Religion / Corona Virus Must End by FreshGreen: 6:05am On Mar 20, 2020
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.
Religion / The Bible Teaching On Giving by FreshGreen: 3:19am On Mar 17, 2020
THE BIBLE TEACHING ON GIVING
(How to give, who to give, where to give and when to give)

2 Corinthians 9:7, "So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver."

The biblical standards and principles of giving, either in giving to God's work or to people, include how to give and who to give as children of God. Giving must be willingly, freely and personal! Let's look at them one after the other:

(1) WILLINGLY: Giving must be willingly!
"Take from among you an offering to the Lord. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as an offering to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze...Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service, and for the holy garments." Exodus 35:5,21

In giving to the work of God, to the people of God or offering in the name of God, it must be willingly, that is, it must be your own willful giving, not a matter of "give or you have problem", "give or no blessing of God". God does not accept anything from us without our willful interest; though He gave us everything we own or have, yet, He doesn't force us or compel us to give Him anything back. God created us as free moral agents to make our own choices. From Genesis to Revelation, anywhere in the Bible where people were asked to give for God's work, you will not see any where people were compelled verbally or prophetically forced to give for God's work.

In many churches system today, when it's time to give for God's works, a minister would come out and begin to preach the message of "Give or miss everything", "Give or have problem" in the name of motivating people of God to give, which is not biblical and not necessary. When people are told about needs for God's works, for church projects as it may be the standard of the Bible is that people should be allowed to willingly make their choices to give or not, people should be given the chance to make up their minds on the amount to give as the Lord leads them. The system of persuading people to give and give big during the period of offering is extra-biblical system.

What makes an offering or giving acceptable and reward-able by God is willingness, not the amount you are persuaded or prophetically forced to give by the so-called motivating messages. The willing mind is what matters not what you give simply because you don't want to disappoint your pastor or you don't want to be embarrassed for not giving. In our churches today, we are practicing several unbiblical means of collecting offerings. Some churches even go to the level of calling names of their church members if people are not willing to give or come out to pledge; they call names of the people in the church and tell them they must give. That has turned the giving to compulsion, such is unbiblical and unacceptable.

Some pastors say they can compulsory it for you to give because they want you to be blessed. That is wrong and ungodly. God desires and wants us to be blessed more than any man or minister, the great desire of God for His children is to enjoy His full blessings, including financial blessing; God says giving brings His blessing BUT He does not force us to give. Much as God want us to give and be blessed, He only wants us to give willingly.

2 Chronicles 29:31:

"Then Hezekiah answered and said, “Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, come near, and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the Lord.” So the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings."

Using the name of God to enforce people to give unto God is ungodly and unbiblical, God never directed His servants anywhere in the Bible to push or force people to give for His work in the name of loving to bless them.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 8:12, " For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have." It means your willing mind is the basis for your giving to be acceptable by God. The first thing is your willing mind, then your willing amount, no matter how little or how big. If you willingly give $2 for offering, it is acceptable than when you give $2000 by the will of your pastor or any minister.

So, if you want your giving to God's work or anyone to be acceptable and rewarded by God, don't allow any preacher to push you to give against your willing amount through their "so called" motivating speeches, and don't let anyone spoil your mind by despising your little amount. Your offering can be accepted and appreciated by a pastor and not accepted by God and it can be honoured by God and at the same time despised by men.

(2) FREEWILL: Giving must be freely. In giving to the cause of God or to people, it must come from your free mind. Ezra 2:68, “Some of the heads of the fathers’ houses, when they came to the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God, to erect it in its place"

Anything we give to God's work or to people must be from our free minds and free decisions. Anything you give to your church's project or to interdenominational ministries without your own free will is like a religious duress and not acceptable by God. When it comes to giving to God's works in our churches and ministries, should we not look into the Bible and check how the people of God gave to God's work or we should just ignore biblical examples of giving and receiving, and be presumptuous?

Freewill system is not the type of system of many churches today where specific amounts are dictated to people to contribute without allowing them to freely make their decision by themselves. The system of "dictating" or "sharing" specific amount for people to contribute in the name of God's work is non-biblical and ungodly. No place in the Bible where offerings were collected or given by sharing or dictating system, it is more or less forcing people and indicating that people of God cannot give less than the exact amount, and that is out of their freewill.

Some tactics against Freewill Giving
(i) Psychological Force: This is commonly used by many churches today. It's "Offering Call" just as Altar Calls are made. The minister calls several amounts of money from the higher amount to the lowest amount, and asking people to raise their hands or come to the altar as he calls each amount. In a local church where almost everybody knows one another, you may be forced to go out when a particular amount is called, the amount that will fit your level, the amount that will not embarrass you in the present of others, which will not disappoint your pastor also; even if that amount is not freely from your willing mind. You may go out to give or pledge to give certain amount to be acceptable by your pastor and fellow people in the church, but the bad news is that it’s not acceptable by God.

2 Corinthians 9:5, "Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation."

From this Bible verse, we see "which you had previously promised" before the arrival of Paul's ministers, not after the arrival of any ministers, not after the motivating speeches of any minister.

(ii) Spiritual Force: This is another anti-biblical means of forcing people to give against their freewill. The minister may say God told him that everybody must give all the money they have with them, he can also personalize it to an individual by saying "God says you must give everything you have to God." People use God's name to indirectly force you to give while God Himself does not force people to give to His works.

Offering or giving is acceptable when it is freewill and that is biblical. Psalm 54:6, "I will freely sacrifice to You" If you care for your offering or giving to be acceptable and rewardable by God, it must be free from psychological or spiritual force, it must be freewill offering. "And whereas you are to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counsellors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem." Ezra 7:15

(3) PERSONAL: Giving must be personal!
"So let each one give as he purposes in his heart" 2 Corinthians 9:7
.....this will continue tomorrow. We continue this teaching tomorrow on giving to God’s work and ministers of God, and those who are qualified to receive and who are qualified to give offering. You can follow the teaching on our Facebook page, profile or groups.

Religion / How Pastors Become Super Rich by FreshGreen: 11:05am On Mar 11, 2020
HOW PASTORS BECOME SUPER RICH
This generation is witnessing highest numbers of multi-billionaires and multi-millionaires among the ministers of God than ever before. Since the beginning of Christianity from Jesus Christ to the Apostles to our contemporary men of God such as John Wesley, Martin Luther, D l Moody, etc. there have never been this type of super-rich, luxurious and extravagant ministers of the gospel as we have now.

How did they get their riches? For example, Nigeria has more rich ministers of God in the world among the top 10 richest ministers, whereas Nigeria has one of the highest numbers of people living below poverty level in the world, and one of corrupt countries in the top 10 most corrupt countries.

