We were glaringly lied to...but wait for Lai Mohammed. He'd be like

"Don't be deceived, that is not Mr President's real face oooo"

How ironic this sounds today.

This is one of Buhari's promises when he ran as President on the platform of ANPP in 2003. Today, 13 years later, it seems he's trying to break a world record with numerous travels.

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world (1 Corinthians 11:31-32).

It’s not the ministry of the Holy Spirit to convict God’s people of sin. The Bible says the Holy Spirit will convict the world of sin, not the Church.

For the Church, the Bible says, “For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged” (1Corinthians 11:31). That means by our own spirits, we can tell when we’ve done something wrong, and our own spirits will judge us. We let our spirits judge us, so that we might not be judged of the Lord. Your spirit has the nature of God.

When you do wrong, what you need is to act on the Word of God: receive forgiveness. You don’t ask for forgiveness, which is where a lot of people miss it. The Bible didn’t say that you ask for forgiveness; rather, it says in Hebrews 4:16 , “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Did you notice it doesn’t say, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, and ask for mercy?” Instead, it says “to obtain,” that is, collect it.

You may have done something wrong and prayed to God to forgive you, and in your heart, you knew He forgave you. Some days later, the guilt of what you did weighs down on your mind and it seems as though He didn’t quite forgive you, so you find yourself asking for forgiveness again. The truth is, He isn’t responsible for the accusation you felt in your mind, because it’s not part of His ministry to convict you of sin.

Jesus is your advocate with the Father. Thus, when you say, “Father, I receive forgiveness for what I did,” immediately, you’re forgiven. The Bible says He is faithful and just to forgive us, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). It didn’t say He’s quick to judge us and convict us. Your spirit does that; but God is greater than your spirit (1 John 3:20-21).

He Doesn't Convict You Of Sin - Monday, February 29

He Brought Us Out, To Himself - Sunday, February 28th .

Pastor Chris

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:12-13).

The word translated "delivered" above is the Greek "rhuomai," which means to pluck and bring to yourself. You know, you can pluck something and let it fall; or place it somewhere. However, it's different when you pluck it and take it to yourself. It means to rush something out of where it is, and pull it to yourself.

That's what God did with us. He didn't just "pluck" us out of the domain of darkness, He brought us out to Himself! He rushed you out of the power, the dominion, the control, the jurisdiction, the authority of darkness, and pulled you to Himself; to absolute safety.

You've been delivered from the control of darkness. Darkness represents evil, evil powers and all their works. It represents all that's destructive, everything that makes a lie, that works against the purposes of God, that's negative to you, including Satan's dominion. You've been plucked out of all such influences, and brought unto God.

You're not under Satan's jurisdiction; he has no authority over you; he can't decide what happens to you. You don't function under his jurisdiction, because you've been plucked out of his domain. Is it sickness that's attacking your body? Is fear trying to take a hold of you? Is it fear of failure, fear of darkness, fear of the future, or any other kind of fear? These all belong to the domain of darkness, and you've been delivered from them all! Don't be afraid of financial failure; fear isn't allowed in the kingdom of Christ where you belong; it's out-lawed.

It doesn't matter what you're going through, in the mind of God, you were plucked out of it. He's already done it. You don't need deliverance from the devil; no! Notice the tenses; it says, "Who hath delivered us from the dominion of darkness and hath translated us...." The word "translated" means "transferred"; He has transferred us; we're not in the process, we're not on our way to glory land; no. We were born there. Halleluiah!

Confession...
I am not under Satan'sjurisdiction; he has no authority over me, and cannot decide what happens to me. I dwell in the Kingdom of God's "love Son"; the realm of health, wealth, prosperity, and life eternal, soaring on the wings of the Spirit, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Build Your Spirit by Speaking in Tongues - Saturday, February 27

Pastor Chris

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself... (1 Corinthians 14:4).

