Praying Your Desires To Reality

PRAYING YOUR DESIRES INTO REALITY

Mark 11:12 “And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

Prayer is the integral part of the Christian fellow that sustains his existence on earth, in total reliance on the power of GOD Almighty to keep him throughout his missionary and pilgrimage journey on the earth. Prayer is the food that nourishes the Christian which bring about his spiritual maturity and growth in exercising the divine nature and ability of GOD in the realm of the spirit. Without prayers, no true Christian and follower of JESUS CHRIST will succeed nor prevail over the forces of darkness in this wicked world Matthew 26:41. Hence the Bible says “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth 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.” 1 Corinthians 10:3-6.

As the physical body cannot live nor survived without physical food, so the spirit of the true Christian cannot live nor survive without prayer which is the spiritual food that propels his growth with studying the word.  1 Peter 2:2 “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.”  Therefore when you cultivate the acts of prayers, you will discover that nothing is actually impossible before you because prayer is faith Matthew 21:21. Faith is believing that all your petition presented to GOD in prayers will be given answers when they are prayed aright without vain repetition nor asking amiss Hebrews 11:1. James 4:2 “Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.”

The earthly ministry of JESUS CHRIST was hugely successful as it was built around prayers. Before embarking on His earthly ministry when He came in the flesh, He underwent a forty (40) days of fasting and prayers which helped Him to overcome the temptations that Satan presented to Him just shortly after the conclusion of that spiritual exercise Matthew 4:1-11. The Bible likewise gave account of JESUS CHRIST rising up a great while before the day’s activities to soak Himself into prayers so that His ministration for each day would record successes, and to the glory of GOD, His ministry was successfully run when He was on earth because he never neglected the place prayers. Mark 1:35 “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.”

Prayer is NOT an automatic ability in the Christian life. It is a habit that thrives effectively when developed and given proper attention without any divided approach or mind-set. This is the reason that the disciples of JESUS CHRIST were all prayerless fellow when they were appointed by the LORD JESUS to be His followers. One day, they confronted their Master that there was something amiss in their lives because they saw the disciples of john the Baptist praying, a thing that they themselves don’t know nor do as disciples of the LORD himself, hence they asked their master “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” Luke 11:1. This then led JESUS to teach them ‘how’ to pray. Matthew 6:9 “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”

You must be taught how to pray as a new convert to Christianity because GOD only hears one form of prayer – a prayer prayed out of a ‘pure heart’ 2 Timothy 2:22. We must not confuse ourselves with all kinds of prayers prayed today in the church by all kinds of people with dangerous attitudes and behavioural lifestyles to guess that GOD is hearing all of such prayers as prayed. No, GOD is a holy GOD 1 Peter 1:16, and He can only hear and identify with the prayers of holy believers because the prayers of saints (holy brethren) are delight unto GOD, why the sacrifice of sinners are abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 15:8 “The sacrifice (prayers) of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.”  In fact, as holy and righteous believers lift up their voices to GOD in prayers around the world, it usually ascends into heaven as incense. Psalms 141:2 “Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”

If there was anybody that needed not to pray, it was JESUS CHRIST because He is GOD John 1:1. But despite being GOD who was in human flesh in the world, he prayed unto Him that was able to save Him. His last moments on earth were dedicated to prayers hence He was able to bear all the wickedness of man against Him the moment He was arrested shortly after intensed prayers to GOD. This teaches us that despite our commitment to prayers, oppositions will still mount on our way but one thing is certain; victory is sure if we ‘faint not’ Galatians 6:9. Are you ready to pray? There is a GOD that heareth and answereth prayers. Hebrews 5:5 “So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 7 WHO IN THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH, WHEN HE HAD OFFERED UP PRAYERS AND SUPPLICATIONS WITH STRONG CRYING AND TEARS UNTO HIM THAT WAS ABLE TO SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, AND WAS HEARD IN THAT HE FEARED; 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.”

From the foregoing therefore, there are lots of supposed Christians today, though some are praying amiss and others using vain repetitions which often stalls their prayers, some however are merely ‘wishing’ and never praying. Wish is not prayer. You have to pray your desire into reality hence the word ‘PUSH’ that is often used to mean prayer – Pray until something happen. Brethren, a woman at travail in the cause of delivering her unborn child must PUSH until the baby is delivered. Why then does it appear extremely difficult that at the verge of joy and happiness, intense pains, discomfort and groanings always precede? It is because nothing good comes easy. It is because the darkest part of the night is towards the dawn. It is because no pain, no gain. When you therefore desire anything in this life to be accomplish as a Christian, win and receive the crown at the place of prayer. Hence it is often said, ‘a prayerless Christian is a POWERLESS Christian’, while ‘a PRAYERFUL Christian is a powerful Christian’, and this is nothing but the truth.

Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
Because prayers are not automatic in the Christian faith as we have to learn how to pray, as you grow in the things of the LORD, the HOLY SPIRIT will also become your teacher both in ministry and in prayers. This often is the outcome of the intercessory prayer points and requests you do present as the HOLY SPIRIT lays them in your heart. When JESUS said we should not think on what to say when we are brought before the council, He was teaching us that the HOLY SPIRIT will put the word to say in our mouths at the appropriate time when we have developed that strong bond, relationship and fellowship with Him (HOLY SPIRIT). Matthew 10:19 “But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.”

Prayer is the master key to unlock every locked situations and things in the spiritual realm and bringing them to physical manifestation. The intensity and consistency of Daniel in prayer saw him getting his desires delivered to him after it has been withheld by demonic forces in the realm of the spirit for twenty one days Daniel 10:10-14. The warfare that the true Christian is involved in the spiritual realm has prayers as ‘THE SHIELD OF FAITH that QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED’ Ephesians 6:16. We do sing this song:

Prayer is the key
Prayer is the key
Prayer is the master key
JESUS started with prayer and ended with prayer
Prayer is the master key

If you therefore know the efficacy of the power of true and sincere believers in prayers, you will never joke with prayers in your Christian ministry. We must however understand that apart from vain repetition and asking amiss that stalls our prayers from being answered by GOD, we must equally know that putting people and holding them up in our mind without forgiving their trespass against us is the most deadliest prayer killer. Friend, you must free your mind from all grudge and evil thought if at all your prayer will be answered by GOD. We must not allow the pain and injury melted to us by our fellow human being to become the basis of our prayers. Our ability to forgive others will also propel GOD to forgive us our own sins when we stand in the place of prayer.

