Crime / Re: Robbers Who Use Charm To Open Padlocks In Lagos Caught & Tied Up By Mob (photos) by yommyuk: 8:10am On Jun 16, 2016
With the lynching and burning going on in Naija, these idiots still have the audacity to steal especially in Mushin ?

These youths need proper re- orientation that stealing does not pay. Menial jobs like cleaning the street, working on building sites, washing plates in Bukas, cutting bush in rural areas, etc are everywhere. These jobs are better than stealing, getting caught and burnt in broad daylight. At the end of it all, go to hell and burn eternally.

Religion / The Core Of Christianity by yommyuk: 7:49am On Jun 16, 2016
Belief in Jesus Christ is the core of Christianity. Knowledge of who Jesus is and what he did for us must be accompanied by confidence that this truth applies to us. As humans, our nature is to rebel making us natural sinners. Our deeds cannot earn us God’s favour. His grace is free towards us as long as we believe in his one and only begotten son. No matter how terrible our sin was/is in the eyes of the world, our sins have been paid for by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Finally, by faith we have been adopted into God’s family on the basis of Christ’s atoning death.

It is unfortunate that some people see these facts as information only, rather than life-changing truths. They cannot comprehend the magnitude of these spiritual realities in the life of a believer. Islamism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism call it a make-believe and misapprehension. This is the reason some Christians try to merge their belief system by compromising their faith with these other religions. They say we are worshipping the same God. Nothing can be further from the truth.

A Christian conviction is that nobody can come near the Father without going through Christ. He is the truth, way and the life. There is no other way. It is our duty to tell those who are outside the Christian faith.

Don’t force it. But proclaim it.

Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Revelation 1:1-6
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood ... He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God his Father. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.

Politically and constitutionally , his role is limited to a ceremonial and cultural one. To stay relevant, he must enhance the black consciousness globally, promote unity and cultural ties.

Globetrotting with a horde of unknown entities is wasteful and unnecessary.

Religion / Believe In Jesus Christ And No One Else by yommyuk: 9:01am On Jun 15, 2016
From the beginning, God has used mighty men and women to accomplish his purpose on earth. These people carried out their assigned tasks proficiently. One of them was Moses. He gave God 40 years of his life dutifully and humbly. He had to deal with a tough crowd of people who consistently infuriated all his efforts. Subsequently, He reacted wrongly and did not enter the promise land. A lesson all Christians should learn. It is God who does the work in bringing people into his prefect will. All we can do is enlighten.

For this reason, God gave us Jesus Christ (divine and human). Whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (Peace). To believe in a human being is unwise. No matter how powerful, talented, graceful that human may appear. In God’s presence, we are all the same.

When Christ died on the cross, the veil of separation was torn. Access to the throne of grace was granted.

Live a godly life, obey God’s commandments and use the name that is above all names (JESUS CHRIST) as your key to unlock the desire of your heart.

John 14:13
Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Luke 10:17
The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

Acts 4:30
While you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

Romans 10:13
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Religion / Standing Against Wrong Life Styles In Prayer by yommyuk: 7:55am On Jun 14, 2016
In the city of Orlando in the United States, a young man decided in his heart to go out and kill as many people as he can due to a lifestyle that he totally disagrees with in the name of Islam. The reason he carried out the massacre, 99% of Christians will agree with him on that wavelength. However, the way he chose to tackle the situation is wrong.

There is a growing trend of Islamist worldwide who use terror to curtail sinful lifestyles, while Christians are sitting back in their comfort zone. As long as the situation is not at our doorstep, it is alright. The devil is a liar.

1 Corinthians 10:4-6
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holdswink
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled


As Christians it is our duty to stand against such way of life with prayer and fasting. Ways of life that do not conform to the will of God has to be cast down. Lustful imaginations have to be brought into captivity in obedience to the will of God. If we sit down and do nothing. The Boko Harams, Al Qaeda’s, IS and other terrorist’s groups will do our job for us. Don’t be surprised if they start coming to our doorsteps (in the church)

In our daily prayers, let us remember those who met their premature death for a lifestyle they chose to live. But let us pray for those who continue to live such life style. That the God who brought us out of darkness into his wonderful light should bring them out of where they are into his presence.