From America to Africa to Asia we see super rich ministers, how did they get their riches? Does God send angels to bring cash for them from heaven? NO. Were they such super rich before they started the ministry? NO! They claim they are living above world economy, and that their finance source can never dry. And many wonder, where are they getting their multiple finance that make them super rich, even richer than the people they pastor and even the corrupt politicians? How do they manage to live such luxurious and extravagant lifestyle which our governors can’t afford?

The secret of their riches in the Bible, it is a foretold warning of the secret of these super-rich ministers. Read it in the Book of 2 Peter 2:3, “By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.”

Their Secret
The secret of all our super-rich gospel ministers all over the world is deceptive words – deceiving their followers with deceptive words and their followers in return donate their wealth.

How could they successfully gather wealth from several thousands of their followers and become super-rich, are their followers such gullible? NO, their followers are not gullible but covetous. On the part of the rich ministers are deceptive words, according to the Bible, and on the part of the followers is covetousness. The Bible says, by covetousness these so called ministers of God will exploit you. You know what it means? These so called ministers of gospel have deceptive words and their followers have covetous heart, now when deceptive words meets covetous heart, there will always be exploitation. It is a simple chemistry – when deceptive words meet a covetous heart there will be exploitation, and that is exactly what the Bible says. 2 Peter 2:3.

The multi-millionaire preachers in America, in Africa, in Europe, in Asia are successfully exploiting their followers with their deceptive words because those Christian followers have covetous hearts. Here is how it happens:

The super-rich preachers use deceptive words of prophetic declaration of products without productivity, and their followers give them prophetic offering. Now, how can there be products without productivity, simply by raising up your hands or by giving all the money in your account to the prophet? It is because the followers are covetous; they want the products in a cheap way without productivity.

The super-rich preachers preach prosperity of God without purity of life to please God. When the Bible says we should seek first the kingdom of God and its righteous living, the super-rich preachers ignore purity, holiness of life and preach prosperity. The followers follow because they are covetous of a cheap, sweet gospel.

The prosperity preachers preach peace of God without pleasing God. They preach crown without cross, they preach faith without faithfulness, they preach resting in the Lord without restitution, they preach forgiveness of God without forsaking sins, they preach confession without repentance, they preach wonders of God without watchfulness in Him, they preach second touch of God’s supernatural blessing without preaching the second coming of Jesus; they preach open heaven of God’s blessing without the open heaven of God’s judgment.

These super-rich pastors promise heaven abounding for their followers without holiness of life, whereas it is written clearly in the Bible that without holiness no man shall see the Lord, Heb. 12:14, it is because the followers have covetous hearts for sweat free gospel.

They deceive you with deceptive words for your cheap money because you have covetous heart for cheap gospel, for broad road.

I heard someone talking of his bishop, he said in around 1985, God told the bishop in America that, “My son, go to Nigeria and deliver my people from poverty and make them rich.” But 30 years after, the bishop who had little and maybe one or two cars then, now has privates jets and many things, and Nigeria whom he came to deliver from poverty is getting poorer, more unemployment, more poverty, lack of primary healthcare, more crimes, and education is more expensive. Now who has made who rich? Is it the bishop who has made Nigeria rich or covetous followers of Nigerians who have made the bishop rich? The Bible says by covetousness these so called ministers of God will exploit you.

I was in a church some years ago and the pastor announced that their daddy G.O was coming to Abuja for special Holy Ghost service and anyone who wanted to see daddy G.O in a special meeting should collect invitation card of N15000. The same daddy G.O who told his followers that they should redeem their firstborn children with money to avoid firstborn curse. These are the same super-rich ministers who collect first fruit offerings, prophetic offering into their personal accounts. They exploit you with deceptive words because you too have a covetous heart.

The Bible says the judgment of God is coming of all these super-rich, luxurious, prosperity preachers, and motivational speakers. “for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.” 2 Peter 2:3

All the prosperity preachers, super-rich pastors, motivational speakers are working for Satan and the judgment of God is waiting for them, including those who follow them and donate for their false ministries.

“But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, 13 and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime.

They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices,and are accursed children. 15 They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.” 2 Peter 2:12-15.

Do not be among the deceived; do not wait till after rapture before you realize you are being deceived. Desire genuine salvation and choose the narrow path that leads to heaven.

Religion / Reality Of Christians And Business' Success by FreshGreen: 1:41pm On Mar 07, 2020
REALITY OF CHRISTIANS AND BUSINESS' SUCCESS
(Please read this)
With my few years in business as a child of God, I can categorically tell you this that If you are a true child of God doing business, you believe in holiness, righteousness and integrity and yet you don't know how to hear from God, you don't know and follow the daily leading of the Holy Spirit in your day to day activities of your business or career, IT IS NOT AND NEVER POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO PROSPER OR SUCCEED.

Listen, this world is corrupt and this generation is super corrupt and evil, and so many Christians who claim to be successful in business are compromising, compromisers from Deeper Life, Redeemed and others. You see, business is a different world with sinful systems especially if you aim to the top. You will get to a point that you must choose to let go of your salvation or the business. And unfortunately many, so many including the believers of holiness, are letting go of their Bible standard because of earthly success and money.

In the business world, you don't want to lie, you don't want to bribe, you don't want to forge, you don't want to join occult group, you don't want to compromise holiness and you are in business, yet you don't know how to listen to the voice of God, you don't know how to discern the leading of Holy Spirit in your business, then it is not possible for you to prosper if you are in this generation.

This reality was so obvious many years before that believers thought children of God could not prosper in this sinful world; they thought how would that christian survive the sinful and corrupt business atmosphere? But that is NOT the best conclusion, and the solution is not for a child of God not to aim to prosper or to go into high level business. God want to bless His children, to prosper them even like Abraham in this generation for the glory of God and blessing of His kingdom.

And compromising with the world, joining them in evil neither the solution, that is earthly and ETERNAL destructive.

The secret of prosperity and success in business as holiness believing Christians is ABILITY TO KNOW THE DAILY LEADING OF HOLY SPIRIT and FOLLOW IT.

The Bible says,
"Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,”
Whenever you turn to the right hand
Or whenever you turn to the left." Isaiah 30:21

That is the secret and sure of way of success in business for every child of God - divine leading of Holy Spirit.

Anyone who claims to be a child of God can does not know how to receive God's leading, how to know God's leading and how to discover it, that christian is the most miserable.

Our primary focus as children of God is not how to speak in tongues or prophesy but to hear from our loving heavenly Father, His leading and guidance in this wilderness world.

