea to the extent that it almost sinks and they were crying in fear. I asked them, “Where is your faith?” So the fact that I’m in the boat of your life, marriage, health, ministry or business does not mean devil will not want to trouble you, but you must command by faith, not cry in fear. When you command in faith, he will flee away but when you begin to cry in fear he will force his will on your life. Where is your faith in Me? Command in My Name!”
God bless you!

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER RAPTURE: THE GREAT TRIBULATION
Do you realize we are in the very end time and this world will soon come to an end? As the Biblical prophesies of the end time are fulfilling right in our eyes and the love of many are becoming cold by the cares and deceptions of the world; the next event we are waiting for is the Rapture, which is the catching away of the saints. As Jesus Christ said, “I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. 35 Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. 36 Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” Luke 17:34, 35. This event may happen any moment from now.

The big questions are: What happens after the Rapture? What will happen to the unbelievers and careless Christians who miss the Rapture? The Great Tribulation! While the raptured saints will be celebrating the Marriage of the Lord’s Supper with Jesus Christ, and receive rewards over there, the Left-behinds will be suffering Great Tribulation here on earth with Satan. It will be a terrific period of pain and panic that has never existed before. “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. “Matthew 24:20-22

The Great Tribulation will start by the reign of Anti-Christ, a satanic powered personality who will rule the whole world with his evil mark of the beast, 666. “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16, 17. Those who refuse the mark will be tormented to death, it will be a horrible period which will be hard to resist, but those who make their stands for Jesus and refuse the mark will make it to heaven after their death. Rev. 7:9, 14. The people that receive the mark will automatically become the enemies of God, they will be given temporal freedom to buy and sell but they are doomed forever.

The better questions to ask are: when will you surrender your life to Jesus? When will you totally rededicate your life to Jesus and settle EVERYTHING with Him? When will you make your way right with God and stand for righteousness in the midst of this unrighteous generation? The answer should be NOW, or never! If you have not genuinely accepted Jesus into your life by becoming a new creature and living above sin, if you are a worldly, careless or modern Christian, if you are afraid or not certain about your eternity, this moment is a greatest time for you to settle everything with Jesus NOW! You are the luckiest person if you are reading this message before the rapture; it means you are still alive; the deaths have no such opportunity, because after death is the judgment. You can’t wait for the Great tribulation, you may die before then, you may not survive it, now is the best and certain time to settle your eternity with God.

You are a Christian? But are you living in line with God's word or in line with the words of modern pastors? Have you settled all and made everything clear before God or there are still some no-go-areas in your life? Any unconfessed sin or unsettled restitution? Any worldliness or compromise? Those Christians who leave some aspects of their live behind unsettled will be left behind on the rapture day.

Your greatest privilege of being alive today is not to make more money but to make your way right with God for genuine salvation of your soul. So what are you waiting for? Repent, rededicate your life to Jesus, restore, recommit, and renew your relationship with the Savior, and be sure of your life after here before it is too late!

Blow the trumpet in Zion,
And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;
For the day of the LORD is coming,
For it is at hand:
2 A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
A people come, great and strong,
The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations………
“Now, therefore,” says the LORD,
“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the LORD your God,
For He is gracious and merciful. . .
Joel 2:1-2, 12, 13.

YIELD NOT!
When people, pressure, persuasion or feeling to commit sin comes again, DON’T YIELD! It is then you will discover the strength and grace of God as your weakness is turned to strength. When the feeling of being empty, of wandering of thoughts, of weakness, of discouragement and despair comes to stop you from your decision and move to serve God, DON’T STOP! If you don’t stop you will be strong. Take your weakness to God in prayer and get strength and grace everyday.
1 Peter 5:8. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.”

CAN CHILDREN OF GOD COHABIT?
Cohabitation is an arrangement where a man and woman who are not married live together in an intimate relationship, particularly an emotionally and/or sexually intimate one, on a long-term or permanent basis; living together in a sexual relationship without being married.