For you to experience appreciable spiritual growth, you must speak in tongues often. Praying in tongues is an effective means of spiritual communication with the Lord; it transcends the natural mind or intellect (1 Corinthians 14:14). You’re stirred when you speak in tongues, the anointing wells up like currents from your spirit.

According to our opening verse, you edify yourself when you speak in tongues. “Edify” derives from the Greek word “oikodomeo,” which means to construct or build up, much in the same sense as building or constructing an edifice. The idea given to us by the Spirit of God is that when we speak in other tongues, we build up ourselves, like an edifice, brick by brick, as you would a physical structure (Jude 1:20).

In Acts 20:32, Paul said to the brethren at Ephesus “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up....” Connecting this with our text lets us know that speaking in tongues works in conjunction with the Word to build your spirit. If you want to grow stronger spiritually, not only should you study and listen to God’s Word, you should also speak in tongues frequently.

The Bible says, “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost” (Jude 1:20). Speaking in other tongues is therefore a necessary requirement for your spiritual growth and upliftment. If you’re born again and have received the Holy Spirit, you can and should speak in tongues frequently. You don’t need to wait for special prayer times; wherever you are, speak in tongues. It will condition and programme your spirit for the life of success and dominion.

Prayer...
Dear Father, my life is transformed, and my spirit is conditioned for success, dominion and victory as I speak in other tongues. I’m catapulted to higher realms of glory, strengthened with your miracle-working ability in my spirit, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

He Qualified Us - Friday, February 26

Pastor Chris

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12).

Our opening scripture tells us that God has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. By your own ability, you couldn't qualify; by your parent's ability you couldn't qualify; by your earthly nationality, you couldn't qualify; by your words and actions, you couldn't qualify. He qualified you in Christ Jesus; He made you fit to be an associate of the God-kind. He qualified you to be an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ.

This means you shouldn't have the poverty mentality; you should have no sense of need or lack, because your Father owns everything. Take for instance, little kids who know their parents have and will give them anything; they rarely ask for anything from other kids. They wouldn't steal or covet something that belongs to other kids, because they know they can get whatever they want from their parents.

However, the child whose parents never give anything is the one that's more likely to steal or covet a toy that belongs to another child.
You belong to the One who made and owns all things, and He's made you heir of all things. The Bible says, "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue" (2 Peter 1:3). Ephesians 1:11 tells us that in Christ, you "...have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will." These are no promises, but present-hour realities. Therefore, celebrate your inheritance in Christ.

You celebrate your inheritance by giving thanks to God for the things He's done for you through Christ Jesus. Celebrate your salvation, divine health, prosperity, peace, and righteousness; celebrate God's blessings in your life. You didn't do anything to qualify for His blessings; He qualified you. Ephesians 2:9 says, "Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Prayer...
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for qualifying me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. I have no consciousness of need, because you've granted me all that pertain to life and godliness. By faith, and with joy, I draw from the wells of salvation, having all sufficiency in all things, and abounding in every good work, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

2 Peter 1:3-4
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

You said "there's Poverty is Christ"?

Isn't that an aberration?...

Kindly explain 2 Corinthians 8:9 for me.


NB:
When Jesus said we'd always have the poor amongst us, He was referring to the fact that folks (even Christians) will still wallow in ignorance... Hence their poverty.


Did you read what I wrote about a church Jesus spoke to, He acknowledged their poverty and even said "though you're rich".

What did Jesus mean? Why didn't He change their poverty status.. But told them, they'd suffer more because the devil's after them?

Fruitful And Increasing In The Knowledge Of God  - Wednesday , February 24th.
 
Pastor Chris

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10).

Gods will is that youre fruitful in every good work, and while at it, increasing in the knowledge of God. For some Christians, the more they make progress in their job, business, or career, the less time they devote to spiritual things. Their knowledge of God begins to wane, because theyre suddenly too busy to go to Church or study Gods Word. That should never be your story. 

Our opening verse says, That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10). God wants you to be fruitful in your job, in your academics, and in every good work. Dont be amongst those who only go to Church when they face challenges; then the moment they receive a miracle and things change, they forget the One who made it possible.

