This is beyond ordinary.

Let's examine some definition of the anointing:

ANOINTING is to be Goded with God.

Anointing is the heavenly electricity generated by the Holy Spirit.

Anointing is the tangible manifestation of God's power and presence, empowering individuals for specific purposes or ministries.

Anointing is an empowerment from God

Anointing is consecration

Anointing is appointment

Anointing is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit according to the level of the power working in individual, lower level or higher level.

Anointing is also the act of applying oil to someone or something, symbolizing, consecration or appointment.



God gave the components of what will make up the ANOINTING oli in (see below)

Exodus 30:22-25 Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.

WHY THE OIL?

God used it as symbol of consecration, to be separated as holy, material or person.


Exodus 30:29-30 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.

God used the oil to symbolize touch not, or as a mark of his presence.
God used it because of its abundance or prosperity and also that people are familiar with oil.


The anointing oil has the bad side, the ANOINTING oil has the side that is not pleasant.


Exodus 30:33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.

In essence, it is only God that can anoint a man or woman, he will use his servant to anoint men or women like Samuel did for Saul and David.

HUMBLE YOURSELF, PLEASE, DON'T ALLOW GOD TO HUMBLE YOU

Papa Adeboye, the G .O of the Redeemed had an interesting encounter with God Almighty, " I was on a prayer walk when He(GOD) suddenly asked me to bend, I bent immediately, then He told me to draw a man in the sand. I drew the stick figure of a man, then He asked me to clean off my drawing. I easily cleaned it off with my foot. He then said ' Just as you made that figure, I made you the moment you start getting proud, I will erase you completely from the surface of the earth that no one will ever remember your name I immediately became afraid and that still resounds in my ears till today."

Above are the quoted statements of Papa Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

You may asked me, how did I get to know these quoted statements from Papa Adeboye? it was through one of his book, titled " HUMILITY ; KEY TO SUCCESS" which was written far back as 2016, that was about nine years ago.

How did I get this book?
I am always attracted to good books and from what I heard from My Father in the Lord , Dr D.K Olukoya that a book can give you a ministry.

It happened one day, I was on my way to work and I saw this man selling old books not new but old ones, so I waited, I just saw the caption "HUMILITY; KEY TO SUCCESS"
I was immediately startled, latter, I went back to the man to purchase the book. This book has really transformed my life totally.

Part of the knowledge I learned from this book and what I have personally experienced are what I am going to share in this small write up.

How do we know that someone is humble?
It is quite confusing and difficult to define but being humble is a state of the mind where one considers himself NOT better than others and that what he or she is,
it is by the grace of God.

Kneeling down, prostrating for someone is very good but it may mean nothing to God's standards of humility.

One man beat his child and reprimanded him to kneel down, the child refused to kneel down but the Father insisted the boy must kneel down, so reluctantly the boy knelt down, truly, the boy knelt down but in the heart of the boy, the boy was actually standing upright, the kneeling down is just to obey the Father but not willingly and ready to kneel down at all.

The above may be some people state of mind, many people look humble with their outlook and the way they conduct themselves but inwardly, they are very proud human beings.

The truth is, pride is deceitful. Pride can deceive you to believe that you know it all and you are entitled to it.

" Obadiah 1:3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?"

Wait!

I will use examples to teach principles like Jesus used Parables to teach.

Your Pastor is not in the Church but a fellow came with a problem to see the Pastor of the church with a lot of money and the fellow complained to you that he could not sleep but you feel that you are also a Pastor you collected the cash and pray for him and you did not bother to tell your Pastor. When the problem starts and you find it difficult to sleep then you run to your Pastor. Will you survive it?

Another example is, "thus saith the Lord'.
God has not said anything ooo, but you feel that you have to say something to make people believe that God is using you, when you are just telling lies on the pulpit and when the witches fires the arrows, Will you survive it?
Don't die before your time. Be humble.

Pride will make you to fight and kill for a position that will eventually destroy you instead of staying as ordinary member and go to heaven straight but you wanted to belong like your friends without asking God what God wants you to become in Ministry.

Avoid show off. Become humble and forget about position unless God told you to go for the position or wait till God puts you there by himself.

Deuteronomy 18:20-22
" But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

God doesn't like to share his glory with any man no matter how mighty you are, when you touch his glory and you want to take the glory that belongs to God, you are already in trouble with God and by the time God decides to humble you, I can assure you that it will not be pleasant, you will not like it, that's why if God really loves you, he will put you in check and restrain you from committing such great blunder of becoming to proud of yourself and thinking that you are the one that deserves it and not God.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

The messenger of Satan (Angellos) came to buffet Paul with a thorn in the flesh.

Buffet( means Kolaphizo in Greek to give one a box in the ear. It was to strike.

It was a bodily harm not outside the body but we don't have all the details of the thorn in the flesh but it was something irritating and painful to Paul.

Thanks be to God for Paul, he learnt his lesson of being humble, though in a hard way.

Apart fornication, adultery and lying one of the most besetting sins to easily fall into without even knowing it is, PRIDE.

When you become too familiar with God and you have achieved so much with God, it is very easy to become proud and start giving yourself the glory instead of God taken all the glory.

How will a man with chains of degree PHD, MSC, BSC be humble?
How?
It takes the grace of God.

Some people cannot shake their junior in the office or relate with a cleaner in his office.

Some people find it difficult to greet people below them in rank.
Please be humble, don't allow God to humble you.

Never attempt to take the glory that belongs to God. It is disastrous and only God can determine what punishment will follow after the attempting to take God's glory.

Moses and Aaron were commanded by God to speak to the rock in Numbers chapter 20.

What did they do?

Numbers 20:7-12 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

The punishment after this was terrible.

Aaron was stripped of his priesthood office while Moses was stopped by God from entering the promises land. So sad.

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:27

1 Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Paul did a very painful thing to his body, he dealt a big blow on himself by keeping under his body,
The Greek word is Hupopiazo: to strike one under the eye, to beat black and blue. To make the body to subject to God's instructions. Severe killing of the body. So that he will not be a castaway.

This is strong meat. Easy to digest for those who will understand but difficult to eat for those who will disapprove it

God has various ways to humble people, he can delay answers to your prayers, he can pass you through difficulties and make you to be ridiculed by your colleagues.
He make you go round and round at one spot until you learn how to be humble.

The best way to be humble is to always ask for God's guidance in each important step or decisions to make.
Ask him.
Can I go?
What do I do, Lord in this situation?