People cohabit for several reasons: some because of financial difficulty to do their wedding, so they decide to live together until they can gather enough money for wedding; some cohabit to test and try their relationship, and see if they can move forward to proper marriage; some cohabit because either parents do not support the relationship, so they decide to live together until both parents support. Others cohabit because of relocation, and so they stay together for the time other partner gets his or her apartment or till they marry. Some also cohabit, not because of marital relationship, but to assist the other opposite sex who needs accommodation.

The Bible truth is that, cohabitation is a sin wherever you are or whatever reasons you have, because:

IT'S SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Having sex with a partner before a legal and official wedding is a sin of sexual immorality of fornication, and no fornicator is a child of God or will enter heaven. 1 Corinthians 5:11, "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator.....with such an one no not to eat." Fornicators dishonor their bodies.

IT'S DISHONORING GOD'S NAME
"What if we live together and we don't have sex?" Even when there is no sex between both people, though rare, it is dishonoring God's name; they are defiling God's name before people. As children of God, we are not only to live with pure conscience before God, but also before men. "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offense toward God, and toward men." Acts 24:16. When you and an opposite sex are living together, you are passing wrong message to people and living in conscience full of offense towards people.

IT'S AN ACT OF DISORDER
God is not an Author of confusion, but He is an Author of an orderly marriage, where wedding takes place before marriage; having marriage before wedding is a serious act of disorder of high grade. We cannot disorder God's orderly arranged institution and procedure, and expect God's approval.

SO WHAT IF OUR PARENTS AND PASTORS ARE AWARE AND SUPPORT US? Even if your parents are aware and your pastors support, it does not overrule the truth that premarital sex is a sin. When your parents support your cohabitation, then you are not sinning against your parents, since they support, but you are only sinning against God; and when your pastors support you cohabiting, you are not sinning against your pastors then, but against your own soul. Fornication cannot turn to familiarity because of the support of parents or pastors, it only means the pastors are immoral and the parents are mis-supporting.

AND WHAT IF WE ALREADY HAVE CHILDREN? Having children do not make a marriage, what makes a marriage is a proper wedding between a man and a woman. Having children in cohabitation is simply bringing forth children on spoiled and sinful foundation.

If a man and woman are living together as married without proper wedding, people may see them as married couple, family and friends may address them as married, but to God, they are sinful partners living together.

There was a story of a woman cohabiting with a man in the Bible, what did Jesus tell her? "Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.” John 4:17, 18. The woman had had 5 husbands recognized by Jesus as "husbands" because they did what it took to be husbands, but the man she was living with at that moment was only recognized by Jesus as "the one", not as husband. No matter how many years you live together, no matter how many kids you have together, you are not recognized by God as husband and wife.

REPENT, RESTITUTE!
If you are living with an opposite sex partner or friend, you need to repent by realizing it to be sin, and asking God to forgive you. Genuine experience of salvation is very important. Then you do the right thing immediately - part away or do the right things. If you already have children and concluded to marry, you may not need to do elaborate wedding, just inform your parents, go to the government to legalize it and pay bride price as demanded by your culture immediately. You should do this without delay or detach from each other until this is done. It is better to separate, surrender your life to Jesus and pray for God's guidance, because the person may not even be God's will for you to marry, since you are now a child of God.

There is eternal condemnation for those who live in cohabitation and die in such condition, and if rapture takes place in such condition, there is no way such people can make the rapture to meet the Lord, because it is living in immorality, and no immoral person will enter heaven or make the rapture.

Romans 12:1, 2,
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

HIDDEN SECRET OF SUCCESS IN LIFE: LOOK AT THE TARGET NOT THE OBJECT
Have you ever seen a basketball player wanting to throw the ball into the basket and fixing his eyes on the ball? No, he will be looking at the basket, his target and not the ball, his object. The same with the footballer who wants to play a penalty shoot, his focus would be on the net as his target, looking steadily at the net which will eventually control his object the ball.

