Jeremiah 6:14; they have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying peace, peace, when there is no peace.
In recent times, many people live a deceitful lifestyle such that they want to portray an attractive life of sin while they are inwardly sick. Definitely, Satan will deceive many people into accepting that this life is all about the accumulation of prosperity and that it thrives in the abundance of worldly materials. This is called the self-deceit. This message is a guide to seeing that such a lifestyle is not biblical and that it is dangerous because it has a terrible end. I have identified five types of deceitful lifestyles that people live. I will further break them down.
1 .James 3:15 this wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Living a lifestyle that seeks false wisdom: This is what I categorize as a fool’s paradise. People in this group are those who cheat others and trample on their rights thinking they are smarter. The truth is that the end of such a lifestyle is in grief and it brings terrible consequences. Real wisdom is the one that comes from God directly and it rewards long life and prosperity. James 3;17
2. Jer 6:14... saying peace, peace when there is no peace.
A life that seeks false prophecy: People living in this paradise are those who seek sweet messages that will make them feel like there is no problem for them. For people in this group, the false prophecy is a consolation for their evil doings.

3. 1 Timothy 5:6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
A lifestyle that seeks worldly possessions: These are people that seek big cars, money, cloths, and other materials. These people would want to get them at all costs even if it will deny the peace of other brethren. This lifestyle does not go beyond the temporal fame that accompanies it. With it, you can still run into the devil’s trap and find it extremely difficult to come out. So, they do not save your life.
Titus 2:11 -12 ..Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,we should live soberly ,righteously, and godly, in this present world.
4. Proverb 20:1 Wine is a mocker ,strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
A lifestyle that runs after alcohol and hard drugs: For some people, drink and drugging is the solution for them to relieve grief. This is complete deceit from Satan and no quantity of drug can replace it. This message implores you to accept Jesus today and seek his wisdom which will help you out of your present troubles.
5. Ecclesiastes 5:10 He that loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he that loves abundance with increase, this is also vanlo
A lifestyle that seeks power, riches and fame: Lastly, this category of deceitful paradise describes those who run after fame and powers which they can never be satisfied with. The universal truth is that, the more we amass wealth, the more insatiable we become. It is pitiable to end up our lives chasing ideal riches and properties that we will never get enough.
On the final note, it is expected of us to come back to the reality that the only real solution to our worldly tribulations is only through Jesus Christ. Genuine wisdom is from God. And it is only through him that we can have perfect peace and inherit eternal satisfaction. Thanks! God bless.

Like 10:19 behold I give unto you, power to tread on serpent and scorpions, and over all the power of enemy, and nothing shall any means hurt you.
Todays message is of our need to be allinged with Christ so that we maximize the uses of His power and authority. The above bible verse says that we shall tread on serpent and scorpions. This dangerous creature are symbols of spiritual power of evil. The world where we are living Is full of them. Psalm 91:13 said we shall even tread upon lion, this indicates that we are living in wilderness and valley of shadow of death .
What are the challenges that confront you here? is it sickness, bareness,poverty,loneliness,,fear of ritualist, kidnappers,killer herdsmen and all forms of spiritual attack? These are the stings of scorpions and serpents
An adage says rats are carefree in house when cats become distant.You are not omnipotent you have no power over satan. There is no way you can walk alone in this dark world.
Come to Christ today accept Him as your lord and Savior, repent from your sins and follow Him faithfully. He is the omnipotent He has all Power over all the power of enemy. He will communicate this power and authority unto you .He will give you power of victory over satan evil and anything that will seek your life
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundandantly above all we ask or think according to the power that works in us.
The real kernel of this message is that nothing shall by any means hurt us if we faithfuly accept Jesus into our life and abide by Him ,nothing shall by any means hurt us. He will preserve us from all forms of dangers. It is certain that we will live a victorious life.
I implore you today to do what psalm 34:8 suggest " O taste and see that the lord is good ,blessed is the man that trusted Him.
Thank you for reading this message and I pray that you will be among those people that have victory over saran not only in this world but in eternity to come.

