jaephoenix:There are overwhelming evidences of its reality. And most of the information contained were divinely revealed. Without the Bible, we would have all been lost as to how the world began. There was no way Moses who was not present during creation could have known how the earth was created. And how man fell from grace. The fulfillment of most of the prophecies contained therein are proofs of its divine origin. For example, Daniel interpreted the image that Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream. And all the successive kingdoms happened just the way he foretold it. And there is one last kingdom of the world that is about to be unfold; The revived Roman Empire which will be a confederation of ten European countries. Daniel saw it and the book of Revelation gave more details about the kingdom. But it will only be unveiled after the rapture of the church. The anti Christ will only rule for 7 years. Out of the seven years reign, the last three and a half years will be used to persecute the Jews. His number is also revealed which is 666. Explaining all these will take a whole book. You are in the dark without the Bible. Besides, it has made my life supernatural. Being a true believer is a higher life. It's a better life and it's glorious life. Come and taste and see how good God is. Even sex that is driving people crazy was created by God. Can't you see that God wants us to enjoy life to the full. Under the old testament, honeymoon for new couples was for one year. And all the entitlement of the man must be paid for that one year. In other words, it is one year leave with full payment. Can't you see how good God is? Embrace this gospel and upgrade your life. Without Christ, you are lost and you are in the low level of life. |
Friday, March 24th. Spiritual Warfare and Vengeance - 2. "And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary." (Luke 18:3). Our Lord Jesus gave a parable of a widow who went to an unjust judge to vindicate her as contained in the opening text. According to the parable, she told the judge, 'Avenge me of mine adversary'. The word avenge is translated from the Greek word, 'ekdikeo' which means; first, to vindicate one's right, do one justice, to protect or defend one person from another. It also means, to avenge a thing or to punish a person for a thing. Our focus will be on the second definition. Jesus used this parable to affirm the fact that God is the one who takes vengeance on our adversaries. And he also used the parable to let us know we can ask God to punish our enemies. How then can we reconcile this with the instruction to feed our enemies and give drinks to them? God didn't ask us to carry food and start looking for our enemies to feed. But if any of them come to you you hungry and ask for food, you should feed them. But it will not exempt them from being punished if they don't repent of their evil works. Even Apostle Paul demanded a recompense on Alexander the coppersmith when he wrote; "Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works."(2nd Timothy 2:14). So, it's not out of place to demand that God should repay those who do evil to you. There are times however you may have to forgive some people for their evil acts against you especially if they did it in ignorance. Thus, our Lord Jesus prayed for those who crucified him saying; "...Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34). Above all, don't take vengeance into your hands. Let God do the punishing. But try as much as possible not to give the devil an open door to attack you. Just as John the beloved wrote; "We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not." (1st John 5:18). Prayer: Heavenly Father, you deserve the glory, honour and adoration this glorious day. I thank you for your provisions and protection. I commit this beautiful day into your mighty hands trusting that you will judge those who device evil works against and deliver me from their evil schemes in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

efficiencie:The blood that Jesus shed has pacified his anger. So, he doesn't at the slightest error we make do that anymore. His wrath is only revealed from time to time on those who suppress the truth in unrighteousness - Romans 1:18. My comments concerning mercyland questionable practices is not based on hearsay. It's based on what I have seen him do quite a few times. Only believers who are of a full age know how to discern good from evil. If you are still a babe, you cannot. Time will prove me right. All wolves in sheep's clothing will be exposed one by one. |

This is an excerpt from the devotional study, Rhema for Living; Thursday, March 23rd. Spiritual Warfare and Vengeance - 1. "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, VENGEANCE IS MINE; I will repay, saith the Lord." (Romans 12:19). It's a common trend in most of our church gatherings during prayers for people to take vengeance against their perceived enemies. As such prayer languages such as die, fall and die, etc are common amongst most believers in the days we are living. It's true that there are wicked men and women everywhere who device or project evils against people and so many have fallen victims to their evil schemes. As such, so many believers therefore adopt the approach of kill them before they kill you. They even hinge their actions on the scripture which reads; "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." (Exodus 22:18). But that instruction was part of the Law of Moses which has been abolished. The church is not under the Law of Moses. On account of the death of Christ, everyman has the legal right to be saved. And I have seen God saved quite a few people who were deeply involved in witchcraft activities and are now servants of God. Besides, we have been instructed not to take vengeance into our hands as contained in the opening text. God said that vengeance is his exclusive right. So, if you ignore this instruction and still insist you must kill your perceived enemies, you are equally acting more like a witch because you are rebelling against the word of God. Rebellion according to Prophet Samuel is the spirit of witchcraft -1st Samuel 15:23. Instead of taking vengeance against your enemies, the scripture says; "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head." (Romans 12:20. So, let God do the punishment himself. Apostle Paul thus concluded; "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Tomorrow, we will throw more light on this subject. Further Study: 1st Peter 3:9, Romans 7:6, Galatians 3:9-11. Please, feel free to drop your comments or argue otherwise. But your argument must be substantiated with scriptures. |

