JEALOUSY
… for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God…
Exodus 20:5

Jealousy is defined as fiercely protective or
vigilant of one’s right or possessions or
demanding exclusive attention.
When you love someone, you’ll want such a one
to show exclusive loyalty and attention to you
i.e. you want such a person’s attention for you
be unrivaled and unequalled to the attention he/
she shows to others and that is how it should
be.
Is Jealousy wrong? The answer is No because
even God exhibits this trait as He to demands
exclusive worship i.e. He doesn’t want us to
serve another god beside Him.
What should I do when I’m feeling Jealous?
Many boys have gone all out to beat there girl
friends and many girl friends have insulted and
rashly opted out of relationships they so
wanted because they were overwhelmed with
jealousy. So when we are jealous we should sit
down and find out what our spouse does that
makes us jealous then discourse it with him/
her. God told us plainly in Exodus 20 the
particular thing that makes Him Jealous and
warned us not to do it, in same wise we need
to point out those things (manner of relating
with others) that if our spouses engage on that
will make us feel jealous and discourse it with
them.
If you are in a relationship, your deepest
attention and fellowship should be with your
spouse. Never give similar deep attention you
give to your spouse to another if not you’ll stir
the spirit of Jealousy and end that relationship.
When a person is not jealous that you weren't
exclusive with him/her then such a person is
not exclusive with you either; it is that person
that has committed his whole attention to you
that will want to have all of your attention.
If you are in a relationship and your person is
making you jealous, try to talk to him/her about
it, if he/her continues then end such
relationship, its not meant for you; jealousy is
weighty, none need to live under its weight.
God bless you.

EVIL

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