Mark 11:25 “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
Stephen was praying when he was being stoned to death. In that agonising situation he found himself in the midst of his killers, he still prayed “Lord, lay not this sin to their charge” and shortly after those words, Stephen died Acts 7:60. Stephen was just following the footsteps of our LORD and Master, JESUS CHRIST, who has passed that same wicked treatment in the hands of the same people He abandoned His glory in heaven and come to this earth in other to save them from their sin. He cried on the cross “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” Luke 23:34. All the apostles of the LORD died devastating deaths in the hands of their persecutors, but none of them ever prayed that the ground should open and shallow their enemies, which is at variance with the saints of today who in their place of prayers bring their supposed and imagined enemies before the altar of GOD and slay them. Is this the teaching of JESUS CHRIST in handling our enemies in the place of prayer? Surely GOD will not hear nor answered such ‘selfish and wicked’ prayer request. Matthew 5:44 “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”

As you cultivate the acts and habits of prayerfulness in your Christian ministry and work with GOD, may the grace of GOD be made available unto you, so that we will not damn ourselves in the place of prayers in JESUS name. Amen.

Moreover, we must equally know that any form of prayer said and prayed outside JESUS CHRIST is an exercise in futility. No matter how ‘religious’ those forms or types of prayer may appear, they are never made unto the GOD that created the heaven the heaven and earth. Only the name of JESUS CHRIST every knees bows to. So if you are praying unto any other thing outside, you are surely wasting your time and energy for nothing because just as Baal refused to hear his 450 prophets in 1 Kings 18:19-29, you as well will never be heard when praying to a dead god. Surrender your life to JESUS CHRIST today and only then will your prayers become effective and your desires will be accomplish. Philippians 2:9 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Every shackles of prayerlessness in your Christian life and ministry, I command, break in the name of name of JESUS CHRIST. Become effective and effectual in your Christian life and ministry in JESUS name. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom!

Divorcement: Man In Contention Against The Will Of GOD

DIVORCEMENT: MAN IN CONTENTION AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD

Matthew 19:3-12
3 “The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

An adage in my place of birth says ‘if a woman does not marry two husbands, she won’t know which one is better’. This adage is not only ungodly but a direct confrontation against the word of GOD as far as marriage is concerned. GOD ordained marriage to be one man and one woman, hence the first institution He made was between Adam - singular, and Eve – singular Genesis 1:27; 2:20-25.

When JESUS declared that “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, EXCEPT IT BE FOR FORNICATION, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery” Matthew 19:9, He was correcting the erroneous practices and beliefs held earlier that once two people are sexually connected together without parental consent, that they were married. No, this was never a marriage but a practice of sin partners in sexual relationship called ‘fornication’. There’s never a marriage in such a case and therefore when these two sin partners part ways, they have not sin against the will of GOD. If fact, they have made the best decision of their lives and they will now be in a better position to truly repent and amend their ways because no fornicator has eternal life in him/her. 1 Corinthians 6:9 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: NEITHER FORNICATORS, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

Therefore, if you are involved in sexual relationship when you are not LEGALLY married, please repent and stop it now because you have used it to shut the door of the kingdom of GOD against you. The body, the Bible says is for the LORD and not for fornication. “Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body” 1 Corinthians 6:13.

But today, you see people happily divorcing their married partners even among supposed Christians and they will be excited in doing so. Even the law courts are today annulling and dissolving marriages at will just because the two married couples says they can no longer lived together. Here, do people actually know the implications of what they are doing?

And doing so, you see them jumping again into another supposed marriage when the word CLEARLY states that whoever married a divorced fellow is an adulterer. No adulterer has eternal life in him/her. You should repent now and plead unto GOD for mercy if you are in this condition. 1 Corinthians 6:9 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, NOR ADULTERERS, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” Exodus 20:14 "Thou shalt not commit adultery."

My concern is the fact that the Almighty GOD kicked against divorcement and warned that “WHAT THEREFORE GOD HATH JOINED TOGETHER, LET NOT MAN PUT ASUNDER” Matthew 19:6b. When people now take pride to annul the marriage that was constituted legally, are they not putting asunder what GOD had joined together?

Therefore, if your marriage is in disarray and heading towards the rock, please pray, seek the face of GOD and most importantly, invite JESUS our burden bearer into your marriage and the storm will cease.

Remember He said “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.

Come unto JESUS CHRIST now and your marriage shall be whole again.
GOD bless you and heal your marriage from any form of challenge right now in JESUS name. Amen. Smile, JESUS loves you.

Shalom!

Cooperating With Satan To Commit Sin Against GOD

COOPERATING WITH SATAN TO COMMIT SIN AGAINST GOD?

Hebrews 12:1 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.”

I dedicate this message to GOD the FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT.
I pray it shall liberate the souls of men from the cage of fear for disappointment, rejection and death that the devil has used to tie your soul to hell in JESUS name. Amen. Today, you shall be set free by the word of truth in JESUS name. Amen. Glory be to GOD in the Highest. Hallelujah!

“If you have nothing worth dying for in life; you are not worthy to live” – Pastor Alfred Ali, PIC Peace Zone/Area, RCCG, Yola.

To paraphrase the pastor’s quote above,
If you cannot die for your faith as a true Christian; you are worse than the infidels that have never being a Christian.
If you cannot die for truth; you are just a walking corpse in human skeleton.
If you cannot lose your education, job, marriage and forfeit all the comfort that life may present for righteousness sake; you are an irredeemable hypocritical Christian.
And, if you cannot expose the secrets of sin and sinful atmosphere due to the threat to your life and family; friend, you better just die and live this world now.

To be acquainted with the subject matter at hand, we have to first of all understand the intention and occupation of the devil. The devil’s intention is to always ensure that you are in perpetual fear in order to deceive you. And when he has succeeded in setting you up by capturing and turning your mind away from the saving grace of GOD when you are facing challenges to your Christian faith, he will then launch his wicked occupation against you which is to STEAL you from eternity in heaven, to KILL you before you repent to amend your ways, and to finally DESTROY your soul in hell fire so that you are totally and eternally lost from the GOD that created you in His own image and likeness Genesis 1:27. Thank GOD that despite the devil having the mission to steal, kill and destroy you in hell fire, JESUS CHRIST has come today to give you life in abundance. Please accept Him today as your LORD and personal saviour, and it shall be well with you now here on earth, and eternity in heaven if you accept Him. John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” NKJV.

If you don’t guide yourself and your Christian faith jealously with all aggression against the onslaught of the devil, who is determined to ensure that you lose heaven just the same way he lost it by presenting all manner of things to cage you, you will soon discover that whereas you are shouting and boasting that I am a ‘born again’, ‘Holy Spirit filled’, child of God’, ‘heaven bound’ and proclaiming all biblical proclamations and claiming all that pertains to life and godliness, the devil on the other hand would be mocking your ignorance calling and laughing at you declaring ‘foooooollllllllllll, hahhahahahahahahah’, because he knows you belong to him body, soul and spirit. Hence the Bible warned us to “Submit yourselves therefore to God. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. ” James 4:7.

