Wait at the Pool


At Bethesda, a pool at Jerusalem, were sick people characterizing the blind, leprous, lame, deaf, impotent or what have you. They would wait for the stirring of the water by a certain angel who was used to coming at a certain season. Whoever then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in was made whole. Such was the struggle that one particular man could not lead(in John 5). He had no helper to put him into the water when it is stirred, and each time he tried moving first into the water he was overtaken by another. This continued for many years until the day of divine visitation. Jesus saw him and healed him of his sickness.
I understand that many have gotten there before you. Life is full of struggles and overtaking is allowed. But my message to you is WAIT, WAIT AT THE POOL. Don't move, don't leave because things are not working. You are not winning now. But can you just wait? The sick man waited at the pool and got his miracle one day. If he had left the pool and had gone to somewhere else to find solution to his problem, he wouldn't have met Jesus at that moment and he would have stayed longer in his problem. If you are not led, don't leave because things are not working. Wait at the pool, your day of divine visitation is coming. People have overtaken you in the race. They have gotten there before you. They have taken their cars, their house, their marriage, their fame, their miracles while you are still standing at the pool helpless. Wait at the pool still.
The test of patience is one of the tests you must pass before your divine visitation. David was anointed at 17 but he didn't become a king until he was 30 years old. In between the years he waited, learning patience. Anointing is not ministry. That you are anointed doesn't mean you should start a ministry right away. Wait at the pool and let Jesus calls. Joseph had the dream at 17 but he didn't have its physical ocurrence until he was 30. During these 13 years in Portiphar's house and the prison altogether he was waiting, learning patience. That you have money doesn't mean you should then start a business. That you have an idea doesn't mean you should launch into it now. Wait for divine direction. Wait for your visitation. WAIT AT THE POOL STILL

BELOVE! THE ONLY CONDITION CHRIST JESUS LAYED DOWN FOR RECEIVING HIS SPIRIT IS BELIEVING IN HIM..AMEN..AMEN

If you believe in him without emptying yourself of the old wine(old life), you cannot receive the new wine

Empty for the wine


As the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest shall not cease. God has a seedtime when he plants his seed into a people who are empty for the move of the Holy Spirit. He did it to the early disciples. They went to the upper room, praying, emptying their spirit, their pride and their social identities to receive the wine which is the Holy Spirit. He did it at the wedding of Cana. The empty bowls were filled with new wine, ready to serve the people waiting earnestly for it. This is a link to the scripture which says the earnest expectation of the world awaits the manifestation of the sons of God(Rom. 8:19). The manifestation of the sons of God is the harvest. But before the harvest is the seedtime. A time when God pours out his Spirit(the seed) into a people. God is always recruiting new armies into his force. The move of the Holy Spirit is so strong as it was in the old. But it is for those who have emptied their lives. It is for those who have tarried in his presence, emptying their bowl of sins, the old wine, to receive the new wine. God is still doing it across the world countries. We do not see the seedtime of a farmer but we definitely see the harvest. When the farmer plants the seeds we do not see. But when the crops are harvested it appears to everyone. No one can hide or deny seeing the harvest. The world might not notice you now, because it is the seedtime when God is making you. But when the harvest comes, no one can hide you or deny your global significance. The world will hear your voice. Nations will see you. The outpouring of the Spirit is so strong that you can't receive it and not be heard or seen by world nations. When the Holy Spirit came mightily upon the people at the upper room, their voice in diverse tongues was heard by everyone, including distant cities. You can't receive this move of Holy Spirit and world nations will not hear your voice or notice you. It's a matter of time.
God told me to tell you that you should empty for the wine. Empty your body of sin. Let him not find formication in you. He is going round the world, looking for empty bodies, pouring out his seed, the power of the Holy Spirit for the emergence of a new armies of the Lord.

TRAINED

The Spirit of God has made me(Job 33:4). I am trained to discover people by their words, not waiting till they act. I do not wait for their actions to know who they truly are and the integrity of their words. I know them by their words. When they say A, I know they are B. How?, because I am trained. I am full of the Holy Ghost. I am trained like Apostle Peter who did not need any investigation to know if Ananias was saying the truth. He did not need any wait to test the integrity of Ananias. Ananias was judged by his words.
I am trained like Jesus who did not need to wait for the action of Peter to see if truly Peter would deny him. Right on the spot Peter was speaking, Jesus knew he was going to deny him. Instantly he was condemned, his disloyalty uncovered.
I won't be a victim like Eve who got herself into trouble by experimenting the words of the serpent if they are true or not. Eve could have condemned the serpent by his words. Ohh! It can be too late if you have to wait for people's actions before you know their real identity, their intents, their integrity, their disloyalty and if what they are saying is true or false. You could get some scars, waiting for their actions. You need to be trained to define people by their words and take instant safety decisions for your life and future. Jesus said to the Pharisees, "....by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned"-(Mathew 12:37). This shows a responsibility on our part also to be able to either justify or condemn people by their words, not waiting till they act before you know their true colour. You can discover someone in the Spirit right on the spot he or she is talking. Waiting for action time to prove their words might be too costly for you. You might not have the grace to bounce back or heal the wounds inflicted on you by that person. Many got themselves into troubles by giving certain people the chance to experiment their words, then moving into the relationship, marriage, or business partnership. And today, they are still living with the unbearable scars on their lives. Don't wait for the devil to act before you know if what he told you is true. Don't wait for people to act their words before you know their true identity. Be trained. Be full of the Holy Ghost. "By their fruits we shall know them". "fruits" is a conglomerate of words and actions.