This same strategy was used by Jesus Christ during His earthly ministry, He was looking steadily at the target not the objects around. In the Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

“Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross” here we can see the target as the “the joy that was set before Him” and the object as the “cross” His target was the joy of salvation of many people of many nations, the everlasting joy in heaven for many souls, He was so much focused on that, He was not focusing, thinking or worrying about the terrible suffering of the shameful death on the cross.

When you focus on the target in your career, in your academy, in your business, in your marriage, in your ministry and mostly in your spiritual life as in your journey into heaven, you are sure of success.

So based on Hebrews 12:2, when you are focusing on the targets of what you want to achieve as end-result of any aspects of your life, you will be able to do the followings:
1. You will not easily give up on that mission or marriage
2. You will be able to endure the cross you are bearing or carrying in the process
3. You will be able to despise the present shame and suffering
4. You will eventually be set at the throne of success.

You see, Jesus set His focus on the target and at the end He was set at the right hand of the throne of God. You know what it means? If you set your mind and focus on the right thing, you will surely be set at the right hand of the throne of success at the end. If you set your mind on the right thing in your spiritual life and ministry, you will definitely be set at the right hand of God in heaven.

The Bible is now admonishing us to look unto Jesus, look at His secret and strategy of success, how He set His focus on the target and not the objects, that we should do likewise. That is it! Simple secret but strong solution for success in life and in our journey to heaven.

God bless you beloved

SPIRITUAL DISTANCING

As a child of God, if you want to have a smooth, struggle-free walk and relationship with God, you must observe strict spiritual distancing because why many Christians are rising and falling, why many are confessing sins and committing the same sins is because of lack of adequate spiritual distancing. As Christians, without spiritual distancing we'll be struggling, not growing spiritually and easily fall into addicted sins.

What is Spiritual Distancing? It's separating yourself from the sinful immoral things, places and friendships or relationships after you give your life to Jesus - total separation from the pollution of the world; failure to do that leads to being infected, contaminated by various sinful habits you have repented and forsaken.

You see, when we gave our lives to Jesus Christ through genuine repentance and confession, He does not ask us to lock down ourselves from sin-infected world, He does not pray that we should be evacuated from the sin-infected world, but that God should keep us as we also keep spiritual distancing, " I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil." John 17:15.

We are not to be removed from the world after we are saved, we are not to run away or stop doing our daily activities - going to schools, going to work or doing business in the world; the only way to stay safe and sanctified in this sin polluted world is by observing daily Spiritual distancing. Separate yourself from worldly music, movies, magazine, materials that will not help your spiritual life. Separate yourself from places that will not enhance your walk with Jesus, and distant yourself from sinful friendship or ungodly relationship. Look unto Jesus always.

As nations are easing the lock down and giving guidelines to stay safe from coronavirus - social distancing, using face-mask and washings hands, more than that we must observe spiritual distancing, keep our mouth from ungodly or untruthful statements and always wash our hearts with the precious Blood of Jesus Christ.

Stay safe and sanctified, for the Lord is coming for a sanctified bride.

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." Psalm 1:1

Amen!

ENDURING TEMPTATION
Do do you know what it means to endure temptation? It is the same thing like enduring suffering or problem. When you are in financial needs, as student, as looking for job, as starting up a business, in mission field; you are enduring difficult time for a period of time till things change for better. You don't drop from school, you don't kill yourself or run away from what you are building. The same thing is applicable with enduring temptation. 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.

There is a period of time you must endure some temptations, that the temptations will last. The Bible says Jesus Christ was tempted for 40 days, nothing could stop the temptation until its period of 40 days expired. The same is applicable to all children of God in the journey to heaven. Temptations within or without, may not stop until its time expires.