The instrument that the devil used mostly and effectively to ensure that men cooperate with him to commit sin against GOD is the instrument of FEAR. You must as a matter of reality understands that ‘the fearful’ has no place in the kingdom of GOD in heaven Revelation 21:8. The devil knows that once fear capture you as a Christian, you have lost your ground and therefore, he will be able to achieve whatever evil he intended against you particularly to ensure that you lose your salvation and ultimately to damn your soul in hell fire. GOD understands that fear is a tormentor and therefore enjoined us to ‘fear not’ with sixty two verses of the Bible (according to my search). “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: BECAUSE FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18.

A lot of people today have become an object of ridicule, blackmail and cheated because they succumbed to the advances of the devil that used fear to intimidate them into submitting and cooperating with him to sin against GOD. Some people today have backslided and given up their Christian faith for other ‘religion’ because of jobs, marriages, money and acceptance in the environment they found themselves.

Others on the other hand have outrightly denied CHRIST and renounced their Christian faith when they faced the challenge of physical death. This is even knowing that the Bible had warned us never to fear the people that can only kill the body (physical death) but certainly have no power to kill your soul (spiritual death) in hell fire Luke 12:4. GOD, who is able to kill the body and destroy the soul in hell fire, is the ONLY person we are commanded to fear Matthew 10:28. This in addition you know that once you deny CHRIST before men, you will be denied by CHRIST before GOD, which means that you have been locked out from eternity in heaven. Matthew 10:33 “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”
Even at that, whether your life is spared by denying  CHRIST when you faced people that are doing the biddings of Satan (Islamic terrorists around the world), the death you are afraid of dying now will still come whether you like it or not. Why not rather choose to die an honourable death by being killed for your Christian faith and belief in JESUS CHRIST, rather than denying CHRIST and still die and face hell fire punishment? Ecclesiastes 8:8 “THERE IS NO MAN THAT HATH POWER OVER THE SPIRIT TO RETAIN THE SPIRIT; NEITHER HATH HE POWER IN THE DAY OF DEATH: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.”

And yet, some people have caught their bosses on top of their friend’s wives, some have seen their bosses making diabolical concussions around their offices; and others have caught people red handed stealing. In order to ensure that these evil secrets are not exposed to the light as it has been discovered, threat to life, threat of losing jobs and other inhuman treatment have been employed by the committers of these crime to cowed the people from exposing these sins and wickedness. Will you therefore cooperate with the devil to cover up this wickedness from being exposed; all because of the treat you were threatened? If you do so, you have succeeded in cooperating with the devil to commit sin against GOD because the Bible says “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, BUT RATHER EXPOSE THEM.” Ephesians 5:11. NKJV.

Furthermore, some students and job seekers have compromised their Christian faith in order to graduate and become gainfully employed. Your lecturers and would-be employer have threatened you that unless you perform sexual affairs with them, forget about graduation and gaining any employment under their demonic organisation. And you, because you feel that this is the only option opened for you to achieve your life desires, you decided to play along and cooperate with the devil to commit sin against GOD. In fact, these wicked and demonised lecturers and employers of labour have even boasted to you that every other person that got to them always agreed with their terms before they got graduated and employed. And you foolishly believed the lie of the devil and thereby commit sin against GOD by cooperating with those agents of Satan. The Bible warned “NOW THE BODY IS NOT FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY BUT FOR THE LORD, AND THE LORD FOR THE BODY.” 1 Corinthians 6:13. NKJV.

And also even in an attempt to get married, most people today are cooperating with the devil to commit sin against GOD. This is done when the man intending to marry you threatened that unless he sleeps with you (premarital sex) that the marriage will never be. And you because you felt that age is no longer on your side, and coupled with the fact that before this present man came by, it took you serious fasting and prayers, all-night vigil and luck to see him, you therefore agreed to his wicked proposals since you concluded that if he goes, this means the end for you ever getting married. My friend, you have just cooperated with the devil to commit sin against GOD. Don’t you know the position of GOD regarding your affairs before marriage? Hebrews 13:4 “MARRIAGE IS HONORABLE AMONG ALL, AND THE BED UNDEFILED; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.” NKJV.

Even at that, some people have caught their friend's wives in sexual immorality, and in order to hide the sin from being exposed to their husbands, these loosed women often cajoled their husband's friends into having sexual affairs with them so as to shut the door against the exposure of such wickedness. Friend, don't you ever cooperate with the devil to commit sin against GOD. Don't ever have pleasure in the wickedness they are involving themselves in so that you will have the legal ground to expose them. Romans 1:32 "Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."

Remember, anything that is not of faith, the Bible says is SIN Romans 14:23.
Ask yourself: The cooperation you are cooperating with the devil to commit sin against GOD, is it of faith? The wickedness you are hiding from being exposed by the truth, is it of faith? The agreement you entered to have sex just to get graduated and become gainfully employed, is it of faith? When you denied CHRIST just because you were threatened to be killed, is it of faith? When you accepted to convert to other religion and deny your Christian faith because of wealth, job, and marriage, is it of faith? Is it faith that encouraged you to tell lie? Is it faith that asked you to sleep with that man before marriage? In all the things you are doing today, were are the acts of faith in it?

As you have read this post today, consider your position and the things you doing if it is in agreement with Satan, or against GOD. My prayer is that from today, you will never cooperate again with Satan to commit against GOD in JESUS name. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Dear Friend, You Only Have Today To Repent From Your Sins

DEAR FRIEND, YOU ONLY HAVE TODAY TO REPENT FROM YOUR SINS

Hebrews 4:7 “Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”

Dear friend, if you have not yet given your life to JESUS CHRIST for the salvation of your soul and deliverance from the everlasting torments of hell fire Mark 9:43-44, today is the only day you have to do so. This is because every living human being has today as the only guaranteed day in his entire life. Yesterday is gone and you can never go back there to correct the mistakes made thereby. Tomorrow is a promissory note because you have no power to walk into tomorrow with your own strength or idea, hence no one that knows the colour of tomorrow.

Please make haste right now while the sun shine (when you still have breath in your nostrils) because nobody can ever carryout any work when the sun sets (when you are dead), and you may never be privileged for a second chance. Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”

Therefore, irrespective of your current beliefs and religious activities, if you want to end up in the one and only heaven where the true GOD dwells, you MUST accept JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and personal saviour. You must make JESUS the LORD of your life because He alone is “the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6 that leads there. No argument, no two ways about it.

