Sometimes it happens even after fasting.Does it means that God do nolonger hears my prayers? Am very very sad right now. Please i sincerely need your help.
Thank you.
You need deliverance and learn to discipline yourself with food. Make sure you read your Bible before sleeping , the purpose of those demons feeding you when you sleep is to weaken you spiritually

judedwriter:


I have been through RCCG and their Bible College. This is what you must know:

1. The church does not recruit full time pastors like other missions.

2. To be a full time pastor at the church you must be a full member,

Serve faithfully for some years as a worker,

complete your Bible College and discipleship courses,

be ordained as a deacon and serve faithfully for some years,

be ordained as an assistant pastor and serve faithfully for some years.

and lastly be chosen as a full pastor.

This is totally false the church does recruit full time pastor's and they are well paid.

Their fees are affordable and you will be given quality spiritual education . And God will also test you through so many things. After completing your course you are required to serve the mission for one year if you want to work with Rccg and if you aren't working with them you can go back to your mission and the experience gathered there will help you a lot. Also you will meet students from other denomination there as well. Above all be spiritually sensitive. Peace

[b]Date :. 11-05-2020


*Theme : The heavenly race*

*Read :. Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us*.
*12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God*.

Memorise : *Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea*.


*Thought for the day: set your heart on things above*.

There is no doubt that there is a place called heaven where God is dwelling(Isa 66 vs 1a).
And he has prepared a mansion for those who believe and are doers of his word(John 14 vs 1-3& James 1vs 22-24).
However, one *VITAL* question all believers must ask from the Lord is.
*Where am I in this race? .Have I not been disqualified*? Have I not lost focus? *Am I still laying up my treasures in heaven*?
In the year 2009 ,I was a Sunday School teacher in my parish in Lagos and I asked God a question. *Where am I in this race to heaven? *Have I even started the race at all*? And that night he showed me a revelation, in the revelation I saw everyone in my parish running a race like a marathon but I was the last person in the race, and I woke up. What!!! I was surprised that as a Sunday school teacher, i was the last in the race, because as a teacher I thought I should be in the first, second or third but alas I was the last. That is why you must ask this question today.Where am I in this race to heaven?
The Bible says in *Matthew 19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first*.
*Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9 vs 24: Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one recieveth prize?* So that ye may obtain.
With the way you are running, are you going to receive any prize?
Furthermore, in *1 Corinthians 9 vs 26: *I therefore so run , not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air*.
*Vs 27: But I keep under my body bring it into subjection*......
*Has your body, and your appetite for *food*, *fashion* and the love of *money* not disqualified you?

In conclusion, make an amendment and get back in the race.

Assignment:
1. Be focus on your own race

*Prayer points*:

1. Father if I have been disqualified from the heavenly race show me your mercy in Jesus name.

Religion / The Voice Of The Accuser by goodshepherd123(m): 6:06am On May 10, 2020
Capsule of liberty
Daily devotional

*Date* :. *10-05-2020*

*Theme* : *The voice of the accuser*.

*Read*: *John 8 vs 1-11*


*Memorise* : *Rev 12 vs 10*.
" *And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night*
"


It was established yesterday,that the voice of grace spoke on behalf of the woman caught in the act of adultery. But a careful look at this story shows us that the voice of the accuser,came before the voice of grace spoke.
This word *ACCUSER* can be found in the new testament which in Greek means
_kategoros_, that is, a prosecutor, or plaintiff in a lawsuit, or one who speaks in a derogatory way of another .

*John 8 vs 4-5*:
*They said unto him,Master ,this woman taken in adultery,in the very act*.
*Vs 5*: *Now Moses in the law commanded us ,that such should be stoned : but what sayest thou*.

However, the voice of grace is always louder than the voice of the accuser. It is important to note that the accuser could be accusing us legally or falsely.
If he is accusing us legally then we already have an advocate that can speak for us :
*1 John 2 vs 1*: *My little children,these things write I unto you,that ye sin not*.And if any man sin,we have an *ADVOCATE* with the father,Jesus Christ the righteous.
To illustrate further, one night I was praying in my living room, suddenly the Lord opened my eyes and I saw this black devil beside me.And I asked from the Lord. Who is this and what is he doing beside? And Lord made me to know that it is the devil and that he was accusing of sin I committed,while in 400level. As at this time I haven't given my life to Christ, there was a sister who had extra year, because of Math 103 which was calculus. This sister had been having carry over in the course since 100,so she begged me and I went and wrote the exams for her and by God's grace she passed. Glory be to God because that devil was silenced on that day by the blood and by the *knowledge* of the truth.
*Proverb 11 vs 9b: ...through knowledge shall the just be delivered*.