God bless you

Religion / D A V I D & S A U L by FreshGreen: 12:58pm On Mar 04, 2020
D A V I D & S A U L
Both Saul and David were anointed by God as the kings of Israel, both of them conquered several battles, and both of them committed sins. But the difference is that, Saul was more concerned about his personal ego than his personal relationship with God while David was primarily concerned about his relationship with God than his personal ego.

King Saul regarded the respect of people mostly, but King David regarded his reconciliation with God more than anything else. When King Saul committed a sin and God sent Prophet Samuel to rebuke him, king Saul realized he had sin but he was not ready to let go of his ego. "Then he (Saul) said, “I have sinned; yet honor me now, please, before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord your God.” 1 Samuel 15:30. But when David sinned and God sent Prophet Nathan to rebuke him, he humbled himself before God and man, and so he was pardoned. "So David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” 2 Samuel 12:13.

Some people do say that David committed sins but God forgave him because he knew how to praise God very well. That is a serious error and un-biblical conclusion. Such conclusion can mislead people, and it's misleading many people. 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! Praise and worship does not cover sin as many preachers are saying today, thanksgiving and sacrificial givings cannot get you the mercies of God as many modern preachers are claiming today. The only two things that 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."

Do you need the mercy of God like David? Do you want to be a precious child of God, a peculiar servant of God as David was? All you need is to humble yourself, open up, confess and discontinue in such sin.

Religion / A Solid Establishment by FreshGreen: 11:31pm On Mar 01, 2020
A SOLID ESTABLISHMENT
"In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;" Isaiah 54:14

Righteousness is a foundation that last forever, without righteousness nothing will last forever.

Are you establishing a business, without righteousness it can never be established, it is a matter of time.

Are you establishing a church, without righteousness, it can never be established.

Are you establishing a relationship or marriage? You need righteousness as a foundation.

Are you establishing a school or any organization, you need righteousness, because without righteousness it will never be established.

The Bible says, "In righteousness you shall be established" Isaiah 54:14.

Any establishment that involves sin, compromise, bribing, immorality, or any form of unrighteousness, it is a matter of time before it will crumble and fall by any tempest wind of the enemy.

If you, your marriage, ministry or business, are established on righteousness, you shall not be moved.

God bless you!

As a child of God, patience is one major key into the great promises of God, without patience, it is impossible to receive the promises of God. Because God is never in a rush, He is never late nor does He do anything to impress man. We must exercise patience before we can experience God's promises. When you are patient in waiting for the fulfillment of God's promise in your life, you will not be rushed into sin or irrational action; when you are patient with your God, you will not complain or compromise, and you will not worry about tomorrow.

WHY PATIENCE?
Why must we be patient before receiving the promises of God? Since God can do all things, why can't He just do everything for us at once without going through the stress of patience and the silence of waiting? God wants us to receive His promises through patience because of the following reasons:

1, Patience is an act of Faith. Without faith we cannot receive from God, and patience is an evidence of your faith in God’s promises. “that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:12.

2, Patience is trusting in God. When we patiently wait upon the Lord, it shows we truly trust in Him. Psalm 37:5,” Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.”

3, Patience brings peace. One of the benefits of waiting patiently upon God is the peace it brings. Nothing in this life can bring us peace of mind, but when we have patience in the Lord and with the Lord, we will have peace that passes human understanding. While others are troubled and running around, the peace of God will safeguard our minds. People who are patient with God will less worry about things of life and put their confidence in the Lord even in the presence of confusion and tough situation. Psalm 37:7, “Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.”

4, Patience helps us to grow in the Lord. When we exercise ourselves in patience with God and with men, we grow into perfection in the Lord. James 1:3, 4, “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.”

5, Patience is the fruit of the Spirit. One of the ways we must be fruitful in the Spirit is to live in patience in waiting for God’s promises in our lives and in working for God. Galatians 5:22, 23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” NASB

CO N C L U S I O N
Only through patience we can possess our promised land, patience helps us to remain in the will of God and to keep pursuing. Impatience makes it impossible to receive the blessed promises of God.

We should pray to be patient and practice to be patient while God is perfecting everything concerning us.

James 5:7-8, 10-11
"Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand."

"My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. 11 Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful."

Religion / Why Many Christians Will Miss The Rapture! by FreshGreen: 6:01pm On Feb 23, 2020
WHY MANY CHRISTIANS WILL MISS THE RAPTURE!
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Luke 13:24

Since Rapture will not happen twice, but once, wise Christians will do more to focus and strive to be counted worthy. Why will many miss the rapture even after they are born again and serving God? Here are 7 common reasons in which any of them can hold back a Born again Christian:

(1) UNDONE RESTITUTION Acts 24:16
After you are genuinely saved, there may be some wrongs of the past that need to be corrected in your present new life in Jesus. Restitution includes restoring things wrongly acquired, revealing lies and deceptions and reconciling with people we offended, and also forgiving with all our hearts people who offended us, no matter how terrible. Forgiveness from the heart is part of restitution and many Christians, ministers of God will miss rapture and heaven just because of un-forgiveness and bitterness. Matthew 6:14, 15.

(2) JUST A LITTLE SIN Galatians 5:9
Many will miss rapture and entrance to heaven not because they are not born again and serving God, not because they are committing serious sins, but just because of a little, besetting sin, just little but too heavy to hold people down from making rapture. When the Holy Spirit calls your attention to the little sin, you excuse yourself that it doesn’t matter, everybody is doing it or it is your own weakness since everybody has a weakness. It may be little anger, envy, jealousy, even in the work of God. Little, little lies, using people’s or your office’s materials for your personal purpose without taking permission. You think it doesn’t matter? It does. Let’s repent NOW. Common sins will commonly hinder common Christians and ministers back .

(3) LITTLE WORLDLINESS 1 John 2:16
Little worldliness will hinder so many Christians from making the rapture. This little worldliness does not matter to many Christians and churches today. The worldly music which you call normal, worldly movies, magazines (fashion, entertainment or pornography), TV programs inspired by Satan (American Idol, African Idols, Big Brother Africa, Dance shows, African magic, animated cartoon, etc. ) Worldly dress (wearing tops, blouses that show the trace of your breasts as a woman, tight, transparent or shot dress) Many Christian women are tapped by Satan with worldly dress unknowingly but they will know after the rapture. Those who have died have gotten to know already but too late.

(4) OVER CONFIDENCE 1 Corinthians 10:12
Over-confidence will hinder many believers from entering heaven. You see the shortcoming of others without seeing yours, without daily searching your life with the Word of God and prayer for forgiveness and daily sanctification. These category of people believe they can never make mistake after they are saved, they believe they are once sanctified and no need for daily prayer for cleansing and sanctification, they are bound in bountiful hypocrisy which is one of the most terrible sins- hypocrisy. Believing that you can’t make mistake after you are saved is a serious mistake. Tenderness and watchfulness serve better.