JESUS alone can guarantee you eternal life of abundance John 10:10, but the devil, who is a thief and a liar and in order to ensure that your soul is destroyed in hell fire with him Matthew 25:41 will tell you that all religion on the face of the earth leads to GOD in heaven. Friend, this is a black and wicked lie from the pit of hell. The Bible says there is no “salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” Acts 4:12. So, no other means to get to heaven outside of JESUS CHRIST.

Come unto JESUS CHRIST now and you “shall find rest unto your soul” Matthew 11:29.
GOD bless you.

Be A Responsible Data User, Avoid Cheats And Tweaks

BE A RESPONSIBLE DATA USER, AVOID CHEATS AND TWEAKS

Often times due to the insatiable desire of human beings, we usually look out for avenues to satisfy our appetite or meet our demands desperately even if it means going into dubious and shady adventures provided our needs are met. We equally don’t care whether we infringe, trample, tampered or stepped on other peoples’ idea and copywrited materials to achieving our desperate desires, we often see those illegal ventures and avenues as loopholes to pay back on those who in one way or the other we consider ripping us off unjustly, without minding the stress these people, institutions, enterprises and firms underwent before coming out bright in the provision of their services.

Now due to the lack of responsible attitudes of most of our youths today particularly as it relates to internet subscription and data usage in Nigeria, coupled with the high cost to maintaining data enabled devices especially devices powered by Google’s Android operating system, Apple’s iOS, Windows OS and the new BB10 OS, including USB Modems and other data machines and devices, our youths have now resorted to either tweaking the imei of their devices, or create cheats and work on loopholes as may be discovered on the various telecoms platform to use a service that was not designed for their devices. Irrespective on which angle we may want to argue this point, it is a criminal act and I call on everyone involved in such criminality to please stop doing it right away. You may never be caught in the eyes of the law, but should your conscience be alive as a human being, you quite know that what you are doing is wrong and obviously it is a crime.

In Nigeria today, we all usually screamed to the rooftops shouting ‘government is corrupt’ ‘government is corrupt’, whereas we as an individual are more corrupt than the government officials we are screaming at. To control, stop and tame corruption and corrupt practices in Nigeria, every one of us must see ourselves as stake holders in the fight and struggle to eliminate corruption in our midst. We must start to be involved in responsible ventures worthy of emulation so that we don’t continue in sowing bad seeds in our young ones and expect to achieve a corruption-free Nigeria in the near future.

The various internet and data service providers in Nigeria are offering their services in commensurate measures as set by the regulatory agency (NCC), and coupled with the prevailing circumstances, unfriendly and harsh business environment in Nigeria, these operators one way or the offer their services rather on the high side, putting into consideration what it takes to provide such a service to an individual or entity. Although I am not supporting the high tariff offered Nigerians on the internet platforms, but I am sure their hands are tied in this regard.

For example, a competent source confides in me sometimes ago that the regulatory agency NCC, threatened to sanction Glo Mobile Nigeria, for offering a 350MB data volume at N1,000 to their HSI data subscribers should they fail to review it downward. And true to the information as was passed to me, Glo Mobile today has reviewed that data subscription plan, as they now offer 300MB data volume for N1,000 as against the initial 350MB that was available earlier. NCC, rather than our various data service providers are to be held responsible for the high cost of internet services in Nigeria. Our aggression should be directed at them and not at our service providers because they work under regulations set by the NCC.

From the foregoing therefore, instead of you buying a device which is data hungry,expensive to maintain and amounting to heavy data drainage on use, which invariably may cause you to be tempted by venturing into irresponsible acts and breaking normal operating system to use illegally to achieving your aims and desire, why not go for OS devices that have been designed and customised for cheap data consumption and services in meeting your crave for unending high data demands? Here, the older Blackberry OS comes to play. You are involved in tweaking your imei in order to use the normal Blackberry internet services on your Android OS. Why not rather buy any Blackberry OS lower than BB10 and use the cheaper subscription meant for such services? To be responsible means to use platforms as it is meant to be used.

Moreover, there are cheaper Android, iOS, Windows and other services data subscription available today on the various mobile networks in Nigeria, all thanks to SME data subscription offered by third parties who usually buy data in bulk from the various service providers, and yours truly is one of them selling a legal third party data subscriptions to Nigerians. You can ring me on 08144845524 for your subscription 24/7. I will therefore encourage you to start patronizing these third party data resellers which is a laudable venture, than engaging in tweaks, cheats and tricks in using a legal service illegally. Youths of today, stop being irresponsible, and casts off the acts of irresponsibility from you.

Remember, whatever thing you do to cheat on others, it has eternal consequences whether you believe it or not. So stop! Be responsible today!

GOD bless you all.

The Difference Between Being In Christ and Being Christ's

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING IN CHRIST AND BEING CHRIST’S

 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
Galatians 5:24 “And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”

To be in CHRIST means to come to CHRIST from your sinful life unto the newness of life that is in CHRIST JESUS Romans 6:4. It means recognising and forsaking your sinful lifestyle and embracing CHRIST as you surrender unto Him your life and affairs Luke 18:13. It means that whereas you were a sinner, now you have just repented of your sins by accepting the LORDSHIP of CHRIST over you where you no lived a life of grace Romans 6:14. This is the beginning of Christianity but not the end as the journey to eternity with GOD has just begun.
But to be CHRIST’S means to be completely sold out to GOD in everything after embracing CHRIST as you came into the family of GOD Romans 14:7. It means to be made perfect in CHRIST Colossians 1:28. It means a total commitment and yieldedness to GOD in every area of your life and total dependence on GOD for your daily living Matthew 6:25. It means accepting the will of GOD against your own will whether it is convenient or not convenient Romans 8:35-39. It means a life of purity that presents the personality of CHRIST in wheresoever he is found Ephesians 3:17-19. It means a representation of JESUS in the world at large 1 Peter 2:9. This is the centre point of true Christianity and not the mere proclamation of religiousness as seen in most Christian circle today.

The Christian faith is centred on CHRIST and as such, it is expected for the professing Christians to possess the character traits of JESUS CHRIST who is the head of the church 2 Corinthians 10:7. To be called a Christian is not to belong to a denominational church or coming from a Christian background, or even fathered by a Christian family. To be called a Christian is for your life as an individual to be buried in CHRIST in every ramification, whereas you are the one living and walking around but CHRIST is the one seeing in you. Hence Apostle Paul declared “the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” Galatians 2:20.