Furthermore, this same voice is still speaking today, either to accuse us falsely or legally.

That why I pray for you that any voice of the *accuser* speaking against you will be silenced forever in Jesus name.
_In conclusion, if you have not given your life to Christ then you are legal prisoner of the devil_. The Bible says in *1 John 3 vs 8a*: *He that commiteth sin is of the devil* repent today so that the Jesus the advocate can speak on your behalf.

*Assignment* :
1. Study the truth and know it.

[/b]Prayer points[/b]:
1. Father every voice accusing me legally or falsely silenced them today in Jesus name.

*.

*Theme : The Voice of grace*.


*Read : John 8 vs 1-11*.


*Memorise : Titus 2 vs 11*.
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men

There has always been this controversy whether grace is a person or a thing. Well I am glad to announce to you that it is both. Since grace is a person , it therefore means it must have a voice, and if it has a voice then it can speak on your behalf when least expected or when you are already condemned.
The Bible says in *John 1vs 14*:
*And the word became flesh, and dwelt among us ,and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth*.
*Vs 16 : And of his fullness have we all received grace*.

From the above text he was full of grace and was also a dispenser and distributor of grace.
The voice of grace [/b]spoke on behalf of that woman, that she was not condemned,provided she didn't return back to her former sins. Also the voice of grace silenced all her accusers and brought an end to her condemnation.
The Bible went on to say in *Roman 8 vs 1-2: There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus,who walk not after the flesh,but after the spirit*.
*Vs 2: For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death*.
Therefore I *decree* that the voice of grace will speak on your behalf today in Jesus name.
In conclusion, the grace of God that salvation has appeared to all men teaching them deny ungodliness and worldly lust- *Titus 2vs 11-12*. Repent and accept Christ by saying the following prayer.


Lord Jesus I come to you today I am sinner please forgive me of my sins,from today I accept you as my Lord and savior.Amen

*[b]Assignment
*:
1. Look for a way to serve God.
2. Don't frustrate the voice of grace today.

*Prayer points
*:
1. Father let your voice of grace speak over my life ,business,marriage and ministry in Jesus name.

*Date : 04-05-2020*

Theme: Don't be left behind

*Read* : *1 Thess 4 vs 13-18*

4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Memorise*: *1 pet 4 vs 7
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer
.

Thought for the day:The end is nearer than you think.

One event we all need to prepare for is the rapture. Rapture is the sudden catching up or sudden translocation of holy and faithful believers to meet with the Lord in the air.
A careful observation of event around us and the world at large should make us realize the end is nearer.
Last week the Lord showed me a revelation that shows that truly the end is near. It was in a dream in which I saw an angel in the sky holding a trumpet and was about to blow it. And two other angel come to me and they were encouraging me to pray.

Furthermore yesterday another *revelation* was shown to me of a certain nation making nuclear bomb and they are planning to release it. If this bomb is released it will be difficult to stay at home or go out.
Beloveth,let us be moderate in all things the end is near.

In conclusion, if you haven't given your life to Christ ,you will be left behind.So repent and accept Jesus today.

*Assignment:*
1. Draw closer to God everyday
2. Make no provision for the flesh.

*Prayer points:*
1. Father whenever the trumpet will sound please don't leave me behind in Jesus name.

Religion / Are You Spiritually Sensitive? by goodshepherd123(m): 6:04am On May 02, 2020

Daily devotional

Date : 02-05-2020

Theme :Are you spiritually sensitive?