It may be temptation within, sinful suggestions in form of thoughts, lustful suggestion, imaginations to commit sin, internal pressure of sin; it maybe sinful thoughts that repeatedly coming to your mind and the more you pray and resist it, the more it persists. What really matters is not to delete the thoughts, but you keep resisting and you DON'T YIELD. It will die a natural death when its time expires as long you don't give in.

Persisted sinful thoughts, notions and imaginations are temptations within, it is not because you are not saved, but because Satan is after your salvation. You don't need to trouble yourself why such thoughts persist, you only need to keep resisting them in prayer by casting them down from your mind. "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" 2 Corinthians 10:5. You can read from verse 3.

It may also be external temptations, from people or situations around, to yield to sinful demands or indulgences. There are some situations where you may need to run away or walk away from the situation causing the temptation. But some times, just need to endure the temptation. That is where enduring temptations comes in. The Bible says, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation"

To endure temptations, either internally or externally, is to be constantly faced with such imaginations, suggestions, pressures, urge, demands or even threats to yield or commit sin but without yielding or giving in for it.

Now, here is the truth, this pressure or temptation for the particular sin maybe coming every day, it may be apportioned for few months, and no matter how much you pray, the thought or pressure may not stop. What you need to be praying for daily is grace and the Blood of Jesus to purify your heart, and as long you don’t give in, it will soon fade away and you overcome. That is the truth about temptation or even addicted sins.

After enduring the temptation, the Bible now says, "..for when he has been approved" It means when we repeatedly refuse, reject the temptation to the end, then we will receive the blessing of the blessedness of enduring temptations.

"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.

We receive the grace and strength to endure temptations to the end in Jesus name. Amen

YES! THERE IS A PLACE CALLED HELL!
Caspar Peucer, a famous fourteenth century astronomer and physician, who also researched and documented the volcanoe eruptions at Heklafell wrote some very frightening information in his research findings. Peucer, claims (as others) that "fearful howlings, weeping and gnashing of teeth" could be heard "for many miles. . ." as these volcanoes erupted: "Out of the bottomless abyss of Heklafell, or rather out of Hell itself, rise melancholy cries and loud wailings, so that these can be heard for many miles around . . . there may be heard in the mountain fearful howlings, weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Haraldur Sigurdsson, Melting the Earth, The History of Ideas on Volcanic Eruptions, p. 73)

And Caspar Peucer is not alone. There are others who believe they have heard "cries and screaming" coming from volcanoes. Most have tried to ignore the obvious. Some simply explain the "sounds of hell" to some rational meaning. But they are there. . ."The fearsome noises that issued from some of their volcanoes were certainly thought to be the screams of tormented souls in the fires of hell below". (Haraldur Sigurdsson, Melting the Earth, The History of Ideas on Volcanic Eruptions, p. 73)
Inside this earth, this very moment, there are millions of lost, tormented souls — burning, weeping, wailing — without any hope whatsoever!

In Mark 9:46, Jesus Christ says about hell: "Where THEIR WORM dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

Jesus said explicitly — THEIR worm — not a worm, or the worm — but THEIR worm. The Bible teaches that Christians will one day have a body like the Lord Jesus Christ. Scientists recently discovered cracks on the ocean floor where fire was leaking out. Do you know what they found around these fire-breathing vents in the crust? Eight-foot long worms, found no other place in the world! The book, The Deep Sea, by Joseph Wallace (p.39), reads, "Perhaps the strangest of ocean creatures recently discovered are Riftia, the giant tube WORMS. Measuring up to 8 feet in length, the worms are ONLY FOUND NEAR DEEP SEA VENTS."

And Jesus Christ said, "Where THEIR WORM dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
National Geographic magazine truthfully titled their story on Volcanoes "Going To Hell". When PBS did a series on The Savage Earth, one episode was titled "Hell's Crust: Our Everchanging Planet". Everything we know. Everything we observe. Echoes the truth of a place called hell.