Speak to refresh

Speaking is a tool to fulfilling destiny. Jesus told Peter, "I have given you the key to open and to close doors. Whatever you lock on earth is locked in heaven, and whatever you open on earth will be opened in heaven." Here, Jesus was talking about the art of speaking. You've got to speak to open doors of success and lock doors against adversaries. A closed mouth, it is said, is a closed destiny. However, it is not enough to open those doors. It is equally imperative to keep those doors open. This is why you must learn the art of speaking to refresh. Paul said, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gives the increase"-1 Cor. 3:7. We speak to plant good seeds into our lives, but we don't remember to speak to water those seeds we planted, so that there will be increase. And so, after a little while, we find those doors being shut down. You must know that it is the watering that brings the increase. There is no increase without the watering of your seeds or plants. Speaking to refresh is the art of watering. Job said, "I will speak that I may be refreshed"(Job 32:20). Proverb 18:20 says "A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled." The "....increase of your lips" in that scripture is the art of speaking to refresh when you keep saying the vision and the promises of God concerning your life. Don't stop. Keep declaring the word of God over your life. You have planted many times ago by sowing some words into your future. Keep watering those words. Don't stop at planting, speak to refresh in God's presence. When you spoke those words concerning your life, he already opened the doors, even though you may not be seeing it yet in the physical. But you must continue to speak, so that your plants will be nourished and there will be longevity of success.
There is a river of living water in you, but you must learn to always release it to water your destiny(John 7:38). God put it there so that you can always have something to refresh. And the way to refresh is to continue speaking the word. Bible says a river went out of Eden to water the garden where Adam and Eve had their daily meals; I mean trees of foods. Why was there a river? The river was meant to constantly refresh the garden, watering the plants so that they keep bearing fruit. Therefore, you need to constantly release the river in you to refresh by keep speaking the word of God concerning your future, your business, your family, your marriage, your relationship, etc. If you don't speak to refresh, your words(your seeds) won't grow or sustain it's breakthroughs.

a NETWORK

The big vision of God for man since genesis was that he should build his worship into a life of networking. Of course the purpose of the creation of man is worship. But God knew Adam could not do this alone. There was need for networking. And this is why God had to create a partner for Adam, so there could be a networking. This means two or more people who are created in his image and likeness talking together, sharing ideas, relating, helping and supporting one another to fulfill that purpose. Bible says two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labour. When one falls, the other will lift him up. When two lie together, they can keep each other warm, but woe to him that is alone when he falls because he has no one to lift him up(Ecclesiastic 4:9-11). Unfortunately, Eve did not understand the networking base of her creation. If she did, she would have talked with Adam on the forbidden fruit, asking for his opinion and, more importantly, his verdict as the head of the house, before eating it. Worship is living right. But you cannot do this alone. You need to build your worship life to a networking base. This means relating and fellowshipping with people of same spirit, people who can tell you God's mind, people who can encourage you, comfort you, give you godly advice and support you in time of storm, so that you won't drop your faith in God. This is why Bible says we should not forsake the assembling of the brethren( Hebrew 10:25) because it is the time to network. We are to come together to edify one another and give food to the hungry among us so that they won't be overcome by the temptation to drop their faith or steal, thereby defiling their worship to God. The early believers always met, admonishing one another in God's word and sharing foods. The network base of worship is the strength of the Church. And we are the church, not the building. If you are not connected with or surrounded by the right people, your worship life will soon die. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers(2 Cor. 6:14). Evil communication corrupts good manners(1 Cor. 15:33).
The network base of your worship to God is your strength. Get God, Get people, Get Strength. You cannot fulfill that purpose alone.

The Priest line

There is something about priest which holds a theme in worship. A priest identifies with his people and their sins and then offers sacrifices to reinstate them to wholesomeness. We can see this in the Old Testament when a priest would not only offer sacrifices for his own sins, but also for the sins of others in the tabernacle.
When we talk about worship, we talk about living right. Worship is about living your life in spirit and in truth(John 4:24). That is, being spiritually minded and obeying God's word which is the truth. The devil came to Eve and told her lies. But God's word that the day they eat the forbidden fruit they will surely die was the truth which Eve disobeyed. Adam who identified with the sin of Eve by eating part of the forbidden fruit represented Christ our high priest(Romans 8:1, 9:11) who also identified with our sins by coming in the form of human and being tempted like we are. Adam was therefore a Priest in the garden. He was a Priest to Eve because he performed the role of Christ to us by identifying with the sin of Eve, coupled with the fact that Bible calls Christ the second Adam(I Corinthians 15:45). Adam the bridegroom represented Christ in the garden, while Eve the bride represented the Church. We the Church are the bride of Christ who is our head, as Adam was the head of Eve. So, the first church on earth took place in the garden of Eden. But that is not where I'm going. I'm talking about the line played by priest in worship. The priest identifies with the sins of his people and mediate for their reinstallment when their worship life is defiled. Our worship to God is not wholesome, if we do not take our sinful lives to Jesus, our high priest who offered his life as a perfect sacrifice to cleanse us and reconcile us to God. And he would always cleanse us with his blood and reinstate us to wholesomeness whenever our worship life is defiled. This is why you need to come to him, no matter how dirty you are. He is the high priest and he is waiting to identify with your sins before God and obtain your forgiveness. Jesus is waiting for you. Don't let the devil deceive you that you cannot be forgiven. No matter how far you have gone in that sin, you can still retrace your steps and correct your mistakes.
The priest line is a provision for breach in constitution as regards worship to God. You will always need it when you fall into sin.

