BE NOT CONFORMED TO THE WORLD

BE NOT CONFORMED TO THE WORLD

Romans 12:1-2
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.”
According to the WordWeb dictionary, to be conformed means “Be similar, be in line with”. Therefore when you as a Christian is very similar and be in line with the same pattern of the world system tells a lot of your supposed salvation which you do boasts about claiming that you are a Christian. It is a direct pointer that you are not yet separated from the world and that you are yoked with the world 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, because though we are in the world, but we are NOT OF THE WORLD John 17:14. In fact you even claimed that you are born again and HOLY SPIRIT filled especially as you can speak in tongues, perform miracles and even quote the Bible so eloquently. My dear friend, all these abilities you present and possess are for service and not for heaven. You can speak in tongues, preach the gospel and perform great signs and wonders and yet you can still land in hell fire at the end. This is because you thought that divine empowerment equals automatic ticket to heaven despite living and doing exactly opposite of what is required of you as a true Christian, a thing which contradicts the HOLY BIBLE.

Brethren, to claim that you are a Christian and yet no difference in your dressing from those you condemned to hell because they are not going to church like yourself is an insult on the entire body of CHRIST. The fact that you are in the church 24/7 does not make you a Christian. Christians are those that have the mind of CHRIST Philippians 2:5, who will obey the word of GOD at all times in upholding its beliefs and demonstrate a radical difference from those who does not believed in JESUS CHRIST at all.

As a true Christian and heaven conscious believer, your language, dressing, appearance, approach and mode of doing things MUST be different from the unbelievers. If you still find yourself doing and behaving the exact way the unbelievers does lives a huge question mark on your claimed salvation. The LORD JESUS said “Ye shall know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:16. So, what fruit are you displaying outside in spite of your claims that you are holy in your heart? In fact, your pastors has given you the license to sin and they pamper you with their self-illustrated gospel to keep you under their bondage and you are happy and jumping calling them daddies and mummies and yet they are the number one enemy of your soul. When a pastor tell you that how you dressed does not matter in your Christianity, then know that such a pastor and all his congregation are heading for the rock and surely, they will CRASH.

From the foregoing therefore, brethren, if you still wear trousers as a woman, you still decorate yourself with paintings and ornaments, you still sew and wear body exposing clothes, short and miniskirts, you still fix artificial nails, eyes lashes, weavon and attachments, you still tattoo your body, you still play gamble, you still smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, you still have boyfriend and girlfriend, you still tell lie, and still involves in all ungodliness and unrighteousness, you must repent of them today because this is CONFORMINTY  TO THE WORLD. According to the epistle of John in 1 John 2:15, he warned us and declared by the HOLY SPIRIT saying, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. IF ANY MAN LOVE THE WORLD, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM.” Apostle James went further to say “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? WHOSOEVER THEREFORE WILL BE A FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD.” James 4:4. Apostle Peter in his first epistle equally warned saying “As obedient children, NOT FASHIONING YOURSELVES ACCORDING TO THE FORMER LUSTS IN YOUR IGNORANCE: But as he which hath called you is holy, SO BE YE HOLY IN ALL MANNER OF CONVERSATION.” 1 Peter 1:14-15. And Apostle Paul also enjoined us in Colossians 1:21-22 saying “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight,”

I conclude with these sayings of JESUS in Luke 6:39-49. And as JESUS would always say “Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 13:9. Shalom!
39 “And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a fou ndation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”

Aderinola Olusola - The Face Of A Nigerian Female 419ner

Aderinola Olusola - The Face Of A Nigerian Female 419ner

I am only doing this to warn the Nigerian general public to beware of 419 people, who appear innocent in their desperate bid to defraud innocent and unsuspecting Nigerians.

She had contacted me via Facebook Messenger on Saturday, 23rd May, 2015, requesting for 2GB MTN data subscription plan from me.

I asked her if she has been buying data from me previously and she said yes. So, she wanted me to credit her before paying me through VTU transfer. I agreed because she happened to be my Facebook friend at the time, though I don't really know her neither can I tell if she had actually purchased data from previously.

So, after crediting her with 1GB for a number she provided, I asked her to pay me first before I will proceed with the second one, and she decided to back out.

She immediately blocked me on Facebook so that I can't trace her again but I was smart to have screenshot her Facebook account, which I then used to download her pictures here.

When I decided to start calling her number I credited with 1GB, she chose to ignor me by refusing to pick my calls.

Therefore, if you are a data reseller like myself, please be very careful as a result of fraudulent people out there who are on a mission to cause others pains.

I was able to gain access into her Facebook account through my wife's account because she has since blocked me.

Ola, your supposed sharpness is your undoing. Face anything you will ever receive as a result of this post.

I have no apology!


Here is her details as seen on her Facebook account.
Name: Aderinola Olusola
Work at: Unilever PLC
Studied at: Delta State University, Abraka
Live in: Lagos

HER PHONE CONTACTS

1. 08168000099 (The one I credited with 1GB on Saturday, 23rd May, 2015.)

ALL LIARS SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE OF FIRE Revelation 21:8

ALL LIARS SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE OF FIRE Revelation 21:8

With your two eyes wide open on your head, you opened your legs and allowed a man to have sexual intercourse with you.