Wednesday, March 22nd. Power in The Name of Jesus - 3. "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name." (Philippians 2:8-9). In our previous studies on this subject, we said that the first way Jesus got the greatness of his name was by inheritance. The second way was by conquest. The third way was that God bestowed the name on him on account of his humility which he showed even to the point of his death on the cross. This will be our focus of discussion today. It's imperative to mention here that Jesus is deity. He has the very nature and essence of God. Thus, it is written; "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. Put in another way, Jesus is the visible manifestation of the invisible God. But he left his glory in heaven and took up the form of a man in order to redeem us from the power of darkness. In addition, he took the form of a servant as exemplified by the ways he served his disciples. Furthermore, his humility was taken to the point that he willingly offered himself to be crucified like a common criminal on the cross. On account of this humility, God bestowed on him a name that is above all names; "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:10-11). We have been given the power of attorney to use the name of Jesus. In other words, we have been legally authorized to act on behalf of Jesus. If devils dreaded the name of Jesus while he was on earth, how much more now that he is glorified. So, use that name in faith against demons and sicknesses. They will bow at the mention of his name. Remember, the 70 disciples came back with praise report on how the devils submitted to them in the name of Jesus. Peter also healed a crippled man at the gate called beautiful through the power in his name. Your case will not be different and your testimony is sure to the praise and glory of God. Prayer: Dear Father, I thank you for the living hope you have given to me in Christ Jesus. I also thank you for the victory that I have in Christ over the devil and his cohorts through the power in the name of Jesus. As I continue to exercise my authority in the name of Jesus, confirm it with notable signs and wonders in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Further Study: Luke 10:19, Acts 3:16, 1st John 3:23. |
Tuesday, March 21st. Power in The Name of Jesus - 2. "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it." (Colossians 2:15). Yesterday, we said that the first way Jesus name became great was by inheritance. His name also became great by conquest. He went to the very domain of Satan after death and defeated him there. He did not only defeat him, he made a public spectacle of Satan and his cohorts in the very domain of hell. Before he resurrected, he collected the keys of hell and death from the devil. And immediately after his resurrection, our Lord Jesus Said, "... All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Matthew 28:18). He continued, "Go ye therefore [in the consciousness of this truth], and teach all nations [that the devil is defeated], baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. "(Matthew 28:19-20, emphasis mine). What are the things he commanded us to do? He said; "And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." (Matthew 10:8-9). He has given the church authority to heal the sick and cast out demons in his name - Mark 16:17. The devil dreads the name of Jesus not only because he is the Son of God, but also because he has been defeated. So, be conscious of his conquest over the devil and exercise the authority given to you as occasion demands. And the devil has no option than to submit to you because of the power in the name of Jesus. Prayer: Lord God Almighty, I give you thanks for another glorious day. I use this opportunity to thank you for the authority you have given to me to exercise in the name of Jesus. I step out today in the consciousness of this authority and I know that every power of darkness will bow in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Further Study: Acts 3:1-8;16, Revelation 1:18. |
Monday, March 20th. Power in The Name of Jesus - 1. "Then the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name!”(Luke 10:17, New English Translation). On an occasion, our Lord Jesus sent out 70 disciples to preach the gospel. And he commanded them saying; "...heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you." (Luke 17:9). When they were through with the preaching, they came back with a praise report rejoicing that the demons submitted to them in the name of Jesus. There is something about the name of Jesus. An understanding of the power in the name of Jesus is one sure key to winning your spiritual battles. Generally speaking, some names are respected in our society today such that people are compelled to act in certain ways when they hear such names. For instance, if someone comes to you and said that your boss in the office request your presence urgently, you will immediately respond because you know the consequences that will follow if you don't. It doesn't matter if he didn't come himself. As long as it was his name that was mentioned, it will command your immediate response. In the same way, names mean a lot in the