This sermon is in the form of a fictional conversation, as you read may you be blessed.

Sam: Choi, this life no balance oh
Matthew: (cuts him short) there's power in spoken words, avoid such statements.
Sam: forget that thing bro, wetin i dey reason you be say, my guy lekan wey me and am dey drink garri last week don hammer, like the boy too get grace. Person wey just start yahoo 2wks ago done pick 3m. Walai see grace oh. God, why i no get grace?, why am i so unlucky?
Matthew: Yahoo? Grace? In the same sentence? Is it Grace of Jesus or grace of mammon you're talking about? Are you sure you know what is Grace?
Sam: person wey just start G work 2wks ago don pick 3m and you dey yarn dust, no be grace of God abi you think say him easy. U wey sabi, wetin be Grace?
Matthew: Good question. Now sit, let me share the counsel of God with you. Grace means unmerited, undeserved favour from God.
Sam: see na, we are saying the same thing.
Matthew: No, the unmerited, undeserved favour of God is towards righteousness, holiness and the will of God.
Sam: okay, how?
Matthew: what irritates you most?
Sam: snakes. I hate them with passion. Once i see one, i would look for a big stone to kill, i won't rest till it is cut in pieces. I go knack am wella wella.
Matthew: Okay, that is exactly how God hates sin. Sins are a reproach to God. It makes him angry. He can burn down a city for sin. He fit knack am wella wella. So, he can never use his dearest gift called Grace to facilitate sin.
Sam: hmmm
Matthew: excelling in yahoo yahoo isn't grace, winning bbnaija after promoting lust is not grace, buying car from 'small god' isn't grace, as far as it's sinful and against the will of God it's not grace. All unrighteousness is sin (1 John 5:17).
Sam: So how does grace work? And why don't i have grace?
Matthew: There are different dimensions/types of grace. There is grace not to fall into sin. When i was in school, i planned with a girl to lose my virginity, on that day, it rained heavily even though it was February, i told her to still come, the bus she entered broke down, her phone got spoilt, las las she use vex go back house. It was when she didn't come that was when i realised myself, i repented and asked God for forgiveness.
Sam: Choi, that kind thing don do me before oh. When i was in year one, i wanted to join the biggest cult group in uni, on the day of bamming (initiation), i fell very sick, infact i was admitted into the clinic. The next day, i heard police raided the occasion and all the new initiates were later expelled. Na so God take save me. Even the guy wey give me link, was killed in a cult war 3 weeks later. Chai, so na Grace be that?
Matthew: Exactly. Let me tell you another type of Grace. There's a Grace that gives you things that you know you didn't get by your own human effort.
Sam: explain, biko.
Matthew: You see this oil company i work for, I'm the only 2:2 graduate there, infact if you don't have 2:1 don't bother applying. Do you know how i got the job there?
Sam: how?
Matthew: i went into serious fasting and prayers when i applied for the job. They said no 2:2 but i still applied with faith. How they overlooked my result till the final interview is a mystery. I begged God that i will do his will in the company if he gives me the job. We were only 3 that qualified for the final interview. The M.D called the recruiter that he was told in a dream to give a job to the young man wearing a red tie, i was the only one wearing a red tie, so they gave me the job. And they have no regrets, infact I won the award for the best staff last year because i work with kingdom standards.
Sam: Mad oh!!
Matthew: no be me read pass, or dress pass but na God help me. But, that doesn't mean you should neglect hardwork oh, work hard and pray hard too.
Sam: wawu, wawu, wawu. Is there another type of Grace?
Matthew: There's grace to do those little things you overlook everyday like it's nothing. To sleep and wake up is grace, to enter bus and come down without one chance guys is grace, to eat food without been poisoned is grace, to travel without herdsmen kidnapping you is grace.
Sam: abi o, infact to celebrate 18yrs of living in Nigeria is serious grace oh. Hmmm. Thanks, I've learnt alot. Besides karma fit strike lekan one day.
Matthew: My guy, there's no such thing as karma in the bible.
Sam: You say?
Matthew: Guy, karma no dey bible. Lekan fit do yahoo, later marry a good wife, have lovely kids, live to an old age, become born again and even make heaven. That is another dimension of grace.
Sam: Ha!!, okay na, make i go do my own yahoo na.
Matthew: Lol, shall we continue to sin that Grace may abound? (Rom 6:1)
Sam: meaning?
Matthew: God cannot be mocked. Whatsoever a man sows that is what he will reap. (Gal 6:7) God knows you are trying to take advantage of him, so he won't give you the Grace, because you can't dupe God. For it is written in Heb 10:26,
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins.
Sam: Choi, the thing don cast ohhh. So, how do i get Grace and increase my Grace?
Matthew: Come by this time next week, by the Grace of God i will teach you how to get Grace.
Sam: Okay. Bye, see you next week, you too sure.