(5) UNCONFESSED SIN 1 Timothy 5:24
Unconfessed sin remains a secret sin. You did something wrong and you realize it and confessed to God but concealed it from people, you refuse to confess to necessary partners or people even after the Holy Spirit has ministered to you to expose it, you are listening to the wrong preachers and your wrong motive and defending yourself that you have confessed to God so that should settle it. This will block many ears from hearing the sound of the Trumpet of rapture. Please, you must confess to one another, James 5:16, as the case may be, why will you miss rapture just because of this little shortcoming?

(6) LITTLE COMPROMISE 1 Corinthians 5:6
Little compromise at workplace, in your business, to get contract, job or promotion; little compromise to get your documents and papers - being smart. Little compromise in examination hall, in marital relationship or in your tithes and offerings; these little, little, overlooked stuffs will hold and hinder many Believers and Ministers from making heaven. If you are careful, the compromise of your society, of your church and idolized Pastors will not infect and affect you.

(7) LACK OF LOVE 1 John 4:8
Do you think it’s possible to make heaven without love? And does your life shows the love of Christ? Please read 1 Corinthians 13:1-8. Most churches and Christians lack love. Love is kindness and expresses goodness to all men, especially brethren, it helps and shares. The syndrome of “sowing” into the lives of big pastors, the several church projects and personal projects have blinded many Christians from loving and helping people around them.

Purity without love is hypocrisy, love without purity is lust, but real purity means PURE LOVE. Christian life without love is hypocrisy.

Please, we should all search our lives with the light of God’s Word, let’s repent now and confess and correct everything as the Holy Spirit calls our attention. Irrespective of our spiritual attainments and positions, God is not a respecter of any man. As long you still see yourself as a little child in God’s hand, you will be humble and careful enough to look into your life. Let’s ask God to sanctify us, and let’s also be more watchful from now, be more vigilant and prayerful everyday as we ask for God’s grace and mercy to be counted worthy, we all need these, we are all striving and no man is supper man until we get to heaven. May God help us and see us through to the end in Jesus name.

Rapture will happen once and any time from now. If you want to rededicate your life to Jesus or need further counsel on any of these points, please feel free to contact the address below. That we are still alive now, is a great privilege, let’s make use of it NOW!

Religion / Rapture On My Mind by FreshGreen: 5:20am On Feb 17, 2020
RAPTURE ON MY MIND!
The multi-million dollar auditoriums which were built by Deeper Life Church, Dunamis, RCCG, Winners chapel, etc. will soon be used as Anti-Christ centers after the rapture. Then they would realized they have wasted resources for nothing, maybe for ego sake.

Now they don't care for the souls in or outside the church, no daily or monthly supports for their members, no free Bible distribution, no free Sunday School distribution (RCCG even collect Sunday School offering, you have to pay something for attending Sunday School), no free evangelism materials for members, some of the members have no money for their accommodation, some of their members are compromising and losing their salvation because of desperate needs and these churches have nothing to support their needy members with than to collect money from them.

Some of the Christians who backslide and fall back and compromise would not have done that if the church had lend a caring hands, if they had focused on building people instead of building auditoriums which they use once in a week or in a month.

After the rapture, Pastor Kumuyi, Pastor Adeboye, Pastor Eneche, and others who care more for building projects will realize that the multi-billion auditoriums they built is a waste to the kingdom of God.

The early church spent their resources to save souls and to sustain saved souls by supporting them both physically and spiritually, and they didn't care to build a single multi-million auditorium.

Let's be wise in this end time. Let's invest on what will bring value even after the rapture. Jesus is coming soon!

Religion / What A Fool? by FreshGreen: 9:41am On Feb 16, 2020
WHAT A FOOL
The money you are running after which is making you not to have time for your salvation, which is making you to compromise your faith, after the Rapture, you will not be able collect the money in the bank if you don’t collect the mark of the beast, if you keep the money in your house, you will not be able to spend it. The job that made you falsified your age, information or compromise your faith, after the rapture, you will not be able to do the job without collecting the mark of the beast.

While you are running inside the bush, you will not be able to drive that beautiful car or sleep in the beautiful house. The position you want to kill yourself for now, you will not be able to retain it except you bow and worship Satan. The makeup, ungodly dresses, and all others which you can’t do without now, you will not even remember them after you miss the rapture. Your popular prosperity preachers, these earthly focused prayer ministers, your Bishop, Daddy GO, Senior Pastor, motivational speakers who refuse to teach you genuine salvation, restitution and impeding rapture will be hiding their faces in shame. All their messages of breakthrough, divine establishment, divine success, open heaven of blessing, waves of glory, abundant blessings, prophetic utterances, anointing for higher level, 5 Sunday of anointing, 100 days of fasting and prayer – all these will be useless to you after the rapture.

And if you receive the mark of the beast, you will only have three and half years before eternal torments will begin and the great judgment Day that will usher you into eternal perdition where you will spend eternity with devil and his demon forever and ever and ever. What a fool the devil is making out of you now!

WHAT IF
You need not to miss the rapture; you need not to face the Great Tribulation. If you are not sure of your position if rapture should take place now, if you are not sure of your spiritual level, if you are not sure of your salvation and if you are not sure if you are still standing in faith, the best is to rededicate your life to Jesus Christ and start again now. You have nothing to lose by starting with God afresh or by rededicating your life to Jesus Christ anew; you will have many things to gain. All you need now is to realize all your sins, all together, not some, and ready to forsake all of them. Then ask God to forgive you and cleanse you. And you separate yourself from all those sinful works, ways, things, people, friendship, relationship, materials, etc. And you devote yourself to Jesus Christ.

If you would like to surrender your life to Jesus Christ or you want to rededicate your life to Jesus, all you need to do is to repent, confess your sins and forsake them as you accept Jesus Christ into your life, for more explanation on genuine salvation and rededication, please click on this link, read and pray as directedhttps://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-to-be-saved-and-start-a-new-life-in-jesus/270674586372252

Religion / Should Christians Celebrate Valentine? by FreshGreen: 10:26am On Feb 14, 2020
SHOULD CHRISTIANS CELEBRATE VALENTINE?
Valentine was said to be a priest near Rome in about the year 270 A.D, a time when the church was enduring great persecution. His ministry was to help the Christians to escape this persecution, and to provide them the sacraments, such as marriage, which was outlawed by the Roman Empire at that time. He was martyred about AD 269.