This i believe will help someone to be humble.

A story was told of how to catch a horse. It was painful, you deceive the horse into a hole and you put loads on his back without food and water for several days and then the horse is ready to do whatever you want it to do for you.

This is what happens when someone is loved by God and God wants him to be humble and obedient.

Start humbling yourself now before God and don't allow God to do otherwise for you.

You are at a disadvantage when you believe that you are above everyone and you are the best. It is deception from the pit of hell.
First, you are not perfect, you are prone to error and mistakes and so you need to work on yourself to become better and better every day.
It is only a fool that says he is wise and nobody is wiser than him. A big fool indeed!
No matter how big your head, two good heads are better than one good head.
You will become more successful if you learn from others.

In the modern day official words, teamwork, collaboration, ft, featuring, synergy are the best for great success.
You see people in the office engaging in teamwork to become the best.
You see musician or artist doing collabo or collaboration, that's working together for the best song.
You see, Nathaniel bassey, ft Mercy Chinwo, that is ft, featuring Mercy chinwo together to achieve the best song.

Be humble to always ask for help, never be deceived that you are the master and nobody knows more than you, it is dangerous.
Satan was deceived too before God cast him down from heaven.
Pride can deceived you that you don't need help from anyone and you close heaven over yourself.Those who want to bless you, you refused to ask for help from them because of pride.

When you Minister, allow other people to minister before you so that you can gain something from them.

1 Peter 5:5-6
" Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:"

Use and start saying these words sincerely with a good body language:
Please,
I am sorry,
My sincere apologies ,
You are right,
Thank you Sir,
I am grateful ,
Sir,
Ma,
You are welcome,
God bless you sir
I really appreciate you
Well done,
I salute you.

If you are a Big Pastor, sit down under the Sunday school class for some minutes to learn something.
Go to house fellowship.
Go out for evangelism.
Move with your junior workers and talk with them.

Is this scriptural?

Yes!

See the Bible here:

Romans 12:16
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Besides, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples to demonstrate humility.
Whosoever wants to be a leader must be a servant.

Start to consider other people's opinions.

Start to listen to people below you in rank.

Start fellowshipping with small group.

Start counting others better than yourself.

Never look down on people.

Don't turn yourself to God.

You are there today another person will be there tomorrow.

We only know today, nobody knows tomorrow.

Don't belittle people.

God bless you 🙏

The story of Ahab the king that humble himself

1 Kings 21:15-16, 18-29 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
1 Peter 5:5-7 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

James 4:6-10 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Verance:
The bar to study MBBS in Nigeria is inordinately high because the average Nigerian parent want their children to become a medical doctor, therefore the demand to study MBBS is disproportionately higher compared to other science courses.

For example the year I gained admission to study Chemistry Education (by choice), according to JAMB statistics, only 8 people chose that course for that school that year, on the other hand, 13,000 candidates chose MBBS for that school that year, mind you, the school can only admit 100 each year for MBBS and out of this 100, about a third will come in through connection. So you have 13,000 JAMBITES in a rat race for 70 merit slots. This means that if you picked a random 180 JAMBITES that choose MBBS for that school for that year, only one person would be admitted. Guess who that one person would be? an academic freak and in many cases someone already in the University studying a different course while applying each year for medicine. Hence, you need to score 330+ to be fully confident that you will be that 1/180 persons.

A student that scores 280 is good, 300 is great, 320 is excellent but might not be good enough to get MBBS on merit in a public university in Nigeria. Imagine how hard it is for a JAMBITES of this generation, highly distracted by social media to score 330+. Though compared to my days, UTME questions are softer but the students I encounter in the classroom today have little interest in studying their books spontaneously, which explains the statistics of why it more difficult to score 200 today than when UTME was paper based.

Length and breath of what I have said is: The fact that one doesn't get admitted to study MBBS despite giving the ULTIMATE preparation in terms of study doesn't make the person a bad student. Only those who are exceptionally (freakingly) good academically can score high enough to get MBBS on merit in a public university. The bar is a relative lower in private universities but I bet you know the figures involved.

You may consider other equally good courses to study. I studied Education and currently work as teacher and I can boldly say that my salary plus private lessons in a month beats what the average medical doctor earns in a month in my locality here in Lagos, even if I don't have properties or a large bank account (just like many doctors who started practicing from the time I graduated from school), I can feed myself and family well enough, dress fine and afford a modest accomodation.

I've spoken here based on my decade old experience as a science teacher teaching UTME prep classes.

More private universities should come out to help.

Never! Never! Never!

Nigeria can NEVER become an Islamic State.

It is settled in Heaven.

FATHER CHRISTMAS IN THE 86TH CHAMBER

Brother, I have already talked about Christmas in a teaching but this time around it will be different,
for it will not be preaching or teaching but a testimony. Many people celebrate this feast. Therefore
I will testify so that you can make up your mind either to continue to celebrate this holiday or not.

When I had this experience in my life, I was at a point where I was being taken by the Lord to Hell.

I mean, I had a daily experience with the Lord for a period of 361 days. I had been in Hell for 361
days. And on the 86th day of this experience, the Lord came and He took me again to Hell. When
we arrived in Hell, as usual, this was a kingdom full of fire. There was a lot of lava of fire
everywhere, and I saw countless lost souls inside the lava of fire. They were numerous. I noticed
that their lower parts were in the lava of fire.

Brother, we have all seen lava of a volcano, how they looked like liquid molten steel. Now imagine
thousands of people inside liquid lava of fire burning. I came to see that the majority of the souls
that I was observing were people who were churchgoers.

Beloved, the kingdom of Hell is divided into 361 valleys that we call the chambers of Hell. These
chambers of Hell are actually continents of Hell. On the earth, we have five continents, but in Hell,
there are 361 continents. I can afford to tell you that the continent of Africa and Asia put together is
equal to one continent of Hell. This place of torment is really vast. It is an unbearable place for the
torment was great. People were crying and shouting, they were all asking for forgiveness.

When I saw this horrendous scene, I was crying continually. There was no empty landscape and the
places were full of fire. People were tormented by fire and demons. There was no escape in Hell. I
saw members of my family. In Hell, I saw my grandmother and my grandfather. All these souls in
Hell were in pits of fire.

I asked the Lord, “Why are all these souls in their respective pits of fire?”

The Lord said, “When men of the earth are living in sin, they are digging a hole for themselves.