222Martins:




Matured Christian indeed. Please stop exhibiting your shallow understanding of the bible. The devil or your so called demons can claim to be anything; but will never identify itself as Jesus Christ. 2. A dark power can never identify itself as serving under the lordship of Jesus Christ. For a mortal instrument, the penalty is death. Get your fact right.

for you to say this means you haven't seen real demons, what you have been seeing are apprentice and I.t students

APPRECIATION.......


I want to thank every one who has contributed to the thread " say no to cultism " . I gave my life to christ on the 1st of June 2021 . On 03/ June/ 2021 , i was at home and i decided to watch the roland garros match between Novak and cuevas and just after the first set, i fell asleep and went straight into a trance. I saw a huge light in form of a Man, i could not see his face and all i could see was a bright light in Human form and the figure took my arm and we projected into a street with wonderful nature setting. He then said he was Jesus. He said i have fulfilled my assignment on earth and it was time for me to return. My assignment was grouped in three sections,

1.... become a cultist
2.... save souls as a former cultist
3.... give my life to Him and end my mission .

He further revealed to me that he had marked me with a star on the day i was born. He revealed to me what my mum and her twin concealed from me. 3 days after my birth, my mum twin sister carried and i fell from her arms from a very high point. My breath stopped immediately and they rushed me to a trado woman to see if they could revive me, on getting to the front of her house, i came back to life with a loud cry. He said the day i was born, the devil sent his demons to after me to make sure i do not see the light of day. The demons pushed me from the arms of my mothers twin and i fell from a very high point, but he came back and restored me to life. He said he has always been with me as the devil wanted me dead has a cultist so as not to carry out my assignment. He said this thread has saved 68k souls from perishing. He said it was time for me to go. I woke up and called my mother and asked her what happened three days after my birth, she then opened to me that i was almost dead .

I am currently settling my family and giving them more than enough to have a good life when am gone.

I just have a wish : PLEASE THIS THREAD SHOULD NOT BE DELETED.

This might be my last post. I wish you all well.

You left cultism physically years ago, but you haven't left spiritually, that demon in disguise came to you because you are still a naive, baby Christian, I'm not here to scare you but your journey has just begun. You will not die, you will live to declare the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living for ever and ever. The demons that operated in you during your cultism days are the same ones that came to you in a trance to plant the demons of death. Read your bible, God never appears to anyone in a trance for the first time to tell them to die, no, when Jesus appears to you for the first time he will tell you to go and preach the good news or give you a mission on who to preach to. Number 2, Jesus never lies, he doesn't exaggerate or round off, the devil on the other hand is the father of lies, number 2, what is the possibility your thread saved an exact round off number of 68k souls. if the number of people your thread saved was 68,200 people, Jesus can never tell you it was 68k. I repeat what you encountered was a demon, i challenge you to wake up at midnight for 3 days and pray against demonic forces especially against demons of death and watch what will happen. When next that spirit appears either shout the Blood of Jesus or mutter the courage to ask it if Jesus came in the Flesh? The spirit will either say no or disapper to show you it was a spirit of darkness disguised as light. I will be praying for you over here. The journey for your soul has just begun my brother, be battle ready. This is the thread of someone who has faced the spiritual side of cultism, you can read through it. https://www.nairaland.com/5252047/cultism-spiritual-consequences-deliverance-through

i have been following your story for some time now and i am happy you have left all your charms and have given your life to Christ. By His Grace, i am a more matured Christian and i want to make comments on your trance. No 1: the bible in 1 John 4:1 says, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. no 2: the bible also says the devil can disguise as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:4). I am 90% certain that what you saw wasn't Jesus but the devil. He knows your resolve and he knows you will do damage to his kingdom that is why he came as fast as he could to plant seeds of death in your soul, when you accept death, then death will come. Can you remember how your spirit felt doing the trance, were you at peace or was your spirit troubled. I know your spirit was troubled before you finally accepted the offer of death the demon gave to you. I repeat what you saw was a demon disguising as Jesus, I will advise you to build an altar ASAP. look for a secluded part of your house or any place, choose a time maybe midnight , or 3 am or just anytime comfortable for you. Tell God that you want that place to be an altar and meeting place for you and him. Everyday go to that place at that particular time and pray, always pray for the infilling of the Holy Spirit and pray against the spirit of death. Pray to God to direct you to a strong Christian for guidance so you can grow, i will advise you to start listening to apostle Joshua Selman messages then try apostle Arome Osayi and Michael Orokpo. It is written, that he will give us long life and he will save us( Psalm 91:16).