It resulted in pregnancy, and you decided to terminate the pregnancy through abortion.

You visited a hospital where a doctor performed abortion on you, but it resulted in complications.

You then decided to visit another hospital probably to take care of the abortion complications, but you ended up LYING saying appendix was your problem.

The doctor asked you if you have had unprotected sex in the recent past, and you yelled at him claiming that you are a VIRGIN.

Alright, the doctor believed your judgement and decided to operate on you in order to get rid of the appendicitis, whereas it is the complication from your abortion from your visit to the initial doctor that you are suffering from.

However, while the doctor was operating on you, he discovered that your fallopian tube was ruptured due to the abortion you carried out earlier, which had resulted in you losing substantial amount of blood.

And finally, you died in the ward of the hospital, all because you lied about your sexual status and the real problem you were facing at the time.

Now that you are dead and knowing that you are facing the impartial judgment of GOD, what excuse are you going to present that will rescue you from hell fire? Is there any? None really!

Therefore you sinner out there joking about the eternity both in heaven and in hell fire, you just have to repent of your sins today and accept JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and personal saviour, so that you can escape the damnation in hell fire.

Failure to repent of your sins and amends your ways will surely caused your sin to find you out Numbers 32:23. And remember, it is appointed unto man to die once after which judgment follows Hebrews 9:27.

Above all, no sinner shall ever go unpublished. Proverbs 11:21 "Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered."

Repent today so that you will be saved!

Shalom!

I WAS ALMOST SWEPT OFF BY GOSSIPERS REGARDING SAMSONJUDE'S MARRIAGE

I WAS ALMOST SWEPT OFF BY GOSSIPERS REGARDING SAMSONJUDE'S MARRIAGE

Psalms 42:4 "When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: FOR I HAD GONE WITH THE MULTITUDE, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday."

Good afternoon Brother Samsonjude Emmanuel, evangelist at Overcomers Group of CHRIST.

Although I am your friend and follower on Facebook, but I was never privy to your marriage arrangements and ceremony and at such, I was somehow taken aback with the mindset that if anyone was going to organise a secret wedding, it shouldn't be you as a result of your disposition to the things of GOD. I know and I am sure you hates secrecy and double standard lifestyle as a true Christian believer in CHRIST JESUS.

However on a second thought, I concluded that you must have taken the decision to make your marriage outside of the public view especially avoiding any broadcast of it on the social media was to have a well controlled and coordinated marriage ceremony, because everyone would have wanted to be present. I therefore give GOD all the Glory for the successful conduct of your marriage ceremony and I wish you happy married life, and heaven at last in JESUS NAME. Amen. Proverbs 18:22 "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD."

Meanwhile due to the fact that many people were taken unawares as regards to your marriage to your wife, a lot of people were spreading rumours behind that you hurriedly married your wife to cover the sin of fornication, because according to the rumours that was being spread around even among holiness brethren was that you, Samsonjude Emmanuel, impregnated the girl who is your wife today and you quickly married her to hide that sin. LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, bear me witness if I am lying against anyone here. Judge me so terribly if I am making insinuation here. Let your wrath and anger burn terribly against me if I am lying by this post. So shall it be in JESUS NAME. Amen.

Therefore, I was somehow disturbed over your marriage affairs especially as it was hidden from the public domain as a minister of GOD. When I got divine understanding sometime ago regarding how people used marriage to hide the sin of fornication which usually results in pregnancy, I almost concluded to call your brother, Mark Emmanuel, to asked you to make a public confession if actually you married your wife due to the sin of fornication as it was rumoured. Well, I couldn't call him again, but this thing has always been in my mind as a result of the calibre of people that gossip with that rumour. My video "USING MARRIAGE TO HIDE THE SIN OF FORNICATION" which is on YouTube was born out of this very marriage issue of yours. Hebrews 13:4 "Marriage is honourable in all, AND THE BED UNDEFILED: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."

Please, find a place in your heart to forgive me and everyone that gossip about your marriage behind your face. Although I was not moved by what I heard, I was only concerned about your ministry as a true child of GOD. I am very sorry please should this offends you.

Amazingly, I was relived when I saw your post on Facebook regarding your marriage, where you posted some pictures including the traditional wedding. I am sure you did that to dispel the wicked rumours some holiness brethren were spreading about your marriage. I therefore believed that you did not only conducted your marriage legally, there was no covering of sin in the whole matter because you know the consequences of such things. Proverbs 28:13 "He that covereth his sins shall not Prosper (shall not make heaven): but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."

May the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY bless and preserve your marriage till the end in JESUS NAME. Amen. You shall not fall nor falter in JESUS NAME. Amen.

Shalom!

From Brother Lugard Ekhator.

THE FEAR OF PHYSICAL DEATH PUSHED YOU TO SURRENDER TO SIN?

THE FEAR OF PHYSICAL DEATH PUSHED YOU TO SURRENDER TO SIN?