CHRIST as the centre point of the Christian faith will cause the true believers in Him to be completely submerged into His personality that wherever you are spotted or seen around the world, the people around you will never see you but CHRIST Colossians 1:27. When the Apostles were first called Christians in Antioch, it wasn’t because they knew that these people were with JESUS, but they saw a replica of JESUS in these followers and then concluded that they are Christians (CHRIST –like), after examining them for a whole year Acts 11:26. This is the difference between the early Christians and today’s believers in CHRIST. Whereas the early Christians were distinct from the rest of the world in every sphere, today’s Christians however are in direct competition with the world system on how to win the world for themselves, even though they know that though they are in the world, but not of the world. John 17:16 “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”

To get the stage set for the subject matter, we must first examine the erroneous belief in the Christendom that everyone in the church is a Christian. This is misleading and a misrepresentation of true Christianity. Until you begin to address people by who they are in the real sense of it just like JESUS did regarding Judas Iscariot John 6:70, and Peter when the devil took possession of him Matthew 16:23, you may mistake a known thief and robber as a saint just because he or she is a member of a local church assembly. Again, there is no two ways about the Christian identity. Once you are a child of GOD and a true Christian, saved, sanctified and washed in His blood, the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD will bear you the inner witness Romans 8:16, but this witness must conform to the word of GOD as it relates to the result of your output which must be a reflection to the innermost conviction in the inside of you, otherwise you will be deceiving yourself by claiming what you are not James 1:22. Hence the Bible says “GOD know those that are His” 2 Timothy 2:19.

In today’s Christianity, one of the characteristics that prove people to be in CHRIST and never CHRIST’S is their reaction when they are being cautioned or warned against ungodly behaviour, character, approach, lifestyles, choices, attitudes and appearance using the word of GOD 2 Corinthians 5:11. Have you ever come across people that say you are judging them, preaching law and so on and so forth when you are ministering to them? These are people that are quick to mention that ‘I am a Christian’ even when such question hasn’t been asked. In their attempt to point their Christian faith to others, it often left them been seeing as typical hypocrite as a result of the fact that no sign of CHRIST-like attitudes is found in them. Evangelism by character is the greatest instrument of winning souls for the kingdom of GOD Acts 4:13, but in a situation where the life of the supposed Christian is even worse than those outside the corridor of Christianity, how true is such a claim that you are a Christian? The Bible says “A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid” Matthew 5:14.

Another characteristic of the Christians in CHRIST but who are not CHRIST’S is their struggle with the world. Any supposed Christian whose flesh is still the master is just in CHRIST, but not CHRIST’S. The inseparableness of the world affairs from the Christian fellow is the reason behind the partial or complete disobedience to the things of GOD Jeremiah 6:16-17. The love of the world and the attachment to the things of the world will never allow such a Christian to fully crucify their flesh with the affections thereof, hence they made themselves GOD’S own enemy right there in the church James 4:4. Such a Christian should however know that “if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die” Romans 8:13.

And yet another characteristic but the most devastating of being in CHRIST but not CHRIST’S is wearing the toga of religiosity without the commensurate power it provide 2 Timothy 3:5. This is responsible for the many claims of most Christian religious practitioners today who as a result of their religious engagement but in actual sense are deliberately disobeying the word of GOD often said they are the children of GOD. In this perspective, you will discover that people that are moved and led of the flesh, live for the flesh and satisfy the yearnings of the flesh and at the same time claiming the sonship of GOD, are in the majority in the church today. One of the things that endeared CHRIST to the Father was that He always does the things that pleased the Father John 8:29. So when a man lives in pleasures pleasing himself and satisfying himself with every desire of his heart, instead of living to please GOD, such a person is in Christ but certainly not CHRIST’S.

To be in CHRIST therefore is the entry level into true Christian life, as you have just turned a new leaf from your sinful nature into GOD’S nature, by accepting JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and personal saviour. But you definitely need to proceed from that entry level into the graduate class where CHRIST is now seen in you; hence you are now CHRIST’S. Brethren, until you come to the level that you are no longer yourself, you will surely be in Christ but will never be CHRIST’S neither can you hear His voice because you are preoccupied by the flesh. JESUS said “But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” John 10:26-27.

Now when you see people shouting ‘I am born again’ ‘born again’ and yet their entire being speaks otherwise, you will see people in CHRIST but never CHRIST’S. if you are just in CHRIST by becoming a new creature but you never allow the SPIRIT of CHRIST to possess you in totality which bring the true nature of CHRIST to bear, friend, you are none of His despite your claims. Romans 8:9 “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”

In conclusion, it is rather very unfortunate that in the Christendom today, over 98% of today’s Christians and worshippers are in CHRIST, whereas less than 2% are actually CHRIST’S. The danger it portends here is the fact that while both those in CHRIST and those that are CHRIST’S are together in the same church and fellowship, only those that are CHRIST’S are heaven-bound in this regard while all others cannot be sure of heaven being their eternal possession and destination. This is because the time of filtration is coming where the tares and the goats will be separated from the wheat and from the sheep Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43; 25:31-46. The most devastating effect of being in CHRIST without being CHRIST’S is the voice of rejection from the Master at the door, whereas you are “saying, Lord, Lord, open to us”, the Master will instead declared from inside saying “Verily I say unto you, I know you not.” Matthew 25:11-12. May this never be your portion today in JESUS name. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters in CHRIST JESUS, this race that is set before us required diligent effort to run it with grace and win the crown, and never to run it in vain Philippians 2:16. Just the Master said “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:16-17.

Are you ready to come to JESUS CHRIST now? Are you ready to be CHRIST-like in every area of your life and not just to be seen as a Christian? Do you want to be truly saved and acceptable by GOD? The stretch out arms of JESUS is still very much wide open to receive you. Make the most out of it now before the door is shut against you in eternity. Why not cry aloud unto GOD now telling Him you don’t just want to be in CHRIST, but you want to be CHRIST’S. Ask Him to wash you through and through, and it shall be well with you.

God bless you.
Shalom!

Hebrews 12:1-end
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. 18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) 22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

The Dangerous Choice Of The Unwise Man

THE DANGEROUS CHOICE OF THE UNWISE MAN

Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”

The ALMIGHTY GOD set two choice (life and death) ahead of everyone of us, and He left us to make our own choices but with His plea and admonition that we should choose LIFE so that we could live. GOD was not actually talking about living without dying a physical death, or dying a physical death. He was talking about eternal life in heaven and eternal death in hell fire. So let’s get this understood.

However, despite His pleas for us to choose life in order to avoid the damnation of hell fire, a lot of people today choose to rather die (make hell fire) than live (make heaven). Hence you see men and women involving in one form of wickedness and the other today without any remorse or being sorry for their evil and wickedness. Satan has succeeded in hardening their hearts. Acts 28:27 “For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”

Brethren, no matter how beautiful a coffin (casket) may look and no matter how costly the price may worth, no sane man will ever accept it for a gift. Matthew 7:9 “Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?”