So, should children of God celebrate Valentine? And the answer is, for at least two reasons, it is wrong for Bible Christians or Bible church to celebrate Valentine. Here are the two reasons:

(1) It's Wrong To Separate A Day to Celebrate a Saint. There is no reason to argue if the man, Valentine, was a genuine child of God or minister of God, but it is wrong to create a day to specially celebrate a saint or a martyr. There were several martyrs in the Bible and in our contemporary world, so it is of no use creating a day to celebrate them, include martyr Valentine; they are being celebrated in heaven already. For no reason should Bible Christians create a special day to celebrate a martyr. Only Jesus Christ should be celebrated in a special manner. Also, there are many "so called" saints who are really demons, and some of these names called with saints were demonic.

(2) It Doesn't Glory God, So it's Ungodly. Everything about Valentine day is outside Christian activity, unlike Christmas which involves Christian activities and draws us to God, Valentine day has nothing to do with the history of Christianity in the Bible. Valentine day is a general celebration outside Christianity. If Valentine is about sacrifice of love, you don't need to wait till February 14th before you do that. If it is showing or expressing love to loved ones, you don't need a day for that, if it is giving, no need to wait till February 14th before you do that. You don't need to wait till February 14th before you take your spouse out. In reality, Valentine is a celebration of lust, inspired by satanic spirit. There is no side of Valentine celebration that is attached to the Bible, there is no biblical backup for the celebration of Valentine.

If you are a child of God, love is part of you because God is love; if you are a genuine child of God, love is pure and not lust; you should celebrate with your spouse, in a special way at least every weekend. When the world is celebrating lust, you can spend your time to do something better; when the people of the world are waiting for February 14th before they can experience or express special love with their partners or people, you should do that every time, as much as possible.

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."

If you have fallen into any temptation, humble yourself and repent, confess and open up and do the necessary restitution. Trust God and pray to HIM.

Religion / Worldly Movies & Programs by FreshGreen: 7:10pm On Feb 05, 2020
WORLDLY MOVIES & PROGRAMS
Psalm 106:39, "Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds."

Another major means Satan is secretly defiling many believers after they are saved are worldly movies and TV programs. What you watch on TV has a serious impart on your heart and life, and in a long run, determines your eternity. If you expose yourself to watch ungodly things on TV, you will get your soul defiled and destroyed at last. Do you wonder why many Christians do rise and fall? Why many repeatedly get weak and drained in their Christian lives? Do you wonder why your spiritual life has not been moving forward as it is supposed? Maybe you should check what you have been watching on TV. When a child of God is watching worldly movies or TV shows, such things do not only defile his soul, but they also drain his spiritual strength and make him dry in the spirit.

Take note how you feel in your spirit after watching those movies, wrestling or those TV shows - do you feel refreshed in your spirit or empty? They drain spiritual strength and make you dry in your prayer life and Bible reading. Many also have been possessed, polluted and perverted through such demonic movies and TV programs. Many have been possessed with the spirit of lust and immorality, many souls have been polluted and many have been experiencing nightmare as a result of watching worldly movies.

Many Christians are too addicted to such worldly movies that they can't do without them. But if you really want to be serious with your spiritual life, if you want to get rid of hidden defilement and move better in your walk with God, you must do away with these:

(1) DEFILING MOVIES: Any movies or films that do not glorify God's name, in short, about 95% of Non-Christian movies. All season movies, all types of movies shown on Africa magic, all Nigerian Nollywood movies, most Hollywood movies. There are some movies that are not Christian movies but decent which a child of God can watch, maybe like 10% of Hollywood movies, about history and documentary; but you must be prayerful and watchful before you watch any of such movies. Any movie that shows nude or promotes ungodly ideology should be avoided. If you are watching a movie which is supposedly to be good type, and you see immoral or ungodly ideology along, you must immediately stop watching and destroy the disk or change the channel as the case may be, even if it claims to be a Christian types.

A serious minded Christian should not get involve in ANY season films, even if they are decent. How will you spend hours watching a movie while you should pray, read your Bible and evangelize in season and out of season? No matter how decent and educative a documentary or movie is, decent time should be spent on them. If you are a heavenly minded Christian, you should not stay watching movies or TV more than the time you spend in your personal prayer, that should be a yardstick for your time management in front of TV. It is a sin to stay in front of TV for whatever reason if you have not fully observed your personal devotion of Bible reading and prayer for that day.

Every Nigerian Nollywood movies and African magic movies, either English or local language, should be avoided, they have nothing to add to your life but to defile you.

(2) WRESTLING: As a regenerated child of God, can you defend your reason for watching wrestling? Is it because you want to learn how to fight or you like watching people fighting? A serious minded Christian, who is keeping his heart pure, will not stay in front of TV to delight in people fighting. We should repent and detach ourselves from such activity.

(3) UNGODLY TV PROGRAMS: American Idol, Big brother Africa, MTN Project fame, Dance competition, Gulder Ultimate search, Entertainment show, etc are programs inspired by Satan to defile and destroy souls. The purpose of such program is to pollute youth and distract them from the things of God. If you have been involved in watching such programs or you are one of their fans, you need to repent and disassociate yourself from them, both on TV and on internet - facebook like, etc.

These are satanic secrets revealed, it may be bitter but better for the wise. It takes being wise to be warned in this end time. If you want to go far with God, you must go far from the world. There are edifying and better things you can use your TV, DVD Player and time for, it will be absolutely stupid to use your own belongings to ruin your soul and children. There are many Christian movies, Bible stories children of God and Christian family can watch which will edify them. You will get to a point in your Christian life that you will not want to spend your time on anything that will not edify you or others; it is then that your mind is fixed and set for heaven, without shaking.

God bless you as you obey. If you have any question or you need more enlightenment on this article, you can contact us.

Religion / KNOW YOUR BIBLE: FIRSTFRUT MONETARY OFFERING IS A SCAM! by FreshGreen: 9:26am On Jan 26, 2020
KNOW YOUR BIBLE: FIRSTFRUT MONETARY OFFERING IS A SCAM!

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

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

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

In the New Testament, first-fruits is no longer monetary offering but Christ became our Firstfruits, and then every person who first gives his life to Jesus in a family is the firstfruit of that family; people who first give their lives to Jesus in a particular community or country are the firstfruits of that location, and every first church in a particular community or country is the first-fruit of that place.

Romans 16:5, "Likewise greet the church that is in their house.Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who is the first-fruits of Achaia to Christ."

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

If your church or G. O is asking you to your first salary as a first fruit, know for sure that, that church ares for your money than your soul.

Jesus Christ never asked for firstfruits, Apostles never asked the church for firstfruits, even Apostle Paul in all the collections of offerings from churches never asked for firstfruits offering.

