Anchor Scripture: For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water; whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. John 5:4 Blessed be the name of the Lord. The 'Pool of Bethesda' is the arena of divine encounters. The 'Pool of Bethesda' is the venue of solution and supernatural testimonies. Brethren, our 'Pool of Bethesda' is the location(physical and spiritual) where the solution-provider, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, meets us to solve our problems and put broad smiles on our faces. In John 5, the account of a man that had an infirmity for 38 years, and had relocated to the Pool of Bethesda, in earnest anticipation of receiving his healing through the angel's troubling of the waters, at a specific season. From his interaction with Jesus, we learnt that he had failed repeatedly to receive his healing, because he had no one to assist him to be the first to get inside the pool, whenever an angel came down to trouble it. By a divine ordinance, it was only the first person that got into the pool of Bethesda that got healed; the second fellow to get inside will remain the same – without getting healed. Without any shadow of doubt, this man would have been getting increasingly agitated and frustrated at his inability to be the first to get into the pool of Bethesda, but he encouraged himself to remain there. This man kept his hope alive, and did not leave the pool of Betheda, against all odds, hoping his day would come, and it came, albeit in a way he never envisaged. Why you must never leave your 'pool of Bethesda' If the sick man at the pool of Bethesda, had left the place just five minutes before the arrival of Jesus Christ, he would have missed the golden opportunity of a lifetime to be healed. HE never bargained for the arrival of Jesus Christ on the scene, to heal him, but Jesus Christ showed up, and out a glorious end to his misery of 38 years. Your 'pool of Bethesda' could be the church you attend, the ministry you are in, the man of GOD attached to you, or the serious Christian who is your neighbor, boss, co-worker, family member etc The critical lesson to be learnt is that we must remain at our 'pool of Bethesda' inspite of the discouragement and delays, we might be experiencing. We need to be cognizant of the fact that our miracles will only come to the 'Pool of Bethesda' and will not come to meet us at the comfort of our homes. The devil will fire the arrows of frustration, discouragement and hopelessness, to make us leave our 'Pool of Bethesda, in order to make us miss our miracles and breakthroughs. Let us exercise patience and fortitude, and remain at our 'Pool of Bethesda,' until our miracles will arrive, for they will surely arrive, in Jesus name. https://ransomedbychrist.com/index.php?topic=3185.new#new |
Anchor Scripture: For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 Blessed be the name of the Lord. We are not going to deny the fact that people actually derive pleasure from sinful activities, such as fornication, adultery, masturbation, pornography, partying, drunkenness, revellings, etc., but the question is, how long will these pleasures last? Sin – sexual sins, moral sins, emotional sins and every shade of sin, promises and actually delivers some form of pleasure and gratification, which continues to motivate and encourage people to keep subscribing to them. What most sinners, however fail to take into proper cognizance, is the temporary nature and terrible consequences of sin. The truth, which no man/woman can deny is that the pleasures of sin is temporal, and can be interrupted on earth through severe accidents, chronic diseases, and excruciating trauma, and will be eventually ended by death. The big problem is not the cessation of the pleasures of sin in the lives of sinful men/women; that is altogether a small for them to contend with. Let’s take for example, a man/woman that enjoyed the pleasures of fornication and adultery throughout their lifetime, spanning a total of 100 years. After death, he/she is unable to commit fornication or adultery again. Now, he/she must now receive the wages of sin. (Romans 6:23) He/she will not receive these dreaded wages for just 1 billion years, neither will it be for 1 trillion years, it’s forever – till eternity. What do these wages entail: being roasted in hot, unquenchable fire, non-stop, being eaten alive by scary worms, being deprived of water, food and other basic necessities, being tormented in outer darkness, without end. Now, let’s juxtapose the 100 years of sinful pleasure a sinner enjoys on earth, with over 1 trillion years of brutal and excruciating pains, being roasted in extremely hot sulphuric flames. My brother/sister, if you are part of those people saying there’s no such place as hellfire, no problem, just be patient till you die, then you will eventually see it for yourself, but it will be too late to repent! Now, with the comparison above, is it not very apparent that sinful men and women on earth, will only ‘enjoy’ the pleasures of sin for a relatively short time? The question you will need to answer is: is it worth it to ‘enjoy’ the pleasures of sin for 80-120 years, and pay for those sins after death, in excruciating pains and brutal torments for over 1 trillion years – till eternity? If your answer is, no, then the only way forward is to surrender your life to Jesus Christ today, for the salvation of your soul, and obey Him, till your last breath. If you sincerely love yourself, and do not want to be part of the “Had I known!” crew, after death, this is exactly what you will do now. GOD will help us in Jesus name. https://ransomedbychrist.com/index.php?topic=3183.msg3187#new |