The WORD Technology

Worship is a daily activity because it is a lifestyle. Like I said in my previous message, worship has to do with the way you talk, how you dress, what you eat and how you eat, your character, and your relationship with God which glorify God. The word of God is spirit and life(John 6:63). The word of God is also the power of God(Romans 1:16). This shows that you cannot worship God without the word because you need God's power to live your life in spirit and in truth(John 4:24).
There are two types of God's word: the written word and the spoken word. But our focus here is the written word and the impacts of technology. The 10 commandments tablet was the written word of God given to Moses on Mount Sinai. This book of the law was very significant in the Jewish worship to God in the Old Testament era. The Israelites were to live their lives by the ten commandments, like Joshua said, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success". This statement explains well the significance of the 10 commandments tablet in the people's worship to God. The stone tablet was their own Holy Bible. They would take the tablet, read it, meditate and do what was written there. The Priest always took the stone tablet and read the commandments to the people to remind them. There was no substitute to the stone tablet. Today, the Holy Bible, phones, Ipad, and laptop computer Bible applications are all impacts of technology, but let me remind you that Ipad, computer systems and Phones are not books. The Holy Bible is a book. It is our own book of the law which must not depart from us-Joshua 1:8. The Holy Bible has the power and life of God which Bible applications in computer devices do not have. And the easiest way to know this is that you cannot carry phones, Ipad or computer laptop to heal a sick person, cast out demons or raise the dead, even though there are Bible applications inside. Why you can't afford substituting the Holy Bible with bible in computer devices is the power and the life of God which you need to worship God in spirit and in truth on daily basis.

The Art of Knowledge

John 4:41-42 "And many more believed because of his own word; and said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world" Worship is a function of knowledge, because you don't worship what you don't know. Knowledge preceeds worship; that is the right order. But the opposite is the case of many people. They worship what they don't know. I mean they have never had personal encounter or meeting with God whom they worship. In the above scripture, the people had personal meeting with Jesus and they knew him better, after hearing about him from the woman of Samaria. And Bible says they believed in Jesus because of his own word. That is worship. Having a personal encounter, meeting or relationship with God is what we call worship. Taking decisions in your life or doing things based on what you personally hear from God is true worship. After going to church and hearing the pastor's preaching or counseling, have you sought God personally to know him? Do you rely only on what you hear in church or from people about God and you think you have known God? The people in the scripture above did not hear what the samarian woman said about Jesus and believe without personal knowledge about Jesus. Bible says that after they left the woman, they went to Jesus and asked him to stay with them for some days. It was during the two days Jesus stayed with them that they had a personal knowledge about God. As a result of this, they could worship God in the true way because they have known the truth. Jesus is the truth(John 14:6). No man can worship God in truth without knowing Jesus. And when we talk about knowing Jesus, it is a personal thing. You've got to know God personally. You must have a personal meeting or relationship with God like those people did. When you do this, you will have a right sense of worship, you will know how to worship God in spirit and in truth. This is because worship has to do with everything about life,e.g the way you talk, the way you eat and what you eat, the way you dress, the way you pray, the kind of friends to have, the kind of songs you listeñ to, and so on. And there are some commandments of God that will be peculiar to you. What this means is that there are some things that Mr A is allowed to do but which you are not allowed to do. This is why you must know God by yourself and for yourself. You must have a personal knowledge about God. This is when you will have a true and perfect worship to God.

@ new temple

Worship is a communication between divinity and humanity. In the Old Testament, worship,however, was an environmental phenomenon. It used to be a religious practise, rather than being a lifestyle. And this is why people kept committing sin after many sacrifices, and blood atonement. Worship was confined or limited to temples, mountains or specific geographical locations. Let me start with the era of Adam and Eve. Worship could only take place in the garden of Eden. This means that God had to come into the garden to communicate with Adam and Eve. Communication(the art of worship) between man and God was only feasible within the garden; no where else.
In the era of the Patriarchs, people could not worship God, except they went to a temple, a mountain or a building or certain places. Worship was limited to some environments. No wonder Jesus said to the woman of Samaria that the time is coming when people will neither worship at Jerusalem or mountain(John 4:19-23). That is, you will no longer have to go to a mountain, or a particular place before you can worship God. The old temple where men used to worship has been demolished because it could not save us, and a new temple has been built. The new temple is the new heart which is given to those who give their lives to Jesus. Jesus said now is the time when true worshippers are those who worship God in spirit and in truth(John 4:23). So, worship is now a thing of your mind connecting to God in the spirit through a communication which now extends to your actions. Hence, you can be anywhere anytime worshipping God because you now have a mobile and unlimited temple which is your heart. Therefore, keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life(Proverb 4:23). NIV says "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it", while HCSB version says "Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life". This scripture explains the fact that worship is no longer an environmental practise. It is now a life through the new heart(the new temple). Therefore, it is a waste of time, whether you worship at Christ Embassy, RCCG, CCC, CAC, Winner's Chapel, Assemblies of God or whatever denomination, if you don't have the new heart where there is worship in spirit and in truth. A heart that fears God and hates sin. Ezekiel 18:31: "Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" Until you build worship into a lifestyle, your righteousness ends withing the four walls.