Read : 1 Cor 2 vs 10-16

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Memorise : Isa 11 vs 3
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:


Spiritual sensitivity is a quality of life, produced by constant fellowship with the holy spirit. It is that unique awareness, and ability to tune in to heavens frequency and know for the mind of God, for the season you are passing through. Oftentimes there might not be a dream, and you might not hear a voice. A lack of spiritual sensitivity has caused many to miss their Isaac(Gen 18vs 1-33) ,spouse( Gen 24vs 12-24), blessing ( Gen 27vs 1-34), breakthrough, and manifestation ( Rom 8 vs 19).
I pray for you that you will not miss your set time in Jesus name. (Psalm 102 vs 13)

1 Cor 2 vs 14 : " But the natural man recieveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him ; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For those who are spiritually sensitive , you would know the time and season we are now are perfectly ordained by God. Although many might be claiming so many conspiracy theory and the likes. There is no doubt that God is still in charge and he does as he pleases.
Psalm 115 vs 3 says * But our God is in the heavens he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

Without being spiritually sensitive we are bound to depend on suspicion, natural intelligence, educational awareness etc.

In conclusion, if you haven't given your life to Christ you are in danger , because the end is nearer than you think.

Assignment :
1. Use this period of lockdown wisely
.

Prayer points:
1.Father help to be spiritually sensitive in Jesus name.
2. Father don't allow me to miss my set time in Jesus name.

Theme : Keep Learning

Read : Dan 1 vs 17-20

1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
1:18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
1:19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
1:20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.

Memorise:
2 Timothy 3 vs 14: But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

Thought for the day: The more you learn, the more you earn.

Learning is the permanent change in a persons knowledge or behaviour due to experience,studying or information.

It was Benjamin Franklin that said ” an investment in knowledge pays the best interest”. A white man once said ” if you want to hide anything from a black man ,put it inside a book” . And may I inform you whatever you don’t learn today, you will pay for it tomorrow. In other to fulfill destiny keep on Learning everyday.

The Bible says in psalm 25 vs 9b: …….the meek will he teach his way. Those who will become great in the kingdom are learners.
Beloveth, you can learn through the following ways :

1. Studying: 2 Timothy 2 vs 15
2. Observation: prov 6 vs 6-8
3. Experience. : Gen 30 vs 27
4. From the Bible:Romans 15 vs 4

Beloveth, my counsel for you is this keep on learning, because will learning will transform you from being a MEDIOCRE to an AUTHORITY in your career or ministry.

Assignment :
1. Create an habit of learning daily.
2. Study and improve yourself because until you have improved you can never be approved.

Prayer points:
1. Father don’t allow me to learn from my own mistakes but that of others in Jesus name.

Religion / Maintaining The Hedge by goodshepherd123(m): 8:37am On Apr 28, 2020
Capsule of liberty
Daily devotional

Date : Tuesday 28-04-2020.

Theme : Maintaining the hedge

Read :Job 1 vs 10

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

Memory verse :

Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.


Yesterday we learnt that the hedge around us could be removed by God,when we are unfruitful and disobedient. Although the edge around job was removed because of trials, but before the trials job maintained the hedge by fearing God,uprightness,and hating evil. However, our focus is to look at two things we can learn from job,so that we can maintain the hedge around us.

1. Job was an intercessor:
To intercede simply means to pray on the behalf of someone.And job was fond of doing this continually. God is often looking for someone to stand in the gap of behalf of another so that he can stop the destroyer. How often do you stand in the gap for your spouse, children,nation ,leaders?

Job 1:5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job CONTINUALLY.

2. He hates evil: It was recorded that job hates EVIL. There is difference between hating evil and tolerating evil. We must understand that we are to hate evil,it must be tolerated.
Proverb 17 vs 13: Whoso rewardeth evil for good,evil shall not depart from his house.
Rewarding evil for good can break the hedge around us but by consistently doing good to those who are doing evil to us the hedge will be maintained.
Furthermore, the Bible says in

James 4vs 17: Therefore to him that knoweth to good and doeth it not ,to him it is a sin.

Doing good include being kind to our neighbor,rembering the poor and also preaching the gospel and warning all and sundry that the trumpet will soon sound,while refusal to preach the gospel will mean we know what is good and we are not doing it.

Ezekiel 33:7 So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
33:8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

In conclusion, if you have not given your life to Christ, there is no hedge around you. Come to Jesus today.

Assignment :
1. Share the gospel consistently.
2. Always stand in the gap for you friends and family.

Prayer points :
1. Father help so that I can please you today in Jesus name.
2. Father if the hedge around has been broken by your mercy sustain me in Jesus name.

Religion / Dont Break The Hedge by goodshepherd123(m): 4:28am On Apr 27, 2020
Capsule of liberty
Daily devotional

Date : Sunday 27-04-2020.