They are digging an eternal pit in Hell. Sinful lives provide demons with material to build your pit.”

Every chamber of Hell was in an enclosure. And there were screams of millions rising everywhere.

I heard people complaining and regretting.

A lost soul said, “Why have my body lied and deceive me? I fulfilled the desire of the body. But this
is where it led me. Everything that I strived to acquire in life, I left it on the earth and I lost my soul
for eternity. Woe to me.”

Other souls were insulting God, for the suffering was unbearable, and there was no escape.

When I saw the pain of the lost, I cried bitterly.

I said to the Lord, “Is there no more opportunity for these souls to be redeemed?”

The Lord said to me, “Men can repent on the earth when they are alive. However, when men fall
into this place, it is too late.”

As we were moving above these people, I saw countless lost souls lifting their arms to the Lord and
asking for deliverance. When I looked, I saw that these lost souls were like rotting and they were
covered with worms and fire that was burning them. Whenever these people tried to remove worms
on their bodies, more worms were coming upon them. It was better to accept the ones crawling on
your body instead of removing them for they will multiply. In the Kingdom of Hell, there were fast
springing from under the ground and the fire was burning all these innumerous crowds of souls and
people were crying.

Seeing this torment, I was crying all the time and I was saying, “Lord, pity Your people.”

FATHER CHRISTMAS

Finally, we arrived before a gate. When I looked, I saw a man sitting before the gate. He was
dressed exactly like Father Christmas. He was holding toys on his hand, and he was laughing at
people that were stuck inside the gate. I saw above the gate of this place. It was written, “The
chambers of the damned souls who celebrate Christmas.”

The writing was not of this world but the Lord enabled me to understand it. I am just simplifying
things so that you can understand. In Hell, I saw that fire was not burning demons, impure birds,
beasts and impure animals. It was only burning human souls that were in this hostile place.

When I saw this writing on the gate, I said, “Lord, what is the meaning of this inscription?”

The Lord said, “All the sins that people are committing on the earth are classified in prisons and
punishments in Hell. This chambers that you see is built for people who are celebrating Christmas.”

I said, “Lord, people celebrate Christmas because it is Your birthday.”
The Lord replied to me, “That is not the case. This celebration was instituted by the devil through
the Roman Catholic Church. And the demon you see that is called Father Christmas is the unclean
spirit that is seducing the world. He is a demon. This church that came up with Christmas is the
representative of Satan. They have instituted this Christmas. “

The Lord said, “There were many gods in the ancient times. The Emperor was worshipping the Sun
God. When the Romans came to Christianity, the Emperor resolved to come with a feast for the
Christians. The Emperor said, ‘Since there is a feast of Holy Communion to remember the death
and resurrection of Christ, we need a day of celebration in order to celebrate the Sun God.’ “

“This inspiration came from the devil himself who had summoned a meeting in which he told the
powers of darkness, ‘Since Christians of the world don't have a day where they remember and
celebrate their master. And since living in the presence of their master daily is the celebration of
their God, lets come up with a day where we will tell the world that they are celebrating the birth of
Christ. This will be the day the whole world and all families of the world will give me honor. I want
a day where the whole world would celebrate and worship me a day, where all the families of the
earth will worship and celebrate me. That day will not be for remembering the death of Christ, for it
is too powerful. When the families of the earth and the inhabitants of the earth will celebrate this
day, they shall be marked by my serial 666.’ ”

This resolution of Satan was implemented by the Roman Catholic Church and people who celebrate
Christmas are marked with 666 for they are worshipping the devil. I saw this demon that was Father
Christmas before the gate. He was saying to the damned souls in torment, “Rejoice for this is your
kingdom. You have accepted our proposition and you have done our will in bidding. This is your
reward.”

When we got to the gate, this demon ran away from the presence of the Lord. I saw the names of
the people who celebrate this pagan feast on the gate. Then the gate opened. When we entered the
gate of this chambers, I was like lost.
I said, “Lord, please get me out of here. I swear to tell people that Hell is real. This place is
unbearable. I cannot take it.”

The Lord said, “My son, you have to see this. It is in your interest. You should tell the inhabitants of
the land about these things.”
Brother, there was fire everywhere in this place. There was no empty space. Quickly I began to hear
voices of men and children. They were countless. These children were obsessed with the Christmas
celebration on the earth. I watched and I saw that they were like decomposing and they were crying.

As we were moving in this place, I saw a pit and inside the pit, there was a baby crying. He was
eaten by worms. As the baby was crying the Lord allowed me to hear him. He was saying, “I don't
know anything. I left the earth when I was one year old. What have I done to deserve this?”

I asked the Lord, “Why is this baby here?”

The Lord said, “The baby was initiated from the womb of her mother in witchcraft. That is why he
is there.”
When we left this baby, I saw a toddler. He was surrounded by demons. These demons were cartoon
characters that he was watching on the earth. The kid used to watch Snowy. As a result, Snowy was
around him in this place among others. The child seems to be 8. [Snowy (French: Milou [milu]) is a
fictional character in The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé.

Snowy is a white Wire Fox Terrier who is a companion to Tintin, the series' protagonist.]

Brother, in Hell, it was difficult to identify people for they were rotting and they were skeletal. You
will recognize people thanks to their voices for they were covered with worms. The child was
crying and calling the name of his mother and father. For when you fall in Hell, you will remember
your family and loved ones that you left on the earth.

I asked the Lord, “Why was this child there?”

The Lord said, “When this child was on the earth, his parents were always buying him gifts and
presents for Christmas. But whenever his parents failed to buy him presents and clothes, he was
crying and bothering his parents. He was shouting and imposing himself and saying, ‘I must
celebrate Christmas.’ His parents were so pressured that they had to do what it takes to buy him
Christmas presents and clothes. When new clothes were bought for him, he was happy to go play
with other kids. Since the child was doing this every Christmas, the Devil put the mark 666 on the
child, for he had become a worshipper of Father Christmas who represented everything for the
child. This was actually worship of Father Christmas.”

The Lord said, “You shall have no other God than Me. Christmas has become more that matters for
children and Father Christmas has become a god for children. When Christmas comes, they become
impatient and there is the heartbeat.”

When we left this pit we went to another pit where I saw a man and a woman inside. They were in
chains and they were skeletal. They were saying to one another, “I am here because of you. It is
your fault.”