The Secrets of Speed(TSS) 5

The OIL

The oil breaks yokes and removes weights that slow us down in the pursuits of destiny. Bible says, "let us lay off every weight and sins which easily slow us down",Hebrew 12:1. There are some weights in your life. They are not sins; they are just things that slow down your life. They suck your energies and then a journey you could walk in 5 days would take you 10 days. These weights are some relationships or some unnecessary battles that you fight. The day I saw myself in a dream walking slowly because I was carrying a heavy bag on my back, I knew by the Holy Spirit that there were some relationships I needed to cut off, not because they are sins(as they were not) but simply because they slow me down. The oil of God upon me had done this. I am talking about the anointing. One of the things the anointing does is that it gives you light. Exodus 25:6 says "the oil for the light...." The oil lightens your spirit and tells you what you need to know. And don't forget I said, in my previous messages, that you need light to move with speed. If your life must experience speed, you need light. Light is that inspiration, divine direction, understanding or revelation.
On the day Saul received the oil of God upon his head(when Samuel anointed him) his life experienced a speed. That day, Saul prophesied and people were amazed. In one day he did what he could not do in many years(he prophesied) and Bible says he turned into another man. That same day also, he received the good news that the donkeys he was looking for had been found. The news came to him with speed, because of the anointing. That is the issue. What he was looking for had been found at home while he was away still looking for it. He would have continued to suffer looking for those donkeys, simply because the news had not gotten to him. There is something you have prayed about and God has released it, but you are still looking for it because the people that will bring that good news to you have not come. Hear me, by the reason of the Oil of God, that anointing upon your head, the good news will come with speed.
Isaiah 10:27: "And it shall come to pass in that day, that that burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and that yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing". Saul's burden of looking for what was lost was taken away with speed, because of the anointing.

GRACE

By grace the Hebrew women in Egypt gave birth to their babies with unparalleled speed. Jacob was 91 when Rachel gave birth to Joseph. But Leah already had six children before Joseph was born (Genesis 30:20-24); that was a speed by grace. In just one day Joseph graduated from a prisoner to vice president of Egypt; speed by grace.
A lady got married at age 39. Nine months later she brought forth a set of twins. That was not all, her next pregnancy brought forth another sets of twins. By grace she accomplished in 5 years what others were not able to accomplish in their life time.
The grace of God which brings salvation has appeared to all men(Titus 2:11). But how we respond to grace is a factor of our different speeds in life, not always but often times. The quicker we respond to grace knocking at our doors, the quicker our prayers are answered and destiny is fulfilled. Some people, Jesus has been knocking on the door of their heart for many years but they refused to open and answer the call. They shut the door against grace and so for many years they shut out their destiny.
Open the door of your heart today and receive the Lord Jesus. Grace is calling. Would you answer? The earlier you answer, the earlier you are blessed. The blessing is not money. The blessing is vision, understanding your purpose, knowing how to fulfill it, wisdom, power, spiritual fortification and breaking of generational curse. If you seek money first without these things, it will not last and you may not go far in life; things may also take a long time to happen: Bible says "If the foundation is destroyed, what can you do?"(Psalm 11:3) Jesus said, "For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he has sufficient to finish it?"

SEXUAL PURITY

If your life must experience speed, you must be sexually pure. I will tell you why. It takes power for anything to move with speed. Name it: a car, a runner, a bird, an aircraft, even an SMS or a mail; it takes a powerful network to move with speed. There is nothing internally empty or weak that moves with speed. Bible says God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us(Eph 3:20). Can you see that you need God's power in your body to move into your miracles exceedingly and abundantly above your human capacity? This is why your body must not be defiled because it is the power house of your soul and your spirit. Flee from all sexual immoralities that defile your power house(your body). Bible says that your body is the temple of God and that there is no agreement between the temple of God and Idols. Whatever is not of God is an idol. God now says, "I will dwell in you and walk in you"(2Cor.6:16) and then he will give your the power to make wealth(Deut. 8:18). Will God now dwell in a body that fornicates? Will he dwell in you when you look at nude pictures? Will God's power that will move your life forward with speed dwell in you when you snap your nude pictures and send them to your boyfriend or girlfriend? It is not possible. Formication hinders progress and makes a man's journey to be long, because in doing it you are spilling away your strength and your power; and you are now either empty or your engine is knocked.
Let me tell you more: God said he will destroy you, if you defile your body(his temple) in 1 Corinthians 3:17. Is this not enough to tell you that you are going no where? Reuben slept with his father's concubine and he was cursed. He lost his power and dignity. His descendants were small in population and did not live up to full capacity, couple with pre-mature death(Gen. 49).
Proverb 5 says you should flee from formication. Otherwise, you will give your honour, your years, your wealth and labours to strangers, and you will mourn at last when your flesh and your body is consumed. WHAT IS THE CONDITION OF YOUR POWER HOUSE, if you desire speed in your life?