You must be a Bible believing Christian, not a church or daddy G.O believing Christian. In this end time, only Christians who search and stand solely on the Bible will not be scammed or strayed away.

God bless you!

Gideon Akande.
Religion / The Half Truth Of Erroneous Gospel by FreshGreen: 11:58am On Jan 22, 2020
THE HALF TRUTH OF ERRONEOUS GOSPEL
2 Timothy 3:5, "having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!"

Everybody likes truth, everyone want to be associated with truth, and so Satan is deceiving many with half-truth in the name of Truth. If we claim to know the truth of the Word of God, do we know half-truth or the whole truth? If we claim to be saying the truth, are we saying the whole truth or half-truth? Half-truth is more dangerous than no truth at all, but Satan is fooling many Christians and ministers of the church today. They have the elements of truth, but denying the power thereof. Read 2 Timothy 3:5

Half-truth is heresy, and everyone living in half-truth is living an erroneous life. That is the gospel many are carrying about today. Heresy means overemphasizing a part of truth and leaving the other part behind. Many and modern church of today are perfect illustration of heresy, they are overemphasizing some part of the scriptures that sooth them and leaving other parts behind. That is half-truth of heresy. Though they claim what they are preaching is from the Bible, they quote the Bible to back what they preach, but they are preaching heresy – uncompleted truth.

They emphasize on “NO CONDEMNATION” but they ignore the message of “NO CONTINUITY IN SIN” and many Christians are falling victim of this permissive heresy.

The complete truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ was demonstrated in John 8:11, when Jesus met the harlot woman and told her, “Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more” No condemnation of sinner, and no continuity of sin after meeting with Jesus. But the heresy of today will emphasize only on “no condemnation” they claim “God does not condemn us, God is merciful and loving, He does not condemn sinners” Yes that is true, but what about the later part of “go and sin no more” They ignore that, and that makes many to fall into heresy.

It is important for us to examine our lives, as Christians, are we part of the Christians living in or preaching half-truth of heresy in this end time? The modern church of today is perverted by Satan to give people false hope, to give people half-truth, to make Christians overemphasize sweet part of the scripture and omit sacrificing part; to make Christians emphasize on promises of the Bible and ignore purity of the Bible, to make many focus on prosperity of this passing world and forget the preparation for the coming of the new and everlasting world. Are you among the deceived Christians of half-truth of heresy or you are among the deceivers of heresy?

Half-truth of confession without repentance will lead to no genuine salvation. We hear message of salvation of today in many churches, from many preachers as “confess and be saved”. That people should just come, come and come, then, “ If you want to give your life to Jesus Christ and begin to enjoy the blessings, prosperity, deliverance and healing, all you need to do is to confess, say it after me ‘Jesus , I have come to you, I confess you as my Savior’ Now you are saved.” This process of confession without repentance will NEVER bring genuine salvation.

That is the reason you hear funny things happening among them, because they don’t have genuine experience of salvation that is the reason such Christians will continue in sin even after they have been ordained ministers, because the foundation is false and faulty.

How can you ask somebody to confess his sin without first telling him to repent? How can you say somebody is saved when the person does not understand what repentance is all about? Confession of sin without first repentance is half-truth that leads to heresy and hell.

Because the preachers who preach confession of sin without repentance do not understand genuine salvation themselves or they want multitude. Christians whose foundation is based on confessions of sin without genuine repentance will always find themselves committing the sins they have confessed. Repentance will make somebody to count the cost before coming to Christ, that you must not only realize your sin, but you must make up your mind to forsake them, that you have the cross of self-denying to bear after you come to Christ, that Christian life is not about prosperity, prophesying but righteousness, truth and joy in the Holy Spirit.

The half-truth of confession without repentance, of coming to Christ and continuing in sin at the same time is heresy of this end time, which every Christian who wants to make rapture must watch against. Confession of sins alone will not bring the mercy of God, but only those who repent, confess and forsake the sin they confess will experience unlimited mercy. Proverbs 28:13.

The Gracious Truth
John 1:14, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

The true Gospel of the Bible is full of grace and truth. The grace of God through Jesus Christ is no condemnation, that is the grace of the Bible – God’s favour, God’s power to live above sin and victorious over Satan. And the truth of the Gospel is to go and sin no more after we meet Jesus Christ.

Are you living your life in the light of the truth of the Gospel or half-truth of heresy? We must repent before it is too late and rededicate ourselves to the whole truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Genuine salvation of the Gospel is to repent, confess, forsake the confessed sins and follow Jesus in new life. Read 2 Corinthians 5:17

PERSONAL EXAMINATION- Please reflect on this teaching and pray to recommit your life to Jesus Christ, He is waiting for you.

Religion / Passing Through Problem? Calm Down by FreshGreen: 11:02am On Jan 20, 2020
PASSING THROUGH PROBLEM? CALM DOWN
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 your life, not complaining about the present condition which will soon pass away. Sometimes, I felt like, “God, why will you allow me passing through this tough time, it is getting too much for me.” But then God gave me this message, I have 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.
You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

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. Please click on this link and read on how to be genuinely saved and start new life in Jesus and pray as directed

Religion / Bringing Out The Best In Your Spouse by FreshGreen: 1:47pm On Jan 18, 2020
Bringing Out the Best in Your Spouse
-by James Ford

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

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

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

“Sister Davis, this is Pastor Ford.”

“Hello, Pastor.”

“How are you this fine Sunday evening?”

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

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

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

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

“Well, what is it, Pastor?”

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

“Yes, I know that it does.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Completing each other

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

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

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

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

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

Building each other up

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Religion / What Is Secret Sin? ....please Read This! by FreshGreen: 12:59pm On Jan 14, 2020
WHAT IS SECRET SIN? ....Please READ this!
"in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel." Romans 2:16

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Religion / Satan's Meeting Against God by FreshGreen: 8:45am On Jan 11, 2020
SATAN'S MEETING AGAINST GOD
(Read even if you're busy)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Religion / Don't Enter Into Debt By Faith by FreshGreen: 8:24am On Jan 07, 2020
DON'T ENTER INTO DEBT BY FAITH
We read different acts of faith in Hebrews 11, how people entered into God's promises by faith, but nobody entered into debt by faith. So beloved, do not involve in what you don't have financial capacity, what will not be easily convenient for you, don't enter into unnecessary debt by faith!

Let's take a step at a time as God provides for us and trust Him for better level as He provides.

This year, wisdom of God and humility demands in our standard of living, renting house, shops, office or other things; in our buying phones, cars or other things, in our children's schooling, travelling or buildings; in our starting or expanding business, in doing God's work and planning, we should do all according to our PRESENT capacity, without heading into unnecessary debt or over stressing ourselves; so that we will not have sleepless year or not being able or not having anything remaining to help or support others which is also very important.