realm of the spirit. Powers in the realm of the spirit honour names that are superior in ranks. And greatness in a name can be gotten three ways according to Kenneth Hagin of blessed memory. A name can be great by inheritance or birth. Names can also achieve its greatness through conquest. Thirdly, the greatness of a name can be bestowed on you. Our Lord Jesus got the greatness of his name through these three ways. We will discuss them one after the other. First, the name of Jesus became great by inheritance or by birth. Thus, the scripture says; "Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." (Hebrews 1:4). The word 'excellent' here means superior or surpassing in comparison with the names of angels. Jesus is the Son of the most High God. He was made flesh and dwelt among us because of the mission he had to accomplish. When a demon possessed man saw him, he cried out saying; "...Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God."(Luke 4:34). The devils dread Jesus because they know who Jesus is. So, whenever the name of Jesus is mentioned, they are obliged to submit. Powers recognize spiritual authorities higher than them. As such, lower powers bow to higher powers with superior names. The scripture says that; "... ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power." (Colossians 2:10). In other words, Jesus is the supreme power over all powers. So, when the disciples were sent out to preach, they exercised authority in the name of Jesus to cast out devils and heal the sick. The devils couldn't resist the power in the name of Jesus and sicknesses were also healed in that name. Use the name of Jesus in faith as you engage in your spiritual warfare. There is no power on earth that can stand that name. And diseases are healed at the mention of the name of Jesus. Tomorrow, we will discuss the last two ways Jesus got the greatness of his name. Prayer: Great and mighty God, hallowed be your name. I thank you for the privilege to use the name of Jesus as I engage in spiritual battles. I therefore resist every works of the evil one projected against me in the mighty name of Jesus. They will not prosper in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Sunday, March 19th . How to Take Advantage of The Power in the Blood of Jesus in Your Spiritual Battles - 2. "And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me."(1st Corinthians 11:24-25). Yesterday, we said that Jesus is our passover lamb. As such untimely death or any form of evil is not permitted to come near you and your family. Always cover your life and that of your family with the blood of Jesus especially when you are taking your night sleep. Another way to take advantage of the power in the blood of Jesus is to partake of the communion of the body and the blood of Jesus which was instituted by our Lord Jesus himself. Apostle Paul reminded the church in Corinth how the communion was instituted by our Lord Jesus. And he said that the purpose is do it in remembrance of Jesus. What are the things we should remind ourselves about our Lord Jesus? There are quite a lot but we will just mention a few here. First, our Lord Jesus took our sins and in exchange gave us his free gift of righteousness. So, on account of this, you have a right standing with God and this qualifies you to partake of the inheritance reserved for us. This inheritance includes, divine health, prosperity and long life. So, as you partake of the communion, you are also reminding yourself that you are entitled to good health, wealth and long life. Secondly, Jesus delivered us from the power of darkness. Darkness is anything that is of the devil. As you partake of the communion, resist anything that is not of God in your life. The list is endless. Above all, the bread you take in the realm of the spirit is the body of Christ. And the wine you drink is the blood of Jesus. As you take them, you are taking life into you. You are destroying every evil works of darkness over your life. The communion can be taken as often as you wish. It can be taken in your home as long as there are two or three people gathered in the name of Jesus. Through the blood of Jesus, you overcome every accusation the devil brings against you. And it deprives him of the power to continue to oppress or afflict you. So, don't be moved by the lying symptoms you still feel. There is no power or chains that can hold you down. You have been redeemed from sickness, poverty and untimely death through the blood of the lamb. Take advantage of it and live the victorious life that you are destined to live. Remember, the scripture says; "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." (Romans 8:37). Prayer: Dear Father I glorify you adore you for the wonders of your works. The whole earth is filled with your glory. I thank you for the redemption I have through the blood of Jesus. May the blood continue to speak mercy over my life. And as often as I partake of your body and blood, I declare that every evil works of darkness is destroyed in my life in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Further Study: Matthew 26:26-29, John 6:53-58. |