Isn’t it rather very unfortunate that man today chooses the stinking, horrible, painful, everlasting punishment and torments filled hell fire against the awesome and splendiferous heaven, where peace and everlasting joy reigns? Matthew 25:46 “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”


Dear friend, there is no standing in-between heaven and hell. You are either a candidate of heaven as confirmed by your obedience to the complete teachings of the Bible, or you are a candidate of hell fire as confirmed by your complete disobedience to the teachings of the Bible. Revelation 22:18 “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”


Likewise, there’s no in-between being a true Christian and nominal Christian. You are either a saint or you are a sinner period. John 3:7 “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”


If your choice is to make heaven at last, then you must adhere to this biblical injunction that says “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12.


Shalom!

Christian Men, Stop Raping Your Wives In The Name Of Sexual Intercourse

CHRISTIAN MEN, STOP RAPING YOUR WIVES IN THE NAME OF SEXUAL INTERCOURSE

ALMIGHTY FATHER, give your children the spirit of understanding to understand what you will tell them here in JESUS name. Amen.

PREAMBLES
In order to fully understand what you are about to read, let’s consider the dictionary meaning of rape.
In the verb definition, rape means “Force (someone) to have sex against their will.”
In the noun definition, rape means “The crime of forcing a woman to submit to sexual intercourse against her will.”
Simply put: Any sexual intercourse against someone’s will is RAPE, whether in a legal marriage or by known rapist and wicked people out there. So beware if you are a rapist unknowingly!


Colossians 3:1 “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, INORDINATE AFFECTION (beyond normal limits), evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.”

Men and brethren, it is true that sex is one of the responsibility in a marriage which brings to reality the proclamation of GOD to His creation when He declared “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth” Genesis 1:28. There can never be any fruitfulness, multiplication and replenishment in the absence of sex in a marriage and therefore, sexual intercourse is provided by GOD for this to come to pass. Even in the animal kingdom, GOD equally embedded sex (mating) in their gene hence He declared “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth” Genesis 1:22. This was further reaffirmed when the old wicked world of Noah’s time was to be destroyed for their wickedness. Genesis 6:19 “And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.” The essence of male and female as specified by GOD to Noah was for procreation - sexual activity of conceiving and bearing offspring, just as He GOD made them two by two after their kinds in the creation, including Adam and Eve Genesis 1:27.

Having thus said, it is pertinent to note that SEX IS THE PRESERVE OF LEGALLY MARRIED COUPLES ONLY. Legal means whether such a marriage was consummated traditionally, in the church, mosque or court. Therefore, whether you are a Christian or pagan, whenever you indulge in sexual intercourse when you are not married, you are violating the ordinances of GOD 1 Corinthians 6:13 “NOW THE BODY IS NOT FOR FORNICATION” and you will be held guilty for such sin and wickedness irrespective of the belief you held and uphold. “If (ANY MAN) defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy” 1 Corinthians 3:17. Brethren, any man means any man, whether a supposed Christian or a pagan. Fornication and or adultery is the language used to describe people that involves themselves in sexual intercourse when they are not married or when they involved themselves in extra sexual intercourse outside their matrimony if they are legally married. Therefore, if you are involved in any sexual activities as an unmarried person, please stop, repent, surrender your life to JESUS and plead unto GOD for mercy because the consequences of your actions is damnation. Romans 6:23 “FOR THE WAGES OF SIN (as committed by ANY ONE whether supposed Christians and non-Christians alike) IS DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Ezekiel 18:4 “Behold, ALL SOULS (supposed Christians and non-Christians alike) are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: THE SOUL (whether a Christian or a pagan) THAT SINNETH, IT SHALL DIE.”

 To further affirm that sex is the preserve of married couples only, the Bible has this to say. “MARRIAGE IS HONOURABLE IN ALL (when purity is the order), AND THE BED UNDEFILED (without any premarital sex with your husband/wife to be or any other person for that matter; or post marital sex out of your marriage union): BUT WHOREMONGERS (a prostitute's customer or a pimp who procures whores) AND ADULTERERS (people who commits adultery or fornication) GOD WILL JUDGE.” Hebrews 13:4. Please, you sex worker called prostitute, and you unmarried boys/girls in boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, and of course you married couples having extra sexual affairs outside your homes, stop it now and repent from it immediately. You people are playing with unquenchable fire. Enough said already regarding people involving in sexual activities illegally! Mark 9:43 “And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:  44 WHERE THEIR WORM DIETH NOT, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 WHERE THEIR WORM DIETH NOT, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48 WHERE THEIR WORM DIETH NOT, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. 49 For EVERY ONE (Christians and non-Christians alike) shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.”

Therefore, if you are a legally married couple, please stop raping your spouse. Mutual agreement and understanding is required in sexual intercourse. To the Christian married couple, you should understand that sex is NOT the bedrock of the family tie but CHRIST Ephesians 5:23. You shouldn’t see sex in marriage as the yardstick to measure love or submission. “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God” is the admonition of the Bible to us Ephesians 5:21. If you are a married couple that has the fear of GOD in your home, you will not involve yourselves in raping each other in the name of sex. There is no time frame spelt out in the scriptures for sexual intercourse in marriage, but there are times the Bible says sex should be avoided if possible.
A. During menstrual period of the woman.
Although the Bible does not rule out sexual intercourse within this period completely, but looking at the requirement of the law for cleansing (remember we are now under grace), I think it is an idea thing for any reasonable man to wait for his wife to finish her menstrual period before resuming sexual activities. This is my counsel. Leviticus 15: 19 “And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. 20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. 21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. 24 AND IF ANY MAN LIE (have sex) WITH HER AT ALL, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.” By reason of grace, our wives today cook for us, we touch each other, use things together and sleep on the same bed during their menstrual period. Thank GOD for GRACE. Hallelujah!
B. During fasting and prayer.
During a short period of fasting and prayer as agreed by the couples and not as it may be announced by the church authority, it is recommended biblically to abstain from any sexual intercourse. 1 Corinthians 7:5 “Defraud ye not one the other, EXCEPT IT BE WITH CONSENT FOR A TIME, THAT YE MAY GIVE YOURSELVES TO FASTING AND PRAYER; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.” A maximum of three days of dry fasting and prayers should be idea here during which no sex should be involved. However, during lengthen period of fasting and prayer with daily breakage as may be organised by your church authority, please don’t deny yourselves sex after breaking of the fast. This is my counsel.