Ezekiel 37:9-10
Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.’”
So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army.

Religion / A Balanced Prayer by yommyuk: 6:39am On Jun 13, 2016
There is a spiritual illiteracy within the church when it comes to prayer requests. A lot of people centre their prayer on needs, weaknesses, failure or fear. In principle this is not ultimately wrong, but the balance has got to be right. Proclaiming God’s greatness for what he has already done reconciles the equation. Thanking God for what He has done, doing and will do is a significant thing to do.

Jehoshaphat cried out to God about his terrible predicament, but he also exalted the Lord’s attributes, acknowledging the great things He had done for them. When we pray with this attitude, we become stronger, bolder, and more forthright. That’s why knowing the Word of God is so important. When we read about how the Lord has worked in the lives of others, we better understand His awesome power and might. Then we can look to the men and women of the Old Testament as an example and begin to pray in a similar way. God’s wonder-working power is still available to us today, and He wants His children to access it.

By proclaiming, “Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You” (2 Chron. 20:6), Jehoshaphat was praising God and at the same time reminding himself of the Lord’s greatness. As you pray, speak to God of His mercy, talk to Him about His grace, and recall His mighty power.

Do you want to revolutionise your prayer life? If you give as much attention to declaring the attributes of the Lord as you do to making requests, your prayers will take on a whole new dimension. They’ll cease to be self-centred and instead will become God-centred.

Job 37:5
God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend.

Psalm 147:3
He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.

Romans 8:28-30
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Religion / Exercise Your Faith By Obeying God by yommyuk: 7:43am On Jun 12, 2016
Daniel and his friends were in a strange land, prisoners of a king who sought to benefit from their superior skills and intellect. As he grew to manhood, Daniel managed to operate within the foreign system without compromising his belief in the heavenly Father. He did not eat forbidden foods. He did not bow to idols. He valiantly maintained his prayer times, even in the face of persecution and punishment. God honoured Daniel’s faithfulness, rescuing him from the lions’ den and blessing him with great favour. At every crossroads, Daniel chose to follow the commands of the Lord. He still had to endure trying situations, but God was ever faithful in His protection and provision.

The biblical principles in effect during the Babylonian captivity still hold true. God promises to make secure those who obey His Word. He doesn’t promise that we will avoid trials and hard times, but He does say that He will accompany and help us every step of the way. Proverbs 12:13 states that the righteous will come through trouble.

If you know there is sin in your life, then fear, doubt, and frustration are certain to follow. The Lord’s comforting security is available to anyone, but the prerequisite is obedience to His Word. Don’t expect God’s blessing if you are living in rebellion.

Conversely, obedience will result in courage and contentment regardless of your circumstances. Throughout his life, Daniel repeatedly refused to change or bend his principles, even in the face of what appeared to be sure doom. God intervened every single time—and He will also act on your behalf.

James 1:2-4
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Psalm 9:9-10
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

1 Peter 1:6-7
In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honour at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Religion / Misplaced Priorities by yommyuk: 6:10am On Jun 10, 2016
A lot of my European friends tell me that they used to be choir boys when they were young. But most of them have fallen away from the faith as they got older. They have drifted away due to worldly influences around them. Same thing happened to me, but God found ways to humble me with life challenges.

In the age we are living now, these worldly incitements are stronger. The urge to follow the ways of the mainstream is right in your face. It takes the grace of God to keep one’s feet on solid ground.

The key to overcome is to get saturated in the word of God, day and night. It will enable you to prioritise your goals in life. Misplaced priorities have become the order of the day. It is high time we choose what is really worthy to pursue in life.

Luke 12:34
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Exodus 20:3
“You shall have no other gods before me.

Philippians 4:6-8
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Proverbs 21:21
Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honour.

Religion / Learn To Overcome Your Weaknesses by yommyuk: 6:08am On Jun 09, 2016
To believe in Jesus Christ is the wisest decision a human being can make in a life time on earth. You become a new creation set apart for God’s purposes. God has a precise plan for every believer and provides the means needed to achieve that plan
.
Reflect on the life of Samson. He was born to deliver the Israelites from the hands of the wicked philistine oppression. He had godly parents, incredible human strength, became Judge over Israel with the authority to carry out the Lord’s will.