Perfect peace 3
Isaiah 58:11 "And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not."
God uses three words here to explain perfect peace: GOD's guide, supply, and relief. We shall now look at how they are relevant. Let's explain them here:
1. God's guidance
"And the Lord shall guide them. The Lord Jesus is our shepherd, and He will continue to guide us to truth and success. Like God provided cloud and fiery Piller to guide Israelites and guide them through the thick darkness and storming seas, He is still ready today to help us in reaching our destination. All genuine Christians need to understand how God's guidance works because this world is a wilderness.
Isaiah 43:2 "...when thou passest through the water, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shall not be burnt..." these are the pictures of the world today. BUT GOD WILL FULFILL HIS WORD
2. Continuous supply of our need
"....and he will satisfy thy soul in drought., He will supply you with all your needs on your journey to the new Jerusalem. Just like Israel on their journey to Canaan".
Our family and friends may not know the helps we need. But God will not only supply our needs, but He will also supply our needs in full, spiritual,ly or physically.
3. Relief from the weariness of life
Are you worn out like a traveler in the desert, or are you a draping young tree in the garden? God says, I will satisfy your soul in drought and make your bones fat, and you shall be like a watered garden. It is not enough to be a garden because the garden cannot do without water. Without it, the human mind cannot sustain itself. God wants us to be a watered garden. Dry gardens are deceivers and spiritual robbers.
But this garden (a church of God or a place of thorough irrigation) was planted and watered by God. This garden will flourish even amid this sinful and suffering-inflicted world. Psalm1:3 "...he shall be like a tree planted by the river of water."
All human science and skills cannot meet our needs in this journey of life. We are insatiable, and our world is filled with uncertainty and darkness. Our path in life is unknown to us, but God knows all. We only know about today, while tomorrow is in darkness. It is a path we have never gone before. That is why God says in Jeremiah 33:3.: " I will show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not."
Today, God is ready to guide, supply your needs, and relieve your worries in life. This is the perfect peace God promised those that follow Him. The prosperity is not for every " so-called Christian, " but of those who are enabled by grace. Thanks for reading, may you have a perfect peace ijn, Amen.

Perfect peace 2
psalm:25 "I have been young, and now I am old yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging for bread" Ungodly men desperately develop undue appetite ffor things that will cut short their lives(1 timothy 6:9). Their desire for riches according to Bible is a trap or snare. A snare for destruction, perdiction, and harmful lust.
In psalm 34:10 the rich man of the world are young lions that do lack and suffer hunger despite their strength. The big cars, houses and the fat account is not what you need. It is not the prosperity promised by God.
Just because they want to become rich, they steal, kill, enter covenant with Satan, engaged in ritual, join cult, offer part of their body, offer some years of their lives as a sacrifice for satan. Even fake pastors are not left out. These are who the Bible refers to as FOOLISH and HARMFUL lust which drown men in destruction and perdiction
Prosperity is a gift from: God's payback time for the obedient children. Prosperity is an honor from God, and honor is not fitting for a fool that says there is no God. It is a long period of contentment, supplying our need and refashioning of our humiliation into His glory.
Let us check the word of God in Philippians 4:19 vs. 7. "And my God shall supply your needs according to His riches in glory by Jesus Christ."
And my God.
My God here refer to a reliable supplier. God for more than 6000years ago is never in short supply of sunlight, water, gases, and multi-billions tonnes of minerals underneath the soil
It is this kind of God that we must believe and serve. Not a fake god that can only supply temporal riches or fake wealth
Medium
The medium of His supply may not be apparent to us. During the day of Elijah, this supply was sent through Raven. It was direct manna, and meat from heaven whenthe Israelites were going to Canaan.
Our need
The real prosperity is when God gives us all our needs. God does not promise us what we want rather He only promised our needs.
This rich young man in Matthew 19:21-22
This young man went away sorrowful because Jesus told him what he needs but he couldn't acknowledge it. If you are having an excess of food and many people around you are dying of hunger, how can you dream of going to heaven or being perfect? The rich man's need was to make people around him happy
According to His riches
Proverb 10:22...it is the blessing of the lord that makes rich, and he adds no sorrow to it. God's riches are pure and abundant. It ends in unlimited satisfaction even unto eternity; instead of Satan riches that end in sorrow.
Assurance
Ask, and it shall be given you. No child of God should doubt Him. He has assured us, that all our needs will be taken care of. Mat 6:33 "but seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness all these things shall be added unto you."