Saturday, March 18th. How to Take Advantage of The Power in the Blood of Jesus in Your Spiritual Battles - 1. "And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt." (Exodus 12:13). Our physical body is sustained by blood. Thus it is written; "For the life of the flesh is in the blood..."(Leviticus 17:11). Under the Old Covenant, the blood of animals were used to atone for the sins of the children of Israel. So, instead of man dying for his sins, animals died in his place. Before the children of Israel were finally delivered from the land of Egypt, they were told to kill one year old lambs and apply the blood on the lintels and side posts of their doors. The angel of death was to pass through the land of Egypt to kill all the firstborn both of man and animals of the Egyptians. But when the angel see the blood on their doors, he will passover their homes. The children of Israel did as the Lord commanded. At midnight, the angel of death passed through the land of Egypt and slayed all the firstborn of man and animals. But there were not a single death among the children of Israel. In the same sense, Christ has become our passover lamb. You can apply the blood of Jesus by faith on the doors of your house and when death is projected against you and your family, it will passover your household. You can also just say, 'my household is covered by the blood of Jesus'. And it will be so. Reject untimely death. It is not your portion. Wicked men and women are everywhere looking for how to destroy lives with their witchcraft manipulations and enchantments. But they can't take your life because Jesus already died that you might live. So, don't be afraid of their evil schemes. They will not prosper against you. You are under divine cover through the redemption in the blood of Jesus. Always cover yourself and your household with the blood of the lamb. And when death places a demand on your soul, the blood of Jesus will speak mercy for you. Hence, it is written; "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony..."(Revelation 12:11). Prayer: Mercifully and Everlasting Father, I thank you for the redemption I have through the blood of the lamb. Lord Jesus, thank you for dying in my place. I therefore declare that untimely death will never happen to me and members of my family in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Further Study: 1st Corinthians 5:7, Ephesians 1:7, Psalms 118:17. |

Friday, March 17th. Winning Spiritual Warfare With Special Seed Offerings - 3. "And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son."(1st Kings 17:13). A certain widow from the city of Zarephath was going through a financial battle to the point that she was ready to prepare her last meal and wait for death. However, she had an unusual encounter with Prophet Elijah that changed the story of her life. God had said to Elijah to go to the city of Zarephath during the period of famine to meet with a widow that will sustain him for that period. I believe Elijah thought he would meet a very wealthy woman. But when he got there, he saw the widow and said to her; "...Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink."(1st King 17:10). I believe he made this request to confirm if she was really the widow. Under the Old Testament, it was permissible to ask God for a sign in matters you are not so sure of. And the scripture said; "And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand." (1st Kings 17:11). The widow responded thus; "As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die." (1st Kings 17:12). Her statement unveiled the source of our financial challenges. She had been selfish in the management of her finances. Her budget was only for her and her son. No budget for God and no budget for others. This is why she became broke. So many Christians are like this widow. They hardly give God the honour due to him. They hardly pay their tithes and they go to the house of God empty. In other words, they do not give offerings and even when they do, it's a far cry from what is expected of them. Prophet Elijah knowing the source of her financial situation, instructed her to prepare the meal for him first. After that, she could prepare for herself and her son. He is trying to get her to know the order of priority. It must be God first. And Elijah was standing in the place of God. And the scripture said; "...she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah." (1st Kings 17:15-16). Her story changed not just because she came in contact with Elijah but because she did the right thing. She honored the man of God first. Ironically, so many professing believers have the same opportunity to be blessed like the widow of Zarephath but refuse to take advantage of it. They despise the Pastors placed over them instead of giving them due honour. Your man of God placed over you is the change agent God has given to you. You cannot win your spiritual battles over financial challenges if you despise your man of God. Make a deliberate plan to start giving to men of God placed over you. In addition, always pay your tithes and give quality offerings. This is the key to winning your spiritual battles that bothers on your finances and many other challenges you might be faced with. Prayer: Heavenly Father, I give you thanks for the opportunity to be called your son. I also thank you for the blessings you have given to me in Christ. I ask for your grace to always give you due honour by the manners and ways I minister to servants placed over my life. As I do, may I experience financial breakthroughs in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Further Study: 2nd Kings 4:8-17, Matthew 6:33, Galatians 6:6. |
Janosky:What about the verse which says that the fire in hell is not quenched and the worms do not die? I am waiting for your lies. |
Janosky:You shot yourself at your foot. You said Gehenna was were they used to throw in gabbage and dead criminals. Notice your statement is in the past. Jerusalem is not extinct as a nation. Does that place still exist? Even in the days of Jesus, it was no longer existing. So why would you think Jesus was referring to a place that no longer exist? He certainly won't make such reference. You can't threaten me that Bruce Lee is coming to beat me because he is already dead. Jesus used the same name as a place they were familiar with to let the Jews know that there is a burning fire where lost souls will be thrown in like it was done in Gehenna. |
Janosky:Why not put grave in the place of hades and see how it sounds. The gate of graves. Read it again and tell yourself that our Lord Jesus was referring to the physical grave. Check your conscience before you make your defense. Hell is very hot ooo. If you continue to lie, you will not escape it. |