Luke 12:1 “In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 AND I SAY UNTO YOU MY FRIENDS, BE NOT AFRAID OF THEM THAT KILL THE BODY, AND AFTER THAT HAVE NO MORE THAT THEY CAN DO.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”

Many supposed Christians today have abandoned their faith and yield wilfully to temptations because they were threatened with physical death by their oppressors, who ultimately takes advantage of their cowardice to trample upon their supposed faith and firm believe in GOD. This action of these sets of believers who do compromised their faith at the face of daunting circumstances only shows that they were CHRIST followers by mouth. Their supposed born again theory holds no water as their action to submit to sin at that material time proves them otherwise. It is often said in the world that ‘everybody wants to go to heaven, but none wants to die’. Even in this context, you can only go to heaven in the pre-rapture atmosphere by death, and therefore whether you choose to die now or you tried to escape death by cooperating with Satan to sin against GOD, YOU WILL SURELY STILL DIE THE DEATH YOU ARE SO AFRAID OF NOW. The LORD said “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” Revelation 3:10.

Whereas Our LORD and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, has warned us never to be afraid of the people that can only kill us physically who have no access to determine our eternal destinations, many actually never believed nor accept this teaching because they feel that they are immotal – non dying beings, and therefore why will they die and ends their enjoyment that this wicked world present? It is rather very unfortunate that men and especially the supposed Christians who boast of making heaven at their death will succumb to the lies of devil in yielding to his deceit and thereby disobey GOD unthinkably. What a pity! If you are so sure of your faith and you have the confidence of your salvation just like Apostle Paul declared in Philippians 1:21 “For to me to live is Christ, AND TO DIE IS GAIN”; why then are you so afraid of making gain which physical death especially dying for your faith in CHRIST promotes? As a result, Christians today fears and obey the devil can only kill their body (physical death) and can dishonour and disobey GOD that can both kill them physically and also cast their soul (spiritual death) to hell fire that never quenched Mark 9:44.

Men and brethren, choose to stand your ground in whatever critical circumstances you may find yourself due to your unwavering faith in CHRIST, and rather die than agrees with the devil to commit sin against GOD. On this note, if armed robbers invades your house and they threatened to kill you if you refused their advances to RAPE YOU in the presence of your husband and children, please call their bluff and refused them to sexually maltreats you as a result of the fear of physical death and let them truly kill you as they threatened. You see, if you refused to become a radical Christian in the face of physical death, then heaven can never rely on you to be used to rescuing the dying world because you are chicken hearted. Your faith must goes beyond mere proclamation in your mouth to real defence of your supposed Christian faith in the face of persecution or the threat of physical death. 1 Corinthians 9:15 “But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: FOR IT WERE BETTER FOR ME TO DIE, THAN THAT ANY MAN SHOULD MAKE MY GLORYING VOID.”

Sisters, when rapist threatened you with death if you fail to let them come between your legs as a Christian, tell them that they will be quickening your journey to heaven and as such, you are very much willing to die for your faith as a Christian than allow the devil to have the victory as a result of the threat to your life. Joseph chose the prison rather sexual affair to sin against GOD Genesis 39:9.

Brothers in the higher institutions, choose death rather than life when cultists threatened you for your refusal to join their demonic fraternity. JESUS CHRIST is the LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH Revelation 5:5, and lions are known for their boldness and not cowardice which the righteous are likened Proverbs 28:1. So, if you are truly the SON OF GOD, you must prove yourself in the face of critical challenges.

People of GOD, GOD forbids that you become in a prey in the hands of the Islamic terrorists around the world today such as Nigeria’s Boko Haram, ISIS, Al-Shabaab, Al-Qaeda and their likes, who will threaten to kill you should you fail to renounce your Christianity and your faith on Our LORD JESUS CHRIST. In fact, rejoice that you will become a martyr for JESUS and let Satan and his followers remain in hell despite their threat of death. You must choose never to be part of the fall away before the day of the LORD comes. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.” Rather choose to be among the remnant that will never bow their knees to Baal nor kissed his mouth. 1 Kings 19:18 “Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.”

Dear Christian brethren, when the time come for you to take your stand in GOD and declare to the devil that you are ready to die for JESUS than allow his agents to manipulate you into submitting to their evil and wicked desire, will GOD and heaven count on you? If others have chosen to join the multitudes and do evil Exodus 23:2, will you also join them? Remember, “narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” Matthew 7:14. Will you be among the FEW?

“Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.” Hebrews 12:4. Will you resist blood today? Will you strive against sin? The ball is in your court.

Shalom!

O THOU YOUTH, OF WHOM ARE YE EXAMPLE? OF BELIEVERS OR OF THE WORLD?

O THOU YOUTH, OF WHOM ARE YE EXAMPLE? OF BELIEVERS OR OF THE WORLD?

1 Timothy 4:12 "Let no man despise thy YOUTH; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

In Ecclesiastes 12:1, the Bible declared "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy YOUTH, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them", a remark to the youths that despite having life to the full as a youth, you must however remember that you are not the owner of your life. There is a GOD up there that borrowed you his breath and can take it at any time without information, hence we are cautioned to remember Him as He has the sole right to your life. Whereas we are admonished to remember Our Creator in the days of our youth, the youths of today have chosen to be used as an instrument by the devil to vex GOD by partaking in every unwholesome and abominable practices in the land. Youths are today in the forefront in homosexuality, lesbianism, cultism, political thuggery, armed robbery, prostitution, exam malpractices, forgery and falsification, impersonation, drug abuses, 419ning, kidnapping, raping, sexual promiscuity, terrorism, rebellion and all forms of social and moral vices we witness day in day out because they felt that they have the vigour and strength to do all these evils as youths.