Perfect peace (One)
Isaiah 26:3. “You will keep in perfect peace, him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in you.” Perfect peace is a gift of God for his children, and it is a whole peace. That is long life, prosperity, something mega, abundance, making a difference, and inheriting eternal peace.
While the people of the world patronize Satan, even when this doesn't make them live forever, Christians should be ready today to walk straight to heaven since the door is opened. I Cor. I5:19: “if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most pitied.” God does not put us in darkness; He made us understand the method and purpose of His callings. Bible made us know that long life is a gift from God.
Please understand that part of the gifts of perfect peace I will be sharing with you today is LONG LIFE. There are conditions attached for us to have Gods promise- Long life. However, each of these conditions has its inherent promises. Let's take it one after another and check what the Bible says on them.
Keep Gods commandment: Proverb 3:1-2 “my son do not forget my teaching but keep my commandments FOR THEY WILL PROLONG YOUR LIFE MANY YEARS” God wants you to live long on earth, not because the earth is better than heaven, but for you to learn and teach His commandments to everybody so as to have equal opportunity.
Honor your parents: Ephesians 6:2-3. “Honor thy father and motherTHOU MAY LIVE LONG ON EARTH. The proper interpretation of Gods condition here is to respect your elders; not only your biological father and mother. Even when they offend you, it doesnt change Gods commandment to respect them.
Seek wisdom: Proverbs 3:13-16. “Blessed is the man who finds wisdom... LONG LIFE IS IN HER RIGHT HAND and her left hand riches and honor.” Dont think that only educational knowledge or spiritual understanding can make you get Gods promises, the bible says that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. It is so disheartening that many young boys and girls have wasted their lives seeking power and riches. What they end up getting is spiritual darkness because Jesus is the light of the world.
Love God than anybody and anything: Psalm 91:14- 16. “because he loves me says the Lord, I will rescue him...WITH LONG LIFE I WILL SATISFY HIM
Keep your mouth: Proverbs 13:3. “He who guides his lips guides his life. 1peter 3:10 says, “whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil.” For long life, learn to speak with grace. Avoid cursing, backbiting, and deceitful speeches. Instead of those wrong tongue usages, dedicate your time to prayers and teaching of the words of God.
Worship Him: Exodus 23:25 “worship the Lord your God, and His blessings will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you…I will GIVE YOU A FULL LIFE SPAN. There is no way anybody can stop sickness and disease. Still, GOD knows how he made us, and He can protect us. However, the condition is that we must worship Him.
Be God-fearing: Proverbs 10:27. The fear of the Lord adds length to life.” Fear of the Lord will make you depart from evils like stealing, murdering, idol worshiping, cultism, pride, adultery, and other things that may shorten your life. Matt. 7:19. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire As well, Psalm 92:12-14 “righteous tree will still bear fruit in its old age.” Isaiah 26:1&2 refers to Christian as a strong city. Even if you are weak, God that can strengthen a willow into an iron pillar. God can still restore you.
My parting word for today is Joshua 1:8, Be strong and courageous, be steadfast and cleave to God, allow Him to govern you. Thanks for the time to read through. I pray God grants you perfect peace. Amen.