Nature magazine recently discovered (July 2002) what the Bible knew over 3,000 years ago. Inside this earth is "fire and brimstone": "Volcanoes may be more like hell than anyone realized. Eruptions disgorge streams of molten sulphur, the brimstone of evangelical preachers, which burns up before it can be preserved for posterity, new research in the journal Geology shows". (Nature, Science Update, July 22, 2002)

In Numbers 16, the Bible gives the account of people falling into hell alive! "And THE EARTH OPENED HER MOUTH, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive INTO THE PIT, and the EARTH CLOSED UPON THEM:" Numbers 16:32-33

Multitude are heading to this eternal damnation called hell, will you want to be among them? There is nothing in this world that worth going to hell for. Everything in this world will pass away but eternity is forever. Now, you need to surrender all to Jesus and start a new life in Him.

DON'T GO TO HELL
Several years ago a book was published titled Beyond Death's Door by Dr Maurice Rawlings. Dr Rawlings, a specialist in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease, resuscitated many people who had been clinically dead. Dr Rawlings, a devout atheist, "considered all religion "hocus-pocus" and death nothing more than a painless extinction". But something happened in 1977 that brought a dramatic change in the life of Dr Rawlings! He was resuscitating a man, terrified and screaming — descending down into the flames of hell:

"Each time he regained heartbeat and respiration, the patient screamed, "I am in hell!" He was terrified and pleaded with me to help him. I was scared to death. . . Then I noticed a genuinely alarmed look on his face. He had a terrified look worse than the expression seen in death! This patient had a grotesque grimace expressing sheer horror! His pupils were dilated, and he was perspiring and trembling — he looked as if his hair was "on end."

Then still another strange thing happened. He said, "Don't you understand? I am in hell. . . Don't let me go back to hell!" . . .the man was serious, and it finally occurred to me that he was indeed in trouble. He was in a panic like I had never seen before." (Maurice Rawlings, Beyond Death's Door,(Thomas Nelson Inc., 1979) p. 3).

Dr Rawlings said, no one, who could have heard his screams and saw the look of terror on his face could doubt for a single minute that he was actually in a place called hell!

Millions of careless souls are rushing to hell daily, eternity of damnation, don't be among them. Surrender to Jesus and live your life to please Him before it gets too late.

CORONA TIME? CONFESSION TIME!
One of the good thing that comes from this corona virus period is the opportunity it poses for necessary, delayed confession. Confession here in form of restitution of what you have been hiding from your wife, your husband, your parents, your office, your school, your church, your partner, your employer or employee; something wrong you did and you are covering it, hiding it which you don’t want the necessary people in your life to know, what you OUGHT to have made them know about your past, yet you don’t have rest of mind about it, you are worried about it, you know what? God has specially designed this corona virus period for you to make the confession and put the devil to open shame.

Many people believe, and yes it is true, that this corona virus period is close to the end time, and it may lead to the rapture of the saints. Now, let me ask, how you meet the Lord or face the rapture with that thing you are hiding and covering and you have refused to confessed? How will you make the rapture in such a situation?

Now, it may be that because you have been busy, now everyone has a break, so this is the best and maybe last chance for you to make the confession.

You are afraid of how the person or people will react, you know what? This is a sober period, everyone is sober, people are more ready to forgive this period than ever, because many are seeking for God’s mercy now. So this is the best time for you to confess.

Some people say you don’t need to confess to anyone but God, if it is so, then why are you hiding it, why are you not have rest of mind about it? Why are you afraid of letting the person or people you ought to confess to know about the matter? If God has forgiven you and no need to confess to your spouse, your church, pastor, company, school, etc. then why are you afraid if they should know? Why is your conscience disturbing you still?

The wrong and deceptive notion that you confess to God alone and Him will not help you when you have the word of God clearly written that “Confess your trespasses to one another” James 5:16

Beloved, it will be very very woeful for you to miss the rapture because of unsettled, unconfessed restitution even after you have the free corona time. Do not regret when it is too late.