And very unfortunately, the youths who claimed to be Christians today are worse off as compared to the youths of the world who are Satan's advocate. They are not different in their speech and utterances, and they behaved even more worse than the unbelievers out there. The crazy dress styles, hellish dancing styles and the unrestrained attitudes to sexual perversions are carried out by the youths of today.

So, you youth, you've heard that you should enjoy yourself when you are young according to the world order, but have you remembered your creator while you are enjoying yourself? Is what you are doing a well pleasing thing unto the LORD? Youth, choose to be like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who choose to rather die in the burning flames of fire as stirred up by king Nebuchadnezzar than to bow down and worship the graven image he has set up Daniel 3:16-18.

Youths of today, if you succumb to disobey GOD'S word as a result of the pressure mounted against you in the society, at the end you alone will suffer the consequences of your actions. Youths beware!

Shalom!

COMPROMISERS ON THE WORD OF GOD WILL HAVE THEIR SELF TO BLAME ON THE LAST DAY

COMPROMISERS ON THE WORD OF GOD WILL HAVE THEIR SELF TO BLAME ON THE LAST DAY

2 Corinthians 1:20 “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.”
James 5:12 “But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.”

According to the wordweb dictionary, compromise means:-
1. A middle way between two extremes
2. An accommodation in which both sides make concessions

Looking at the above definitions of compromise, you will discover that it has to do with making concessions or standing in-between two things. To be understood better, compromise simply means give and take. In the world system, it is often said that ‘if you cannot beat them, join them’, meaning you should blend with them and never prove to be different. This is a clear case of compromise as this will certainly rob you of your integrity and uprightness when you decide to dance to the tune of the music as played by the world. But in the Christian circle, we are warned never to involve in compromise declaring that a man that swear to his own hurt and turning not away is the man that will ascend the hill of GOD. “LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. HE THAT SWEARETH TO HIS OWN HURT, AND CHANGETH NOT. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.” Psalms 15:1-5.  In fact the Bible further warned us not to join the multitude to do evil. “Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment” Exodus 23:2. Following the multitude which means to compromise almost rock the salvation sheep of David until he retracted his steps. Psalms 42:4 “When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.” Choose to be separate and different from the world even if you are a one-man soldier and you will surely not lose your reward in heaven. 2 Corinthians 6:17 “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”

The Almighty GOD has set a standard before us to follow in order to win and gain heaven. This standard as strict and tough it appears can never be bend or soften to favour any particular individual or group of persons. The same word of GOD will be used to judge every human being on the surface of the whole earth John 12:48, which has no respect to race, religion, creed, ethnicity, status, position, rank, achievements, colour, country or continent. GOD is a respecter of no one neither does His word (the HOLY BIBLE) has respect of persons too. Acts 10:34 “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.”

Therefore, as countries and institutions have governing laws and policy put in place to checkmate violators and bring them to justice, the HOLY BIBLE is the supreme constitution for gaining heaven. If you therefore desire of making heaven in the rapture or at your death, you MUST as a matter of priority follows its lay down rules and order. You MUST obey the LORD whether it is convenient or not convenient.  Adding and subtracting from the original standard of the Bible is a compromise and this will certain take your place out of heaven or add to your eternal punishment you will face after your physical death on earth. 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.”

In Psalms 19:7, the Bible declared “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” The perfect LAW of GOD (the BIBLE) is capable of converting the soul if you yield to its requirements and regulations. Twisting the word of GOD to favour and satisfy your carnal lifestyles and appeal to your inordinate emotions is compromise. You must realise that you don’t live nor die to yourself Romans 14:7, which should ordinarily spark the fear of GOD in your life never to compromise on the word of GOD.

When Abraham was told by GOD to circumcise his foreskin as the token of the covenant between him and GOD, Abraham never argued with GOD by listing options for him. Even though it was the very first time that such a practice will be carried out since the creation of the world, Abraham though an old man by then yielded to the HARSH demands of GOD. He accepted the pains and agony of cutting the foreskin, a thing he would have objected if he was to use his carnal reasoning. And today, Abraham becomes the father of faith for simply foolishly obeying the dictates of GOD which were very contrary to his belief and initial practice as a human being. Today, men are singing ‘Abraham blessings are mine’ but they are never willing to be obedient to the commandments of GOD as Abraham did. Genesis 17:10 “This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.”

Therefore, I have come across a lot of things and Christians in confusion regarding some practices and belief. Why some used revelations and divine encounters to measure their obedience on the word of GOD, others simply write them off arguing that these things are burdens on the Christians today and never a requirement for making heaven. Well, whether revelation or no revelation, the foundation of GOD “standeth sure and GOD knows those that are His” 2 Timothy 2:19. Irrespective of your position to see word-to-word in the Bible condemning some practices in the body of CHRIST today, and of course you will never see it written in black and white, your conscience is with you that often tells you your wrong doings even as stacked wicked sinners without the knowledge of CHRIST at all. This therefore makes you to be inexcusable before GOD today despite the belief and practice you held Romans 2:1.