Theme : Don't break the hedge

Read :Job 1 vs 10

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

Memorise : Eccl 8 vs 10

"He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him".


A hedge is a wall or fence built around a precious property or possession so as to prevent damage or harm. Because we are precious and important to God,he has made an hedge around all his children.( Zech 2vs 5 ,Psalm 91 vs 1-2, psalm 34 vs 7, psalm 104vs 14-15,psalm 125vs 1-2).

However, often times this divine hedge are broken down by God , because of the following:

1. Disobedience : The Bible in 1 king 13 that a man of God was sent on an errand with an instruction not to eat bread or drink wine but an old prophet decieved him and he disobeyed God. Consequently, the hedge around his life was broken down. The Bible says in 1 Kings 13 vs 24: a lion met him and slew , it was the same lion that David and Samson tore to pieces that slew this prophet.why? Because the hedge had been broken down.

2). Unfruitfulness- Isa 5 vs 1-5 says that a vineyard was planted and had everything but brought wild grapes. As a result the hedge was broken down.
The vineyard had the following:
a. It was planted on a fruitful hill.
b. It was fenced.(well protected from destroyers)
c. The stones were gathered out.
e.It was planted with the choicest vine.
d. A tower was built in the midst.
f. A wine press was there in as well.

Despite all these resources it still brought forth wild grapes,therefore the hedge was broken down.

3. Lust of the eyes(pornography):Lust of the eyes is the electric current of sin running in your body while pornography is images that stimulates sexual lust. It could be paintings or pictures or videos as well.

Each time you watch pornography you are simply sending messengers to demons that they should a have sexual intercourse with you.(wet dreams)

The Bible says in Ezekiel 23
Vs 14-21(NIV):

In verse 14.... she saw men portrayed on walls....
Later in verse 16: As soon as she saw them she lusted after them and sent messengers to them.
Verse 17: Then the Babylonians came to her ,to the bed of love and in their lust they defiled her......


Vs 18 (CEV)" She let everyone see her naked body and didn't care if they knew she was a prostitute. That is why I turned my back on her just as I had done with her older sister".

So the hedge could be removed because of lust of the eyes and pornography. ...take note.

If you have not given your life to Christ ,you are exposed already repent and accept him today.

Assignment :
1. Repent of any act that drive God away from you.

Prayer points :
1. Father don't allow sin to have Dominion over me in Jesus name.
2. Father please surround me with your wall of fire in Jesus name.

Religion / Can God Recommend You? by goodshepherd123(m): 9:27am On Apr 25, 2020
Topic:Can God recommend you
#Read :. John 1 vs 29-33.

Memory verse :Mathew 3 vs 17.

”And lo a voice from heaven saying,this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased”.

# Thought for the day : “Destiny decays when character declines”

The word recommendation simply means to make somebody or something attractive, suitable , good or qualified for a particular job or post. It could also be used to present an individual as being responsible or capable.

After spending 30 years in being lockdown in his father’s workshop, suddenly a voice came from heaven to recommend Jesus Christ as his beloved son. After three weeks of being lockdown can God still recommend you? Are you still spiritually sensitive? Do you still hear his voice? Has the enemy not knockdown your anointing, prayerlife, studying, fasting, faithfulness etc . Someone said the excuses you give today are the nails the devil will use to nail you tomorrow” . So after the lockdown will God announce you or renounce you?

Furthermore , the Bible says the eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good. Proverb 15 vs 3

For God to recommend you must do the following:

1. Study : 2 Tim 2 vs 15
2. Be faithful : 1 cor 4vs 2
3. Be diligent : Prov 22 vs 29

If you have *NOT* given your life to Christ,you can’t be recommended.
Repent today, and bring forth fruits meet for repentance.

Mathew 3 vs 8 : Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance.

#Assignment :
1. Repent and bring forth fruits meet for repentance.

# Prayer points :

1. Father help me to be faithful in my service to you in Jesus name.

Religion / Lockdown But Not Knockdown by goodshepherd123(m): 9:54am On Apr 24, 2020
### Capsule of liberty devotional.

### Topic : Lockdown but not knockdown
### Read : Gen 39 vs 20-23
###Memory verse :2cor 3 vs 17.
### ” Now the lord is that spirit : and where the spirit of the Lord is there is liber ty”.