OBEDIENCE

Obedience to instructions from God gives speed to fulfillment of dreams and God-given visions. Abraham obeyed God in Genesis 12 and in Genesis 13 we read that he became very rich in gold, silver and cattle. What he could not achieve in so many years of his life was achieved within a year when the word came to him to leave his father's house. Listen, until the word comes to you, things will not happen in your life. Bible says in Amos 3:7 that the Lord will do nothing, until he reveals his SECRET unto his servants the prophets. There is a time that a word you need for a change in your life will come. When that word comes, your obedience to the word willl release your breakthroughs. Abram's destiny had been delayed for so many years; no breakthrough, nothing was working, things were bad, until his own word came to him, he obeyed and he was blessed with a great speed.
For Abram, the word was to leave his family and his father's house. For Isaac, the word was to stay in Gerar and not run away to Egypt because of famine in Gerar. Isaac obeyed and sowed in the land of Gerar, and in that same year he was blessed hundredfold. He became very great within a year. What a speed!
The word came to Peter and some other disciples of Jesus to cast their net on the right side of the ship. They obeyed and they caught lots of fishes they could not catch for a whole night. What a speed! They had toiled all night and caught nothing. But when their word came they obeyed and had what other fishermen could never have for days.
Don't argue with the word when it comes, just obey. God will speak to you. He can use any means to deliver your word to you. Get ready for that word. Be in the right position. The word can come anytime, anywhere. Stay tuned to the Holy Spirit. Don't be too busy in the mind. A speed is coming your way. A speed to your destiny. A speed to your manifestation and the beautiful place God has prepared for you.

The Secrets of Speed(TSS) 1

LIGHT

Light gives speed. The secret behind God creating the world within 6 days is light. The earth was full of darkness in the beginning. And God looked and saw that without light on the face of the earth, the creation project could not be possible, and with light the project would be completed with speed. Imagine yourself in a dark room working and you can tell how impossible and how long the chores would take you. Many house projects have been abandoned, as a result of absence of light. I am not talking about physical light. I am talking about revelation or understanding on what to do next about those projects. I am talking about inspiration or direction from God on how to go about that project in your hand and complete it in time. Bible says the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding(Job 32:
You need light to move with speed. When your life is full of light, your destiny will be fast tracked. What takes others many years to accomplish can take you few months to accomplish when you have light on your inside. And with light you can spend little money to do what others are doing with millions of naira. All you need is light in form of inspiration, revelation, understanding and divine direction. Your mates may have gone very far ahead of you, don't worry; at the appointed time and with a spark of light upon your spirit, you will see yourself overtaking and accomplishing a lot within very few time. Light is so powerful. When you get to it's juncture, you will understand better what I am talking about.
Now, there is something I must tell you. When God gives you light, you must separate yourself from darkness. What do I mean? I mean when God gives you that idea, that inspiration, that understanding, that vision, on what to do about that business, that plan, that ministry, that marriage or whatsoever project it is; you must separate yourself from people who do not believe in you or your vision. You must separate yourself from bad friends, unbelievers, and discouraging spirits, because they will kill that light in you. After God created the light, he separated the light from darkness because the light was good and it must shine, it must not be hindered(Genesis 1:4). You too must do the same, if you desire speed in your life. No more delay in Jesus name!
ASK GOD FOR LIGHT

THE SEX I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!:
I can say that was the best sex I have ever had. We did everything in pre-intimacy and the actual sex was not in this realm. Waves of orgasm swept over her body and my very self felt highly satisfied. As I stood up from her and was putting on my boxer, something strange happened that has never happened in all my sexual adventure. Right there in the room, like in a trance, I saw an image like my self walked out of my body. I was so scared as the image bowed his head and was walking backward to the door. I screamed, I shouted, I was shivering seriously. My girlfriend stood up and was asking me what is wrong with me..She shouted that I should keep quiet, but, No! I kept shouting as I saw like myself walking away from me. To my surprise, I kept on telling my girl friend to look at this image and she said, she could not see anything. I became terrified. It was like I was in the oven, at the same time, it was as if I was in a cold room. I watched the image walked backward to the door & when it got to the door, it turned to go out of the door, as I watched the back of this image, I saw an inscription written on it ' EXCELLENT SPIRIT'. I screamed and shouted because, though I am not a serious Christian, but I know what it means to have an excellent spirit and to lose it. I have been leading the whole department in my school. Lecturers consult me privately to explain some hard topics. I was a genius. It is this brilliance and handsomeness that made me the desire of most ladies on campus. While I was crying and weeping bitterly, my girlfriend bursted into serious laugher. I was asking her why the laughter, and she said, you are Number 5. I will get the remaining 5 to make 10. I asked her to explain what she meant, she just laughed harder. She carried her bag and walked out of my room and said, 'enjoy your shadow'. Till today, I can't trace this lady. I have tried looking for her, I can't find her. Right from that day, I knew I became empty. I have the best result in my department, but no destiny results to show for it sir. I lost something that day, I knew I lost it. I have been praying and asking the Lord for restoration. Atimes, I feel like I am so empty. I wished that sex never happened or never happened between me and that lady. I lost excellent spirit!
This was a confession of a guy to me some years ago. He wept bitterly in my office. I could not comfort him. He graduated as the best student in his department but if you see him at that time, you will never believe he went to school.
Dear precious one, there is something deep about sex! I know some will read this and scorn it. You only know yourself, you don't know 2 out of 10 about the person you want to have that sex with. Are there no thousands of people who have lost their own ' excellent spirit' too just because of 10 mins sexual pleasure. Flee fornication! Flee adultery!. One round of sex is enough to round off your glorious destiny. Enjoy sex with your spouse only! Singles, wait! You won't die. Wait. Before you remove your pant for that guy /lady to commit fornication, think! Rule your desire or ruin your destiny. I am warned! You are warned!
Thanks for reading. #copied