DEBT IS A SIN. Romans 13:8

God bless you.
Religion / Master Keys 2020 by FreshGreen: 9:25am On Jan 05, 2020
MASTER KEYS FOR YEAR 2020
This is a new year, we need new help of God, new great things of God in our lives, families, ministries, businesses, careers and education. We need divine protection, we need healing of God, and trusting God for one or two things for this year. Some are trusting God to marry this year, some for one achievement or the other. All these are doors that need to open and the keys to open these doors in this year is what I want to share with you: 2 MASTER KEYS FOR YEAR 2020

FIRST MASTER KEY: SEEK TO PLEASE GOD FIRST
Our first priority this year, our first responsibility, our first ministerial activity this year is to please God first in all things. Our first and greatest spiritual weapon this year onward is not fasting and prayer, not speaking in tongues or quoting scriptures against forces of darkness, but this first and greatest spiritual weapon is PLEASING GOD in all things – with our ways of living, characters, how we relate with people, in truth, sincerity, righteousness, decency, in confessing to God and men, in opening up what we have been hiding all these while, in facing the restitution we have been postponing, in seeking to please God in all things FIRST and foremost.

Why are you seeking to please men before God? That must God this year! Why are you considering what people will say, how they will feel, if they will be happy with you before you please God? That is the reason you living to please God fully, that is the reason you still in sinful condition, that is the reason you have not opened about that matter or done the needed restitution?

Do you know that many of these people you seek to please that make you not to do the right things, not to please God, not to live holy life and serve God; if you die today, many of them will be too busy to attend your funeral burial let alone following you to the gate of heaven to face judgement? They will not be there for you when powers of darkness rise against you in your dream at night, so why do you care to please the world with your living, with your dressing, your ministry and not pleasing God who will always be there for you on earth and in eternity?

That must change this year onward, even today. Today is the day of your salvation and rededication and total pleasing God first and forever. Amen

1 Thessalonians 4:1, “Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God.”

SECOND MASTER KEY: SEEK THE WILL OF GOD FIRST
Do not do anything this year without seeking the will of God on that thing, no matter how small, without knowing God’s leading. Don’t be led by your own wisdom, no matter how smart, don’t be led by majority, by your pastor, your parent, your boss, your spouse, your friend, without knowing God’s direction.

You don’t want to suffer loss this year, you don’t want to miss God’s plan and blessing for you this year, then commit your ways to God’s hand and let Him lead you. Do not jump into any opportunity without seeking God’s will. Don’t go into marital relationship without confirmation of God’s leading and approval, don’t relocate without being sure of God’s leading even if you get free visa or fine job, don’t change career or job or even apartment without God’s leading.

Brethren, “Suffer No loss” is not just by mouth or claiming, it is by following God’s leading step by step. No matter how pleasant, profitable or perfect that decision or thing is, first seek God’s face to lead you and follow His leading for your life no matter what He says, He know the best and He has the best for you this year!

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

Beloved, make it your spiritual goal this year to grow in the Lord and to know how to know God’s leading and speaking to you, and how to discover and be sure of God’s leading for your life. It is very important, so we don’t live in confusion and uncertainty of what God want us to do. Make it your prayer point.

(We will share more this year on knowing God’s leading and its importance)
God bless you, and have a wonderful year!

Religion / The Foretold Victory by FreshGreen: 8:32pm On Jan 01, 2020
THE FORETOLD VICTORY
As I was watching a movie – The Grace Card, a Christian movie written by Howard Klausner - with my family, it got to a point I was so concerned that I asked my wife who had already watched the movie before, “Will the boy die?” My wife said, “No, he won’t die” And I asked again, “What about the man?” She said he won’t die either. So I was comfortable watching. But it got to some point as if the boy in the movie was going to die, but since my wife, who had already watched the whole film said the boy would not die, I wasn’t so move, I had been foretold. But I almost doubt my wife at some points because of the way the movie was going. But the boy didn’t die. It was a wonderful movie of forgiveness and hope in the Lord.

The exact thing is may happen in our real life. God has already seen through this new year, He does not only know the end from the beginning but He knows the end before the beginning,and He foretelling us the victory His Son Jesus Christ has gotten for us this year 2020.

When we get into tough situation, and seems things are working not good, we ask God, “Am I not going to die in this situation?” And God answered us through His word, “No, you are not going to die, but live”.

You ask again, “Enh, God, is this situation not going to overcome me?” God said no, it will not overcome you. You ask by the reason of situation surrounding you, “Am I going to really make it here” God says yes, you will make it. You ask, “God, am I going to really get married happily?” God says, yes you will not only get married, but happily married with a blessed home. You ask, “Am I going to have my own children?” God says yes, you will have wonderful children. You ask, “Am I going to survive this sickness?” God says, “Yes, I am your Healer” And you also ask, “God, am I really going to get provisions to meet all these needs?” And God says, “Yes, because I am your Provider.” And you also ask, “Lord God, I hope I am not going to be put to shame in life as things are going now.” And God says, “My child, you are not going to be put to shame, but be put to success.”

Here is the word of God for us this year:

“That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.” Hebrews 6:18

Yes, we know God cannot lie, but because of the present and persistent situation, we tend to doubt what God says. My brethren, God has already gone through the story of our lives in this new year, He knows the end of everything before their beginning, and He is saying, “relax, no problem, I’m in charge.”

We will do ourselves much good by relying on what God says to us. Have faith in what God says, not fear in what you see now. “Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.” Acts 27:25

NOTE 1: Make sure you always go to the right Person who knows everything, that is God, to ask about anything to that troubles you.

NOTE 2: Believe what God tells you will be, then relax and continue. Don’t stop and don’t sin, because the end will be a sweet testimony!

Isaiah 41:11-13:
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
11 “Behold, all those who were incensed against you
Shall be ashamed and disgraced;
They shall be as nothing,
And those who strive with you shall perish.
12 You shall seek them and not find them—
Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you
Shall be as nothing,
As a nonexistent thing.
13 For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

Hey, what else do you want God to say? How many times do you want Him to ask you not to be afraid or to affirm He will help you?

HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR! The best of the years for revival, renewing, rest, peace and prosperity in the Lord!