“Confess your trespasses to one another” James 5:16

God bless you.

STAYING AT HOME IS NOT SAFE ENOUGH!
I heard some people saying that Government should mandate people to stay at home in Nigeria during this Corona virus. And I say that is not just safe. You know why?

Staying at home without food supplies will cause more deaths by starvation than corona virus. In Western world where they stay at home, their government provides money and means of food supplies, here in Africa we don't have either. Many can't afford money to buy food for themselves and families for 3 days let alone buying food for 2 weeks or 30 days. Most people go out everyday to work or sell their petty markets to get daily food for themselves while coming home. So who will give majority of those people money to store food at home for weeks? Even if governments should give people money, another stark truth is that we don't have effective logistic or delivery systems to deliver food to 200 million. Some may wait for 2 weeks before they will get their food supplies, maybe after some are starved to death.

My company uses delivery services to get our products to customers and I know what it takes before some get their orders after payment, even by DHL. There are some local governments without a single courier or delivery company office. With bad road, and few airports, how will some get food supplies within 3 days? Even with long time planning and enough money allocated to INEC, they still have Logistic delay and no arrival of voting materials in some locations.

So if government should shut down the nation and order every one to stay at home, more casualties will emerge from starvation than corona virus.

And when they say stay at home, but you send your maid to market, is that not same exposure to the virus?

If Corona virus is spreading as it is said in western countries, what we need urgently is repentance and turning back to God. Those developed nations who are looking for alternatives aside God will still find themselves at zero point.

God is using this situation to call our attention to Him, the only source of Life. There is no better alternative.

You must accept Jesus as your Lord, Savior, Helper, Healer and Protector; you must rededicate your life to Jesus as a person, and stop deceiving yourself with church activities or church position, thank God no much church activities now. We must pray and watch for the coming of the King of kings and trust in Him to secure us and see us through this moment. And if rapture takes place during this period, we are rest assured of making with Jesus and the rest of the world's situation is none of our problem.

Staying safe is not enough, you must be saved in Christ and stand in Him while all others are falling.

BIBLE SYSTEM OF GIVING - Part 2
"So let each one give as he purposes in his heart" 2 Corinthians 9:7

(3) PERSONAL: Giving must be personal!
Giving must be personal not general or by comparison. If you are truly a child of God and the Spirit of God is in you, if any minister comes to you and says God says you must give something, that is not wrong; but you as a child of God whose heart the Spirit of God dwells, you must also have personal conviction and confirmation from God. But everything is wrong when a minister of God says you should just take what he says and you praying about it is an act of unbelief. The point is that many people who were scammed by fraudsters were victims because of love of inordinate gains and covetousness; so also many who are giving, sowing in the churches today are not doing so because of their personal love for God but because of the promised doubled blessings by the ministers and their churches. And when you hear testimonies of blessing as a result of unbiblical giving, you don't know that majority of such testimonies are also gotten in un-biblical manners and means, which will not be included in the testimonies.

Acceptable giving to God's work or God's people must be personal. The fact that everybody is giving in a church does not implies you must give, giving is personal; and the fact that nobody gives does not mean you must not give. The fact that somebody gives big amount does not means you must likewise give, it is personal and you have the right to make your personal decision on when to give, where and who to give, how to give and the amount to give by your personal conviction. "So let each one give as he purposes in his heart." not as he is persuaded, not as he is commanded or impressed.

(4) BY NEED: Giving is by the need, not by the position!
This is the Bible truth you might not have heard before and you may never hear in your church.

(i) Bible does not say we should give to somebody because he is a pastor or minister of God, except if he or she has genuine need. The common notion that giving to men of God, even if they don't have genuine needs, will bring blessing to your life is false and extra biblical phenomenon. Giving to a man who is rich without a genuine, important or basic need will only bring eternal curse into your life. Proverbs 22:16, "He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty." Giving to a rich pastor or person only brings a rich curse; the poverty here does not necessarily means financial, but spiritual poverty and ignorance.