As men are arguing that you should show them from the Bible were some sort of things were condemned or approved before they will believe and adhere to it including sexual positions between married couples, I want to point out that despite the numerous scriptural references condemning some practices as seen today even the church, men have chosen to rather pleased themselves rather than GOD thereby wilfully disobeying the word of GOD 2 Timothy 3:1-5. This is often seen as Christians today are claiming allegiance to GRACE and rejecting other requirements by GOD for our salvation. In fact to some Christians, the Old Testament is no longer of importance today. Only the New Testament suffices for all. And yet the Bible says “ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Here the Bible lays emphasis on ‘ALL’ bringing the Old and the New Testaments together. Again the Bible declared “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” Matthew 5:18. This JESUS CHRIST was using to bring to our notice that as far the Bible is concerned, they remain the infallible word of GOD which abides forever, hence Psalms 119:89 declared “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.”

Compromisers on the word of GOD, you people do not really know the danger you are playing with. The Bible in Psalms 138:2 declared “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: FOR THOU HAST MAGNIFIED THY WORD ABOVE ALL THY NAME.” As fearful is the names of the LORD stands, yet He GOD magnified His WORD above all His name. No wonder GOD said in Isaiah 55:10-11 when He declared “For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOETH FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH: IT SHALL NOT RETURN UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT.” I do honestly know that because you lack the fear of GOD, which is why you are compromising on His word as if GOD have now changed or repented just like humans. However the Bible says “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19. So all the word of GOD are pure and holy because it was only HOLY MEN that were inspired by HOLY SPIRIT that put the word into writing 2 Peter 2:19-21. Man, are you not afraid of GOD? Why do you want to go hell fire as a result of your compromise on the word of GOD?

Now, as many as looking for word-to-word reference in the Bible before they will accept the true holiness of the word of GOD are compromisers, and compromisers have no eternal life abiding in them. So it is your choice. 1 Corinthians 5:6 “Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?”

SEXUAL POSITION IN MARRIAGE
A lot of people are confused today regarding sexual positions between married couples especially in the Christendom. While a lot of people argue that irrespective of the position you and your spouse decided to take during sexual intercourse that such things have no eternal consequences. Others simply argue that missionary style is the only approved sexual position between married couples, a fact that most people aligned to divine revelation. Well although there’s no stated sexual position in the Bible, but common sense should teach you that man lying on top of the woman during sexual intercourse is the most convenient and idea way for intimacy. You that claim that sex is for pleasure only shows your lack of the purpose of GOD for marriage. Marriage is not for pleasure and therefore sex is not for pleasure either. In 1 Corinthians 11:9, the Bible declared “Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.” This clearly shows the woman was created to be under the authority of the man and in so doing, whenever the man climbs on top of the woman for sexual intercourse, the woman is submitting under the authority of the man. If a woman therefore climbs the man, it means the woman is usurping the authority of the man over the man and this practice will not be accommodated by GOD.
Also in Ephesians 5:22 & 23, the Bible says “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.” The husband being the head of the wife means the husband ought to be on top of the wife because the head is top of the body. Therefore irrespective of the angle you want to look at it, all these styles that you people copied from pornographic films and materials and executes in your matrimony are sins and wickedness. The world is supposed to copy the true Christians in everything including sexual position during intercourse and not the other way round. If you are therefore involved in wicked styles during your sexual intercourse with your wife/husband in the name of pleasure, please stop it now. Dogs, goats, fowl and all other animals have not changed their sexual positions since creation, why should man that was created in the image of GOD do so? Genesis 1:27. Paul says “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME, BUT I WILL NOT BE BROUGHT UNDER THE POWER OF ANY.” 1 Corinthians 6:12. The choice is yours but as for me, I will always be on top of my wife during sexual intercourse and both of us are contented.

WOMEN WEARING TROUSERS
As most people argued that until they see word-to-word reference in the Bible that they will never accept the truth, this issue of women wearing trousers is one area they support wholeheartedly. Even though the word ‘trouser’ was never used in Deuteronomy 22:5, but with the practical design of the trouser and the position of the urinary organ embedded in humans by GOD, it is acceptably concluded that trousers was never meant for women but for men. And you that justifies its usage by women today simply because the word trouser was not used, you will have GOD to contend with on the judgment day because you think that you are now wiser than GOD. Beware! Deuteronomy 22:5 “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”

THE USE OF WEDDING RING
This erroneous practice have taken over the churches of today even as practitioners have no biblical backing whatsoever that accommodates this practice during wedlock. As you are looking for word-to-word reference in the Bible before you will accept the truth, what scriptural backing do you have for using rings to wed people in your church? Even our LORD JESUS CHRIST that was invited to a wedding feast in John 2:1-11, nothing of ‘ring’ was mentioned at all. No ‘ring’ or ‘wedding ring’ was also mentioned when the man in Matthew 22:1-13 organised a wedding for his son in the parable of JESUS CHRIST. So, where do you claim the origin of wedding rings from? From the Bible, or the world?