The so called UGM has burnt at least 5 police stations, yet not even one person has been able to record even 2 minutes of them in operation, which is odd for a country with social media freaks. No CCTV footage, ordinary picture we never see. Are they so invisible that no one can take a pic of them even in their bus on their way to their operation. I don't want to get started on how "professional" they are to be able to take down police stations with no casualties on their side. In my opinion, UGM is nothing but police officers burning their stations, but what do I know? I could be wrong though.

I got a failure delivery forwarding to you

alright..thanks, let me continue working on getting back my old email then.

please can you forward a copy to this email talk2jurgen@mail.com, for some reasons i can't access the address i sent to you. I'm very sorry for all the inconveniences it will cost you. Thanks in anticipation.

TheNoble007:
Just recently, I had decided to go on a break prophesying at least on online platforms, even though I could prophesy in the physical, the word of the Lord came to me.

1) In the spirit, I saw a serious battle between the ESN and Fulani terrorists. I saw them declaring war among themselves. I saw each of them regrouping to fight. I saw a declaration of war. I heard the sound of very heavy artillery. The sound of very heavy weaponry. I can see one of the factions armed even with Rocket launchers... What can the Nigerian armed forces do about this?. Will this be above their power?. Pray for Nigeria.

2) In the year 2015, I had prophesied about the current president winning the election and I gave warnings. In the year 2016, I was carried away in the spirit to Abuja. I found myself in Abuja. Again I found myself in Aso Rock. And I met the President in the spirit and began to look at him and read his thoughts. This is what his thoughts were- " All these corruption agenda is to win the trust of Nigerians. Very soon Nigerians will know his true color". The main aim is to bring Nigeria down to his feet. What is happening to Nigeria is not a surprise, rather it was premeditated from the very beginning.

3) In the Spirit, I saw Olusegun Obansajo looking at the remains of a wasted land, that has been ravaged by war and factions. He was remorseful. He seemed to be one of the causes. What can he do? Even when he tries to speak, he will be greatly ignored by the people.


I will stop here. The mercy of God is upon me, and my eyes are opened.

number 1 is already in play.

tunlex01:

1. Using agent is dependent on the type of visa you are processing.
2. No one can give you an estimate without full information

please, how can i start the process? I have gone through the front page but i can't see any website to apply through, like the official website for immigration applications.

I just did that. And nothing.

drink lots and lots of water. the baby stays in an amniotic fluid that is made mostly of water, so your body requires lots of it. if you lack water it manifests as headaches.

happy sunday to us all

Happy Sunday and a wonderful week ahead

> Sleep
> Wake up

> Repeat the cycle.

Is this the story of your life? Welcome to the rat race specially designed by mammon. Do you really believe this is why Jesus came to die for you, to go church once or twice a week, make money, marry, have kids, train them in school, retire, pressure your kids to marry, battle with high blood pressure or stroke, then patiently wait for death.
My question for you today is, is this really all there is in life? No, there's more to life than the rat race, and the best achievement you can have in life is knowing your God given mission on earth.

Atleast 50% of the people in Akwa Ibom are Christians, yet, it took a Danish woman who has discovered her mission to leave her country to another continent and save the lives of kids who were accused of witchcraft. While many Nigerian Christians are giving testimonies of acquiring visa to join the rat race in America and other European countries, yet she found her gold in the dirt and she's living a more accomplished life.

With more than 1 million Nigerians attending catholic masses every sunday, yet it took only man, Jude Nnam, to compose the best indigenous songs that are been sung across their churches till this day.

There are men and women like Mother Theresa, men who wrote Bibles, people who composed powerful hymns we still sing today after hundreds of years. Unknown missionaries who left the first world to mosquito-infested places to preach the Gospel and bring education to them. Many like Bishop Shanahan built schools generations ago in strange lands that still exist today. Should we talk about Mary Slessor, whose mission secured the lives of many twins in southern Nigeria? There are many Irish priests and sisters who left their countries to war-torn Biafra and God used them to save the lives of many starving and sick children. There are many people who have orphanages, free schools and through them are carrying out their mission on earth.