Quickly the Lord told them to keep quiet. When I looked at these two people, I saw that there were
no eyes in their eye sockets for the fire had consumed their eyes and worms were coming out of
their eye sockets.
They were saying, “Lord, have mercy on us.”
They were on their knees and were asking for mercy.

But the Lord said, “My children, it is too late.” I saw that Jesus was crying for their souls. Jesus
said, “You had all the time on the earth to repent. Once you fell here, there is nothing I can do.”

The Lord said, “You see, this man and woman were boyfriend and girlfriend. When Christmas of
the year 2013 had come, they went to the restaurant to eat and have a good time. It is when they
were coming back that they had an accident in the National Boulevard of the city.

I asked the Lord, “What is that they did wrong?”

The Lord said, “You shall not have other gods before Me. They wanted to celebrate Christmas. And
this is their condemnation.”

Brother, just imagine, just because of the celebration of this holiday called Christmas, the souls of
these people were lost.

Jesus had not finished talking when we heard someone behind us calling the Lord and saying,
“Jesus, please get me out of this place. I have suffered enough.”

We went towards the pit where the voice was coming from. I saw that as we were going there, the
Lord was crying and shedding tears like someone who has lost a loved one. Then I saw from the pit
a woman who was crying, there was no eyes in her eye sockets for her flesh was burned. I saw that
in her pit there was like a huge pan full of meat, but there was a voice shouting, “Justice.”

I said, “Lord, what did she do?”
The Lord said, “This woman was not going out to celebrate Christmas, but every Christmas she was
cooking a lot of food and meat and inviting people to come and celebrate. Then one day in
Christmas after the cooking she was shouting in the street “Merry Christmas” to everyone. When
she was shouting “Merry Christmas,” the Principality of Christmas came and said to her spirit,
“Since you have been shouting my name I have come,” and this demon entered her house.

The lady could not see the demon of Christmas that we call Father Christmas. A few days later she
fell sick and died. On that day of her death, Father Christmas came and cast her soul in this place.

She never knew that she invited this demon inside her place.

Seeing these things, I cried a lot.

The lady said to the Lord, “Master, you know that I served you faithfully. I was arranging the
church and carrying the Bible of the pastor. I was paying my tithes. I was doing evangelism.”

Jesus said, “I know the works you have done for Me. But you were imprudent and complacent for
you knew My word and My principles, but you went on to celebrate this holiday willingly. You
ignored the voice of the Spirit because of a lack of vigilance. By celebrating this holiday you went
to worship this god of Christmas, who is a demon. You shall have no other God than Me. It is too
late and there is nothing I can do.”

Then we moved to another pit where I saw four children. They were holding fiery hammers and
they were beating a woman with their hammers.

They said, “We did nothing wrong. But this woman brought us here. She is the one who taught us to
celebrate Christmas every year. That is why we are here.”

The Lord said, “This lady is the mother of these four children. She used to buy her children's
clothes every year at Christmas and they were celebrating. One day they were on a bus and they had
an accident and they died.”

The mother said to the Lord, “The children were piling pressure on me every Christmas to buy them
new clothes, and I had no choice but to please them in order to have peace. I wanted to please
them.”

The Lord said, “My daughter, it is written, ‘Do not conform to the present world. You are not of this
world.’”

Brother, we cannot do things and follow the traditions of the world because the people of this world
are doing it. We are not of this world. Let us learn to use the freedom that we have received from
the Spirit.

The Lord said, “My daughter, time is gone for you.”

As we were moving in this place, there were pits everywhere with people shouting because of pain.

There were demons mocking these souls in this place. They were saying, “You people were
worshipping Father Christmas by celebrating Christmas. This is your kingdom. You will celebrate
and worship Father Christmas here forever. Why are you crying? You are in your kingdom. This is
your kingdom forever.”

While we were in this chamber of Hell, I saw the gate where we had entered this chamber of Hell. I
saw demons coming in the gate with a number of children. They were pulling these children with
wires that were attached to their tongues.

The Lord said, “What you see are the newcomers. They've died on the earth and they have the mark
of Father Christmas 666 on their forehead.”

They were crying for help. The Lord had a love for these souls. But He kept saying, “Too late, too
late.”

Beloved, how many times have you and I celebrated this pagan holiday? Then I saw in a distance a
soul that was inside liquid lava. His belly was like four meters and demons were piercing his belly
with javelins.

The Lord said, “This man has lived 55 years on the earth from birth until death. He celebrated
Christmas every year. He never missed to celebrate. He was buying food and clothes and going out
to celebrate. He kept telling his wife, ‘We must celebrate and enjoy this time of life. I am happy to
be with you.’ ”

The Lord said, “All the food that he had eaten in all the Christmas celebration all these years are in
his belly. That is why it is that way.”

Jesus said, “Demons will pierce him forever.”

And I saw that he was unable to stand up because of his belly. He was calling the name of his pastor
but it was too late. He was there inside the fire.

Then I saw a preacher in Hell preaching and telling lost souls, “Do not celebrate Christmas as it is
of the devil.” I saw that some souls were asking for forgiveness, other souls were insulting him.

I asked the Lord, “Why has this preacher fallen in this place?”

The Lord said, “In his church, he was preaching that people can celebrate Christmas. Every
Christmas children were invited and given presents in his church. When he died, he realized that he
was in error. That is why you see him preaching this way, but it is too late for him.”

When we got to him, he said, “Lord, pity me. I did your work and won souls on earth. And when I
fell in Hell, I realized my mistake. That is why I am preaching here and many souls believed me.

Get me out here.”

The Lord said, “Lying servant, you knew My word, but you wanted to follow the celebration of the
world and you preached that celebrating Christmas was okay. It is too late.”

When we were leaving, this preacher began to insult the Lord and he was blaspheming. The Lord
was in tears.

In this place. I saw Cardinals of our country. I will not quote their names. I saw Catholic priests and
Popes. This was unbearable. There were people in the river of lava of fire. Some were looking for a
way to get out, but there was no place to hide. They were laying in the river of fire. People were
calling for help and saying, “What have we done to deserve this torment?”

The wall of the enclosure of this place was also burning with great fire. In this chaos, I was hearing
a voice saying, “Increase the temperature.” For every half an hour, there was an increase in the
temperature of the lava. You cannot imagine what I am talking about. There were incessant screams.

You cannot imagine this horrendous place.