LESBIANISM AND HOMOSEXUALITY
Even as the Bible condemned these immoral and wicked practices, are men not doing it today? So, if men can rebel against the written word of GOD, is it the unwritten and unseen word they will obey? Romans 1:26 “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”

THE USE OF JEWELRIES (Earrings, bangles, bracelets, neck chains, nose rings, etc)
The Bible strongly condemned its uses because they are ‘strange gods’ on the users, but do people have regards to the word in this direction these days? Genesis 35:4 “And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.” Even when the furiusness of GOD was visiting the Israelites, He commanded them to ‘take off’ these jewelries from their body lest they will be consumed. Are people not fashioning themselves with it today even in the house of GOD? Exodus 33:5 “For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: THEREFORE NOW PUT OFF THY ORNAMENTS FROM THEE, that I may know what to do unto thee. 6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.”

PAINTING OF THE BODY (MAKE UP)
The Bible says “in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life” Jeremiah 4:30. Has this practice of Jezebel not taken over the church today even though the Bible condemned it?

STEALING
When the Bible says “Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.” Ephesians 4:28. Are there still people stealing today? But didn’t the Bible condemn it too? In fact, “Thou shalt NOT steal” says the commandment of GOD Exodus 20:15.

If you therefore claimed that most of the things some Christians are saying will take people to hell today will actually never take anyone to hell, then masturbation, smoking, hard drug pushing, 419ning, pickpocket, impersonation, forgery and other wicked practices today should never be condemned, in fact they should be encouraged since there’s no direct word-to-word reference in the Bible that condemned them.
Compromisers, YOU WILL SURELY HAVE YOURSELVES TO BLAME ON THE LAST DAY.


Shalom!

THE FOOLISHNESS IN THE PURSUIT OF WEALTH AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR SOUL

THE FOOLISHNESS IN THE PURSUIT OF WEALTH AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR SOUL

Matthew 19:16 "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 BUT WHEN THE YOUNG MAN HEARD THAT SAYING, HE WENT AWAY SORROWFUL: FOR HE HAD GREAT POSSESSIONS.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

Money, the Bible says "answereth all things" Ecclesiastes 10:19, and that it is "GOD that giveth power to get wealth" Deuteronomy 8:18. 3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, EVEN AS THY SOUL PROSPERETH." The prosperity of the soul which far outweighs the physical prosperity of the possession of wealth and living in affluence have been misunderstood and misinterpreted today in the body of CHRIST, as more emphasis and hammering on bountiful giving to secure a place among the wealthy in the society is the order of the day in today's church. In fact, Philippians 4:19 which reads "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" have become one of the most popular scriptures today because it carries the message of abundant prosperity by GOD when you give to the work of GOD, especially to pastors which they usually seats on to spin money out of their member's vault using various tricks and techniques.

They say 'money move the world around' which means you can certainly do nothing without money. As true as this term may sound, you must however remember that even if you succeeded in acquiring the whole world and become the richest man on the surface of the earth in the Guinness book of record, you must equally bear it in mind that "naked you came into this world and naked you will surely return" Job 1:21. Hence the Bible asked: "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26. Prosperity without the CROSS is a waste and such possessor will land in hell fire at his/her death despite giving to the poor around him, for salvation is not of works but by grace lest anyone should boast Ephesians 2:8-9. If you want to therefore secure a place of eternity in the kingdom of GOD, ensure that you have repented of your sins and have surrendered your life to JESUS CHRIST, and living a true holy and righteous life that pleases the LORD. Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."

When the rich young man was told by JESUS CHRIST to go and sell all that he had and come and follow Him for a better possession in heaven where there's no thieves, nor moth nor rust exist Matthew 6:20, he went away sorrowfully because of his stupendous wealth which he was not ready to give up for heaven. This is the state of many rich people today in the world, who are not ready to deny themselves of any worldly pleasure but they want to go to heaven. They will rather choose their wealth at the expense of their own souls. What a pity!

In Matthew 6:33, the Bible says "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Instead of men today going after the primary thing in life which is to seek and find the kingdom of GOD in righteousness, they are rather going after the secondary which is the acquisition of wealth and other things that they so desired, forgetting that once you've gained the kingdom of GOD in righteousness, all other things will come as additional and you will certainly lack nothing good in this life as long as you do always the things that pleases the LORD.

In today's world, men go into occultism, armed robbery, kidnapping, contract inflation, public embezzlement, prostitution, falsification of records and documents, political thuggery, ritual killings, bearing false witness, subverting justice, impersonation, betting, gambling, gaming, shady deals, hard drug pusher, suicide missions, and all forms of evil and wicked practices, all in the name of making money. Dear friend, this money you are killing yourself to make will never satisfy your appetite and cravings for wealth no matter how much you may have it. Why do you want to lose your soul to hell fire all because of money?

1 Timothy 6:9 "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.  6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." Do you want your soul to be drawn away from snare, destruction and perdition in hell fire? Then, stop the love of money and choose to be contented with what you have. You will surely save your soul in so doing.

With the level of interest being put up to the acquisition of wealth by men, if such amount of interest is dedicated to the pursuit of heaven by men today through holiness and righteousness, hell fire wouldn't have enlarged herself. "Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it." Isaiah 5:14.