Your commitment to God, His Word, and the Church must be first, and absolute. The lesser is included in the greater; as you commit yourself to the Lord, and His Word, taking your Church attendance and other spiritual activities seriously, youll certainly be fruitful and productive in other areas of your life. 3 John 1:2 says, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

To prosper means to be fruitful and productive. Here, He deals with both your natural and spiritual wellbeing. As you prosper in your finances, in your health, in your relationships, family, etc., He also wants you to prosper in your knowledge of God. He wants your revelation of Him to keep increasing. Thats how His grace and peace are multiplied in your life: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2).

Keep increasing in the knowledge of God by meditating on the Word. The result is that youll be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, always in blossom, and prospering in everything you do (Psalm 1:3). What a life!

Prayer...
Dear Father, your Word is food to my spirit, and by it, I prosper in all things and at all times, bearing fruits unto righteousness. Im like a tree planted by the rivers of water, always in blossom, and making progress with giant strides, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Luke 6:20-21 Then he looked up at his disciples and said: 'Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 'Blessed are you who ar
e hungry now, for you will be filled. 'Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
Mark 10:21-22 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.
Luke 14:12-14 He said also to the one who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

malvisguy212:
you need to calm down lady.

Hey buddy!

Let her keep up.. it's but for a moment.

..but do you know there was a church in the bible, that Jesus knew of their poverty, and went on and told them "I know of your works and tribulation AND poverty, even though you are rich..."

He didn't change the poverty status of that Church ... He just passed His message, and even told them, they'd suffer more sef, that they should not fear.... He told the to be faithful unto death and he would give them a crown of life.Why didn't HE change their financial situation?

It was the duty of that church to change their poverty status.. for ALL things are theirs...

nynbrada:
Bro. Gombs, don't you think that a Christian that has done some of the afore mentioned things you talked about e.g, giving, praying and confessing the word of God and yet nothing seem to happen.

Don't you think the problem may lie in the fact that:

1. Active and revelatory knowledge of "faith" is not in place.

Because it is spiritually impossible to sow a seed financially and water those seeds with prayer and confession of the word by active faith and not get a result.

True... Some sow, and expect God to be a vending machine, they wait for a return on investment, and some hope on the money given and wait for the return. Some, then change their confessions.. some just do it because other is, they have no knowledge of what they are doing or why. Some, doesn't know how faith works.. so many reasons. That's why we teach and preach.

Like you know these spiritual principles/laws are more sure like any known law of physics.

not entirely

So i personally believe that if any Christian had done the above things you talked about and yet no result, then it can be easily put down to poor conception and understanding of what naked and active faith is all about.

i concur

2. It could also be as a result of poor grasping of spiritual timing.
Seeing that many a time the preachers of prosperity makes it look like if you give now you will instantly reap whatever you have sown.

You're veering off now. What do you mean by 'Preachers of Prosperity'?

And these quick fix attitude being progagated by some of them pastors doesn't help the young Christians in understanding how to divinely wait for your seeds to germinate, grow and bear fruits.

That's why we teach. Have you taken time to teach these?
I mean, I'm here teaching, some are here trying to scatter... Imagine of those of us with knowledge of these things teach it so much so that we boot out the lies of the devil... like "God chose some people to be poor".

Ever wondered why the tithes debate kinda died of? The vehement attack on Pastors? If you've been on NL long enough, you'd know some of us put an end in the reasoning of some folks about these things... and we got personal messages of gratitude for it.

Remember every seed grows at its own circle of growth. So there must be a place of divine timing and patience.

divine timing and patience... Mind explaining more with scriptures.. the term "Divine Patience" and "Diving Timing"?

Heb 6:12 - That ye be not slotful, but followers of them who through FAITH AND PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISE.

Like you can see faith and patience[divine waiting and timing] is crucial if one wants to operate in this DIVINE ECONOMY.

No o... don't turn that scripture upside down. See the Message translation
Don’t drag your feet. Be like those who stay the course with committed faith and then get everything promised to them.