Anchor Scripture: Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. Revelation 3:4 Blessed be the name of the Lord. Primarily, virgins(male and female) are very powerful and highly respected, in the realm of the spirit. As a youth, your virginity is synonymous with the pure and spotless white 'garment', GOD ALMIGHTY, gave to you when you were coming to this world. One of the best ways you can show your extreme ingratitude to GOD, and displease HIM, is by scooping very dirty, stinking and filthy sewage water, and spraying it on the sparkling white garment, GOD gave to you. Your pure white 'garment' represents your virginity, and the very dirty, stinking and filthy sewage water, represents sexual immorality/premarital sex. As a youth, when you start watching pornography, begin to masturbate, start handling, kissing and engaging in sex, you are rubbing very dirty, stinking and filthy sewage water, on your GOD-given white 'garment.' And you will have extremely tough questions to answer on the great day of judgment, if you fail to repent of your sins, before it's too late. As a youth, when you constantly engage in sexual immorality/premarital sex, your white garment is utterly stained, and you will become defiled in the realm of the spirit. When you get to this very low state, you have disqualified yourself from many lofty/beneficial positions that can only be given to people with undefiled white garments. At this point, you have become of little or no use for the glory of GOD, but of immense usefulness for the devil and his agents. Are you aware that those the devil uses, end up in hellfire, for eternal punishment? To avoid this great tragedy, say no to sexual immorality/premarital sex and other sins, to preserve your GOD-given white 'garment.' When you wait till your marriage night before having sexual intercourse with your spouse, Heaven honors you, and even the devil and his agents, will respect you. Your GOD-given potentials, talents and virtues, will remain intact and in a ready state, for your elevation and success in life. As a youth, keeping your virginity till marriage is one of the best, if not the best decision, you can ever make. May GOD give you the wisdom to key into this. Amen. https://ransomedbychrist.com/index.php?topic=2205.0 |
Anchor Scripture: Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Thou Christian lady/woman, be very sincere with yourself in answering this straight-forward question: is your dress that exposes your cleavage to the world, and makes the lustful imagination of men who are under the bondage of sexual demons, run wild, holy? To the 'Christian' women who have the audacity of wearing cleavage-barring clothes to church, are you happy of the fact that the devil is using you to divert the attention of men from GOD, to your cleavage? Are you competing with GOD for the attention of men, in HIS own house? Are you excited about the fact that your actions are making the demons of lust to find their evil assignment of firing and bombarding men with the arrows of lust, a lot easier? As a Christian, you are supposed and expected to be frustrating and thwarting the works of demons, but here you are, helping and aiding them. And you expect GOD to be happy with you and allow you to enter Heaven, after your death? Wake up, it's not going to happen! Heaven is not for those people calling themselves 'Christians' but assisting demons in opposing the kingdom of GOD. Repent and forsake your sinful ways, and commit yourself to Jesus Christ. Do it as soon as possible. Even now! https://ransomedbychrist.com/index.php?topic=3163.0 |
DanOkonkwo:GOD bless you for this! Sinners are perishing and Christians are being starved of the 'nutritious' word of GOD, but they have time to conform to the world by celebrating football, which belongs to the world and is passing away with the world. Jesus Christ is not happy with a majority of our churches today. No wonder Christians have little impact in our society today. The power of GOD cannot manifest in carnal Christians. |