Why not call on the LORD JESUS CHRIST right now to have mercy on your soul and forgive your sins in trading your soul for the acquisition of earthly wealth, and He will forgive your sins. Remember, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION." Romans 10:10.

GOD bless you all readers in JESUS NAME. AMEN.

Shalom!

THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IS SET TO SAVE MORE SOULS FROM THE DAMNATION IN HELL FIRE THROUGH BRINGING THE DEAD TO LIFE EXPERIENCES

THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IS SET TO SAVE MORE SOULS FROM THE DAMNATION IN HELL FIRE THROUGH BRINGING THE DEAD TO LIFE EXPERIENCES

Luke 16:19 "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."

In the business of saving the souls of the damned by reason of their allegiance to Satan and his works, the Almighty GOD can devised any means/method to achieving this feat including bringing people back from death to speak to the hardened hearts of men who are pleasuring themselves to the damnation in hell fire, with practical and biblical proof divine encounters. This you must understand that despite many people doubting the reality of such divine encounters especially when you consider Hebrews 9:27 which clearly states that "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment", this does not however rule out the almightiness of GOD to bring people from death to life to testify of the realities of heaven and hell fire to mortal men, as indeed, "For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE" Luke 1:37 as the angel Gabriel declared unto Mary the working possibilities of GOD to cause a woman to be pregnant without the sperm of a man.

Now as mere mortal men have been doubting and discrediting the reality and possibility of the dead to come back to life by the power of GOD which on the long run is limiting the unlimited power of GOD, the Bible then asked if any man has been GOD'S counsellor, let alone knowing the mind of GOD, after declaring how UNSEARCHABLE is the WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, JUDGMENT and WAYS of GOD. "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen." Romans 11:33-36. Man, GOD is still GOD and He does not need your inputs before taking any decision He so desired.

From the foregoing therefore, remember that the uttermost desire of GOD is that no human being on the surface of the earth should perish, but that they should be saved and have eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Hence GOD saved you and send you into the world to preach the Gospel to every creature Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8, and also placed you in the ministry of reconciliation to reconcile the world to Himself after reconciling you to Himself through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. 2 Corinthians 5:18 "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." Are you ready to be used by GOD to bring the sinners from the damnation in hell fire to the kingdom of GOD through the knowledge of JESUS CHRIST? Or you are very comfortable seeing millions of souls trooping to hell fire daily with their careless and godless lifestyles.

So, father Abraham never told the rich man in hell fire that it was IMPOSSIBLE for GOD to raise anyone from the dead to testify about the realities in the after death, but he simply pointed to the rich man that even though GOD will go the extra mile to bring the message of salvation to mankind by raising someone from the dead, those who have made up their minds never to believe will NEVER BELIEVE despite such a miracle. And today, how many people actually believed the testimony of the privileged few so far in our midst? Even the church has become their number one enemies right now. May GOD have mercy on us.
Luke 16:27 "Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."

Therefore, don't conclude that it is impossible for GOD to raise people from the dead to preach the Gospel of salvation to mankind today, because He is actually set to use this medium more often in this end time to rescue the few who will be willing to go with Him in the imminent rapture or at their death.

Don't be a stumbling block to any body's salvation, but rather be aligned with GOD to rescue men from the damnation in hell fire.

Shalom!

A Holiness Is Easily Identified But Very Difficult To Find As I Visited Divine Favour Christian Evangelical Ministries Inc., Benin City

A Holiness Is Easily Identified But Very Difficult To Find As I Visited Divine Favour Christian Evangelical Ministries Inc., Benin City

Ephesians 5:27 “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.”
Ephesians 1:4 “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.”
Colossians 1:21 “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.”
2 Corinthians 11:2 “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
Song of Solomon 4:7 “Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.”

As we await the soon return of the Master JESUS CHRIST from heaven to rapture His church, you should remember that the office or position you occupied in the local church does not qualify you “for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus CHRIST Titus 2:13. Your membership of a local church assembly nor the role(s) you are playing in such a gathering qualifies you for heaven either. GOD is a holy GOD and He is coming for a holy church (individual) without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. Therefore if you are dreaming of spending your eternity with JESUS in heaven, you must look beyond your church activities and maintain TOTAL LIFE OF TRUTH, HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS in all your doings, otherwise it is a fruitless service you are rendering though there may be evidence of the divine power of GOD in your ministry.

In Luke 12:47, the Bible says “And that servant (that supposed Christian), which knew his lord's will (who knows what the LORD demands for making heaven), and prepared not himself (become indifferent to the world), neither did according to his will (nor obeyed the word of GOD), shall be beaten with many stripes (shall receive greater punishment from demons in hell fire). 48 But he that knew not (that unbeliever and wicked sinner in the world today), and did commit things worthy of stripes (who are already condemned to hell fire as a result of their works), shall be beaten with few stripes (shall receive lesser punishment from demons in hell fire). For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” In the light of the above scriptures, many complacent Christians today who think that by reason of their being used of GOD have been qualified for heaven but still have stains in the garment of righteousness shall be disappointed when they will hear the voice of the Master telling them “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” Matthew 7:23. You can see that GOD is not moved with your awesome divine abilities, but He is moved with a soul that worships Him in spirit and in truth for He is looking out for such a worshipper John 4:23-24.