In this place, I saw a cardinal with a popular school in our city. He was surrounded by kids that
were grabbing him. They were saying, “Father, you are the one who brought us here.”

These children were joined by faithful believers of the Catholic Church. They were tormenting the
Cardinal saying, “We have come here because of you.”

Brother, after seeing these torments of Hell, my life will never be the same again.

On line services have been on for some years in some churches before COVID 19 but during COVID 19 , on line services have become popular in almost all churches, this was due to the fact that the pandemic made it compulsory for people to meet outside the church or in their various houses but nowadays, the on line services have come to stay because so many people prefer to CONNECT on line than to be physically present in Church, this will make them to be well informed of whatever is happening in their various churches.

Some people due to their busy business schedule may not have the time to attend the service, so they prefer to connect on line to keep themselves abreast of whatever is happening in their various denominations.

Both services, on line and on site are good but the physical present, in my own opinion, service is still the best.

The physically present service provide an opportunity for you to see the Minister of God face to face or from afar and make you to concentrate more than the on line services.

The on line services are very good for people that have strong faith and are willing to use their strong faith to receive blessings not minding the distance but believers on on line services tend to loose concentration because of any sudden occurrence that may arise whenever they are at home.

There is a kind of blessing that you can only experience when you are physically present in the service, this is due to covenant of God on the land where you worship.

Whichever one you attend, always find time to attend the one that you can be physically present to enable the covenant of God upon the land where you worship to work for you.

God bless you.

Marriage can be defined as the union two opposite personalities working hard to live together under the same roof.

Whenever you want to get marry, always have it at the back of your mind that you are going to experience conflict, war, battles, individual differences and so many opposite situations that may be difficult to control, you must learn how to say sorry or please, from time to time.

Why?

You both came from different background with different home training, so, you will need the help of God, to maintain peace and harmony.

The husband must be matured and the wife must be compassionate enough to understand the husband.

It can be controlled but not totally banned.

One way or the other, expertise may be needed to handle some of their affairs which only the immigrants can do.

These people, how do they manage to sleep with innocent blood in their hands?

I bet, they will be having terrible night mare unless they do something to avoid terrible dreams.

Amen

You better go and pray about it so that God can break the protocol and get the job for you, forget about the fact you are a Nigerian.

Will someone give you #100 million without any serious consequence?

This is money, this is death.

What is a curse?

Please read:

There was a powerful man that was told his village is going to be attacked and it was sure the war will overcome him, this powerful man consulted the herbalist or his spiritual man about the war, his spiritual man told him that the war will be tough and that he might not survived it but there is a way out, the spiritual man told him to sacrifice a day old baby and pound with local herb inside mortar and use the blood of the day old baby to bath,.this will be the juju for him to make him more
stronger.
Eventually, the war came on the village and the powerful man sacrificed a day old baby to become the devil incarnate and use the power to capture all the people that came to attack his village. He won the battle.

How did he get a day old baby?

One of the slave woman of this powerful man gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. It was the blood of this bouncing baby that was used as juju to make him more powerful to win the war.
The slave woman pronounced a curse on the this powerful that as you denied me my joy, none of the women that came from his lineage will enjoy the birth of a baby.

How did we get to know this?

One woman came from this powerful man lineage
It was this woman that was having several miscarriages in her marriage that got this secret after a lot of prayers of enquiry from God.


Back to the question.

What is a curse?

A curse is an expression of evil against a person, place or things and enforced by evil forces.
Until the curse is destroyed and the evil forces behind the enforcement are bind and cast out, The curse will continue from generations to generations.


So, how does economy affect this kind of curse?

There are people abroad facing this same problem.

People are attending crusade in well developed countries better than Nigeria and praying for breakthrough in the name of Jesus.

It is not about poverty or the economy of this country. No!
There are some problems that the great economy of a country cannot solve.

His death will inspire other fellow minded Christians to do more for the Lord.

This guy is inside human skin but another personality.

I doubt if he is really a human being.

HOW WEAVEON, EARRINGS AND FEMALE TROUSER WOULD HAVE SENT ME TO HELL FIRE

TESTIMONY OF AKINTOLA RACHAEL TRANSLATED FROM YORUBA LANGUAGE TO ENGLISH

My name is Mrs Akintola Rachael. I am a member of Divine Call Evangelical Ministry at Imeko Town. I want all women to listen to my testimony and reflect on the way they live their lives which goes against the Kingdom of God we are pursuing. We Christians, Ladies, Choirs, and especially we wives of ministers of God, this is the question I want to ask us, why is it that we don’t please our creator but instead please our husbands with worldly dressing, do we even remember that we will get separated from our husbands one day without notifying anyone? Do we know who will depart first? If we eventually die, do we know the journey we are about to embark upon?
On the 23/5/2015, this unforgettable experience happened to me. During this period, I was pregnant and it was time for me to give birth. I was feeling birth pains, yet I was trying to take care of the house because of the children I want to give birth to. As I was fetching water, I was also washing my clothes. I was doing all these works so as to make things easy for my Mother-in-law when she arrives. I was doing all these without knowing that I was not going to return to that house. After some time, I couldn’t bear the pain any longer, I put some few clothes into my bags so that the neighbors will not suspect that I want to go for delivery. By the time I would get to the mid-wife, I gave birth to twins, two boys. I was so joyful, people came to congratulate me. My siblings, family members and in-laws all came and we were all celebrating. After that day, during the night when we all slept, something strange occurred. I was told that I shouted suddenly that night while asleep. The whole family in the house woke up, wondering where the noise came from. By the time the midwife got to where I was. They found out I was dead. They tried all means to revive me but it never worked. There was fuel scarcity during that time in the country, so there were no commercial buses on the road. They had to call some men to carry me on their back to a near by hospital. By the time they got to the hospital, they confirmed that I was dead. They took me to another hospital and called my elder siblings. When they got there they asked them at the hospital that why are they carrying a dead corpse from hospital to hospital.
One of my siblings was a devout Christian who had strong faith and began to pray that I won’t die. Immediately, they took me to an hospital at Lantoro. By the time they got to the gate of the hospital at Lantoro, they were pleading that they accept me at that hospital, but they refused because I was dead. All I knew was that I could hear my family members say, please help us admit her. I just discovered my spirit came out of my body where I was laid. As I stood up, I saw two very white bird that looked like an aeroplane. They stood on my shoulders and I began to imagine what was happening but I couldn’t talk. As these birds stood on my shoulders, they stretched my arms and suddenly began to transport me to heaven. I began to shout that, where am I going to, but I saw no one. After some time, these bird landed me under a very big tree. That place was an expanse of land, I couldn’t see the end. No single human or animal was there, not even a thing to behold except the white cloud I could see above. My feet could now touch the ground there, and I began to walk about whether I would see someone who would tell me where I was and how I could get back home.