Samson had it all. However, he had a weakness, “LUST” which he chose to indulge in. This eventually led to his downfall by ended up a prisoner and no longer able to fulfil God’s plan.

Our spiritual equipping includes the ability to resist giving in to our weaknesses. But we must be willing to turn away from temptation and follow the Lord. Samson had enormous potential to do good on behalf of God, and so do we. But he chose sin and suffered the consequences. Which will you choose today—turning to God for help or indulging your weakness?

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Ecclesiastes 12:13
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

Religion / The Affliction Of The Righteous by yommyuk: 4:59am On Jun 08, 2016
Nowadays, a lot of so called Christians get nervous when affliction comes their way. Affliction come in different ways. Examples are victimisation, ungodly opposition, God’s discipline, suffering of a loved one, God making a statement through us for his glory to manifest, warning against greater harm. Job like afflictions, etc. The trend is to say No to afflictions. Last Sunday while discussing with a sister in church, she said “It is blessing and comfort 1 want, nothing else” (nothing wrong with that) I asked her what will she do if affliction comes her way? Will she stay at home and stop coming to church?

To the matured Christian, affliction is a spiritual fertilizer on a believer’s faith. We see affliction as a way to exercise our faith knowing that God will make a way where there is no way.

Mediate on what David went through between his victory over Goliath and his ascension to the throne. Running away from a mad, determined and murderous king Saul. Through it all, it moulded him into a wise leader, cunning warrior and a humble servant of the Lord.

Whatever afflictions you are going through, see it an opportunity to wait on the salvation of the Lord. God will always show himself strong.

Psalm 27:1
“The Lord is my light and salvation; whom shall I fear.

Psalm 4:3
“You can be sure of this: The LORD set apart the godly for himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him.”

Psalm 4:5
Offer sacrifices in the right spirit, and trust in the Lord.

Psalm 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Psalm 13:6
“I will sing to the LORD because he is good to me.”

Religion / How To Identify The Spirit Of Nebuchadnezzar by yommyuk: 7:19am On Jun 07, 2016
“Salvation is not earned but freely given to us by the grace of God” is a statement firmly rooted in Ephesians 2:8-9. This does not mean that we would not get rewarded for our deeds. For the bible says in Romans 2:6, “God "will repay each person according to what they have done." That is also the gospel truth.

Those who serve the Lord must serve him with a clean and contrite heart. This will enable the power of God to work through us according to his good pleasure. As we abide in him, He abides in us, we prosper in all that we do. We bear “GOOD FRUIT” Not as the world sees it, but as He sees it.

When God works through you, be on the alert. Human adoration will come. The spirit of Nebuchadnezzar will try and live in you. Instead of giving God the glory, you will start to crave for the glory that is due to the Lord. A situation that led to the downfall of Satan and one third of the angels of heaven. From angels, they were transformed into demons. May that not be our portion in Jesus name – Amen!

The spirit of Nebuchadnezzar is the new weapon that Satan is using within the body of Christ. Its manifestation varies, but it is from the same source. Be informed.

Isaiah 14:12-15
“How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit.

Luke 10:18
And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

Matthew 25:41
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Religion / We Are Unshakable by yommyuk: 6:45am On Jun 06, 2016
We give glory to God for keeping us in an unshakable dwelling place. As we trust in Him, we are born into His kingdom and given a new safe position referred to as being “in Christ Jesus”. This is a place where outside forces cannot disrupt us because our security is in the Lord.

For what power can stand against our sovereign Lord Jesus Christ? Everything that exists must submit to Him. Even as wars rage, injustice spreads, and governments fail, He remains in absolute control. People are allowed to exercise wickedness so that the content of their hearts will be revealed, as will their great need for a Saviour. Even the most despicable tyrant has the opportunity to repent. But those who refuse, grace will be destroyed along with everything else that violates God’s perfect order.

We live in unsettling times. The more conditions worsen, the easier it is to see why Scripture refers to God as a consuming fire (Heb. 12:29). He is burning up all that displeases Him. And He will continue until the only ones who remain are the righteous who stand under the lordship of Christ and await His kingdom here on earth.