FOOLISH FAITH

Yes, there is a foolish faith. There is a foolish faith to salvation and there is a foolish faith to destruction or frustration. We can remember instances of foolish faith to frustration or destruction in my previous chapters on Saul, the woman of samaria and Sarah. Another instance is the faith of the seven sons of sceva devoured by the evil spirits whom they attempted to cast out(Acts 19). Perhaps you are working hard to fix that problem but you are not saved; faith will not answer for you.
The foolish faith to salvation, on the other hand, is the kind of faith Jesus had when he was very hungry in the wilderness, but did not compromise his assignment on earth. The faith Job had when he lost everything in one day, including his health, but he still believed in God. The faith Elijah had when he prayed seven times before a small cloud showed up to signal the rain to King Ahab. The faith Abraham had when he gave his only son to be sacrificed to God. The faith that will make you look stupid and very unreasonable. The faith that will shake you and tests how much you love God.
Foolish faith makes you inflict yourself with sufferings to serve God and invest in his kingdom. Bible says Jesus became poor, so that we might be rich. He became a 'sinner' that we might become righteous. If every man can imbibe this nature, the world would become a better place.
Foolish faith is you still living by his standards, even when things get worst. The faith you have when all doors are closed but you are not reaching to man to open any of the doors. The faith you have when you have lost everything but you are still giving to God. That is the point!

PART B: What is the difference between HOPE and FAITH?

Hope means the belief and expectation that something wished for can or will happen. To hope means to expect or wish; to be optimistic. Faith, on the other hand, means to create a evidence of the thing you expect or wish or belief. Simply put, faith means to create an evidence of the thing you hope for or, to say it in another way, an evidence of your hope(Hebrews 11:1). That is simply the difference between hope and faith. Very simple but loaded analysis.
What kind of evidence? Faith is creating the word evidence of the thing you expect( that is the thing you hope for). This is what I'm saying. For example, you hope that the business you just embarked upon will prosper, will work out and succeed. Faith is now creating a word evidence of that hope(those expectations). What this means is that you find and look at what the word of God says about that business. When there are oppositions against that business and it's looking as if it won't work out, you are not perplexed or afraid, because you are only seeing(looking at) the word evidence about the prospect of the business. You are not looking at what is happening in the physical. You are looking at the word evidence(that is, what God says about the business). That is faith and this is why you must hear before faith. You must hear from God to do it before exercising faith that it will work. This is why Bible says faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word. You may have a paper word evidence which is the Bible or the spoken word evidence which is the voice of God which could either be heard by your ears or in your mind.
Hope melts away in the face of confrontations but faith does not die, because it is an offshoot of immortality which is God's word. The word of God lives forever. Bible says faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word. This is why I said faith is an offshoot of God's word.
Hope is short-lived but faith lasts long. Faith endures for long, but hope will fizzle out when it sees troubles. When the wind blows, the storms of life range and the enemies come in like a flood; hope will surrender and die but faith will still stand. Many of us have hope, not faith; though we claim the latter. That is why when we have some little problems or challenges, we begin to panic and start looking for help elsewhere. We start looking for alternatives, instead of fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.

Chapter 4: Have you exercised faith many times but no results?
SIN
Faith cannot work amidst sin. Sin is an opposite of faith and they both cannot co-habitat. Bible says shall we continue in sin and expect grace to abound?, God forbid! -Romans 6:1-2. Is your walk clean with God? Do you respect his opinion over your life? Aren't you doing it your own way, asking God for an approval? That is sin! I mean doing it your own way is sin.
Saul did it his own way several times and he failed. If you have been following my previous teachings, you will remember what i shared about him. Sarah did it her own way by letting Haggai her maid to sleep with Abraham and she created a mess still affecting the world today. The woman of Samaria did it her own way, attempting 7 husbands with an assumed faith that one would work but she failed.
Come with a clean hands, your faith will produce results. No matter how hard you try to make that business or marriage or that relationship work, you are bound to fail, if your life is not pleasing to God. And if things seem to be working anyway, though you are living in sin; when the wind of life blows and there comes the flood and the rain, the house will crumble because of bad foundation-Matthew 7:23-27.
GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER!

Chapter 3: Have you exercised faith many times but no results?

May be IT IS NOT TIME

You have gone to mountains, you have fasted and prayed so many times, you have gone for vigils, you have had sleepless nights praying and casting demons, you have even given to the poor and have done everything possible to see your dreams come through, but no results, probably because it is not yet time for your manifestation. May be It is not time for what you are asking for. Luke 1:80 "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation unto Israel". If it's not time, nothing will happen, even if you sleep on mountains or do 100 days fasting. Bible says there is a time for every purpose and a season for everything under the sun. At the appointed time, the results will show. Consider these Scriptures below:
Psalms 145:15: "The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season"
Habakkuk 2:2-3 "And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."
Leviticus 26:4 "Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit"
Continue to live a holy life, pray, give, fast, and give thanks in faith, do not be weary in well doing, for IN DUE SEASON YOU SHALL REAP, if you FAINT NOT IN YOUR FAITH. God bless you.