My bro. You can now see and understand why a Christian may not appropiate some of his/her divine blessing that should come through the principle of giving and receiving.

Also note that when these two ingredients are not in place than a young Christian may start murmuring and complaining and hence start making the wrong confessions thereby invalidating the previous confessions of faith.

very true

And these is like sowing a seed, watering it and going again to uproot the same seed and doing these over and over again, and still expects to reap a harvest from same seed. It is spiritually impossible.

exactly

I think this is where lots of folks will misunderstand you and hence see your write-up as heretical and i think we should tone down in the way we present these message.

but... It's the truth of God's word. No point tining down the truth... That's the devil's thought. How can i be one with Jesus, the heir of all things, a joint-heir, and hence impossible for me to be poor...and you still tell me to tone down that truth?

if you think it is a lie, provide scriptures... Jesus made his kids rich, therefore a Christian is not the one trying to be rich, but one who's discovering His inheritance. For goodness sakes He said " All things are yours". Should i tone that down too?

And not make it look like - you cannot be poor as a Christian and if you are then something is wrong.

I already said it up... If you're poor, it should be a choice you made (like Paul), you shouldn't be poor because of the influences and circumstances of the elements of this world.

Even though i understand your drivel, yet we've got to tone down the way it is presently being served. Anything other than a mild presention in outlook will not suffice

It's the truth. It shouldn't be toned down.

My brother i've been blessed by this Op of yours and i hope God's children will in faith and humilty profit from it as well.
And not let all these dumb atheistard discourage them with their doomed Ahitophel counsel like comments.

Use God's Mirror - Wednesday, February 23

Pastor Chris

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed (James 1:23-25).

Israel, in the Old Testament, was called to obey the law. But as Christians, we’re called to do the Word, we practise the Word. It’s called the “mirror principle.” The Word of God is a mirror, and anyone who hears the Word and doesn’t do it, (notice He didn’t say “and doesn’t obey it”), it’s like a man who sees himself in a mirror and when he turns away, forgets who he is. Which means the one who does the Word is the one who looks at himself in the mirror and remembers his identity.

God’s Word says, “You’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”; your response, therefore, should be, “Yes, that’s who I am! I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.” That’s what God’s mirror shows you to be. When you turn from that mirror, keep the picture in your mind, and keep saying what the Word says. The necessary result is that you will live as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

The same principle applies to your health; the doctor may have looked into your body, and seen a mass, diagnosing it to be cancerous. They turned on the wrong light. They’re seeing the wrong reflection, because they’re using the wrong mirror. The Word of God is the mirror of God, and it’s also the true light. It reveals the truth of who you are, what you have, and all that you can do in Christ.

Therefore, refuse to use the wrong light to assess your body or situation. Use the Word; the mirror of God. That mirror shows that you’re perfected in Christ, and that you’re the glory of God. The mirror shows that you can do all things through Christ, and no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper. The mirror shows that you’re eternally triumphant, and can never be disadvantaged.

Examine your life, and your situation with God’s Word only; accept only the image and reflection of you that God’s mirror shows you.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I live in, and by, the truth of your Word; thereby, setting myself up for an eternal journey of glory, success, victory, and prosperity. Your Word produces in me the fruit of what it talks about; causing the circumstances of my life to align with your will, purpose and destiny for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

However, if you've been taught right, you'll think right, and the result of that is, you'll talk right. Moreover, when you talk right, you'll act right. When you talk right and act right, your life will turn out right.

If you must be poor, let it be your Choice, not being poor by the influences and circumstances of the elements of this world.

Op thanks for sharing. This is better news in the wake of our sliding currency and constricting economy.

Yeah.. our economy is not of this world... Remember Isaac?Joseph?

It's a worrisome trend I see these days, and it makes me wonder. Some folks wait on God to make them rich or successful, and all they did was to visit churches, make confessions and maybe get excited at what the preacher said about God, with regards blessing His children financially.