Psalms 125:1
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever

John 15:4
"Abide in me, and I will abide in you. Just as the branch cannot produce fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me”

Religion / Let The Earth Tremble by yommyuk: 9:53am On Jun 03, 2016
God is the creator of Heaven and earth, and everything that is in it. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. Therefore, He has power over everything and can do whatever He wants with his creation.

By means of Christ death on the cross, He cause the ground to quake. During the Passover festival, He choose to send the Holy Spirit to embolden the believers in the upper room, enabling them to be bold and confident to take the gospel to the masses.

Ethical standards are falling; the world financial system are wobbling; Political alliances are swaying left, right and centre. The devil is gathering momentum with his spiritual agents in high places to distort the will of God. How do you fit in with all that is going on? Are you on the Lord’s side or on the devil side?

Are you ready to allow God to use you to shake the world around you?

Job 9:6
Who shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;

Acts 4:31
And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.

Religion / Evaluate Your Spirituality by yommyuk: 8:46am On Jun 02, 2016
When one is saved, spiritual growth and maturity is not automatic, but a gradual developmental process. A city can never be built in a day. A chicken can never become a Hen in a day. A young lion has to learn the ropes before he can become the leader of a pride. Below is a transitory list of spiritual yardsticks to help you evaluate your progress.

SENSITIVITY TO SIN
Are you sensitive to sin or see it as a necessary evil? How do you react when you see a sinful deed or commit a sin? Do you repent or continue therein?

REACTION TO CHALLENGES

How do you react to temptation and trials? Do you see them as opportunities to exercise your faith or to back off? How do you employ the principles of trust and endurance in adverse situations?

HANDLING OF OUR BLESSING

When things are going well for you, do you become proud or humble? Do feel the need to meet a need or become selfish? Does your relationship with God wither or strengthen?

It is a good practice to look at the mirror from time to time. It is called “Self-Appraisal.” I have just done one this morning, and will adjust respectively. What about you?

Job 31:14
What then shall I do when God rises up? When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?

Acts 17:30
The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,

2 Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

A Christian must be confident that the Lord is always near. In whatever you do, God’s fingerprints are all over it. Therefore, it is a must that we train our spiritual eyes to notice evidence of the heavenly Father’s presence in our life. This must not be a one-off, but a gradual and continual process.

To facilitate this spiritual process, the lifestyle has to change. Godliness and righteousness will catalyse our spiritual progression. In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8 ). Walking before the Lord with a clear conscience by taking captive unholy thoughts, habits, attitudes and words is the way to go. This will enable us to have spiritual clarity that sharpens our awareness of God’s presence and involvement in our life.

The evidence of God’s power is all over your life, if only you will endeavour to see it. Viewing the world with wide-open spiritual eyes changes one’s perspective. There is nothing new under the sun. May God continue to enable us to live in confidence with the knowledge that our God is a loving, omnipotent God, who dwells within us.

Colossians 3:5
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Philippians 4:8-9
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Revelation 22:11-12
Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.” “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done.

IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS wink

REVELATION 3:1
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write:

These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.

The city of Sardis is the place where money was first minted. A port city where commercial activity was intense. The church in that city was for the powerful and mighty. A church where the needy and poor felt out of place. The real purpose for which the church was established was neglected. Power show became the order of the day. The Spirit of God called the church - "DEAD CHURCH"

The village of Nazareth where Christ grew up is said to have a population of approximately 400 people. This means everyone knew each other. One can also conclude that this scenario allowed Christ to observe people more closely.

“By their fruits you shall know them.” – (Matthew 7:16)

In Nigeria, churches are springing up left, right and centre. People love going to church. They enjoy the outward show of worshipping God. But the fruits that are produced in the society in terms of morality, righteousness and godly living (fruits of the spirit) tells a different story entirely.

The society appears to be spiritually alive – has “a reputation of being alive” – looks spiritually vibrant on the outside – but in reality is spiritually lifeless. But we thank God that there is still a remnant within the body of Christ. We are the rock on which the gates of Hell cannot prevail.

Galatians 5:19-21
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these……”

May God never find us spiritually dead in Jesus name – Amen

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.


Brethren, if you let the fruits of the spirit grow in you, Satan the accuser shall have no power over you.

IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS wink