Jesus gave us a peep into the rewards of a missionary life in Matt 25:33, when he said,
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, "I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

In the Great commission of Mark 16:15-18, Jesus told the eleven disciples and in extension every believer,
15 “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

Note, Jesus didn't say only pastors should feed the hungry, or only G.Os should drive out demons or only pastor's wives' should clothe the naked or only ushers will lay hands on the sick, no, these missions were given to each and every one of us. As far as you call yourself a believer, a royal priesthood, you will be judged based on these standards.


How to know your mission on earth.

Pray to God and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal your mission to you. After, pay attention to your dreams or any burden in your Spirit e.g sudden desire to clothe the naked, visit the prisoners or you begin to notice all of a sudden the poor people in your environs.

It's always best to have your mission revealed by the Holy Spirit, so you can trust him in times of despair. All you have to do is align with him and give him your hands. And, step by step he will lead you and use your hands to bring forth God's Will on earth.

Do I need to be a billionaire before knowing my mission?

No, all you have to do is to know the opinion of God. Follow and trust his voice. If he has called you to feed the hungry, you can start with what you have. #1000 can buy enough akara for 10 people (100 naira) each to have a great breakfast. #1000 can buy 5 plates of rice you can share as lunch to 5 beggars.
As you become faithful in little things, so will God increase your capacity.

Brothers and sisters, there's more to life than buying 50 new designer bags, new car, new houses etc for your birthday. While those things are good and important, what is better is using your resources to bring God's Kingdom here on earth by carrying out your mission from God through his Grace and Power.

Imagine how wonderful Nigeria would be if just 50% of Christians are in active, selfless missions.
While having a child, a job, visa etc may be your testimony here on earth, what testifies for you in heaven is your mission and the number of souls you have touched positively.

As you begin to reflect on your mission here on yet, never expect fame, rewards or vain glory here on earth. Let your works be between you and God.

wow, so true

Have you ever seen how Nigerians mob pastors that enter commercial flights? Jeez, imagine Adeboye entering a commercial flight, you will see people shouting daddy, daddy, i have this problem, pls do this for me etc. Even the air hostesses will be all around you like flies. Besides, having a private jet, allows you to travel with better security, peace, and at your own timing. However, what i don't agree with is having more than one jet, like seriously why should a pastor have more than one jet especially in a poor country like ours. That money can be used to build a free maternity hospital that will win more souls for God. However, who am i to judge. They are wearing the shoes, so they know where it is pinching them.
O.p, your submissions are correct though your calculations are a bit flawed. They actually rent out those jets daily to cover up maintenance costs and other expenses. Maybe, that's why they own multiple jets to serve as a source of revenue.

Myer:


The parable of wheat and tares is quite interesting.

Of course you won't appreciate it until you understand the parable of the seed sower which precedes it.

In summary, the Seed sower is God.
Of course the seed being planted is Christ.
The process of seed sowing being discipleship- following Christ in word and spirit.

Then the different soils are representative of the different states of the human heart receiving the word and being discipled.

While the other hearts can't sustain the seed well, it takes the Good seed falling on a good soil to be able to bear much fruits (wheat).
The wheat being the Christian.

A good soil by the way is one without hardness, without distractions, without cares of the world, etc.

That is the prologue to the parable of the wheat and tares.

Now the wheat that was produced is now a part of the world where the enemy has sown tares.

Technically according to the parable of the seed sower, we can see that only the good heart without hardness, without distractions, without cares of the world can survive the tares.

Would it have been better if like the laborers (angels) suggested, to uproot the tares so that more wheats can survive?

very insightful. well done.

thebosstrevor1:
In agriculture, Tares and wheats look alike, most people will nit know the difference. Likewise,in the church, those who claim they are believers( tares) will mix with the real believers( wheat).

The servants represent the angels.

The master is jesus.

At the end of world as Christian believes, jesus christ will seperate the pretenders from the true Christian through his angels.

Lesson.

1. Both evil and good people will be in the church or in the society, that is the reality of life.

2. Good and evil will grow alongside in society or in the church but Be watchful and also stand your ground against evil.

