AFFLICTION SHALL NOT COME AGAIN

By -



I visited a friend and we were to take a commercial bus back from where we went to, we were lucky to meet the front seat of this vehicle empty because we can comfortable sit and keep discussing till we get to our destination but my friend wouldn’t want to sit in this front seat, why I queried? My friend reluctantly told me how he survived a ghastly accident while he was in the front of a vehicle some time ago and his neighbor in the front seat died and blood spilled on him. Ever then sitting in the front seat makes him feel terribly afraid as the fear that incidence will happen again.
Most of us like my friend have allowed a terribly past limit a bright future for us as the fear of what happened in the past still haunts us. The devil sees this past as a good chain of bondage in limiting the unsuspecting saint from enjoying his now and future.
Some people have refused to retake certain exams because they once failed such exam woefully or they heard that someone they considered better than them academically did fail that exam woefully.
That it happened yesterday doesn’t mean it will happen again….Nahum 1:9 says ….affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Yes, that terribly thing that happened before wouldn’t happen again. That you were afflicted before, failed before, had accident before, couldn’t succeed before etc. doesn’t mean they will happen again. Remember you’ve grown wiser, stronger, experienced etc. with those past failures and your faith has increased than it was when you failed before and most importantly the bible says that affliction shall not rise up the second time. So stretch yourself and do that you fear you can’t do because you failed in it before. Remember you can do all things never believe otherwise.
The voice of fear is the voice of the devil; never let fear hinder your progress in life.
God bless you.

EVIL

By -
WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