As I was roaming about and shouting, please is anyone in the neighborhood, but I saw no one. I had roamed about for long where these birds landed me and left, I saw no one there and after some time I stood still. As I was thinking on what to do, suddenly I saw an angel, his appearance was white, everything he wore was white. The Angel came close to me and I asked him, please sir, where am I, I don’t know how I got here. Then the angel told me, you are in heaven, don’t you know that you have died. I said, no I will not die in the name of Jesus, I that just gave birth, I was arguing with the Angel but he was making me to realize that I was a dead person, he said, you are in Heaven. Still I did not agree, I told him I am not dead and my children are at home. As we were arguing, the angel told me, ok for you to believe that you have died, he then pointed his hand to a place, and a big television screen appeared. I could see this television screen project where my dead body was lying on earth and how wool was put into my mouth, nose, ears and my body covered with a white cloth. I could see my mother and my mother-in-law and my husband sit beside where my corpse was laid. My mother carried one of my new born twins, my mother-in-law carried the other, while my husband sat down crying. They were all weeping. As I was watching this event, I could see many crowd at the entrance of our house that were crying, then I began to imagine that could it be real that I have died. The Angel told me to continue watching, then I could see some people digging the ground, they had dug the ground very dip and they were sweating as they were digging the ground. After seeing this, I was afraid and I began to tell the Angel that, please I am not ready to die now, please I don’t know how I got here. I was still pleading when the angel replied me that, young woman, this is the help I can do for you, let me take you to where the dead line up so that you won’t stress yourself too much. As I was pleading that I am not ready to die and that he should show me the way how to go back home, suddenly, the birds that carried me at first had already arrived again and stood on my shoulders. They stretched my arms again and began to carry me up at a very powerful speed I cannot explain. As they were carrying me, I was shouting, please let me go back, I am not ready to die. These birds did not even pay attention to me, by the time we landed where they were taking me to, it was an expanse of land filled with dead people who were on a queue. All the dead lined up on different queues just like students line up on assembly ground. There was a long table at the front, I couldn’t see the beginning nor the end of the table. Angels were at the front of the table with files and books which were on the table. There were numerous angels seated to attend to each queue. The dead I found there were so many that I couldn’t see the end of the queue. The Angels were calling our names one by one. Each queue was attended to by an angel, what surprised me was that each second, another person was added to my back at the queue.

As I was thinking that, what is happening here, suddenly the Angel that meet me at the tree appeared and stood by my side. Then I asked him, what have we come to do here and what are they doing at the front. He then told me that, don’t you know that this is where you will receive judgment, the Angels to judge you are at the front. He showed me a very beautiful broad road at the front and also showed me a very tiny rough road. As the Angels were dropping the files of each person they were pointing to each person to take the broad way. There were now much crowds on that way as wide as it was, to the extent that they were pushing themselves. Then I told the Angel that, instead of these people pushing themselves, why don’t some of them pass through that narrow road so that it will be easy for us all to get to Heaven. Then the angel answered me that, as many the people here are, if two people should pass that tiny road, it will result to celebration in Heaven. Then I asked, why, He told me, don’t you know this wide road is the road that leads to hell. As beautiful as the road is, it is fire that is at the end of it. But that tiny road is the road that leads to Heaven and the end of the road is eternal joy. Then I asked him that, why is it that it is few people that will pass that road. He then told me, it is your works that will determine where you will be directed to when your file is checked. As he spoke that words, I thought in my heart that, Ah! Will I be among the two that must pass here. As I was thinking this in my heart, to my surprise he replied me that, you, with the way you are, the road you are going to be directed to is that broad way. I cried out, Why! He said, you see the hair on your head, the trousers you put on and the earring you put on your ear is what will sentence you to hell fire. During that time I did a weave on hair, and put on a female trousers and also put a little earring and that was how I also appeared in Heaven when my spirit left my body. When the Angel told me that is what will sentence me to hell, he now asked me that, were you not told when on earth that wearing of female trousers, using of weave on and using of earrings are sins that can lead a person to hell. Then I began to plead with him that I never knew I would die on time like this and that I normally thought that by the time my death is getting closer, I will repent. I begged him, but he told me, your judgment is a the front. As he said those words, some things began to speak from my body which I could not see. They began to say, Rachael, Rachael, do you know that the earring on our ear and the hair on our head and the trouser is what will take us to hell. Then another was also talking from my body that, but they told us when we were on earth, or didn’t they tell us. As my conscience was troubling me, I was struggling to at least cut or pull off by force the weaveon on my head. As I was pulling the weaveon, it was getting more longer, the more I tried to cut it off, the more it became shiny and very long. I thought, Ah! What will I do to cut off this weaveon, yet they were calling people and it was about four people left then I would be called. Then I left the weaveon and began to pull the earrings on my ears so as to remove it quickly, but it didn’t remove, instead it became more long and bold to the extent that it had reached my shoulder. I thought again, Ah! What would I do, then I tried to remove my trousers or even tear it on me, the trousers refused to get removed or torn. When I did all these and don’t know what to do again, then I began to shout, please everyone have mercy on me, let me go and tell them that I have died, my parents don’t know that I have died, my children are at home. This was what I was shouting but no one answered me, the angels kept calling names of people. When it was three people left before I would be called, I saw a woman I knew on earth on the line I was, she was the wife of a minister of God. She had died when I was still on earth, and we mourned her. When she was alive, she does not wear trousers, or use weaveon, she always appeared holy and we all had the belief that she had gone to heaven. When I saw her name being called, I said to myself that, assuredly, among the two that must make it to heaven, this woman will be one of them, but as the angels asked her questions and checked her file, the accusation laid against her was that she was keeping malice. They told her that she and her husband had a misunderstanding before the night that she would die though her husband begged her before they slept but she kept the matter in her heart with the intention of retaliating not knowing that she would die that night. This was the only sin that was found on the woman and the angel pointed to that broad way that she should pass there. Then I shouted, Ah! A person that when she was on earth she does not fight, insult anyone, does not use earrings and weaveon and even use to preach to us. I was watching her as she put her finger in her mouth and was crying as she went. Then I said, Oh God, if a person that is holy like this is still sentenced to hell, how will I even escape this hell. There was nothing I could do again, only two were left and I would be called. I then began to shout, please have mercy on me, let me go back and carry my Bible, let me go and carry my Bible, please have mercy on me, I don’t know my time is up, I have not carried my Bible.