AVOIDING RAPE IN MARRIAGE
Although men are usually at fault in this angle of raping their wives, but often times, it is the women that do create the room for such things to happen in their marriage. Sexual intercourse require mutual trust and understanding between the two couples, but when the woman starts making unnecessary excuses whenever her husband advanced towards her for sex, an impatient man may be forced at this point to force the wife into sexual submission against her will. Some women show over spirituality in handling their sexual affairs and at times, their husbands are often left in the cold all alone in the house with the excuses of having 7 days ‘night vigil’ in their church. Woman, nobody stops you from undergoing night vigil in your church, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of your marriage at all, and you will surely have nothing to justify this act.
Therefore, man, if your attempts to have sex with your wife failed as a result of her persistent complain of tiredness and other funny excuses, threaten her that you are reporting her to her pastor, and because most women honour their pastors above their husbands today (this is very unfortunate), she will fall down on her knees begging you because she wouldn’t want her sex life to talked about elsewhere. She will naturally come down from the high elevation she had placed herself and begin to reason with you mutually. Even if she is not the type that likes sex as such, it shouldn’t be the barrier that will propel rape to happen to her in her matrimony by her own husband. Take heed and learn. However, you man shouldn’t descend on your wife violently if she objected to your sexual advances, as this will amount to raping her. Listen to her, and talk it out with her with love and before you know it, she will be the one inviting you herself. The Christian home is a practical home because love is practical.

MY COUNSEL TO THE MAN
Man, it is not only when you force your wife to have sex with her that you rape her, most of you are also into sexual perversion in your homes. You force your wife into ungodly sexual positions; force her into performing ‘dirty practices’ to appease your sexual lust even in your homes. This is a great wickedness in the sight of GOD. Man, never you copy the acts of the heathen in your sexual affairs with your wife. Remember, you are not the owner of your body, but GOD is 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, and make sure you use your body to the glory of GOD even during sexual intercourse with your wife. Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

MY COUNSEL TO THE WOMAN
Woman, stop dictating to your husband on when he should have sex with you. Even if you are not in the mood when he approaches, calmly and warmly embrace him and discuss any matter that may be responsible for your action at that time, reason it together and I bet you, you will win him very shortly to start seeing things with you. Don’t lie to your husband because you don’t want sex at that material time, hoping you know the consequences of lying. Hence the Bible says “LIE NOT ONE TO ANOTHER, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds” Colossians 3:9.

In conclusion, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it” Ephesians 5:25. Husband, will you rape the wife you love? How do you see and react to rape cases flying around our world today? Do you want GOD to see you as a rapist? How much protection have you given this wife of your youth against rape even by yourself? The LORD is watching you.
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord” Colossians 3:18. Woman, how submissive are you to your husband? Are you the one initiating your raping by your own husband? Your unending excuses and tiredness you always present to your husband, are they fit for the LORD? The respect and obedience you often accord your pastor, do you have such for your husband at home? The LORD is watching you.

1 Thessalonians 4:1 “Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 3 FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD, EVEN YOUR SANCTIFICATION, THAT YE SHOULD ABSTAIN FROM FORNICATION: 4 THAT EVERY ONE OF YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO POSSESS HIS VESSEL IN SANCTIFICATION AND HONOUR; 5 NOT IN THE LUST OF CONCUPISCENCE, EVEN AS THE GENTILES WHICH KNOW NOT GOD: 6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 14: 40 “Let all things be done decently and in order.”


Shalom!

The Church A Beer Parlour?

THE CHURCH A BEER PARLOUR?

Isaiah 56:7 “Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.”

The church was built to be a holy mountain, where sacrifices of offerings are acceptable to GOD because it is hallowed Numbers 18:29, and where prayers are made because it is offered from a pure heart and acceptable to GOD 1 Kings 9:3. This was the state of the church from the foundation and it remains the same till this moment. A church that has no spot or wrinkle is the individual that JESUS is preparing for His kingdom. Are you part of that kingdom? Holiness and unblemishness is the requirement for getting there. Hebrews 12:14 “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord”; Ephesians 5:26 “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

However, in other to please people and satisfy their flesh with pleasure, the handlers of the church which was once a place of prayer have now turned it into dens of thieves and robbers. Matthew 21:13 “And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Is it of any surprised to you today that pastors now collects tithes, offerings and donations from known thieves? Since the belly of these pastors today is their god Philippians 3:19, they now allow every form of unclean thing into the holy sanctuary of GOD and defile it therewith Deuteronomy 23:18. Ever wondered why there are so much churches today and yet, so much evil in the land? Think of a situation whereby GOD, the owner of the church have been expelled and driven out from His own church by our so called pastors today and invited Satan to take ownership of the church. What a pity. Jeremiah 44:16 “As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.”

Furthermore, the churches today have graduated from dens harbouring thieves and robbers to a beer parlour. Gossiping is now the centre point of today’s church just as it is seen in beer parlours and drinking joints, where irresponsible people cracks all forms of jokes to amuse themselves and use all manner of foul words and languages against one another. Psalms 101:5 “Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.” Hence the influence of alcohol which is a mocker is their lot today. Proverbs 20:1 “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

When a church becomes a beer parlour, all that will be happening there is just a gathering of mockers, tale bearers and comedians 2 Thessalonians 2:9. The HOLY SPIRIT abhors such a church and their fellowship and worship is to Satan 1 Timothy 5:15. They are people moved by the flesh and operate solely to please the flesh Roman 8:8, as they always stand up in slandering against anybody that rises up to challenge their drunkenness, and rebuke their lukewarmness to the things of GOD which are truth, holiness and righteousness. Galatians 5:15 “But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.”

A beer parlour church does not preach sin, hell fire, rapture, complete holiness, purity, yieldedness, sanctification and other sermons that can gain heaven, many of their members would go if the true gospel is preached to them. John 6:66 “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Instead, they preach faith alone; grace alone; eternal security and heart only as the things that matters to GOD for making heaven. Hmmm! If you are in such a church, you will never hear the gospel in its raw state, but always in a diluted form so that it can accommodate every kind of worshippers without offending their fleshy appetites, pleasures, lusts, passions and lifestyles. Galatians 5:16 “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” But these beer parlour churches will rather walk in the flesh than in the SPIRIT. “Come out from among them, be separated from them and touch not the unclean thing” 2 Corinthians 6:17 is the warning of the ALMIGHTY GOD the owner of the church to you reading this message right now.

Remember, only those that does the will of GOD in totality are those that JESUS knows Matthew 7:21-23, just as JESUS was accepted of the FATHER and never left alone as He only do those things that pleases Him during His earthly ministry. John 8:29 “And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.”

Do you want to be accepted of GOD? You must come out from that beer parlour called church and worship GOD in a church that is led by the HOLY SPIRIT. John 4:22 “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”


GOD bless you all.