On this earth, many sinners(even the most terrible ones) are living comfortable and luxurious lives. Many hardened sinners are enjoying good health, achieving academic success by earning degrees, attain excellence in the corporate world, have marital bliss, are having children, are building mansions, are having fleets of exotic automobiles, and are achieving great success in all the spheres of life. Infact, many sinners are more wealthy than genuine Christians. Therein lies the deception! Just because many hardened sinners have great riches and possessions, and are doing better than many Christians in many indices of life, they think all is well with them. Their thinking is that, if they can be doing so well without Jesus Christ, why do they now need Him? What do they need Him for? They look down pitifully on Christians who live holy lives, go to church and serve GOD faithfully, whilst still struggling financially. They sometimes mock them, most especially, when they come to them for financial aid. What hardened sinners do not realize is that the devil is wiser than them by a long stretch. They do not realize that the devil will internationally not attack their finances, and even help them to grow their wealth, in order to guide them to the fatal conclusion that they do not need Jesus Christ, for anything. When people declare with their mouth or through their conduct, that they do not need Jesus Christ for anything, they are at the mercy of the devil, who can kill them at anytime, he wishes to. And when he kills them – for he must kill them(except they repent) he will throw them into hellfire. In essence, the devil allows hardened sinners to be deceived and distracted by their wealth and well-being on earth, in order to make them turn their backs on Jesus Christ, and eventually perish in hellfire. On a light note, the devil allows them to enjoy and live in luxury for a few years on earth, to compensate for the billions and trillions of years, they will spend in torments and miseries in hellfire/lake of fire, after leaving the earth. Let every sinner know that all the wealth, good health, comfort and pleasures, they are enjoying one earth, will soon expire; they themselves will soon expire in hellfire, if they fail to repent and run to Jesus Christ, now! https://ransomedbychrist.com/index.php?topic=2386.0 |
Anchor Scripture: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of GOD? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, not idolaters, not adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of GOD 1 Corinthians 6:8 Blessed be the name of the Lord. In our anchor scripture, it is clearly stated that the unrighteous, will not inherit the kingdom of GOD. As a fraudster or yahoo-yahoo boy/girl, whose work is swindling people and using deceptive means to take other people's money, you are unrighteous and consequently, you have made yourself unfit to inherit the kingdom of GOD. If the devil had been deceiving you that all you need to do as a fraudster/yahoo-yahoo boy, is to donate money to churches, give to Pastors and do philanthropy to be in the good books of GOD, you have been 'abundantly' deceived. Even if you give a 100 percent of your ill-gotten wealth to orphanages and old peoples' homes, you will still be unfit to inherit the kingdom of GOD, if you remain a fraudster. While you are still breathing on earth, you need to take the bull by the horn, by forsaking your sinful ways and come to Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins. https://ransomedbychrist.com/index.php?topic=3138.0 |
Sinners have a fair and rational expectation that a born-again Christian should be markedly different from them. A sinner expects a born-again Christian to live above sin. Sinners expect born-again Christians to rebuke them when they lie, steal, commit sexual immorality, fight, dress immodestly, use profanities and commit various forms of atrocities. A sinner does not expect a born-again Christian to join him/her in participating in sinful activities. A sinner expects a born-again Christian to dress differently, talk differently, reason differently and act differently from them. In music, entertainment and other activities, a sinner does not expect to be on the same page with a born-again Christian. Ultimately, a sinner expects a born-again Christian to be operating on a high pedestal of holiness, righteousness, forthrightness, integrity, moral sanctity, sexual sanctity, fidelity and cordialiness. But when a sinner uses 'binoculars' to scan a man/woman that professes to be a born-again Christian, and sees those same sinful activities that holds him/her bondage, in the life of the so-called born-again Christian, they are utterly confused. Therefore, as someone that calls his/herself a 'born-again' Christian, that is still committing sin, you are one of the people bringing utter confusion into the life of sinners, and preventing their salvation. If you continue in this bad state, the judgment of GOD will eventually crash down on you. Repent today, and cease from being a stumbling block to sinners, who should give their lives to Jesus Christ. https://ransomedbychrist.com/index.php?topic=3169.msg3172#msg3172