The word “lockdown” simply means the ,absence of liberty to move the way we normally do and general restriction of movement. While the word knockdown simply means a blow that knocks the opponent off his feet.

From our Bible reading we saw how Joseph was lockdown in prison for many years but God ensure he was not knockdown.
Why?
Because the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy and also gave him favour. ( Gen 39 vs 21)

The bible says the lord showed him mercy why? because he feared God.

### Psalm 33 vs 18: Behold the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him,upon t hem that hope in his mercy.

One night as i and family were about to sleep,suddenly God spoke to me that we have been SURROUNDED,so i peeped outside and i saw no thing with my physical eyes, so we prayed and slept. As soon as i slept i now saw that truly i have been surrounded by enemies and all manner of creature but surprisingly this long and mighty hands came out of heaven and carried me like a baby out of the midst of the enemies and took me to a safe place.

So you might have been lockdown physically,but i want to assure you that you cant be knocked down.
On the contrary if you are living in sin ,the Lord is far away from you .

##Proverb 15 vs 29: The lord is far from the wicked,but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

Repent and come to Jesus today and with him in you
no power can knock you down.

# Assignment :

1. Spend quality time with God today.
#Prayer points:
1. Father dont allow sickness to knock me down in
Jesus name.
2.Father show me your mercy today in Jesus name.
3.Father let me begin to swim in your favour in Jesus name.

Religion / The Power Of The Blessing by goodshepherd123(m): 6:48am On Apr 23, 2020
THEME : The power of the blessing
Read :. Gen 12 vs 1-3
Memory verse : Thus saith the lord,
As the new wine is found in the cluster,
and one saith,DESTROY it not: for a blessing
is in it; so will i do for my servants sakes;
that i may not destroy them all.

Thought for the day: The blessings of God
ensures your presevation.

The blessings of God is for your preservation,
and it is also a spiritual force that ensures you,
succees in the midst of adversity. To be blessed,
simply means the forces that are working for you,
are greater than the forces working against you.

It has been established from our memory verse,
that the blessing of God upon his servants will ensure
they are not destroyed.
The blessings of God,does preserve us from being,
by poverty and famine.
The bible says in proverb 10 vs 15: The rich mans
wealth is his strong city,and the destruction of the
poor is their poverty.
Indeed, povery is a destroyer and it usually manifest
when instruction from God are not obeyed or neglected.
May i inform you that ” Every instruction from God is for
the construction and preservation of your destiny”

The bible says in Genesis 12 vs 10: And there was famine
in the land…………., but because Abraham had obeyed Gods
instruction and he had been blessed he was preserved.
Despite the famine he didn’t become poor but became rich.

Gen 13 vs 2: And Abraham became rich in cattle,in silver,and in
gold. So he was divinely preserved from what was destroying others

Religion / The Power Of Instruction by goodshepherd123(m): 4:12am On Apr 22, 2020
Theme : The power of instruction

Read :. Gen 6 vs 13-16
Memory Verse : Prov 9 vs 9.
” Give instructions to a wiise man,and he will yet be wiser,teach a just man ,and he will increase in learning”

Thought for the day: Every divine instruction will always guarantee your deliverance from destruction.

Instruction simply means a detailed information about how something should be done or operated. The word instruct in Hebrew is “sakal” which means to guiiide wittingly , to prosper,to have wisdom and to have success.

God does sees the end from the beginning,he stands in the eternal presently.God has no past,present or future,he sees everything at one time.

Therefore he releases instruction to those he loves so as to preserve them and rescue them from destruction.
Noah was instructed to build an ark at the age of 500 years,at a time when there was no rain and it took him 100 years.The ark was constructed like a three story building with diffrent compartments for animals.Did you think he built it alone ? No he didn’t.
His obedience to this instructions saved him and his family and also preserved his generation. Do you obey divine instructions or those given by your parents? The instruction you argue with will never give the desired expectations.
A wise son heareth his fathers instructions…..prov 13 vs 1.

Assignment:

1). Obey every instruction given to you from God.

2). Repent of every act disobedience.