It was the Bible I was shouting that I wanted to go and carry. My shout became so loud that the angel could not concentrate on what they were doing. Immediately, someone answered from behind the angels that, what is wrong with that woman that is shouting. Then they replied, she said she wanted to go her carry her Bible. Then He said, were you not told that there is no repentance in the grave. I then told him, I did not know that I would die on time, and that he should please let me go and carry my Bible. As He was talking to those angels, just His words was shaking the whole Heaven and everyone was quaking. Then He told those angels, give her five minutes to go back and take her Bible, if after five minutes she is not back, where ever she is judge her there. As He said this, the angel beside me said, quickly go now. Immediately those birds have arrived and stood on my shoulders. They carried me back to where that big tree was, when they dropped me there, my feet could now touch the ground. Then I began to run with great speed so that at least I could go and put off the trousers, weaveon and earring. As I was running, I discovered that I got to the entrance of my house. When I got there, I saw people outside weeping. Those who were digging the ground had dug it very dip and were sweating seriously. When I got near that pit that was dug, I was shaking my head that so it is true that I have died, but as I was doing those things, no one saw me. Then I saw one of my sister who was an hairdresser who was fixing an hair extension known as attachment for someone. Then I began to rebuke her that, sister, don’t attach something to someone’s hair, it is a sin, that is why I was not allowed to enter Heaven. No one could hear all I was saying, as my sister was attaching the artificial hair to that person’s head, I was seizing it from her hand and beating her hand, but she didn’t even see me. Then I remembered while doing this that five minutes will soon be up. Then I left her and entered the house since she could not see me. When I entered, I saw my dead body on the bed, how wool was put in my nose, mouth and ears. When I saw it, I shook my head seriously and was crying. My mum was sitting on the edge of the bed, by mother in law was there also. I began to call tell my mother, don’t cry, I am here, I am not dead look at me, still they could not see me. I faced my mother in law and called her, grandma, I am here don’t cry again, I told my husband the same thing but no one saw me, they were just crying. I was so troubled and I looked at the time that five minutes will soon be up. Immediately I looked for a blade and cut off the weaveon on my head and also removed the earring on my ears and removed the trousers also and change to another dress. Then I looked at body on the bed, and since no one saw me I was in a haste to go back before five minutes is up. I ran out of the house and was running seriously so as to meet up but to my surprise, as I was running with speed I did not get there, instead I just woke up back to the world.

The day I woke up was the fifth day I had died. They did not bury me on time because they were just praying that if God could just bring me back to life. When I came back to life and stood up, everyone just began to roll on the floor praising God.
When I came back to life, I burnt all the things that hindered me from making heaven like weaveon, attachments, earrings and others. I thank God that he had mercy on me and still allowed me to be alive till this moment. I only obtained mercy because many had died like that. Please let everyone hearing my testimony repent. Abandon anything thing that will hinder you from making heaven.

1 Timothy 2:9
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

1 Peter 3:3
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

Jeremiah 4:30
And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.

Isaiah 3:16-21 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
The rings, and nose jewels.
NOTE: THE LORD IS SHOWING US MERCY THROUGH THIS KIND OF MESSAGES, LET US TAKE THEM SERIOUS WHILE WE ARE STILL ALIVE.

erico2k2:
Must you lot bring religion into everything? You think pastors and religious leaders do not practice family planning?
Una too dey over do for this Nigeria

The thread is for secondary school.

Are we talking about adults here?

Using this is like putting knife into the hearts of God. This is fornication.

Sin is sex before marriage, contraceptives or no condoms.

What about diseases and spiritual transactions?

May God help our youths to refocus on better things than sex before marriage in Jesus Christ name Amen.

Everything God does and will do for man is because of his mercy, we don't deserve anything from Almighty God.

Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Romans 9:16
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.


Man is extremely wicked, we only know what we are today, what we can do today, being nice, gentle, kind and loving but when the pressure of life comes and the vicissitudes of life come then you will discover the other sides of men.
When we eat, drink and fellowship together, anything can happen that will bring out the true character of the real human beings which is wickedness. We only know today, tomorrow is uncertain, men do change.

God created us, God knows us more than we know ourselves, nobody can hide him or herself from God. Human beings are born in iniquity, we were conceived in sin.
Our blood line from generation to generation are full of wickedness, lying, pride, deceit, hatred, malice, sexual immorality, murder, war , fighting, envy and all other various kinds of wickedness.
Unless human beings encountered God's mercy through our Lord Jesus Christ, men cannot do good and be conformed to the
image of God.
It will be difficult for human beings considered to be thinking of evil continually to recognize and acknowledge God unless he encounters God's mercy.
Oh! Yes! You can boast and say I know myself, I cannot hurt anyone, I cannot steal, I will not do bad to anyone, I am well trained, I have good home training, I am innocent, I am a good person, I won't kill.

Wait!

You can never be trusted with money until you see an opportunity to steal without anyone knowing then you decide not to steal the money, that's when you can be trusted but if you discover people will know about it, you will not steal because you don't want your image to be tarnished, so you leave the money and not steal it, however, if you discover nobody will know, you will steal the money and nothing will happen because no one is aware of it and you can defend yourself.

When you are provoked by someone calling you unprintable names , abusing you in front of everyone and you refuse to fight or get angry then we know you have conquered anger.
When you are seduced to commit sexual immorality and you said No! then you can be said to be innocent.
When everyone is planning to dupe the company but you made up your mind that you will not be involved then you can be trusted.
How many people can do this?

Few!

Even the few must have a good conscience towards God and towards man.
The heart of men is always thinking of evil continually, it is desperately wicked.
Always remember that anyone who has not encountered God's mercy through our Lord Jesus Christ can never be trusted with anything.