Seven consequence of not following Christ
(Prov 8 Vs. 36) "But he who fails to find me harms himself; All those who hate me love death."
Non-followers of Christ are those people who reject the doctrine and teaching of Jesus Christ. Following Christ is costly and humanly impossible. You have to leave your comfort zone and be ready for persecution and rejection- sometimes your popularity, friends, and family will go. Jesus said you must be prepared to carry your cross, but what we have failed to realize is that not following Christ is costlier. I will list only seven of them
1. Lack of peace: John 14 vs. 27 "...my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth..' Peace of the world is the pursuance of vanity, and it results in an untimely death. That is why Jesus said, 'seek first the kingdom of God.' Isaiah 48 vs. 22, says there is no peace for the wicked. And Psalm 48 vs. 1 said, 'In peace, I will lie down and sleep, for you alone Lord make me feel in safety."
2. Hopelessness: Jer. 29 v 11. "For I know the plan I have for you...to give you hope and future" People without hope are the most miserable. They live a frustrated life. Many of them commit suicide, engage in rituals, fraud, and end their life in jail with sorrow. However, the Christ word of hope to you today is that' No matter what your situation is as at present, there is hope and future for you.
3. No Justification: Rom. 8 vs. 1. " There is, therefore, now, no condemnation to them which are in Christ." God will not weigh your sin against your good deeds as people preach. Isaiah 1 vs. 18 "...though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow." All God requires from you are sin confession, seeking forgiveness, acceptance of Jesus as your Lord and Savior, repentance, and following Jesus Christ. (John 3:16)
4. Lack of Rest: Matt. 11 vs. 28 "Come unto me all you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" accepting God as your lord and savior you rest from all things that torture all believers. You are free from worry, anxiety, village witches and wizards, evil herbalists, and others. Psalm 121 vs. 7, the lord will keep you from all harms..."
5. Life without holy Spirit and His gift: John 14 vs. 16, " I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever." Fake and none committed members of the church run after false prophets because they want to buy the gift of the Holy Spirit with money. All faithful followers of Christ have the Holy Spirit, which guides them successfully in this hostile world.
6. Bad end: Det. 32 vs. 29 "If only they were wise and would understand this, and discern what their end will be." This verse describes the weak intelligence of people who reject Christ as those that do not have the insight to see where they are heading. Any wise man will think about how his last day on earth will be.
7. After death: Think about this: your best friend, your big house, gold, and cars that you have labored for all the days of your life will not enter the grave with you. You need salvation right now. John 3 vs. 36 "...and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth by him. This is what the end holds
I implore you today to turn towards God and avoid all those seven consequences. I pray God helps and uphold us all. Amen.

COST OF FOLLOWING JESUS (Luke 12 vs. 51)
‘’Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth?”
With the problem facing the church today, we could hardly differentiate between Christ-followers, churchgoers, and pretenders. The church has become a hybrid of fake and original. Sometimes, it is difficult to separate them from those that truly know God. When people call themselves Christians, it is now essential to ask which kind of Christian they are; a good or bad Christian? We have evil-doers that hide under the canopy of Christianity and dent the image of Christ. The church now faces the persecutions as we have evil and chronic anti-Christ agents whose mission is to mislead new converts and fall the genuine Christians who have their feet shaking in Christ.
The selected part of the scripture today has a deeper meaning than just a question. If we should continue to ruminate on this, we will see clearly that rather than just a question, the scriptural reading indicates something about the cost of followership. There are costs attached, and Christ-followers should be ready to pay it off. The message is clear, Jesus says, my kingdom is not of this world, I do not come to give you peace on this earth. To follow Christ, you must be ready to pay the price of followership yourself. No controversial or ceremonial Christian can step feet into the kingdom of God. We are required to be certified and genuine Christian. Christians must be ready for persecution and tribulations from the world, ‘claimed’ Christians, and the spiritual forces.
Real and genuine Christians should know that there are prices to pay in this world. These are little out of many costs we owe to pay off:
Shedding off sins: (John 3 vs. 3 & Gal 5 vs. 19) Remember, God hates sins. A Christian that enjoys sins does not pay any price. Our God is holy, and we can only serve Him in holiness. God has called us out of the old life (sins and immorality) to be a holy nation and peculiar people. If you want to identify with Christ, you have to pay the price of holiness.
Get ready for rejection and more enemies: (1st Cor. 1 vs. 18) the world will surely reject and abuse you for following Christ. That is part of the cost. If you read James 4:4 from the other way round, it will read thus: “know ye not that enmity with the world, is the friendship with God?” God expects you to pay certain prices. Irrespective of the decayed world, faithful Christians have to stand out and not mix with this world. Persecution may come from even fake pastors, fake Christians, parents, possessed friends, etc., as Christians, the price to be paid is to take your ground and stand out of the crowd.
It will cost you your possession and time: God expects us to devote little out of the time and riches He has given us on this Earth to serve Him. Unfortunately, many Christians, through our lifestyles and busy schedules, we tell God, “I can’t share this little time with you.” As a true Christian, God expects that we spend time to read the scripture, pray, and preach His gospel. These are the cost of discipleship that we all must pay.
I challenge you today to give more to God and pay your cost before the owner of the soul demands it. A little contribution to the work of evangelism could go a long way. Little time to visit the orphanage homes, hospitals, and specials schools will make an excellent record. Stop giving excuses. Pay your tithe and help the needy. Support the true evangelism work of God. These are the cost of followership. Thanks for reading, & God bless you!