3. Good will eventually win against evil.

very insightful, thanks for contributing

femi4:
Also, The enemies prefer to attack while you are asleep ...So, don't lose guard

Like the boy scout motto: Be prepared

very true, hence the importance of midnight prayers

1. The evil people in church come from the devil.

A good number of people currently avoid going to church because of sad, past experiences with some terrible people in the church. But, the good news is, Jesus gave this parable more than 2000yrs ago, to describe how evil people always appear in the midst of God's children, and why you should expect them because times never change.
What are tares? Tares are plants that look like wheat and are hard to differentiate till the time of harvest.
Wherever the carcass is, there the vultures will appear.(Matt 24:28). Wherever the children of God are gathered, there the children of the devil will appear. There's no church in this world that is devoid of evil people. They are in every church, fellowship and gathering of the saints. They were sown by their father while men slept. (matt 13:25). They come with the simple mission to do the will of their father which is to steal, to kill and to destroy( John 10:10). They are the ones, who spread malicious and false gossips and accusations, they steal, they bully, they promote sexual immorality to trap people in lust. They're the ones who come online to insult genuine pastors and they can do anything just to bring shame to the church and make people feel unsafe in church. They appeared in the times of Moses, as Jannes, Jambres ( 2 Tim 3: and the others who insulted Moses in the wilderness,(numb 14) they were there during the days of the apostles, they're present in our own days, even bolder now as they even have their own churches as false prophets, pastors and bishops and they will still be there in the next 100yrs. They may have different appearances but they all have the same goal, to bring disunity to the church and prevent people from going to the church.

2. God knows all that is happening in every church.

We serve an omniscient and omnipresent God, from whom no knowledge can be hidden. Don't be dismayed or follow the steps of evil, unrighteous people because it seems God is slow to judge. On the day of judgement, he will bring judgement upon the tares and they will be burnt.

3. Don't stay in a congregation with more tares than wheat.
Bad company, they say, corrupts good manners. Never stay in a church with much tares and few wheat. Such churches can't help you grow spiritually. If your church isn't helping you grow spiritually, pray to God about the matter and ask the Holy Spirit to direct you to a church that can build you up. Iron sharpenth iron. Seek a church that will take you along the path of salvation. A church that will help you grow as a born again, Spirit filled believer, a church that will help you produce much fruits in 100s and 1000s while we await the gathering of the wheat into the barn (heaven) of the good sower (Jesus). Remember the wolf always strikes the lone sheep. Decree and declare today, I am a wheat plant in the Lord's farm, no tare can uproot me from the field of my Saviour. I will stay in his field ( under his protection) and produce much grains to the Glory of my sower, while I await the glorious day of his harvest. Amen.

Kindly share your inspirations about this parable.

Have a Happy sunday.

Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed wheat in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the tares come from?’

28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the tares and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

Puloc:

Well I agree that wars are too costly now but mind u, the only reason war is costly and a bad idea now to the imperialist west now is because of the military power of the eastern blocks, talk about Russia, China, India, and upcoming Iran. If and when the achieve a strategic advantage over this countries militarily then war is not ruled out. the makers of war are like the makers of rain. the don't get beaten by the rain the instigate. the can stay out the storm in a comfortable mamsion. so don't be deceived, man is greedy and it is only this greed that makes him to break bounds, to seek d impossible anywhere. Where greedy men are involved, WAR is only inevitable.

yea, you're 100% right, but with the way things are going the west can never have an advantage over the east especially russia and china, power has changed hands, those two countries are the future.

Puloc:

And yet the are plans by some countries to undo other countries economically and finally lead to their collapse. don't be deceived, war is possible at any time. Remember the have been several war since WW2. It takes only man selfish interests, over-confidence and miscalculation to go to war with another country.

it will be almost impossible for any country to go to war now. Times have changed. But, wars were used for economic and population check, since wars are over, the latest upgrade is diseases, corona was a test, expect worse diseases in years to come.

If in actual truth he made them male and female, then why did Abraham, Isaac, moses and their likes married more than one wife

are you sure you read your bible? abraham had only one wife, sarah, Hagar was a temporary concubine. He married Keturah after Sarah died. Isaac had only one wife Rebecca while Moses had only one wife Zipporah. There are other polygamists but certainly not the ones you mentioned. However, all these people are dear to God but they were not Christians. The christian disposition is to follow the initial rules before Adam fell, one of which include one male one female.

@ tomtween1. What I wrote in my previous post was out of the abundance of that which the Lord Jesus has invested in me through grace. And all glory and honor to His name. He is so worthy of the honor and glory. So kindly read them if you wish to.