God never commanded people to give to somebody simply because he is a minister of God without genuine need; Jesus Christ never instructed disciples to give to people because of their spiritual positions or because they are apostles. Elijah or other prophets never asked people to give to them simply because they were prophets of Most High God when they were not in genuine or basic needs. The Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ never preached that giving to them because they were apostles of God would bring blessing to you. So where did we get the teaching of "sowing into vital ground"? Where do our bishops, G.Os and other preachers of today get their messages from?

The teaching that sowing into the lives of big bishops, General overseers or senior pastors will attract you blessing is anti-biblical. If the G.O or Senior pastor does not have basic need of food like Elijah, if he is not in need of accommodation like Elisha, and if he is not in need of basic materials or basic amenities like Apostle Paul, then your giving to him is baseless, useless and immaterial to God.

A pastor or bishop who has millions of dollars or his national currency laying fallow in his bank account, and you are adding to his money is simply a kingdom waste; a pastor or bishop who has a car and another for his wife, and you go to buy another car for him while nothing is wrong with the two cars he and his wife have, such giving is simply a spiritual ignorance and craving for shortcut blessing. A pastor or Bishop that has accommodation where he lives and you build or buy another house for him is a waste to the kingdom of God. When you ignore brethren in your local church, family members who have basic needs, singles who are trusting God to marry but no finance, unemployed brothers and sisters who need incentive to start something, missionaries in remove villages who need just little amount to reach people with the gospel, pastors in your village that just need basic amenities to sustain their ministries and home; when you ignore such people and you are sowing or partnership with a senior big pastor to maintain his luxurious amenities, to tour the world or to fuel his private jet, it simply means you are spiritually ignorant. Such sowing or partnership will only attract God's judgment. Do you know that one can give and have problem as a result of that giving when it is given in un-biblical way?

When you ignore people with genuine needs, with basic needs and you go ahead to give people with social needs or with comfort needs, it means you are either looking for human favor or you are looking for shortcut blessing of prophetic declaration from such big pastors. But the mistake here is that the whole popular and big ministers of the world can pray for you, they can make total prophetic declaration on you but they cannot answer the prayers by themselves, only God can answer prayer. God does not answer prayer by big names of a pastor or bishop but by the name of Jesus and based on our heart motives. Such senior pastors may psych you with different testimonies or prophecies, but you will never find a backing from the Bible.

KINGDOM WASTE
A pastor or bishop who has millions of dollars or his national currency laying fallow in his bank account, and you are adding to his money is simply a kingdom waste; a pastor or bishop who has a car and another for his wife, and you go to buy another car for him while nothing is wrong with the two cars he and his wife have, such giving is simply a spiritual ignorance and craving for shortcut blessing. A pastor or Bishop that has accommodation where he lives and you build or buy another house for him is a waste to the kingdom of God.

Such sowing or partnership will only attract God's judgment. Do you know that one can give and have problem as a result of that giving when it is given in un-biblical way?

CORONA VIRUS MUST END
I was praying few days ago that God should reveal secret and cure for this corona virus from His Word in the Bible, then I read in Psalm 69:21, "They also gave me gall for my food,
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink." I prayed and searched about vinegar, and I am convinced that Apple Cider vinegar, honey with hot water may completely cure coronavirus. Let's try and test it, nothing wrong in trying.

I have Apple cider Vinegar at home, I have used it when I had sore throat, like about 2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, 4 or 5 teaspoon of honey and a glass of hot water. So if Corona virus start from throat by coughing, then God can use this to cure it.

God's wisdom is foolishness to the wisdom of men. But for every pestilence there is a biblical cure and solution. I declare healing in the land in Jesus name. AMEN.