Newlight777:You have said the plain truth. Anybody that has ears to hear should hear! For those saying there is no such thing as hellfire, it will be fatally catastrophic when you die and discover there is hellfire - when it will be too late! For those hardened unbelievers insisting there is no hellfire, no problem, we will all discover the truth when we die. The big problem, however, is that once you enter hellfire, there is no coming out! You better humble yourself now before death and hellfire will humble you by fire and by force! Those of us who have chosen to follow Jesus Christ at all cost, are not stupid. We will soon be vindicated. There's no question about that. |
Yes, without any shadow of doubt, being a born-again Christian that follows and applies the divine principles in the scriptures, is the main secret of the success of our marriage. Couples must learn to forgive and tolerate the 'tolerable' habits from each other. And ofcourse, couples must create time to have conversations and play(including physical plays ) to reduce and eliminate tension. Most importantly, couples must pray together, to protect their marriage from demonic attacks. Demonic attacks are responsible for the crash of many marriages today; you may choose not to believe this, but it does not change the fact that it is real. |
Whether anyone likes it or not, Jesus Christ will come for His saints. The fact that you do not believe it, will not stop it from happening. The fact that some people do not believe that a witch can summon someone on their evil mirror, stab the person and the person dies shortly afterwards, does not invalidate that truth. Even if the rapture does not meet us here on earth, we will all die and after death, head to Heaven or hell. Let the hardened sinners know that they will have themselves to blame after their death. As we speak, hardened sinners who are in hellfire are crying bitterly, being tormented by wicked demons and waiting for the great judgment day to be sentenced and thrown into the lake of fire. - to be punished forever. That is the while truth and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Is it fair ? The question you should answer is: what stops you from giving your life to Jesus Christ? What stops you from living to make the GOD that created you, happy? If you are blaspheming or doubting, no problem, after death you will be faced with the reality, but it will be too late! Thr proud and hardened sinner, will be humbled and cry bitterly after death - for the rest of his/her life in hellfire/lake of fire. |
After death everyone will believe in Jesus Christ, but it will be too late for some people. Many people are having divine encounters these days, where they are being taken mostly to hellfire to confirm its existence, but many hardened sinners are still refuting it. When they die and find themselves in their prison cells in hellfire, they will now believe, and be crying for mercy, but it will be too late for them; and they will only have themselves to blame. Many stubborn atheists are currently locked up in hellfire, and have become sober and ready to receive the salvation from Jesus, they their fate is sealed in hellfire, forever. While you are still breathing on earth, take your eternal destiny in your hands- if you love yourself. After death, it's case closed. A word is enough for the wise! |
KiNg0G:If you are indeed ready to stop this bad practice, I have a 100% guaranteed solution. First, you must genuinely give your life to Jesus Christ and receive salvation. Then you will need to go for deliverance to evict the demons responsible, in a good bible-believing church., such as MFM. Be ready for at least 2 days dry fasting, because sexual demons can be very stubborn. If you follow this advice, you will be delivered quickly. Your self will and how you keep yourself, also has a role to play, for your lasting victory. Do away with all porn and secular music. Start playing good gospel music, worship songs in home; not those gospel songs from artists like Ebuka songs or Gaisebaba etc. I mean real divine gospel songs that draw down thr presence of the Holy Spirit. Personalize Revelation 12:11, and read it daily |
AKONE:GOD bless you abundantly for this post. You couldn't have said it better! In these last days, the preaching of the cross is fast vanishing from our churches, which is very sad. As it is now, from revelations, most of the Christians dieing are heading to hellfire, but we are not worried about that. All we now emphasize is prosperity. Anyway, Jesus Christ already said many Christians are called, but few out of the Christians called, will be chosen. He that is holy, let him be holy still, for he will see GOD at the end. For the Christian who is not holy, he will see the devil in hellfire/lake of fire, at the end. |
Sirchiboy:Heaven or hellfire, depending on whether they accepted Jesus Christ and followed him to the end of their lives. |