Therefore as I stepped into the hall of worship of Divine Favour Christian Evangelical Ministries Inc., Aduwawa, Benin City, Edo State, on Sunday, 12th April, 2015, which is pastored by Evangelist Margaret Amure, where I went to fellowship with the brethren, I saw a church environment conducive of the HOLY SPIRIT inhabitation. The modesty of the brethren especially those of the choristers caught my attention, which were dressed with long skirts covering to their heels. In fact, it was a remarkable departure of what obtained in our supposed holiness churches today, where members and particularly choristers in the altar usually dressed in miniskirts while sitting in their stands thereby tempting the men in the congregation with their exposed body parts especially their thighs which they deliberately do for seduction because their pastors are enjoying and filling their hearts with those horrible scenes. Wondered why there is no difference in the dressing of a supposed believer and a confirmed prostitute today?

Stepping into this church no doubt will cause you to discover a true holiness preaching and practising church. Apart from the three women who were new comers that was visibly different from their dressing compared to the other women in the church, everyone here maintains true holiness in their modest apparel. No wonder Evangelist Margaret Amure, who has been a worldly pastor for over 20 years before her divine and GOD saving grace encounter in 2012, and having experienced the horrors that awaits sinner Christians in hell fire at their death, does not pamper her remaining members with sweet coated messages. A look into the auditorium tells that many members abandoned her and left for other churches where their worldly pleasures and appetites are oiled, as she turned into a no nonsense and true holiness preacher after her encounter. Parked empty chairs in the back space of the auditorium leads credence to this assumption of mine. Look out for the video titled ‘Back From Heaven With A Message’ By Evangelist Margaret Amure and bless your soul with it.

In her message titled ‘My Wedding Garment’, Evangelist Mrs. Amure was raw in her sermon. In fact, she will sometimes asked the brethren ‘Do you want me to kneel down for you?’ as she ministered the word of GOD with all boldness and courage. It is my prayer that she will never run in vain in JESUS name. Amen.

This post is not to elevate nor promote her church, but a pointer to the fact that “many are indeed called, but only few are chosen” Matthew 22:14 of GOD and she is one of the chosen few gladdening the heart of GOD with her undiluted message of total and complete truth of the gospel. Her heaven and hell fire encounter have transformed her and her ministry into a prepared bride for the uncompromising BRIDEGROOM, our LORD JESUS CHRIST who will soon return for His faithful bride.

Therefore, a true holiness and righteousness church is easily identified but very difficult to find in today’s world because the god of this wicked world is now the presiding and resident pastor of majority of churches on earth. So, when JESUS will come for His bride in the rapture, will your garment be pure and white or stained with sin? Remember, nothing defied will ever enter through the holiness gate of heaven into paradise Revelation 21:27.

We are commanded. “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16.


Shalom.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE

Numbers 11:29 "And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"

The office of a prophet is ordained by GOD. 1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues." Hence the Bible says we should not despise prophesyings 1 Thessalonians 5:20. However, a prophet must speak according to the utterances given to him by the HOLY SPIRIT. He must not mistaken his own thoughts as the leading of the HOLY SPIRIT in regards to making claims and even boasting of such claims because if it fails to come to pass, then GOD was never involved in the first place.

Deuteronomy 18:18 "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

Jeremiah 23:16 "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. 18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? 21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. 25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. 26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. 28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. 30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. 32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. 33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD. 34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house."

In Matthew 19:26, the scripture reads "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Here, it was clearly stated by JESUS CHRIST that ALL THINGS are possible with GOD.

Also, in Luke 1:37, the angel Gabriel affirmed unto Mary declaring "For with God nothing shall be impossible." NOTHING shall be impossible means nothing shall be impossible for GOD to do.

However, when it comes to Hebrews 6:18, the Bible said one thing is impossible with GOD and that is, GOD can never LIE. The scripture reads "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us."

Prior to the just concluded Nigerian Presidential elections, a lot of Christians became #prophets overnight, declaring how the Almighty GOD had told them that He has anointed the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan to win the elections. In fact, some of them boasted and declared that if Goodluck Jonathan failed to win the election, then it was not GOD that spoke to them. This they were saying with their perceived hearing from GOD that it was a foreclosed issue as far as the 2015 presidential elections were concerned.

Now that the table has turned against their supposed 'GOD told me' prophecy and General Buhari declared winner of the elections by INEC, against their firmed boasting that GOD told them so, would these brethren that turned prophets overnight truly say that they heard from the True Almighty GOD regarding the election results favouring Jonathan?

Remember, let all men be liars but GOD remained truthful. Romans 3:4 "God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged."

If at all you must boasts, boasts in the LORD and in the power of His might, and not speaking your mind based on your favoured candidate and thereby turned it into 'GOD TOLD ME'. Psalms 34:2 "My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad."

For your information, GOD is NOT A POLITICIAN and would never dabbles into the politics of men as any power that be is of GOD, whether those held by Christians, Moslems, and others and He give it to whomsoever He will. Colossians 1:16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him."

GOD bless you all.
Happy Easter Sunday.

Shalom!

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!