According to Google, the Hebrew word for mercy is RACHAMIM and it is in plural form and it is linked with the word in singular form RECHEM meaning WOMB which provides the root for RACHAMIM.
It is a sense of deep and nurturing and protective love that is, a mother's love for her child.
Another important word is CHESED which means steadfast love, loyalty, lovingkindness and faithfulness. Covenant love and commitment.
It goes beyond simple forgiving a human being. It is a deep compassion, willingness to show kindness and love especially in God's relationship with his people.
Mercy is to get inside somebody skin or body just like a Mother to her child and feel the pain then you pardon the person, this is the best definition of mercy.
Mercy goes beyond forgiveness, it is a compassionate treatment, kind and forgiving, refusing to punish or inflict pain on a criminal.
That person is guilty and punishable under the law of the land but MERCY SAY NO!

Mercy of God will fight for you when you are incapacitated and inadequate,
mercy will make you to be stronger than your enemies until you defeat them.
Mercy is not getting the punishment of what you deserve to get.
The mercy of God is a sacrifice that will win against the judgement.
It can judge others for your sake and don't be too careless, mercy will also judge you too.

If you live your life on this earth without being merciful to people around you, you die without the mercy of God and at the end of your life, you will be judged without mercy.

Mercy is not for you to do whatever you like and be boasting, God will have mercy on me,
It is dangerous to do that, you may be playing with fire.


In this Christian pilgrimage, Grace will save you
but it is the MERCY of God that will sustain you on the journey to heaven.

You don't say you qualify for mercy. No!.
If you do. You will not get the mercy of God.
You don't say, I do this, I do that for God, I obey God's law and commandment, I am a fervent believer, and I am overqualified for mercy, No! You won't get the mercy of God.

How can you get the mercy of God?
How do you align yourself to receive the mercy of God?

BE HUMBLE

You need to understand that you are inadequate, you were born in sin, you are weak, you cannot do it on your own ability, your willingness and strength alone will not guarantee God's mercy.
You must as a matter of necessity rely on the God to sustain you by asking , oh God have mercy on me! I cannot do it alone, I need your help everyday of my life then you are on your way to obtain God's mercy but if you are the type that always boast and pride yourself around as if God is your errand boy, you will not get the mercy of God.

One woman was told by the Doctor that she will soon die, there is no other way, the Doctor confirmed to her that she will soon die.
As a believer, she began to ask fo mercy, Lord, have mercy on me, Lord, have mercy on me, that was what she was saying till she died.
When she appeared before the judgement of God, she was still saying the same thing, and Jesus appeared to her and granted her mercy to his kingdom.

We all need the mercy of God.

Mercy is not for sinners alone, everyone needs God's mercy to get to heaven.
No man will get to heaven because of the fact you say, I am qualified to enter heaven, we will only see Jesus Christ when we acknowledge that we don't deserve anything and that we are saved by grace not because of the works which we have done for God but because of his everlasting mercy.

God will only meet us based on his mercy, the ark of God, the MERCY SEAT inside the tabernacle is a vivid example of how God meets men.

Exodus 25: verses 17 to 22.
Let's read verses 21 to 22" And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall I shall give thee.
22: And THERE I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will thee in commandment into the children of Israel"

God will only meet you if you acknowledge your limitations and consider God as the ONLY way out of your weaknesses.


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

The book of Jude is just one chapter,

Jude verse 2: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Jude 21: Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Eternal life is by the mercy of God. Nobody deserves it but only by the mercy of the Almighty God.

Again, how do you become someone that will be in the position to obtain God's mercy?

BE MERCIFUL.

Don't be too wicked or judgemental, realize that human beings are prone to make mistakes, no human being can be said to be 100 percent perfect, we may be working towards perfection but not automatic.
Put yourself in the position of others, feel what they feel within them, acknowledge their weaknesses and try as much as possible to help people, give people a benefit of doubt by considering the situation that warrants their mistakes and errors.
Give them a second chance, do not condemn people outrightly based on their first behavior and give them the second chance.
Always remember that life is a circle, it has a way of getting back to you big-time.
Tread gently, the land is slippery.
Help people in need whether they deserve it or not.
Feel their pains.
This way, you are aligning yourself to receive the mercy of God.

BECOME AN INTERCESSOR or STAND IN THE GAP IN PRAYERS FOR OTHERS

This way, you are partnering or working with God to rescue souls from hell or depopulate the kingdom of hell.
This is like evangelism on your knees, praying fervently for souls to be saved.
If you can just take one soul from your family members and be interceding for the person until the he or she becomes born again, you have almost saved a nation from hell because that person you are praying for can become a general overseer or an Apostle tomorrow, who will go from nation to nation to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There was the true story of which the man of God told us himself. His own story how he became converted to Christianity.

The man of God was from the other religion but the grandmother was a devoted Christian who could hear from God directly and God gave the assignment to be praying for the man of God who was from the other religion then, the grandmother continued to interceed and stand in the gap for him until one day, God told the the grandmother that the man of God has met with Jesus Christ. So, the man of God came to the grandmother to tell her he has accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, that was when the grandmother said, she has finished her assignment on earth and not too long after that the the grandmother died and went to be with the Lord.

The grandmother has saved thousands of souls even though she is dead but the souls that will be saved through the man of God will be as a result of the prayer of the grandmother. So, the prayer of intercession or standing in the gap for someone goes along way to align yourself with God's mercy.

BE LIKE DAVID in the Bible

An intentional study of the life of David in the Bible will make you understand how you can obtain mercy from God.

David was a man after God's own heart.
David was a man who worshipped God and praise him.
David was a man who humbled himself whenever he committed sin.



The mercy of God is over all his works and manifest to all those who fear him.

The mercy of God is new every morning.

The Mercy of God is everlasting.

The mercy of God is tender.

One of the names of God is MERCIFUL.

When God told Moses in Exodus 33:23" And I will take away mine hand, and thou shall see my back parts but my face shall not be seen.

When God God descended in Exodus 34: 5-6
" And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
And the LORD passed by before him and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, MERCIFUL and gracious, long-suffering and abundant in goodness and truth '


One of the commonest prayers often mentioned in the book of Psalms is O LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME.

That was why David was a man after God's own heart because he always acknowledged his inadequacy and rely only on God for victory even though he was a great and skillful fighter in the field of battle.

MERCY CAN DO IT.

Let's read the popular story of Blind Bartimaeus:

Mark 10:46-52 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Lastly, always remember that MERCY OF GOD DO IT, if you can cry for mercy.

Prayer point: Oh God, My Father, be exceedingly merciful unto me, my family, my church and my nation in Jesus Christ name. Amen

Proverbs 3: 5 -6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; lean not into thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Amen.