He is not only worldly, he is not born-again. What I'm seeing is not a new creature; he is still the old creature, the carnal man. Jesus Christ told us that, " by their fruits, we shall know them." Therefore by the 'fruits' of his appearance, we know he is of the world. Anybody can call himself gospel artist these days, but Jesus knows His sheep. |
SonofElElyonRet:You got it perfectly right. If one fails to deal with open doors, demons will always come in and wreck havoc. "He that breaks an hedge, a serpent will bite him." - Ecclesiastes 10:8 |
MaxInDHouse:100% sure. By the time we die, we will all know that there is Heaven and hell. I witnessed a guy that was passing away in the hospital sometime ago. The guy, lived recklessly in sin, and on his sick bed, was already feeling the heat of hellfire. He was screaming that we should throw him in a river, shouting that the heat was too much. We were pouring water on him and giving him water continuously, but he wasnt even feeling it. I was praying for him for like 5 hours but had to quickly go somewhere. When I got back, I didn't meet him at his space. I called the man, that brought him and he said he died shortly after I left. I was pained, knowing he most likely ended in hell. His death still pains me till today, although we were not close like that. We will all find out that there is Heaven and hell, but for some people, it will be too late! |
geoworldedu:No human being can nullify the reality. As we speak, people are burning in hellfire. Ignorance is no excuse, anybody that dies without Jesus Christ, will land in hellfire- without fail. This includes Christians that die in their sins. Willful ignorance or self-inflicted deception, is no excuse in the divine court of law. |

Sonnobax15:One, GOD does not think and act like man. Secondly, we have ourselves to blame for our politician's misbehavior, if we must be honest with ourselves. Whenever most people see politicians, they hail them because of the crumbs they expect from them? but when I see them I just do as if they don't exist(unless the politician is good.) Something happened around my area, a deputy governor's house was in a neighborhood with a very bad road. The residents of the area were blasting the wife of the deputy governor to her face constantly, until the embarrassment was too much. As I speak, the road has been Completed, well tarred. If they had kept quiet and were idolizing the governor's wife, the road would have remained in that pitiable state. Nigerians need to wake up! You will see a governor passing by the road and people will be hailing him(someone who is putting you in bondage) I don't understand it. |
Ishilove:You have said it all. The marine agents are very happy we still have a lot of ignorant people on earth, so they always have victims. The ones waxing confident now will become sober after the marine agents have dealt with them. |
Why are people failing to see that the Isrealis intentionally decided not to intercept the missle for two possible reasons: to justify their pre-planned attack on high value targets in Yemen and/or to give the false impression that the iron dome failed and encourage the Houthis to believe in the missiles and procure more of them for certain reasons. One thing is certain, the Isrealis are ahead of the Houthis in every way. |
Ishilove: Ishilove:You are correct. Neither will a born again Christian want the federal government to ban christainity. If you call yourself a born again Christian, I will be watching you for the type of fruits you produce. The Bible states clearly that, by their fruits you shall know them. |

Jokerman:GOD bless you abundantly for this. I wanted to say exactly the same thing. Only the first marriage is valid before Christ. The other marriages are effectively invalid and must be dissolved if the man wants to make heaven. All the people delightfully wallowing in ignorance should better repent or have themselves to blame after the rapture or after death- when it will be too late. |
themanderon:GOD bless you. I was going to say the same thing. The goal of these demons is to drag people to hell. I congratulate everyone who is in Christ because we are free from such traps. |
The propaganda and campaign of calumny against Dr. D.K.Olukoya, one of the greatest men of GOD of our time, is dead on arrival. The man is a very good man; very kind-hearted. All these people the devil is using to try and spoil his name and ministry(which has proved abortive) will surely have themselves to blame. With the little I know about the exceptional man, he's way above these pack of lies being bandied around. My prayer is that GOD will keep and strengthen him to perform more prolifically for His glory, and finish his race in eternal glory. We will end up in eternal glory in Jesus name. |


. With the way poverty is dealings on Nigerians,these werey-cum politicians don't care about us ,but only on how to rig and win 2027 election......... Sometimes, things like these are the reasons I question God's existence cuz if HE really exist,at least by now,no crop of these modern day Nigerian would be walking free without tasting the wrath of Thunder