You Must Truly Be Insane To Believe This Wicked Lie Of The Devil

YOU MUST TRULY BE INSANE TO BELIEVE THIS WICKED LIE OF THE DEVIL

Exodus 20:13 “Thou shalt not kill.”
Revelation 13:10 “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”

In the Islamic terrorism against perceived enemies of Islam by religious extremists and terrorists groups around the world, they claimed that a jihad according to the teachings of Koran is a ‘holy’ war, and therefore whoever engaged in a jihad (killing of other people in the name of Allah) will be handsomely rewarded in a paradise. Going with this understanding, blood thirsty hoodlums and religious fanatics usually hides under Islam to perpetrate their heinous crime against their fellow human beings. Friend, there is nothing ‘holy’ in any war, no matter the circumstances.

Meanwhile the HOLY BIBLE already stated that those that kill you will think they are doing GOD a service, and this squarely explains the position of these Islamic terrorists in their massacre against the people around the world in the name of Allah. John 16:2 “THEY SHALL PUT YOU OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUES: YEA, THE TIME COMETH, THAT WHOSOEVER KILLETH YOU WILL THINK THAT HE DOETH GOD SERVICE.” Therefore when you hear of the bizarre activities of Boko Haram insurgents, ISIS, Al-shabaab, and all Islamic terrorists’ sects around the world, it shouldn’t be any surprised to you if you are a true Christian and follower of JESUS CHRIST. Only in JESUS CHRIST there is peace, in the world, it is trouble John 16:33.

Islam, according to the Muslims is a ‘religion of peace’. This is true as every Muslim I have encountered personally are peaceful people. This is not to say that there are no wicked and heartless ones among them though, just like one Judas (a devil) among the twelve in the Christendom John 6:70. Therefore, the peaceful representation of Islam have been hijacked and trampled upon by blood thirsty terrorists, who, with or without any provocation usually hack to death perceived enemies of Islam whom they often termed ‘infidel’, and most especially when their prophet is insulted or painted in a manner annoying to them.

In the Christendom however, the LIVING GOD is the one that fight for His own true children, hence you will never see a true and GOD fearing born again Christian defending GOD in anyway because, he knows that you cannot defend GOD, no matter how bad the situation may appear; GOD is able to defend Himself. Uzza attempts to save the ark of GOD from falling caused his immediate death, and true Christians know this fact except you are a hypocrite. Exodus 14:14 “THE LORD SHALL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND YE SHALL HOLD YOUR PEACE.” 1 Chronicles 13:9 “AND WHEN THEY CAME UNTO THE THRESHINGFLOOR OF CHIDON, UZZA PUT FORTH HIS HAND TO HOLD THE ARK; FOR THE OXEN STUMBLED. 10 AND THE ANGER OF THE LORD WAS KINDLED AGAINST UZZA, AND HE SMOTE HIM, BECAUSE HE PUT HIS HAND TO THE ARK: AND THERE HE DIED BEFORE GOD. 11 AND DAVID WAS DISPLEASED, BECAUSE THE LORD HAD MADE A BREACH UPON UZZA: WHEREFORE THAT PLACE IS CALLED PEREZUZZA TO THIS DAY. 12 AND DAVID WAS AFRAID OF GOD THAT DAY, SAYING, HOW SHALL I BRING THE ARK OF GOD HOME TO ME?” So any supposed Christian that you will ever see defending the LIVING GOD in anything is not a Christian, but a religious fanatic just like the Islamic terrorists people, who fights and kills in the name of their Allah.

Meanwhile, if truly Allah whom these Islamic terrorists are happy killing for is a God, then he must be a DEAD god. This is because only a dead god that his followers and worshippers can fight for, since he has eye, but cannot see, he have ears but cannot hear, neither does he move with his legs nor used his hands Psalms 135:15-18. So, when they perceived that this dead god needed blood, these terrorists will spring to action in other to kill for him, all in the name of doing the will of that god. A typical example of this kind of god is Baal 1 Kings 18:21-29, whom though his prophets called from morning till evening, there was no single voice to pay attention. What a dilemma!

A living GOD would never allow anybody to fight for Him, no matter the provocation. Hence JESUS rebuked Peter in his overzealous attempt to defend Him from being arrested by the elders and rulers of Israel when he cut off Malchus right ear. JESUS cautioned Peter by declaring “PUT UP THY SWORD INTO THE SHEATH: THE CUP WHICH MY FATHER HATH GIVEN ME, SHALL I NOT DRINK IT?” John 18:11. As you can see from this statement of JESUS, a living GOD needed no one to defend Him no matter the provocation.

Now, if these Islamic terrorists think that they are fighting for the living GOD, let it be known to them that He GOD ALMIGHTY abhors killing, just as He gave Moses the law: “THOU SHALT NOT KILL.” Exodus 20:13. You must be insane to therefore believe the brainwashing of these Islamic terrorists that when you killed for a supposed living GOD, who commands that no one should kill, that you will be rewarded in a paradise by 72 virgin ladies. For your agreement to be used by them as a hired killer, suicide bomber, sippers, informants, suppliers of arms and ammunitions, militancy and butcher man, your troubles have just started. You will surely know no peace for your wickedness because the unfailing word of the LIVING GOD says “THERE IS NO PEACE, SAITH MY GOD, TO THE WICKED” Isaiah 57:21.

Dear Islamic terrorists and their brainwashed followers, if at all you want to make heaven, the only paradise of peace and everlasting joy, where the LIVING GOD that abhors killings sits majestically Isaiah 66:1, whose ONLY access door is JESUS CHRIST John 14:6; Acts 4:12, then you must repent of all your wickedness now Acts 3:19. JESUS sacrificed His life on the cross to redeem you with His own precious blood Hebrews 9:12. Accept Him today into your life as your LORD and personal saviour, and it shall be well with your soul Acts 16:27-34. The Bible says it shall be well with ONLY the righteous ones. Isaiah 3:10 “SAY YE TO THE RIGHTEOUS, THAT IT SHALL BE WELL WITH HIM: FOR THEY SHALL EAT THE FRUIT OF THEIR DOINGS.” Remember, there is nothing you can give in exchange if you lose your soul to hell fire Mark 8:37. So, the choice is YOURS.

Why not therefore take a bold step and come to JESUS CHRIST now? He will surely forgive you all your wickedness and sin, and your name will be written in His book of life in the only true heaven. All this will be a reality if ONLY you are will and obedient even as you have just read this post now. Isaiah 1:18 “COME NOW, AND LET US REASON TOGETHER, SAITH THE LORD: THOUGH YOUR SINS BE AS SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; THOUGH THEY BE RED LIKE CRIMSON, THEY SHALL BE AS WOOL. 19 IF YE BE WILLING AND OBEDIENT, YE SHALL EAT THE GOOD OF THE LAND: 20 BUT IF YE REFUSE AND REBEL, YE SHALL BE DEVOURED WITH THE SWORD: FOR THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HATH SPOKEN IT.”

GOD bless you.

Shalom!