Religion / The Redeemed Church And God On Opposite Paths by FreshGreen: 7:16pm On Dec 27, 2019
THE REDEEMED CHURCH AND GOD ON OPPOSITE PATHS
A proverb in Nigeria says, "When a plantain is spoiling, we say no, it is only ripping well" An unripe plantain is rich and contains several nutrients, and when it begins to ripe, it looses its nutrients and could cause health damages, but then it becomes finer, and sweeter; it becomes more presentable and attractive. The same thing is applicable with RCCG and many churches today. But the focus is on RCCG here. The founder of this church, Rev. Akindayomin, a man of holiness and righteousness, God called him and gave him a covenant church, that is Redeemed Christian Church of God - RCCG.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Religion / Secrets Of Success In Business And Career by FreshGreen: 6:20am On Dec 26, 2019
SECRETS OF SUCCESS IN BUSINESS AND CAREER

1, TRUST GOD 100%
Trusting God in your business or career does not mean believing Him for blessing or breakthrough alone, but trusting Him to start with little and to do it in His way even when it looks professionally stupid. If you want to succeed in business or in your professional career without sin or sorrow of Satan, you will need to trust God with all your heart, it means you will not rely on your wisdom or on human connection, and at the same time, you will not be afraid of little beginning, of giants in the same field or of those experienced and powerful competitors; you will not be afraid of storming weather, because in business or career, there will be some storming periods, but you must trust God not to run back and pack up to go and look for job. Trusting God will give you the courage to move ahead in a godly way into success.

2, DON’T COMPROMISE
In business or in career, there will be sometimes that seems without compromising, without telling lies, without giving bribe or falsifying information one cannot succeed, but such notion is a lie. With my little experience in business I have discovered that the more you refuse to compromise, the more you will experience God’s blessings beyond human power. Truly, sometimes it will look as the end of the road if one refuses to compromise, it will seems the business will fail unless one compromise into sin, but if you trust God without compromise like the 3 Hebrews in Babylon, God will always make a better way. I’m laughing as I’m typing this; you know why I used the example of the 3 Hebrews in Babylon? Because that is exactly how it looks at some point in business or in career, it will look if you don’t tell little lie or compromise into sin, everything will get burned and fail, but if you determine not to compromise but rather let go of the business project, God will give you a better success.

Refusing to compromise into sin in business or career, no matter how little or costly will prove to God that you deserve the blessings of Abraham in your business and career, and you will be surprised how God will bless you beyond those who compromised their faith. Do not be too smart in business or career that you will involve in any sinful activity, no matter how small, it will block the heaven of God’s blessing on your life.

3, HAVE THE RIGHT MOTIVE
You know why God will never bless some people in their businesses or careers? It’s because they don’t have the right motive for the blessing. Why do you want to prosper in your business or career? What do you want to use the blessing for? Sometimes I listen to a song when I call people in their caller tune, the song in Yoruba language says, “God, I want to ride range rover, Dangote does not have two heads……” You see the motive of the singer for asking for God’s blessing is to buy and ride expensive cars, and God will not bless such people, but only Satan.

If you have a wrong motive for blessing, to use it for pride, to buy the latest car, to live extravagant lifestyle, then God will not want to waste His blessing on you. In this end time, God is looking for those He will bless, who have the mind to direct the blessings into His kingdom, to help the work of God, to help spread the gospel of holiness, to distribute free Christian materials, to support people in need, to freely share; not those who will divert the blessing of God for their own selfish or carnal motive.

Religion / How To Have A Wonderful Christmas Period by FreshGreen: 7:56am On Dec 24, 2019
HOW TO HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS PERIOD
What matters on Christmas is Christ that we celebrate in mass, and He must daily be celebrated in our lives. On Christmas day, Boxing Day and New Year celebration, here are the tips:

1, Share Gifts and Gospel With People. Christmas is all about sharing, “For God so loved the world that He gave His begotten Son”. Whatever you are sharing, please share the gospel with it. If you are giving gift, include a printed message of the gospel or a Christian movie that will bless and transform lives.

2, Have a Good Time With Family and Friends. In celebrating Christmas, this is an opportunity to share the message of salvation with family and friends, include it in your messages and wishes of Christmas. This is also an opportunity to reconnect, remember, or call family members and friends.

3, You Can Invite & Visit. Your family can invite brethren, family members or friends for dinner and watch Christian movies together. You can also use the period to visit, share the word of God around.

4, Reflect On Your Personal Christian Life. Yes, Christ is born, but are you born again. Is the purpose of Christ coming to the world fulfilled in your life?

The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.

The primary purpose of Jesus Christ coming into this world is not to give your prosperity, healing or good life here on earth, but it is to give you everlasting life – saving you from sin and eternal damnation. Until you realize this, every other thing are unrealistic.

Have genuinely given your life to Jesus Christ since you have been celebrating Christmas?

If you have not experienced genuine salvation that gives victory of adamic nature, addicted sins, and common sins, or if your Christian life has gone low or backward, you can use today to rededicate your life to Jesus and experience the purpose and power of His birth.

God bless you and Merry CHRISTmas!

Religion / Spiritual Frivolity by FreshGreen: 10:50pm On Dec 08, 2019
SPIRITUAL FRIVOLITY
It’s carelessly or ignorantly getting involved in things that weaken spiritual strength, and puncture spiritual life and then make one unable to withstand temptation. This is a common carelessness Satan uses to bring down many Christians into their old sinful habits, because such habits do not immediately lead to sin, they don’t blow or bomb Christian lives at the spot, they only puncture and it is just a matter of time. If a Christian is watchful of satanic bombs, since everybody may run away from bomb, but then Satan can bring in small nails, small arrows that may seem not so harmful but many become victims.

Such frivolous habits are casual but they cause serious casualties, damage and destruction, they are simple but they sink several strong faith. They are like inconsistent Bible reading or daily devotion, over-talking, getting involve in little, little worldly stuffs, watching worldly movies, watching wrestling, getting too much involved as a sport fan, special love and care for latest phones, cars, electronics and other things of this world, listening to worldly music, browsing not-so-real-pornographic sites, checking nude pictures, using worldly materials like makeup, worldly dress; watching “decent worldly” TV shows like American Idol, African Idol, Nigerian Idol, dance competition, reality shows that promote immorality and so on. These things indirectly drain spiritual strength, hinder free flow of God’s grace and Spirit, hamper spiritual growth, and eventually make a Christian spiritually weak and unable to resist temptation.

They are subtle but satanic strategies of destroying Christian faith and bringing people back into their old sinful habits. Those who involve in such things often wonder why they always experience up and down, forward and backward in their Christian lives; it is as a result of spiritual negligence of frivolity – not knowing what you ought to know, not taking heed when the Spirit of God quietly cautions you and when the Word of God quickly corrects you, you ignore Him that such things do not matter since every Christian is doing it and doing fine. So such ignorance is inexcusable.

Religion / Warning For The Wise by FreshGreen: 4:23pm On Nov 27, 2019
WARNING FOR THE WISE
Proverbs 20:17, "Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel"

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

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

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

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

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

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