Chapter 2: Have you exercised faith many times but no results?
DID YOU HEAR?
You can continue to fail as long as you do not hear before you take actions. There is no size of faith that can work, if you don't, first, have a word from God to go into that business, that career, that marriage or whatever. Faith is not independent. You must hear for your faith to work. Bible says "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"-Rom.10:17. If you move ahead to take that action without hearing from God that you should, your acclaimed faith will not work, no matter your anointing or the size of the faith. Faith is product of hearing as child is product of mother. If there is a child who does not come through this natural way of procreation, there is a problem. The same problem when you exercise faith in taking some steps or decisions of life without hearing, i mean hearing the word of God that says "go ahead", "yes", "you can", "i will give it to you". Even Jesus, who was not conceived by human mating, came through a mother.
A friend of mine some years ago had a serious headache. I have never prayed for any sick before. I have never healed any sick before. But on this day, I heard from my inside "Yes", after consulting the Holy Spirit in me, "Can I perform a miracle here?". The Holy Spirit told me to go home and take my anointing oil and pull off the shirt on my body, give him a shot of the oil, pour little on his head, cover his head with the cloth and pray for him. I did these and the headache left that day. A week later, my friend got a call about the death of a family relative, a man. I prayed for him on a Saturday, the man died on the next Saturday. The Holy Spirit confirmed that the death was shifted from my friend to the man. Why this story? There is power of potency in your faith, if you hear from God to do it.
"...and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?"-Rom.10:14. Many times, before David would go into battle, he would, first, consult God if he should go and if God would give him victory. It is not every sick people around you that you will heal, it is not every dead people in the world you will raise up. There are sick and dead people you have been assigned to from God. You won't be led by God to everybody. Jesus did not raise every dead body when he was on earth. It's not every place you should go and preach on the platform of faith. It is not every business or career or relationship your faith will make it work. I mean not to say that your faith cannot work everywhere, neither do I disagree that there is nothing faith cannot do. My point, rather, is that you are not called to be everywhere. Some things are not just given to you to do by God Faith is not something you just start doing. It must be acted on a word from God.
If you have exercised faith many times but no results, prove your hearing. The problem might lie there. That is the message.

Chapter 1: Have you exercised faith many times but no results?

Faith is believing in the unseen, believing in the spiritual and acting on the word from God(not your own idea) to get it physical.
May be you are GAMBLING
I am not talking about money gambling. I am talking about you trying both the physical and the spiritual to see which works. I am talking about you talking to God and at the same time talking to one man at one corner of your heart about that thing you desire. If you have water in your bowl, do you also pray for rain into your bowl?, certainly no. Empty bowl will have the rain instead. Faith does not have alternative. You have to trust in God alone. No plan B. Having another plan, in addition to God, to get what you want is simply Gambling. If you want the rain, empty your bowl. Let it be that the only thing heaven is seeing in your bowl is your faith. Hmmm! I know u got that! Faith is spiritual. Your bowl is your heart. When God is looking down from heaven before he orders a rainfall, he is not seeing water already in your bowl, but faith.
Several times, Saul thought he was exercising faith, but he was actually gambling. God told him to destroy the Amalekites and spare no life. He did not kill their King and the best sheep and oxen, with 'faith' that God would accept them as sacrifice.
In 1 Samuel 13 also, Saul was to wait for Samuel in Gilgal to receive guidelines on how to offer the burnt offering to God, in bid to overcome the Philistines. After 7 days, Saul could no longer wait for Samuel and he got by himself a plan B by making the burnt offering in his own way before Samuel arrived, with 'faith' that it would fix the problem. God was, rather, displeased by this and declared through Samuel that his kingdom shall not continue.
The woman of Samaria seemed to exercise faith many times but no results. She had had 6 husbands at different times. And what i see is a woman who had 'faith' that her marriage would work each time she had a new man and changed him when things were not going fine. As she was believing God that one would work, she also had an alternative at one corner of her heart, another man somewhere. In a good study, her actions can be said as gambling, not faith, as you too can agree with me. Faith does not have alternatives. Faith is patient. Faith endures. Faith looks unto God, not man. If she had faith, she would look unto God for satisfaction and not seek satisfaction by changing husbands. No wonder Jesus came to her to give her the living water(the holy spirit who is the source of a satisfied life)
Many times we are doing gambling, not faith.

- Michael Seyi Babalola

After affirming God had told him when to start his calling, a young man made a decision to save money towards the time of having a full time ministry, bearing in mind that he would quit his job. My question is this: Would you say this decision is wisdom or lack of faith that God can provide all his needs without his job? Your opinion is highly needed.

Oya! If you know literature, what Figure of Speech is this: "Once Upon A Time, 3 Witches Wished 3 Wishes, but Which Witch knows Which Witch Wished Which Wish?"