Again, I want to share a little concerning the thoughts of many. Some who have contacted me on this matter. I speak as someone that Native doctors and occultists in communities at different locations announced my death. They made it bold and declared it openly and a short time frame was given. They were bold enough to invite me and tell me their plans over my life. The first time, I was just 15+ year old then. You can imagine this! Yes, this occurred at two different states in Nigeria. I speak as someone who encountered car/ vehicle accidents multiple times and walked out free. I speak as someone that have experienced a strong weather mishap on an airplane around the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean. I speak as someone whom the Lord God fought my battles, dealing with my enemies and many of them are no more today because they had unrepentant heart. It was that year I found the Lord. It was that year I found His presence. My focus was not on my enemies. They were immaterial to me. My heart cry was - Lord Jesus that I may know thee and the power of thy resurrection. I was not overly concerned about the gifts of the Spirit. I was not even at all concerned about my several enemies, about their presence. I was not concerned about being famous despite on how people hailed me- big or small. Rather, I enjoyed His presence, spending time with Him daily, and the Lord Jesus fought my battles unknown to me. .By God's grace and mercy, before any spectacular thing will happen to me, I will know in advance. This is why I keep urging people to hear the voice of God clearly for themselves.


As a Prophet of God by His grace, it is my desire to open the eyes of many, whether big or small, noble or not. In our Christian walk with God, the first thing to know is that you are free. Believe that you are free. Walk in that knowledge that you are free. Speak it that you are free. Confess that you are free. Rejoice that you are free. Act on your freedom... For you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Freedom is for children of God. Bondage is for slaves. And you are a child of God. You have to let this knowledge dwell in your subconscious, mind, and heart. As soon as the territorial demons know that you have this knowledge about whom you are, they will thread softly. Because anytime they rear up their heads to molest you, you will give them a command. And your command now, will be powerful. Because it is a command from the mouth of a Child of God who is operating from the land of freedom and not the land of bondage.

Satan and his demons want you to keep on having this knowledge and belief that someone evil is holding your destiny and that you are in bondage. This is a big distraction. So instead of you to commune with the Father and grow in God, you are constantly praying to remove yourself from an unseen bondage that your mind, people or association has caused you to believe in. As far as you keep on having this knowledge, the enemy have legal grounds to make constant accusations. There are laws in the spirit world. And these laws are obeyed even by Angels. The existence and potency of these laws, is determined by the soul of man, from that which he believes. This is why the Lord Jesus healed those who believed. Even as God, He knew that the legal right exist within the confines of the soul of man, from that which he believes.

Know this- Slaves cry out for freedom. Their cry for freedom is unending. But Children of the kingdom give out commands, and their commands are very brief. Where do you belong? Are you truly born again? If you know that you are a genuine child of the kingdom, begin to walk in that spiritual liberty. When the enemy rears up his head, remind yourself of whom you are, and give out a command.


Shalom

thanks, it's almost as if you wrote this specifically for my situation. May God keep blessing you.

Update:
I had to stay away from this post for some time due to some health issues I suffered due to excessive thinking and depression which got me hospitalised.

The result will be out by Friday as advised by the DNA clinic. Either way, I'll come back and post the results here. Thanks!

the results will come out positive in your favor. But just a bit of advice from a fellow married person, be mindful of what you absorb from social media so that you don't end up destroying your home. You are just like my mum, you both have what i will call "social media paranoia". You get paranoid from negative stories that trend on social media. if there of 5 different reports of kidnapping on a road, you will avoid it at all cost and get really paranoid if a loved one is going down that route. Stories of rape, killings, war speculations, infidelity, divorce, bad marriages can weigh you down emotionally. Believe me, it's not a good thing for a man to be paranoid by news trends. Negative trends sell more, so expect bloggers to always stuff up the social media space with bad stories. I too once had a bit of it till God saved me. I was once carried away with "feminism" when it was the online trend some years back, i was planning to stop doing my hubby's laundry and discusing sharing chores. Till God saved me and i now understand that every marriage is unique, most people and stories online are fake and liars, many people online are miserable and seeking for who to join them (misery truly loves company) and it's the duty of everyone to treat their spouses with love and respect. For the sake of your wife, marriage and mental health, take a social media break especially twitter (or just stick to newspapers) after the results are out, for at least 2 weeks to detoxify and heal your mentality. Don't mind these single and young ones edging you on.