Prayer points :

1. Father if I am on the pathway of destruction please rescue me today in Jesus name.

Religion / Overconfidence by goodshepherd123(m): 6:08am On Apr 17, 2020
Theme : Overconfidence
Read: Judges 15 vs 11-13
Memory verse: 1cor 10 vs 12
Wherefore , let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Thought for the day: overconfidence always precede carelessness.

The story of Samson is good case study about overconfidence and carelessness. Making a comparison between David and Samson will make us understand why we must consistently put our confidence in the Lord.

proverbs 3 vs 26 : The Lord shall be thy confidence and shall keep thy foot being taken.

Did you know that samson only prayed two prayer points in his entire life. Judges 13-16

Why? Because he was overconfidence , whatever is making you pray lesser than you used to do is a pointer that you are becoming overconfident.

Compared to David said in Psalm 55 vs 17: Evening , and morning, and at noon , will i pray and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice

Many claim they are busy , but David was more busy than they could ever be. He was a king, warrior , psalmist, prophet… Yet he still had time to pray three times daily and praise God seven times daily.

Psalm 119 vs 164: Seven times a day do i praise thee because of the righteous judgements.

Overconfidence and prayerlessness is often a sign of pride.

One major reason you reason , you should desist from being overconfident can be found in

Proverbs 15 vs 25: The lord tears down the house of the proud……..(house in this verse means generation)

James 4 vs 6: But he giveth grace, wherefore he said God resisteth the proud………

Assignment:

1) Be prayerful.

2). Don’t be careless

Prayer points.

1). Father please dont allow me to be careless with any aspect of my life in Jesus name.

Religion / Re: What Is The Best Way To Fight A Witch by goodshepherd123(m): 1:49am On Nov 18, 2015
Witches are real , they manipulate people and oppress. And they kill the word craft means they have wisdom which they employ for evil purpose they do so many havoc. Through constant prayers you can overcome them and subdue them.They are of two types one is marine witches this group meet in water. They usually don't have conscience. Just to mention a few. The marine witches can divert blessings , death ,sickness , they also defy prayers except u pray very well. If u are filled with the holy spirit you will overcome them easily. Witches meet in a coven, they have a transportation system, they have a communication system , they have a altar, they have a throne . Prayer will overcome them using weapons of our warfare.

Religion / Relationship Between Glory And Holiness by goodshepherd123(m): 10:10pm On Nov 03, 2015
Glory is a scarce commodity in the last days, because glory and holiness are two inseparable friends that walk hand in hand. Glory is one of those things that are hard to define ,but simply put glory is the opposite of shame. In the book of Isa 60vs 1 the bible says gross darkness will cover the whole earth but those who are serving God will arise and shine for their light has come and light will illuminate and draw others to Christ. It is quite a tragedy that many desire glory but they don't want to serve the king of glory also they despise holiness as a lifestyle . So they go about manipulating and scheming in order to use a glory that doesn't belong to them , it will ultimately lead to their death and disgrace because God can't share his glory with those who are not ready to serve him..In conclusion the holy or righteous you are the more you are being changed from glory to glory. Embrace holiness as a character today.
Religion / Humility by goodshepherd123(m): 5:14pm On Oct 21, 2015
Some time ago we heard a short address by a young preacher during which he quoted the following, "If you are too big for a little place, you are too little for a big place." It is an odd rule of the kingdom of God that when we try to get big, we always get smaller by the moment. Humility pleases God wherever it is found, and the humble person will have God for his or her friend and helper always. "...Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility,for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." —1 Peter 5:5 Only the humble are completely sane, for they are the only ones who see clearly their own size and limitations. Egotists see things out of focus. To themselves they are large and God is correspondingly small, and that is a kind of moral insanity. "Lord, help me never to be too big for a little place. In humility let me serve and revel in You as my 'friend and helper always.' Amen." - Curled from Tozer on Christian leadership devotional.
Religion / Re: How Long Will I Pray! by goodshepherd123(m): 4:12pm On Oct 21, 2015
In the process of asking from God there are things you must note as a matured believer. First and foremost you must be patient with him , he is the king of kings so wait for as long as possible.
Secondly ask or pray in faith , you must believe that he has answered your prayers also you might need to humble yourself through fasting.
Learn how to give to the needy in the society and to genuine men of God as you give to the orphans, he will also have mercy on you.
Then look for scriptures that are relevant to your need according to John 15vs 7.
Lastly ask according to his will and purpose for your life.