A large group of Christians want divine favor and don't even don't even mind if they really deserve what they're hoping for. We just want to get what we haven't worked for. We fill up churches & camps everyday, crusade, finance meetings etc for unmerited favor, overnight success, etc. We expect a miracle on anything finance, without doing what he says about finances, like savings and other principles the bible spoke of.

Now, there are miracle meetings where ministers of God prayed to God for 'miracle monies', and boooom... these miracles did happen (Whether some us believe that or not, is immaterial here). These are exceptional cases, and obviously, one cannot bank on these forever. God has got principles in His Word, and He sticks to every bit of it, whether we know these principles or not.

Down the line, because alot of Christians don't know God's financial principles, and after so long a time in churches, and giving, paying their tithes, making confessions etc, they end up broke or frustrated or both. They quickly blame Pastors for 'deceiving' them, or on a grand scale, they blame God, for not "picking their calls"

see what the good book wrote

Jeremiah 5:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.

notice the reason for their poverty.
1. foolishness
2. lack of knowledge of God's ways

Ok, fine, we've given in church, prayed, confessed, yet 'nothing'. It's still the same old story. We sometimes fail to see that God has made us rich in all ways imaginable, and therefore, it is legally impossible in the sight of God for Christians to be poor.

When we received salvation in Christ Jesus, we received an inheritance, whether we knew it or not. Jesus didn't come to save us for nothing, He came to save us for a purpose, which is to bring us into fellowship, hence the inheritance. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a christian to be poor, a christian can only be IGNORANT of his riches, because to be a christian, is to be in ONENESS with Jesus Christ, and therefore a joint-heir with Jesus. This is why describing a Christian as "poor" is a misnomer.

Proverbs 13:18 The Complete Jewish Bible
18 Poverty and shame are for him who won't be taught , but he who heeds reproof will be honored.

Therefore, the only thing that keeps a Christian in poverty, is his ignorance. If then we now know we're rich in Jesus Christ, the next thing is knowing His financial principles.


God's Word tells us to
1. Give, and receive
2. It tells us to save
3. it tells us to work, or we won't have what to give/eat

In other words, it tells us to be financially smart. Get the knowledge of the word, know what the Word says about your finances, activate them, and you'd marvel at God's provision for you.

Job 36:11 New Living Translation (NLT)
11 “If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives. All their years will be pleasant.

Prosperity is a blessing. Walk in it. Know the Word for yourself.

amen

The Knowledge Of His Will -
Monday February 22

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Colossians 1:9).

The word translated " knowledge " above is the Greek "Epignosis" ; a special kind of knowledge. It actually means precise, accurate, and absolute knowledge that can only come by revelation; it's the kind of knowledge that comes from God's Spirit.

Not many have the knowledge of God's will for their lives. Not many function with wisdom and spiritual understanding. They're hoping that they're functioning in God's will; hoping that things will turn out right, but the Spirit's desire is that you be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. This will stand you out, and make you a wonder to your world, because you won't think or reason like the natural man.

Consider Jesus: a man was brought to Him, who was born deaf and dump. When Jesus saw him, He didn't respond like others would have responded, on the basis of their limited, earthly understanding. He didn't say, "You know, he was born that way; there's nothing anyone can do for him" ; no! He had a different understanding; He had spiritual insight. He knew what led to the problem, and how to fix it.

The Bible says "...he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain" (Mark 7:33-35). You couldn't find that in the hospital, the laboratory, or through science. This was spiritual understanding expressed. Jesus knew that life, human life, is spiritual.

This is how God expects us to live. Your thought pattern, perception of everything and of every situation should be from God's standpoint, not man's. He wants you to have spiritual insight; knowing what to do at all times; knowing His will and functioning accordingly at all times. This happens through meditation on the Word, and fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

Prayer...
Dear heavenly Father, as I meditate on the Word today, the eyes of my understanding are enlightened to know your will and purpose, and walk accordingly. Grace and peace are multiplied to me today, through the knowledge of your Word, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