BLIND FOR SOMEBODY

A man was born blind and lived blind for many years, so that the works of God might be made manifest in him(John 9:1-3). His blindness was neither caused by his sins nor his parents'sins, Jesus said. This man was grown up, probably in his 30s or late 20s and I began to wonder why a man could be blind for many years just because of one day that Jesus was to perform a miracle through him. I then grabbed the message that the blindness was because of Jesus. Yes, I know many of us talk about discovering our purpose and helping people because we were created for solution, we were created for a purpose, bla bla bla. But when it comes to we passing through some unpleasant situations or delays of life, we begin to think that it's all about us and we start devising ways to come out, even when we know that these things were not caused by our sins. Let's assume the blind man had looked for a sorcerer who then used witchcraft power to open his eyes, definitely he would have destroyed the PURPOSE FOR HIS BLINDNESS which was GOD MANIFESTING THE POWER OF JESUS IN HIM. One thing you must understand is that the day this blind man was healed by Jesus and he started seeing, many people were encouraged in the Lord, many were convinced to follow Jesus and many believed in Jesus as the true son of God, all because of this one miracle. And this elaborates the PURPOSE FOR HIS BLINDNESS. He was simply blind for Jesus and many who would surrender to Jesus through his experience. If we know this, we will be patient for God and we will continue to live a holy life, because we know that the unpleasant situation we are experiencing is not about us, but it's all about Jesus. Your financial struggles is all about Jesus, your collapsed business is all about Jesus, your marital challenges is all about Jesus, your academic battles is all about Jesus. It matters a lot to God. In fact, it is a God's business and God has 90% shares in the profits that are generated from it, the remaining 10% is yours, so don't do anything 'funny' about it, because once you do that, you have spoilt his work. Leave it to God. God wants to use that bad situation to manifest His glory, His power, and to bring many lives to Him through your experience.
2 Corinthians 12:8-10: "For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness" Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong", Apostle Paul speaking.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump go into a bakery shop. As soon as they enter the bakery, Trump steals three pastries and puts them in his pocket. He says to Hillary: “See how clever I am? The owner didn’t even see anything, and I don’t even need to lie. I will definitely win the election.” Hillary says to Donald: “That’s the typical dishonesty you have displayed throughout your entire life, trickery and deceit. I am going to show you an honest way to get the same 3 pastries without stealing or lying, and also prove that I am much clever than you!” Hillary goes to the owner of the bakery and says: “Give me a pastry and I will show you a magic trick?” Intrigued, the owner accepts Hillary’s offer and gives her a pastry. Hillary swallows it and asks for another one. The owner gives her another one. Then Hillary asks for a third pastry and eats that, too. By this time, the owner is starting to wonder where the magic trick is and asks: “What did you do with the pastries?” Hillary replies: “Look in Donald’s pocket!”

YE ARE NOT OUR gods

How long shall we worship things that cannot save us? How long shall we see our deliverance in things we own in our hands? I remember Bishop Francis Wale Oke saying God told him that anything that he cannot give to Him is an idol. God said this to him while he was struggling in his spirit about giving to God some plots of lands which he was planning for University building. That is the truth. Anything you cannot give away to God is a god. It can be money or your job. It can be your lifestyle. I had an encounter with this revelation when the Holy Spirit took me to Hosea 14:3. It says: "Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy". When you say you have a lot of financial responsibilities and you hold on to the little money in your hands, it is a confession that that money is a god to deliver you from your needs, rather than giving it to God who has the power to clear all your bills and change your story in the twinkle of an eye. God can bless you exccedingly and abundantly more than your targets within few seconds. Bible says even the fatherless(the one who has no helper) finds mercy in God.
I need you to declare that that money, that land, that job, that house and that property are not your gods. If God has asked for any of these things, please release it to Him. He can give back to you ten folds of it. Don't manage poverty by holding on to the little in your hands. Rather, manage abundance by giving the 'not enough' to God. And don't limit yourself by holding on to the abundance in your hands. Rather, let God sets your limit through your abundant sacrifices. Yes, Solomon made ONLY GOD to set his limit by giving God 1000 burnt sacrifices in Gibeon. That day, God told him that no king in his lifetime will measure up to his level of riches.That's God setting a limit for Solomon.
Whether little or abundance, whatever you cannot give to God is a god, an idol. And whatever you have made as a god will define your life. It will define your measure of prosperity. It will define your limit in life. It will define how far you will go in life.

GIVE GOD WHAT YOU HAVE TO GET WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.

MISSION TO DISCOVER

I discovered that life responsibilities are ways to discover the strength in us. And this tells that a man whom God will use to do extraordinary things in life must start to accept life responsibilities pushed to him by God. David keeping his father's sheep in the wilderness never knew he was on a mission to discover his strength, until he had an encounter with a bear and killed it. What about Jacob? Jacob did not discover his strength, until he had an all night wrestle with God and prevailed. God had to grab his hip out of joint to show him that he is the ALMIGHTY. That day Jacob was blessed.
The truth is this: you need to reduce your diet to know how much you can fast, you need to separate yourself from family to know how much you can be independent, you need to stop seeking words from pastors to know much you can hear God by yourself, you need to go through some rough processes of life to know how much rugged the God in you is. You need to start taking certain responsibilities for your life. You need to start fighting some bears in the wilderness of life to discover that you can kill a Goliath.
David told Saul that he could kill Goliath because he once killed a bear when he was keeping his father's sheep in the wilderness. David would have not discovered this, if he had not been accepting some responsibilities of life like keeping his father's sheep in the forest.
Whenever you are presented with life responsibilities and confronted with challenges of life, you are actually on a mission to discover your strength. You are on a mission to discover yourself and the God in you-how big He is. Peter was already on a mission to discover his strength by walking on the sea, until his heart fainted from this responsibility of choosing to be like Jesus. Job was on a mission to discover his strength(how much he could suffer to serve God) and how much God loved him when troubles started befalling all that he had.
DON'T FAINT IN THE FIGHT, YOU ARE ON A MISSION TO DISCOVER.
